Chapter 488: The Pure-Clad Dark Heir 38

“Yes, Miss. Let's hurry back! It would be terrible if that vicious ghost came out,” the maid hurriedly said.

“Mm! Let's go back!” Tang Li lowered the curtain, a schadenfreude-filled smile appearing on her face.

If Tang Wan were killed by that vicious ghost, that would be wonderful!

With no legitimate daughter left in the household, perhaps she could be made the legitimate daughter!

……

Just then, Jiang Yuantong also rushed into the black mist.

“Wife! Wife, where are you?” Jiang Yuantong shouted.

Tang Wan couldn't hear his voice at all.

All she could see before her was the wandering soul frantically exchanging blows with Celestial Master Zhang.

But with every exchange, the ferocity within the wandering soul seemed to be stimulated further, making him increasingly violent.

Seeing this, Tang Wan was extremely anxious.

Damn it, the entire plan had gone to hell! What was she supposed to do now?

……

Taking a deep breath, Tang Wan's mind raced.

After a moment, her eyes shifted slightly as she came up with an idea.

“Tongtong, you need to stop!”

“Tongtong! Don't fight anymore!” Tang Wan urged in a weak voice.

At this moment, her body suddenly swayed.

Then, rolling her eyes back and reaching toward the wandering soul in a dramatic gesture, she said weakly, “Tongtong, don't fight~ anymore!”

With that, her body went limp. With her acting skills at their absolute peak, she fainted on the ground and deliberately made her breathing extremely faint.

……

“Host, will this really work?” Little Cutie was quite doubtful.

Still, the host's acting had really gotten better and better. She could faint on command, and there wasn't the slightest hint of anything unnatural.

Tang Wan replied helplessly, “I don't know either. I can only try this as a last resort. We have at least 90 points of affection! He can't possibly just watch me die without reacting, right?”

If he really would, then hmph, she might as well forget about this wandering-soul Tong!

Hearing this, Little Cutie couldn't help nodding. “The host has a point. According to the calculations, there's still an eighty percent chance of success!”

The moment Little Cutie finished speaking, a black whirlwind rushed toward Tang Wan.

……

“Wanwan!”

The wandering soul reached out and picked up Tang Wan's body.

At the same time, the surrounding black mist also dissipated somewhat.

As soon as the black mist thinned, childish Tong's expression changed drastically, and he rushed toward Tang Wan.

“Wife!”

Once he arrived, he shoved the wandering soul away.

“Get away! You're the one who did this to my wife!”

Hearing this, the wandering soul's body twisted slightly.

Seeing this, Celestial Master Zhang tightened his grip on his peachwood sword, not daring to act rashly.

Judging from the current situation, this soul had not completely lost his sanity yet.

……

Just then, Tang Wan weakly opened her eyes halfway, looking frail, pitiful, and helpless.

“Tongtong…” Her voice was as faint as a thread.

“Wife, you're awake? How do you feel?” Jiang Yuantong's eyes were completely red.

At this moment, Celestial Master Zhang immediately stepped forward.

“The yin energy has already invaded the Shizi Consort's internal organs. If the yin energy inside her body isn't removed in time, Shizi Consort… I'm afraid she won't live much longer.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuantong immediately hugged Tang Wan tightly. Then he raised his head and roared at his other soul.

“It's all because of you! It's all because of you! If my wife dies, I'll fight you to the end!”

Seeing this, Tang Wan immediately raised her hand with great difficulty.

“Tongtong, don't cry… I-I'm fine…”

Then she looked toward the wandering soul.

“You… don't blame yourself either… I… don't blame you. Everything… was something I was willing to do…”

The moment these words came out, the wandering soul's expression shook.

“You… you really did this willingly?”

He stared fixedly at Tang Wan's face, his eyes alternating between red and dark.
