Chapter 490: Chapter 321: Human Replacement (4000 words)

Judging the nature of spirits was not overly complex.

Vengeful spirits, wandering souls, good spirits.

Vengeful spirits were one extreme, and good spirits were another.

According to the experience of Beichuan Si, the following conclusion could be drawn:

If one had become a vengeful spirit, then there was inevitably pure malice towards the living, no matter how kind one had been in life, there would be torment and murder of the living.

And if one had become a good spirit—

Judging by the current results, all the good spirits by Beichuan Si’s side were Salty Eggs, leading to the conclusion that good spirits equaled Salty Eggs, which wasn’t unreasonable. However, it was certain that good spirits couldn’t be defined so simply. What could be known was that since they were good spirits, they wouldn’t harm the living.

"You actually don’t plan to exorcise me?" Sanseiyuan Tenzi looked at Beichuan Si in surprise.

Initially, she thought she wouldn’t be able to escape this time, but unexpectedly, there seemed to be a twist of fate.

She couldn’t help but let out a breath, her expression filled with relief.

This relaxation brought out the Buddhist nature of Sanseiyuan Tenzi. She praised, "Although you look poker-faced and seem to have a bad temper, you’re not the type that can’t communicate, right?"

Snap!

A little doll suddenly leaped from behind and smacked Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s head with its round fist.

Watching her wince in pain and lower her head, Nishijou Kurenai climbed back onto Beichuan Si’s shoulder, with an expression that didn’t allow bad-mouthing Brother Temple.

Beichuan Si was indifferent to Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s words; his facial expression unchanged as he spoke, "Then let’s discuss the issue of your stay or departure next."

"Huh?" Sanseiyuan Tenzi blinked in confusion.

As Beichuan Si took out the Shinra Bell, he said, "I did say that I wouldn’t exorcise you, but whether you stay or leave still needs to be discussed between us."

There’s no need for such trouble, just let me be a Salty Egg here, it’s not bad being a socially inept ghost.

Sanseiyuan Tenzi opened her mouth, but quickly realized she had no say in the matter, which was entirely in the hands of Beichuan Si. Thus, she could only purse her lips and abandon expressing her thoughts.

"You think there’s no need to bother about you, and that it’s okay to let you continue being a useless good spirit. That’s what you think, right?"

"How did you know what I was thinking—" Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s complexion changed.

Does the man before her also possess the Mind Reading Technique?

"I don’t have the Mind Reading Technique; my conclusion is merely from simple observation," Beichuan Si shook his head, denying Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s assumption.

But the more he denied, the more Sanseiyuan Tenzi was convinced he had the ability to read minds.

Beichuan Si didn’t care what Sanseiyuan Tenzi thought; he just reached out and tapped the Shinra Bell.

Dingling—

The clear and solemn sound of the Shinra Bell rang out, and amidst the sound, strands of golden aura converged. A girl in a red and white miko dress slowly walked forward.

She politely nodded towards Sanseiyuan Tenzi without speaking, her excellent upbringing evident in her half-closed eyes, as she sat upright next to Beichuan Si’s right hand.

"You’ve already met Kelian, the little doll beside me... And this is Shenzhu Shihui, a good spirit of the same type as you."

Beichuan Si briefly introduced them and continued, "Now you have two choices, one is to leave the Hayakawa Family with me. The other is to stay with the Hayakawa Family and accept their spiritual shrine offerings to live the life you desire."

"I..." Sanseiyuan Tenzi looked at Beichuan Si, about to speak.

"Don’t rush, wait until I’ve finished analyzing the pros and cons." Beichuan Si held up two fingers and continued, "If you leave the Hayakawa Family with me, you may encounter some unpredictable dangers since I often deal with vengeful spirits."

Beichuan Si spoke slowly and honestly.

In fact, he could have deceived Sanseiyuan Tenzi, but that would have been disrespectful to her. And if he used various excuses to deceive her, what if this fellow was all show and no work later on? So, deceit held no benefits for Beichuan Si and could cause unnecessary rifts; naturally, he set aside that option.

He went on, "If you prefer to stay with the Hayakawa Family, I will secure you a favorable treatment. Accepting the offering from the Hayakawa’s spiritual shrine will nourish your good intentions. However, if the Hayakawa Family encounters trouble with vengeful spirits or the sort, we would still hope for your help. This choice is undoubtedly better than leaving here with me."

"Now you can state your choice. Either way, I will accept it, but it may be difficult for you to live as secluded as before since the Head of the Hayakawa Family has already taken notice of you."

Sanseiyuan Tenzi’s eyes sparkled slightly; she looked at Beichuan Si and tentatively extended one finger, saying, "I choose... the second option."

She couldn’t help hesitating because, despite Beichuan Si’s appealing offer, there might only be one path in the end —

After saying this, Sanseiyuan Tenzi lowered her head, her expression growing tense.

She had expressed her stance; now it was time to see whether Beichuan Si would go back on his word.

Beichuan Si didn’t stay silent; he looked at Sanseiyuan Tenzi, an honest expression on his face, "I understand. I will respect your decision."

He actually agreed?

Sanseiyuan Tenzi swallowed hard.

Incredulity filled her heart.

Could it be that Beichuan Si was genuinely a good person?
