Chapter 43

Wang Hongwei opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by his wife, "That's enough, how can you talk like that? Mr. Li, he didn't mean it, I'm really sorry!"

"Have you been in there for so long, can my son still be saved?"

This woman spoke with more tact, completely different from Wang Hongwei, who was like heaven and earth compared to her!

"He can be saved! But after saving him, your son will likely not be able to marry a wife!" I pointed out bluntly, "The ghost attached to your son is a female ghost with hundreds of years of cultivation, very fierce, and unpredictable. When she is angry, she kills people, and when she is not angry, she likes to play the guzheng. As you have seen, at night, she does not allow anyone to approach her, and anyone who does will die. To save your son, we need to find a more powerful female ghost to protect him. However, this female ghost needs to marry your son to protect him properly. Otherwise, your son won't last more than five days."

I altered the story. If I didn't say it this way and told the truth, they would develop resentment towards Song Liuyan in the future. I want them to be grateful to Song Liuyan, not to resent her or fear her and only then accept her.

Even if she only wants to use Wang Shuo's body to reincarnate, I can't let her be despised.

"Ah!" Upon hearing my words, the couple was stunned.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"Mr. Li, are you saying that my son should marry a ghost? Then our Wang family won't be able to... continue the lineage, right? Isn't this just a joke?" Wang Hongwei looked both amused and distressed.

He has such a large business, and if he doesn't have a grandson to inherit it, that would be a disaster.

I understood his thoughts but didn't take it seriously, "This is the only way. This female ghost is very fierce, and I can't defeat her now. If you find this difficult, I can just leave it alone, but in five days, your son will surely die! Because I only managed to buy five days of time."

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness. Finally, Wang Hongwei's wife whispered, "Then, when Shuo wakes up, we'll ask for his opinion."

"No!" Wang Hongwei shouted, "No, how can my son marry a ghost?"

"Wang Hongwei! What do you mean? Do you want to watch your son die?"

"I... I... I'll find someone else to deal with it. Even if I have to exhaust all my resources, I will find someone. It's just a minor ghost, I don't believe no one can handle it!"

"Are you crazy? Do you think anyone will dare to come and deal with Shuo's problem now? Yesterday, even the respected Master Huizhao died. Do you think anyone else will dare to come? Even if there is a powerful person, your son only has five days left. Can you guarantee that you can find such a person in five days?"

Wang Hongwei was speechless, his eyes wide open.

"Compared to watching my son die, I would rather believe Mr. Li! You don't have feelings for your son, but I do. I raised him from a young age, I can't bear to see him die."

Wang Hongwei remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry! We were all impulsive just now. Please save my son. As long as you can save my son, we will do whatever you ask."

Seeing the sincerity on Wang Shuo's mother's face, I nodded in agreement.

"Alright, we'll wait for Wang Shuo to wake up and tell him."

Hearing this, Wang Shuo's mother quickly said, "Mr. Li, can you not tell Wang Shuo? He has the same temper as his father. If he knows about this, he definitely won't agree."

I shook my head, "No, he must know, just like you do! I need your whole family to cooperate with me, otherwise, this problem can't be solved."

"This..." Wang Shuo's mother looked to Wang Hongwei for help.

Wang Hongwei sighed, "Why are you looking at me? We've already agreed, how can he not agree? I don't believe he's not afraid of death."

At seven in the morning, Wang Shuo woke up! I told him what I had said to Wang Hongwei and the others.

After hearing my story, Wang Shuo exclaimed in horror, "What? Marry a ghost? No, no, no! I won't do it."

Wang Shuo was extremely resistant, even though he was too weak to get out of bed, he still looked disgusted.

"Shuo, I know this is hard for you to accept, but it's even harder for us! Do you think I want to see you marry something like that?" Wang Shuo's mother sat beside him, her eyes red.

"The greatest wish of parents is to see their children grow up and get married! But... but now we have no choice! You've seen how many people the female ghost has killed. If it weren't for Mr. Li buying us five days, I don't know if you could have made it through these two days."

"Then, after I marry her, when I get better, can I divorce her?" Wang Shuo suddenly asked a question that made me want to slap him.

"Of course not! Only she can divorce you, you can never divorce her." I quickly responded, I wouldn't indulge someone like Wang Shuo, I had to suppress him, to control him.

Wang Shuo stared at me, his face full of pain, "Master, I don't want to marry a ghost! I'm a human, marrying something I can't see or touch, what kind of situation is this?"

"Who said you can't see or touch her? You've seen her!"

This is called leading the conversation. I've just brought the topic back to this!

Although my grandfather said not to lie, if this lie can earn Song Liuyan some respect, then it's worth it, it's a kind lie.

"When I looked at your八字 (ba zi, birth chart), I saw that when you were nine, you experienced a very strange event. At that time, a beautiful woman asked you if you would marry her. Do you remember?"

When I said this, Wang Shuo immediately remembered, "Yes, yes, I remember. When I went to my third uncle's house to play, I saw a nest of snakes, full of baby snakes. I beat them all! After that, I walked into a forest and got lost, unable to find my way out. I was so tired and dizzy. Then, I saw a beautiful big sister. She asked me if she was pretty, and of course, I said she was. She was really beautiful, I had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Then she asked me if I would marry her when I grew up, and if I agreed, she would lead me out. I agreed, and she led me out."

"Could it be, you're talking about her?"

Wang Hongwei opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by his wife, "That's enough, how can you talk like that? Mr. Li, he didn't mean it, I'm really sorry!"

"Have you been in there for so long, can my son still be saved?"
