Song Shuhang wore a smile on his face, and operated his brain at full speed. Which was the best way to reply to Senior Sister Ye Si’s question?

Should he tell her the truth?

This development had been too unexpected. Who would have thought that this ‘holiday residence’ that Venerable White had casually found would turn out to be the old Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion… and now, Senior Sister Ye Si had recovered part of her memories due to these old ruins.

This matter that Pavilion Master Chu had concealed for all this time was uncovered just like that.

“What am I? Song Shuhang, am I a resentful spirit?” After seeing that Song Shuhang didn’t reply to her question, Senior Sister Ye Si’s heart skipped a beat.

According to her memories, she had died in a tragic manner. The whole Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion had been involved in an unexpected calamity and wiped out. As such, one could easily imagine how great her anger and hate would have been at the moment of her death. Therefore, the possibility that she had turned into a resentful spirit due to all that hate and grief was pretty big!

“No, you aren’t a resentful spirit,” Song Shuhang said in a gentle voice, and tried to comfort her. At this point, it was better to tell Senior Sister Ye Si the truth so as to avoid her indulging in flights of fancy. Pavilion Master Chu couldn’t blame him given the circ.u.mstances.

Thereupon, Song Shuhang replied, “Ye Si, you are a ghost spirit.”

“A ghost spirit?” Ye Si was dumbfounded.

“Yes, you are ghost spirit. You aren’t an ordinary ghost or a resentful ghost. Therefore, you don’t need to worry too much about it,” Song Shuhang replied.

After being temporary at a loss, Ye Si’s tears fell like rain. “A ghost spirit… isn’t that the same as being a ghost? I’m still dead and still a type of ghost!”

She was originally planning to get married to Song Shuhang, and the two of them had even started to build up their relations.h.i.+p.

But now, she discovered that she had already died and turned into a ghost… what was going to happen to their love relations.h.i.+p?

“No, no. Your circ.u.mstances are somewhat special,” Song Shuhang explained. “As far as I know, you aren’t an ordinary ghost spirit, either. How can I say it… although you possess the const.i.tution of a ghost spirit, you are… human? I’m not sure how to say it clearly, either. But you are different from an ordinary ghost spirit. At the time of your death, that ghost spirit that was handed down in your family from generation to generation used a special technique to get ‘pregnant’ and give ‘birth’ to you. Therefore, you should be something like a half ghost spirit.”

Ye Si opened her eyes wide and had an incredulous expression on her face.

The ghost spirit got pregnant, and then gave birth to her?

Song Shuhang continued, “Such being the case, the current you shouldn’t really be a ghost spirit, but a person that was brought back to life through a ghost spirit with some special means.”

Ye Si stretched out her hand and gently wiped her tears away.

Afterward, she absent-mindedly stood in place, and tried to make sense of the things Song Shuhang told her.

In the memories she’d recovered, there was indeed a mysterious ghost spirit in her family, and this ghost spirit was surely handed down from generation to generation. Little did she expect that it would be precisely this ghost spirit that would ‘bring her back to life’.

But regardless of that… she was still a ghost in the end!

After pondering for a short amount of time, Ye Si raised her head and expectantly looked at Song Shuhang. “Shuhang… do you think I can give birth to a child in my current state?”

“…” Song Shuhang.

Without waiting for Song Shuhang to reply, Senior Sister Ye Si faintly sighed, and said, “I get the feeling that it won’t work. It should be impossible to procreate between different species, right?”

Song Shuhang said, “I think there might be a chance if we find that ghost spirit that was handed down in your family from generation to generation. After all, it gave birth to Senior Sister Ye Si.”

Nevertheless, Senior Sister Ye Si shook her head. That ghost spirit handed down in her family had already left, and if they wanted to find it, it was easier said than done. In addition, when that ghost spirit got pregnant and gave birth, it didn’t give birth to a child! It was a technique to preserve one’s life, bringing them back to life. Even if she were to learn it, she couldn’t give birth to children!

Senior Sister Ye Si fell into depression.

Song Shuhang was also worried. How could he cheer up Ye Si? If he had to be honest, he felt that he couldn’t do something as scary as impregnating a ghost spirit.

Was it possible that he would have to resort to those cla.s.sic lines such as ‘Don’t worry, we will surely find a way, and everything will get well…’ that not even he believed in to comfort Ye Si?

But what was the use to comfort her like that?

Just as Song Shuhang was in deep thoughts, Ye Si suddenly wiped her tears away and changed the subject on her own initiative. “Right. Shuhang, when I arrived here, I heard the other fellow daoists say that your ghost spirit disappeared, is that true?”

Ye Si was a strong woman. Although she would frequently cry due to the ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯ she studied, her determination was very strong. Still, discovering that she had already died had been too much of a shock, and she needed some time to accept this fact.

“It didn’t exactly disappear. The contract between the ghost spirit and me is still there, but the ghost spirit was sent to some special dimension, and I can’t sense its presence anymore; the ghost spirit can’t sense my presence, either. However, I will find it one day,” Song Shuhang said firmly.

“Hmm.” Ye Si nodded her head.

Then, she took a deep breath, and rubbed her cheeks to pull herself together.

She needed some time to accept the fact that she was now a ghost spirit.

Just as they were discussing, the door of the room was pushed open.

“Shuhang, did you wake up? Today, we will have to shoot several unfinished scenes. Then, we will leave Senior White’s holiday residence and proceed toward our next filming location,” Yu Jiaojiao said happily after pus.h.i.+ng the door of the room open and coming in.
