Chapter 1184 She is indeed dead
Ji Zhuang Guang trembled. He really did not want to die, he was at the prime of his age, and he wanted to get married and have kids. How could he accept death with a smile on his face?
So when he heard that there was a chance for him to escape the calamity, he calmed down a little and gulped his nervousness. Her words were like a warm caress to his terrified soul. After all, what normal person wouldn't be afraid of death? No living person would be willing to die and that too so young.
Ji Zhuang Guang was no exception and neither was Ji Nan. The two brothers looked at Song Yan as Ji Nan asked Song Yan in a shaky voice, " Master Song, I am willing to do anything. Just make sure that we don't die!"
" If you don't want to die then you need to avoid your sister. Don't go anywhere she asks you to come to, even if she threatened you with your life you need to stay away from her. Turn a deaf ear to her pleas because if you follow her then you will die," Song Yan said indifferently.
However, her words only caused the two brothers to become even more stupefied. For some reason, it seemed like the one who was going to kill them was Ji Ziyi, their little sister. But how was that possible? How could their little sister whom they have doted on ever since she was born kill them?
Song Yan could see what the two Ji brothers were thinking as their expressions were written on their faces. She sighed and then said, " Whether or not you believe me, I will suggest that you two think carefully before you make your decision. The reason I am telling you to stay away from your sister is because she will be the cause of your death. If not it will be a pity for such young and talented men like you two to die. It is up to you two in the end. As for Xue Ping, she will get her comeuppance sooner or later ."
Ji Zhuang Gang stiffened as he heard Song Yan say 'Xue Ping,' instead of Ji Ziyi. For some reason, he thought of his quarrel with Ji Ziyi where he asked her whether or not she was his sister. It was after this remark that Ji Ziyi suddenly glared at him with such a malevolent glare. Was… was that woman really not his sister?
His face changed drastically as he clenched his fingers. It was through great patience that Ji Zhuang Guang was able to squeeze out the question that he wanted to ask, " Master Song, what did you mean by Xue Ping? Who is she? Didn't you say that I was in danger with my sister but I don't know anyone named Xue Ping."
" You are a smart man, Master Ji. Do I really need to spell it out for you?" Song Yan questioned as she looked at Ji Zhuang Guang whose face became even more pale.
" But…But she is so like my sister," Ji Zhuang Guang was stunned. He did not want to believe that the woman whom he had been doting on was not his sister but someone else.
However, if he was being honest he did feel like something was really off about Ji Ziyi. He was just ignoring it as his heart was not willing to accept the truth.
But the more Ji Zhuang Guang thought of his past interactions with Ji Ziyi, the more apprehensive and suspicious he became. It was just that he was finding it hard to believe.
Song Yan sympathetically smiled at him before leaning forward and snatching the glass of whisky that was sitting in front of Ji Nan.
" The world of dark arts is complex Master Ji," Song Yan explained. " Those who do not practice dark arts will have a bottom line and they will not do certain things that are against the laws of heavens but there are dark arts practitioners who would do anything at the right price. No matter what you want," as she spoke she tapped on the glass of the water which had a clear liquid inside of it.
" See this? Let's take the glass as a human body and the water inside as the soul," Song Yan explained as she picked up the glass and drank the water inside it. She then placed it back on the table and poured the whisky inside it. " If I was a dark arts practitioner, I could even replace the soul inside the body of any human being. The shell," she tapped the glass with the back of her forefinger, " Shall remain the same but the content inside of it not so much."
Ji Zhuang Guang felt like the ground underneath him cracked as he slipped into the abyss. He could understand what Song Yan was saying, even if he was a fool there was no way he could deny the truth in front of him.
He stared at Song Yan who was calm and collected before stuttering, " T…Then what about Ziyi? What about my sister?"
Song Yan thought about Ji Ziyi's tragic state and sighed with a despondent look on her face. She looked at Ji Zhuang Guang and asked softly, " What do you think Master Ji?"
Ji Zhuang Guang felt his heart drop and Ji Nan on the other hand felt like his soul had left his body. The two brothers were scared witless by Song Yan's words. They already had a vague and terrifying guess when they heard that the soul of their sister was exchanged with someone else but the more they thought about it, the more their hearts ached. What kind of monster were they raising at their house?
Seeing that the two brothers were still trying to refuse to acknowledge the truth, Song Yan decided to shatter their fantasy, " Your sister is dead! She died at the hands of the woman who is now occupying her body! Stop denying it as nothing is going to change."
