Chapter 511: Freedom (1/2)
The female ghost was somewhat puzzled as to why Xue Wei was treating her like this. She was a slave, and most would consider them without pride or dignity, but he still respected her.
The thought made her feel at a loss, but she quickly picked up the gadget. This gadget was quite common in the Ghost Realm, but not often used. She knew how it worked, and she turned it on, after which she tossed it into the air.
It hovered above her head before it began humming, and the humidity that was in the air was being condensed into droplets at first, and later a steady stream of water was formed that poured down on her.
She had shed her clothes and stood naked as the water washed the grime off her body.
Although the water was cold, and could not be considered comfortable, the female ghost was not picky. She was already satisfied that she would be able to wash herself clean.
When she finished, she found that her clothes were completely unrecognizable, and she felt a little sad knowing that she had no other clothes to change into.
Xue Wei could hear that she had begun touching the clothes and quickly called out, ”Stop.”
The female ghost raised her head to see that Xue Wei had tossed a dress to her. The dress was one of Luoluo's, and this ghost had a figure that resembled hers. Although she was a bit shorter, the difference was not significant, and she could easily wear Luoluo's clothes.
The woman felt her eyes redden slightly. She had never known that someone could show her such friendliness, and while she did not know what his purpose was, she was no longer as hostile towards him.
After wearing the clothes, the female ghost went towards Xue Wei. She looked at him curiously for the first time and saw that he was a young man who exuded pride and strength that not many ghosts could rival.
”What do you wish to do to me?” she asked while slowly biting her lower lip, feeling a little unsure, but Xue Wei did not look too much at her. Instead, he sighed.
”I remember the time I was helpless and almost dead,” Xue Wei began. ”Back then, it was a friend of mine, a brother, who gave his life to ensure that I could go on. When I saw you, I was reminded of his sacrifice for me, and I wished to change your life as well.
”You will be given your freedom when we reach the capital of the region, and from there you can go your own way. If you want to come with us, then you are also welcome to do so.”
The female ghost's eyes widened in shock when she heard Xue Wei's words. Was she going to regain her freedom?
She was suddenly at a loss. She had been free before, but last year she had been captured while the caravan moved towards the capital.
The caravan had been traveling for seven years so far, and on the way, they would capture ghosts and souls with the purpose of selling them in the capital to strong ghosts who could consume them.
