C350 (1/2)

There was actually a small river here, and along the river was a lush shrub. Liu Ruochen frowned; that sound just now seemed to have come from here, but after she walked closer, it seemed to have disappeared, yet Xiao Lan was still walking forward.

If they continued, Liu Ruchen would have been able to stop Xiao Lan because he was too slow to think. Xiao Lan directly walked into the river, and the highest water level in the river was only half a meter, so Liu Ruchen was not worried. However, when he brought Xiao Lan out from the river, she was already completely drenched.

As if she was startled, Xiao Lan woke up. ”Liu …” Brother Liu, what just happened? ”I think …” As she talked, her face turned completely red. Liu Ruochen was quite certain that there was such an existence in the outskirts of Red city. He was already surprised by the presence of the ancient building, but that was one of the three great legends; how could there be such a thing in a river?

Liu Ruochen's soul was now quite powerful, so the temptation of the water ghost was not affected at all. After releasing his soul consciousness, Liu Ruchen discovered that there was actually a corpse inside the river, and it seemed like it belonged to a woman. What surprised him the most was that the soul of the owner of the corpse had actually cultivated into a ghost, and was tightly attached to the corpse under the water.

The ghost lady seemed to have sensed that Liu Ruchen was spying on her, and she immediately started to fight back. However, she had no way of resisting against Liu Ruchen's powerful consciousness.

”Please spare my life, Supreme Celestial, this little girl was momentarily muddle-headed.” Liu Ruochen could clearly feel the female ghost's aura of grievance after her death. The river was clear, but there were no living things in it. The location of the river had actually become cloudy because of the female ghost's existence. No wonder it could affect Xiao Lan from so far away.

Immortal? Even though he was the successor of the ancient building and had also received the mysterious inheritance of the Mo Courtyard, he had exaggerated his status as a Supreme Celestial. Judging from the way this ghost girl dressed up as a modern human, he smiled and said, ”I'm not some Supreme Celestial, but it's best for you to explain to me how you survived. Otherwise, hehe, by the way, why did you die here?”

After a short conversation, Liu Ruchen finally understood. This woman was actually forcefully kidnapped here by someone, and she wanted to commit suicide. Once things went wrong, she would just use a rock to sink into the river.

”If what you said is the truth, then I can forgive you for what you did this time. Seeing that your soul is unstable and did not absorb any souls, is this the first time you've done this?”

Liu Ruochen was surprised when she spoke. If this woman could affect a person's soul with a single strike, it meant that her consciousness was quite strong and her willpower was strong. At the very least, she was not on the same level as an ordinary person.

His soul was very stable underwater. At this moment, Liu Ruchen realized that there was a benefit in communicating using his Spiritual Sense, but Xiao Lan beside him would not notice anything wrong. As for the disadvantage, the figure that he saw in front of him was still quite blurry, and could only form a blurry figure in his mind.

Seeing that Xiao Lan's face was still slightly rosy and thinking back to when she asked him to cook dinner just now, Liu Ruchen instantly understood. Xiao Lan definitely did not think about anything good, it was no wonder that a girl like her, who liked looking for excitement, would not want to try it out in the wild. This meant that this ghost girl had probably used her weakness to wake her up.
