Chapter 1411: No fate with children

actions and ahem snu snu..

*************

In the hospital ward, Zheng Baozhi was breathing heavily as she looked at Song Yan.

Her face was pale and her eyes were bloodshot as she looked here and there in the ward. It was as if she was worried that the ghost would pop out from anywhere at any second now.

"Do not worry, Madam Zheng. As long as I am here nothing will happen to you," Song Yan said to Zheng Baozhi.

"That's right, Baozhi. Master Song is here, she was the only one who could subdue the evil spirit, as long as she is here nothing will happen to you," Master Lai said to his wife while holding her hand tenderly.

Yuan Heng glanced at the two and sighed before turning to look at Song Yan who was called in a hurry as soon as Zheng Baozhi woke up.

She was afraid that Song Yan would be offended but to her surprise, Song Yan was rather calm as she stared at Zheng Baozhi.

As for the reason Song Yan was calm--

She was staring at the Death Aura that was hovering in front of Zheng Baozhi's forehead. Although it was not too intense, the aura was not light either. It was enough to tell Song Yan that this woman was headed to a brutal death.

However that did not concern her, she calmly retracted her gaze and said to Zheng Baozhi, "Are you feeling alright Madam Zheng?"

Upon hearing Song Yan's question, Zheng Baozhi shivered.

"It seems like you are not feeling alright," said Song Yan with a calm voice. "It's alright, I will return later."

No matter how much Zheng Baozhi hated the fact that Song Yan was standing in her path of success as an obstacle, considering her situation she knew that she couldn't act picky. Thinking of how this woman had subdued the evil spirit, Zheng Baozhi shivered and said, "W...Wait, Master Song. Is it true that you can subdue that spirit for me?"

Song Yan sat on the stool and narrowed her eyes before saying, "I can but the exorcism of the spirit requires some questions to be answered. If you tell me everything then maybe I will be able to exorcise this malicious spirit for you."

"Very well."

"How did you run into this malicious spirit? I am afraid to tell you this but evil spirits only target someone if they provoke them or ...." She narrowed her eyes, "They have a grudge with the person being haunted."

Song Yan was paying attention to Zheng Baozhi and noticed that the woman shivered when she heard the latter half of the sentence. Her eyes narrowed even more as she looked at the woman but did not say anything.

"How could Baozhi provoke such a dangerous thing?" Master Lai said with a calm voice however his expression was agitated as if insulted by the words that Song Yan said to his wife. "I didn't mean anything by those words," Song Yan however was calm despite the anger shown by Master Lai. "These are standard questions that any celestial master would ask. Of course, if they don't care about such things then there is certainly something wrong with them."

"I don't know. Maybe it was when I was kidnapped by the people of that village or it could be something else, I don't know," Zheng Baozhi seemed to be answering the question but at the same time she seemed to be hiding something.

"Master Song, can we take it easy? It seems like Baozhi is not doing well," Master Lai said out of worry for his wife.

Song Yan didn't care whether the woman was doing well or not. She had seen the malicious spirit sucked back inside Zheng Baozhi's body after she subdued it.

It only happened when either someone had touched a cursed box that held the grudging spirit or when --

They have eaten human flesh.

More like devoured completely.

"Master Lai, you were the one who asked me to come in a hurry. I never meant to barge on your wife when she was resting. Like I said, these questions need to be answered if you want your wife to get better. Unless she tells me how she provoked the malicious spirit, how will I find a way to exorcise the spirit?"

She then turned to look at Zheng Baozhi before adding, "Madam Zheng, I am sorry to tell you this but the spirit that is haunting you is not just a resentful spirit. It's a malicious spirit and seems rather cruel. If it's not exorcised it will definitely kill you."

Master Lai and Zheng Baozhi were already prepared when they heard Song Yan's words. However, they still couldn't help but tremble when they heard that the spirit was here to kill someone!

Song Yan glanced at Zheng Baozhi, whose lips were trembling with fear. She did not bother to deal with her politely and continued, "Usually speaking, the kind of spirit that is haunting you only appears in two scenarios. First, you opened a cursed object that locked this creature's soul. Secondly, if someone ate the person bit by bit when they were alive, that is to say, the person ate everything from the inside of the skull to the smallest of the toes. The first case is easy to deal with but the second one is not."

"If a person fed on the flesh of the person who died... I am afraid that the malicious spirit will not rest in ease no matter what."

Song Yan noticed the faint reactions of Zheng Baozhi as she stiffened and her face turned pale.

"Master what are you even talking about, Baozhi is so kind. How can she eat a person?" Master Lai felt that Song Yan was insulting Zheng Baozhi by even putting forth a condition

like such.

Song Yan calmly sipped on the glass of water. She let the water slide down her throat as she continued, "I never said that your wife ate a person. I was simply telling you in what scenarios such a haunting will happen."

"Of course, if your wife did not eat the flesh of a human, then this case is easy to deal with," Song Yan smiled at Zheng Baozhi whose face was pale and her lips were trembling.

"I. I didn't eat a human that is just terrifying," as Song Yan expected Zheng Baozhi to refuse.

"Then--"

"Actually I had an illegitimate sister, Zheng Baobei. She was the daughter of the maid of our house, however, when my father found out the truth, he accepted her as his daughter. The two of us were born with different fates, but I still treated her well, after all, it was just a matter of adding another bowl to the table. But.." she bit her lips as she continued with a heavy sigh, "However my half-sister slowly started to get jealous of my identity. The fact that she was an illegitimate daughter cannot be hidden from the world and she was criticized and mocked because of that."

"She blamed me for that, I understand that she was troubled. But it is not my fault that I was born with better luck than hers. However, Baobei did not understand such a simple thing. She wanted my life, my family and everything else including my husband."

"She was nothing but a shameless bitch!" Master Lai scowled and scolded Zheng Baobei, and it was then that Song Yan felt the spirit in her ring tremble. Another gust of resentment

washed over her.

"Don't say such a thing," Zheng Baozhi said to her husband but Song Yan noticed a slight satisfaction in her eyes. "Anyway, she tried to seduce my husband as we were born from the same father and took after him, we look rather similar. My husband almost fell for her trick."

"But when she didn't succeed she went ahead and filled the head of my eldest daughter with all sorts of lies," upon the mention of her daughter, Zheng Baozhi's gaze turned soft. "Because of Baobei, my daughter hates me and even went against me before eloping with a

lowly servant!"

"Daughter? You have a daughter?" Song Yan asked sharply.

"Not one but two," Master Lai said with a saddened sigh. "I have two daughters with Baozhi. It's just too bad that one of them was led astray by that shameless woman."

But how could this woman have a child? Zheng Baozhi was destined to be childless all her

life!

Her physiognomy was clear enough for Song Yan to know that the woman would never give birth to a child. So how could she have two daughters?

This was simply a miracle or....

Though Song Yan was not certain about a lot of things, there was one thing that she was

certain about this woman was indeed Zheng Baozhi but the one who stayed and married Master Lai was not Zheng Baozhi but Zheng Baobei!

Even the studio and the many awards that were won by Zheng Baozhi belonged to Zheng Baobei as this woman had no fate with fortune and fame.
