Chapter 105: Dream Soul Token
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the end, the butler let Shen Chun in.
Shen Chun asked the two of them to guard outside and not disturb her.
When she arrived at the Fu family’s old residence, she realized that the malicious ghost was not here at all. Shen Chun saw that Old Master Fu did not have any sinister energy around him, but he had lost his soul, so he could not wake up and was trapped in a nightmare.
After Shen Chun opened the door, she said to Song Han and the butler, “Old Master Fu is having a nightmare. His soul is trapped inside. I’m going to cast a spell to enter Old Master’s nightmare later. The two of you, guard him well. Even if Fu Shi comes over, tell him to wait outside obediently.”
Seeing that Song Han and the butler understood what she said, Shen Chun closed the door again and fumbled for the Dream Soul Bell in her bag before hanging it on the window.
When a breeze blew, the Dream Soul Bell would echo in one’s ears.
Shen Chun chanted an incantation and with a white flash, she entered Old Master Fu’s nightmare.
When Shen Chun opened her eyes again, she saw an alley. The sky was foggy, as if it had just rained. The steps on the ground were covered in moss, and there were teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops on both sides of the alley.
There were many small peddlers with large umbrellas on the empty ground and also many raindrops on the umbrellas.
On the streets, there were passers-by carrying loads as they hurried along.
There were people driving ox carts to deliver goods, donkeys pulling carts, and people carrying groceries home to cook.
When Shen Chun saw this situation, she felt like she had returned to many years ago, when people still wore cheongsams.
Shen Chun looked around the crowd of people but did not see where the Old Master was, so she could only rely on the Dream Soul Bell outside to find the Old Master’s main body.
As Shen Chun walked straight into the alley, she could hear the bell getting closer and closer.
After a while, Shen Chun stopped in front of the Fu family’s house. She didn’t expect the Fu family to be so rich since so long ago. The house was very big.
Her body was a spirit, so she could enter without knocking. However, Shen Chun did not find a single living person in the Fu family’s residence.
Just as Shen Chun was feeling puzzled, someone finally ran in through the door.
Based on his appearance, Shen Chun could tell that this person was the younger version of Old Master Fu.
He panted heavily and poured a glass of water to quench his thirst, but he drank too quickly and choked on the water.
Shen Chun was wondering why he was in such a hurry.
Right on the heels of that, a young man about his age barged in with a carrying pole in his hand as he shouted, “Why were you running so fast? Didn’t I just ask you to help me get a carrying pole? There wasn’t anything heavy inside, but you ran away like a wisp of smoke.”
Fu Cheng waved his hand dismissively and said, “Even if there’s nothing inside, 1 have to run. As the saying goes, you can’t accept a reward without doing something. l! I insist on doing the opposite.”
After putting the things away, Li Wen poured a glass of water to drink. Then, he teased, “Tsk, how lazy. Let’s see who will be willing to marry you in the future.”
Fu Cheng immediately stopped her. “Hey, stop it. Stop talking nonsense. Get me a wife.”
From this scene, Shen Chun guessed that Li Wen was probably Old Master Fu’s brother.
Li Wen flew into a rage and picked up a bamboo stick before chasing after Fu Cheng.
Unexpectedly, a white light suddenly flashed in front of Shen Chun’s eyes, and the scene changed to that of a wedding.
The Fu family’s residence was decorated with red satin ribbons in a festive manner. The guests in the hall were cheering, and Fu Cheng was wearing a groom’s suit.
“One bow to heaven and earth.”
Shen Chun turned around and saw that it was snowing outside.
“Second bow.”
Right on the heels of that, a person appeared at the entrance of the Fu family’s residence. He was wearing a green military uniform. Wherever he walked, white objects turned red. It seemed as if he was here to congratulate the bride and groom.
“Husband and wife, bow to each other and enter the bridal chamber.”
Shen Chun froze as these words echoed in her ears. Then, the person in the courtyard finally stopped in his tracks.
Laughter filled the Fu family’s residence, but the courtyard outside was cold and desolate.
One red and one white, happy and sad.
As Li Wen looked at Fu Cheng, who was getting married in the house, the corners of his lips curled up into a smile, which was sealed in this winter forever..
