Chapter 61: Bloodline Inheritance |
Doudou continued, “But, I was flying in the sky, so he couldn't catch me…”
Her tone held a hint of pride.
“In that case, what were you afraid of?”
“I was afraid he’d use the Feather Duster to spank my bottom.” Doudou said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“Alright, what happened after that? Did you just run away?”
Shen Siyuan felt that talking to this Little One was truly exhausting.
Although, the way she pouted her lips and gestured with her hands and feet while she talked was indeed very cute.
“No, I remembered what Banner Master Big Brother said, that I’m really powerful now, and I’m also a Fire-breathing Dragon, so I flew down from the sky and breathed fire at him.
He screamed and screamed, then squeezed into the wall and disappeared…”
“Yeah, what else.” Doudou said matter-of-factly once more.
“You said, he was holding a Feather Duster in his hand?” Shen Siyuan asked with a frown.
People come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing; they can’t take anything with them. Even the clothes on their bodies are just a manifestation of their Mental Projection.
To have a companion object after death, well, or a companion-in-death object, is basically impossible. Especially in this world completely devoid of Spiritual Qi, the existence of such a Spiritual Item is fundamentally impossible.
“Yeah.”
“Then what color was the Feather Duster in his hand, and what did it look like exactly?”
Doudou thought for a moment upon hearing this and said, “The feathers on his Feather Duster were all white and fluffy, it looked a little pretty, hehe, I wonder if the old man would let me play with it…”
Shen Siyuan was a little surprised to hear this.
Based on Doudou’s description, it sounded like White Impermanence’s Soul-Summoning Staff. Could it be that Doudou had encountered a Ghost Official?
But that wasn’t right.
According to the old Daoist Qingyun, the gates to the Netherworld were closed, the Netherworld itself was hidden, and there was no longer any Reincarnation. How could a Ghost Official possibly still exist?
“Where did you run into him?” Shen Siyuan asked.
Doudou pondered for a moment, thought about it, and pointed in a direction.
“Over there.” She pointed east.
Thinking it wasn’t right, she then pointed north.
“It should be that way.”
Shen Siyuan: …

“Scared me to death, scared me to death…”
Liu Agong hurried back Home, his Soul trembling from fright.
He had nearly been set alight by that little girl.
Huang Niangmu was currently performing her worship.
This was her mandatory daily routine, once in the morning and once at night.
Younger Sister naturally followed behind her, performing the same worship actions.
As Huang Niangmu’s successor, she still had much to learn.
Although many things seemed useless, since they were part of the Inheritance, one had to learn to be reverent.
Whether they were useful or not, one had to learn them first.
But just as they were halfway through the worship, she saw Liu Agong muttering nonstop, looking completely terrified, as he rushed through the Main Hall and headed inside, seemingly not even noticing the two of them.
It looked like he had gotten quite a scare.
Younger Sister was a little curious and wanted to go in and see what was happening, so she looked up at Huang Niangmu, who was kneeling directly in front of her.
But she saw Huang Niangmu continue her worship, seemingly unconcerned, and just kept going.
Seeing this, Younger Sister could only keep her curiosity bottled up for the time being and continue the worship with her.
But soon, once the set of worship actions was complete, she saw Huang Niangmu suddenly stand up and run towards the Inner Room.
Younger Sister couldn’t help but be stunned.
She had really thought Huang Niangmu was calm and unbothered.
But this was no time to think about such things, so she also hurried in after her.
Upon entering the Inner Room, she saw Liu Agong still looking terrified, with several other old ghosts beside him, comforting and questioning him.
And the Feather Duster Doudou had mentioned was now placed on a table to the side.
Every single one of these ghosts was one of Younger Sister’s ancestors.
This was the Bloodline Inheritance of Younger Sister’s lineage; they could communicate with their ancestors, and through these ancestors, they could exhibit all sorts of incredible abilities.
“What happened? What did you see?” Huang Niangmu asked hurriedly as soon as she entered the room.
“It was that special little girl you all were talking about,” Liu Agong said, still shaken.
“She could scare you like this?”
As she said this, her gaze shifted to the Feather Duster on the side.
With this item, all the ghosts in the world could be commanded by him, yet now he was scared like this by a little girl.
“You don’t understand, you don’t understand, that little girl is terribly powerful…”
As Liu Agong spoke, his very Soul seemed to waver.
“Grandfather, how is she powerful?” Younger Sister asked curiously.
Huang Niangmu and the several ancestors around them were also curious.
So Liu Agong began to recount what had happened that day.
“You told me to go out and ask if anyone had seen any special ghosts, so I went around asking, all the way to West City. It was there I heard from some ghosts that a very special ghost had appeared recently, covered in Blue Flame, and able to fly in the sky…”
“At first, I didn’t believe it.
In all these years, when has such a ghost ever appeared? But many ghosts said so. Some said there was only one, while others said there were two…”
“I was half-believing, half-doubting, so I thought I’d go and confirm it.
I went to the route where she often appeared to see if I could run into her…”
“I didn’t expect my luck to be so good, I actually met her. The little girl was riding a gust of Yin Wind, and she whistled past right over my head, so I immediately chased after her…”
“Control Yin Wind?”
The other old ghosts in the room exclaimed in unison.
Although they could communicate with their descendants, they were just ordinary ghosts. The Incense Offerings they had received over the years were completely useless.
“Yes, Control Yin Wind.” Liu Agong nodded, speaking with great certainty to show he hadn’t misspoken.
“Could it be that the little girl also received an Inheritance or some Fateful Encounter?” an old ghost said hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the “Feather Duster” on the table.
“But how did she manage to scare you like this?” another old ghost asked.
“Third Uncle, you don’t know how powerful that little ghost is.”
Liu Agong continued, “I was chasing the little girl, wanting to ask her a few things. She noticed my presence, suddenly turned around and descended from the sky.
Before she even got close, I felt like I was being burned, a piercing pain all over my body. My Soul felt terrified, as if a great horror was falling from the sky…”
“Then she opened her mouth and spat at me, and a jet of Blue Flame rushed towards my face.
That was even more terrifying. I was almost burned.
It’s a good thing I ran fast…”
Hearing this, everyone once again looked at each other in dismay.
“She’s that powerful?”
“More than powerful, she’s practically our Ghost Bane,” Liu Agong said.
“In that case, are you sure you shook her off? She can Control Yin Wind, you know?” an old ghost asked ominously.
“Didn’t the guests who came last time want us to inquire about the character of the son-in-law who’s about to marry into the family? I’ll go ask around…”
“Society is developing so fast.
I haven’t been out for a walk in a while. I’ll go out for a stroll, broaden my horizons…”
“There are some old friends I haven’t visited in a long time.
I’ll go pay them a visit…”
The old ghosts turned and left one by one. Even Liu Agong picked up the “Feather Duster” from the table, said he was overly frightened and needed to go out to clear his head, and hurried away.
Only the grandmother and granddaughter were left standing in the room, looking at each other, shocked and uncertain.
