The astral body belonged to Sebastianâhe looked like the guy Mason had seen outside the Locke residence in the daytime, It was just that Sebastian had been comatose and on a stretcher in the day. Heâd been pale and skinny. This astral body wasnât like that, though.
His hair was combed back neach, and he had a broad forehead His features were chiseled He had a tall nose, and his lips were pursed slightly His looked a little empty because he was nothing but astral body, and the mole beneath his right eye seemed to make his a little softer Madison seen countless goodâlooking people after loving two lives. None of them combined arrogance and rothlessness with devilishness well as Sebastian did. It was as if the adjectives had come into existence because of him âSo, you can see me.â Sebastian floated over to her and stopped before her.
She nodded. âYes, I can.â
âNot only can you see me, but you also get rid of the things that have been plaguing me â
âThat was ghostly energyâ Madison sat down.
Sebastian didnât say anything She looked at him, her eyes glinting with interest.
He was an oddityâhe had golden light all around him and was enveloped in auspicious energy. He was supposed to be someone with massive good karma and fortune, yet there was deathly energy all around him, he didnât have long to live. How interesting!
âSystem, how much fortune can someone like him provide me Madison asked.
âMuch more than a regular individual can, of course Heâs a Chosen One, just like Rebeccaâ
Madison smirked, âYouâre mveloped by ghostly energy, and your soul is unable to return to your body. If you drag this on any longer, you wonât have long to live.â
Sebastian asked, âDo you have a way to fix that?
She blinked and palled out a . âYou can try this and see whether it does anythingâ
As soon as the words were out at her mouth, the talisman litted from her hand and headed toward Sebastian. When it came into contact with his astral body, he disappeared with In the villa next door, the medical equipment into Sebastianâs body started beeping. Heâd been lying still in bed when his eyes suddenly flew open. He turned his head slightly and was pleasantly surprised that he could move Unfortunately, a force pulled hum back from behind. Before he knew it, he was back in Madisonâs room on the bed smiled perfunctorily at âHow was It?*
Sebastian was shocked on the inside but put spacalm front âNot too .
Madison didnât anything else. He continued, âCan you help return my soul to my body?
she looked at him âNot at the momentâ
âWhy?â
âBecause I donât have enough â she sounded matterâofâfact Sebastien fell silent and floated toward the window.
Madison said, âThereâs something special about your astral bodyâyou seem to easily attract ghostly energy. Youâll lose your rationality emce thereâs too much ghostly energy around you.
âWhen that happens, youâll start attacking humans. And once attack humans, then be plenty of people ready to come after youâ
Sebastian silently lasted back.
Madison continued, âYou have a golden light you, which means you have mass good karma. And with the auspicious energy surrounding you, that moms youâre destined for good things.
âHath of these come together to man that youâre supposed to be someone important and influential in the olden days, you probably wouldâve been along who would bring prosperity to the land and whose reign would last for years.â
She paused, then continued, âNow, however, your soul canât him to your physical body, shortening your lifespan. Duping the period your soul is out of your body, if the ghostly energy makes you lose your rationality and hurt someone, righteous cultivators will come to each you.
âThe good karma on you will become theirs. This is actually a complex way of tricking the heavens. Opce whoever is behind this succeeds with their plan, not only will you die before your time, but you also wonât reincarnate wellâ
Sebastian listened silently to Madison, his emotions remaining in check.
She couldnât help admiring his composure. She continued, âThe spell already been cast, and Iâm lacking spiritul energy. I canât help you break the spell, butâ¦â
She spilled, koking confidentâ can help you keep antral body clean. Iran also guarantee that Iâll help soul return to your physical body before your lifespan ends.â Sheâd made it clear that she wasnât capable of anything right now, yet she all looked proud.
glanced at her. âWhat do you want in return?â
âPeople in the mystic arts view causation and effect very seriously. By helping you, Iâm causing something to happen- the effect is that youâll repay me financially. When you have cause and an effect, weâll end up not owing each other anythingâ
He looked around her bedroom. â
not short on cash.â
âNobody would ever complain about having too much money.â Madison couldnât help thinking what a skeptic Sebastian was âHow much do you want?â
âIt depends on how much you want to give â
He was right about one thing, though. She wasnât short on cash, but she was short on karma and .
He fell silent for while. âI donât have any money with me right now.â
âThatâs line. You can always repay me when your soul is back in your body.â
That night, the rusting of the leaves in the wind woke Madison up. She opened her eyes groggily to see Sebastian standing by the window. He had his hands behind his back as the moonlight permeated his astral body. He looked dreamlike After few seconds, Madison turned away from him and went back to sleep Sheâd already told him she could make his soul return to his body. What was there to be so serrowful and pensive about?
Sebastian didnât miss her actions, but he didnât turn to look at her, either. His gaze was focused on the villa next doorâthe lights were still on there.
Inside the room he was looking at lay his physical body. Half .
At the time heâd been standing right beside the doctors. From that moment on, heâd remained around his body and watched as doctor after doctor checked him, giving the same conclusion Later, the Hall family had hired many experts of the mystic arts to check on him. Some of them had chanted around him, and some of them had cast spells.
even been a few of them who saw him Unfortunately, theyâd clamored about him being the spirit that had made his physical body end up in such a situation and had tried to eliminate him.
Ultimately, the abbot at Clearwater Monastery had read his fortune and told his family that he stood a chance at survival if he were to head to Riverview And so, had sent him over.
Sebastian had actually long since lost hope. To his surprise, heâd non into Madison on his first day in Riverview. She could see him and get rid of the ghostly energy around him. He turned look at Madison, whoâd fallen deeply asleep in. His expression anftened. Heâd regained a sliver of hope after meeting her.
Madison got ready to the house after breakfast the following morning Tam saw her carrying satchel and asked, âWhere are you going?
âTo the northern outskirts Why are you going somewhere so far away? What are you doing there? Iâll ask the driver to drop there.â
Madison Lightened the straps of her satchel. Iâm going to check on a grave.
Tanya fell silent. Then, she a deep breath, trying to calm herself. âMaddie, just stop doing those pointless things. How about you stay at home with me and watch some TV? Or maybe we could go shopping together Madison âItâs not pointless. This is geomanry âwell, thatâs not something a young lady like you should be involved in Besides, what do you know about geomancy when youâre still so youngâ
starting to get angry because of Madisonâs disobedience. âNo one elseâs child does these things like you do!â
Just then, Jordan bounded into the house and greeted Tanya with smile. âMorning, Mrs. Locke,â
He turned to Madison, and his attitude became much more respectful âLet me take you to the northern outskirts, Ms. Locke!TM Tanya fell silen L.
Ms. Locke? Why was Jordan calling Madison that? Were the youngsters nowadays all into these weird habits?
