Chapter 23: A Ghost (2)

“I don’t know you, but then I seemed to know you, I also don’t remember.” The ghost girl looked blank.

Xu Yu Yao: “…….”

So she was entangled by a “stupid ghost”?

“I’m not a ghost…” The ghost girl pursed her lips, her eyes were brimming with tears and she denied it in grievance.

Xu Yun Yao endured it again and again, at last she couldn’t bear it anymore, you, just straighten your back, wipe your tears and you are not allowed to easily cry.

She felt like she was about to go crazy, there was someone, no, there was a ghost who had a face that looked exactly like her, but this ghost was a stupid ghost, a crybaby ghost, a grievous ghost, a pitiful ghost, every expressions were all that she despised the most.

The ghost girl was so frightened that she quickly wiped her tears and straightened her back, but her eyes were still shining lucid, her nose was puffing and her mouth was shriveled. She wanted to cry but didn’t dare to cry.

Xu Yun Yao’s mouth twitched again without holding back.

You just said I beat you until you looked like this. What’s going on? She asked again in her heart

As soon as she asked, the ghost immediately felt more aggrieved, “I was trapped in the snake body, and then the snake died. I couldn’t go out for a moment. When  I was anxious, I was beaten by you. It was so painful and it ruined my clothes, you see…”

The ghost girl held her tattered sleeve to show her, her small eyes filled with grievance and accusation.

Xu Yun Yao was stunned.

Snake? What snake? Could it be the dead snake that she was holding that day which used as a whip and this stupid ghost was trapped inside that dead snake?

“I’m not a ghost…” The ghost girl retorted in a low voice.

Xu Yun Yao rubbed her face, acted like she didn’t hear it , you’re not even a human being and the clothes are naturally not real entities. Can’t it be restored when it was ruined?

It was alright if just looking at her acting all around with the same face of her, but she even had her hair dishevelled and wearing tattered clothes, she simply couldn’t stand it anymore!

The female ghost was stunned, “Can, can it be restored? I don’t know!”

Xu Yun Yao turned around silently, for fear that she would be mad at this stupid ghost with the same face as her in the past life.

I better  calm down again!

After a while, she heard the female ghost talking with somewhat bashful, “I, I restored the clothes, you can turn around!”

Xu Yun Yao: “…….”

This stupid ghost seems to have misunderstood something…

She rubbed her forehead and slowly turned around. When the familiar face was clearly reflected in her sight under the moonlight, for a moment, she felt like she didn’t know who she was.

The girl in front of her, her black hair was like a waterfall and simply tied with a black ribbon, dressed in moon white embroidered plum,  with apricot face and peach cheeks, as pretty as a picture, exactly the same as the face she saw in the bronze mirror countless times in her past life. If she really wanted to say what the differences were, it was the smile in front of her. A bit more timid, a bit more pure.

Yes, pure, as if never uncontaminated with any pollution in the world, like a newborn child, ignorant and innocent, beautiful as it is.

And this kind of purity was exactly what Consort Xu, who had experienced countless blood-sheds, did not have.

“I, is there still anything wrong with me?” The ghost girl asked when she saw her silently looking at herself without saying a word.

Xu Yun Yao didn’t answer and only after a long time did she say, “I’ll give you a name!

The ghost girl’s eyes suddenly brightened up and her head was like a chicken pecking rice, “Yes, yes!”

Xu Yun Yao motioned to her to stretch out her hand and the ghost girl floated over without thinking and handed her right hand without thinking about it.

When Xu Yun Yao touched the cold hand, she was in a daze for some reason, then she busily collected herself and wrote stroke by stroke in her palm.

“From now on, you would be called ‘Yan Wu’.”

Yan Wu, Yan Wu, Xu Ye.

With such a face that looked exactly like her in her past life, Xu Yun Yao would never believe it if she had nothing to do with her. Before she has the ability to find out, let her stay first!

The most important thing was that this ghost could actually see through other people’s hearts, such a useful helper, if she let her go, it would be such a pity!

The female ghost was completely attracted by her new name. She smiled and looked at the palm of her right hand and kept chanting, “Yan Wu, Yan Wu, sounds so good, I will have a name in the future, my name is Yan Wu.”

Looking at her silly appearance, Xu Yun Yao somehow felt a little funny. She wanted to ask how she died, but then she gave up after thinking of her knowing nothing just before.

She didn’t even know her own name and didn’t know where she came from, afraid that she would also not know how she died.

She pondered about it and asked in her heart, do you remember where you were before you were trapped in the snake body?

Yan Wu frowned and tried to think again, “I don’t remember, but it must be in a very warm and safe place.”

She secretly glanced at Xu Yun Yao who was expressionless, and added in her heart, she must have been with Yao Yao too.

Xu Yun Yao frowned. A warm and safe place? Where was that?

Forget it, let’s not think about this first.

She looked at the sky outside the window and decided to sleep first and to investigate everything later when she grew up.

Yan Wu thought of something, and said anxiously, “Yao Yao, someone wants to harm your father!”
