Assistant Xu's entire face turned pale and his entire body stiffened and he couldn't help but crack in panic, " Human Hum...Human Bo..bones? Second madam, what are you saying this wind chime is made of hu..human Bo..bones?" Yuck! Eww to think that he wiped that thing with his hands and even caressed it because it looked so smooth and shiny—— he thought it was some new product that his sister got from country B but who would have thought that this was actually made of human bones!! Oooh, mama! He needed to wash his hands! He really, really wanted to wash his hands and maybe sanitize his entire house on the way.
His heart was numb with shock. He never thought that this good looking wind chime actually had such a secret hidden about itself and what was more he even slept with it in his bedroom! Doesn't that mean he was actually sleeping with that female ghost eyeing him like a goddamn meatloaf every night? He thought that it was a simple gift that his sister sent to him, but never did he expect that there would be such a tragedy waiting for him. How was he going to ever look at his hands the same way after finding out that these hands actually touched a dead woman's bones?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that he was so panic-stricken that he was trembling like a quail, Song Yan didn't know how to comfort him, however, she couldn't watch him shiver like a terrified chicken so she soothingly said, " It's alright, though the female ghost has a deep grudge she hasn't attained the level of cultivation that surpasses mine, you don't need to worry about it. I can take care of her very smoothly, you won't be subjected to any backlash either."
Assistant Xu wasn't comforted in the least, he could only think about how he has been eating and sleeping in this room with a dead woman's bones and her grudge full spirit. Especially, when he was reminded of the last night —— if he has been a step too late, the female ghost had mutilated his entire body and then wreaked havoc in his house, she had bounded in invisible chains and tied him to his bed—— all prepared to take his bones out and if not for the talisman she would have succeeded in doing so, yet second madam was talking about that female ghost-like she was some small kid that was throwing tantrum and can be set up straight with a spank on her butt.
" What should I do, Second madam? I am the only son of my family, If something happens to me what will happen to my family's bloodline?" Assistant Xu was so scared that he completely let go of his perfect —— calm and cool-headedness. He simply started to act like a man who has lost all sense of his rationality and Song Yan was certain that if she didn't calm him down soon the guy might just start crying any second now.
" That's why I am here, right? I will take care of the ghost… you don't have to worry about it at all." Song Yan raised her arm and patted Assistant Xu who looked like he was on verge of crying. " Once I force her to show herself I will take care of her and settle this matter for once and for all, you don't need to worry about it, alright?"
When Assistant Xu heard that Song Yan was going to force the ghost out of her shell, he couldn't help but quiver. Last night he had enough of the terrifying appearance of the ghost, was there really a need to see it again? " Is there no other option, Second madam? I mean—— do we really have to force that female ghost out? I mean, can't we just burn this windchime and be done with it?"
Song Yan smiled but when she spoke her voice was apathetic. " That's not how it's done, without taking care of the female ghost, this shell will never be broken or destroyed. Her soul resides inside it, so she will do everything in her power to protect this wind chime. Not to mention, she must have gone through some immense pain or else she wouldn't have set such a strong grudge field."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough it was a lot weaker compared to the one her mother has set up, it was still a bit stronger than the grudge fields set by level one ghosts.
Assistant Xu's face immediately collapsed, great now he has to see that female ghost again. His entire being turned dispirited and he could feel his gut twist in remorse, why did he hang the wind chime? It wasn't that pretty anyway, he should have just thrown it and been done with it. It was all his stupidity that he got attracted by it, how many times had this wind chime played that mournful, creepy tone? He should have doubted it earlier and should have sent it far away. At least from himself, now that the female ghost has latched herself to him and even if he sent this wind chime away, he was sure that he would find it in his house after sending it away as it happened in the horror movies.
After all, as the saying went, it was easier to invite the devil but it was just as impossible to send it away. The same could be said for this female ghost, he was the one who invited this female ghost into his house by accepting the wind chime but now whether the female ghost wanted to leave or not, depended on what she had in her mind.
Song Yan didn't care about the mental strife and struggle with which assistant Xu was going through, all her attention was on the wind chime. Because she needed to have a proper grasp of the situation she has to carefully examine everything, she tilted her head here and there, so that she could take a proper look at the wind chime and finally came to a conclusion. " This wind chime is more than two centuries old."
