What did he mean by 'how did this young master die'?
Although he was sickly, he shouldn't be cursing him to death.
However, Tan Xun soon realized that things weren't as simple as he thought. There must be more to this than meets the eye.
Hence, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
The rich young master was shocked as well, panicking as if his secret had been exposed. On the other hand, the butterfly banshee was calm, as if she knew she couldn't hide this from Lin Jin.
"Appraiser Lin, this is what happened …" The butterfly banshee began explaining.
She had been cultivating in a secluded area in the north so she wouldn't harm anyone. Some time ago, this rich young master happened to be traveling there.
Perhaps the other party deserved to die. While he was playing, he accidentally fell off a cliff and died.
Under normal circumstances, this would be considered a missing person case. The authorities might not be able to find this missing young master even after a few hundred years. But coincidentally, the cliff he fell off was where the butterfly banshee's cultivation abode was located.
He fell to his death right in front of her abode.
To the butterfly banshee, this was a natural disaster. She didn't care. Someone had died right in front of her. If anyone found out, she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she had a hundred mouths.
How could she do that?
Send the body away?
That wouldn't be easy to explain either. People might even think that she was the one who killed this rich young master.
The young master's pet beast had fallen to his death too. Not knowing what to do, the butterfly banshee began to fret beside the body.
However, when she looked at the handsome young master who had died, she thought about how his family would be worried about him if he had died for no reason. At that moment, she felt compassion for him.
After some thought, the butterfly banshee used a secret skill to 'revive' this rich young master.
Of course, he wasn't really alive. After all, the dead couldn't be resurrected. The butterfly demoness had used a secret technique similar to 'corpse control'. Furthermore, she had placed the soul of the rich young master in her own body, using a method similar to a blood contract to maintain his' vitality '.
In nature, some butterflies could use a type of venom to control the corpses of other insects. The butterfly banshee used this' racial talent '.
That was why the rich young master looked so sickly. That was because he was now a living dead.
This was the reason why Lin Jin sent this family away. No parent would be able to accept this reality.
Lin Jin didn't think there was anything wrong with this. From a certain perspective, the butterfly banshee had done a good deed. At least the family wouldn't be devastated in the future.
Moreover, she did not plunder anything, nor did she seem to have any other intentions. Up until now, she had been silently contributing.
For the sake of this young master, she even left her secluded cultivation cave and came to Jade Dragon City.
Everyone knew what kind of place Jade Dragon City was. The fact that she dared to come here meant that she was taking a huge risk. This proved that she had a clear conscience.
"Appraiser Lin, I truly mean no harm and I don't wish to harm anyone. Feelings have developed between Young Master Zhou and I and I only wish to be by his side. I hope Appraiser Lin can fulfill my wish." Having said that, the butterfly demon bowed.
Lin Jin shook his head.
Mr. Zhou was immediately displeased. "Appraiser Lin, we have no grudge against you. Why are you making things difficult for us?"
Lin Jin smiled. "If I wanted to make things difficult for you, I would've just killed this Yao Die. Why would I bother listening to you?"
Mr. Zhou froze.
The butterfly demon quickly said, "Young Master, please don't be like this. Appraiser Lin is a man of God. You mustn't be rude!"
Mr. Zhou immediately became listless.
Lin Jin didn't have a good impression of this young master. He was incompetent and yet, he was a troublemaker.
If the kid hadn't recklessly run around, he wouldn't have fallen off the cliff. He was quite lucky. If he hadn't run into the butterfly demon, he would have turned into a pile of bones by now.
Lin Jin was clearly satisfied with the butterfly demon's attitude so he didn't plan on making things difficult for them.
"Don't worry, both of you. I, Lin Jin, am not a busybody nor am I a pedantic person. I can't stop you two from being together and I can't be bothered. However, resurrection spells like this still have their drawbacks. I'm sure you both know this." Lin Jin's eyes lit up.
Right after Lin Jin said that, the butterfly demon nodded. "Appraiser Lin is right. At first, Mr. Zhou was just like any other person. But as time passed, his body grew weaker and weaker. No matter how many spells I cast, it didn't work."
"Isn't that obvious? He's already a dead man. You used a spell to control his corpse and preserve his soul. But this method won't last long. His body won't be able to hold on for another year at most." At Lin Jin's words, Young Master Zhou visibly shuddered and fear crept onto his face. "That's right.
This was normal. After learning that he only had one year left to live, no one would remain calm.
The butterfly demon wasn't surprised at all. Lin Jin immediately realized that she had already realized this and was mentally prepared for it.
"Reversing life and death is against the Heavenly Dao in the first place. Even the Immortal Emperors and Grand Immortal Monarchs were annihilated. Cai Die naturally doesn't think that she can surpass the Heavenly Dao and control the cycle of life and death. She just wants to cherish this one year." As she spoke, she looked at Young Master Zhou, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Lin Jin understood.
Relationships between men and women were the hardest to explain. Moreover, this butterfly demon was clearly prepared to part ways. After all, life and death didn't exist. The difference between superior and inferior depended on who could see through life and death.
Lin Jin wouldn't get involved in this. Just like the butterfly demon said, who could truly reverse life and death?
No one could.
No one could do it. Even the carefree immortals could not live as long as the heavens and the earth. Moreover, even the heavens and the earth would collapse at some point.
Nothing in this world could escape this law.
Lin Jin was more concerned about something else. The butterfly demon had mentioned immortal emperors and immortal lords, and she even mentioned going against the will of Heaven.
This wasn't something the average person would know. Lin Jin had also learned of this butterfly demon's background from his acupuncture earlier. Hence, he said, "It wasn't easy for you either. Back then, you were just a butterfly in the nine-heavens immortal's garden. You were enlightened by the immortal empress and that's how you gained your cultivation. Then, during the great calamity of immortality, you managed to escape from the nine-heavens and hide in the human realm to focus on cultivation. You're lucky to have escaped death."
At that, the butterfly demon paled in fright.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief as if she had just seen an evil spirit.
She had never told anyone about this secret. No one but herself knew about it. And yet, Appraiser Lin had exposed her with just a few words.
This filled her with immense fear and shock.
