Chapter 212 Slick Ghost Dissipate

Lilly's curiosity increased as more harem spirits advised her not to ask. She asked curiously, "Why can't

I ask?"

The harem spirit said, "Children shouldn't ask this question." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Lilly questioned, "Why can't children ask? Are adults able to ask? Will you tell me when I grow up?"

As the harem spirit struggled to respond, she coughed, "Ahem, ahem, ahem."

The weak spirit quickly changed the subject by asking, "What happened next?"

The slick ghost stopped talking suddenly. He looked troubled, as though he had just remembered

something unpleasant.

The harem spirit asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did the Heviel Dynasty end after the castration?"

The slick ghost remained silent.

The weakling spirit said in annoyance, "Shut up! Watch your language before the children."

Harem spirit giggled, but she fell silent eventually.

The slick ghost sulked for a while before continuing, "No, I entered the palace smoothly right after the

castration. I was lucky to enter the palace of a former consort."

The slick ghost stated, "My life in the Consort's Palace was not difficult. There were fewer political

quarrels than in the palace of the concubines. All that was needed of me was to take good care of the

former consort.

"The former consort was the deceased emperor's concubine; she was deprived of her freedom and

condemned to live as a widow. So, some of the former consorts were restless. A eunuch that works in

a former consort's living quarters gets to enjoy privilege status."

Initially, the slick ghost simply wanted to live a comfortable life, but as time went on, he grew restless

and devised a plan to become the former consort's lover.

"There were many who wanted to serve the former consort; there were eunuchs who tried to push me

out. So, I lied to the former consort and said it had grown back."

Harem spirit asked, "Really? The former consort bought this lie, right?"

The weakling spirit was perplexed as well, wondering if that organ could regenerate after being

castrated.

Lilly was totally lost. She was utterly confused. Zachary also looked bemused.

The slick ghost explained, "There were many who had to go back to the castration room due to

incomplete castration."

The harem spirit and slick ghost learned something new today.

For the first few days, everything went smoothly. He insisted on having intimate moments in the dark to

ensure the former consort could not see him. Over time, the former consort gradually grew suspicious.

The harem spirit was curious as to whether the former consort's size or texture was what raised

suspicions about them. She hesitated, though, after spotting Lilly.

Slick Ghost went on, "I was afraid that the former consort would discover and kill me. No one would

question an eunuch or palace maid's death in the former consort's harem."

So he made makeshift genitalia out of sheepskin filled with shredded tobacco and wore them to hide

his secret.

The revelation caused the scalps of the harem spirit and the weakling spirit to tingle. This was creepy!

Slick Ghost continued, "I had to fabricate a lie and cover it up with more lies."

He felt the need to make up for certain areas because he was shorter and had a smaller frame than

others.

"My power grew. I begin by killing sheep before moving on to killing people."

All for a piece of skin and to maintain his lie. He selected suitable candidates in the castration room and

then killed them on the spot. After all, a lot of people died during the surgery.

"I had a talent for flattery. The former consort adored me, but the king's attention was drawn to the

growing number of eunuchs dying from castration."

"I rushed to fill the well I had used to conceal the body out of panic. They began to suspect me

nonetheless. I cut off the face of my victim and wore it as a mask to hide my identity. When my face

began to smell, I tried to cover it up with perfume. I explained that I had a pollen allergy when my face

started to rot.

"I hid for seven days, and the king failed to find me, but the well was dug up. The king was furious. He

was enraged when he couldn't find me. He called upon each eunuch and conducted a thorough search

of each. I later assumed the identity of a palace maid working in a consort's palace, but they started to

suspect me again.

"In desperation, I caught a cat and had it scratch my face. After having my face scratched, I still

couldn't escape from the palace. Those who were out to get me were getting more ferocious. Finally,

they searched the consort's palace. Out of desperation, I set a large fire in motion and mercilessly

burned my face and lower body."

The harem spirit and weakling spirit were silent.

This ghost is ruthless—no, he is more than ruthless; he's utterly brutal. Who else could be cold-blooded

enough to set fire to one's own face and body?

After Slick Ghost burned himself, given the limited medical advancements at the time, he eventually

died from severe infections. Despite his crafty escapes, he was eventually apprehended. He had ended

up in a very miserable state, having gained nothing.

Slick Ghost gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would rather die from the

start. Perhaps out of sentiment, the former consort would have shown me mercy."

Years after his death, I wouldn't have to endure endless efforts to plot his escape, exhaustion, torment,

and pain over and over again.

Lilly shook her head and questioned, "Who can you blame this on?"

The sick ghost did not say anything.

"How did you find me?" Lilly questioned it after giving it some thought.

This time, despite his fear of the red bracelet, Slick Ghost responded directly, "You've captured several

malicious spirits; I heard the news that spread around."

The slick ghost was different from other malignant spirits who learned of Lilly's terrifying reputation and

went into hiding. He reasoned that since Lilly was so powerful, she must carry some magical artifact

with her. He had been around for nearly 200 years, from the Heviel Dynasty to the present.

"A hundred years ago, I accidentally acquired a black crystal. It has great power and can mask my

vanity aura, making me invisible to practitioners."

He spent years surviving and grew stronger due to the black crystal. Slick Ghost, however, continued to

make the same mistakes he had in his previous life. He grew increasingly dissatisfied with his present

level of power and turned his attention to Lilly. He lusted after the magical artifact she possessed. He

had no idea that he was dealing with an extraordinary practitioner; she was Hades.

"That's all. You can kill me as you wish, but please don't torture me."

Slick Ghost closed his eyes.

Lilly had fallen into a difficult situation. If the slick ghost didn't attack her, the red bracelet wouldn't

attack him either; the problem was that she could not capture the slick ghost either.

"Jar of souls, jar of souls, can you collect spirits on your own?" Lilly muttered as she held the jar.

The jar of souls remained silent.

Lilly sighed and said, "What a useless jar; you only know how to eat."

The Jar of Souls was speechless. Are you taking advantage of me because I can't talk?

Lilly held the black crystal and examined it for a while, but she did not notice anything different. She

decided to temporarily ignore the slick ghost and turned her attention to the suicidal spirit that stood on

the side.

"Sister, how did you die?" Lilly softly asked.

Zachary followed her gaze and looked at Snowie.

The look in the slick ghost's eyes flickered. He suddenly recalled that when he was beaten by the red

bracelet earlier, it only attacked him when he ran into it.

Could it be that this little girl isn't as formidable as I thought?

Slick Ghost made a quiet effort, secretly resisting the containment spirit net. If he could break free, he

would flee far away. Before escaping, he wanted to ambush Lilly once more by throwing the Suicidal

Spirit at her, just to see if his guess was right!

However, he did not notice that the black crystal held in Lilly's hand was being swallowed and absorbed

by the Jar of Souls.
