The moon hung brightly in the sky.

Lin Qiye sat cross-legged under the bright moon, constantly absorbing the pure power of the stars and moon to resist the erosion of the resentment.

He was still at the riverside where he drowned, unable to get too far away.

According to the description of this world, he currently existed as a water ghost, a spiritual body.

“I am too weak. I must strengthen my soul as soon as possible and get rid of this resentment. Otherwise, if I stay here forever, sooner or later, I will be corroded.”

Lin Qiye’s eyes emitted a silver light, instantly extinguishing the black fog surrounding him.

It was already the seventh time he had destroyed the resentment trying to invade him.

Seven days had passed since he was reincarnated. Every night, new resentment would be born. And as time passed, the resentment would become stronger and stronger.

“Fortunately, I can cultivate the Immortal Consciousness Soul. Otherwise, I might fall to the resentments the next day.”

Lin Qiye’s heart sank. He continued to absorb the heaven and earth energy to strengthen his soul.

At the same time, sparks of fire swayed down the river bank at the upper reaches of the river.

“Yao-er! Yao-er, where are you?”

A woman sobbed as she searched the river.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Yao-er knows how to swim. He’ll be fine!”

“Yes, sister-in-law. Don’t worry. We’ll find him!”

The surrounding youths comforted her. At the same time, they shouted at the rest of the people around them. “Hurry Up! Pick up your speed! We have to look carefully!”

“Yes!”

“Young Master Yao!”

“Young Master Yao!”

Dozens of people were holding torches as they searched the riverbank carefully.

The shouts were heard thousands of meters away, waking Lin Qiye, who was absorbing energy.

“Huh?” Lin Qiye frowned and stopped his cultivation.

“There are people? Why are there so many people running out in the middle of the night?”

It was the first time Lin Qiye had seen a human since he was abandoned that day, and he saw dozens of them at once.

He lowered his head and looked at his translucent body emitting a dim light. He pondered for a moment.

“I don’t know if I will be seen in my current state. It’s better to hide for a while. It’s not convenient for a newly born water ghost to interact with living beings. It would be awkward if an expert saw me and attacked rashly.”

With this thought in mind, Lin Qiye restrained his aura and leaned on a pile of weeds, turning transparent.

“Gulp!”

At this moment, the sound of pouring water suddenly came from the space near the river bank.

Lin Qiye frowned slightly. These days, he had been constantly strengthening his soul, and his mental strength had also improved.

But he did not notice what had caused the sound in the water.

“Splash!” Another wave of water rippled.

Lin Qiye’s heart trembled. From the sound, it was as if some creature had drowned and struggled in the water!

In this life, he drowned and died. He was familiar with the entire process and the feeling.

Looking at the group of villagers searching in his direction, Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before floating toward the river.

“Looks like the target those people are looking for is here.”

The crowd kept shouting a name. It was obvious they were looking for someone.

Although it had nothing to do with Lin Qiye, it was still a life. Moreover, he had drowned here. He felt some sympathy for people who had similar experiences.

“Gulp!”

The sounds of struggling in the water gradually disappeared, replaced by bubbling bubbles.

“Not good!”

Lin Qiye flashed and quickly appeared in the direction of the sound.

Although the sky was dark, with the advantage of mental strength and being a ghost, his vision was not affected.

“Splash!”

He dived into the water and reached out his hand to grab a big arm.

Of course, the arm was only big when compared to him.

Lin Qiye suddenly exerted force and rushed out of the water with a human in his hand.

When he had thrown the person to the shore, he finally saw that the person he had saved was a youth with a tender face.

He appeared to be about ten years old, but when Lin Qiye looked down again, he realized that the youth’s body was in a strange proportion.

The boy’s lower body was pitch-black, about twice the size of his torso.

“This…” Lin Qiye had a puzzled look on his face.

He went forward to take a closer look and realized he had saved more than one person.

Beneath the youth, there was a pitch-black figure. He held tightly onto the boy’s calf and curled into a ball.

He seemed to have some consciousness and could not help but tremble.

Lin Qiye shook his head. “Two little br*ts. They can still come out in the middle of the night and drown…”

In his opinion, these were two naughty children who had sneaked out in the middle of the night to play.

He floated to the front and prepared to separate the two children.

However, just as he grabbed onto the arm of the black figure beneath the boy, it suddenly turned its head.

A swollen and rotten face was instantly exposed before him without any concealment. A pair of crimson and venomous eyes glared at Lin Qiye.

One of the eyeballs seemed to have been too hard on him as it rolled down the rotten face.

“F*ck! Who are you glaring at? Get lost!”

Lin Qiye snarled. “F *ck, I’m also a water ghost now. Who are you trying to scare?”

Lin Qiye had anger in his heart. He started to inspect the figure with a terrifying face not far away.
