Chapter 116: Having Hair Really Matters

The vengeful spirit gazed at the bald head before it. The scalp seemed to shimmer with a golden radiance, and it almost felt as if a golden halo hovered behind the man’s head, radiating a sense of profound holiness.

When it came down to it, Brother Kun’s prowess was simply overwhelming. Right now, even if he claimed that excrement was fragrant, the vengeful spirit would nod in agreement.

Ye Kun released the spirit and smiled with benevolence, "In your next life, do you intend to be a man or a woman?"

The spirit was stunned. One could actually choose? That was incredible!

"I... a woman doesn't need a horse, doesn't need cultivation, and doesn't need to own a house in Taijing. But a man is different! A man must cultivate! A man needs a White Feather Horse, a man must withstand immense pressure, and a man must fight for glory his entire life!"

Ye Kun nodded in agreement; there was no flaw in that logic. Girls only needed to be pretty, after all. Take his two wives, for example—aside from loving him, they were incapable of anything else. It was truly a headache.

Ye Qin felt deeply moved. This vengeful spirit had grasped the true essence of humanity. Being a man was difficult, but if one managed to make something of themselves, it meant a lifetime of glory.

Ye Li and Yan Mu'er pursed their lips. What twisted logic.

"So, have you decided to become a man and bring honor to your ancestors?" Ye Kun asked magnanimously.

The vengeful spirit said firmly, "No! I want to be a woman."

Everyone: "..."

For a vengeful spirit that had seen too much, being a man was simply too exhausting; there were too many burdens to bear.

"Er... that's a fine choice. Don't worry, as long as you have a dream, it will come true!" Ye Kun patted the spirit's head. It was fortunate that Kong Xu had fainted; otherwise, seeing such a scene would have surely made him doubt his own existence.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Go and be reincarnated."

"Very well."

"Wait for me to recite the rites of transcendence, then you may go."

"Thank you, big brother."

Ye Kun had read some passages on transcendence in books. Even though he wasn't sure if they worked, he recited them anyway. After all, he felt a bit guilty for having swindled someone to their death.

Suddenly, a green spirit drifted out of the little girl’s body. When everyone looked closer, they realized it was actually a blade of grass...

Could even a blade of grass cultivate into a demon?

By sheer coincidence, such luck did exist.

The vengeful spirit arched its body, and a brilliant green light flared. When the light dissipated, a blue spirit core slowly landed on the ground.

"Done." Ye Kun clapped his hands and turned to face the others.

Everyone stared at Ye Kun in horror. Brother Kun’s excellence had reached a hair-raising level! He had actually managed to talk a vengeful spirit into committing suicide.

"Husband, the way you performed that transcendence just now looked just like a high monk," Ye Li exclaimed, covering her cheeks.

"Indeed, husband, you shouldn't recite those anymore."

Ye Kun made up his mind: once they reached Ankang Prefecture, he would teach them how to cultivate, so they wouldn't have the spare time to discuss his lack of hair.

Feng Dian looked on with pure worship, his feelings beyond description. "Brother Kun, I used to think you were excellent enough, but today I realized that your brilliance extends from your lower regions all the way to your mouth. It's truly amazing!"

"Brother Kun, you are the hope of our Taixi County." Yuan Zhen now worshipped Brother Kun with fanaticism, though that didn't stop them from wanting to draw a turtle on his head. After all, drawing a turtle on Brother Kun’s head would be a feat that would shake the entire Xuanyue Continent.

"Brother, amazing!" Ye Qin was already accustomed to his brother's brilliance and gave a thumbs up, though he felt a slight sense of loss in his heart. His brother was indeed outstanding, and the gap between them continued to widen.

Ye Kun draped an arm around his brother and laughed, "Without my little brother's support, I wouldn't have the guts to do it."

"Brother, you flatter me."

Ye Kun poked his brother's stomach. "You little rascal, you've started using that line too."

Yan Mu'er suddenly beckoned to Ye Kun, "Husband, come here~"

"What is it?" Ye Kun walked over, curious.

*Smack.*

Ye Kun stood there, dazed, covering his cheek. He had been sneak-kissed by his wife!!! Good heavens!!!

The onlookers were stunned as well. Sister-in-law Kun was so proactive; Brother Kun was truly blessed.

Ye Li was furious. That little vixen loved this sort of thing! She couldn't lose!

*Smack~*

Ye Kun covered his face with both hands. They actually! They actually sneak-kissed him in public without his permission~

He had never seen girls in Taijing act so proactively. Were they some kind of anomalies...?

Ye Qin wore a joyful smile. It was clear from these past few days that his sisters-in-law really loved his brother. At this thought, his mood gradually sank.

"Sister-in-law Kun is awesome, you go girl!" Yuan Zhen and Feng Dian immediately cheered. Seeing Brother Kun actually blushing and shy was hilarious...

Just as everyone was laughing and joking, a stern voice suddenly rang out.

"Halt! Where is the monster!" The Captain of the ship had finally appeared, wrapped tightly from head to toe, fearful that even a tiny gap would leave him vulnerable to mosquito bites.

When the Captain saw the blue spirit core on the ground, his expression stiffened beneath his helmet, and he gave a sharp shout, "It has already been subdued? Otherwise, I would have certainly cut you down with my sword!"

Ye Kun and the others realized that while Kong Xu was the hypocritical type, this Captain was truly, deeply narcissistic.

As the Captain approached, the other passengers gathered around to observe, only to discover the spirit core!

The vengeful spirit from just a moment ago had actually been captured by this bald man! There hadn't even been any commotion. How was this possible? Even the Five-Trigram Exorcist couldn't handle it, yet this young bald man had done it!

Could he really be that professional? To have such high cultivation at such a young age—it was truly terrifying!

Looking back at the Five-Trigram Exorcist, he was already vomiting blood and had fainted. What a tragedy!

"A hero truly emerges from the youth! I am in awe!" The Captain cupped his hands toward Ye Kun.

Ye Kun, unsure of the Captain's intentions, returned the gesture, "You are too kind."

"I wonder, little brother, do you know the art of divination?" the Captain asked curiously.

Ye Kun had a flash of inspiration and smiled, "As a professional exorcist, divination is also a mandatory skill."

"That is excellent. Please, little brother, step this way. I shall treat you to fine food and wine."

Ye Kun laughed heartily, "The wine and food are not important; I mainly just want to perform a divination for you, Captain."

Everyone: "..."

At that moment, the little girl stirred and woke up, "Mother..."

"My child."

"Mother, I'm so tired. I want to sleep."

"Be good, Mother will take you back to sleep."

The woman carried the child over to Ye Kun, "High Monk, thank you for saving my child. Thank you so much."

Ye Kun couldn't figure it out. Kong Xu called him an expert, but here he was being called a High Monk. Was not having hair really that important?

"Madam, you are too kind. Quickly take your child back to rest." Ye Kun forced a smile. Perhaps he should wear a wig...

"Big brother, thank you. Your hair will grow back later."

Out of the mouths of babes...
