Fate Trading System – Chapter 77

Plan A

Gift of the Spring Breeze 11

Red Candle

The reality of the truth is even more nauseating than murder and robbery, which even Ling Zhi did not expect. So, when she recounted the matter, she anticipated Su Xin’s reaction.

Su Xin retched, almost having already imagined the scene.

There wasn’t just one perpetrator; instead, there were two groups.

“They are too excessive, aren’t they the same kind?”

Don’t humans advocate that if one is not of our race, their heart must be different?

“This actually isn’t much, didn’t you see what I just did? Did you feel any discomfort?”

“No.”

Su Xin shook her head.

“Although I am now a ghost, I was once human, and she was once human too, so what’s the difference between humans eating humans and ghosts eating ghosts?”

Ling Zhi felt the difference wasn’t too great, just a bit too disgusting.

If it is for power, then such selfish desires can still be understood by people, but if it is purely for one’s own preference, then it is truly insane.

“Not the same, really not the same, in my view, it is not the same.”

Just like a demon eating a demon and a demon devouring the power of the same kind after death.

“You are good, they are bad.”

The little demon said firmly.

Ling Zhi rubbed Su Xin’s hair, “Little fool.”

“They all should be eliminated, anyway, they are all people. I will let the young master properly handle them. I will go notify the young master now.”

Su Xin pushed the door and walked out.

The pouring rain was still falling, estimated to end in ten minutes or so. This kind of heavy rain comes quickly and fiercely, but usually does not last too long.

Su Xin explained this matter clearly with a tone filled with righteous indignation.

“Young master, you must properly punish them!”

“Naturally, you go back first. Wait until they act first, then I’ll take action. I’ll call you then.”

Su Xin nodded and returned to her room.

The rain stopped, and water dripped from the eaves.

As it was about dinner time, the shopkeeper came up carrying a tray.

It looked appealing, especially the dish in the middle, which smelled very fragrant.

Qin Yi picked up a piece with chopsticks; it was not pork, lamb, or beef.

Su Xin knew what it was, sitting beside with chopsticks in hand, her stomach churning. Demons actually eat people, but she was a plant-turned-demon, with no craving for fresh blood and raw meat, not to mention that deep down, Su Xin was human.

No matter how it’s prepared to be appetizing, it cannot change the fact that it is human meat.

“What kind of meat is this?”

Qin Yi looked at the shopkeeper, pressing his lips.

“Of course, it is top-grade good meat. Try it and you’ll know; you will definitely like it. Our chef’s skills are not just talk.”

The shopkeeper looked very confident, urging Qin Yi to try.

“You go out first. We don’t like someone watching while we eat. Wait until we finish eating, then we’ll call you to come up and tidy.”

…

“Good, if you still have other needs, guest, please just instruct.”

Qin Yi did not touch the things on the table, and Su Xin naturally did not either.

Ling Zhi stood beside Su Xin, with her hand placed on her shoulder.

Qin Yi picked up a nearby dish again, placed it at the tip of his nose, and sniffed.

“They added ingredients, take it away to pour out.”

Qin Yi looked around the room for a place to hide these food.

“Young master, I’ll do it.”

Su Xin’s hand pointed above, and more than half of those meals disappeared, as if they had really been eaten by someone.

“Young master, would you like a pear? I just grew them this year, very fresh.”

In Su Xin’s hand, out of thin air, appeared a very large, juicy-looking pear with a good appearance.

“The pears I bear are all very sweet, rest assured, unlike those unsavory ones sold outside.”

Su Xin also didn’t wash it, just wiped it and stuffed a big bite into her mouth, saying indistinctly.

A daughter’s own pears…no matter what, you must taste and support them!

Su Xin’s true form is a very large pear tree, perhaps because she has a spirit, so the pears are all especially sweet and tasty, even having a more powerful body-nourishing effect than ordinary pears.

During its fruit-bearing period, many local villagers go up the mountain to pick her pears. Su Xin specially stored a portion for herself, for her father and elder sister to eat.

【This relationship déjà vu is simply…without any sense of incongruity.】

Qin Yi, holding a pear, munching, thought of a problem.

A pear is the fruit that a pear tree bears; when planted, the pear’s seed can grow into a new pear tree…so, saying a pear is the child of a pear tree is not wrong…

Ah…daughter really can bear…

Ah…he ate his own grandson.

Qin Yi shook his head and continued happily eating his own juicy sweet big pear.

“Elder sister, do you want to eat?”

Su Xin finished the pear in her hand, looking up at Ling Zhi.

Ling Zhi originally planned to shake her head and refuse, but after seeing Qin Yi eating the pear so fragrantly, she changed her mind.

She nodded, indicating she wanted one.

Ling Zhi cannot touch physical objects, unless she holds Su Xin.

Su Xin thought for a moment, then simply stood up, holding the pear and feeding it to Ling Zhi bite by bite.

