Chapter 586 Is It Too Fast?
Chapter 586 Is it too fast?
Just as Lachlan hesitated and refused to make a move against these Yin cards, the impatient voice of Dragon Ancestor's Soul rang out. It even seemed like it wanted to break free from Lachlan's body and devour these little ghosts on its own.
However, it was still weak for now, and it was still residing in his soul. With a thought, Lachlan immediately suppressed its momentum.
"What are you waiting for?" Dragon Ancestor's Soul asked. "Don't you want to save your wife? Letting that evil spirit reside in her body will soon consume and merge with her soul."
"When that happens, you'll regret it!"
"Don't you know that your wife fell prey to that evil spirit because of you?"
Hearing this, Lachlan's eyes suddenly flickered with guilt and heartache. Yes! If he hadn't faced Vanaro head-on, how could Miranda have let that strange spirit merge into her body? She could sacrifice everything for him!
What was he holding back for Miranda?
For Miranda's sake, what sins couldn't he bear?
Thinking about this made Lachlan curse himself fiercely inwardly. He felt like his hesitation and concern were simply unforgivable towards Miranda.
"I'm sorry kids!" He said aloud. "You're trapped in these Yin cards forever without being able to reincarnate! Let me release you."
Finally, his eyes became sharp and determined.
Lachlan finally convinced himself and reached out his hand. A black mist emerged from the stack of Yin cards in front of him. The mist rose into the air and converged into a twisted ghostly figure. The figure looked ghastly, with a piercing cry of a child filled with resentment.
Lachlan gazed at the ghostly figure, shaking his head with a sense of pity. "Even in death, you poor little ghosts are still being controlled by others. Let me help you find release!"
A powerful attraction emanated from the palm of Lachlan's hand, gradually drawing the ghostly figure closer. At first, it struggled, but it grew weaker and weaker, seemingly sensing the helplessness and compassion in Lachlan's emotions. Its struggle gradually subsided.
Finally, as if resigned, it allowed Lachlan to absorb it.
"Roar!"
After Dragon Ancestor's Soul absorbed these souls, it let out a euphoric dragon chant. In the next moment, Lachlan felt a tremor in his mind, followed by a dragon-shaped phantom that only he could see appearing before him.
The dragon phantom was crimson with five claws and had one yin eye and one yang eye, giving it a somewhat eerie appearance.
At this moment, the yin and yang eyes looked at Lachlan with a hint of satisfaction.
"Not bad, kid! I finally have a bit of power!" Dragon Ancestor's Soul said.
Lachlan's expression changed. Since obtaining the jade pendant inheritance, the Dragon Ancestor's soul had always resided within him, but this was the first time Lachlan saw its true form.
Lachlan had always enjoyed reading mythological stories and couldn't help but feel that the Dragon Ancestor resembled the legendary Jambin Dragon, although there were some differences compared to the descriptions in ancient texts. However, the yin and yang eyes were unique.
"Dragon Ancestor, how do you feel now? Are you confident in dealing with the evil spirit in my wife's body?" Lachlan communicated through his thoughts.
"Hmph, enough about your wife! Shut up about your wife!" Dragon Ancestor's Soul rebuked. "I am your ancestor. I asked you to help me restore my soul, but you've been negligent. If it weren't for me mentioning helping your wife, you probably wouldn't have absorbed those souls."
Lachlan raised an eyebrow. "How could that be?"
"Hmph!" Dragon Ancestor's Soul snorted, seemingly unwilling to argue with Lachlan for the time being. Its mouth opened and closed as it said, "With my current abilities, there should be no problem dealing with the evil spirit in your wife's body. Rest assured!"
With that, its tone turned serious.
"Kid, I know you're wary of me, afraid. that one day I'll turn against you. No matter how many promises I make, you probably won't believe them. But I'll tell you one thing, helping me become stronger will also greatly benefit you."
After speaking, the dragon phantom wriggled a few times and then disappeared into Lachlan's body once again, without any further movement. It seemed to be digesting the energy of those souls.
Lachlan muttered to himself in his
heart. Dragon Ancestor's Soul becoming stronger would indeed benefit him. Just the fact that it helped him condense the Sword Spirit proved that. However, this didn't prevent Lachlan from being cautious of it.
That evening, in a local hotel, Stephanie and the middle-aged bodyguard treated Lachlan to a meal, expressing their sincere gratitude. This encounter completely reversed their attitudes towards Lachlan.
Especially the middle-aged
bodyguard no longer held any
hostility or disdain towards Lachlan.
If it weren't for Lachlan, the two of them would have fallen into the hands of the Ghost Plaque Sect, and the outcome would have been unimaginable. Especially Stephanie, she would have been used as nourishment for the Ghost Tree and sucked dry.
"Lachlan, I can never repay you for saving our lives!"
"I... I'll toast to you."
Stephanie, who never drank alcohol, filled a glass and emptied it in one gulp.
The middle-aged bodyguard also raised his glass and said, "Mr. Willis, I apologize for my disrespect earlier."
Lachlan waved his hand. "No need for that. I was originally going to destroy the Ghost Plaque Sect, saving you was just an incidental matter."
Hearing this, Stephanie couldn't help but think of Lachlan's invincible scene in the Ghost Plaque Sect, and a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes. Her admiration was evident.
She secretly glanced at Lachlan, and her heart couldn't help but flutter.
"Lachlan, you saved my life and Jenson's life. I don't know how to repay you."
"There's 20 million in this card, keep it."
Stephanie said, taking out a card and pushing it in front of Lachlan.
Lachlan waved his hand. "No need, you're too kind! It was just a small effort, really. Besides, I don't lack money, hehe..."
"Ah?"
Stephanie's expression showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing this.
At that moment, Lachlan's expression changed, and he tentatively said, "Stephanie, if you really want to show your gratitude, how about I come to your place sometime? I don't know if it's convenient or not?"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Stephanie was momentarily stunned, and an unexplained blush appeared on her beautiful face.
The middle-aged bodyguard also looked at Lachlan with a strange expression.
"Lachlan, we just met, and you want to come to my house directly?"
"Isn't it a bit... too fast?"
Stephanie blushed and pursed her lips, asking shyly.
Unable to repay the debt of saving her life, and Lachlan didn't want money...
By saying this now, does it mean he wants her to offer herself?
For a moment, Stephanie felt flustered and didn't know how to respond...Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
