"The old man was over eighty, his Yang Energy was naturally weak and he was devastated, so drowning him was not hard with your temptation. But even if you devoured a soul, it shouldn't grant you the power to lure a young man in the prime of his life into the water."
Aunt Yu blew a bubble and asked, "So you went and learned skills from other Water Ghosts while cultivating? Your resentment is quite something.
Logically, once the body dies, it loses its spiritual resolve, which should reduce the resentment a layer;
coupled with the fact that the one who acted was your kin, especially your own son, which would naturally reduce the hatred another layer;
the act of killing the old man should then reduce the resentment another layer;
lingering long in the Mortal World would further reduce a layer. In my experience, regular ghosts at this point usually let go of their hatred and leave, but you refuse and still want to kill others."
