Song Yan did as she said, she kept a tab on the channel and then waited for the owner of that suspicious cooking channel to come online. Since this cooking channel was more of a yin network it was ultimately linked to the ghost who was acting from behind the scenes.
That night, Song Yan waited till three in the morning for the owner of the cooking channel to go online because she noticed that the ghost only turned her live streaming room around three to four in the morning when Yin energy was at its peak. However, even after waiting for another half an hour when nothing happened, she decided to go back to sleep thinking that the ghost was not going to come online.
She was about to close the app and leave when suddenly she heard a sweet voice coming from within her phone.
" Good morning my dears," the ghost spoke with a mesmerising voice causing Song Yan to sit back on the couch as she looked at the hands of the ghost woman who was showing off a small piece of flesh that looked extremely tender and fresh.
A bad premonition rose in Song Yan's heart and sure enough, she heard the ghost woman say, " This is the flesh of a young lamb, I butchered it just around the morning. It is tender and juicy, can you all see?"
Hearing the words of the ghost Song Yan's heart squeezed in worry as she knew that the ghost was talking about a young human child instead of a lamb.
With her eyes flickering, she continued to look at the kitchen and the belongings of the ghost woman before her eyes fell on the jade pendant that the woman was wearing. Song Yan narrowed her eyes as she tried to remember where she had seen this pendant before she had an inkling that she had seen this pendant some time ago but where?
It was only then did she remember that the female ghost in the Xi family house also had a red string tied around her neck, even though Song Yan did not see the egg-shaped jade hanging on that string, she was able to take note of the small burned mark on the red string.
"It is you huh," Song Yan murmured as she looked at the female ghost who was chattering away. However she did not waste her time thinking of a way to deal with Shen Yu who allowed this menace to roam freely on the surface of the world, instead, she decisively raised her hand and then focussed her attention on the screen of her phone with her hand raised in a half prayer motion.
She started to chant the spells that would break this yin energy while trying to focus on the evil energy that the ghost had used to create this channel.
Bit by bit, the spells hit the yin network causing the image of the ghost woman to flicker and blur before the channel stopped for good,
Song Yan looked at the black screen before using her phone to leave a message to Gu Chenyi, since this mess was created by Shen Yu, it was only right that she dealt with it as well!
….
On the other side, after a few days passed by Xi Junxi couldn't help but go looking for his elder brother who simply sent him away by saying that they had their hands full and couldn't be bothered by his nephew.
Hearing this Xi Junxi was really furious but Xi Sang was his only son and he couldn't let his only son die in the hands of the ghost though the celestial master said that there was nothing wrong with a human falling in love with a ghost.
Xi Junxi saw that something was very about Lady Yan, this morning she was cooking in the kitchen when suddenly she let out a scream and ran away from the house leaving behind a pile of minced meat. Xi Junxi did not know why but he felt something really off about the meat stored in their refrigerator.
What was more his son's sudden obsession with meat also scared him a lot. His son was simply getting more and more impatient and short-tempered, he will admit that his son was short-tempered to begin with but he was slowly getting even more worse with each passing day and this happened ever since the ghost woman arrived at their house.
Xi Junxi was running out of options, In the end, he could only rush to his sister's house thinking that she would be able to make their elder brother calm down but as soon as he arrived at his sister's house for the sake of getting help.
He found out that the entire family had gone missing while Xi Meiqing's mother-in-law who was sick died waiting for her son and daughter-in-law to return. The villagers told him that they waited for Xi Meiqing and her husband to return but when they didn't, they all buried the body of Old Madam as the corpse had started to rot on the second day.
Hearing this Xi Junxi's entire head started to buzz. Xi Meiqing did not return? How could she not return? In the end, he called his sister's phone and waited for her to pick up which she did—— though Xi Junxi was feeling something was terribly wrong, he still conversed with the woman to find out where she was and when the woman on the other line told him that she had gone to another town because her mother in law's health had gotten even worse and they had to admit her in the hospital.
Hearing this Xi Junxi immediately went to look for the grave of Xi Meiqing's mother-in-law and sure enough he found the freshly dug soil in the graveyard with Xi Meiqing's mother-in-law's name on the tombstone. Clearly, the woman on the other side was not Xi Meiqing as Madam Zhao was already dead because she couldn't get the necessary treatment on time, so whom did Xi Meiqing take away?
This time Xi Junxi started to panic but he did not dare to call anyone as he was worried that Xi Meiqing was harmed by the ghost in his family.
If she was killed by Lady Yan then he would never be able to look his father in the eye!
The more Xi Junxi thought about it the more scared he became because his sister went missing after the banquet!
The villagers saw Xi Junxi panicking and immediately asked him what was going on but Xi Junxi did not have the time to care about them. He immediately found an excuse and left the village where his sister lived with her husband and daughter.
When he returned home, he found Xi Sang sitting on the couch in the living room eating a lamb steak. If this was before Father Xi wouldn't have cared about what Xi Sang was eating but the more he looked at the steak, the more Xi Junxi thought that something was very wrong about that lamb steak.
Xi Sang noticed his father's gaze which was focused on his face and immediately raised his head to look at his father, seeing that his father looked panicked and pale, he couldn't help but ask, " Dad what happened to you? Where did you go early in the morning? Lady Yan cooked lamb steak for the entire family but mom said that she was feeling sick while you were not here, it was quite upsetting."
Xi Junxi had just returned from outside and the temperature inside the house was much lower than outside which caused him to shiver. When he thought about how Xi Meiqing had gone missing, he became increasingly panicked and so when he heard Xi Sang's admonishing words he glared at his foolish son and then snapped, " You only care about that wife of yours, have you ever thought about us?!"
" Dad, what are you talking about?" Xi Sang was confused when he saw that his father was scolding him. He was only trying to say that his father should have left after eating so why was he getting angry with him?
Father Xi wanted to say something but he stopped when he thought about Lady Yan, what if that woman heard him in case if he was to say something he shouldn't?
So he immediately shut his mouth and changed his words before saying, " Son, I want to invite Celestial Master Shen. She was the one who helped you and Lady Yan to get together and I think our family hadn't thanked her for something so big."
The reason Father Xi wanted to invite Shen Yu to the house was because he wanted her to exorcise Lady Yan no matter what the case. Even if his son was to threaten him, he would still ask Shen Yu to exorcise that ghost!
Xi Sang did not know what was going on in his father's head and thus he agreed with a nod before saying, " I will invite Master Shen."
Seeing that his son had agreed Father Xi heaved a sigh of relief but because he was lost in his thoughts he did not see a dark shadow glaring at him from afar.
