”Why can't I see my grandmother?”

Feng Tian Yu didn't answer me, he only took off his boots and got on the bed. He quietly slept on the bed, reached his arm behind my head and pulled me into his embrace.

”Stop asking, I don't have much time, hurry up and go back.” ”Let me hug you well. I can't go to see you often when you're following Xia Mingyuan. I just want to hug you right now. Naturally, someone will explain to you about your grandmother.”

I closed my eyes and didn't struggle. Feng Tian Yu's embrace was unexpectedly free of the cold. It was so warm that I couldn't help but close my eyes. I wanted to sleep a bit more and face those things a little later.

When I woke up again, it was already my own room. I could still feel Feng Tian Yu's aura, but this really was my room.

I took a look, this is Fucun's home, it seems Xia Mingyuan sent me to my own home.

It was already dark, and the curtains were drawn so that not even the moonlight could shine through. In this total darkness, I could do nothing but blink and cry.

At last I cried, the sour breath in my nose against my forehead, so sour that my tears fell like rain, drop by drop, on the pillow.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Mingyuan pushed open my door and walked in. After he entered the room, he turned on the lights in the room. I couldn't help but close my eyes due to the blinding light.

”You're awake?”

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him, indicating that I was indeed awake.

”Would you like something to eat? I think it's better than mine. Can I get you some? ”

Suhua also came to my room with a bowl in her hand. She put everything on the bed and suddenly asked loudly, ”Did you see your grandmother die so heartbroken? Does your grandmother die just to be sad and not prepare for revenge? Your grandmother has raised you for nothing after all these years. If I were to see your current appearance, even if you don't get killed by others, I would definitely be angered to death! ”

I immediately sat up in bed when I heard Suze's words. ”What do you mean? ”My grandmother isn't dead?”

Right! When Feng Tian Yu said I couldn't see my grandmother, did that mean my grandmother's soul wasn't in the Underworld?

I previously read from the book Xia Mingyuan gave me that the soul of a living person would go to the underworld after leaving the body. Although there might still be a portion left over from the effects of prayers, most of the soul and consciousness would be waiting in the underworld for a trial and reincarnation.

Xia Mingyuan held me down so that I wouldn't get too excited. He looked at Su Huayuan again, and then slowly said: ”You can say that, but it doesn't mean what you think it means. Xiao Yin, your grandmother and everyone in your village must have been trained in the Hundred Ghost Formation. ”

I was stunned. I knew that this Hundred Ghost Formation was definitely not ordinary, because Xia Mingyuan's current expression wasn't optimistic.

”Do you remember when we were on our way to Fucun and someone used ghost energy to summon ghosts?”

I nodded. At the time, I thought it was very sinister, but I didn't think it had anything to do with Fucun.

”I think that this person is someone that I know. He's the one that cultivates in the Sea Serpent Pill. Because the Hundred Ghost Formation and the Sea Serpent Pill are both control-type array formations, they control ghosts to attack.”

I was so angry that my teeth itched. Not only did this man want to harm me, Su Huaisha, and Shi An, but he also wants to kill so many innocent people!

”Then what did Miss Su mean when she said my grandmother didn't die?”

”It's not a common thing to practice the Hundred Ghost Formation. If you want the formation to be strong, it's only natural that you have to use ghosts with great grievances to accomplish twice the results with half the work.” These villagers and your grandmother died before their time in the underworld, yet they died. He must have caught them when their souls left their bodies. As long as we don't record the end of our lifespan in the Underworld, we'll be able to revive them after we break the Hundred Ghost Formation. ”
