Chapter 386 - If I Want You to Live Then You will Live

After giving the painting spirit a stern talking-to, Jiang Hao withdrew his Confucian and Taoist aura.

Jiang's father, with a hint of disbelief, eyed the scroll in Jiang Hao's hands and asked tentatively,

“Hao Hao, is she pleading for mercy?”

Jiang Hao nodded affirmatively.

Despite his reluctance to accept it, Jiang's father couldn't deny the reality before him—he had to believe it.

Just then, the frail voice spoke up again.

“Sir, please release me!”

“I am the spirit of this painting, newly born and curious about the outside world, which is why I ventured out last night to explore!”

“I was returning when I got trapped by Sir's calligraphy, and that's when I was discovered by someone else.”

“I never intended to harm anyone. I truly didn't!”

“Sir, I beg for your mercy!”

The scroll trembled incessantly.

Jiang Hao furrowed his brow and rebuked sharply,

“Silence!”

The painting spirit, being a ghost within the painting, was naturally subdued by the scholarly energy!

“Dad, let's head home first.”

Jiang Hao and his father shared a similar disposition; they were more responsive to gentleness than to force.

The painting spirit's continuous pleas tugged at their hearts.

Yet, they were cautious not to take the spirit's words at face value.

Still, Jiang's father observed that the spirit was indeed powerless in Jiang Hao's grip.

Indeed, just as Jiang Hao had stated,

The fate of the painting spirit hung on Jiang Hao's very thoughts.

With reassurance, Jiang's father relaxed and drove towards home.

“System, bind the Portrait of Ladies!”

“Affirmative, host!”

“Ding... Portrait of Ladies successfully bound!”

In an instant, the Portrait of Ladies was absorbed into the System Space!

“System, display my personal panel!”

Jiang Hao couldn't contain his joy upon seeing the Weapon Panel on the System Panel, now bound to the Painting Spirit.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Jiang's father watched in disbelief as the scroll vanished from Jiang Hao's hands.

Even though Jiang Hao had shared much with him, the sight still left him utterly astounded.

It was a feat akin to the works of an Immortal God!

What he didn't realize was that, for now, this ability was a special privilege reserved for Jiang Hao alone. Other martial cultivators did not possess such capabilities!

And it wasn't until later that he discovered not all martial cultivators were as formidable as Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao was truly in a league of his own!
