277: Chapter 275: Ghost Artifact 277: Chapter 275: Ghost Artifact Fang Geyu pulled her clothes together and hastily put them on, calming her fluttering heartbeat and casting a cold glance at him. “Tonight, I intended to sever all your thoughts and desires, but seeing how alert you were just now, and how you grabbed my waist prevented a major mistake, I’ll let you off just for today.” She suddenly felt despicable and detestable. It wasn’t really about that which had angered her. She was just annoyed because he called out that name. She knew it wasn’t his fault, but she was still furious and wanted to vent; if she didn’t personally destroy something, her heart felt suffocated. She couldn’t bring herself to like the side of herself that was like this at all. Suddenly, Fang Geyu felt somewhat afraid. There weren’t many people in this world who liked her; if even she began to dislike herself, how ludicrous it would be. “Fang Geyu, actually I…” “Enough!” Fang Geyu interrupted him sharply, got out of bed to retrieve her longsword, and strode towards the door, “I’ll go kill that female corpse, and I’ll capture the Ghost myself.” Baili An’s face changed rapidly, “You can’t do it alone, I’ll go with you.” Who expected that just as he got up, he turned pale and groaned, collapsing back onto the bed. “No need!” Fang Geyu hadn’t expected that tonight’s events would cause such a twist in their relationship. Awkward. Extremely awkward. Thinking back on her foolish actions and words, she wished she could slap herself hard. She no longer wished to stay in this room because it was filled with his presence. How repulsive, that cold body was not heated because of her. How disgusting, those parched gasps were not restless because of her. So, when he held her, who was he thinking about? Who on earth is Xiaoshuang? Fang Geyu couldn’t understand why she was tangled up in such useless emotions, nor did she understand why she bothered with such trivial matters. Right, she just… disliked being mistaken for someone else. That’s all! At the doorway, she did not look back but still asked the question, “Si Chen, tell me, who exactly is Xiaoshuang?” “I…” “Forget it!” she took a deep breath and said, “Why explain so much to me? I’m not interested in this person anyway.” Her bright red dress, like a light about to extinguish in the night, fluttered slightly and was soon swallowed by the endless night. Baili An pondered in some confusion. Since Fang Geyu said she was uninterested in that person, then naturally, she was not interested. But if that was the case, why did she ask the question? Ah, the heart of a woman is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. The candle with the big red paper flower had burnt down to its end, and the room plunged into darkness. All around was desolate silence, Baili An swallowed the lingering crimson breath in his mouth, opened his pained eyes, and stared at a dust particle floating in the void for a long time. That speck of dust, shining slightly in the dark, was He Sha’s residual ash pushed back by Fang Geyu. His body still trembling slightly, he buried his head in the soft pillow, showing only half of his handsome profile. Desire and thirst in his eyes gradually receded, turning into a deep pool-like calm light. On the couch, he grimaced with pain and tightened his hand slowly, suddenly extending his palm to grasp that speck of light, his expression complex. In the desolate, dilapidated garden, the chilly wind whistled, and the fog was dense. In the wild courtyard, apricot blossoms bloomed profusely, their fragrant aroma barely masking the intense stench of corpses walking about. Initially, Fang Geyu thought these wandering corpses hidden in the garden possessed power similar to that of the female corpse He Sha or some other extraordinary abilities. But she realized she was overthinking it. In this deserted house, there were so many unjustly dead ghosts turned into walking corpses, which were indeed terrifying to ordinary mortals. But in Fang Geyu’s eyes, they were no different from walking clumps of earth. Apparently, only the blind female corpse He Sha was the truly unique being among the victims here. Her strength as a Fierce Ghost was extraordinary, perhaps surpassing even some Fierce Ghosts in the Inner City who had cultivated for a thousand years. Leaving other things aside, just that human-skin drum at the waist of the female corpse could be classified as a Mid-grade Ghost Artifact. In this Mortal World, there are five categories of artifacts: Treasure, Magic Artifact, Spiritual Artifact, Immortal Artifact, and Divine Artifact. Among Ghost Cultivators, those that could be called ghost artifacts are certainly on par with the Immortal Artifacts of humans or Immortals. In the contemporary world, only young disciples from second-tier Cultivation Sects worthy of possessing treasures could use treasures that allowed flying through the empowerment of Spiritual Power. As for those lesser sect cultivators or poor Loose Cultivators, they could only use some weapons blessed with Spirit Talismans. Those entitled to use Magic Artifacts were elder-level figures in smaller sects or disciple of major Immortal Sects. Compared to treasures, Magic Artifacts were more precious and powerful. Unlike the unchanging treasures, Magic Artifacts had a broader range of uses and could also transform into personal ornaments worn on the body, with the Spiritual Power it could carry during activation being ten times that of treasures. Spiritual Artifacts were even rarer, only top-tier forces within the Immortal Sects had the qualifications to own them. Even if you had an extraordinary position within an Immortal Sect, without a good background and resources, it would be impossible to maintain a Spiritual Artifact. Since Immortal Artifacts included the character for “immortal,” they were naturally associated directly with Immortals, and only the leading figures within the Three Sects or reclusive experts and powerhouses had such shocking weapons. As for the class of Divine Artifacts, mortals had yet to witness them because only legendary figures like the Thirteen Swords, Ten Chambers, and Nine Classics deserved such artifacts. A newly dead Fierce Ghost less than a year old could still possess a ghostly power not subject to the cyclical rebirth of souls. This close-fitting human-skin drum was comparable to a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact. Understand that even someone as distinguished and wealthy as Fang Geyu could not easily procure a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact. What secrets did this female corpse He Sha conceal? The longsword in Fang Geyu’s hand buzzed continuously within its sheath, emitting an uneasy, restless sword chant. Even the mindless walking corpses surrounding her exhibited expressions of terror and scurried back into the yin soil to hide. Fang Geyu, expressionless, wiped away the thin line of blood trailing from the corner of her eye, her blood-stained fingers lightly pressed on the sword hilt: “Behave.” The sword’s trembling grew even fiercer, as if it yearned to unsheathe itself. Ahead, under her feet, the trail of Yin Blood left by the female corpse was dark, thick, and under the resonating sword sound, the black patches on the ground stirred into rippling waves.
