Chapter 392 - 9.11 Second Blue Star - The Ghost Lady General's Husband?
The fight between the two Great Masters, Xie Yi and Shen Ling versus the Ghost Lady General is still ongoing. Meanwhile, Su Wan and the other two who were behind Xue Hua noticed that nothing was able to move to pass this extremely beautiful young man in front of them. He might look a bit weird eating sweets in the middle of the battle against the ghost but Su Wan and Yan Ke who had witnessed him burn those ghosts to ashes almost instantly knew that he is not an ordinary young man.
Su Wan stood nervously behind Xue Hua and waited for a long time until he could no longer hold it and initiate a conversation with the Young ancestor next to him.
"Young ancestor Xue, why aren't you doing anything yet? You are not going to help Master Yi and Master Ling?" asked Su Wan politely.
Xue Hua replied, "No. Didn't they say they wanted to capture her and eliminate her somewhere else? I am not needed there, why should I interfere. But I am interested in why she attached herself to your elder brother. Don't you know how powerful she is? She is a Ghost General with a title. It means her strength even before she died is there. This kind of ghost with cultivation isn't the same as those mindless ones, they would sometimes throw away their attachments to the material realm just to continue her cultivation. Based on her current cultivation, she is someone who has focused seriously on improving her strength. but why would she suddenly leave the tomb which is abundant with lies just to follow you guys out here to the city with scarce qi?"
The ghost lady general even after focusing herself in the battle never lowered her vigilance towards this young human filled with celestial qi on him. She knew that fighting against these two demigods is better than fighting that mysterious celestial lad. But she heard his word of wanting to know why she is attaching herself to Wang Liu.
She indeed answered the question. "He... That human looks so much like my late husband. He had died before me and thought that this might be his reincarnation but... no matter how much I peek I cannot see any past memories of this human." said the Ghost Lady General.
The fight suddenly halted as the Ghost Lady General spoke out to answer the little brat's question. For some unknown reason, this strong Ghost General is extremely afraid of Xue Hua. But even the person himself doesn't know why strong ghosts are afraid of him yet weak ones desire him.
Master Xie Yi spoke, "Lady it is not as if you don't know that after reincarnation every memory of the past is either sealed or erased. Or do you think Goddess Meng Po would give your husband an exception?"
SSSSHHHHHAAAAAS
These words garner him some scary glare from the Ghost Lady General.
"Yi, don't taunt her anymore," said Master Shen Ling.
The Ghost General calmed down when she saw that annoying demigod who wields the fire was pulled away by the other demigod. She then floated over and resides to the corner avoiding the others but her eyes were still on Xue Hua. She had the feeling that this celestial-like youth is able to help her find her husband.
She asked politely towards the youth, "Is he... is this human not really my Wang Fang?"
But unexpectedly the name Wang Fang surprised the only human lady in the room. The one who reacted strongly to the name Wang Fang is Mrs. Wang herself, the wife of the patient inside the room.
"Wang Fang? If it's this name then I heard of it before but... I am not sure if he is indeed the one you are talking about?" said Mrs. Wang was now holding the All-Seeing Talisman she took for her husband's third brother, Su Wan. She is indeed his elder sister-in-law, defying her means going against their elder brother.
Su Wan spoke, "Saozi, you know this Wang Fang? Please you can't joke around about this thing. That ghost would get angry if you are just saying things."
"Enough boy! I'm not silly. I know what I am saying. That's why I told her that I am not sure if this Wang Fang is the same Wang Fang she knows. The Fang I knew is one of the Ancestors of the Wang Clan. An Ancestor of A'Liu, my husband. All I know about Wang Fang is that among the ancestors of Wang, he remained in the Mansion waiting for someone to return. It was written to the records of the Wang that during the war from the old times, only this Wang Fang didn't leave the old mansion and stayed there until the end of his life. Waiting for someone who didn't return no matter how much he had waited. His love story is so romantic yet tragic that's why I remember his name.
Moreover, the Old Master says that A'Liu looks a bit like Wang Fang... so I thought... you know. Maybe... You know... do you think Wang Fang is the one she is looking for? Why don't you try going to the Old Ancestral Mansion of Wang Clan? M-Maybe he is still there... is he a ghost right?" said Mrs. Wang.
Her words sparked hope in the eyes of the Ghost Lady General. Her eyes no longer looked scary when she returned to her normal black eyes. Not that hollow one that was continuously bleeding. Meanwhile, the great masters thought that this might be the case. If a ghost remains in the place in which he was born and died, his soul wouldn't fade with all of the attachments around him. It is possible that this Wang Fang of the Wang Clan is indeed the husband of the Ghost Lady General.
"This Ghost Lady General hasn't completely turned into an evil spirit yet. There is still a possibility of reincarnation as long as her desire to see her husband is fulfilled. How about it lady? It is your choice." said Master Yi as he looked at the Ghost Lady who became a translucent and clean-looking ghost unlike her frightening self a few minutes ago.
