Chapter 411: Chapter 415: Pen Fairy (14)

In the disbelieving gaze of Shu Ya, Su Li’s figure gradually revealed itself in front of her.

She swiftly covered her mouth, afraid that a cry of alarm might spill out.

Then she abruptly turned her head toward the direction of the driver, her mind racing with thoughts of how to keep the driver from talking recklessly.

Such inconceivable supernatural phenomenon would scare any normal person.

In the moving car, someone suddenly appeared in the back seat...

Just thinking about it was frightening.

"Don’t worry, no one but you can see me."

Hearing the distinctive voice of the Beauty say this, Shu Ya immediately sighed with relief.

All the forced bravery she had previously mustered collapsed in an instant.

Shu Ya’s dry eyes revealed a pleading look, "It was the baby who asked me to find you, please, save him."

Even with Shu Ya’s pitiable appearance, Su Li didn’t immediately agree.

Instead, she said, "That Little Ghost Baby, it could be said he got what he asked for. He chose to stay by your side and naturally he was prepared to face any consequences."

Shu Ya stared disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend Su Li speaking such words.

"The baby said, you, you are the Lord Ghost Immortal...."

Su Li opened the Bone Fan and waved it a few times, her piercing gaze returning to Shu Ya with a smile, yet silent.

That kind of unmistakable, mocking smile made Shu Ya so embarrassed she just wanted to hide.

But in such a confined car, there was no escape. Shu Ya, driven to embarrassment and anger, even forgot her previous respectful address and said in a lowered voice, "The baby is innocent, how can you just stand by and watch him die..."

Su Li curled her bright red lips and her face grew cold as she replied, "He is innocent, but what does his suffering have to do with me?"

"If he told you, then you should know, I have done him a great favor by creating him, without me, he would have already been refined into a little ghost by the Evil Path, and it’s your husband who is to blame for all of this."

Shu Ya’s complexion went deathly pale, looking utterly defeated. Her upright spine seemed to be forcefully broken, bending over as if the spirit had been drawn out of her body in an instant.

Su Li showed not a hint of sympathy for Shu Ya’s distress; instead, she spoke more eagerly, stabbing right where it hurts the most.

Su Li: "Moreover, I told that Ghost Baby once as well, if he chose to stay by your side, he would have to accept the consequences... and he agreed..."

"Isn’t it enough that you, a mother and son separated by life and death, are able to meet and stay together?"

Seemingly angered by Su Li’s indifferent attitude, Shu Ya harshly retorted, "The baby respects you greatly, but now he is dying... he’s about to be killed by the Heavenly Master..."

Shu Ya reached to clutch at Su Li’s clothes, but her hands grasped only air.

"Please, I beg you, save the baby, I don’t want him to stay by my side anymore, just let him be reincarnated."

Su Li chuckled.

"Do you think reincarnation is such a simple matter?"

Su Li waved her hand impatiently, stopping Shu Ya from saying anything more.

"Alright, I came to see you simply out of curiosity, it doesn’t mean I’ll definitely help you."

"The Little Ghost Baby is after all an Evil Ghost, it takes quite a powerful Heavenly Master to beat him to the brink of soul dispersion, whatever the reasons are, I don’t want to know, in the end, it was his choice..."

Hearing this, Shu Ya’s expression changed, filled with regret too late.

"It was me, it’s all my fault... if I hadn’t been soft-hearted towards him..."

Su Li didn’t care to listen to these words, as she had said before, stumbling upon Shu Ya who seemed to be seeking her out, she followed her curiosity, but that didn’t mean she had to help.

Besides, she was dissatisfied with Shu Ya’s attitude.

She was not one to restrain her own nature, and how could she be manipulated by the words of an ordinary woman.

Hearing the mutterings and fragmented phrases from Shu Ya, Su Li could guess eight or nine times out of ten what had happened.

It was nothing more than Shu Ya being overjoyed that the baby had come back to find her and wanting to share this good news with her husband.

Unlike Shu Ya, Cheng Bin had done something wrong and was feeling guilty. Naturally, he didn’t want to see the Little Ghost Baby.

What happened in between, for the time being, remained unknown.

In any case, the Heavenly Master must have been someone Cheng Bin had brought in.

To say that the Ghost Baby faced a Heavenly Master, it’s not about defeating him, but surely escaping was possible.

It was definitely because Shu Ya was too soft-hearted towards her husband that the Little Ghost Baby fell into the hands of the Heavenly Master and met with a fate close to soul dispersion.

Su Li still stood by her words; everything was a matter of personal choice.

She had already helped the Ghost Baby twice, and no one could insist that she must help a third time.

As Shu Ya plunged into a state of uncontrollable self-reproach, Su Li had long since left.

By the time Shu Ya came back to her senses, the adult she had finally found had already vanished without a trace, and she no longer knew where to look for her.

There was no time left now.

The thought of facing the complete dissolution of her own child filled her with excruciating pain.

Inside the sedan, several crisp slaps rang out.

The driver in the front seat looked straight ahead, shrunk down, and pretended to be deaf to any sounds.

On Shu Ya’s ashen face, the vivid red slap marks were shockingly apparent.

She was hitting her own blindness, her own foolish blindness, her head filled with love and affection...

Indeed, just as Su Li had guessed, the Little Ghost Baby was severely injured by the Heavenly Master brought in by Cheng Bin.

On that day, when she realized that the baby couldn’t bear to leave her and was willing to forsake reincarnation to remain by her side, she was overjoyed.

Because of the baby’s presence, her body quickly recovered its health.

This joy, of course, was to be shared with her husband.

Shu Ya firmly believed that Cheng Bin would be just as happy as she was.

But when she told her husband about the existence of the baby, he thought she had gone insane.

He couldn’t see the baby’s existence like she could, only telling her to relax and not think too much.

Cheng Bin also called in several excellent psychologists.

Although Shu Ya was angry, she could understand Cheng Bin’s thoughts.

To prove the truthfulness of what she said, she had the baby make a lot of noise.

At night, Cheng Bin could hear the baby’s cries and occasionally a few murky calls of "Daddy".

Then there were the sounds of a baby’s rattle being touched in the room.

And on the freshly mopped floor, which was not yet dry, there were marks of movement...

Every strange occurrence demonstrated without exception that something else was present in the house.

Cheng Bin was already feeling guilty. He had only sold the child to someone else; he wasn’t yet cruel enough to think of killing him.

If it really was that child who had come back, could it be for revenge... hm?

If Shu Ya knew...

She absolutely must not find out. Since the child was already dead, it shouldn’t linger in the Mortal World.

Cheng Bin was a ruthless person at heart.
