"Lili, we’ve heard so much about how magical you are, it’s really incredible."
These words left Gu Lili with no easy way to respond, so she politely smiled without speaking.
"Can you really see ghosts?" Lady Lin asked curiously, "What do ghosts look like? Are they scary?"
"I think it’s best not to discuss this topic at this time, to avoid spoiling your enjoyment."
"We’re not afraid," Lady Lin persisted, "Tell us about it."
Gu Lili then spoke briefly, "Most of them are quite terrifying, but a few, having stayed in the mortal world as Dead Souls for a long time and achieved higher cultivation, can revert to their most complete appearance from before they died, but mostly, they are incredibly frightening."
"Could you draw some of these appearances for us when we return to the hotel? I’m really curious."
Long Yubei’s face darkened, "Is my wife someone you can order around as you please?"
Lady Lin gave an embarrassed smile, "That’s not what I meant, of course."
"If that’s not what you meant then shut your mouth." Long Yubei quickly took Gu Lili and boarded the cable car first.
"Mrs. Long, your son has quite the temper, truly fitting for the young master of the Long Group."
Dragon Mother leisurely walked alongside her, explaining, "He’s always had a bad temper, don’t take it personally."
"Mrs. Long, your daughter-in-law is indeed beautiful, but she seems far from friendly. Didn’t they say she came from the mountains? A phoenix rising above its station, must be very different from before she was married?"
"She was the same before marriage, sometimes her words are sharp enough to stab, but she has the ability, can see ghosts. That’s not something just anyone can do; naturally, she has confidence." Dragon Mother spoke slowly, "Our family elders really adore her, pamper her incredibly, usually at home I can’t even say a small thing about her without getting a lecture from the elders."
"My God, that’s hard to believe, you’re the matriarch of the Long Family, yet it seems she holds a higher position than you."
"That’s what I’m saying, my position now can’t compare to hers." The three of them with their bodyguards entered another cable car.
"Didn’t Gu Xichen’s mother, who could also see unclean things, get thrown out by the Gu Family initially? I heard she died this year, her life cut short, and it was quite ominous. Such people can harm those around them, causing family members to be troubled not just emotionally but interfering with marriages, causing physical injuries, and in severe cases, even death."
Another lady chimed in, "Yes, that’s trouble attracting. You Long Family really are bold, your family elders are too old and confused, and you are too, Mrs. Long. You only have this one son, don’t wait till something regrettable happens, and it’s too late, especially since I heard your family hasn’t been very peaceful lately?"
Dragon Mother, frightened by their words, thought of the recent troubles at home, nodded and said, "Indeed, the troubles in our family just doesn’t seem to end, that’s why I thought of getting out to clear my head, I’m absolutely worn out."
"Let me tell you, it’s probably all related to this daughter-in-law of yours, it’s her doing. Think about it, wasn’t your family peaceful before she married your son?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
"That’s true, back then there weren’t any troubles, every day was comfortable."
