316: Probably dead

Probably dead

" Can you be serious?"  2

" I am being serious." 

Fu Yu Sheng rubbed his forehead feeling like he could no longer communicate with his wife anymore. At the same time he couldn't help but admire her sharp tongue, she surely learned how to put him back in his place quickly. After he was done making another breakthrough about his position in his wife's heart, Fu Yu Sheng suddenly asked with a serious face, " Yan'er, you just said that Wu Genji would make mistakes while trying to lure me. Do you mean to say that she would continue with her antics and why? What will she get after chasing me like this? I am a lot older than her and there are many men better than me around her age," 

" Demons are obsessive creatures," Song Yan thought carefully before she started explaining the matter clearly to Fu Yu Sheng. " Their greed knows no bounds when they are obsessed with something whether it's wealth, wine or something else.  When Wu Genji came in contact with that thing, she was young and her obsession with you was clearly a bit higher than what would be called normal after she came into contact with that demonic entity it only became even more fierce. If she hadn't signed a deal with the demon then she would have been able to get rid of the feelings that she has for you but now it is not possible." 

What was more the demonic entity has seen Fu Yu Sheng's Yang energy at the banquet. She must very much want to gobble it all up, this could explain why Wu Genji was coming so strong at Fu Yu Sheng, her actions were being driven by that demon! 

" What about the children then?" Fu Yu Sheng asked after he was done digesting the information that the demon was going to keep on targeting him till the very end. 

" Ah, I forgot to tell you about this," she turned to look at the ward that was getting more and more raucous and stepped away from the door for a few minutes. She deliberated about the matter carefully for a while and then with a solemn sigh said, " Most probably they were eaten by the demon." 

" What?" Fu Yu Sheng shot up from his seat but when he saw Fu Chen scrunch up his face like he was waking up, he walked to the other end of the room and asked in a hushed voice, " What do you mean by eaten?" 

Fu Yu Sheng hadn't even thought of this suggestion, at most he thought that the children were getting sacrificed at least then they will have something to bury and hold ceremonial rites for them but if they were eaten then what will their parents do? After hearing what Song Yan said, his eyes narrowed and he asked, " Didn't you say that they were being sacrificed and you even said that you didn't see any Yin energy or black cadaveric energy on Wu Genji, then how come now those missing children became her meals?" 

At that moment, Song Yan licked her lips and added, " When I was looking around the village for clues, I saw something weird. The villagers of the Qili village do some sort of ritual after putting three bowls of blood outside their houses, according to them if they put blood outside their houses then the entity does not disturb them but if they don't then the thing would enchant their family members and they will vanish into thin air at the dead of the night. In fact, these incidents started happening after Wu Genji entered the tomb and came out alive in that place. Tell me, Yu Sheng, how can a young girl come out of a place that was full of ghosts without a scratch on her face?" 

" Besides, from what I heard that girl stayed here for a long time and the villagers only vanished during her stay here. After she was gone,  were still enchanted whispers coming from the tomb and some villagers still vanished but the number of villagers vanishing was a lot less when compared to the time when Wu Genji was staying here. I believe that the girl made a pact with the demon, in exchange for human blood she is asking the demons to strengthen her life, I don't know where she is hiding the demon and how but one thing is certain everything is connected to her." 

Hearing his wife talk about the happenings of the Wu family, Fu Yu Sheng felt a shiver dance down his spine. " Then Wu Jin's nephew——-"

" Probably already been eaten by his aunt." 

Fu Yu Sheng closed his eyes feeling as if he was going to faint, he hasn't seen the young boy but he knew that Wu Jin liked this nephew of his a lot. " Wu Jin and his brother wouldn't be able to survive this… they really loved their nephew." 

Song Yan didn't say anything either, there was nothing to say anyway. She couldn't bring the dead from hell, could she? If the boy was barely alive it was a different thing but if his body and soul both were eaten then what can she do about it? Nothing! Even if the Wu family's only grandson was eaten alive then it was their own fault. Who asked them to dote on that woman so much? 

She thought that her husband will ask more questions but he simply asked her to take care of herself and return quickly. Though Fu Yu Sheng didn't say it outright even with his steely guts he wouldn't be able to deal with that thing two nights in a row, it would be better for Song Yan to come back! 

Song Yan didn't say anything else and promised to come back by tom noon. She ended the call and then walked towards the ward where she heard the brat Li Yiqian shout at the top of his voice, " You … I know that you all are trying to fool me! Ask Li Na and Shi Caihong to come out, this Laozi won't be scared!"
