As she checked the body, she found 43 spirit stones and some kind of gemstone attached to woman's clothes... but she could not tell, if there was a function to it. Spoiler: Will 99 + 20 (cultivator) - critical success As she thought about draining entire village, something snapped in her and she calmed herself down. Was it a corruption of dark arts? She wondered. Was it influencing her thoughts?
“Not necessarily. They can expel supernatural presences, but don’t exorcise them. But they will still prevent anything else from entry, as long as the doorways and windows are properly placed. To actually deal with the spirit in question, I recommend leaving the front door open so it had a place to enter tonight and I can properly cut it off and exorcise it from there when it’s cornered with no escapes. Keep one in front of your bedroom doorway and you won’t be in any danger while I work. “ She turned to look at her two followers. “In such a situation, I recommend pretending to be asleep in the living room, so when it makes it’s move, you can place one and seal it’s escape, entirely.”
Spoiler: Awareness 77 - success Spoiler: Fight Spirit 39 + 10 (evil spirit) Mulan 80 +20 (cultivator) +10 (Martial arts) Mulan health 2 Evil ? 0 As she concentrated, and decided to defeat undead this time... she was focused. Soon, she steeped to the side, as spirit attacked from below - and when she was wide open, Mulan slammed her sword into woman's calvage. "Gh!" the spirit gave a soft moan as she fell on the ground... slowly, her shape started darkening... before turning into dark mist and evaporeting... leaving behind a body of a woman in burial robes. The place where Mulan's word was buried... her sword pierced a talisman attached to the body. Then... slowly a spirit of the dead woman materialsied, floating over... her body.
"Good... Right..." The woman nodded." She then looked, as her spirits raised. "So... you will be staying with me tonight?" She asked, her voice hopeful.
Mulan heavy breathing from the all efforts what she put in this fight. It was much harder than beast in the forest, but she managed to win this fight. She look at the ghost of dead woman and keep her sword ready if that try another attack. "Are former lady of this mansion? Mother of Fu and wife of Kong Ru? Please, tell me how you die and who cursed your body?"
"Aaah... huh?" Luo Fei shuddered as she felt something dark pass over here. "Ugh... what was I?" She shook her head. "Right... this village. I guess there are more rats in there, so I won't be sure how many more Bloody Fangs might come." She said to herself, as she loots Su Cheng's spirit stones, and taking the gemstone, thinking it could be sold. After that, Luo Fei travels away from the village with no real destination in mind
The spirit seemed peaceful... now. She nodded. "Yes... I am He Bo, I was a concubine of Kong Ru... and mother of Fu..." She paused. "How I died? Lady Yi found out that I was trying to poison her and she presented the proof to my husband. Instead making a public affair of this, he decided to feed me my own poison... unbeknownst to all. But my daughter somehow found out. She studied talismans and found a way to resurrect my body and bind my spirit to it. I would attack anyone loyal to my husband or Lady Yi." Mulan could feel her ring getting warmer, as Cao Hui's spirit appeared right next to her. "Now, that's interesting..." She mused. "What will you do now, my student?" She asked, as she started studying the talisman on the dead body's chest.
Spoiler: intelligence 5 - great failure Deciding on her course of action, Luo Fei left the village. She did travel some distance... but as it was dark, it was difficult to move around. Finally, as she moved through the forest, she saw a light of a fire in a forest.
Mulan put hand to her forhead, thinking what she should do next. "Damit, nothing is simple. On one hand, He Bo tried to kill another woman for position, so this is the crime. But Kong Ru didn't punish her in trial but kill her by own weapon. So from venges Fu decided to murder her father by hands of death mother. No one here is inocent, everyone is guilty." She walked in circles. "What should I do? What ever choice I made, it woundn't be juistice. If I support daughter, I will have to kill two people who defend themselfs and break law of host/guest. If I support lord and his wife, I will add to lord sins not only murdering wife, but also his daughter, and her action come from revenge for mother. If I just walk away, they won't stop and more inocent people will die, because they won't stop." Mulan noticed how her mistress study talisman. "What do you advise me Mistress Cao? From moral point of view, whatever I do, it will be wrong, so of what I can take most profit?" She asked.
"Hmm?" Luo Fei hummed as she saw what must be a campfire, for now, she attempts to check it out at a distance. Trying to see if they could be allies, or enemies.
"Hm~" Cao Hui hummed, as she continued studying the talisman. "You forgot that you could also turn against all of them... or play a lord maker..." She traced her finger over the ink - her ghostly finger moving through the material. "In the end... it's your choice." She finished.
As she looked to the fire... she found it to be a camp... there was one person sitting, leaning against the tree's trunk... but she could tell no more...
"She... doesn't look like an enemy." Luo Fei whispered to herself, deciding to approach the camper, slowly. "Excuse me, might I share your fire?" She asked with a smile.
"Turn against all of them?! Then what, slaying everyone in this mansion?! No, no, no. That is oposite to all what I believe. Also I don't have any experience in ruling." She said and take talisman from the dead body. Mulan was angry for herself that she didn't ignored that task, what only lead her to bigger issues. But... On other hand, she must face that trial, to make herself stronger. She turn back and leave locked part of mansion. Mulan decided to find all three persons affected by this evil sins. Crime must be punished.
The woman moved her head slightly... her face was still obscured by her hat. For a moment her hand tightened over the sheet of her sword... but then she loosened her grip. After a moment of silence - "Please, be my guest." She said. "It's a rare occasion to share a fire with a fellow traveler." She said calmly.
"Please~" The spirit of He Bo stopped her. "Please, release me. Destroy the talisman and set me free..." The ghost pleaded with her. "There is an alternative. That talisman was bothered... but it allowed an interesting opportunity." The spirit of Cao Hui said. "If you were to change a few paint brushes and add a few paint brushes on the dead body, you could bind the spirit again to it's body - as it was before... but this time, it would be bound to your service." She explained. "I could instruct you... but it's your choice..." "No! Please, don't torment me anymore! Destroy the talisman!" He Bo pleaded. "Torment? The demon Mulan faced was direct representation of your wicked character. It was all you, in your true cruel form - the only thing that was changed, was removing your inhibitions..." Cao Hui commented.
“I shall. We won’t make ourselves difficult guests, I promise you.” Torri figured this was probably the best method to go with.
Wang thinks about the situation and what to do before speaking "Excuse me Miss is this your house "If she did no respond he will just go back to where he was and start to cultivate after all a house in this place means that the owner is not ordinary
Mulan said. "We people are real beast's. We can make anything for our ambitions, hunger for riches and power. What make us different from the beast is that we have a choice to control our grief, lust and instincts." Mulan turn to ghost of He Bo. "Do you have anything what you can do to redeem yourself? I want to stop this circle of violence and death, so better think something good. Think not only about yourself but also about your daughter. Do you want her to suffer too? " She said holding talisman.
Hayami presses her against the desk with his lean but muscular frame, wrapping a thick forearm around her neck. "Uh, uh, none of that." He squeezes, letting her know that any screaming will be punished. "Now, why don't I make my pitch? Show you the benefits of working with me?" He grins, and begins to touch her body. Employing all the skills he's learned over the years, he uses his fingers and still covered cock to stimulate the woman and drive her crazy with pleasure.
