Chapter 1169: Her Mother’s Two Wishes

He Xiyan bit her lip. Her long locks had been messed up by the wind. She clenched her hands tightly into fists and she seemed to have trouble breathing.

“What’s happening?” she asked agitatedly. She would have never imagined that things would turn out this way.

As the Fengshui Master, Mr. Wang approached her, she grabbed his hands in agitation and looked at him in a mixture of confusion and worry.

“Mr. Wang, what should we do?” she asked anxiously. She was completely at a loss and didn’t understand why her mother’s body had not decomposed after twenty years.

Mr. Wang heaved a deep sigh. His calculations proved to be right and this place was not a suitable place of burial. Moreover, it was full of negative energy, so if the deceased were to be buried here, they would bring bad luck upon their living relatives.

He coughed softly and paused for a moment before he said, “Please don’t panic. This is a rare phenomenon but it is not completely unheard of. Could you try to recall whether your mother had any unfulfilled wishes before she passed on? Were her eyes open when she passed? She would only be able to rest in peace if we help her fulfill her wish.”

Mr. Wang’s voice was so soft that it sounded as though his voice was coming from the valley and He Xiyan couldn’t help but shiver as she listened to him.

“Yes…” she said. “My mother’s eyes were open when she passed. She had always longed to find the daughter she had lost as a child, my sister.” He Xiyan knew that her mother had two wishes; the first was to find her sister, and the second wish was for her to marry into a good family and live happily ever after.

Mr. Wang said, “That must be it. Have you managed to find your long lost sister?”

“Yes,” He Xiyan said with a nod. She reunited with Man Man eight years ago but Man Man didn’t have any memories of her biological parents, neither did she feel a sense of kinship toward them. She did not ask Man Man to come since Man Man had never been to her hometown.

“You should tell your sister to come over. We wouldn’t be able to put your mother back into her grave since her body did not decompose even after twenty years. We will have to bury her at least 500 meters from this place. I’d also suggest that you hire someone to cremate her body, then hire someone else to perform the rites for her soul to move on to the netherworld,” Mr. Wang said as he told her the most suitable way to handle an incorruptible body based on the books he had read.

He Xiyan didn’t know what was going on and everything felt surreal to her.

If ghosts exist, did that mean that her mother’s soul had been loitering around the area for the past twenty years? Had her mother always been waiting for Man Man? Was that why she refused to leave the mortal realm even after twenty years had passed?

Yuan Yuan stuck close to his mother’s side. He had been terrified by what he had witnessed earlier. However, as a young boy who loved science, he did not think that this was a supernatural phenomenon. Instead, he suspected that his grandmother’s body had not decomposed because of the environment and the material of the coffin. He didn’t believe the fengshui master when Mr. Wang said that the place was full of negative energy.

This place was just damp, moist, and dark.

“Mom… don’t be upset,” he said as he placed his hand on his mother’s shoulder and comforted her.

He Xiyan leaned against Yuan Yuan’s broad shoulders. This was the first time in her life that she was overcome by a sense of helplessness.

She asked the men from the funeral services company to put the lid back on the coffin and also requested for them to build a huge canopy around the grave.
