Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Ghost Mirage, Manifestation of the Living’s Folly

After the mask-like thing was removed, Qu Ruorui collapsed softly onto the ground.

The ghostly mask snapped and clawed, trying to break free, but Yue Qingqing’s tender palm stuck to it like glue, firmly holding it in place.

Jun Feifei slowly got up from the ground, continuously swallowing saliva.

"What is this?"

The ghostly mask bared its teeth and lunged forward, trying to pounce on Jun Feifei.

Startled, Jun Feifei raised her hand to cover her face; the bracelet on her arm lashed out again with a whip.

But the bracelet finally broke and fell to the ground.

"Behave."

Yue Qingqing brought her palms together, and amidst a piercing scream, the life gradually faded from the ghostly mask, turning into a wisp of black smoke in the center of her palm.

"Don’t tell anyone about today’s event."

Yue Qingqing looked at Jun Feifei, who inexplicably stepped back.

"I won’t, I definitely won’t say a word," Jun Feifei assured.

As if afraid Yue Qingqing wouldn’t believe her, Jun Feifei raised three fingers, imitating a gesture from TV dramas, held them above her head solemnly.

"I swear."

Yue Qingqing took the opportunity to cast the Heart-Seeking Curse.

Even if Jun Feifei tried to tell others, she would find herself unable to divulge any related information.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust the child; it was just better to be safe than sorry.

Picking up the bracelet that had lost all its luster, Feifei’s gaze towards Yue Qingqing was now filled with reverence and an inexplicable excitement.

"Are you one of those immortals from the TV, who come down to Earth to face tribulations?"

Yue Qingqing, caught between laughter and tears, "How could that be possible."

Jun Feifei looked at her with a "don’t lie to me, I’m not a three or four-year-old child" expression.

Helpless, Yue Qingqing temporarily trapped the black energy on the jade pendant in front of her chest.

The halo around the mutton-fat jade securely locked it in.

After doing all this, Yue Qingqing huffed and puffed as she moved the collapsed Qu Ruorui back onto the bed.

Feifei hurriedly came to help.

"Why hasn’t Timid Qu woken up yet?"

"It’s not over yet." The real root of the problem had yet to be removed.

Yue Qingqing glanced at Jun Feifei, who shivered.

"Wh-what?"

"You go home first."

If it had been before, Jun Feifei would have snorted through her nose, "You think I’d just go home because you say so?"

But after experiencing the recent events, she immediately obediently said, "Alright..."

"If your family asks, say you came to the hospital to see a classmate."

With that, Yue Qingqing walked straight out.

Jun Feifei belatedly chased after her but could no longer see her classmate’s silhouette, and could only dejectedly head home.

Since capturing the "ghostly mask," Yue Qingqing had finally realized what this thing really was.

Ghost Mirage, the creation of a living person’s wild thoughts.

There was a scholar who was extremely affectionate with his wife; the two harmonized perfectly like strings of a lute, their love so deep that they would become restless if apart even for a moment.

However, fate was cruel, and the scholar’s wife died from a cold, leaving the scholar so heartbroken that he spat blood continuously and even contemplated dying with his wife.

Barely surviving with the help of his family, the scholar did not seek death anymore, but instead smiled just as before, showing no sign of his grief over losing his wife.

But since then, he would always place dinnerware across from him at every meal and set up two pillows before sleeping, just like when his wife was alive.

When the scholar’s friend visited, he found the scholar laughing and talking to thin air. Concerned, he asked what was going on.

The scholar became angry, "My wife is right here, how dare you be so rude?"

The friend thought the scholar could not move on from his grief and tried to console him, but the scholar furiously threw him out of the house.

However, after some time, the scholar’s parents indeed saw their daughter-in-law, who had ’died and come back to life,’ laughing and chatting with their son, sharing meals and a bed as if nothing had happened.

They were shocked and terrified, but the daughter-in-law gracefully came forward to greet them.

Some said the scholar’s love had moved the heavens, allowing his wife to return from death.

Others suspected that the scholar’s wife had never died but was testing her husband’s love.

Yet, half a year later, the entire family of the scholar died tragically in their home, none, young or old, were spared.
