Ninety-two vengeful spirits and resentful ghosts

  Xiao Qingzhu.

  The sun sets in the west, flying clouds by the river, cool breeze blowing gently, the evening glow reflected on the river's surface with a faint red hue, Du Si Lin called out and stopped in her tracks.

  "Why do you seem to know everything?"

  After hearing Xiao Qingzhu's story about her bet with Peng Luofei, Du Siling dared to guarantee that before Xiao Qingzhu and Peng Luofei made the bet, Xiao Qingzhu had already anticipated the current outcome.

  Xiao Qingzhu smiled, her fingers passing through Du Siling's long hair that was blown up by the wind, playing with it gently. "Actually, I didn't expect the ending either, and I don't know anything."

  Du Sulin put on a disbelieving look, but she knew that as soon as Xiao Qingzhu spoke these words, she had already believed them.

  "Alright, alright," Xiao Qing said with a smile, "I'll tell you, for Luo Fei, the thing that is as important as life itself is words. So I made a bet with her to finish writing a book. Although I don't know how long it will take to complete a book, but based on her almost perfect requirements for words, it won't be too short. In this period of time, she will strive and can even say force herself to see new people and new things. Gradually, she will discover that the world she was in before is just a small square. The more roads she travels, the more experiences she has, the more attachments she will let go of."

  "So you're so sure I'll be back before your bet is over?" Du Siling asked.

  Xiao Qingzhu showed a thoughtful look, and said in a low voice: "You're right, if you come back late, it won't be good. But," she paused for a moment, with a playful expression on her face, "I've already made up my mind. A gentleman can't break his promise, but I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a little woman."

  "...Duslin began to sympathize with Peng Luofei, who must have thought similarly to her, assuming that Xiao Qingzhu had long anticipated the outcome. However, it turned out that Xiao Qingzhu had been preparing to shirk responsibility from the very beginning."

  Xiao Qingzhu's eyes flickered with a faintly triumphant light, like a mischievous child who had gotten away with something. This Xiao Qingzhu, in this lifetime, probably no one except Du Siling would have the good fortune to see.

  "Right, why hasn't the little guy come back yet?" Poor little guy, was finally remembered by Xiao Qingzhu at this moment.

  Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives.

  Xiao Qingzhu's words had barely fallen when she felt a sudden weight in her arms. Unconsciously, she lowered her head to take a look and found the little guy snuggled up in her embrace, only... he looked like he was in a bit of disarray.

  The originally neatly combed short watermelon hair is now messy and has become a center parting, with an unknown dark red stain on her delicate face, which also extends to her clothes.

  Xiao Qingzhu looked at the little guy, then turned his head to look at Du Siling. Du Siling still had a calm and composed expression, as if he had expected the little guy's current appearance, and suddenly understood a bit.

  She put the little guy on the ground, took out a tissue to wipe away the stains on his face. In that instant of close inspection, she suddenly knew what the dark red stuff was - it was blood.

  "Don't you want to explain?" Xiao Qingzhu suddenly felt a surge of anger for no reason. Why was there so much blood on the little guy's body, Du Siling obviously knew.

  Du Sulin also half-squatted, stretched out his hand and pinched the little guy's chubby face, and smiled at Xiao Qingzhu: "That's black dog blood. When I came over this afternoon, I saw that something was wrong on the west side, so I let her take a look. I reckon she must have encountered some kind of vengeful spirit or evil ghost, so she used the black dog blood. But why did you get splattered all over yourself?"

  "This last sentence was naturally directed at the little guy, whose face suddenly turned bright red. A pair of clear black and white eyes glanced secretly at Du Siling, then lowered his head and said in a soft voice: "Uh, I went to that place, not just one evil spirit, but many. Auntie said that the best way to deal with evil spirits is to use black dog blood, but I didn't have any black dog blood, so I went to find a black dog, wanting it to give me some blood. However, it was very stingy and wouldn't give me any, and even wanted to bite me... we ended up fighting... then I won and took a little bit of its blood. Finally, it suddenly butted me..."

