Chapter 105: Not a Coincidence
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Victor’s mother was sick. Her illness came very strangely. When Victor heard that Amelia had saved the young master of the Spencer family, Oliver, and after what happened with the auspicious light just now, he wondered if he had a chance to invite the Walton family’s little ancestor over to treat his mother.
As Victor walked in, he instructed his assistant beside him, “Remember, in the future, when Miss Amelia comes over, you don’t need to ask permission. Just invite the best cakemaker to make a cake for Miss Amelia. Also, Miss Amelia can’t eat anything too sweet. She’ll get cavities. She doesn’t like chocolate-flavored things. She likes fruit cake and fruit candy. Write this in the employee handbook.”
The assistant was speechless. Why was this written in the employee handbook?
In her sleep, Amelia felt someone staring at her. She opened her eyes and saw an old lady in a green Tang suit staring straight at her. Amelia was shocked and suddenly stood up.
Elmer was shocked and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Amelia’s eyes were still filled with fear. “Master, I saw an old Grandma in my dream. She was so scary.”
Elmer was stunned and asked, “What kind of Grandma?”
Amelia gestured. “It’s an old Grandma with sunken eyes, sunken cheeks, and green eyes…”
Elmer asked, “Have you seen her before?”
Amelia shook her head. “No.”
Elmer narrowed his eyes. The skin and bones were sunken, and the eyes were green. This was the appearance of a dead person. Most importantly, Amelia had never seen this person. Last time, Amelia could see Si Rufeng in her dreams because she had seen him in real life. Now, the dead soul that had barged into her dream was someone she had never seen before. This meant that some dead souls were starting to look for Amelia.
Elmer’s expression was solemn. “Mia, have you seen anyone else in your dreams?”
Amelia shook her head and asked curiously, “Master, what’s wrong?” Her master’s expression was a little heavy.
Elmer said, “Mia, you have to tell Master everything you dream of in the future, understand?” After a moment, he looked at Amelia and asked, “Do you know why Master has always been by your side?”
Amelia, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. She rubbed her eyes. “I know. Master, didn’t you say that Mom asked you to come? Also, you have to teach Mia divination and catching ghosts…”
Elmer was silent for a moment. Previously, he had also thought that meeting
Amelia’s mother, Helena, was a coincidence. He had promised her to protect Amelia for a period of time because he was kind-hearted. However, later on, when he came into contact with Amelia, he realized that Amelia’s life was not so easy to protect. She needed merit to extend her life. Now… He opened the notebook he carried with him and saw a line of bright red notes under Amelia’s name: If she wants someone to die in the third watch, the person won’t be able to stay until the fifth watch.
It seemed that only the King of Hell had this ability, right? Elmer was a little confused. Back then, did he really meet Helena, who was about to die, and came to Amelia’s side by a freak combination of factors?
Elmer asked, “Mia, do you still remember the Soul-Retrieving Gourd that
Master gave you?”
Amelia raised her hand, revealing her fair and tender arm. There was a red string tied to her wrist, and a small gourd was tied to the string. “I remember. It’s here.”
Elmer raised his head and gently touched the Soul-Retrieving Gourd. “Master didn’t tell you before that this Soul-Retrieving Gourd has to be filled. If it can’t be filled, Mia might have to leave…”
Amelia’s sleepiness immediately disappeared. “Leave? Where is Mia going?” She had just met her uncles, grandfather, and grandmother, so she did not want to leave.
Elmer pursed his lips. “Go to a faraway place and never come back.”
Amelia pursed her lips and suddenly got up. She went to the washroom to turn on the tap and pour water into the Soul-Retrieving Gourd. The Soul-Retrieving Gourd was very small, and the tap flowed, but it did not seem to have poured any water in.
The corners of Elmer’s mouth twitched. “Mia, this Soul-Retrieving Gourd is called the Soul-Retrieving Gourd because it can only store souls.”
Amelia exclaimed and was worried. “Then what should we do?”
Elmer said, “Go fill it with ghosts. Just fill it up.” He opened the book and said as he read, “If you fill it with wandering ghosts, you need a hundred to fill it. If you fill it with malicious ghosts, you need forty-nine. To fill it with evil ghosts, you need eighteen.”
Amelia nodded.. “I understand!” She leaned closer to take a look and asked, “Master, did the ugly auntie fill up the gourd?”
