Chapter 182 - 182: Forced Binding
Hearing Song Yun’s words, Xiao Jing calmed down. He analyzed, “Mao Feng wants Gu Teng to fall in love with him. Then he will only take Gu Teng’s soul away completely. We have Gu Teng’s soul now. He’s even more anxious than us.”
Xiao Jing was right. Mao Feng was indeed extremely anxious.
He waited for Gu Teng’s soul in the house, but it did not come for a long time.
He knew that something must have happened.
Once that array was set up, he would definitely be able to extract the soul in less than a week. He could also feel that the array was operating.
However, he did not see Gu Teng’s soul for a long time. How could he not be anxious when his plan was disrupted?
Chen Yue pushed the door open and entered to see him circling around. She frowned and said, “What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
Mao Feng told Chen Yue what had happened. She began to worry, but she was worried that Gu Teng would be saved.
“I’ll find time to visit the Gu family and see what’s going on. You must get Gu Teng’s soul.”
She would only have a chance if Gu Teng left Xiao Jing. For this, she could give up everything. It would be best if she could get rid of that little bastard too.
After the birthday banquet ended, Xiao Jing brought Gu Teng back to the Gu family. Gu Lin even hired paparazzi to take photos of the family leaving. He edited Gu Teng’s posture and face so that she looked very normal and posted them online.
This would confuse Mao Feng and make him wonder if his array formation was effective. They would also be able to obtain more time.
After returning home, Yunbao guarded Gu Teng’s bed and refused to leave no matter what. It was fine if the child was like this, but Xiao Jing was the same. They could only let the three of them stay together.
Yunbao asked Purple Eye if there was a way to save her mother, but Purple Eye was helpless.
“This formation is to extract the soul. Now that the formation has been completed and the soul has been extracted, if you want your mother to return to her original appearance, you have to reverse this formation. Otherwise, no matter how much effort you use, it’s useless.”
Hearing Purple Eye’s words, Yunbao was even more upset. No one knew where Mao Feng was now, and even if they found him, they wouldn’t know where the array was.
Song Yun got someone to send over many magical artifacts from the Soaring Cloud Sect and placed them in Gu Teng’s room to stabilize her soul. At the same time, she cut off her connection with the array formation. In addition, Yunbao smeared blood between her eyebrows every day, which temporarily kept her soul in her body.
Just as Yunbao was feeling sad every day, Yaya returned from outside.
She had just obtained freedom and wanted to go out for a walk, so she didn’t follow Yunbao back to the Gu residence. She only came back after playing outside.
Yaya went up to Gu Teng and said, “Is this your mother?”
Yunbao nodded and said, “Mom is asleep now.”
Yaya shook her head and said, “Her soul and body are forcibly tied together. How can she be asleep?”
These words shocked Yunbao. She wiped the tears on her face and asked, “You can tell Mom’s condition?”
“Of course, I’m a ghost after all.” Yaya carefully observed Gu Teng and said, “Her soul is wrapped by a special power, preventing her soul from completely fusing with her body. If not for this power, she would probably have woken up.” Yunbao tried her best to look at Gu Teng’s soul, but she did not find the power that Yaya was talking about.
Yaya laughed at her. “Of course you can’t see it because you’re a human. Only a ghost can see it. It has to be a ghost with resentment like me.”
Ghosts were also divided into different levels. Normally, after a ghost died, it would only be a spirit body. However, if it died with resentment, it would become a malicious ghost and have extraordinary abilities.
However, Yaya, who had become a malicious ghost, was sealed, forcing her to cultivate in the seal and wash away her hostility. It was simply one in a million.
Therefore, Yaya’s ability was not something that ordinary ghosts could compare to. She was just trapped in the seal and could not come out.
Yunbao fell into deep thought after hearing Yaya’s words. Purple Eye also came out and said, “It seems that the key to saving Gu Teng lies in this formation. You can ask Song Yun about the detailed records of this formation.”
Yunbao quickly went downstairs to find Song Yun and told her everything in detail. Song Yun hurriedly sent a letter back to the Soaring Cloud Sect to ask for the ancient books, but those were books that the sect had sealed and prohibited learning. It was not something Song Yun could give her just because she wanted it.
There were so many elders watching. Even if Song Feng was willing to help, he could not dissuade these elders. They treated the sect rules as an imperial edict..
