Chapter 184: Returning to the Human World

Among all the ghostly members of the Lin family, the most twisted and different from ordinary people are the Second Young Lady and the Fifth Young Master of the Lin family.

Lin Qingdai, who used to be innocent and lively, has now completely transformed into a "beautiful snake," with only a human-shaped head, and the rest of her body is entirely a green snake.

Her face is pale and stiff, her eyes lifeless, and there is a sinister smile at the corners of her mouth as she looks towards Chu Jiang.

Lin Xinghe, who used to be somewhat shy and obedient, is now completely unrecognizable in human form.

In his place is a headless ghost with a very tall figure.

This ghost bares its chest and belly, using its breasts as eyes and its belly button as a mouth. Although it doesn’t have a head, there is a blood-stained shackle around its neck.

Its hands are bound by chains, and its ankles are adorned with heavy iron balls.

"A snake-faced human form, a headless being…" Chu Jiang murmured to himself when suddenly he felt a pain on the right side of his neck! It felt like something was drilling out from within.

Chu Jiang turned his head and saw a young boy’s head growing on his neck. The stiff face had a shy smile, and it looked at Chu Jiang, saying, "Brother Chu, can you take me with you? I can help you catch ghosts!"

Chu Jiang extended his left hand expressionless, and with a dark and withered palm, he instantly crushed the head!

Chu Jiang casually cleaned up the remaining flesh at the wound. With incredible speed, his neck quickly healed, as good as new, in less than two breaths.

"Your humanity is overwhelmed by ghostly nature. If you continue like this, it’s dangerous. You will lose all reason and emotion, becoming a ruthless ghost."

Fifth Aunt still had that cold expression. "Do you think we still care about such things?"

The others remained silent, only looking at Chu Jiang with a dead and indifferent expression.

Chu Jiang sighed, "Since you force me to act, I suppose you’re very confident? Then come on, whether it’s life or death, I will stay with you to the end."

Even though Chu Jiang had said this, the Lin family members on the other side didn’t move at all. They just stood there, watching him, as if waiting for something.

Chu Jiang smiled and said, "I thought you all had more confidence. What are you waiting for? Waiting for the old master?"

Chu Jiang walked forward step by step, saying, "Let me guess, Xu Lan, you know the truth because you overheard my conversation with the old lady, right?"

"Clearly, you didn’t hear the whole thing, you only heard half and ran away; and then you gathered the Lin family members and turned them against me."

"But I think you know deep down that the old lady couldn’t have been unaware that you were eavesdropping outside."

"So why did he deliberately allow it?"

"The reasons behind it, you probably know better than me. The old lady also knew that he couldn’t keep it a secret anymore, so he simply used Fifth Aunt’s mouth to let you all know everything."

"So how are you responding to him?"

"You want to protest, but you don’t dare to do it in front of the old lady, so you only dare to stop me, a guest, and try to make me take you all out."

"You guys, it’s simply wishful thinking!"

When it came to the last sentence, Chu Jiang’s tone was downright scolding, but surprisingly, no one could argue back. Lin Mohua looked at him with a mixed expression on her face.

Chu Jiang coldly looked at the crowd, "Come! I’m standing right here. If you’re capable, you can kill me!"

Hearing this, Second Young Lady and Fifth Young Master became restless. Their minds were already fuzzy. They would act however the Lin family acted.

Now, upon hearing the word "kill," their instinct as ghosts started to stir…

Seeing this, the other members of the Lin family had no choice but to appear next to them and hold them down with their hands.

If the Lin family members really dared to lay hands on Chu Jiang, the old master would definitely intervene.

By that time, with the old master’s personality and temperament, there was a real possibility that he would completely suppress their minds and keep them forever in this Lin Ancestral Hall…

Fifth Aunt’s face stiffened. After a moment of silence, she finally mustered up her courage, bypassed Chu Jiang, and slowly walked towards the direction of the inner chamber.

"Old Master! Please come out!"

Fifth Aunt had only taken a few steps when a creaking sound of a door opening came from the darkness. Then, there were the sounds of a cane hitting the ground, as if an elderly person with unsteady steps was walking towards them, leaning on the cane.

Finally, the old man with a wrinkled, solemn, and dignified face appeared before everyone, and the Lin family couldn’t help but bow their heads slightly.

Even Lin Qingdai and Lin Xinghe, one turned into a half-human, half-snake creature, hiding behind their mother; the other quickly returned to their original human form, fingers intertwined, waiting somewhat timidly for the elderly gentleman to approach, like children who had done something wrong.

Chu Jiang witnessed this scene and couldn’t help but marvel at the impression the elderly gentleman had left on them. Just seeing him once had brought back much of the humanity in the Lin family.

As he looked at the Lin family members, including the only one, Xu Lan, who held her head high and defiantly looked at him, the elderly gentleman let out a long sigh.

"I apologize to all of you."

"But this is a family matter for our Lin family. Is this how you treat guests?! Is this how I taught you?"

With a serious tone, the elderly gentleman caused the Lin family members to instinctively make way for Chu Jiang, no longer daring to obstruct him.

Seeing this, the elderly gentleman turned to Chu Jiang and said, "Go on, go on. Let us handle the affairs here ourselves."

Chu Jiang nodded, looking at everyone in the Lin family, who were also looking at him, their expressions full of complexity.

Chu Jiang walked step by step towards the whirlpool, but at that moment, Lin Mohua approached him quickly from behind and asked in a trembling voice, "Will you… Will you come back?"

Chu Jiang paused his footsteps, but he didn’t turn around or respond. He simply took a step forward and left this strange and dazzling Ghost Domain world.

Watching the man’s figure disappear, big tears fell from Lin Mohua’s eyes.

She couldn’t remember how many years it had been since she last cried. It seemed that after becoming an adult, she had never shed tears again because she believed that only weak people would cry.

But now, Lin Mohua’s tears couldn’t stop. She started to regret why she did this, knowing that the other person couldn’t just take her away like that…

The old grandfather sighed again, looking even older.

He turned around and walked back step by step. "Follow me, it’s been a long time since we had a family meeting. This time, I will give you an explanation. Come over…"

The Lin family fell silent. They no longer looked at the gradually disappearing whirlpool, but followed the old grandfather’s footsteps.

Even Lin Mohua, who was standing still, was pulled away by Madam and followed the old grandfather…
