Chapter 206 You're Quite Defiant for a Little Grudge!
Rooster Cry Temple!
It's a thriving Taoist temple located outside the suburb of Magic Capital, teeming with countless tourists every day. It's said that whether one prays for academic success or for a romantic relationship, the temple is incredibly efficacious, making it the first choice for Magic Capital's residents looking to offer incense!
A middle-aged Daoist, dressed in plain clothes with his hair fastened by a peach wood hairpin, was softly sweeping fallen leaves at the door.
When he saw Song Yun approaching, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He performed a Daoist salute and blocked Song Yun's path, "Has the benefactor encountered some kind of disaster?"
"Ding! Host detected at Rooster Cry Temple in the outskirts of Magic Capital, would you like to check in?"
Here it comes here it comes here it comes!
The system does not deceive me!
"Check in!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in, you have been rewarded with a top-tier Daoist technique!"
Long-lost memories surged into his mind once more, memories of numerous Daoists and the study of Daoist techniques instantly filled his brain.
"Benefactor?"
When Song Yun looked at the Daoist, he noticed that the other's eyes were bright and his vital energy robust. The memories in his mind told him that this Daoist had definitely touched the threshold of that profound and ineffable level!
And the middle-aged Daoist's expression changed as well; in his observation, Song Yun underwent a drastic transformation, as if enlightenment had poured into him!
This familiar feeling simply couldn't be faked!
The young man before him was a fellow practitioner!
"Fellow Daoist, greetings!"
The middle-aged Daoist asked, "May I know what brings the fellow Daoist here?"
"My friend has been implanted with a second soul by an evil sect, and I've come especially to seek help."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Daoist stood frozen, his eyebrows knitted together, his eyes full of rising anger, "Evil and crooked paths are not to be feared! Does the fellow Daoist need the assistance of Rooster Cry Temple?"
"Do you have a solution?"
"Yes! Firstly, one can forcibly expel the second soul, but there's a risk that your friend's original body might be injured, leading to a vegetative state. Secondly, fulfill the wishes that the second soul had in life, thereby elevating it to salvation!"
"..."
Damn it, that's as good as saying nothing!
"Thank you for the guidance, fellow Daoist. I already have a solution, and in these urgent circumstances, we shall drink and be merry together another time."
Having received what he came for, Song Yun bid farewell and drove for over an hour to return to the hospital.
He pushed open the ward door, and the two security personnel looked at Song Yun with great alarm.
"Boss! Huang... Huang Bro, he..."
With a pained groan, Huang Baoding said, and Song Yun hastily untied the ropes.
Rubbing his wrists that were chafed and turning blue from the ropes, Bao Ding weakly said, "Boss, if it hadn't been for you this time, I fear I would've been lost in the darkness..."
He then recounted to Song Yun all that he had dreamt, a nightmarish recollection that caused his pupils to dilate and his chest to heave uncontrollably as he spoke of it again.
"Don't worry, I've sealed her. As long as it's not undone, there won't be any issues,"
Song Yun reassured him.
"Boss... the entity inside me said she's immortal. If her wishes aren't fulfilled, she'd rather self-destruct than let me live..."
"???"
You sure have some nerve, little grudge!
Was the Spiritual Official Mantra not exciting enough for you, and you want something more thrilling?
"Maybe you should have a talk with her?"
"Hmm,"
Song Yun resumed the mantra, releasing the seal, and immediately Huang Baoding's demeanor changed. Caressing the hair by his ear, he said, "I had no idea someone so accomplished was among us, my apologies for the intrusion~"
"Speak your piece!"
"Don't you want to know who sent me?"
"It's just those hidden family clans, right? Tell me something interesting."
Huang Baoding was shocked; she had thought Song Yun was clueless and she could deceive him, but he knew everything!
"You'd better not lie to me, or the methods I use next will certainly become your nightmare!"
With her arms crossed over her chest, Bao Ding looked pitifully at Song Yun and said, "I dare not deceive anyone. Indeed, it was the hidden families that sent me here, initially wanting me to possess you to control all your worldly wealth and status."
"But then I discovered I couldn't enter your body at all; there seemed to be an invisible membrane keeping me out, so I had no choice but to occupy this big man's body."
A membrane?
The first thing Song Yun thought of was whether it could be the system inside his body. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!
The system must be amazing not to let its host become someone else's puppet!
If it weren't for the system, he probably would've become a puppet by now!
Thank you, System Dad!
"Who are you, exactly?"
"I am merely a wisp of a soul from over a hundred years ago, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation and thus enslaved by the hidden families to harm others..."
"How can you leave my friend's body?"
"Well..." Huang Baoding's eyes flickered before she continued, "It's not entirely impossible. I need to fulfill my last wishes in the mortal world. Once completed, I can be liberated into the cycle of reincarnation, and naturally, I will disappear from your friend's body~"
