Scarlett Jennings had not made a point to follow the developments of the Garrison Family’s case. Instead, she picked a time to return to the Silva Family’s Shadow House.
This time, however, she brought the little spirit baby with her.
While she had previously sent off the five girls killed by Dashiell Xalvadora, the spirit baby’s weight was still insufficient. So, Scarlett decided to let it nurture itself in this Shadow House. freeweɓnøvel.com
Although the Wealth Pillar’s remains had been removed, the house’s original design was based on a Shadow House, and the Shadow Energy accumulated over the years wouldn’t dissipate just because the remains were taken away.
In fact, with the Evil Qi from the remains cleared out, it became even more suitable for nurturing shadow.
Scarlett thus instructed the little spirit baby to come to this place every night to nurture itself and raise its weight early.
The little spirit baby didn’t sense Scarlett Jennings’ disdain for it. Like a tiny ginseng doll, it kicked around in the air, clearly enjoying the Shadow Energy in the Silva house.
While Scarlett allowed the little one to roam in the shadow-filled room, a silhouette suddenly appeared before her.
The newcomer sported long hair tied up and wore A-brand’s latest season suit. At first glance, she looked like a fashion model.
If one ignored the ghastly pale face and the intense Ghost Energy that was visible to the naked eye.
"What are you doing here?"
Scarlett Jennings raised her eyebrows, looking at the unmistakably Emma White’s dress on the woman, finding it an eyesore.
"After all the trouble to occupy that house, aren’t you afraid some other little ghost might take over while you’re gone?"
The woman before her was the ghost who had once tangled with Josiah Garrison in dreams, the girl pitied in Scarlett Jennings’ original story.
Glanne.
Glanne, when she died, was just 25, but her appearance seemed like a woman in her thirties. Despite her effort to dress up, she lacked the naive quality of a young ghost, nor was she as timid as she was in life, and she even exuded the confidence of a Big Ghost of fifty years.
"A little ghost is watching it for me. Besides, there are no Big Ghosts around better than me."
Glanne said, not forgetting to sway her body and then used a negotiating tone with Scarlett Jennings,
"Master Jennings, wouldn’t you say I’ve helped you this time?"
"You helped me?" Scarlett Jennings asked coolly.
Glanne instantly felt deflated but still barely maintained her Big Ghost demeanor,
"You know, the reason I didn’t act against the Garrison Family before was out of respect for you. This time, dealing with the Garrison people was to vent for you."
Otherwise, given her current cultivation, just making the Garrison people give up the villa wouldn’t have been so troublesome.
Not to mention during the show filming, she behaved herself and didn’t cause any trouble.
Wandering the mortal world for fifty years, she had long adapted to the times.
"So I had the Garrison Family give you the villa instead of introducing someone to take you out."
Scarlett Jennings spoke earnestly, Glanne was visibly stifled, her face slightly embarrassed.
"After living together for eighteen years, you’re so heartless."
When Scarlett was young, before she joined the Mystical Sect and couldn’t protect herself, she was bullied by Isolde Garrison. Yet, it was Glanne who secretly helped her.
Hearing this fifty-year-old ghost grumble, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but ask her,
"What do you want by finding me?"
She didn’t believe Glanne would just leave her newly acquired villa to chat.
Noticing Scarlett Jennings’ impatience, Glanne stopped hesitating and took out a photograph.
