Ruan Fuxi's spiritual power leaked out, enveloping the entire villa with an overwhelming pressure. The hidden ghosts, forced by this pressure, all revealed themselves, standing warily opposite her.
As Ruan Fuxi glanced over, she saw various spirits—some headless, some hanging, and others drowned. With a single look, the spirits instantly calmed down, reverting to their appearances in life. They appeared much more pleasant than when she first arrived.
Ruan Fuxi spoke up: "You should have entered the underworld after your deaths, yet you remain trapped here. Whether innocent or guilty of taking a life, I will now guide you to the afterlife."
The row of ghosts initially felt frightened, thinking she intended to capture them. However, upon hearing her words, they relaxed. As long as they weren't facing annihilation, they were willing to leave. It was time for them to go.
Ruan Fuxi clasped her hands together and began to chant softly. A gentle light radiated from around her, growing larger and more brilliant until it enveloped the distant spirits. The bodies of the ghosts caught in the light gradually became transparent before vanishing completely.
Ruan Fuxi's speed in guiding the spirits was remarkable; in just a short while, only she and two remaining ghosts were left in the villa. These were the mother and daughter duo that Zhou Yi and Bai Tong had struggled against the day before.
Ruan Fuxi looked up at them: "Are you two unwilling to be guided?"
The female ghost shielded the small ghost behind her, eyeing Ruan Fuxi warily. This celestial master was far more powerful than the two from yesterday; she could not act recklessly.
Seeing their hesitation, Ruan Fuxi reassured them: "I mean you no harm. I am here today to resolve the issues of this villa. You two have been gone for years; why do you choose to remain here instead of moving on?"
With that, she waved her hand, and a large black iron door appeared in the air, intricately engraved with complex patterns.
The female ghost was taken aback. The celestial master before her could open the ghost gate; her power was undoubtedly beyond what she could withstand. After a moment of contemplation, the female ghost spoke:
"Master, my name is Yu Niang. In my past life, I was a concubine in the household of the local tycoon. However, the main wife did not want to see me favored, so after I became pregnant, she schemed against me, accusing me of infidelity. On the day I gave birth, my husband believed her words and brutally killed my child, then poisoned me with a cup of toxic wine. He discarded both me and my child at a mass grave.
As Ruan Fuxi listened, she said nothing.
Yu Niang's heart was filled with bitterness and hatred; her resentment ran deep, trapping her in this place for many years. Perhaps it was the years of silence that gave her a desire to speak.
Later on, someone built a house here. The first family to move in consisted of seven members. The lady of the house bore three daughters in a row, which displeased her husband and in-laws. Her mother-in-law, having heard some rumor, claimed that having three daughters had robbed her grandson of the chance to be reborn.
Yu Niang's voice began to turn cold.
Neither my child nor I intended to harm this family, but we watched as their three daughters were abused by their grandmother daily. After the grandmother deliberately smothered the youngest child, my daughter became furious.
Ruan Fuxi nodded.
So your child killed her, staining her hands with blood and committing a grave sin.
Yu Niang bitterly nodded in agreement.
Afterward, rumors of hauntings spread from the villa. Many masters came to exorcise spirits; upon seeing my daughter, they shouted for her to be driven away and destroyed. How could I bear to let that happen?
Ruan Fuxi said: You have refused to reincarnate all this time to protect your child.
At that moment, a plea shone in Yu Niang's eyes."