The ghost lady floated in front of Xue Hua but her eyes were looking at Mrs. Wang as if she wanted to approach her but couldn't. Xue Hua who could somewhat know what she wanted to do suddenly spoke.
Xue Hua said, "If you wanted her to show the way to the Wang's Ancestral Mansion you should at least wake her husband first. You had bothered them for days at the very least you must at least return the life force you stole for that human before asking something else."
The ghost lady general nodded her head but never dared to meet Xue Hua's eyes. She floated over Wang Lius and returned his life force to him. The pale complexion on Wang Liu turned for better as his breathing turned stable. It didn't take a while for Wang Liu to open his eyes. He is full of energy despite sleeping for days.
On the bed, Su Wan, Yan Ke, and Mrs. Wang watch as Wang Liu opens his eyes and stretches his stiff arms, and even has the time to rub his tummy.
"Yawns~ I've just woken up. How come my body feels full of energy? Hmm~ Xiao San,? Lao Er? Honey~ why are your eyes red? Are you crying?" asked Wang Liu as he looked like he didn't know what happened to him while he was asleep.
Su Wan was already hugging both his elder brother and eldest sister-in-law with a smile.
"Dage! You finally wake up! Wuwuwu~" said Su Wan.
Wang Liu felt confused about everyone's reaction. There are also strangers in the room and the room he is in doesn't seem like his home.
"Oi! Watch your snot Xiao San! Lao Er, what the hell happened? Why are they acting like this? Did I die or something?" asked Wang Liu as he noticed that even the corner of his second brother's eyes was red. Only then did he realize that something serious must have happened after he sleeps that night.
Master Yi spoke to the Ghost Lady General floating beside him and said, "How is it? Is that man still your Wang Fang?"
"No~ he looks a bit like him but my A'Fang is a cultured scholar. He wouldn't act like a thug like this one. I made a mistake. I've been rude. Great Masters, Divine one please forgive this humble ghost." said the ghost lady who had the strength of a Ghost General.
Master Ling said, "Apology accepted. Let me help you get rid of the evil aura on you and your weapon. After that, we will accompany you to the Wang Ancestral Mansion and see if your husband is indeed there. But regardless of the result, we hope you keep your calmness."
The Ghost Lady respectfully responded, "I will keep my mind calm no matter what happens this time. If he is indeed not there then I can only go to the Nether World maybe, he is there waiting for me."
"Good. Then we will accompany you to the end," said Master Yi to the shot lady and noticed that the sun had longed set yet the little brat with them still hadn't gone home. "Huahua, how about you go home now. Ask your brother to pick you up..."
Xue Hua said, "Brother is out of town with Ya-gege. They received an annoying task from the Lou Clan. They will be out for three days this is the second day. This was the last time so they accepted it. After this, the Lou Clan will make a vow to leave us alone."
Master Ling murmured a chant and a paper human appeared out of nowhere, "This one will escort you home. Since your brother is not at home, be sure to lock all the windows and doors at night."
"Un~ I will," said Xue Hua then his eyes wandered on the ghost lady who kept her head lowered in his presence. Then he made a small lotus flower that is golden in color. It is made from his own qi and is filled with divine energy. He passed this to the two masters and said, "It might be helpful in case something happens. Keep it with you in exchange for the paper human, Grandpa Ling. You cannot reject it or I will go home without this paper human."
Master Ling sighed and accepted the lotus flower full of divinity. It could help with healing his and Xie Yi's energy and replace the qi they had used up during the fight. He knew that the little brat had noticed that they were controlling the output of their qi in preparation for their tribulation.
"Then... I will accept this. Sigh~" said Shen Ling.
Xue Hua smiled and said, "Okay I will go home now~"
"Be careful on your way home." Only then did Xue Hua leave the hospital followed by a human-like paper summon. In the eyes of ordinary humans, this paper human isn't that different from an adult person except its eyes were lifeless and dull. After all, it is nothing but a mere puppet for defensive purposes.
The two masters knew that the little brat is someone from that fallen Celestial Clan, Lou but he isn't pureblood and just an illegitimate child so the elders and the clan leader themselves treated them like dirt or tools that are indispensable. It just so happened that the current master of Lou Clan is the biological father of Xue Hua and Xue Yan. It was this same man who had disowned, now they had no longer connected to the Lou Clan but some elders still want to use the excuse of feeding them for a few years as a pretext of asking Xue Yan's help with the Exorcism job.
Even if they saw Xue Hua as a waste which made the clan members see him as such, Xue Yan was different as he was one of the most powerful Celestial Masters in the current generation of the Lou Clan. Sadly regardless of his strength, his background is still that of an illegitimate child because of this Xue Yan's standing is not that much different than that of Xue Hua. With the Xue Brothers being backed up by the Ou Clan and Yuelian Sect which Lou Ye had entered, the Lou Clan couldn't make heavy movements against the Xue Brother. So no matter how much Lou Lan hated Xue Hua, he couldn't directly act towards him, that's why he schemed instead.. Unfortunately, none of his plans had been successful.
