[ A moment that Jing Yuan catches nonetheless—he is, if anything, an observant man such that incidents that may well be brushed off as mere tricks of light are caught like the flare of an unforgiving sun in its brief glimpse. All the same... ]
Oh? Perhaps I shall consider that nothing less than fortunate.
To deal with spirits that can insight the worst upon possession of others is not something I would wish on anyone.
[ After dealing with such creatures for a multitude of centuries, Jing Yuan knows this best. ]
That is indeed how they are. Mindless, thoughtless creatures who think of literally nothing else. Should one take a casual, ill-advised stroll where they mostly congregate with one another, it is the exact kind of topic they discuss:
How their last meal was — naturally based upon the consumption of their last victim — and how much they desire for their next to be ever the more fulfilling.
[ Not exactly pleasant talk but confirmation to Jing Yuan that these creatures are such base lifeforms. The Xianzhou is welcome to many a variety of lifeforms and species, some of which live in harmony with one another, and some of which would rather drag all of them down into the depths of hell to stand upon their remains, corpses, or the space where they once existed, and now nothing is left. ]
Though, I do wonder if the malevolent spirits you are familiar with are another large source of trouble in your world, even if they differ from the ones I witness back on the Xianzhou.
