The girl led us to the place that Sister had mentioned. 0
 
"Look, it's right here," she said, pointing at a cornfield in front of us. "Masters, see? This is the spot." 0
 
Feng Ju and I glanced over, and indeed, the cornfield was thick with a ghostly aura. 0
 
"Masters, did you notice anything?" The girl asked curiously as we continued to stare at the cornfield. 0
 
"This place definitely has issues, just as your sister said. The ghostly aura here is quite strong," I replied, pointing to the sky above the cornfield. 0
 
Upon hearing this, the girl's expression changed. "Then Masters, you shouldn't go in there." 0
 
Feng Ju and I couldn't help but laugh. "It's fine, it's just a small matter. You should head back now; Feng Ju and I will take a look around here." 0
 
The girl looked at us with concern, her words caught in her throat before she finally left. 0
 
Feng Ju and I continued to gaze at the cornfield. By now, it was getting late; as the moonlight grew brighter, the land became even more suffused with a ghostly aura. 0
 
"Wang Jun, should we go in and take a look?" Feng Ju asked me. 0
 
I glanced up at the sky; it wasn't time yet. Even if we went in, we wouldn't be able to see that ghost child. 0
 
"Let's wait a bit longer." 0
 
Feng Ju nodded and waited with me. As time passed, the moonlight intensified, and the ghostly aura of the cornfield thickened. 0
 
 
“Feng Ju, it's time for us to act,” I said to Feng Ju. 0
 
“Alright,” Feng Ju replied, preparing to enter the Cornfield. I hesitated for a moment and quickly grabbed Feng Ju's arm, feeling a bit helpless. 0
 
“Are you really just going to walk in like that?” I asked Feng Ju. 0
 
Feng Ju paused for a moment and said, “What's wrong with that?” 0
 
“It’s not that it’s wrong, but going in like this will raise suspicions with the Ghost Child, you know?” 0
 
“True, I understand now.” With that, Feng Ju transformed into an ordinary person and raised an eyebrow at me. “How about this? Not bad, right?” 0
 
I looked at Feng Ju's appearance and nodded. It would work, so I concealed myself beside Feng Ju. This way, we could make the Ghost Child feel threatened. 0
 
“Feng Ju, let’s go in. The Ghost Child might already be prepared,” I said to Feng Ju. 0
 
Feng Ju nodded and stepped into the Cornfield. As soon as we entered, we sensed an unsettling aura surrounding us. 0
 
I quietly told Feng Ju, “It's here.” 0
 
Feng Ju's expression turned serious as they cautiously scanned the surroundings. Then they focused their gaze back on me and said, “I understand.” 0
 
No sooner had Feng Ju's voice faded than we heard the sounds of babies crying echoing around us. 0
 
 
It came from the left. 0
 
I shot a glance at Feng Ju, signaling that the Ghost Child had taken the bait and was already in motion. 0
 
After receiving my signal, Feng Ju moved toward the left, and I followed closely behind. With each step we took, the aura around us grew stronger. 0
 
Before long, Feng Ju and I found a baby next to a tombstone. 0
 
Feng Ju glanced at me and approached the baby on the ground, picking it up. At that moment, I felt a chilling breeze blowing from the nearby Tomb, and we could hear the sound of a baby crying. 0
 
“Feng Ju, be careful,” I quietly warned her. 0
 
Feng Ju looked around but forgot about the child in her arms. 0
 
Suddenly, the baby in Feng Ju's embrace transformed into a cloud of black smoke. In just a few seconds, this dark mist burrowed into Feng Ju's abdomen. She froze for a moment before using her celestial power to turn her belly into a cage. 0
 
Once the Ghost Child entered Feng Ju's body, it intended to cause trouble but let out a mournful cry instead. I then saw Feng Ju's stomach rolling uncontrollably. 0
 
“Feng Ju, are you okay?” I rushed over, worry filling my eyes. 0
 
Feng Ju shook her head and said, “I'm fine. Don't worry. Soon, I'll get this Ghost Child out.” 0
 
With that, Feng Ju began channeling the dark energy into her belly, and I watched as her stomach swelled larger and larger. 0
 
 
Suddenly, the Ghost Child inside Feng Ju's belly was expelled by a surge of dark energy, rolling onto the ground. Seizing the moment, I immediately used my celestial energy to subdue the Ghost Child. 0
 
