Chapter 1828: Biting the Hand That Was Feeding Her
Ying Su was using the Feng family’s money to increase her strength to deal with the Feng family itself. Ning Shu was really disgusted by Ying Su’s rightful attitude; she was basically biting the hand that was feeding her.
Ning Shu focused her gaze at Ying Su’s soul. She had to find a way to remove the aggressive resentment karma on Ying Su’s soul as soon as possible.
Wasn’t the reason that Ying Su was so reckless solely based on the fact that she could dominate the body for a long time?
Ning Shu wondered if the power of her chant was too low. Else, why didn’t it work on the things haunting Ying Su?
Those things were tightly wound around her. No matter what she did, they refused to dissipate. Ning Shu felt like a foolish man trying to move a mountain.
Forcefully trying to snatch the body from Ying Su would only end up contaminating her own soul. Ning Shu didn’t want her soul to be tainted with these ghosts. If her mind was stained, it would have an impact on her emotions.
If she couldn’t control her emotions, it would hinder her greatly in her tasks.
“Ahem…” 2333’s voice suddenly sounded in Ning Shu’s mind. “Ning Shu, I have a solution. Do you want to hear it?”
“Talk.” Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. This was the first time she saw 2333 so enthusiastic. He was presumably trying to coax her to do some system task so he could perfect her data.
“Karma can be removed with merit.” 2333 said, “But this killer has a lot of karma. It would probably take a lot of merit to offset it.”
Ning Shu was suddenly conflicted. It was really hard to get merit. After all, doing good deeds wasn’t easy, and even if she did them, she would not necessarily get merit.
Was it necessary to use her merit on Ying Su?
Would she remove Ying Su’s karma for her?
This person had already labeled her stupid and weak. Now, was she going to use her own hard-earned merit to eliminate the karma for Ying Su?
Shit. She’d not do this task anymore!
Ning Shu first used some merit to dissipate the blackness sticking to her soul. At once, a string of golden light ran into her soul. The black gas in her body suddenly melted like ice. A moment later, her soul was clean and clear, and her spirit welcomed a long-lost wave of refreshment.
It was really good stuff.
As Ning Shu looked at Ying Su’s soul, her heart was partly torn. She really didn’t want to use the merit on Ying Su.
“My soul is protected by merit, so she shouldn’t be able to attack me, right?” asked Ning Shu.
“Probably not. Those with the protection of great merit, even the gods did not dare touch. But I don’t know how these unconscious residues of resentment will react.” 2333 said, “Besides, the soul pearl is going wild. It probably wants to devour Ying Su’s soul.”
“The soul pearl?” Ning Shu was a little curious. “Why would it want to devour her soul?”
“Well, if I hadn’t suppressed it in time, it would have rushed out. Your and Ying Su’s souls would have been absorbed by the soul pearl.” 2333 said, “Soul pearls like to devour all kinds of souls; those with great merit, those with karma, and those with all sorts of resentful energy.”
“Let’s wait until I occupy the body.” Ning Shu started to seize control over the body.
“Feng Qingqian, why are you acting up again?” Ying Su covered her head. She felt as if it was about to explode. “What exactly are you unsatisfied with? I can just do it for you, alright? Why do you keep haunting me?”
“Miss, what’s wrong?” Pei Lan looked at Ying Su’s painful appearance. At the moment, her eyes were red and her gums were bleeding as she gritted her teeth.
Ning Shu slowly fought to take over the body. Her soul was protected by merit, so Ying Su’s body of black gas had much less impact on her.
“Miss…” Pei Lan shouted. Ning Shu jerked her head up and stared at Pei Lan. The maid was startled by her gaze and asked again, “Miss, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. Put away these things first. There’s no need to sell them. We’ll talk about it after a while.” Ning Shu took a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead.
