199 Soul Calming Jade 1 (1/2)

Jun Wu Xie had asked to leave Jun Gu's body in her courtyard. As she was unable to touch the Soul Jade, Jun Wu Xie could only inspect Jun Gu's physical body.

Her findings were beyond her expectations. Jun Gu's body seemed as though it had been frozen when he died, and all his organs were still completely intact, with no signs of organ failure.

Ten years, not ten days, it could only be due to the Soul Jade. Jun Wu Xie could not think of any other reason that Jun Gu's body could be so well preserved.

She knew from having touched the Soul Jade that it would exert an immense force to draw in unstable souls. When Jun Gu died, his body had been sent back to the Lin Palace immediately and was laid to rest the very next morning. That half of the Soul Jade had been placed in his mouth then and had stayed there ever since.

Jun Wu Xie had good reason to believe, that Jun Gu's soul had not completely dispersed, and could very well be trapped within the Soul Jade.

If she could locate Jun Gu's soul, and with his body in such a perfect condition, resurrection might not be an impossibility.

But she was faced with one big obstacle.

She could not initiate any contact with the Soul Jade, if she were to touch it, the Soul Jade would pull hard at her soul. A thorough inspection aside, she could not even see the back of the Soul Jade.

In regards to the Soul Jade, Jun Wu Xie could only look at it and the exasperation of only being able to guess was depriving her of much needed sleep.

Little Lotus toddled unsteadily on bare feet and came beside the coffin. He tiptoed and stretched his tiny form fully to peer in to look at Jun Gu's face. He looked at Jun Gu and then he turned to look at Jun Wu Xie, his doleful eyes filled with amazement.

”Mistress! This big brother over here looks just like you!”