  Just as Xiao Qingzhu was still trying his best to hold back his laughter, Du Siling had already covered his stomach and burst out laughing.

  The little one looked at this and that, but in the end hung her head low. She didn't understand why she hadn't completed the task, but the two mothers seemed very happy. Anyway, having a good attitude never hurts.

  "So in the end, you're just being sent back with your tail between your legs, huh?" Du Siling half-squatted, one hand on his knee and the other rubbing his chin, truly at a loss for what to say to the little guy.

  "Uh-huh." The little guy nodded and kept poking his index finger, "Auntie said I'm not allowed to use the Thunderbolt Ball without her permission..."

  "Ah!" Du Sulin reached out and pinched the little guy's face with a bit of force, the tender skin feeling making her somewhat unable to help herself. "Didn't your aunt teach you some practical spells?"

  The little guy listened and buried his head even deeper, just like a small ostrich.

  It's clear that she didn't work hard enough in her daily life, and when it came to a critical moment, she didn't know how to flexibly apply her skills.

  "Xiao Qingzhu, I want to take her over there and see what's going on, and also teach her some things. Are you coming?" Du Siling stood up, skillfully grasping the little guy's collar, just like holding a chick. The little guy was somewhat mentally prepared this time and was much calmer. "You go first, let's see who gets there first!" After saying that, she casually tossed the little guy out, and he transformed into a silver light and disappeared into the distance.

  "We're going too!" Before Xiao Qingzhu could respond with a yes or no, Du Sili had already scooped her up in his arms and vanished into thin air.

  Xiao Qingzhu finally understood why it was said that zombies could come and go without a shadow. She only felt that the scenery around her had turned into a flowing light, making it impossible for her to capture. Just as she managed to hug Du Siling's neck, Du Siling had already smiled at her with satisfaction: "We're here."

  Xiao Qing's face quickly flushed with a red glow, she struggled to get down, but unexpectedly Du Si Lin didn't intend to let her down at all.

  "Have you always been so slender?" Du Siling looked down at Xiao Qingzhu, her gaze fell into Xiao Qingzhu's eyes, Xiao Qingzhu wanted to turn away, but in the end, she couldn't bear to.

  When Du Sulin picked up Xiao Qingzhu, she was filled with astonishment. She knew Xiao Qingzhu was thin, but hadn't expected her to be this thin. Her clothes were completely supported by her skeleton, and the places where her hands were holding had not a single thread of flesh.

  The little one finally arrived, and she fell to the ground to see Duslin and Xiao Qingzhu already waiting for her at their destination, and was struck again. However, the two of them had a very strange posture. Looking at Qingzhu's mom's expression, that posture should be very comfortable, so next time I'll try it too. Just as the little one was thinking about it in her heart, Duslin suddenly popped a bubble on her head: "Little devil, what are you thinking about with your eyes shining brightly!"

  The little guy rubbed his forehead, pouted, but surprisingly didn't refute anything. The little devil who was usually naughty at home was now as gentle as a lamb.

  This is a forest in the west of the city, originally a place where people would go for picnics on weekends, but now, due to the zombies, almost no one comes here anymore.

  Although it's already autumn now, the trees in the forest still look lush and thriving.

  Du Sulin found an empty space and drew a circle on it.

  "Du Qing Luan, do you know how to draw a boundary symbol?" She pointed at the circle and asked the little guy.

  Behind the three, the dead energy wanted to surge up, but Du Sulin just seemed to glance back at it unintentionally, and the dead energy dared not approach again, stopping at a certain distance.

  The little guy thought hard for a while, and several times the silver spiritual power had already gathered at her fingertips to try to draw, but in the end, she still shook her head at Du Siling.

  Du Sulin led Xiao Qingzhu into the circle and said: "Du Qingluan, take a look around."

