Chapter 120: Female Ghost
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The female ghost at the side seemed to want to say something to Hu Jing, but she was glared at by Shen Chun.
Puzzled and shocked, the female ghost wanted to say something but hesitated.
Hu Jing knew Shen Chi, so she lowered her guard. “Yes, but 1 can’t participate in this parent-child activity.”
Shen Chun asked very gently, “Why?”
Hu Jing lowered her head and said aggrievedly, “There’s no one in my family.”
Shen Chun felt a sense of pity. After a while, she said, “But you can’t go out alone to play. The teacher will be worried.”
In the end, Hu Jing followed Shen Chun back to school obediently.
When Shen Chi, who was looking for Hu Jing, saw Shen Chun holding Hu Jing’s hand and running over, he said happily, “I won, I won!”
When Hu Jing’s teacher saw her return, she was finally relieved. “Xiao Jing, you’re finally back.”
When Hu Jing saw that her teacher was so worried about her, she felt so guilty that she was about to cry. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Xie. I shouldn’t have gone out to play alone.”
Mrs. Xie caressed Hu Jing’s head gently as she comforted her, “It’s okay. It’s good that you’re back.”
Mrs. Xie held Hu Jing’s hand, for fear that Hu Jing would leave her sight again. “Alright, alright. The game of hide-and-seek is over. Let’s compete now, okay?”
“Okay.”
Mrs. Xie said, “We’re going to a mountain 10 kilometers away from the school for a picnic. The school has already arranged for someone to send it in. Now, let’s see who reaches the destination first. There will be a prize.”
Then, the children began to pull their parents along as they ran. However, after running for almost a kilometer or two, they started to walk slowly.
Shen Chun kept staring at the female ghost beside Hu Jing. The female ghost also knew that Shen Chun could see her, so she didn’t say a single word along the way.
Shen Chi had always been very energetic. When he was only one or two kilometers away, he actually started to run with Fu Shi and Shen Chun.
Fu Shi could run, but Shen Chun couldn’t run with them. Instead, she walked behind them slowly.
They didn’t know if the results would be counted as the results of the entire team if the two of them arrived first.
At the thought of this, Shen Chun gritted her teeth and tried her best to reach the picnic location as soon as possible. Otherwise, Shen Chi would think that she was a burden.
When Shen Chun arrived, Shen Chi was already eating beside the barbecue stall. However, he was only eating the fruits and snacks placed on it.
Seeing that there were not many people, Shen Chun finally heaved a sigh of relief.
When Shen Chi saw that Shen Chun had arrived, he quickly gave her a glass of water. “Sister, have some water.”
“Thank you, Little Chi.” Shen Chun took it and took a big sip without hesitation.
After drinking it, she realized that there was only a third of the bottle of water left. Shen Chun recalled that she had only drunk a third of it just now, but there was only so little left.
Shen Chun looked up at Fu Shi, who was sitting on the grass. When she realized that Fu Shi was looking at her, she immediately understood something. When she looked away, she happened to see Hu Jing.
Shen Chun gave the female ghost a look, signaling that she wanted to talk to her alone.
Then, Shen Chun and the female ghost came to a relatively quiet place.
Shen Chun warned the female ghost, “Do you know why that girl can see you?”
The female ghost shook her head and explained, “I’m not sure either. I was also very puzzled. I was by her side for so many years and could only talk to myself. But recently, she started to be able to see me. I was just too happy. I really don’t have any intention of harming her. Please believe me.”
Shen Chun naturally knew that the female ghost didn’t mean to harm Hu Jing, so she only advised, “1 didn’t think that you would harm her, but you’ll kill her if you stay by her side.”
The female ghost didn’t understand, so she asked Shen Chun, “Why? 1 can protect her even when I’m by her side. Why would 1 harm her?”
Shen Chun looked at the tall mountain in the distance as she said, “Ghosts have sinister energy, and humans have Yang energy. Regardless of whether the sinister energy on your body is heavy or not, it will affect people’s lifespan. Moreover, Hu Jing is still a child. If she can see you, it means that her Yang energy has been affected by you and is no longer enough to maintain her current state as a human.”
“What…” The female ghost froze for a moment before she was overcome with self-reproach. She believed Shen Chun’s words without a doubt. “Then, is there a way to let her recover?”
Shen Chun looked at the female ghost very seriously and said, “Leave her..”
