Chapter 1257: A promise to keep
"Master Song, can we really meet Ziyi?" Ji Nan and the rest of the Ji family along with Shen Hanjing arrived at Song Yan's house as soon as they received the call from Song Yan, even though Song Yan asked them to not rush, they were too excited to suppress their desires.
At that moment, they only knew one thing and that was to see Ji Ziyi.
Song Yan stared at the excited bunch and nodded before saying, "Of course, you all can meet with her in a moment but before that, I need to clear a few things with you all." Song Yan paused causing the nervousness of the people in the room to hike up.
She took in their nervousness and then smiled before saying, "There is no need for you to all get anxious, I only mean to tell you that the appearance of Miss Ji is not what it used to be in the past."
"It's better to say that she no longer resembles human, now her appearance is that of a pile of flesh and blood," her eyes closed before she looked down at the spirit that was nervously gurgling while holding on to her pants.
"Her current appearance if I be honest with you all, it's no less than a monster, so unless you are sure that you will not faint or throw up, please take your leave because I wouldn't want Miss Ji to be hurt even in her death."
After she finished speaking she raised her head and looked at the people in front of her. Though a few of them looked nervous, Song Yan could see that neither of them wanted to leave, she heaved a sigh of relief and hoped that they could bear the same determination once she summons the Yin and Yang Aura which would make it easier for them to see Ji Ziyi.
"Are you ready?" She asked the people in the room before turning to look at Ji Ziyi who seemed to be too nervous, she continued to gurgle and the sound of her gurgles became more and more intense as she realized that the time to meet her family and Shen Hanjing had come closer.
"We are ready, Master Song," said Old Madam Ji after she exchanged a glance with everyone. "No matter what the appearance of my daughter is, it will never change the fact that she is my daughter."
"That's right, Master Song. We will never disdain Ziyi," said Shen Hanjing with a determined expression.
When Song Yan saw that they all were ready, she nodded and then drew an array in the array that opened the Yin and Yang aura, smoke billowed through the array as the entire room shifted before the surge of chill began as the heat started to dissipate in the room even though Song Yan had turned the heater on, the room started to get colder and colder until everyone could see mist forming in front of their mouths and noses.
Once the smoke cleared up the Ji family and Shen Hanjing opened their eyes and then they saw a dark figure hiding behind Song Yan. Though the figure didn't have even the slightest hint of human appearance, they knew that it was Ji Ziyi.
They all ignored the scent of rotten human flesh and blood before Ji Zhuang Guang who had already hardened his heart and prepared himself before coming to Song Yan's house stepped forward. After all, he had already seen Ji Ziyi's appearance in the warehouse, thus he was not surprised by the mutilated appearance of his sister.
"Ziyi, is that you? Come out let …let brother look at you."
His voice was thick with emotions as he looked at the face that was hiding behind Song Yan.
Shen Hanjing also snapped out of his daze and stepped forward with Ji Zhuang Guang. Even though he was quite surprised when he saw Ji Ziyi for the first time, he was able to conquer his fear in an instant because this ghost didn't belong to anyone else but his Ziyi.
"Ziyi, come … see I am here to meet you, let me take a look at you," Shen Hanjing said to Ji Ziyi who stayed behind Song Yan before letting out a gurgle.
Song Yan closed her eyes painfully and then said, "She cannot speak because Xue Ping dragged her corpse on the rough pavement her mouth was shaved and broken. The only reason she can exist is because there are two other souls attached to hers, if not she would not be even here, she wants to ask if you still want to see her."
"Even when she is mutilated and distorted beyond recognition."
Song Yan knew why Ji Ziyi was asking this question while showing part of her face, it was because she knew that even if she could withstand the torment that was handed to her by Xue Ping, if her family were to reject her then it would hurt her more.
When Ji Zhuang Guang and the rest heard Song Yan's words, their faces were filled with pained expressions. It was Mother Ji who took a brave face forward and then said, "Ziyi my daughter, it doesn't matter what your appearance is now. The fact that you are standing there and looking at me is enough to prove that you have suffered greatly, as your mother I failed you the last time when you needed me.
I do not want to disappoint you any further, so my daughter can you trust your mother one last time?"
Ji Ziyi's eye prickled with warm blood as she let out a gurgle and Gao Lan whose body to which her face was attached rumbled and then slowly moved from behind Song Yan. No sooner did Gao Lan move than Ji Ziyi turned her head to look at her family and Shen Hanjing before gurgling painfully.
It was Yi Yu who relayed her message, "How are you, mother?"
