Chapter 332 Heavenly Master 39
Situ Shuangshuang swiftly grabbed Boss Tian, preventing him from rushing forward. She could sense that the entity was watching the stage and the audience below. As long as everyone remained silent, her talismans could obscure them from its sight. If Boss Tian tried to grab his son and attracted its attention, they would undoubtedly be discovered immediately.
Situ Shuangshuang wasn’t afraid of fighting that entity. However, she felt that there were more than just one person’s Life Soul present. Amidst the wandering souls, there were also Life Souls whose bodies were still alive.
Situ Shuangshuang planned to wait until the opera ended and the audience left, when the entity’s attention on the place would be at its lowest, to first collect these Life Souls. Otherwise, if a fight started and the opponent used these Life Souls as leverage, she would be at a disadvantage, unable to act freely. Already burdened with several nuisances, if the opponent gained more hostages, what could she do? Run away right then!
Although Boss Tian was anxious, he feared that his impulsive actions might disrupt Situ Shuangshuang’s plan and cause trouble, so he suppressed his impatience, quietly standing by Situ Shuangshuang’s side, patiently waiting for the right moment.
The opera continued for two hours straight. Situ Shuangshuang didn’t understand this operatic culture, but the melodious and winding tunes were not boring even to her, showcasing the skill of these opera ghosts!
Indeed, as soon as the opera ended and the audience began to leave, Situ Shuangshuang felt the strong gaze that had been on them vanish!
This was the moment! Situ Shuangshuang took off a small gourd hanging around her neck, and with the fastest speed, formed a handprint, pulled the stopper from the gourd, and threw it into the air!
Once again, Situ Shuangshuang rapidly formed two handprints. A golden light rose from her hand, landing on the small gourd. The gourd immediately opened, growing larger in the wind to the size of a room! Situ Shuangshuang shouted, "Ghosts disperse! Life Souls enter! Collect!"
With Situ Shuangshuang’s shout, seven or eight confused Life Souls among the ghosts were collected! Boss Tian’s son was the only one not collected into Situ Shuangshuang’s gourd!
Situ Shuangshuang frowned. As expected, most of these Life Souls didn’t know they were Life Souls, thinking they were ghosts. So they didn’t resist when collected, but Boss Tian’s son knew he was a Life Soul and chose to stay voluntarily, so he wasn’t collected by the gourd!
Life Souls are not like ghosts. Ghosts, free from their physical bodies, are strong and can be easily controlled by a Heavenly Master. Life Souls are fragile because they are still tied to their bodies. Forcing intervention might damage the child’s Life Soul.
Damaging a Life Soul is damaging a spirit, potentially affecting reincarnation—a grave sin! Even Heavenly Masters who make a living catching ghosts avoid such things easily! It’s too delicate, can’t be hit or touched, only coaxed gently, which is frustrating!
But Situ Shuangshuang clearly had no intention of coaxing a brat with pleasantries. She directly raised her hand, using a Soul Stabilizing Talisman to immobilize Boss Tian’s son running amok with a bunch of ghosts.
