Listening to the "woman's" voice, Zhang Feng's expression changed.

Is this a vengeful ghost?

Why does this ghost apologize to people before harming them?

And still do terrifying things to me...

You've done terrifying things, and you still apologize to me?

If apologies worked, why would we Daoists be needed?

However, it was precisely for this reason that Zhang Feng suddenly felt that this "woman" in front of him was completely different from the vengeful spirits he had dealt with before his journey.

As such, seeing that this "woman" had already stood up, Zhang Feng directly spoke:

"What... is your name?"

Suddenly, just as Zhang Feng voiced his question.

The "woman" who stood up suddenly froze in place.

Then, her body began to tremble lightly.

Over time, the frequency of shaking grew more intense!

Even her once pale face turned a shade lighter, and her pupils began to dilate.

Gradually, her expression even took on a hint of ferocity.

Witnessing this scene, Zhang Feng took a deep breath.

Slowly, he once again hid his right hand behind his back.

Ready to unleash a Palm Thunder the moment this "woman" erupted!

However, the mutation Zhang Feng worried about did not occur.

The "woman" in front of him, amidst her trembling, began to sob:

"Sob...sob..."

"My name..."

"It's been... it's been so many years since someone asked my name..."

"Twenty years... twenty years..."

Zhang Feng was certain the "woman" was crying, but no tears were shed.

The reason was simple: the "woman" was a corpse!

Twenty years...

The woman in front, despite her actions and demeanor, carried a mature charm.

But that delicate face looked no more than twenty-one or twenty-two at most.

However, Zhang Feng understood.

This twenty-year period surely referred to the years that the vengeful ghost had possessed this corpse.

Yet Zhang Feng could at least confirm that this ghost existed at least twenty years ago.

How many people has this ghost harmed over twenty years?

Zhang Feng felt that if he truly removed her, the spiritual qi he'd receive in return would be unprecedented!

He had already prepared to eliminate this ghost at any moment.

But before removing this ghost, Zhang Feng had questions that needed answers.

Such as, what was her connection to Lv Dong?

And why did she kill Xu Yizhong seven years ago?

The "woman" gradually stopped her sobbing, took a slight breath, looked at Zhang Feng, and a visible expression of gratitude appeared on her face before she managed a smile:

"My name is... Ma Xiaotong..."

The moment she said her name, the "woman" seemed on the verge of breaking into tears again.

But she managed to control herself and slowly said to Zhang Feng:

"Thank you..."

"Thank you for letting me say my name again..."

"Thank you..."

"I... I've decided to let you go, I won't do anything horrible to you anymore, I just hope... you... you can remember me."

Hmm?

Hearing Ma Xiaotong's words, Zhang Feng was momentarily stunned.

Let me go?

What does that mean?

Just because I asked her name, this ghost decided not to harm me?

That can't be right...

This behavior doesn't fit a ghost's character...

Zhang Feng is an expert in this field!

In this world, apart from the ghost itself, Zhang Feng knows ghosts the best.

But he had never encountered a situation like this before.

Curiosity welled up in Zhang Feng's heart as he asked Ma Xiaotong:

"Can you... tell me your story?"

"My... story..." Ma Xiaotong's voice began to tremble intensely.

If the body weren't a "corpse," two streams of tears might be flowing from her eyes.

Soon, Ma Xiaotong smiled.

Ma Xiaotong's smile gave Zhang Feng a warm, gentle feeling.

So tender, so charming, yet it brought Zhang Feng a sense of sorrow.

Ma Xiaotong looked at Zhang Feng, and step by step, she came closer, sitting right next to him.

The cold aura surrounding her almost made Zhang Feng start to shiver.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng's Supreme Yang and Firm nature allowed him to endure it.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotong turned to Zhang Feng, her eyes filled with extreme tenderness and, more than that, gratitude.

She truly began to narrate her story, starting with her origins.

Almost making Zhang Feng want to say: "Why don't you start with Pangu's creation of the heavens?"

But considering that the ghost beside him had at least twenty years of cultivation, the respect had to be maintained.

This Ma Xiaotong was born in the 1980s in a harmonious family of three.

She rambled on about her childhood, until the day she received her university admission letter, she was very happy.

But just as Ma Xiaotong was recounting this part.

Zhang Feng clearly felt Ma Xiaotong's aura suddenly become violent.

Zhang Feng knew the crucial part was coming!

Ma Xiaotong's voice no longer sounded gentle, but rather icy and hoarse:

"I received my university admission letter... my parents were so happy, they wanted to make a feast for me as a reward...it was the first time in my life I got to eat delicious fish when it wasn't a new year..."

"I volunteered to buy the fish; the vendor was a man who looked very kind..."

The fish vendor?!

Upon hearing this keyword, Zhang Feng's gaze narrowed slightly, and he instinctively asked:

"D City?"

Ma Xiaotong paused slightly: "That's my hometown!"

Cheng Bing's name instantly appeared in Zhang Feng's mind!!

Officer Ma's list of missing girls!

Shen Xing'Er from this year, then five years ago, ten years ago, and fifteen years ago.

Though there were only so many, Ma Xiaotong mentioned twenty years ago?!

The five-year gap between each person inevitably led Zhang Feng to make connections!

So he immediately asked:

"Your birth date is..."

Ma Xiaotong froze for a moment, her gaze on Zhang Feng changed slightly, but she still reported a date.

Zhang Feng quickly calculated with his fingers, but soon, his brows furrowed:

"That can't be right... this date doesn't match..."

Indeed, Zhang Feng had calculated for those previously missing girls.

They were all born on yin years, yin months, and yin days.

Used as cauldrons for the Evil Cultivator's cultivation.

But the date Ma Xiaotong provided didn't match these conditions.

But just as Zhang Feng was puzzled:

"Hahahahaha..."

Ma Xiaotong suddenly let out an eerie laugh.

As the laughter spread, Zhang Feng felt the temperature around him plummet once more.

"He also said the same thing..."

He?

Zhang Feng was stunned.

"Hahahahaha..." Ma Xiaotong's laughter even had a hint of madness:

"The bastard who brought me to this state and ruined my life, said the same thing!!!"

"Hahahahaha sob sob..." Now Ma Xiaotong seemed to be both laughing and crying:

"My ID card... was altered... to enter university early, I adjusted my birth year forward by one year, back then, I was only seventeen... I was only seventeen..."

Zhang Feng was immediately taken aback.

If the date was pushed back by one more year...

That would indeed be a yin year!!!

Could it truly be that Evil Cultivator?!

This situation teaches us one thing, it's best not to alter your birth date rashly...