Ling Zhi was slightly stunned; she had originally intended to hold Su Xin with one hand and take the pear with the other, but since it was like this, it seemed to feel better.

Qin Yi watched the slightly shorter pear blossom demon tiptoe to bring the pear to the ghost lady’s mouth. The ghost lady took a bite, then lowered her head, allowing the young girl to be less strained, and in his heart, he shook his head, thinking their feelings were really good.

Deep in the quiet night, Qin Yi lay on the bed, pretending to be sleeping very soundly.

The door was gently pushed open, and someone approached his bed.

Su Xin, lying on the bed in another room, suddenly felt something was amiss.

The air was filled with a very strange smell, a faint fragrance that seemed to carry some spiritual energy, very pleasant to smell.

Su Xin’s body autonomously absorbed that thing, her expression somewhat blank.

The room door was opened, and a man with loose long hair wearing a Taoist robe walked in, looking somewhat sloppy.

He was a middle-aged Taoist, holding a section of a red candle in his hand.

Su Xin wanted to sit up but found her whole body unable to move.

“See what a good thing I have discovered; it’s been a long time since I encountered a demon.”

The Taoist smilingly approached, placing the red candle on the table.

“This really is a good place; people always deliver themselves to the door. Today, I actually see a demon, and she looks very good-looking.”

The Taoist had already walked to Su Xin’s bedside, with leering eyes appraising Su Xin’s body, lingering on her face.

“A demon indeed is a demon, not something those ordinary mortals with their cheap makeup can compare to.”

The Taoist touched his chin, as if thinking about where to take the first bite.

“I have not yet eaten a demon, wondering how a demon would compare to a human, but with such good looks, just eating is really a pity.”

Su Xin glared at the demon Taoist, feeling very strange about how he could have something that could render a demon powerless, as her spiritual power felt stagnated and could not be mobilized.

“Don’t look at me like this, the more you look at me like this, the more excited I get.”

The Taoist raised his hand, planning to undo Su Xin’s clothes.

The next moment, his body was fixed in place.

He stiffly turned around, with a chill behind him.

Ghosts cannot kill people, nor can they touch things, but they can possess, with one kind of existence as an exception, which is this kind of ghost-catching Taoist.

These people have already departed from the human realm, but are still far from gods; in mortal terms, they are half-immortals.

They can harm ghosts and catch demons, and also enjoy the incense offerings of the mortal world, making them a very popular kind of existence, but such people are not many and are very rare.

Since they catch ghosts, ghosts then have the right to resist them.

Ghosts cannot harm people, but they can harm these half-immortals, perhaps this is the price.

Taoists generally do not live long; some have peeked at heaven’s secrets, and some have their lifespans damaged by ghosts.

So generally, old Taoists are either highly skilled or poorly skilled.

Ling Zhi’s hand penetrated the Taoist’s body, and she took out his heart alive.

The Taoist fell to the ground, blood flowing endlessly, maintaining a state of dying with eyes wide open.

Ling Zhi disgustedly wiped her hand clean and went to see Su Xin’s situation.

Su Xin was no longer in the state of being powerless, but in another kind of very urgent desire.

Actually, if placed on a general demon’s body, there would have been a reaction long ago, but because Su Xin is plant-based, that effect was delayed.

“Pear, how are you?”

Ling Zhi’s hand was placed on Su Xin’s face, and with a wave, she extinguished the red candle.

“Elder sister, I feel very uncomfortable.”

Trees reproduce asexually, unlike animals that have the spring season.

The Taoist’s red candle was some strange thing that forcibly brought out Su Xin’s reaction. Su Xin likes a moist state and feels very uncomfortable with the current fiery state.

Ling Zhi’s hand had no temperature, icy cold, placed on Su Xin’s forehead.

Su Xin held that hand, dazedly looking at Ling Zhi.

What to do?

Ling Zhi, feeling somewhat troubled looking at the uncomfortable little fool, decided to find the more clever Qin Yi to discuss.

“Older sister…”

The pear blossom demon’s eyes were moist, looking pitiful.

The pear blossom demon didn’t know what to do, but Su Xin knew.

“Mm?”

Ling Zhi lowered her head, and their foreheads touched, channeling icy ghost power into Su Xin’s body.

This way, it should be able to lower the temperature, right?

Su Xin kissed Ling Zhi’s icy lips. Ling Zhi looked at her in astonishment, but a moment later, she gladly accepted, even reversing roles.

When those strong men approached, Qin Yi immediately turned over and got up, single-handedly dealing with several people.

Although those strong men seemed very determined, they had not been trained and only knew how to use brute force. Qin Yi put his sword on their necks, tapped their acupoints, and used the hemp rope they brought to tie them together.

Qin Yi planned to tell Su Xin there was no need to come to help because the situation was already resolved.

Excitedly pushing open the next room’s door, he saw two people kissing together, the scene was very beautiful, but the people were not correct.

Child, father is very disappointed in you.
