Condemning the Heavens Chapter 511

Chapter 511: 511
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 .
The more influential ghosts in the cities were unable to strengthen themselves in any other way than to buy these slaves and consume them . They could not very well go hunting in their own city, as it might cause great chaos .
They gained spirit liquid from the citizens in return for protection, and the taxes were also paid in the form of spirit liquid .
This spirit liquid was then used to purchase ghosts and soul slaves .
One could cultivate using spirit liquid, but considering that it was merely a part of a ghost, it was nowhere as effective as consuming a whole ghost .
She had been prepared that when they reached the capital, she would have to be consumed, but now this young man, who had appeared out of nowhere, had given her hope, and a chance to continue living .
Her eyes, which had already reddened previously when he showed her some friendliness, were now full of tears, and they silently fell down her cheeks, one after another .
Xue Wei was not the kind of person who felt tender feelings towards the opposite gender unless that person was Wang Xiaoyun, and while he did pity this ghost, he did not do anything to comfort her .
He had given her freedom and a choice to follow them, but he would never be ambiguous with her . Although he was not married, he considered Wang Xiaoyun his wife, and himself, a man with a woman whom he had to be faithful towards .
Even so, he did not think that it was wrong to communicate with the opposite gender . As long as he did not do anything to wrong Wang Xiaoyun, he did not care for the gender of his companions and friends .
The ghost was also not crying for the sake of arousing pity in Xue Wei . She was genuinely feeling relieved and grateful .
After crying for a short while, she felt her emotions calm down, and she slowly began to relax .
"Thank you," she said . Her voice was full of sincere gratitude, and her eyes sparkled . She was a rather astute person and could sense that Xue Wei truly had no ulterior motives to help her, and she felt comfortable in his presence .
Although he was a ghost, or so she thought, she could not see the usual greed and hunger in his eyes as he looked at her .
She did not feel the fear of getting consumed, and thus she was feeling much more favorable towards him than any of the other ghosts she had seen .
She was suddenly very trusting towards Xue Wei, as he had no reason to lie to her, not to mention that he had saved her . She felt that following him would be the right choice .
