The Witch (Lisrene)

Chapter 41

When Jisoo returned home, Sang Wenhao was sitting on the sofa directly facing the entrance. Ever since he received the message that Jisoo was going to return home, he had remained in this position, waiting restlessly.

When he spotted Jisoo entering through the door, he impatiently rushed up to him, "Elder Brother Cousin, how did it go? What did your lady boss say? Did she agree to help?"

Jisoo sighed as he changed his shoes.

"Elder Brother Cousin, why are you sighing? Is it because she still disagreed? No, I have to go find her again." As soon as he said that, Sang Wenhao turned towards the door, wanting to run out. However, he was pulled back by Jisoo.

"Lady boss agreed to help." Jisoo said.

"She agreed? She really agreed to help us?" Sang Wenhao was shocked. He then immediately tugged his hand out of Jisoo's grip, wanting to head out again. "I'm going to fetch my mother over now."

"Can you stop being so strung up? I haven't finished my words yet." Jisoo pushed Sang Wenhao down onto the sofa. Jisoo then continued, "My lady boss had said that it is not difficult to transfer out the malice in Auntie's soul. However, we must have a willing carrier as a recipient for the malice."

"I know." Sang Wenhao was not surprised to hear this. "I'll be the carrier."

"Are you kidding me?" Jisoo did not foresee that his cousin already knew about this from the beginning. He immediately rebuked Sang Wenhao, "Even if you successfully cured Auntie at your own expense, in that case, what's the point of doing this? Why are we spending so much effort on this?"

"As long as my mother can be cured, any price is worth it". Sang Wenhao was determined. "Elder Brother Cousin, you know that ever since I understood what was going on around me, my biggest desire is to cure my mother. Now that the opportunity is within hands' reach, I cannot give up on it. Besides, that malicious ghost's original target of corrosion was me from the start. That malice was supposed to be borne by me."

"No way, let's discuss this with uncle-in-law first." Even though it was true that the malice was supposed to be borne by Sang Wenhao, he was still an unborn, new soul at that time. Thus, he was the most innocent party in the entire saga.

"Elder Brother Cousin, no, don't tell my father." Sang Wenhao jumped up anxiously the moment he heard Jisoo's intentions of informing his father. "If my father knows about this, he would definitely not agree."

"That's why we should tell him." Despite being just a child, this brat thought out a great scheme.

"Elder Brother Cousin, please don't." Sang Wenhao was on the verge of tears. "As long as we can save my mother, it doesn't matter who becomes the carrier. Besides, I'm talented in spiritual practice. Perhaps, I can purify it if I do my utmost best in my spiritual practice once the malice is transferred to my body."

"Xiao Hao, it's indeed true that I, your Elder Brother Cousin, is an utter failure in spiritual practice. However, I'm not an idiot. If it was such a simple matter, would the malice in Auntie's body still remain in such a condition right now?" Jisoo noticed that Sang Wenhao was still intending to continue arguing and lifted his hand to cut the child off. "Don't argue anymore. The reason why I insist on telling this to uncle-in-law is not simply because I disagree with your plan of being the carrier, I have another reason. You know that my boss is Ephialtes."

Sang Wenhao was startled at Jisoo's words before nodding his head. "I've heard of it."

"The reason why lady boss has a deep hatred towards the Metaphysical Association was because not long ago, the Metaphysical Association inspection team wanted to capture boss. At that time, lady boss fought back against them." Jisoo said. "Because of boss' identity as Ephialtes, the association would not let off boss easily. However, to be honest, besides boss' identity as Ephialtes, he did not actually commit any wrongdoings. Therefore, deep down in my heart, I am hoping that the association will not be against the current boss."
