My Wife Is A Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 145 Condemned Souls

" Was that a threat?" Song Yan chuckled as she typed a message and warned the Au family not to take off the talisman tonight. However, what was surprising was that the curse actually developed a consciousness… either that thing was hiding from the beginning or maybe it had something to do with the dark arts that the master was practising.

She narrowed her eyes before putting her cellphone back in her pocket and then turned around to pay for her groceries but surprisingly when she turned around, she saw that her son was sitting next to the cashier counter with all the groceries packed and bought. Stunned she looked at him and then at the cashier who was looking at his hands in surprise and in awe.

" Chen Chen did you pay for these?" asked Song Yan, not knowing what to say to him. Though she was happy that her son knew how to pay for the groceries, she was a bit worried about what Fu Yu Sheng might think when he sees the message from a small supermarket flashing on his phone screen.

Fu Chen nodded as he pointed to the cashier and said, " He said that if mommy doesn't pay for the groceries in the next five minutes then I have to pay for it… so I did."

Song Yan felt a tick in her temple as she looked at her son and then at the cashier. She didn't know how was she supposed to tell Fu Chen that it was just something all cashiers say to kids when their mother leaves them for just a few minutes, but of course, her son was something else, to think he used a black card to pay for his groceries.

Not knowing what to say to her son, she bought him back home and then busied herself with helping her sister-in-law in the kitchen.

That night Fu Chen who didn't have his uncle to save him from the cruel torture of his mother had to finish all the vegetables that he got in his bowl. Though Song Yan made it up to him by adding a few extra pieces of meat in his bowl, which slightly cheered him up.

After Fu Chen finished his dinner, he was too tired to stay awake and fell asleep soon after brushing his teeth. Song Yan brought him to bed and summoned Zhou Yuan. Since she was in an awkward phase with Fu Yu Sheng, it was better for her to avoid him at the moment and even without her sending Fu Chen to his apartment, Fu Yu Sheng's men would still take care of Fu Chen.

She pushed Zhou Yuan's face away from her as she sensed him getting close from her peripheral view and threatened lightly, " Keep on doing this and you will take another hindered years before you will be able to reincarnate."

Zhou Yuan pouted and flung his sleeves. "It's not my fault that master only remembers me when she needs me! Do you have any idea how much I crave you? I crave for you just as much a person with loose bowels craves for a toilet!"

Nose scrunched up, Song Yan shook her head. " Being compared to loose bowels, awesome. For that alone, you can stay in the ring for another hundred thousand years, Zhou Yuan."

" If it means to be with you, I am willing." He gushed with a wink and a flying kiss that Song Yan ignored as she walked to the balcony stuck a flying talisman on her shoulder and jumped off the railing without looking behind.

Her body descended at an incredibly fast pace but just as she got closer to the ground, the pace decreased and Song Yan straightened up and touched the ground with her feet with ease, then wiping the invisible dust on her clothes she walked away.

" Where are we going?" Since it was night and Fang Yanli haven't caught any ghosts to raise her cultivation level, Song Yan summoned her out of the ring.

And as soon as Fang Yanli was out, she looked around, stretched her limbs and started floating next to Song Yan.

" I have received a tricky case," said Song Yan as she walked towards the main graveyard of the city. " The curse that should have been easy to deal with seemed to have developed a sort of consciousness."

" A curse developing a consciousness?" Fang Yanli frowned as she swooped down and started to fly in front of Song Yan. " I have never heard of it before."

" Neither have I," said Song Yan with a frown. " I thought it was a simple case of just a little girl being cursed but looks like it is much more worse than that."

" Worse?" Fang Yanli frowned but then her gaze fell on the shrivelled body of an old woman that was dragging itself behind Song Yan while crawling like a worm and she flew back to reap the malevolent soul.

Song Yan waited for Fang Yanli to finish her job as she looked over her shoulder and saw Fang Yanli sucking in the old woman's soul inside her body. Her nose twitched in distaste as she saw the scene behind her … no matter how many times she sees a soul-devouring another, she still couldn't get used to it.

After Fang Yanli was done devouring the soul, she flew back to where Song Yan was and continued like she just didn't feast on another soul, " What do you mean by worse?"

"It looks like an experiment," said Song Yan with her eyes flickering wisely. " Like he snatched a bit of all the souls that he killed and then weaved them into something more, maybe the master that Yu Yize hired had another motive to take on the job and Yu Yize was just a smokescreen for him to get what he wanted."

Fang Yanli's empty eyes widened as she looked at Song Yan and asked, " What do you mean by this?"

Song Yan turned her head and looked at Fang Yanli before she calmly said, " Have you ever heard about condemned souls?"
