Chapter 5257 Humans And Ghosts Take Different Paths

Published Mar 16, 2026, 06:22 PM

Duanmu Yu was shocked again, but he still couldn't find any trace of Lin Yi. He looked like he had seen a ghost and looked at Fei Yangsheng,"Where is he?" "I don't know ..." Health-maintenance Fei said with a bitter face. He had the same reaction when he first heard Lin Yi's voice, but he was scared stiff by the surrounding spirit beasts, so he didn't show it on his face. Otherwise, he'd be exposed. "Then ... This is ..." Duanmu Yu didn't know what to say. Lin Yi's image in her heart was mysterious, but it didn't go to this extent. He only heard his voice but didn't see him. What the hell was this? Senior Sister apprentice Duanmu, do you think it's a ghost's manifestation?" Health-maintenance Fei suddenly said mysteriously. "A ghost?" Duanmu Yu was startled upon hearing this. However, he immediately revealed an expression of disapproval. The theory of deities and ghosts had a much greater market in the cultivation world than in the secular world. Although many people did not buy it, there were even more people who believed in it. In particular, many things were half-true and half-false. Even the most powerful and authoritative big shots could not give a reason for it. This further confirmed the possibility of the theory of deities and ghosts. Of course, Duanmu Yu did not believe in this. Not only did she not believe it, but the vast majority of elite cultivators also disdained it. This was because to cultivators, ghosts were the primordial spirit. "It's true!" Health-maintenance Fei believed in this without a doubt and said seriously,""I didn't believe it at first either, but I had to believe it. Otherwise, there's no way to explain what happened today. Senior Sister apprentice Duanmu, do you know how I got in?" "How did you get in? Isn't it because of the brain-eating insect?" Duanmu Yu asked with a bit of curiosity. "Of course not, I don't even know what a brain-eating insect is. Lin Yi-qianbei taught me everything," Fei Liangyang shook his head with a bitter smile. Seeing that Duanmu Yu was getting more and more confused, he said,"I told you, I was swallowed by the Twin stem man-eating flower, but it wasn't some brain-eating insect that saved me, it was Lin Yi-qianbei. After he saved me, we fell into a paradise filled with rare herbs, but I accidentally fell into the hands of a river monster, and when I woke up, I was here for no reason ..." "What does this have to do with ghosts?" For a moment, Duanmu Yu did not understand. "Senior Sister Duanmu, think about it carefully. Since that scary river monster attacked me, it definitely wouldn't let Lin Yi-qianbei go. No matter how strong he is, he's not invincible, right? If Lin Yi-qianbei wasn't a ghost, how could we only hear his voice and not see him?" Health-maintenance Fei deduced with a serious face. "..." Duanmu Yu was immediately speechless after listening to his explanation. This was a common problem for many people. Once they encountered a problem that they couldn't understand, they would naturally associate it with a mysterious aspect. Moreover, the more they thought about it, the more correct they were. They couldn't extricate themselves from it. "I have to say, Lin Yi-qianbei sure is nice, saving me even after he turned into a ghost. I'll have to burn some paper money for him after I escape this. Humans and ghosts are different, and this is the only thing I can do for him." Health-maintenance Fei said with a sigh. "Humans and ghosts have different paths ..." Duanmu Yu almost burst out laughing when he heard this."I think you're thinking too much. It's weird to only hear the voice but not see the person, but it's not completely unexplainable. I suspect that Lin Yi's essence spirit is here. Don't forget, he's an essence spirit in the legends." "Primordial spirit body?" Health-maintenance Fei was stunned for a moment before he reacted."Oh right, it's been a long time since anyone mentioned it, I almost forgot about it!" "Hehe, as expected, I can't hide from miss Duanmu." Lin Yi finally revealed his Yuan spirit form in front of the two. "Senior Lin!" Fei Yangsheng suddenly showed a surprised and happy expression, but only he knew how much of this was true and how much of it was false. A faint trace of joy flashed across Duanmu Yu's face. However, he quickly regained his calm and sighed with emotion."I didn't expect you to have such a superb technique. It seems that you are indeed from a different world from us. Although you are not a ghost, you are not too different from one." "You're right, miss Duanmu. I'm impressed. " Lin Yi didn't deny it. As a woman, Duanmu Yu was indeed a person with good judgment and insight, far above most men in this aspect. These two sentences from her had already exposed Lin Yi's background and essence. "Brother Lin, you're too kind." Duanmu Yu shook his head with a bitter smile. Anyone with a little bit of vision could tell that Lin Yi was extraordinary, and she was the one who realized it later. Lin Yi smiled and looked at Duanmu Yu up and down."Miss Duanmu, what are your thoughts?" The question was a little sudden, and anyone else might not have been able to react in time, but Duanmu Yu understood Lin Yi's question very well. He smiled bitterly,"I can't help it, that's all." "I guessed so too." Lin Yi nodded. With Duanmu Yu's personality, it was impossible for her to marry a spirit beast of her own free will. The only explanation was that she had no choice but to compromise. Both of them were silent for a moment. Then, Duanmu Yu forced a smile and said."Forget it. To be able to meet brother Lin in this damned place is already a rare surprise for me. I'm content! Oh right, brother Lin, if you find it difficult to go out like this, why don't you find a way to hide here for a while? I'll think of a way to send you guys out of here safely, and it'll be a way to repay your kindness. " If it were any other woman, they wouldn't be this calm even if they weren't crying in their current situation. Lin Yi could clearly feel that Duanmu Yu didn't just give up, but he didn't know what he was thinking. "You're ready to accept your fate?" Lin Yi asked. "Accept your fate?" Duanmu Yu sighed and looked at Lin Yi with a complicated expression,"Maybe. I will try to struggle, but the possibility of success is not high. If it doesn't work, I can only accept my fate." She wasn't that close to Lin Yi, and with health-maintenance Fei around, she'd already been honest with him. She wouldn't say anything more about what she was thinking-from her point of view, she didn't need to. Lin Yi thought for a moment before suggesting,"Why don't we join forces?" "We'll join forces?" Duanmu Yu was startled when he heard this. Then, he could not help but feel moved.
