The Wife of a Ghost - C300
“Yan Nuo!”
I stood up, clutching my mother’s body. My eyes were a little red, and there was a bloody glow to everything I looked at, including the people who were pushing Zi Sang Yu away from me.
As soon as I released my power, I activated a barrier around me to stop Zishan Ming, “Your sister needs you, don’t look for me anymore.”
Zi Sang Ming didn’t want to forcefully open the barrier around me to prevent it from hurting me, but seeing that I was about to turn around to leave, he didn’t care about that anymore. He forcefully tore open the barrier and hugged me, “Relax, Yan Nuo, relax. You’re the Raksha of the God Tribe, you can’t fall. Yan Nuo, wake up!”
I struggled as much as I could to hear what Zishan Ming was saying, but I didn’t want to do it seriously. So what if Rakshasi, how about the God race, how my mother died, and the person I loved the most, I killed myself in front of my eyes just like that, and my man even tried to explain to his sister, ‘This is your sister-in-law, you should let me go comfort her.’ And his sister didn’t want to hear that.
From god to man, I admit that my actions have failed, not only has my body become human, even my emotions have become human. Right now, not only am I impure, my heart is also very restless. Zi Sang Yu, stop staring at me, do you know how much I want to kill you because of your earlier “six clear roots”?! It was my mother who died! Do you know how important it is for a person who has been alone for thousands of years, a mother who is connected to a bloodline?
My mother’s body started to stiffen, and started to disintegrate due to being contaminated with the flower pollen. In less than five minutes, I didn’t even get my mother’s corpse.
My arms were still wrapped around my mother, and my arms were bent in an attempt to feel the same weight again as before, but it was impossible, and I knew it was impossible. The lost person, the lost feelings, I can never get them again.
I let go of the barrier and let Zishan Ming’s finger gently tap on my forehead. A stream of ice-cold energy flowed into my body from the spot he touched, and the restless blood in my veins finally settled down. The blood-red light before my eyes also slowly recovered.
I said to Sang Yu, “I don’t want to see you again. You can leave.”
She raised her head to look at Sang Ming, then she stomped her feet as if she was a little girl complaining in a spoiled manner, “Brother, you saw it, he’s threatening me now, and he hasn’t even married into the King of Hell Palace yet, what should we do in the future!”
Zi Sang Ming’s brows sank and he pulled me into his embrace. He shouted angrily at Zi Sang Yu, “Hurry up and f * ck off!”
Just a moment ago, when her elder brother was fighting with her, he used every move he made to let her win. He could feel that her elder brother’s feelings for her were the same as before, but now, he actually turned against her because of my words.
“You want me to scram? I’m your sister, you’ve protected me for a thousand years, and now you’re telling me to scram because of this person! Zi Sang Ming! Before he could finish his last sentence, the Black and White Impermanence pulled down an iron net around Sang Yu’s body and dragged her away.
The surroundings quieted down once again.
Zi Sang Ming tore open the space and took me back to the Taoist temple.
It was still that same room, the same imperial concubine bed. I lay on the bed and cried until the tears couldn’t come out. The pain in my eyes finally stopped.
Zishan Ming hugged me and patted my back gently. It was as gentle as my mother’s actions, but it was no longer her scent.
Actually, even now, I still can’t accept the fact that my mother has passed away. I always thought that she was only injured because she was angry and didn’t want to see me again. However, there would always be a voice that would remind me that your mother’s death was all your fault.
“Zi Sang Ming, do you think mother’s soul has already reached the Underworld?” Will she be waiting for me in the Underworld? ”
It was as if a huge burden was weighing down on my heart. My entire being was on the verge of collapse, and the only thing that could alleviate my mood was that my mother’s soul had already reached the underworld. Perhaps, she would already be properly taken care of by the Black and White Impermanence.
Zishan Ming was silent for a moment. It was as if he was nodding his head. It was as if he was hesitating. I leaned against his chest and didn’t see his expression. I could only hear the strong heartbeat coming from his chest.
It was dawn and I was tired from crying. I was drowsy in Zi Sang Ming’s arms and didn’t think about why he didn’t bring me back to the underworld or why he didn’t answer my question.
There was a knock at the door, and Dad’s voice came through, muffled by the door, “Nono, are you here?” “Shen Ta said that you guys went out, and even said that your mother ran away from home. I want to ask if you guys found her?”
