" Are you sure that you summoned the right souls?" asked Yu Dong as she looked at her grandmother who was dodging her gaze and Yu Dong narrowed her eyes and hiked a brow as she asked, " Well?"
Wu Junfen raised her hands and smoothly answered, " I can assure you that I have summoned the correct souls but there may or may not have been a bit of problem while restoring them."
Yu Dong's brows jumped as she pinched the bridge of her nose and tried to calm herself down. Her grandmother was far more important for her to kill, at least at the moment, she was a bit too important and she couldn't just hurt her. " You made a mistake restoring them and did not tell me?"
" I was only responsible for summoning the souls," Wu Junfen casually shrugged. " I do not know whose soul entered whose body, something like that is not under my jurisdiction. And it's not like I summoned someone else soul, right? The souls might have been mixed up a little but they are still your husbands."
" Grandma!" snapped Yu Dong as she stopped herself from clutching onto her grandmother's collar and shaking her back and forth, she was pretty certain that the woman might have deliberately done it to make fun of her.
And what did she say? What difference? That was a major difference! How can she get used to the always gentle Shen Li flipping like a firecracker and Ye Liu being the gentle and shy one? It was as if she was going to lose her mind, now that she knew of it.
" All right, I am only pulling your leg," said Wu Junfen as she sat down on the chair sitting in her courtyard and sipped on the tea that her husband has sent for her. " The right souls entered the right bodies and there was no mix match."
" Then why are they acting like that then?" asked Yu Dong as she narrowed her eyes in disbelief and looked at her grandmother who seemed too skilled of a liar.
" Do you think that I am lying?" asked Wu Junfen waspishly, with her eyes glinting with a dangerous hue. " You brat don't think that just because I look several years younger, I am any less powerful than I once was, I can always snatch your soul and replace it with that of a rat or dog, don't you dare look at me with those eyes, I am telling you."
Yu Dong looked away instantly, she hasn't forgotten what happened to her ex-grandfather when her grandmother found out that he cheated on her with her best friend. Both of their souls were replaced by monkeys and they spent a good deal of their time dancing like monkeys on the streets.
Even the living dead were confused by their actions, wondering whether they should or they should not bite those two.
" I am just asking why they are acting in the opposite way? Li is too kind and his nature is mild as well, it's Liu who is like a little firecracker," whined Yu Dong as she clutched her head. She still couldn't believe that her Shen Li actually said those harsh words to her, how can he say those words like that?
That even his shoe would not miss her. Uwhahh, her Shen Li wasn't like this! A trip to the underworld and he has changed so much! The underworld led her husband astray!
Wu Junfen felt annoyed by Yu Dong's whining and kicked her shin. " Stop crying you woman, it's because their souls were out of their bodies for far too long, they are still reeling in the shock that they have suffered. It will take some time for them to get used to their bodies and return to their original state, and maybe it's because that Ye Liu feels guilty for what he did that's why he is tamed a little compared to Shen Li."
Yu Dong's head snapped up and she looked at her grandmother. " You mean to say that Li does not regret what he did?"
" He does not," said Wu Junfen with a solemn voice. " He may pretend that he is regretting what he did, but deep down he still believes that what he did was right. He doesn't see the wrong and his soul can sense his emotions, it's picking up what Shen Li is feeling at the moment, he is stifled and wronged. His depression only makes things worse for him, maybe he still wants to die and be liberated."
Yu Dong was shocked after listening to Wu Junfen, she shook her head in disbelief and her first reaction was not trusting a word that she has said, " No, Li wouldn't do that to me, right? He must have some sort of regrets in there that's why he is trying to heal right?"
" Or maybe he is just trying to look for a better opportunity to off himself, bidding his time, waiting for you to let your guard down and Bam!" Wu Junfen placed her tea cup on the table and seriously added, " I wasn't going to tell you this but I think you should know that Shen Li's soul was a lot harder to summon than Ye Liu's. It never wanted to come back you see? And I can only hope that you can make him properly understand what he cannot see for himself. Because a soul can never be summoned again, it will only irk its wrath, if it wants to leave."
Wu Junfen glanced at her granddaughter whose body seemed to have lost her soul and shook her head as she closed her mouth with the tip of her fingers. " Sometimes it's the silent ones you have to look out for Dong Dong, the less they speak the harder they are to hold. Shen Li has been put on the pedestal to be a good husband but did he ever want to be one? Or he is just living a life that others want him to because sometimes people who try to balance everything and everyone, are the one who needs balance the most."
