198: I Want to Go Home

I Want to Go Home

In reality, it was not that humans could not see ghouls. However, it was not a good thing that one could see them.1

Take her situation as an example. She was weak and could not get close to her family because she saw something that she should not.

Apart from that, she would be scared every now and then.

Those ghouls had no sense of direction. They could float and fly, bashing around. Now that she was getting better at talisman inscription, her health was much better than before. When she was young and could not defend the ghouls' power, she would occasionally get possessed.

Naturally, it only happened a few times.

The Wei couple looked pitiful.

"We're… sorry for our daughter that we got her to marry into such a family. No matter if we can see her or not, we're happy to know that she will enter reincarnation. About the Zheng family…" Master Wei's eyes looked ruthless. "Zheng Lusheng can't be pardoned as he murdered someone. However, the rest of the Zheng family members are guilty as well. Don't they know their own son? Especially Old Man Zheng, no wonder he had been unwilling to see me since my daughter married into the family. He knew what was happening, so he was feeling guilty!"

Master Wei added, "Our Wei family can make candles as well. We can just pick up the business from now on. We'll never let that family take advantage of us again!"

If not for his daughter, he would not have let go of half of the family business!

He had raised an ingrate because of that, while his daughter had passed away. It was too late to say all that.

His wish was to manufacture candles as well in order to make more money. He would contribute to society so that he could gather good karma for his daughter.

Xie Qiao merely nodded after hearing what Master Wei said.

She was hesitating as she looked at the good stuff in the box. She wondered if she could offer them a package…

Living humans usually could not see ghouls. However, it would be… different if she, the expert, was present.

However, there would be side effects if one were to see ghouls. The severity depended on the individual. Some people were brave and had strong Yang energy. Nothing would happen to them even if they saw ghouls. Some would have nightmares easily, as well as problems with their health, after seeing ghouls.

Although Xie Qiao was hesitating, she still spoke upon noticing the duo's expressions. "You could see her one last time if you'd like to. However, there are many things to take note of. I'll give you guys the details, and you guys can decide."

Xie Qiao listed the side-effects of seeing ghouls one after another.

There would be many spirits on Winter Clothes Day. Thus, one would not only see ghouls once. At least, they would not have peace on that day as they would be seeing ghouls all day.

There were all sorts of ghouls. Some had died properly, where they looked nothing different from ordinary people. Meanwhile, some had died devastatingly. They were so disgusting that one would not be able to eat. Ordinary people could hardly bear that.

However, the Wei couple looked at her with surprise as soon as she said that.

They agreed without hesitation.

The payment was included in the small box, so Xie Qiao did not charge extra.

Now that Ms. Wei's spirit's dying wish had almost been fulfilled, whereby she was only left with reincarnation, those ghouls that were secretly watching her were excited.

They began to queue upstairs in an orderly manner.

Zhao Xuanjing heard the bell beneath the signboard ringing non-stop. It sounded very creepy.

Meanwhile, Xie Qiao ignored him after sending off the Wei couple. She went upstairs directly. Upstairs… was for staff only.

He was not a staff member.

"You're the spirit who has been following the Crown Prince?" Xie Qiao waved at the spirit after seeing it floating from downstairs, "Do you have a dying wish too?"

The spirit was rather lost.

However, its mind was now clearer as it became familiar with the smell here. "I-I want to go home…"

It was another female spirit. She was dressed in imperial clothes, and it was difficult to tell whether she was a maid or a consort. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were empty.
