Pranking a Ghost

Granny Xiang's words made the ghosts forget about the script. They all realized that the old lady in front of them was not an ordinary person. The female ghost pulled Fan Lingling, who was carrying the child, into the room, while the two paper figurines silently retreated to the corner.

"Granny Xiang, stop scaring them." A smile appeared on Feng Nian's face, and even her eyes were filled with joy. Granny Xiang still liked to tease people, no, ghosts.

A mischievous smile appeared on Granny Xiang's face. It was also a pleasure to tease ghosts. Looking at the helpless expressions of those ghosts, it was quite cute.

Soon, she remembered the purpose of this trip. She waved at Fan Lingling. "Bring the child over for me to take a look."

Fan Lingling looked at Feng Nian with uncertainty. She did not know Granny Xiang, even though she did not sense any malice from her. Seeing her nod, she carried the child and walked towards Granny Xiang. She trusted Feng Nian.

At this moment, the child was sleeping soundly and peacefully. Its eyes were narrowed into two lines, but its mouth was smacking as if it had tasted delicious food.

Granny Xiang looked at the child for a moment and said to Fan Lingling with a smile, "Let the child sleep in peace."

Fan Lingling gently placed the child back in the room and returned to Feng Nian's side. She knew that Granny Xiang had come to see the child as soon as she arrived. Her arrival must have something to do with her child.

Feng Nian did not stop it and let it stay where it was.

"This child is a Yin energy fetus. You must have spent a lot of effort to protect it." Granny Xiang looked at Fan Lingling. She could tell at a glance when she saw the child.

However, Fan Lingling's face was filled with confusion. She only remembered that the child was slowly growing in her body. When it was born, it was so thin and weak. When she hugged it, her heart was filled with joy. The child was her hope.

Granny Xiang saw the confusion in her eyes and shook her head. "Forget it. Anyway, I can't forget what I should remember." She took out a small black wooden block from her pocket and placed it in front of Feng Nian.

Feng Nian took it and realized that it was a piece of wood made of ghostwood that was more than 500 years old. The ghostwood was of the Yin energy nature and was the most suitable to carry the Yin energy of the fetus. As long as the Yin energy fetus received the incense offerings from its family, it could successfully reincarnate.

"Granny Xiang, thank you. This thing helps me a lot." Feng Nian revealed a happy expression. Although she had a way to send Fan Lingling and her son to reincarnate, she lacked the resources.

"I know you'll help me put it on the Xiao family's tab." Granny Xiang looked at Fan Lingling with pity. "I wish you well in your next life."

A smile appeared on Fan Lingling's pale face. She knew that Granny Xiang was sincerely blessing her, and her heart ached for her. She bowed deeply to Granny Xiang.

After sending Granny Xiang off, Feng Nian lowered her eyes.

When a female ghost gave birth to a Yin energy fetus, she had to endure the extreme darkness and extreme cold, using the Yin energy and intelligence that she had accumulated as the price. If she could not withstand it, she would directly swallow the Yin energy fetus in her stomach and use it as her nourishment to increase her ability. Fan Lingling had used at least six years to give birth to a Yin energy fetus, so one could imagine the pain she had suffered. It was no wonder that she could not remember what had happened when she was alive. Most of her intelligence had been consumed to nurture the fetus. That was why Granny Xiang looked distressed.

This made her even more certain of one thing. Fan Lingling's corpse must have been left in an extremely cold place. As long as the corpse was not destroyed, the Yin energy fetus could be successfully born. As long as they found this place, they would be much closer to the truth.

The sun was setting, and the crimson sky was slightly dark, leaving only the rays of light on the streets.

In the distance, a low-key luxurious car was parked. Wei Zhen was sitting in the car and reading information about the transportation industry in Zun City.

Fan Rui was a famous researcher in Zun City's transportation industry. He lived in this old building. If he was willing to share the information he had, the Wei Corporation's transportation industry would be like a tiger with wings. This was also the reason why Wei Zhen came here.

Wei Zhen tidied his clothes and got out of the car with his long legs. His tall and conspicuous figure was illuminated by the sunset.

————

Someone knocked on Fan Rui's door.

After the door opened, Wei Zhen nodded at Fan Rui solemnly. "Mr. Fan, sorry to disturb you."

Fan Rui nodded at Wei Zhen and gestured for him to enter the house. "Let's go in and have a seat."

When Wei Zhen entered the house, he noticed that Fan Rui's house was filled with pictures of a girl. Some were of her smiling, some of her playing, and some of her fooling around… From when she was young to when she was in university, every stage of her life was accounted for, except when she graduated.

Fan Rui seemed to have noticed Wei Zhen's gaze on the room full of photos. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes. "She is my daughter, Fan Lingling."

This time, Fan Rui agreed to share his information with the Wei Corporation. The only condition he proposed was for Wei Zhen to help him find his daughter's whereabouts. Six years ago, after Fan Lingling married someone, there was no news of her ever since.

"Don't worry, I'll help you find her." Wei Zhen seemed to have experienced the feeling of a father. He guarded the dilapidated building and refused to leave. He was probably worried that his daughter would not be able to find her way home.

Outside the door, the sound of a key turning could be heard, followed by the voice of Fan Rui's wife, Wang Lan. "Fan Rui, Lingling is back."

Fan Rui was so excited that he immediately stood up, but what followed was deep disappointment. Behind Wang Lan was a girl in a ponytail and sportswear. She was not their daughter. If it was not Lingling, when would their Lingling come home?

"Hello, my name is Feng Nian." Seeing the disappointment in Fan Rui's eyes, Feng Nian introduced herself first. "I'm Lingling's friend."

Fan Rui nodded and invited Feng Nian in.

Wang Lan, on the other hand, was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. She was preparing to cook Fan Lingling's favorite sweet and sour pork.

Wei Zhen suddenly felt the jade pendant in his pocket burning again. He looked up and saw a girl in a white dress standing behind Feng Nian. She had long hair that reached her shoulders and her face was paler than white paper. Her eyes were fixed on Fan Rui and his wife. Her eyes were misty. It was Fan Rui's only daughter, Fan Lingling.

However, Fan Lingling was a little hesitant at this moment. She stood outside the door and did not take half a step into the house.

Wei Zhen turned around and walked towards Feng Nian. He stopped in front of Fan Lingling. "You're already at your doorstep. Don't you want to go in and take a look?"

Fan Lingling was stunned. She did not expect Wei Zhen to be able to see her. She missed home and her parents, but how was she going to go home now? Even if she went home, it would only make them sad.

"Go ahead. There's your favorite stew tonight." Feng Nian saw the hesitation and sadness in Fan Lingling's eyes. Fan Lingling and the child did not have much time left. They could not stay in the human world that did not belong to them for too long. Only by confessing everything to the Fan family and asking them to worship the incense for Fan Lingling and the child could they successfully reincarnate.

In the end, Fan Lingling nodded. She missed her parents a lot.

Stepping into the long-lost house, a familiar feeling greeted her. At this moment, the sun had completely set at the foot of the mountain. It was dark. Fan Lingling was free to move around.

Fan Lingling's mother smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Wei Zhen and Feng Nian sat on the sofa in the living room.
