Chapter 43 The Great Good Man of the Tenth Life

Bang.

Jiang Nanxi kicked the knife out of the man's hand, then grabbed his wrist and slammed him to the ground with a clean over-the-shoulder throw.

The man felt as if his internal organs were about to shift, and he grimaced in pain, unable to hold back his roar.

"Who are you people? Why are you meddling in my business? I just want to save my lover! She was trafficked here and brutally murdered by those villagers. What's wrong with eating some of their hearts!"

After he finished speaking, the female ghost not far away looked at Jiang Nanxi pitifully.

The female ghost pleaded, "These people deserved to die. If I can't eat their hearts, I'll be annihilated. Please, have mercy and give me their hearts so I can be reincarnated."

Is this for real? This female ghost looks so fierce; I feel like she's lying.

Did she release the ghost baby to kill people?

[How could eating a heart cause your soul to be scattered? Only evil spirits would eat human hearts! Do they think Sister Xi is stupid?]

Jiang Nanxi glanced at the man, then at the pitiful female ghost.

She picked up the bag of hearts and threw it to the female ghost, saying, "So you're the victim here. Since you're so pitiful, you can have them."

The female ghost's eyes lit up, and she quickly caught the burlap sack, took out a heart from it, and swallowed it.

【What are you doing, Jiang Nanxi?!】

[Jiang Nanxi, why did you do something so foolish at such a crucial moment? That woman in red looks like a vengeful ghost; you can't trust what vengeful ghosts say!]

[She'll become even stronger after eating the heart. What if you can't beat her? Go get that bag of hearts back! You idiot!]

The female ghost swallowed two hearts, her ghostly aura intensified, her red skirt fluttered, and she flew over from the dilapidated temple, laughing loudly.

"Hahahaha, the heart I just dug out works really well! I can finally leave this dilapidated temple!"

The female ghost looked at Jiang Nanxi with a cold gaze.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to actually believe that. You're even more stupid than that man! Someone as foolish as you is useless in this world. You might as well give me your heart!"

The female ghost's five fingers formed claws, and her jet-black nails kept growing longer, stabbing towards Jiang Nanxi's heart.

Bang.

Jiang Nanxi swung the broom in her hand and hit the female ghost on the head.

A blinding golden light flashed across the broom, slamming the female ghost flat onto the ground.

The female ghost's eyes turned cold, and a dense ghostly aura emanated from the ground as her body reformed.

"Oh, so you're just a novice Taoist priest. You do have some skills, but compared to a powerful ghost like me, you're nothing special."

Jiang Nanxi snapped.

I flattened it again.

Before the female ghost could react, Jiang Nanxi stepped on her face.

"Aaaaah! How dare you! How dare you step on my face? You're asking for it! Do you believe I'll tear you to pieces and eat your soul?!"

Jiang Nanxi's toe rubbed against her face, and she said casually, "Oh? Then you try it."

As soon as the words were spoken, a powerful pressure was applied to the female ghost, pressing down on her like a small mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.

The female ghost peeked out with one eye at Jiang Nanxi, her eyes filled with terror, "Your soul... why is your soul like this..."

In her eyes, Jiang Nanxi's soul was shrouded in an extremely dense malevolent aura, a thousand times more concentrated than the one emanating from her own body, the scarlet malevolent aura almost completely transformed into red mist.

Jiang Nanxi looked down at her and asked, "What's the deal with the ghost baby in the village?"

The female ghost trembled with fear, then raised her flat arm and pointed to the dilapidated temple. "Underneath the temple are buried many baby girls who died tragically. The resentment of these babies after their deaths is so strong that they have all become ghost babies."

The village hired people to set up a protective array here. The ghost baby couldn't have escaped originally; it was that old woman who released it. If you want to settle scores, go find her, don't come looking for me!

Jiang Nanxi looked at her without saying anything.

The female ghost's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly added, "The old woman's daughter was kidnapped and brought here, but she was beaten to death because she couldn't give birth to a son."

The old woman found this place, so she obtained a batch of magical pills, hid the ghost infant inside them, and fed them to the villagers who wanted sons! She released the ghost infant to avenge her daughter; it really was her doing, it had nothing to do with me!

"Then why are you here?"

“I…I was indeed a woman who was abducted here. Because I kept trying to escape, I was beaten to death and buried here.”

The female ghost put on that pitiful expression again and said to Jiang Nanxi, "I'm trapped in the temple and can't get out. I haven't harmed anyone, really, please let me go!"

Jiang Nanxi released her foot, and the female ghost immediately floated up from the ground.

But just as she was about to run away with the bag of hearts, a talisman suddenly flew down from the sky and stuck to her back.

There was a boom.

A blue-purple lightning bolt suddenly struck down from the sky, instantly obliterating the female ghost.

"Xiaohong!"

A man's heart-wrenching voice rang out.

He crawled up from the ground, angrily saying, "Didn't you say you'd let her go? Why did you kill her! She finally managed to leave the ruined temple and be with me!"

Jiang Nanxi raised an eyebrow. "When did I agree to let her go?"

"You...! Even if you're capable, you can't just kill innocent ghosts! Little Red is innocent; she hasn't harmed anyone!"

Jiang Nanxi looked at him sarcastically, "This female ghost has killed people before. She killed An'an. There's not a single truth in her mouth."

Besides, you've fed her so many human hearts, fueling her ferocity. She'll need to eat hearts to increase her cultivation level in the future. Do you really believe she'll stay with you after she's released? The first thing she'll eat will be your heart.”

The man roared, "No, it's impossible! Xiao Hong could never do this to me! Even if she wanted to eat my heart, she couldn't possibly hurt me!"

Jiang Nanxi rubbed her temples. "So annoying, you love-struck idiot. When you get old, I'll sell you health supplements at a high price."

She walked over and kicked the man in the head, knocking him unconscious.

"Nanxi, the dilapidated temple is on fire! I don't know who started it, but the sorceress seems to still be inside!"

Li Chu's voice came through.

Jiang Nanxi looked towards the direction of the dilapidated temple and saw that the outside of the temple was filled with piles of firewood.

A roaring fire blazed on the pile of firewood, and the faint sound of an old woman chanting sutras could be heard coming from the temple.

The scriptures she chanted were still those for the deceased, presumably intended to help the baby girl who had died tragically beneath the dilapidated temple find peace.

Jiang Nanxi thought for a moment, then grabbed a broom and rushed into the burning, dilapidated temple, where she found the old woman.

At this moment, she saw the old woman's face clearly and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

The old woman was radiating a sacred golden light, clearly a great philanthropist who had done many good deeds.

Moreover, he was a great philanthropist for ten lifetimes!
The old woman sensed someone entering, her eyelids twitched, but she still didn't open her eyes, and continued chanting the sutras for salvation.

Jiang Nanxi grabbed the old lady's hand, trying to lead her away, saying, "The fire is getting fiercer and fiercer, the house will collapse soon, let me take you out first."

The old woman forcefully pulled her hand away.
