〖Ding Dong! The system is here to help the host! If He Gu's approach doesn't work, it's recommended to directly retrieve the corpse and shatter the soul.〗

I asked the system in my mind, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

〖Host, don't be angry. It's just to create drama and meet the word count...〗

"Just get lost, thanks."

So, after searching for clues for so long, was I actually going in circles?

Stop playing games with me, okay?

I sighed, "Don't ask anymore. He Gu probably won't be able to figure anything out either."

"What should we do if we don't ask?" Chang An asked.

"Retrieve the corpse, shatter the soul."

"The well in the Wang Mansion is the place where the corpses are stored. If we remove the bell on the well cover, the vengeful spirits will be helpless. Then we can go down the well and retrieve the bones, and crush them." I repeated the words the system told me.

So, we once again arrived at the Wang Mansion.

As soon as we stepped through the gate, horrifying laughter, crying, and wind chime sounds could be heard.

Just as we reached the well, the vengeful spirits in the Wang Mansion appeared.

With their bloodshot and hollow eyes fixed on us, the vengeful spirits moved their necks, making creaking sounds.

My body once again started casting spells uncontrollably: the magical power gathered at my fingertips, and the white stone earring emitted a bright light. Following that, a gigantic blue crane separated from the earring, enveloped in a thin layer of golden light.

The blue crane flew straight towards the vengeful spirits. Chang An and Wen Huai also rushed forward.

Right at that moment, a small figure appeared behind me. Wen Huai noticed it and shouted, "Be careful!" I wasn't aware of the situation. I turned around, but before I could dodge, in an instant, I saw Wen Huai rushing forward and embracing me, avoiding the attack from the little ghost.

We fell to the ground and rolled a couple of times. Our eyes met, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

"M-Master, you... you... you're pressing on me..." Wen Huai blushed like a monkey's butt.

【I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die! Why are you so useless?!】

【Don't stand up in front of the Master!】

【Will the Master think I'm disgusting?】

【Wuwuwu, I feel so sad. I really didn't mean to do this.】

【It's all my fault, I couldn't control myself...】

What an impudent youngster... full of youthful energy...
