Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Heavenly Master 9

Situ Shuangshuang and her master’s home is a four-courtyard house. This four-courtyard house covers a significant area and is built in a classical, elegant style. The open spaces in the courtyard have been cultivated by Situ Shuangshuang and her master, planted with various fruits and vegetables, enough to be self-sufficient.

It is said that Chen Qi, when younger, helped a wealthy person with exorcism, and this four-courtyard house was the reward. It was also the highest reward Chen Qi ever received in his life.

Thanks to this four-courtyard house, they don’t have to pay rent and can provide vegetables and fruits for their daily meals, which prevents life from being too tight for the master and apprentice.

When Situ Shuangshuang gave the money to Chen Qi, he was also very happy, but he was most delighted to see that pile of meat.

Looking at the meat, Chen Qi’s eyes were about to turn green—finally, no need to be a rabbit! They can indulge in some meat! Although they have a vegetable garden at home with a variety of vegetables to fry up different dishes, without meat, it never felt satisfying.

That evening, the master and apprentice had a good meal with braised pork ribs, braised beef with potatoes, and a large plate of spicy chicken. This extravagance was only for that once; in the future, the meat couldn’t be eaten so luxuriously and had to be stir-fried with vegetables.

In the following days, Situ Shuangshuang, on her way to and from school, kept an eye on the place where she saw the small spirit baby. Sure enough, she encountered the spirit baby crawling out twice more. Each time it saw Situ Shuangshuang, the little spirit baby would smile and wave at her, obviously very fond of her.

Every time she encountered the spirit baby, Situ Shuangshuang would send the little thing back into its mother’s womb, but she had a bad premonition in her heart.

Although spirit babies can easily leave the flesh to roam, they wouldn’t do it so frequently unless the pregnancy was unstable, with a constant risk of miscarriage, making the spirit baby uncomfortable in the body, thus frequently escaping from it.

Situ Shuangshuang thought about it, drew a Fetus Protection Talisman, and then waited in a corner for the spirit baby’s mother to come out. She had previously used her Divine Sense to see the spirit baby’s mother, a young girl who looked no more than twenty-one or twenty-two years old, but her belly was already showing, though not very obvious, looking about three or four months along. Situ Shuangshuang had never given birth herself, so she could only guess.

Before long, the spirit baby’s mother, together with a long-haired girl, came out. Situ Shuangshuang immediately ignited the Fetus Protection Talisman and injected a soft yellow light into the spirit baby’s mother’s body.

With the Fetus Protection Talisman in place, Situ Shuangshuang vaguely heard a comfortable sigh from the little baby, which instantly lifted her spirits. Although no one knew what she did, the feeling of doing a good deed was truly nice.

She distractedly observed the spirit baby’s mother’s complexion, finding it quite poor, probably due to the previous unstable pregnancy.

The long-haired girl was the spirit baby’s mother’s roommate. Situ Shuangshuang had seen her a few times when sending the spirit baby back, but she had never seen a man around this girl.

Situ Shuangshuang didn’t know if this girl was unmarried and pregnant or had already married young, but seeing her not living with a man but instead co-renting with a female roommate, it was clearly the former reason.

Nevertheless, Situ Shuangshuang sincerely hoped this girl’s boyfriend would be a responsible man and not lead her to the path of abortion.

Reincarnation is not easy for souls. Souls without obsessions or with no misdeeds in life do not pass through the Underworld and are directly drawn into the Reincarnation Road at the moment of death, having their past memories wiped clean and becoming a blank slate.

But if a soul fails to reincarnate and becomes a spirit baby, it must queue in the underworld’s reincarnation world for rebirth, which can take many years, decades, or even centuries!

This is because only when there is a gap in the automatic reincarnation of souls on the Reincarnation Road can the Underworld send the waiting souls into the Reincarnation Road.

In the following month, although Situ Shuangshuang walked past the place every day, she never saw the spirit baby again, yet she couldn’t rest her heart.

