Chapter 29 The Female Spirit Who Has to Work
Winona was bringing a bowl of noodle soup to Hannah’s room. Hannah liked to sleep in, even on schooling days, she would sleep until ten o’clock.
Usually, Winona would serve breakfast in bed, soothe her grumpiness and prepare her for kindergarten.
Lilly greeted her but she replied to her greeting in an aloof manner. Suddenly, she looked down at the bowl of noodles that she was holding.
The noodle soup is boiling, what if I drop it on Lilly’s face…
Winona was shocked by her own intrusive thought, she quickly calmed herself down and walked past Lilly with her typical standoffish face.
Lilly felt a sense of fear, “Master, what is that on Aunt Winona’s face?!”
Pablo was floating beside Lilly, “It’s the aura of death.”
“What is the aura of death?” Lilly asked.
Pablo squinted his eyes and said, “Means…she killed a person.”
Only a person who has killed someone and stayed beside them when they were dying would have this aura.
Lilly felt extremely concerned. She hugged her rabbit toy tightly and jogged back to the room to find Polly.
Pablo asked curiously, “Why are you bringing Polly?”
Polly was a talkative bird, he tended to babble random words and sing questionable songs when he was bored.
For instance, ‘Baby Kitty, meow, meow, meow, meow’.
Can you imagine a parrot imitating a cat?
It’s disastrous!
Lilly said, “I feel worried about leaving Polly at home!”
What if Aunt Winona kills him and makes him into a dish…
Polly instantly puffed up his feathers which was a sign of alertness.
“Monster! Concerned! Concerned!” Polly screamed loudly.
Lilly petted him to calm him down, “Let’s go now!” She said.
She was wearing an overall jumpsuit while carrying a kitty bag. The little toddler with two braids then ran down the stairs with a rabbit toy in one hand and a parrot in another.
How could she be so cute?!
Mrs. Crawford who was always worried sick about Lilly urged repeatedly, “Please take care of Lilly! Especially you, Liam, don’t let Lilly get out of your sight.”
“I know, mom,” said Liam impatiently.
“Let’s go now !” said Edward hurriedly.
Liam’s heart melted at the sight of his adorable niece.
Having such a cute little niece, of course, she should be taken out to show off!
At the same time, Winona was trying hard to wake Hannah up. However, Hannah refused to get up from bed. Winona stood up and looked down from the balcony.
She frowned when she saw Liam carrying Lilly into the car.
He never even carries his own daughter!
Lilly looked up and locked eyes with Winona. She jumped and hugged Liam’s neck tightly.
Liam followed Lilly’s gaze and raised his head. He glanced at Winona coldly and closed the door.
The car drove further and further away from the Crawford Mansion, Winona felt irritated and upset but she did not know why…
Liam was the highest-ranking architect in the National Infrastructure Development Company whereas Edward was the managing director. Similarly, Liam was in charge of external matters whereas Edward handled internal matters. They were both important people in the company.
Now both of them were working on the infrastructure development of the West City Development Zone which had been going on for six years.
Winona did not know why she felt a sense of anxiousness. It was said that the place where the accident happened had already been under development, and no trace nor evidence can be found anymore.
Unless… that person revived…impossible!
Winona calmed herself down and proceeded to wake Hannah up in a soft and melodious voice, “My little Princess Hannah, wake up…”
After finally sending Hannah to the kindergarten, Winona came back to Crawford Mansion. Little did she know that Bettany waiting for her in the living room on the first floor.
“Bettany…”
Bettany pointed at the sofa and signaled her to sit down, “Why does Hannah go to the kindergarten at this hour every day? Have you ever thought that she might interrupt the children’s afternoon nap?” She said coldly.
“Of course not, Bettany. Hannah is a thoughtful girl…” Winona defended.
Bettany let out a sarcastic laugh, “Really? I have been too exhausted to intervene in your matters all these years, but now…”
…
After that, Winona left the room, with her face as pale as paper.
How could Bettany reprimand her?!
She was not her biological mother, she was just a mother-in-law. How could she reprimand her?
Winona did not owe the Crawfords anything, how could Bettany poke her nose in her family, her marriage?!
Winona felt extremely upset, she took her bag and went out to join her mother for shopping.

Liam and Edward brought Lilly to the construction site. She could not help but let out a grasp when she saw the enormous stadium that was still under construction.
“Uncle Liam, what is that?”
“This is the newly built stadium.” Liam grinned.
Lilly laid her chin on the window, and her eyes sparkled with amusement, “Such a beautiful stadium, it looks like a massive watch that fell from the sky.”
The main body of the stadium is a circle and it was surrounded by gear-shaped auxiliary buildings.
Liam was stunned and looked at Lilly ecstatically, “Even Lilly saw it?!”
The building was inspired by a mechanical watch and it took him a very long time to design it.
Lilly tilted her head and asked, “Is this designed by you, Uncle Liam?”
“Yes, it is.” Liam finally found someone who understood his design.
Lilly pressed her thumb on Liam’s forehead.
“Good job, Uncle Liam!”
Liam laughed at her childlike spirit.
What Lilly said was too true to his heart.
“A watch that fell from the sky”…Yes, it indicates the stillness and the passing of time…yet humans’ dedication and determination in sportsmanship will never die.
He felt extremely warm he could not help but to give her a big hug.
Pablo woke up from his nap and yawned, “Oh, we’re here. Come, Lilly, let me teach you how to exorcise.”
He raised his hands and took the female spirit out of his jar. He pinched the fingers and middle fingers together and quickly cast a spell on her forehead.
“This is called the working spell, when you cast it, the female spirit will work for you.”
The female ghost who got woken up so early in the morning: “…”
Does it make any sense?
Summoning spirits out to work in broad daylight would get her killed!
Oh wait, she already died. In fact, she died here.
The female spirit looked out of the window depressingly.
“Normally, ordinary spirits, wandering spirits, and woeful ghosts cannot appear during day time. However, resentful spirits might appear but they will hide in elevators or mezzanines. Whereas malignant spirits are the worst, they can do whatever they want in broad daylight.
Lilly nodded as if she understood everything.
“Well, as for this ‘Ugly Aunty’… she can’t be under the sun. When the door opens later, she will disappear.”
Ugly Aunty,”…”
Stop calling me ugly!
Lilly widened her eyes in shock.
Is she going to die once again?
“Let me teach you the Soul Shifting Spell, which generally means to attach her onto a certain object so that she can survive under the sun,” Pablo said.
The best object was an umbrella, especially a black umbrella.
However, this was irrelevant to soul-shifting and it was definitely not convenient for Lilly to bring an umbrella everywhere she goes.
“Let us find an object first, something that is light and can fly.”
Pablo looked at Polly subconsciously.
Lilly turned in the same direction and mumbled, “Light, that can fly…”
Polly sensed a premonition and screamed, “No picking my feathers!”
Pablo was speechless.
Lilly quickly calmed him down, “Okay, okay, we won’t pick your feathers!”
At the same time, Liam looked at Lilly confusedly.
Lilly opened her kitty bag and delved into it.
In a few seconds, her eyes sparked with excitement!
The female spirit’s face twitched when she saw what Lilly was holding…
