I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1224: The Endless Wait

It had to be said that the dance she had performed was indeed quite exquisite.

But wasn’t Sun Yuluo supposed to be screaming as he vanquished this female ghost with his sword? What was he doing having a chat with her!?

Sun Yuluo was clearly not actually afraid of ghosts. He was just afraid of ugly things! An Lin and Da Bai felt like they had both been wrong about Sun Yuluo!

A seductive smile appeared on the woman’s face. “Would you like to see me perform another dance?”

Sun Yuluo was just about to reply when An Lin suddenly interjected, “Oi, shouldn’t you be dancing at a dance studio or something? Why are you dancing on top of a city wall?”

Da Bai turned to An Lin with a peculiar expression, wondering why he was bringing up something like this.

If the woman was beautiful, she could dance wherever she wanted! She could even dance at someone’s grave if she wanted, let alone a city wall. What was the point of asking that question?

However, to Da Bai’s surprise, the woman was seemingly a little dazed upon hearing An Lin’s question.

“Why… why am I dancing on top of a city wall?” she murmured to herself before her eyes suddenly lit up.

“I remember now! That man… He told me that he would come back to marry me after the battle against the Divine Dark Dao Sect…”

The woman’s red dress fluttered as she stared into the distance with her beautiful, enticing eyes.

“I’m standing on the wall to wait for him, and I’m dancing so that he would be able to see me… What do you think of my dancing? Will he notice me? Will he see my dance and come back to me?”

Sun Yuluo was sobbing with tears. “What a moving story!”

An Lin and Da Bai’s faces’ darkened. “How is this moving in any way?”

This woman’s fiance was clearly never going to return as tens of thousands of years had already passed since the era during which the Divine Dark Dao Sect was still around. Even if he hadn’t died in battle, he would have died from old age.

As for this woman on the wall, she had most likely already been used as a blood sacrifice by a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure. Only a wisp of her obsessive soul remained as she was fixated on a single idea that had kept her going to this very day.

“Sun Yuluo, put her out of her misery.” An Lin sighed.

Sun Yuluo’s expression shifted drastically. “Why? What a poor woman! Shouldn’t we fulfill her wish before we help her go to the other side?”

“Fulfill her wish?” An Lin rolled his eyes, “So, maybe you could act as her fiance and enact a love story between a human and a ghost?”

“Er…” Sun Yuluo blushed, and he didn’t know what to say.

Ding!

He drew his longsword and rested the blade on the woman’s snowy-white neck.

The woman in red stared blankly at Sun Yuluo with sorrow, confusion, and anger in her eyes. “Are you going to kill me?”

Sun Yuluo’s hand trembled as he held onto his sword. “You’re already dead, and so is your fiance. You shouldn’t remain in this world!”

Tears flowed from the woman’s eyes as she shook her head vigorously. “I don’t believe you. He said he would come back, so he’s definitely going to come back… I’ve waited for so long. What else can I do…”

Sun Yuluo was just about to say something when a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest!

Splat!

Blood splattered through the air and stained his blue robe red.

Sun Yuluo stared down with disbelief at his chest, where the woman’s red sleeve had transformed into a sharp spear that had punctured his chest.

“Little Sun!” An Lin and Da Bai yelled in unison.

Everything had happened so spontaneously, giving them no time to react!

“You…” Sun Yuluo’s eyes widened, and blood trickled down from the corner of his lips as he stared at the woman before him.

“Hehehe…” The woman’s beautiful features were suddenly twisted by malice. “No one can stop me from waiting for his return! No one! If you want to kill me, then I’ll send you to your grave first!”

Right at this moment, a white figure descended from the sky.

“Wind Sword!” An Lin suddenly flashed toward them, and his Evil-Slaying Sword instantly punctured the woman’s chest, leaving an inky-black afterimage in its wake. “We’re not trying to kill you, you’re already dead! If you’re dead, then you don’t belong to this world. Perhaps the person you’re waiting for is also waiting for you in the other world.”

“R… really?” The malice on the woman’s face slowly disappeared.

“Sword Immortal An Lin’s words are so profound and meaningful,” Sun Yuluo said as he coughed up blood.

An Lin’s expression darkened. “There’s no need to keep sucking up to me in your current state. You can take a break from that job!”

Inky-black light emanated from his Evil-Slaying Sword as it relentlessly struck the woman’s consciousness.

The woman’s red sleeve gradually returned to its former state, and an elated smile appeared on her face as she stared at An Lin. “Is that true? Is he really going to be waiting for me elsewhere? It has been so long… what if he has already forgotten about me?”

“That’s right, he’s waiting for you there. If he has forgotten about you, dance for him, and he’ll be able to remember,” An Lin said with a smile.

This was the first time he had ever placated a ghost in his life.

The female ghost nodded lightly upon hearing this, as if she truly had been convinced. She took a few steps back and performed her final dance to farewell this world.

Her dance was extremely elegant and gorgeous, lighting up the entire gloomy city.

“So beautiful…” An Lin and Da Bai were both entranced.

A voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

“Um… Sword Immortal An Lin, I think… I might need some emergency treatment…”

A stuttering, agonized voice sounded.

Only then did An Lin and Da Bai recall that Little Sun had just been stabbed in the heart!

“Little Sun, are you alright?!” An Lin immediately cradled the bleeding Sun Yuluo in his arms with a concerned expression.

“I… I feel like I’m about to die…” Sun Yuluo sobbed.

An Lin immediately unleashed his divine sense to detect Sun Yuluo’s condition. Thankfully, even though his heart had been punctured, he could still be saved! He immediately activated his Evergreen Technique to heal Sun Yuluo’s injury.

“I thought ugly ghosts were terrifying in the past, but who would have thought that beautiful ghosts are even more terrifying…” Sun Yuluo coughed up blood with a remorseful expression on his face.

“I’m currently treating you, and if you want to live, you better shut your mouth!” An Lin glowered.

Sun Yuluo immediately shut his mouth and stared at An Lin like a startled chicken.

“I really do need to learn not to judge a book by its cover…

“The more beautiful a woman is, the more cruel and vicious they could be…”

Sun Yuluo suddenly muttered again.

An Lin: “…”

If he could, An Lin really wanted to just ditch Sun Yuluo and leave him to fend for himself.

Thankfully, An Lin was able to save Sun Yuluo’s life after some treatment.

Sun Yuluo almost knelt down to An Lin in gratitude. “Sword Immortal An Lin, I’m extremely thankful to you for saving my life. I have nothing to repay you with aside from my body…”

“F*ck off!”

An Lin aimed a vicious kick at Sun Yuluo.

Sun Yuluo managed to evade it, but his scorching eyes remained firmly on An Lin’s face.

Everyone made their way out of the city and were at a bit of a loss as they looked at the boundless, inky-black world laid out before them.

Thankfully, all of them had prepared eternal direction indicators, so they did not get lost.

“Where do we go next?” Sun Yuluo asked.

Da Bai sniffed the air with his sensitive nose. “To the northeast!”

Sun Yuluo was astonished. “You can even smell ghosts?”

“The yin energy there is very dense, so there may be something important there, woof!” Da Bai spoke in an excited voice.

“Alright, to the northeast it is then.”

An Lin had also sensed something out of the ordinary in that direction, and he continued onward atop Da Bai’s back.