Once bound, the Ghost Child let out a furious scream directed at us, while Feng Ju and I watched calmly. 0
 
"Wang Jun, how should we deal with this Ghost Child?" Feng Ju asked me. 0
 
I replied, "Take it to hell. I remember you have an Evil Spirit down there; just let the Evil Spirit devour it." 0
 
"Please, don't do this to me!" the Ghost Child suddenly pleaded with Feng Ju and me. 0
 
"Hmph, do you really think you have a choice?" Feng Ju said, looking at the Ghost Child. 0
 
"I know I've done many terrible things, but I had my reasons. I had to do it this way to accumulate enough Ghostly Aura. Once I have that, I can find that wicked woman," the Ghost Child said, a sinister glint in its eyes. 0
 
"What wicked woman?" I asked, puzzled by the Ghost Child's words. 0
 
"Wang Jun, don't be fooled by him," Feng Ju warned me. 0
 
"I'm not deceiving you; I wouldn't dare. Please give me a chance. Once I've avenged myself, I'll submit to whatever you decide," the Ghost Child pleaded earnestly. 0
 
Feng Ju fell silent, her expression inscrutable. The Ghost Child then turned its gaze toward me. 0
 
"Speak up; I'll give you one chance," I said to the Ghost Child. 0
 
 
Upon hearing "Ghost Child," his face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed to me several times. I watched him calmly while Feng Ju looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. I turned to Feng Ju and said, "Give him a chance." 0
 
Feng Ju nodded in agreement. 0
 
Then Ghost Child began to speak to me, "I wasn't always like this. I had the chance to be reborn, but three times it was ruined by the same woman." 0
 
His words piqued the curiosity of both me and Feng Ju, prompting us to ask Ghost Child how that happened. 0
 
Suddenly, Ghost Child's expression fell, and he looked distressed as he began to tell us his story. 0
 
His mother was a woman who made a living selling herself. His birth was merely a gamble for her, and his biological father was a notorious playboy who came to take care of his mother's business. 0
 
His mother believed that this playboy genuinely loved her, but what she didn't realize was that he was just playing with her feelings. 0
 
Even after discovering the truth, she continued to secretly get pregnant. However, for some unknown reason, each time she became pregnant shortly after, she would suffer a miscarriage, which is why he ended up like this. 0
 
Upon hearing Ghost Child's story, I found it strange; it seemed impossible. 0
 
How could all her chances be tied to one woman? 0
 
I turned to Feng Ju, who also looked stunned. His eyes were filled with doubt as he asked Ghost Child, "Is what you're saying true?" 0
 
Ghost Child nodded, showing no signs of deception in his eyes, which only deepened Feng Ju's confusion. Looking at Feng Ju, I asked him, "Is it possible that something went wrong in your dealings with the Underworld?" 0
 
 
Upon hearing my words, Feng Ju seemed to recall something and said to me, "Wang Jun, now that you mention it, I think I remember something. Just a moment." 0
 
After a while, I saw a multitude of mirrors appear before us. 0
 
"What is this?" I asked Feng Ju in confusion. 0
 
Feng Ju replied, "This is the Yin-Yang Mirror from the Underworld. It can help us look into the matter of the Ghost Child." 0
 
Upon hearing this, my curiosity grew even stronger, so I urged Feng Ju to check it out quickly. 0
 
Feng Ju nodded and turned to the Ghost Child. "Give me your name and your Birth Date and Time. The first one should be the day you died." 0
 
The Ghost Child nodded in response to Feng Ju's request and provided the information. After receiving it, Feng Ju began searching for the Ghost Child's details in the Yin-Yang Mirror. 0
 
Time passed, yet Feng Ju still had no results, which made me anxious. I urged Feng Ju again, and she turned back to me, saying, "I find it strange; there’s no information about them in the Yin-Yang Mirror." 0
 
Hearing this, I looked at the Ghost Child. "Did you perhaps make a mistake?" 0
 
The Ghost Child shook their head at my question and replied, "No, everything I said is correct." 0
 
At that moment, Feng Ju also heard what the Ghost Child said and nodded before continuing her search. I kept watching Feng Ju; it seemed that many things in this Yin-Yang Mirror were quite difficult to find. 0