The spirit baby not appearing might be a good thing, as it could mean that he is very comfortable inside his mother’s belly and doesn’t want to come out. But it might also be the result Situ Shuangshuang did not want to consider.

After more than a month, with no sight of the spirit baby, although worried, Situ Shuangshuang had no better options. She had done all she could. As long as the girl didn’t consider an abortion, the Fetus Protection Talisman would definitely ensure the safe birth of the spirit baby.

Amidst such worries, the final exams arrived, and Situ Shuangshuang no longer had time to worry about the little spirit baby and his mother.

Though Situ Shuangshuang’s grades were good enough that she wasn’t worried about not doing well, she still had to take it seriously to avoid a careless slip-up that could mean losing her top spot, which was crucial for her to continue attending school for free! Perhaps she could even earn some scholarships upon entering high school and make some money!

Indeed, having lived two lives, she shamelessly competed with kids for the top spot, with her aim being scholarships and free tuition. People who are poor have to be frugal!

The tense final exams finally passed, and as expected, Situ Shuangshuang ranked first, still far ahead of the second place, which was something all the students had become accustomed to. If one day she wasn’t first, that would surprise them.

With the end of the term came the long vacation. When Situ Shuangshuang passed by the spirit baby’s home again, she found the place suddenly feeling a bit eerie. Even in broad daylight, a cold atmosphere made people walking by feel an inexplicable chill, despite it being hot midday weather.

Situ Shuangshuang’s heart sank as a golden light flashed in her eyes. She saw that the balcony where the spirit baby once lay was now entangled in dense black smoke, twisting and writhing like a ghostly face, with faint, piercing wails emanating from it!

No wonder this place felt so cold. Such a heavy presence of resentful energy had already blocked the yang energy from outside and affected the senses of those passing by.

Within this impenetrable resentful energy, there was a very familiar aura to Situ Shuangshuang—it was that of the little spirit baby! But now the spirit baby had become a resentful baby!

Spirit babies are simple-minded and rarely produce resentful energy. Even when aborted, they usually obediently go to the Underworld to wait for reincarnation unless they have suffered great pain; otherwise, they wouldn’t be like this!

Situ Shuangshuang didn’t know what the spirit baby experienced to turn into a resentful baby, but no matter what, she must take advantage of the fact that this resentful energy hasn’t yet mixed with bloody energy and quickly help the resentful baby move on!

Because once a resentful baby kills someone, it can no longer reincarnate. Situ Shuangshuang didn’t want that little spirit baby, who once sweetly smiled and waved at her, to end up like that.

She couldn’t wait any longer; it was still daytime, and the resentful energy here was already so heavy. If she waited until nighttime when yang energy dissipated, who knows what it might become!

Resentful babies are extremely difficult to deal with because, when a spirit baby transforms into a resentful baby, it is given wisdom by the resentful energy, and resentful babies are inherently strong attackers, making them one of the resentful spirits fierce ghosts that Heavenly Masters like the least to encounter!

Situ Shuangshuang affixed an Invisibility Talisman to herself, then leaped onto the balcony engulfed in condensed black smoke of resentful energy, walked to the window, and lightly pulled it open. The latch originally tightly shut unlocked itself and slid aside.

Situ Shuangshuang tiptoed into the room; it was an ordinary girl’s room, decorated warmly and lovingly, with many fluffy toys piled on the sofa and at the foot of the bed. One could feel that the owner of this room was a girl with a lot of character.

But at this moment, the warm, lovely room was filled with a rich, overpowering smell of blood—sharp enough to make one want to vomit!

But having encountered various disgusting scenes and nauseating smells while catching ghosts, Situ Shuangshuang was entirely immune to it. She quietly moved toward the area with the densest resentful energy, planning to see if she could communicate with the spirit baby turned resentful baby.

Ah—

Before Situ Shuangshuang could find the resentful baby, she heard a woman’s piercing scream!
