The car sped all the way back to A City, arriving close to the afternoon.
The Miasma in Cock Property Management was even thicker than before.
The sky was dim.
At the property management plaza, the Yin-Soul Monster circled the Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul, his face full of agitation.
Black-red resentment swirled around the Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul. Her aura fluctuated between strong and weak, yet she could never break through to the Half-Step Ghost King realm.
"What's going on?"
The Yin-Soul Monster growled irritably:
"The resentment is clearly sufficient. Why can't she advance to Ghost King?"
"Where exactly did things go wrong?"
How could he know that deep within the Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul's heart, there was still a trace of love for Lin Chen?
That love was like a thorn lodged deep within her vengeful soul, preventing her from completely falling into darkness.
Just then, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the complex.
Molly and Luoxi appeared at the gate.
Molly gripped her broken sword and looked coldly at the Yin-Soul Monster.
"Stop wasting your effort!"
"You think you can make her advance to Ghost King with false hatred?"
The Yin-Soul Monster froze when he saw them, then let out a savage laugh.
"Ha ha ha! You actually dared to come back?"
"You overestimate yourselves! Perfect. Now I won't have to look for you!"
He turned toward the Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul and shouted sharply:
"Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul, kill them!"
The Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul slowly raised her head. A flash of red glimmered in her hollow eyes.
With a flicker, she lunged at Molly!
"Stop!"
Molly shouted and explained:
"Xiaoxiao! You've been deceived! Lin Chen never changed his heart. He never stopped loving you!"
Xiaoxiao was the girl's name.
The Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul's body suddenly stiffened.
She slowly turned her head, and a trace of confusion flickered through her hollow eyes.
The Yin-Soul Monster's heart tightened, and he hurriedly urged her:
"Don't listen to her nonsense! She's lying to you!"
"Have you forgotten? It was that scumbag Lin Chen who brought people to ruin you. He made you lose your reputation and die with hatred in your heart!"
The Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul began to tremble, and the resentment around her grew violent.
Clearly, the Yin-Soul Monster's words had stirred up the most painful memories in her heart!
"I'm not lying to you!"
Molly quickly stepped forward, pulled out the letter and draft paper from her pocket, and held them high.
"This is the letter Lin Chen wrote to you before! This is his draft paper! See for yourself!"
She took a deep breath and said loudly:
"Lin Chen had already been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer before he broke up with you!"
"It wasn't that he didn't love you. He didn't want to burden you! He was afraid you would waste your whole life on someone who was about to die!"
"He would rather have you hate him than let you grieve for him!"
"You being raped and the video being released were never Lin Chen's intention!"
Molly's voice grew louder, carrying a penetrating force.
"It was him!"
She pointed at the Yin-Soul Monster, her eyes blazing with fury.
"He controlled Lin Chen's corpse and committed those atrocities!"
"His goal was to drive you into despair and turn you into his puppet!"
"Look!"
Molly held out the letter and draft paper.
"This is the evidence! This is Lin Chen's handwriting. There's no way you wouldn't recognize it!"
The Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul stared fixedly at the letter and draft paper.
The Yin-Soul Monster panicked completely and screamed frantically:
"Fake! It's all fake! Don't believe her! Kill them now!"
He waved his hand, sending a stream of black Miasma toward the Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul. It was the power of the artifact controlling her, trying to force her to attack.
"Ah!!!"
The Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul's body shook violently, as though she were enduring tremendous pain.
Yet she still did not attack. Instead, she stretched out her hand, and an invisible force drew the letter and draft paper into her grasp.
Her fingers brushed over the letter, over the familiar handwriting, over the dried tearstains.
Fragments of memory surged forth like a tide.
In high school, the way he had handed her a love letter with a red face;
In college, the way he had confessed his love beneath the cherry blossoms;
When they were apart, the way he had stayed up late to call her;
When they broke up, the fleeting pain hidden deep in his eyes...
So he had never lied to her.
So he had always loved her.
"Fool..."
The Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul murmured, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from her hollow eyes.
The black-red resentment around her began to dissipate at a visible rate, replaced by a pure white radiance.
Not only did her aura not weaken, it rapidly rose!
"No! Impossible!"
The Yin-Soul Monster shouted in terror:
"How can you advance?! You should have been consumed by resentment!"
How could he know that only after resolving her hatred and letting go of her obsession could the Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul truly break free from her shackles?
The white radiance grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire plaza.
[White-Clothed Ghost King: Level 30]
The Red-Clothed Vengeful Soul—no, she should now be called the White-Clothed Ghost King.
Her figure slowly floated upward. Her red clothes transformed into a spotless white gown, and her hollow eyes became clear and bright.
She looked at Molly and Luoxi, revealing a gentle smile as she gave them a slight bow.
"Thank you."
Then she turned to the Yin-Soul Monster, her gaze icy and killing intent chilling.
The Yin-Soul Monster was frightened out of his wits and turned to flee.
"No!!"
"You can't kill me! You don't dare kill me!"
"I gave you your power! If you kill me, your soul power will collapse, and you'll vanish too!"
The White-Clothed Ghost King remained expressionless. She extended her hand, and an invisible force instantly pierced through the Yin-Soul Monster's body.
The Yin-Soul Monster felt a burst of excruciating pain as his soul was forcibly ripped from his body and exposed to the air.
"Ah—!"
A shrill scream rang through the sky.
With a twitch of the White-Clothed Ghost King's fingertip, white light enveloped the Yin-Soul Monster's soul.
The scream grew quieter and quieter. Finally, the Yin-Soul Monster's soul completely dissipated, leaving not even a trace behind.
After dealing with the Yin-Soul Monster, the White-Clothed Ghost King's body began to turn transparent.
Her obsession had been resolved, and her great vengeance had been avenged. There was no longer any meaning to her existence.
She looked up at the sky, a blissful smile appearing on her lips.
A phantom gradually emerged in the sky.
It was the figure of a young man—her fiancé.
He wore a clean groom's suit, his smile gentle as he extended his hand toward the White-Clothed Ghost King.
The White-Clothed Ghost King reached out as well and took his hand.
They smiled at each other, then bowed gratefully to Molly and Luoxi as their figures gradually faded.
Vaguely, Molly and Luoxi saw them walking hand in hand toward the horizon, their backs gentle and happy.
As they disappeared, the Miasma throughout the entire complex completely dissipated as well.
Sunlight once again fell over Cock Property Management, warm and soft.
"Whew..."
Molly sheathed her sword and stood there, gazing at the clouds on the horizon as she let out a long breath.
Luoxi walked to her side.
"It's over."
Molly nodded, a smile curling her lips.
"Yeah, it's over."
She looked up at the sky, as though she could see the pair walking hand in hand.
May they remain together for a lifetime in their next lives, with no regrets ever again.
May all lovers in the world find their way to each other.
