Chapter 92 - Goodbye, Mom (2)



It took some time before Miss Xia finally calmed down. The lights within the room shone brightly as if nothing had happened earlier. With Bai Xinran finally crossing over peacefully, a heavy weight had been lifted off Miss Xia\'s heart. 

"Did she really go peacefully?" She clung onto Li Fei\'er arm, her eyes filled with tears. 

"En," Li Fei\'er assured her. "Bai Xinran is in a better place now. In due time, if Heaven permits, she will be reborn in the future." 

"Then, I hope she leads a happy life next time." Miss Xia wiped her tears dry and smiled. "I\'m her mom. The only thing I want is her happiness." 

"What about yours?" Shen Minyao asked curiously. 

"My child\'s happiness is also mine\'s," Miss Xia said with a smile. 

The fox woman furrowed her brows, but she refused to say more. What an odd woman, she thought.

Lu Anqi felt that the place had been truly freed from the strong spiritual presence that greeted them the first time they came here. Now that Bai Xinran was free and the truth about the curse had become clear, the only issue left was to see how things would end for Liang Sisi. 

"Can\'t we really do anything to clear the rumors about her webnovel? We knew, for sure, that it\'s not Yu Lai," Lu Anqi asked Jiang Chen as they started to clean up the mess they left at Bai Xinran\'s room during the ritual. 

"Do you think those people will easily believe us if we come out and claim that Yu Lai didn\'t curse her readers? It will be just like speaking to the wall. So useless." Jiang Chen huffed. He and the demoness shared the same view about the cursed webnovel. 

"Curses work through psychological principles. If you believe that you are cursed for whatever reason, you will become distracted. Your paranoia will affect your quality of life—including your sleep. You will be vulnerable to the self-fulfilling prophecy effect," he added. 

Most people were afraid of the unknown. Because the rumors had started to spread around, those readers—who were sick in the first place—blamed it on reading Yu Lai\'s book. People were familiar with the placebo effect on humans, but its counterpart—the nocebo effect—also bears the same damage to their minds and bodies. 

Both placebo and nocebo effects were presumably psychogenic, but they could induce measurable changes in the body.

"It\'s pointless to explain. They needed someone to blame for their misfortune," Shen Minyao agreed with him. 

"Ah, I just remembered. I thought I told you not to read her novel until we are certain, but you still read it anyway. Why?" Li Fei\'er asked the fox woman. 

Shen Minyao stared at the young shaman for a moment and chuckled. She wanted to say that even if the webnovel was truly cursed by its author, it wouldn\'t have an effect on a demon like her. 

Humans might be able to hex and bring harm to one another, but they wouldn\'t be able to harm demons of her caliber easily. Unless they were blessed with divine powers such as shamans, mere words wouldn\'t be able to hurt the demons. 

"But it\'s good that we are certain that Bai Xinran didn\'t curse her readers. Despite that, in most cases, you must know that words are powerful. Once spoken, it can never be retrieved, so you better watch your words when you are feeling angry or happy," Shen Minyao said. 

"Even if we\'re happy?" Li Fei\'er was confused. She could understand why they should be careful when being angry, but why was being happy also included?

"En, don\'t you people love to make promises whenever you\'re happy?" The fox woman asked. 

Li Fei\'er and Lu Anqi looked at each other and then realized that what Shen Minyao said made sense after all. There were some things that they might have carelessly said out of their blissful states. 

"I understand now." Li Fei\'er nodded. "I hope more people would be aware of things like this." 

Shen Minyao shut her eyes and leaned on her seat. Would humans be aware of it without thinking about themselves first? Humans were naturally greedy and selfish in nature. It was normal for them to think of themselves first before anyone. 

"So this is the end of it, right?" Lu Anqi asked. "I hope there won\'t be any more disturbances here." 

She certainly didn\'t want to experience the same nightmare all over again. Anyway, if Shen Minyao hadn\'t revealed that she had an ability to get in touch with the spirits, Lu Anqi would still be oblivious until now. 

She was now starting to train with Jiang Chen every day, and she would work occasionally with Li Fei\'er to stop the spirits from bothering her with her daily life. 

"We close our case here," Jiang Chen said, "We don\'t need to get involved with Liang Sisi as Miss Xia and her husband said they would need to review matters if they could find sufficient evidence that could prove that Liang Sisi had come here at the time of Bai Xinran\'s murder." 

"Then, if we\'re done here, could I ask you a favor?" Li Fei\'er almost forgot that Jin Qian was still waiting for her at the hospital. She still had no idea where to start in finding the child\'s missing mother. 

"A favor?" Jiang Chen raised a brow. "Okay. Considering you and Miss Shen have been a great help to us today, I suppose there\'s nothing wrong in returning that favor." 

Li Fei\'er\'s face lit up. She then relayed the events to them, how she met Jin Qian at the hospital during the infestation of the wraith at the ICU department. 

Jiang Chen listened carefully to her story, while Lu Anqi took down notes. It was a good thing they knew little information about the kid, so they could have a starting point to know more about her parents. 

"Alright. If that\'s the case, then we\'ll try to find information about her mother first.." Jiang Chen decided.
