Skins without souls integrated into them truly looked terrifying, just like a person forcibly stripped of their flesh and bones, leaving only a layer of shriveled skin.
However, the four were not ordinary people in life after all, so though the skins were terrifying, they weren't enough to frighten them.
Besides, they were dead now, what else was there for them to fear?
Even a dead person with a modicum of dignity wouldn't be scared by a mere skin, much less the four of them, who had witnessed countless horrifying scenes in their lives.
"These four skins were specially custom-made for you, at great expense, from the Underworld. Though they look quite ugly now, once you merge your souls into them, you will discover their wonders."
Hearing this, the four transformed their Spirit Bodies into wisps of Yin Qi and, one after another, merged them into the skins before them.
Influenced by the Yin Qi, the skins immediately inflated like balloons. In just a few breaths, the shriveled, ugly skins transformed into four people.
Yang Haoran snapped his fingers, and Spirit Power condensed, manifesting a mirror before the four of them. The mirror emanated a dense Yin Qi, and though it wasn't a normal mirror, it still served its primary purpose.
Through the mirror before them, the four clearly saw their current appearance. Gazing at their familiar faces and figures in the mirror, for a moment, their emotions stirred with excitement.
"How is it? Are you satisfied? " Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
Coming back to their senses, the four, with expressions of pleasant surprise, hurriedly bowed and thanked Yang Haoran.
Their expressions and reactions made it clear they were extremely pleased with their current skins.
"For various reasons, I cannot directly resurrect you, so I can only allow you to continue living in this world in this manner. With these skins, you can do almost everything living people can, and ordinary people won't be able to tell that you aren't alive."
"Of course, it cannot be denied that even with these skins, there are still differences between you and living people. The biggest difference is that you lack flesh and blood, and these skins won't allow you to grow them, as they are supported by your Yin Qi."
"Though you cannot possess flesh and blood like the living, you possess advantages they do not. Living people experience birth, aging, illness, and death, but you will not. As long as you are not struck by external forces, you can live forever. In a sense, this could be considered a form of immortality."
Pausing there, Yang Haoran paused slightly, and the smile on his face deepened.
The four present, from the moment Yang Haoran began speaking, had stopped admiring their skins, standing respectfully in place, no longer looking at the mirror, but uniformly fixing their gaze on Yang Haoran.
Seeing that Yang Haoran seemed to have more to say, they remained respectful; none of them made a sound at this moment, quietly awaiting Yang Haoran's next words.
These four before him, those who had once been Night Watchers had received special training from Old Master Wu, and those who had been Spirit Police had received special training from that organization. Thus, they possessed strong discipline and were adept at reading expressions.
Seeing all this, Yang Haoran was very satisfied with the four's reactions, and continued speaking with a smile.
"Your former identities no longer matter. Whether you were Night Watchers who followed me, or Spirit Police who followed Captain Luo, I will treat you all equally, without any favoritism. From the day you gave up reincarnation and chose to follow me, you became my people. From now on, what Yang Haoran eats, you will eat; you will never go hungry. As long as you work hard enough, it's not impossible for your strength to rise to the Ghost King realm one day. At that time, you will no longer need these skins, because then you will possess the ability to reshape your physical bodies."
"When that day truly arrives, you will not only have truly resurrected, but also possess terrifying strength. However, that day is still far off, and this road is still long. And you, it is quite possible, might die along the way. Are you afraid?"
Yang Haoran's words were not grand or passionate. His tone was steady, and his face wore a smile, as if he were just chatting with friends.
However, the four's reactions were different from Yang Haoran's. As Yang Haoran's words fell, a resounding reply immediately came from the four.
"No fear!"
Their voices were sharp and resonant. Though only two words, the determination in their hearts could be heard within them.
The four's resounding voices echoed throughout the entire villa. Except for Bai Xue, who was recuperating, everyone else in the villa heard it clearly.
As for why Bai Xue didn't hear such a loud sound, it was because a sound-isolating enchantment had been set up in her room, preventing the sound from entering.
Xiao Kang was in his room, practicing controlling the Spirit Power within his body. Upon hearing the four's resounding voices, he stopped what he was doing and looked towards Yang Haoran's study.
"Uncle Yang is truly mighty!"
Adoration showed in Xiao Kang's eyes, then he withdrew his gaze and resumed his training, exerting himself even more than before.
This time last year, the little fellow was still only thinking of having fun, but this year, his thoughts and actions had both changed.
Xiujuan was showing Ye Zhiqiu around the rooms. Old Master Wu, meanwhile, followed beside Ye Zhiqiu, speaking with a beaming smile, while Ye Zhiqiu listened throughout, seldom responding.
When the four's resounding voices rang out inside the villa, all three stopped in their tracks, their expressions varied.
Xiujuan was curious, Old Master Wu's expression didn't change much, while Ye Zhiqiu's brow furrowed slightly and doubt appeared in his eyes.
Though Xiujuan was very curious, she chose not to ask questions at this moment. Although Yang Haoran had said that Ye Zhiqiu was now one of their own, at this point, she hadn't fully accepted Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu, likewise, had not yet accepted Xiujuan and the others, Yang Haoran included. So, although he felt some doubt, he didn't open his mouth to ask anything.
Neither of them asked questions, and Old Master Wu naturally wouldn't volunteer an explanation. Besides, he didn't understand the matter himself, and even if he wanted to explain it to them, he couldn't.
Inside the study, Yang Haoran looked at the four, nodded with a smile, and then said, "Rest well for the next few days. In a while, I will have tasks for you. Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. If there are people or matters you can't let go of, you may go and deal with them yourselves. As for the Yin Qi emanating from your bodies, I can use methods to temporarily seal it for you, to prevent others from detecting its presence, and also to prevent your Yin Qi from affecting those you wish to see. If you have no such matters to attend to, then stay in the villa, and we'll celebrate the New Year together."
The four now lacked physical bodies, and their abilities were only slightly stronger than ordinary wánglíng, so they had no ability to seal the Yin Qi emanating from themselves.
Yang Haoran's current strength was considerably greater than when he first became an Emissary of Death. Sealing the Yin Qi on the four was not difficult for him. However, this seal was only temporary and would dissipate on its own once its power was exhausted.
When Yang Haoran first became a Night Watcher back then, he had also worried about the Yin Qi emanating from his body. At that time, he had even specifically sought out Wang Yiming about this matter, hoping Wang Yiming could help him find a solution.
However, Wang Yiming's strength was limited and his knowledge was limited, so he had no solution for this matter whatsoever.
At that time, Yang Haoran had also considered finding Deng Feng. He believed that with Deng Feng's strength, he should be able to solve this problem for him, but later, after his parents tragically died, he no longer cared about the Yin Qi on his body.
After becoming an Emissary of Death, his strength greatly increased, and he also obtained some secret arts from Deng Feng's home that only Underworld Officials could use. Therefore, he now had a method to deal with this matter.
However, with his current strength, sealing his own Yin Qi and power fluctuations was simple. As long as his Spirit Power was not depleted, he could keep it sealed indefinitely.
But if it was to seal the Yin Qi or other power fluctuations on other targets, he could only manage a temporary seal, unable to achieve a long-term or permanent seal.
Upon hearing Yang Haoran's words, two of the four remained unchanged in expression, while excitement appeared in the eyes of the other two. Beneath that excited gaze, there was also an unconcealable longing. Night God Under the Moon
