My Wife Is A Ghost Exorciser

" Condemned souls?" Fang Yanli was stupefied, she did hear Mistress Gu mention something about the condemned souls but she wasn't listening properly back then. Now that Song Yan has asked her a question that had to do something with Mistress Gu's teaching, she was a bit at loss.

Song Yan noticed how Fang Yanli couldn't answer her questions and narrowed her eyes, as she snapped her fingers and let her Yin energy that was always circulating her smack Fang Yanli in her face. " Idiot, if you keep going on like this, I am sure that even if I find a way to resurrect you, you will just die in two days."

Fang Yanli winced after being hit as she rubbed the spot where the whip-like energy have smacked her and somewhat aggrievedly whined, " I only forgot one small thing and you are acting like this, it's not like I forgot all of my master's teachings. Why do you have to be so angry all the time?"

When she didn't hear any answer from Song Yan, Fang Yanli opened her eyes and saw her looking over her shoulder in the dark. She followed her gaze and frowned when she didn't see anything, there was no evil presence so why was Song Yan looking at that spot, " What's wrong——-"

She was silenced when she noticed how serious Song Yan looked and instinctively retreated behind Song Yan.

Song Yan shot one last look at the thing that was following her and then she walked away without doing anything, even though she could still hear the soft rustling and crunching of the leaves behind her.

In everything, she seemed to have forgotten about the thing that was latched on to Madam Lin. Looks like that spirit was indeed suspicious of her and came to hunt her down, Song Yan clenched her fingers as she thought about how troublesome it was going to be to deal with this spirit whose cultivation level was on par with Fang Yanli.

And now that it has seen her talking to a spirit, it will definitely not make things easier for her.

" A spirit standing behind you with black eyes wants to eat humans bones," hummed the thing behind her, Song Yan felt goosebumps rise all over her skin. The spirit was using her mother's voice and humming the distorted version of the children's song that her mother used to sing to her when she was alive.

" After eating human bones, it will gobble your soul and burp in content…"

" A spirit standing behind you with black eyes wants to eat humans' bones…"

" After eating human bones, it will gobble your soul and burp in content…"

"A spirit…"

Song Yan turned her head, her eyes coldly glinting at the black figure that was standing almost behind it. Now that it knows that she could see it, there was no point in pretending that she couldn't sense it.

Not wanting to disrupt her plans she whipped out her ring and threw it in the air, the figure's head tilted towards the scythe with a creaking noise as Song Yan narrowed her eyes and said, " You can sense it right?" She said as she unleashed her Yin energy. " I might not be able to deal with you in a jiffy but I can deal with you, and I can if you push me too much."

She raised the scythe and pointed it at the spot where she guessed the thing's throat was and warned, " Sing that song again and I will show you how it feels to be terrified for your life."

The thing flickered and retreated, as it stepped in the moonlight, Song Yan was able to see the faint outline of a thin woman in her seventeen or sixteen. Her thin limbs and malnourished body were still rotting, as she walked, Song Yan could see black, ink-like tar slush out of those wounds.

Her eyes narrowed as she watched the figure retreat and vanish.

Once it was gone, Fang Yanli who was hiding behind Song Yan stepped out and stuttered, " W..What was that?"

Hiking a brow, Song Yan turned to look at Fang Yanli who was trembling and quaking like it was her first time seeing a spirit. " You are acting as if you are not dead."

" Well, nice to see that you care so much about me," Fang Yanli snorted as she flew up in the air and peered her head to an inhuman length to see whether the thing was gone. " She seemed to have been gone, but then again I can't sense her," with her brows furrowed Fang Yanli looked at Song Yan. " Why can't I see her?"

" Because that  thing's cultivation is the same as yours so it was able to hide its presence from you," said Song Yan as she cast one last look at the direction in which the thing vanished and turned around. " but it couldn't hide from me since my level is higher than the two of you."

Fang Yanli ignored the subtle put down as she asked, " but why did it come after you?"

Song Yan then told Fang Yanli about what happened at the set and about the thing that was latched on Madam Lin, " It seemed to be pretty possessive off Madam Lin and sees me as a threat, it came here to warn me off to not approach Madam Lin and interfere with what it is doing."

" You mean to say it sensed your yin energy even though you suppressed it?" gasped Fang Yanli

" No," Song Yan shook her head as her eyes flickered under the moonlight. " That spirit looks like it's really smart, instead of saying that it could detect my Yin energy, it seemed to have been testing me all along.  Because the Song house has arrays drawn all over, it couldn't have come inside, so it stayed far and kept an eye on me to check whether or not its suspicions were right."
