" What was that?" Mother Xi was cleaning a vase in the living room when she suddenly heard a mournful scream. It was so terrifying that she turned to look out of the window worried that something terrible was happening, if that was the case then she might as well call the police.
Father Xi also heard the scream but it was too far from their house, right around the farmlands and thus, he did not think much before turning to look at his wife and saying in a soft voice, " You are worrying too much, someone must be butchering their pig or something of the sort. You know something like this is normal in the countryside."
Mother Xi did not say anything, ever since Lady Yan started to live with them, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Maybe it was her instincts but she had a feeling that this Lady Yan was not as good of a woman as her son made her out to be, more importantly, she still remembered the words spoken by the other celestial master who asked them to stay on guard all the time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was as if she knew something that they didn't, from the past few days Mother Xi felt terribly awful just thinking about how she allowed her son to marry that ghost woman and even allowed a ghost to become her daughter-in-law. She should have just tied her son up and asked those celestial masters to exorcise Lady Yan.
After all, how can a ghost and a human live together?
But it was too late to regret, she had been trying to call her brother-in-law for the past few days but not a single call was answered. Clearly, her brother-in-law was still angry because they did not treat his son and the celestial master he brought with him, well enough. Mother Xi wanted to ask for forgiveness and have the other celestial master exorcise Lady Yan but she did not have that woman called Madam Song's contact!
A part of her wished to go to the town and look for assistant Xi but she did not wish to alert Madam Yan. If she were to find out that Mother Xi was going to the town to call for Song Yan, then it wouldn't take long for her son to know as well and then it would be truly troublesome.
" Mother, are you hurt?" While Mother Xi was lost in her thoughts, Lady Yan returned with a pound of flesh from somewhere. Seeing the freshly cut meat which was dyed red, Mother Xi felt a shiver dance up her spine as she looked at Lady Yan who was smiling at her gently and then suppressed her nausea.
Pretend. She had to continue pretending or else this ghost might sense something.
" No, I am not…I am just trying to see which family butchered their pig at such a late hour," said Mother Xi with a sigh. " When our family used to butcher pigs we would hand the meat to everyone in the village but now look how terribly greedy the people have become, they did not even think of sending us a bone."
As she spoke Mother Xi walked past Lady Yan and then picked up the broom and then the dustpan before she started cleaning the pieces of the vase that was broken because of her. Though Mother Xi did not say anything to anyone—— she had a suspicion that the mournful scream belonged to a woman rather than a pig!
"Haha," Lady Yan smiled softly as she took the flesh that she brought with her to the kitchen, where she once again switched on the streaming room and started to livestream her cooking. Her eyes flashed with a gleaming look as she remarked, " People were greedy from the beginning, Mother. It is just that in the past they knew how to mask themselves better."
Her hands chopped the large chunk of meat as she cooked them into small balls to make meatballs and then dunked them all on the angel hair past that she had boiled to eat together with the meatballs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as she was adding the finishing touches to her pasta, she noticed the comments on the live stream that seemed to be telling her how they wished to eat the spaghetti cooked by her and an eerie smile etched on her lips.
That's right, eat. Continue eating and continue to raise her cultivation!
Lady Yan placed the plates neatly on the dining table just as the rest of the Xi family sat down and took a bite of their meal. Father Xi was quite hungry because of the work that he did on the farm but after he was done taking the first bite, his brows couldn't help but furrow.
Although the sauce tasted good, the meatballs tasted too gamey and weird. It did not taste like beef—— he turned to look at Mother Xi who was frowning just like him and then turned to look at Lady Yan before asking, " This meat where did you get it?"
" Oh this? I went to a forest to hunt a boar …its because I have become half a poltergeist so it is not that difficult for me to kill a boar now…is something wrong? Does it not taste good?" Lady Yan asked with a frown on her face.
" Of course not," Xi Sang glared at his parents for questioning Lady Yan too much and then turned around to hug her. " You have done an amazing job, it's just that we are not used to eating a boar which is why my parents are asking it."
Though even Xi Sang felt that the meat tasted too bad he did not want to break Lady Yan's heart, she went out of her way to get this meat for their family who did not even own a single pig at the moment, it would be too unfair if they were to question her intentions.
But even so, with each bite that he took Xi Sang felt the meat coming back up and in the end, he couldn't help but vomit.
