After Yun Qin pinched Mrs. Liu to help her regain her consciousness, she pretended to stretch out her hand and read an incantation, “Summon the heavenly lord of Taiyi salvation decree!”

In reality, she stretched out her hand to suck the evil energy from the water ghost.

Such a ghost, which could only manifest at night, could not resist Yun Qin’s power at all. Seeing that the evil energy was draining from the fat man, Yun Qin only wanted to get rid of the ghost as soon as possible because its appearance was disgusting. However, she heard this rotten lump of flesh make a blurry sound, “sea…”

Water ghosts usually didn’t have any intelligence, all they knew to do was to strangle passers-by and drown them in exchange for their lives. But this water ghost could talk?

Yun Qin’s stopped absorbing his evil energy. She pushed the greedy ghost in her arms, indicating for it to come closer and listen to what was going on.

The greedy ghost covered its nose and jumped near the water ghost, making exaggerated listening movements.

However, she heard the water ghost say intermittently, “Sea, sea…”

He was talking about the sea? Could it be that he wanted to go to the sea?

“What sea?”

This water ghost could speak. It was obvious that it wanted to accomplish something. She knew this feeling very well, so she was sympathetic.

However, it was difficult to understand this ghost whose mouth was swollen into a rotten sausage. Yun Qin felt helpless.

Just as she was confused, the greedy ghost suddenly began to gesture.

Its forte was imitation. At this moment, it was hugging its arms and swaying rhythmically. Then, it curled up into a ball and kicked with its hands and feet.

“Swimming?”

Seeing that Yun Qin was still clueless, the greedy ghost had an idea. It opened its mouth and made a sound like a baby crying.

Yun Qin finally understood what the two ghosts were trying to say. She came to a sudden realization and said, “You’re trying to say ‘child’?”

When the water ghost heard this word, he immediately became excited. In an instant, he squeezed out more pus from his body and the stench assailed her nostrils.

“Don’t move, don’t move.”

Yun Qin really couldn’t stand this smell. She used a small spell to seal her sense of smell.

Perhaps he knew that he could not fight back anymore, the water ghost moved his bloated body and knelt in front of Yun Qin.

It repeated slowly and with great difficulty, “Child, child.”

It always has been mothers looking for children. It was rare for a male ghost to look for children.

Yun Qin sighed and said to it, “You can look for your child, but you have to pay the price.”

After saying that, the water ghost immediately nodded and knelt on the ground, as if it wanted to bow to Yun Qin.

“Ka Ka!”

The greedy ghost couldn’t take it anymore. It screamed sharply, reminding the water ghost to sign a contract with Yun Qin.

“Alright, you can go back.”

Yun Qin waved her hand and the water ghost returned to the gold watch.

Looking at Mrs. Liu, who was still in a daze, Yun Qin waved at her and said, “Lend me your watch. I’ll return it to you later.”

Then, she sucked out all the remaining black gas from the room and walked to Mr. Liu’s bed. She saw the purplish-black marks around his neck and sucked out everything that was attached to it. Afterward, Yun Qin said, “There are no more problems. He just needs to rest for a few days.”

As if she thought of something, Yun Qin turned her head and said, “By the way, bask in the sun more. I’m going to deal with this guy. See you later.”

Mrs. Liu stared at Yun Qin with her mouth agape. She walked out of the room with the gold watch and a strange-looking creature.

After activating her ability, Yun Qin sensed that the water ghost’s wish was actually by the river.

After she brought the two ghosts to the area that her ability sensed, the water ghost took the initiative and walked into the water. Then, his body gradually became thinner and discharged all the pus into the water. After a moment, his appearance returned to normal and he looked like a human.

Yun Qin pointed the way for him. “Over there.”

The water ghost expressionlessly walked toward the deep end of the water upstream. The water flowed past his waist, chest, stomach, neck, and head.

After a while, the water ghost appeared again from the water. At this time, he completely looked like a normal person. He was in his thirties, wearing casual clothes, a gold watch on his hand, and had a clean hairstyle. He was a middle-aged man with delicate features.

However, the only thing out of place was the small skeleton that he held in his arms. He lowered his head to look at this skeleton that was decaying and his expression was puzzled.

“Let me show you,” Yun Qin sighed.
