第80章 看见逝者(゜皿。)

“Calm down,” Hong Die said sternly, “What have you encountered here?”
Miao Jiu paused for a moment, then his face turned pale with fear, his pupils tightening in an instant!
“I encountered a monster…” he murmured.
“Monster?” Hong Die could hardly believe her ears, “There can’t be monsters in the underworld, and there shouldn't be any monsters in our world either.”
“Really, I'm not lying to you!” Miao Jiu affirmed, nodding vigorously, “It looks very scary, with a giant baby's head on top...”
Hong Die fell silent, and Yu could tell she was deep in thought.
“What else did you see?” Hong Die asked again, her attitude towards the Miao siblings always quite stern.
This perfectly beautiful woman was cold as ice to others, yet gentle like water to herself, making Yu's heart soften unconsciously.
“I also saw…” Miao Jiu's expression showed a hint of sadness, “she…”
“Who?”
"No..." his voice was very small, very small.
Hong Die frowned and looked at Yu after hearing this.
“Is Xun Fu here?” Yu asked, “Didn't she die?”
“Yes. It’s her soul,” Miao Jiu looked up, his expression unexpectedly sorrowful, “The way she bled from all seven orifices, I suspect she has indeed been demonicized.”
“Let's hurry and leave!” Hong Die stood up and told Miao Jiu, “The longer we stay here, the weaker your physical body becomes. If we delay any longer, you won't be able to return at all.”
“I don’t really want to leave anymore…” Miao Jiu looked up, sitting on the ground and scooting her body towards the bottom of the water pool, “If I leave, I won’t be able to see her. Even though she has become like this, whether it’s due to being demonized or losing her spirit, I still want to be with her…”
Yoo felt that this pair of siblings was simply beyond help.
“Can you be a bit more clear-headed?” Hong Die said angrily, crossing her arms with a look of disgust. “She’s no longer thinking like a human; her staying in the underworld has a hidden purpose. You can’t fall into her trap. You need to step out and wait for her to appear in the upper world again, then let Yoo help her wash her soul and reincarnate. Do you understand?!”
“But if that's the case, I will never see her again.” Miao Jiu said, his big manly eyes filled with tears once more, “I really miss her... My sister made an unforgivable mistake without my knowledge. If I had known earlier, if I had detected my sister's abnormalities sooner, I could have stopped all of this. I could have changed her life, and her..."
“Now is not the time for your repentance.” Hong Die interrupted him coldly.
As for everything Miao Yao did to Xun Fou, Yu had only briefly mentioned it to Hong Die, so she had always had a poor impression of the Miao siblings.
Hong Die believes that even if the death of the siblings' mother was the fault of Xun Fu's father back then, Xun Fu's father has already received the punishment he deserves. Xun Fu should not bear the burden of his father's mistakes, and Miao Yao should not have tormented Xun Fu for ten long years!
“You don't understand……” Miao Jiu sighed deeply.
“Get up for me!” Hong Die became increasingly angry. She reached out and forcefully grabbed Miao Jiu, pulling him up from the ground!
However, at that moment, a voice came from outside the bathroom door—
“If he doesn't want to leave, then let him stay.”
昱浑身的汗毛都炸了起来！
If he wasn't mistaken…
It's not someone else, but Xun Fu himself!
Yu and Hong Die turned around at the same time, and the three pairs of eyes fell on the figure at the door!
"No..."
Miao Jiu was pleasantly surprised, his voice hoarse, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Although Yu had prepared for the possibility of encountering Xun Fou here, he was still rendered speechless when Xun Fou appeared in front of him in his normal human form!
"Are you Xun Fu?" Hong Die turned to face Xun Fu.
Yu couldn't tell the color of Xun Fu's clothes, but it seemed similar to the long dress she wore that day on the cliff. She looked just like that day, with her long black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, bangs that reached her eyebrows, and that strange black mole located just below the tail of her right eye.
Her gaze was exceptionally cold, yet she appeared human.
Before Yu and Hong Die could say anything more, Miao Jiu, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly leaped up and lunged at Xun Fou!
Then, Xun Fou was as insubstantial as air, as Miao Jiu passed through Xun Fou's body and grasped at nothing.
Yu instantly understood; she was still a soul, visible yet intangible—dead was simply dead.
“Xun Fu, go to where you should go.” Hong Die was not at all intimidated, just as she had commanded Miao Jiu earlier, now she was commanding a deceased person.
荀否没有说话，异样的眼神淡淡地瞥了一眼洪蝶。
```htmlMiao Jiu cannot touch the woman he loves, but it feels like he is right beside her soul, watching her and listening to her voice; that alone makes him very content.
"I'm sorry, no... There are many things I never got to say to you. Could you please let me speak..." Miao Jiu's demeanor is almost comical as he confesses to a wandering spirit.```
“Don't try to tug at the heartstrings of a vengeful soul, okay?” Hong Die mocked him, trying to bring him to his senses.
However, only Yu knew that Miao Jiu had reached a point of no return.
“Why didn't I kill you with a single blow back then?”
Xun Fu spoke again, her voice hollow and indifferent. What should have been a question from her lips turned into a statement.
“No,” Yu, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, “I have met your grandmother...”
Xun No was taken aback, her gaze shifting to Yu. Yu looked back at her tenderly, reminiscent of that night under the starry sky, with a slight smile on his lips, his deep, affectionate eyes filled with countless stars...
However, Xunfu didn't speak, and she kept staring blankly at Yu.
“I've been to your house too,” Yu said, feeling a bit uneasy under her gaze, “Your grandmother was still very healthy back then.”
Xun Fei remained silent, seemingly waiting for Yu to continue speaking.
“Hmm… your grandma…” Yu scratched his nose, smiling adorably, “She actually loves you very, very much, really loves you.”
“What does it have to do with you?” Unexpectedly, Xun Feng remained silent for so long before finally coming up with such a sentence.
Yu instantly felt that it was impossible to move a spirit of despair, but he continued to speak anyway.
“When I said goodbye to your grandmother, she entrusted me with something.”
Xun Fou's mole at the corner of his eye sparkled with a deep light, but everything in front of Yu was in black and white.
“She entrusted me to ensure the safety of her granddaughter no matter what happened.” Yu always smiled, his tone gentle, “But I wasn't able to do it; I didn't manage to pull you back when you chose to jump. I'm sorry...”
In that split second, Xun Foe seemed to have touched a sensitive spot, her anger surged, and she screeched in a piercing voice!
This sound was not human! It was eerily penetrating! Ready to shatter eardrums!
She suddenly transformed! She became startling and frightening! Completely not her normal appearance!
