Fude Boy!
It was actually them!
In the final instant before the Lucky Baby Vicious Ghost vanished, Jiang Qiao finally caught the source of that vaguely familiar aura.
It really was an old acquaintance.
For a time, he had even kept one of their hands in his own.
"I didn't expect this."
"It was actually this evil spirit."
"So it had already existed this early?"
Jiang Qiao's gaze grew somewhat somber.
Strictly speaking,
the Lucky Baby Vicious Ghost before him was still somewhat different from Fude Boy. Their auras were not completely identical. Or rather, only part of their auras overlapped.
But that part—
because it had been revealed after the Double Happiness Bride severely wounded them, it instead represented their core aura.
"I've heard that—"
"Fude Boy was created by the Green Lotus Sect."
"But judging from the situation now—"
"it seems more like the Green Lotus Sect found a prototype, then refined it based on that prototype, ultimately producing Fude Boy as the finished product."
He had extensive experience and had witnessed many bizarre things. His strength and insight were already at the very peak.
So he did not need to think too much about many matters.
He could reach a judgment very quickly.
The Lucky Baby Vicious Ghost before him should still have been a Vicious Ghost that had only just gained a sliver of self-awareness. But their ability was extremely special, involving the power of "wishes."
They could even fulfill wishes to a certain extent by instinct alone!
That was terrifying.
Making a wish itself required knowledge of the Path of Incense and Fire.
A Vicious Ghost that had only just broken free from instinct and gained a sliver of self-awareness—where had they learned the incense-and-fire method?
Could it have been innate?
What was even more
