Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Zhu’er Returns

Su Huan did not answer. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "I would like to be alone with her for a while, is that okay?"

Xia Wu frowned lightly. It was acceptable, yet...seeing Su Huan this way, she seemed a bit uneasy.

However, she agreed, then left with Han Jing and them, though they did not go far, just stepped out the door and stayed in the adjacent room.

Su Huan leaned against Xia Zhuzi’s coffin, his eyes quietly gazing at her face, without the initial grief or despair. Instead, there was an unusual peace, and he even pulled at the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile at her.

He clenched his fist, and suddenly, with exertion, blood began to flow down the corner of his lips.

Yet, his face remained smiling.

Just as he was about to exert force again, he suddenly heard a vague call: "Brother Huan—"

Su Huan was startled by the sound, but when he looked around, he saw nothing.

"Zhu’er, Zhu’er, is that you?" Su Huan asked excitedly and somewhat anxiously.

But no one answered him.

At this time, because they were uneasy and temporarily stayed in the next room, Xia Wu and the others also heard the sound and hurried back.

Su Huan’s lips were full of fresh blood, but his eyes were filled with anxiety.

Just now, he clearly heard Zhu’er’s voice.

"Zhu’er, Zhu’er, come out, I know you’re here, isn’t it you, isn’t it?" Su Huan shouted sorrowfully.

Han Jing urgently looked at Lianwu: "You, help quickly!"

Lianwu...he is the Ghost King, not the Ghost King of the underworld. Why does he always have to perform these rites for ghosts? If the Ghost King of the underworld found out, wouldn’t he blame him for stealing business?

Never mind, it wasn’t the first time helping anyway. Lianwu raised his hand, released a black mist, and Xia Zhuzi’s figure indeed appeared in front of the coffin.

"She did not die a natural death but was killed unexpectedly and was not freed in time. Therefore, after her soul left her body, she couldn’t control it on her own. Eventually, she would become a malignant ghost, incapable of reincarnation. Just now, she sensed something very important, that’s why she was brought back; otherwise, finding her would be troublesome. You’d better speak quickly and send her to the underworld soon, so she can reincarnate properly." Lianwu said calmly.

Even so, Xia Wu and Su Huan were moved to tears, almost wanting to kneel down and thank Lianwu.

But Han Jing timely dragged Su Yu and Lianwu out, as it was rare for them to reunite, they should not disturb.

The time is short; this truly is the final farewell.

Ning Shiqi also followed them out.

In the ice chamber, only Xia Zhuzi’s soul, Xia Wu, and Su Huan remained.

Xia Wu looked at Xia Zhuzi’s familiar face, but she couldn’t stop her tears: "Zhu’er, it’s Mother who let you down, Mother couldn’t protect you, it’s all Mother’s fault..."

Xia Wu was already sobbing uncontrollably, her heart filled with unspeakable remorse. She never thought she would have the chance to say this.

Xia Zhuzi looked at Xia Wu, then at Su Huan, and smiled at them: "Mother, Brother Huan, don’t be sad anymore. These days, I’ve been to many places, seen many people and things. I only just realized how happy I was. With Mother and Brother Huan loving me so much, I am truly very happy."