I woke with a start, and all the moments I had wanted to fall asleep to escape came back to me again, my hands full of blood, my mother lying at my feet, her eyes open.
“Mom!” I lost control of my voice and let out a gasp of surprise. It was this life that had revealed our presence in the room.
My father had only been trying to ask, but now that he heard a sound inside, he knocked on the door and immediately became anxious. “Nono, open the door. I want to talk to you for a bit, Nono.”
Zi Sang Ming frowned and lowered his head to look at me. He said: “What do you want to do?”
He wanted to ask me if I was going to keep it a secret, or if I was going to be honest. If I keep this secret, my father will always be kept in the dark, and she will not be able to attend my mother’s funeral. He will always think my mother is still alive, and he will always wait with hope.
My father will be sad, he will be sad, but perhaps after a long time he will be able to recover and live again as my only family in the world.
In comparison, perhaps the first scenario would be less harmful to the father, but it would still have to wait with hope, and a book might be even more of a slow torture to the father. No matter how painful it was to wait for death to come, the amount of pain would be superimposed on one’s body.
After about five minutes, I went to open the door and let my father into the room.
I let Zishan Ming leave, there were many things to deal with in the underworld now, and I was afraid that if he was by my side, I wouldn’t be able to firmly continue on with the matter.
People were like this, very strange, many times the same thing happened, if there was someone beside them to support them, they would not be able to hold on, they would be in pain, they would have a nervous breakdown, and if there was no one beside them, they would actually be strong enough to think they were suffering from schizophrenia.
“Nono, tell me quickly what happened to your mother. Had she been in a car accident? Had he been hospitalized? “Child, tell me quickly!” Dad squeezed my hand and blurted out the worst he could bear, but the truth was worse than I’d expected.
He just looked at me with hope in his eyes, wanting to relax after I said it, just like how I pretended to be disappointed with a 100% test paper, and how when my dad started to comfort me, saying that everything would be fine, everything would be fine, then happily took out that 100%, laughing out loud and saying, “I’m lying to you.”
But this time, I’m going to let you down.
“I’m sorry, Dad. I didn’t protect Mom properly. My mom passed away.”
The power in my hands suddenly relaxed. Father looked at me in a daze. “You, what did you say? Your mother died? Yan Nuo, you lied to me, right? “Do you still want to lie to me like how you lied when you were young? Did your mother become angry because I supported you to be with Sang Ming? She didn’t want to see me yet, so she wanted you to lie to me?”
Dad laughed as he spoke. The wrinkles at the corner of his eyes started to spread, and his tears started to spread. “You lied to me, right? Yan Nuo, you’re not a good boy.”
“Dad!” I wanted to make all of this into a lie. I felt so much pain in my heart that I panicked and hugged him, trying so hard to talk to him, “Dad, listen to me, Mom already left, you don’t have to be like this. I’m only family now, Dad, don’t scare me!”
Finally, my father calmed down and stopped crying or laughing. He patted me on the back and said, “Yan Nuo, good child, get up.”
I sat up straight, but kept my hand on his arm. Mom’s death had been a huge blow to me, and I didn’t know what Dad was going to do now, so this was all I could do to prevent it from happening.
I, I know, I know your mother doesn’t want us anymore. This old lady was like this before, she was very selfish before, she wanted to do it once, when she was going to marry me, oh right, you still don’t know about this, your mother ran away from home when she was married to me, it can be said that she ran away with me when she was married to me.
“That year, your mother was just this old with you, and was a girl with a lot of personality. I liked her personality, but her family didn’t agree to stay with me, saying that we were at odds with each other and would treat our children badly in the future, that their children would be born with the constitution, that they wouldn’t live long or live lightly, that they would spend their entire lives with ghosts.” My father stroked my head, and said very softly, “I really didn’t think that what I said before would become true.”
“Yan Nuo, can you blame Dad now? If I had given up being with your mom after hearing those words, you wouldn’t have been born, and all of this wouldn’t have happened.”
I shook my head. “I don’t blame you, I don’t blame you. You are my loved ones, my family.”
Dad looked out the window and saw two sparrows jumping up from the branches into the treetops. The swaying of the branches caused the shadows in the room to sway slightly. Dad suddenly sighed and said to himself, “Mom, are you leaving now?” “Wait for me, I’m looking at the child, so I’ll go with you.”
Before I could finish my sentence, my heart tightened, “Dad, what are you talking about? Mom is already dead, who are you talking to, Dad? “Dad!”
