" Is there something else that I should know?" Fu Yu Sheng's eyes turned grave, he could sense that the earlier information that Song Yan gave him was just the appetiser the main course was yet to be served.
" Of course, there is something more important to tell you," said Song Yan as she leaned against the window sill. " I came to the Qili village because I wanted to see what kind of demon Wu Genji is raising. I simply made a hunch but somehow that hunch hit the nail, that thing she is keeping by her side is an amalgamation of both a ghost and a demon."
" A what? An amalgamation of——" he had heard about ghosts and demons separately but he hasn't ever heard about a mix of both. " What do you mean by an amalgamation of a ghost and demon."
" The tomb in the Qili village belongs to the lost emperor, isn't it weird that an Emperor with a proper burial tomb didn't even have a name till the day he died?" Song Yan closed her eyes as she recalled the things that she has seen in the tomb. " Turns out that the man who was called the lost emperor till the end of that period was never the emperor, he was just a pet raised by the real emperor."
" The true Emperor was a woman but she didn't have the rights to the throne, in the end, she brought someone else to play the role of the emperor instead of her. But she never forgot the humiliation she received at the hands of the ministers who looked down on her for being a woman, for the sake of power, she pleased and worshipped the devil before sighing a contract with a demon. Going by this alone her soul should have been taken by the devil but she has somehow come up with a leeway to keep herself alive even in the most pitiful form. Her greed hasn't died till date and if possible it's getting even more and more worse than before."
" The reason the demon was attracted to Wu Genji might be that she and that demon are the same kindred spirits. Peas of the same pods."
" What do you mean by that?" Fu Yu Sheng suddenly stood up from his seat, his back getting soaked with cold sweat.
" Born with a sickly body, thrown into a small village where no one came to look for her, what do you think Wu Genji's feelings would have been?" Song Yan questioned while studying her nails. " She might have been cordial and accepting on the surface like a good child but on the inside, she would have been dissatisfied with her family's decision. The reason they sent me here is that I am sick because unlike my brothers I don't have a healthy body, it's so unfair. Unfair, don't you think the woman who contracted the demon thought the same way… they didn't let me reign on the throne because I am a woman. After all, I am weaker than them. Feeling unjustified, wronged … don't you think that the two share a common feeling between them?"
Fu Yu Sheng didn't say anything because he agreed with Song Yan even though the female empress and Wu Genji went through different sufferings, they were still the same in one way or another.
Song Yan knew that Fu Yu Sheng understood what she said so she didn't bother waiting for his response and went on, " Coupled with the immense greed to stay alive and get what they wanted the two seemed to have bonded in a way like no one can, I am sure that the one who called the authorities regarding the tomb was none other than Wu Genji. She could feel the resentment and the calls of pleas of the demonic energy but there was no way she could have dug the underground tomb right? Isn't it weird that six years ago the tomb was dug up and the youngest daughter of the Wu family returned at the same time? A girl who was supposed to die suddenly recovered and returned to the capital? Isn't it a miracle?"
" Why are you telling me this ?" Fu Yu Sheng's breathing turned stagnated and the chill on his spine grew more and more.
" You are forgetting that other than the greed to stay alive Wu Genji is greedy for something else or should I say, someone?" Song Yan drawled long and slow by now Fu Yu Sheng's breath was turning into mist in front of his face.
" From the time you spent with me you will be able to sense the arrival of a demon much less that of a ghost," continued Song Yan feeling the ring on her finger burn even fiercer. " Unlike a ghost that can get inside a house without permission, a demon needs to be invited. They cannot enter someone's house without getting the permission of the owner… but of course, a demon is known for tempting their victims, if you want to protect what's important to you then you will have to resist the temptation." She paused when her ring suddenly stopped burning. " She is standing outside your door, she will call you three times and then try to enter make sure to fight her properly for the sake of our son, I will be leaving Chen Chen in your care, Yu Sheng don't let me down."
" Song Yan? Song Yan? Yan'er?" Fu Yu Sheng only got to hear her final words before the call ended no, as he looked at his smartphone, he could see that the call was still running but he couldn't hear a thing from the other side. He gulped as he remembered what Song Yan just told him—— ' She is standing outside.'
Does that mean that Wu Genji and that demonic woman both were standing outside his apartment? Even though he wasn't one with guts less than that of a rat, his eyes still quivered, that thing was outside and now the safety of his son was on his shoulders.
Only now did he realise that taking care of Fu Chen wasn't the real test, the real test was fending off that demonic woman!
