Chapter 1330: Chapter 1324
Upon hearing Xin Lin’s words, Mu Chen’s eyes moved slightly.
"Can you really see ghosts?"
Mu Chen was somewhat skeptical, as that was said to be the legendary Yin Yang Eyes.
Even among Fengdong’s people, few possessed them, let alone Xin Lin.
"Naturally, it’s true."
Xin Lin’s eyes flickered, and her pupils gradually turned a pale golden color.
"This female ghost has some skills, not only swallowing bodies but also souls. She’s a formidable character."
Xin Lin looked around. There were no traces of souls, indicating that the female ghost had consumed the souls of several people.
Indeed, there were no signs of Ghost Energy in the surroundings.
At this point, Mu Chen began to believe a little.
The mercenaries nearby were also listening in astonishment.
This group, with the dandy from Fengdong’s three young masters, and the seemingly youngest girl who could actually see ghosts?
Looking further at the two remarkably attractive women, it’s clear they were skilled as well.
What kind of people were these!
"There’s no time to lose; let’s return to Fengdong first."
Mu Chen pondered aloud.
The issue with the female ghost must be investigated thoroughly, especially since it’s related to the Corpse King.
The group set up a camp nearby, waiting for the female ghost, but she didn’t show up all night.
Needless to say, everyone had a restless night.
During the night, Murong Ziyue couldn’t help but ask Xin Lin.
"Do you really know the Corpse King?"
"Whether I know the Corpse King isn’t important; what’s crucial is rescuing your mother."
Xin Lin was noncommittal.
She hadn’t intended to reveal her ability to see ghosts, but the female ghost was explicitly targeting the Pride Corpse, and she had to uncover what was truly going on.
With the dawn, the female ghost still hadn’t appeared.
The mercenaries hurried to resume their journey in the morning.
"Brother Mu, there’s no use in staying here. We should hurry back to Fengdong and report the situation."
Nolan Zhuyun suggested.
"That’s all we can do."
Mu Chen nodded.
After a while, the Xuan Bird returned.
"We’re near Fengdong, so we won’t need this big creature anymore."
Mu Chen looked at the Xuan Bird and its golden beak with a shiver.
The past few days, the Xuan Bird had become his nightmare.
If it weren’t for the Xuan Bird, would he be called a dandy by the mercenaries?
Mu Chen felt he had utterly lost face!
Back in his domain, he certainly needed to maintain his good image.
Nolan Zhuyun also agreed.
"If you all want to leave, go ahead. Ziyue and I, plus the Xuan Bird, will go together. I’ll take the chance to familiarize myself with the terrain nearby."
Xin Lin said with a sly smile, not saying much else, she hopped onto the Xuan Bird’s back and disappeared in no time.
"Ziyue, you come back with me. You know that in the East Court, birds and beasts aren’t allowed near."
Mu Chen glanced at Murong Ziyue.
"I’m going with Xin Lin."
Murong Ziyue joined Xin Lin on the bird’s back.
The two soon soared away.
"Those two girls!"
Mu Chen gritted his teeth.
"Brother Mu, I feel Ziyue’s personality has changed quite a bit."
Nolan Zhuyun watched Murong Ziyue’s departing figure.
"It’s all because of Xin Lin. She’s the one who led Murong Ziyue astray. I really shouldn’t have let her go to Qingtian Academy."
Mu Chen gritted his teeth.
Murong Ziyue was becoming increasingly rebellious.
"I don’t quite see it that way; I think Ziyue has become much more lively. I remember when I first met her; her father had just died, and many in the East Court bullied her..."
Nolan Zhuyun sighed.
