Chapter 314 Final Goodbyes

Eeeeeeeeee!!!!~~~~

The Mandrake root screamed at the top of its lungs, almost bursting Feizen's ears.

But to everyone else, it was completely mute. All they could see was a root with eyes and a mouth, shaking and opening its mouth strangely.

"Ahhhh~... Make it stop! Make it stop!!"

Feizen held her ears, rolling uncontrollably with closed eyes.

What???

Everyone watched the mandate root rush forth and jump into one of Feizen's ugly hands.

And in no time, it formed a skin-like lump, completely attaching on her body at a visible rate.

F***!

Everyone's eyes were opened exaggeratedly. What sort of fairy operation was this?

If they hadn't seen it happen, they would've never believed such a thing could be real.

All 4 witnesses had taken one step forth, one step back, and then one step further again, confused on whether to back away or advance and poking it with a stick or something long in the room.

It looked like a curse in their eyes, especially with the old witch appearance Feizen already had.

"Grandmaster, why did you attach the Mandrake root on her?"Chan-ki was very curious. What purpose would it serve?

"Her nightmares and heavenly punishment will be assisted by the Mandrake."

Apart from being medicinal, the Mandrake root in the hands of a skilled exorcist could be a powerful law enforcement tool.

The screaming Mandrake root will add harrowing experiences to Feizen's dreams.

If she had to experience what it felt like for her victims to get tortured, killed, raped, and even poisoned, the root's hellish screams would cause a greater effect.

Even now, Feizen still thought she was not wrong. This was why Dorian decided to use the root. If she had shown genuine remorse, he would have added such a gruesome root to the mix.

At the moment, the Mandrake root had bound with the heavenly powers thanks to his spell. So it would only fall off her body once she truly repented.

But he wouldn't tell her this. She had a long life span ahead of her. So it wouldn't be bad for her to discover it on her own.

.

"Ahhhh~... Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" Feizen screamed frantically.

Although the screams had suddenly vanished, the big lump on her arm told her she wasn't dreaming.

The damn root had become one with her body! She had the impulse to rush to the hospital and remove this fat tumor-like growth.

But what she didn't know was that the more she tampered with it, the worse the situation would be.

With Feizen's matter over, Dorian calmly turned his attention to Elder Ming.

"Do you want to see your daughter?"

"Can... Can I?"... Elder Ming answered with unwavering expectations on his quivering face.

As for everyone else, they were... Well... They were still dumbfounded by Dorian's words.

Wait... Was this guy saying there were even more ghosts around them?

Dorian calmly looked at the space above Elder Ming.

"You know you should've left a long time ago. So... Do you want to have yourself, or should I send you off without giving you a chance to say your final goodbye?"

"No!"

A sudden eerie voice echoed, making everyone's hair stand at attention. Only Elder Ming wasn't scared at all.

No one can understand his love for his precious granddaughter. From the minute she was born till now, she would always be grandpa's parking girl.

"Lan Lan... Is that you?" Elder Ming's voice trembled, looking at the space where the voice came from.

Plop.

He fell to his knees. "Lan Lan, I'm sorry. I should've known. You were killed by this vicious girl. But all I did was shelter your murderer instead."

Everyone felt very sad for Elder Ming. If they were in his shoes, it wouldn't be a scratch to say they too might feel like killing Feizen.

Elder Ming's eyes turned redder the heavier his tears flowed. "I'm ashamed... Lan Lan... I'm so ashamed!"

"Grandpa, please don't kneel. You're not wrong. You were deceived. So I don't blame you."

The voice whispered out. And though eerie, it was clear that the ghostly owner was trying to make her voice softer.

And as she spoke, her image finally became visible.

So terrible!

Everyone saw a palish blue figure dripping wet, looking exactly as she did when she died. Whoever she spoke, ghostly water would flush out her mouth. Though what was strange was that this water seemed to vanish the moment it was about to hit the floor.

Hulan looked at Dorian in gratitude.

She didn't want to come out because of her original appearance. But after Dorian adjusted her outer look, she knew she was more pleasing in the eye and wouldn't scare her grandpa.

If she had appeared the way she did earlier, no one might have the stomach to look at her, especially with all the Yin she had been taking in all these years.

She learned the hard way from other wandering ghosts that the longer she stayed in the mortal world, the more Yin she would pick up.

Her time in these past few years wasn't easy.

She avoided the Heavenly hour, refusing to get directly dragged away into ascension.

Again, she had to avoid getting devoured by underworld beings while keeping a safe distance from her living loved ones, lest her Yin affect them too much.

They could get sick, have ill luck, and even if she mingled around them too often.

That's why she only stayed far, watching over them in fear that Feizen might harm them.

This was why she never left. How could she leave them in the hands of her vicious friend?

Over tge years, she had tried to warm them. But everyone took the things happening around them as 'accidents.'

Of course, she dared not write it out or reveal herself since she didn't want them to have nightmares with the notion that ghosts exist.

That's why she chose to protect them hidden far above.

And now that Feizen was getting what was coming to her, Hulan Ming, her initial resentment vanished.

Yes. Now she was ready to go.
