There was a locust tree in the vicinity of the great locust tree. There wasn't a single living creature around, not even a single blade of grass could be seen.

Bright moonlight poured down from the sky, splashing through the branches and leaves on the ground. It was a beautiful sight to behold.

Summer, logically speaking, was the time for cicadas to croak and frogs to croak. There were no frogs in the woods to understand, but there was no cicadas to seem abnormal.

After Li Dao killed the tree demon, the huge locust tree had withered and died. The leaves had withered and lost their moisture.

The surrounding locust trees also seemed to grow out from the roots of the tree demon, and the entire forest lost its vitality.

"Young Master Li, I have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, we sisters would still be the accomplices of the tiger. Who knows how many innocent bystanders we would still harm."

Nie Xiaoqian bent down and gripped her waist. The combination of her white clothes and her face that was as white as jade was pleasing to the eyes. She should be the most classical beauty in the world.

"Yes, thank you for saving me, young master. I will never forget it!"

Qing`er's eyes flashed with a hint of charm as she bent her waist to display her unsightly expression.

The other female ghosts saluted and expressed their gratitude. They were no longer as afraid of Li Dao as they were before. One of the ghost girls, who was on bad terms with Nie Xiaoqian, even turned her gaze towards Li Blade, pretending that she didn't see anything.

"Both of you, get up. I only saved you casually. Don't worry about it." Li Dao said absent-mindedly as he supported them with his hands. He was thinking about if he should go find Xin 14 Niang and Xia Bing. After all, their cultivation levels were too low. Walking in the martial arts world was easy to cause trouble. They should still be around.

"To Young Master, this is a small matter, but to Xiaoqian and the other sisters, it is no less than the grace of being reborn."

As Nie Xiaoqian spoke, she bent down again.

Li Dao came back to his senses and looked at the female ghosts. He asked, "The tree demon is dead and you all are free. What are your plans now?"

The ghost girls looked miserable and remained silent for a while.

After a while, two female ghosts stood up and weakly said to Li Dao, "Young Master, we don't want to live in this world anymore. We want to go into reincarnation."

Li Dao nodded and the two female ghosts left by themselves.

"What about you guys, what are your plans?"

Li Dao had some conjectures. These female ghosts were mostly people who had died in vain. There were almost no sick people like Nie Xiaoqian who had died. If they didn't have any grievances in their chests, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to turn into evil spirits. Despite their meek and obedient behavior in front of him, each of them looked like a lady from a noble family. However, it was hard to tell what they looked like when they met ordinary people.

Even if they didn't seek revenge, they probably wouldn't be willing to go through the tribulations of reincarnation. What's wrong with being an evil ghost? What's wrong with having a ghost body, having magic power, not having to worry about money, eating and living, and so on.

Before Li Dao started cultivating, he had also thought how great it was to be a ghost and never again needed Samsara as a human. This was probably what the female ghosts in front of him were thinking, but he didn't dare to say it out loud for fear that Li Dao might kill them off.

"Young Master, I haven't avenged Qing`er yet and her husband is still living happily at home. Qing`er really can't bear to leave him behind." Qing`er wasn't that afraid of Li Dao and directly stated her intentions.

Not only did her husband not have any guts, he even beat her to death. After she died, he was also imprisoned by the tree demon, it would be strange if he could recover his resentment. To be able to maintain his rationality and not turn into a human devouring ghost, Qing`er was already considered very outstanding.

"En, you can go now!" "I can only take revenge on the wicked, and do not implicate innocent people." Li Dao nodded. Although he was not afraid of karma, he did not want those who had not lived their entire lives to be hurt because of him.

"I'm from Qing`er Province, wait for Qing`er's revenge before returning to serve Young Master, I wish to be a slave for all eternity." As Qing`er spoke, she flew away.

The other female ghosts found Li Dao easy to talk to. They all said that they wanted revenge, or that they were not willing to be reborn. Their lifespan would dissipate on its own accord.

Li Dao couldn't deny it. He accepted it, and in the end, only Nie Xiaoqian was left standing on the spot.

"Miss Xiao Qian, what are your plans now?"

Faced with Li Dao's question, Nie Xiaoqian blankly shook her head.

"How about I send you to reincarnation?"

Nie Xiaoqian shook her head. Li Dao scrutinized Nie Xiaoqian and said, "How about you stay by my side and be a concubine?"

Originally, these words were more of a joke than a joke. Li Dao had originally come with the intention of taking Nie Xiao Qian as his maid. However, all he did was think about it.

Unexpectedly, Nie Xiaoqian actually nodded her head and replied in a gentle voice, "Xiaoqian is willing to follow Young Master and repay the debt of gratitude I owe to my father-in-law."

"I'm not trying to force you to repay my kindness. You should think it through by yourself. Don't be a concubine!"

Li Dao smiled bitterly. This Nie Xiaoqian was also an honest person. A hero saving a beauty. A beauty had fallen into his hands. However, he wasn't a hero and Nie Xiaoqian was a female ghost.

If he was ugly, would Nie Xiaoqian say that Xiao Qian had no way to repay the Young Noble's kindness, and could only work hard in her next life?
