When the evil energy in Yun Qin’s body started to fluctuate, the Soul Bead in the depths of her consciousness started to become restless. It kept hitting her consciousness that was like a wall, trying to escape.

Yun Qin felt as if there was a living creature in her brain. It kept hitting her brain, trying to escape.

However, Yun Qin was surrounded by ghosts. If she released the Soul Bead, all the ghosts here, who were not on guard, would be absorbed instantly.

No, she could not let it out.

Yun Qin gritted her teeth and tried to control the blue bead in her mind.

Soon, her forehead was covered in sweat.

The spectating hidden ghosts were immediately filled with respect towards her. They did not expect that this human would pay such a huge price to treat their elder.

However, at this moment, Yun Qin felt extreme pain. It was different from before when she was trying to control her mana because when she touched the bead with her consciousness, she was shaken by the immense power contained within, let alone try to control it.

However, she could not stop the evil energy that she was transferring out of her hand. Yun Qin felt that the evil energy in her hand was like a rubber band. If she let go, the Soul Bead in her consciousness would fly out of her body uncontrollably.

Holding back her trembles, Yun Qin once again wrapped the bead with her consciousness, trying to calm it down.

The moment she touched it, Yun Qin felt as if she fell into darkness. There was only a huge eyeball in front of her.

The eyeball’s gaze was intimidating. Yun Qin instinctively wanted to kneel on the ground. However, her subconscious told her that if she surrendered now, she would be just like that person that the elder saw. She would be devoured by the huge force and turned into ashes.

Therefore, Yun Qin forced herself to maintain consciousness and look at the huge eyeball. She was so intimidated that her entire body trembled. She recalled her past life over and over again, trying her best not to show any fear in front of the eyeball.

Song Yin, Song Yin!

My baby, my father, my brother…

After a while, the Soul Bead finally calmed down in her mind. Yun Qin instantly lost her strength and fell to the ground. There were screams all around her. Several furry hidden ghosts surrounded her, and the greedy ghost jumped onto her nervously, looking at her expression.

Yun Qin then realized that she tamed the restless Soul Bead. Looking at the already vigorous hidden ghost elder, Yun Qin was somewhat puzzled.

Why was there more evil energy in her body than before?

“Did you use the power of the Soul Bead just now?”

The recovered hidden ghost elder walked forward and looked at her solemnly.

Yun Qin stared at her hands helplessly, unable to believe what she just experienced.

“This is good, this is good.”

The elder no longer hesitated. He called over his clan, stood in front of Yun Qin, and said, “Thank you”.

Then, a group of furballs bowed towards Yun Qin.

The brown clan leader who came out to see Yun Qin earlier also walked forward. Then, the elder translated, “From now on, you are our friend.”

Yun Qin was still somewhat stunned when she suddenly changed from a “terrorist” whom the hidden ghosts were on guard against to their distinguished guest.

Even the black furball, the greedy ghost, and the zombie worm family enjoyed the same treatment as Yun Qin.

Since their most honorable elder was cured, the hidden ghosts celebrated.

Not only did they bring out fruits that ghosts could consume for Yun Qin and her little ghosts, but they also warmly expressed their hope that Yun Qin would stay with them as if Yun Qin was one of their own.

However, Yun Qin was eager to head home, so she refused.

As such, she prepared to depart. Since this place was suitable for ghosts to survive and the hidden ghost clan could give the greedy ghost and the zombie worm family protection, Yun Qin decided to leave these little ghosts here as well.

When she was about to leave, the black furball and the greedy ghost were very reluctant. The black furball’s small eyes were overflowing with tears.

Yun Qin smiled and gave them departing instructions. She waved her hand at the ghosts as a farewell.

Then, she turned around and walked into the forest.

Humans and ghosts were different after all. If they followed her, not only would they struggle to find sustainable food sources, but she would also have a difficult time taking care of them.

This place was most suitable for them.

After all, wasn’t going through all this trouble to find the hidden ghost clan a way to fulfill Zhang Yuan’s wish and give them a good home?

However, not long after she left, Yun Qin noticed movement behind her.

She looked back in disbelief, but the corners of her mouth subconsciously curved up.

A naked, white, and chubby little guy suddenly pounced into her arms. Yun Qin pretended to complain, “You don’t want to live a good life, do you? You’re ignorant..”
