Chapter 109 The Song That Her Mother Hummed.
Though Song Yan was curious, she wasn't stupid. Dealing with a ghost whose cultivation was this high would only lead to further troubles for her as for now it was better to lay low and observe, how this ghost achieved such a high level of cultivation. With her powers as a spirit master, she could sense that this woman ghost wasn't that old, if she hadn't been roaming on the mortal realm for long then how was it possible for her to reach the eighth level?
She carefully took off her spirit ring and walked over towards Madam Lin, from just one look she could see the fine quality of the cheongsam that Madam Lin was wearing. The woman was the owner of this studio and her life seemed to be comfortable enough but with the spirit clinging on to her body like a leech, it was impossible to see the aura of her luck.
" Good day, Madam Lin." greeted Song Yan as she stretched out her hand to shake Madam Lin's, the older woman hesitated for a while but then shook hands with Song Yan and with just the slightest bit of touch Song Yan was able to realise just how worse Madam Lin's condition was, since long ago letting a soul latch on to one's body was condemned yet Madam Lin has allowed this ghostly woman to latch on to her. Now her body was in a state where it couldn't be considered a human or a ghost, and if she continued like this —— Song Yan was sure that Madam Lin would surely face a lot of troubles in the future.
However, after shaking hands with Madam Lin, Song Yan let go as if she couldn't see the enraged ghost of the woman peering at her with those empty eyes right over Madam Lin's shoulders.
Once she was pushed out of the crowd, Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Though she wasn't able to find out much, she could still sense that the female ghost and this studio seemed to have an odd connection, her energy was brimming in everything and everywhere and the key to that female ghost was Madam Lin, the current owner of this studio.
She narrowed her eyes and slowly turned her head to take a glimpse at Madam Lin—— this woman knew that the ghost that was glued to her was not something that she should be in contact with so why was she letting it cling on to her?
Madam Lin didn't stay at the studio for long, she only watched a few takes and then she bid farewell to the drama crew. Song Yan watched her leave, it was as if she was trying to get away from something and that was when she realised that it was evening already and the ghost that has been latching to Madam Lin had let go of her. Instead, she was standing right beside her!
Song Yan drew in a shaky breath, she couldn't help but feel regretful. She should have been much more vigilant and shouldn't have let the female ghost suspect her. Though she has suppressed her Yin energy, she could feel it going out of control inside her, it was resonating with the Yin energy that was gliding off the female ghost.
" Sister Yan!" Just when Song Yan was thinking about whether she should get up and walk away, she heard Wang Yufan calling her, she realised that this was her chance to get away from the female ghost and immediately stood up. However, as she was walking toward Wang Yufan, she could hear the female ghost humming the song that her mother used to sing—— it was baiting her.
Trying to check whether she could see it or not. Smart.
" Sister Yan, are you okay?" asked Wang Yufan as he noticed the tensed expression on Song Yan's face. " You seem a little—— I don't know winded up?"
" I am alright." She could tell Wang Yufan about the things that wouldn't prove life-threatening to him but in the case of this little female ghost, she was afraid that she has to keep this a secret from him. " Are you done with shooting your scenes?"
He rolled his eyes at her question and wiped the sweat off his face with the wide sleeves robe that he was wearing. " Well, of course. Not only am I done with my scenes that I needed to shoot today but I am also done shooting an entire week worth of scenes thanks to a certain someone that I know."
Song Yan raised one brow as her lips curled up before she teasingly spoke, " And here I thought that you really liked your sister Lan."
" Sister Yan!"
Wang Yufan continued to whine about how she was teasing him throughout the time as they walked towards the parking lot outside the studio, he only stopped when Song Yan took out the talisman that she has promised him. " Thank you, sister, in law. You really have no idea how scared I was when my car exploded because of the bomb that bastard planted under my car, if it wasn't for you shoving this talisman in my hands who knows, maybe I wouldn't have been able to stand here and talk with you like this."
Even now Wang Yufan couldn't help but feel terrified at the thought of what would have happened if he threw the talisman back then, it was just his luck that he was too busy to remember about throwing the talisman away and headed straight to the driving circuit without changing his clothes, if not —— he shuddered, even the thought alone was enough to make him shiver.
Song Yan was amused as she watched his antics, though she could understand how Wang Yufan felt. A car accident wasn't something that should be made light of, she could still remember the bone-crushing pain when her car was hit by a truck and was dragged through the streets.
Even though her car didn't explode, she couldn't make it out alive in her last life.