  The little guy turned around and took a look, only to find that at some point, the area behind him had become filled with death energy. It was just unknown what reason caused the death energy to be isolated within a certain range.

  "From now on, Xiao Qingzhu and I will stay in this circle. I'll release the seal on those things, and next, you're on your own." Du Siling's words sounded stern, but her tone wasn't serious. She squatted down and rubbed the little guy's head, "Go ahead, we trust you, but only use magic, no Thunderball allowed."

  The little guy nodded, puffed out his chest and turned around.

  "Is this your punishment for me?" Xiao Qingzhu asked as Du Sulin stood up again.

  Du Sulin smiled slightly and calmly admitted: "Yes."

  Xiao Qingzhu smiled helplessly, but Du Siling was still concerned about her weight. However, she didn't have the slightest fear, for as long as she was by Du Siling's side, what else could she be afraid of?

  The little guy was soon overwhelmed by the dead air, and could only faintly hear the mournful cries of the fierce ghosts. Nor did he know how many people had died to gather so many fierce ghosts and resentful spirits. Why hadn't they been taken away by the underworld? These questions flashed through Du Siling's mind one after another.

  "Is Qing Luan really okay?" As death crept in closer and closer, the little guy's movements became smaller and smaller.

  So-called boundary markers have no shadow.

  Boundary marker, as its name suggests, is a protective spell that is commonly used. After selecting an area and casting this spell, the entire area will be protected. However, when encountering slightly more powerful vengeful spirits or ghosts, this spell becomes less effective. Therefore, boundary markers are basic spells that beginners usually learn to get started.

  "Let's worry about ourselves first!" As soon as the words were spoken, Du Sulin had already pulled Xiao Qingzhu into his arms and was dodging left and right to evade the fierce ghosts that were closing in on them.

  Du Sulin didn't even use the most basic fist and footwork, just maintaining a defensive state all along. With two fists against four hands, she was also having a hard time.

  "Be careful, Silin!" With Xiao Qingzhu's cry of alarm, Du Silin's hand had already been torn off a piece of flesh and blood. But what was strange was that although Xiao Qingzhu had clearly seen Du Silin get hurt with her own eyes, in reality, Du Silin's hand remained intact and unscathed.

  A silver arrow landed on the circle drawn by Du Sulin, and in an instant, it alleviated the crisis of Du Sulin and Xiao Qingzhu.

  Du Sulin took a deep breath, sizing up this timely interloper, nodding in approval and muttering to himself: "Still an upgraded version, looks like he's got some skills."

  Xiao Qingzhu stared at the place where Du Siling was injured, speechless for a long time.

  When Du Sulin noticed Xiao Qingzhu's gaze, she followed Xiao Qingzhu's line of sight and suddenly stretched out her hand in front of Xiao Qingzhu, waving it back and forth, pretending to be casual: "Nothing's wrong."

  "How could this be?" Xiao Qingzhu asked.

  Du Sulin felt uneasy under Xiao Qingzhu's gaze, she only felt that she had done something unforgivable, and finally could only confess: "Because I don't have a physical body."

  Xiao Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she knew that Du Siling was different from before. She remembered the message Peng Haotian had brought back to report about Du Siling, yes, Du Siling's body, in order to kill the drought demon, had absorbed too much energy and exploded.

  That's why Duslin is now injured, directly hurt in her soul. That's why she was panting so hard just now. And yet she still wants to pretend to be so calm, this fool!

  "Don't go out yet, wait for me."

  Du Sulin flashed out of the circle, and as she passed by, it was as if she had entered a realm without any evil spirits. With one swift motion, she lifted up the little guy, who at this point was gasping for air with no strength left, his spiritual energy almost completely depleted.

  "Do you still have the energy?" Du Sulin asked.

  The little guy tried hard to nod, but failed. Du Sulin smiled and picked up the little guy again, putting him back in that circle. She let Xiao Qingzhu hold the little guy, then hugged Xiao Qingzhu herself, shouting loudly: "Going home!"

  Vanished into thin air.
