Yun Qishen

Chapter 2271 Puppet

Upon seeing Mo Langqin return to the room, Yan Cang quickly stopped talking with the ghosts and beasts and jumped off the bed to greet her.

"Mo Langqin, is something wrong outside?"

Seeing Yan Cang's pale and delicate face, Mo Langqin forced a smile and took her hand, leading her back to the bedside. "Nothing happened, you don't need to worry."

Before Yan Cang could say anything, the white figure resembling Yan Cang suddenly screamed angrily, "What did you bring back?! It's disgusting!"

"What disgusting thing?" Mo Langqin was puzzled. He looked at Bai Ying and frowned. Then, following Bai Ying's gaze, he noticed the soul-collecting bag and incense sticks stored at his waist. "It seems I was in such a hurry to come back that I forgot to give these things to Mo Ruo."

"This is disgusting stuff! Can you please throw it away already!" Bai Ying shouted loudly, her eyes tightly closed and her ears covered.

"There's just an ordinary soul in the bag, what exactly are you..." Before Mo Langqin could finish speaking, the white figure bumped into Mo Langqin and dodged away.

They're anything but ordinary! I don't want to see them! Throw that thing out! Throw it out!

"it is good……"

Mo Langqin and Yan Cang exchanged a glance, then released their clasped hands. Mo Langqin, his face slightly flushed, took the soul-collecting bag and incense sticks and opened the door to hand them to the guardian beast outside. Just as the soul-collecting bag was about to leave his hand, the auditory hallucination from the lamentation reappeared once more.

"I'm not a bad person... Let me go... Let me go... Let me go back!"

Mo Langqin's hand froze in mid-air. The white figure behind him screamed again, "Throw it out!!!"

Mo Langqin quickly handed the items to the ghost beast and turned back into the house. He approached the white figure and said, "Why are you reacting so strongly!"

"It's none of your business!" The white-clad figure covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression. She yelled at Mo Langqin before disappearing from sight.

"Hey! Stop disappearing all the time! At least tell me why!" Mo Langqin pressed, but Bai Ying ignored him. Clearly, there was some secret involved.

Just as Mo Langqin was wondering about the white shadow's secret, the blue ghost beast approached him.

The green ghost sniffed at Mo Langqin's waist. "Did you wear some kind of soul-capturing incense just now? It smelled wonderful."

"Soul-capturing incense?" Mo Langqin was slightly startled by the sudden approach of the green ghost.

The Green Ghost, its arm around Mo Langqin's shoulder, inhaled deeply. "That's right, Soul-Capturing Incense. It smells wonderful. This incense comes from the Eastern Kingdom and is excellent for refining souls. Souls love its aroma, and we ghost beasts are no exception."

As Qinggui was speaking, several more ghost beasts came over and began sniffing at Mo Langqin's waist.

"I didn't find the taste anything special." Mo Langqin wasn't annoyed by the ghost beasts tugging at her. She smiled and pushed them away, saying, "By the way, how's the thing I asked you to help with?"

After taking their last sip, the demons straightened up. The green demon crossed his arms, striking a haughty pose. [It was almost finished three days ago, but I didn't tell you because I saw you busy with all that. Now, just a little bit of soul is needed to complete the task.]

Upon hearing this, Mo Langqin's eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly urged, "Let me see it quickly!"

The green ghost chanted an incantation, and a surge of ghostly power gathered around his hand. As the power dissipated, a human skin puppet, identical to Yan Cang, appeared before Mo Langqin and Yan Cang. "Wow, she looks exactly like me!" Yan Cang curiously stepped forward and pinched the puppet's face; the face was warm, just like a real person's. "It's a pity, she just can't move..."

Yan Cang felt that it would be nice to have someone to talk to every day. Although she could talk and play games with the monsters, they were not human after all.

The green ghost continued speaking to Mo Langqin, "When the time comes, as long as we transfer a portion of the little guy's soul to him and transform some of his destiny, no one will be able to tell that he's a puppet unless they look very closely."

Mo Langqin excitedly put the human skin puppet into his storage ring, and he smiled happily, "Thank you so much."

"If anyone should thank you, it should be your book 'Demon Arts,' which clearly explains the Soul-Changing Clone Technique. However, only ghosts and beasts can perform this; otherwise, with your talent, you would have done even better." The Green Ghost patted Mo Langqin on the shoulder, praising him.

"With my abilities, I'm still far from good enough." Mo Langqin's face flushed slightly; he seemed unaccustomed to being praised. He turned to Yan Cang and said, "The most important thing now is to save her. After this is over, I can go down the mountain on a mission and ensure she leaves the Mo family forever, protecting her safety."

Yan Cang grasped Mo Langqin's hand again, blinking her eyes, "Do I... really have to leave you?"

Mo Langqin released Yan Cang's hand and patted her head instead. "It's too dangerous for you to stay here. I might be able to fool them once, but I can't guarantee I can fool them a second time. Besides, given Uncle San's personality, if you are exposed later, he will refine you on the spot. So Yan Cang, if this plan succeeds, I hope you will leave here forever."

"Alright..." Yan Cang pursed her lips. She wanted to stay by Mo Langqin's side because she believed he was her destined one. At the same time, she didn't want to put Mo Langqin in a difficult position, so she had no choice but to leave.

"Will you come to see me in the future?" Yan Cang asked tentatively.

Mo Langqin smiled gently at Yan Cang, "I definitely will."

-

Three days later, Mo Li woke up.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Mo Ruo lying on top of him, crying her eyes out.

"Brother Mo Li! Ah!!"

Mo Langqin, standing on the other side, also looked worried. "Brother Mo Li!"

"You two are both here..." Mo Li's voice was hoarse, his vocal cords had not fully recovered, so he could only use the remaining ghost power to control the ghost beast to help him speak.

"Brother Mo Li!!!" Mo Ruo's voice was so loud that people outside the house could hear it.

Mo Li raised her hand and grabbed Mo Ruo's messy hair, pulling it upwards. "Alright, Mo Ruo, your pressure on my chest hurts. Get up and stop crying..."

Mo Ruo obediently got up, but didn't stop crying. His tears were no longer from sadness, but from joy that Mo Li was alright. "I'm sorry, Mo Li-ge... but you waking up really... really... Waaah! Mo Li-ge!!!"

Mo Li's expression remained calm. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, help me sit up first, and I'll tell you slowly."

Mo Langqin stepped forward to help, and while helping Mo Li up, he asked, "Brother Mo Li, what happened to you?"

Mo Li endured the pain in her body and slowly spoke, "This matter is very complicated... My mission was to collect vengeful spirits and evil souls, but I encountered a very strange thing..."
