Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

"call"

Yun Suyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the woman disappear.

"You scared me to death, Ah Niu! You almost killed us. You're a grown man, why do you have to shout every time you encounter something unclean?"

She complained to the driver.

"Shopkeeper, I was just scared. Didn't you see what that woman looked like? One big ear, what on earth was that?"

The waiter's face turned pale with fright, and he asked with lingering fear.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaiyu became interested. He had some knowledge of evil creatures, but this one was quite special. It seemed to have no sight and no mouth to speak.

Yun Suyan frowned and said:

"You, Ah Niu, already said it's One-Eared, so why ask? It's called One-Eared. This is the first time I've ever seen it. It's an ancient and legendary evil creature."

Legend has it that it was formed from a human soul nurtured by a special environment, making it quite eerie. But how could something so legendary appear here?

Is this really so careless? Just calling it "One Ear" because it only has one ear!

Qin Huaiyu was speechless and not very satisfied with Yun Suyan's description either, which could be summed up in two words.

Hasty!

That's like saying nothing at all; every evil entity needs time to take shape...

"My benefactors! My benefactors! The young lady is truly beautiful and kind-hearted, and this young man is dashing and handsome. You two saved this old Taoist priest; I am truly grateful beyond measure. It's cold; please get out of the carriage and warm yourself by the fire!"

At this moment, the old Taoist priest came up and thanked him profusely, his face streaked with tears, looking truly sincere.

Upon seeing this, Li Chengye, standing behind, blushed instantly, wishing he could disappear into the ground. It was too embarrassing! Old Taoist, you really have no shame!

However, this woman was indeed beautiful, and had a great figure...

He unconsciously swallowed, then looked at Qin Huaiyu. Hmm, quite handsome... but not quite as good-looking as me.

"Snap"

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a blow to the head.

"What are you looking at? How can you be so rude?" Thanks!"

As he spoke, the old Taoist priest pressed his head down.

"............"

Li Chengye, do you have any manners? Don't I have any shame?

...This old Taoist priest?

Qin Huaiyu looked at the somewhat slovenly man, who seemed very ordinary, even a bit sleazy, but this very man gave him a strange feeling that he was not simple.

And the boy beside him, though dressed in shabby clothes, had a handsome appearance and an extraordinary air about him.

"Master, you flatter me. It was nothing more than a small favor!"

Yun, with a plain face, politely got out of the car.

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu also came down from the other side and walked to the old Taoist's side.

"Master, I noticed you didn't make a sound just now, so you must know something about that one-eared creature, right?"

"Brother, it's terribly cold today. Let's go to the fire first, and we'll talk in detail then!"

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he led the group to the fire.

Qin Huaiyu found a place closest to the old Taoist priest and sat down. Yun Suyan sat next to him, and because of her low position, the deep cleavage of her chest was clearly visible.

The old Taoist priest's eyes were practically glued to the screen.

"A young woman's heart is magnanimous!"

"......." Li Chengye, the old rogue, but he's really big.

His gaze was also fixed on the ravines.

Seeing this, Yun Suyan glared at the two of them, embarrassed and annoyed, and quickly pulled her dress up.

"Master, at such a young age, to still possess such manly qualities is truly remarkable!"

Qin Huaiyu sarcastically remarked that no matter what, Yun Suyan was his partner, and he couldn't let others take advantage of her.

"hey-hey......"

The old Taoist priest smiled awkwardly and returned to the main topic:

"Actually, what the girl said is quite right. Prefer fantasy novels? Click to enter your exclusive library! But it's incomplete. This one-eared creature is not only an evil object, but its abilities are also very strange. Because it is formed from a soul and has no physical body, it often possesses people and lives by absorbing their life essence."

"Possession? Isn't that a ghost?" Qin Huaiyu asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's not wrong to call it a ghost, but it's more powerful than a ghost. Ordinary attacks have no effect on it, and even cultivators can't do anything about it if they're not strong enough."

The old Taoist priest paused, glanced at everyone present, and said mysteriously:

"Do you know why we couldn't speak when it came?"

"Legend has it that if you do as it says, you will be devoured!"

Yun Suyan said with a frown.

"otherwise."

The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said, "Because it can speak."

"Language and law?"

"The so-called 'words of law' means that if you respond to it, you will be affected by its spiritual power and experience hallucinations, thereby losing yourself and ultimately being drained of your life force and dying," the old Taoist priest explained.

...With such a bizarre ability, no wonder that one-eared creature always makes you answer!

Qin Huaiyu was still shaken. If Yun Suyan hadn't stopped him, something bad would probably have happened by now.

"Master, is there any way to deal with this evil creature?"

He didn't want to be helpless again next time he encountered the same situation.

"Yes, I have!"

The old Taoist smacked his lips and said:

"There are two methods: one is to defeat it with divine power, and the other is to use a highly yang substance. Even if it has special abilities, it is still an evil spirit that fears yang energy. Just like the perfume powder that the young lady used earlier, it can also restrain it. A man's essence has the strongest yang energy!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Suyan blushed slightly.

But a man's essence is limited...

Qin Huaiyu pursed his lips.

"Master, you seem to know so much about this evil spirit; have you dealt with it before?"
