Chapter 16: The Beauty Visits
Although he could travel at any time and had made all the necessary preparations, thinking about potentially facing a legendary supernatural creature made Lu Zheng feel uneasy.
"Actually, I already know where the Corpse Ghost is staying. I could just go to the White Cloud Temple and inform Daoist Mingzhang."
The target was clear, and it was evident that Scholar Wang’s family was well off. If Daoist Mingzhang saved him, the reward would surely be generous. Moreover, he could gain prestige in the county, and the incense at the temple would surely flourish.
"So, am I actually reluctant to give up the Light of Fortune on that Corpse Ghost?"
Six strands of Light of Fortune had greatly enhanced Lu Zheng’s physical condition, and he had even become a sword technique expert.
How could anyone give up such a feeling?
"Forget it, I’ll try it myself first. If I can’t handle it, I’ll go to the White Cloud Temple for help."
"Besides, that Corpse Ghost targeted Scholar Wang the other day, and it might not necessarily come after me. I can’t possibly seek it out actively, can I?"
For a moment, Lu Zheng was torn between caution and greed.
He didn’t dare to take the initiative, yet was unwilling to part with the alluring Light of Fortune.
