252 Unlucky Fu Yu Shen

" G…Grim what?" Fu Yu Shen stood up suddenly just as the bus lurched forward with a big screech, sending him flying face forward on the metallic floor of the bus with a loud bang. For two seconds he felt like he has crossed over a completely different dimension as he looked at the metallic floor and at the passengers who were looking at him but that was only until the pain from that fall hit him like a bone-crushing wave and he groaned out loud, " Damn, I...I ..it feels like I am dying, it really hurts..ohh my head…someone help me up."

" Are you okay?" A delicate voice asked him and Fu Yu Shen raised his head and almost sat up straight when he saw the pretty woman who was sitting on the seat next to the aisle looking at him with concern.  " Are you feeling dizzy like you are going to move on to the afterlife?"

Feigning weakness in front of pretty ladies was how Fu Yu Shen usually scored them and because the woman in front of him was so pretty he completely forgot that he was sitting in a bus full of ghosts. With a painful grimace, he pretended to act as if he was really hurt by the fall, " Yeah, my head looks like it's being split into two... I think I am almost on the way to losing my life…"

" Are you for real? Like seriously?" This time the woman turned to look at Fu Yu Shen with her entire face facing him and it took all his courage to not jump up and let out a scream because the woman in front actually had a …had a.. a sword stuck in the middle of her face! Pretty or not, he could almost see the bugs and worms crawling at her festered wound! " Would you mind——"

" I think I am okay," just as the woman stretched out her hand towards Fu Yu Shen, he immediately scrambled to his feet and ignoring the throbbing in his head said, " I think I am feeling completely all right, it hurts but I am okay …I think I will live."

"Tsk, what a loss," the woman clicked her tongue and turned to look at face the front again.

Fu Yu Shen immediately rushed back to his seat, seeing him walk back over, Fang Yanli clicked her tongue as well and scoffed. " God, what an idiot?"

" You don't want to show yourself?" asked Song Yan ignoring what happened right now as she turned her head sideways and looked at Fang Yanli. Though she could have made her presence known, Fang Yanli chose to keep herself hidden.

" Being in the presence of that man is torture enough as it is," she said with an eye roll. " And you want me to show myself to him? I would rather not. I can even imagine his scaredy cat of a reaction if he finds out that you have a ghost as a friend. So, I would rather keep myself hidden lest he starts shouting and screaming." She glanced at Fu Yu Shen's trembling calves and snorted. " What kind of man is he? I think he is a chicken born as a man."

Song Yan said nothing and watched Fu Yu Shen climb over to the back seat and sat beside her, breathing hard and fast as if he had just come back after running five miles.

" That ghost ..why did she look so disappointed when she heard me say that I will live? Is there really that much of a shortage of good looking men in the underworld?"

" God, he is such a narcissist," looking at Fu Yu Shen in disbelief Fang Yanli stared at him in surprise. " He has to be kidding me if he thinks that he is good looking." Though she said that Song Yan could detect that she was lying to both herself and Song Yan.

"No," ignoring the admiration in Fang Yanli's voice, Song Yan calmly answered Fu Yu Shen, " If a human is hanging between life and death and he encounters a soul that has been wandering for a long time, there is a possibility that the ghost might possess that body by severing ties of the soul with its host." She turned to face Fu Yu Shen and further added, " Congratulations for making out of that alive, for I was certain that you were going to start dressing up and dolling yourself with makeup, would have been quite a big shock for your brother."

Fu Yu Shen heard her and then stared at her for two minutes and then—— a painful sob escaped his lips as he turned around and looked out of the window. " Why..is this happening to me? What have I ever done? Someone, please tell me."

Song Yan opened her mouth to respond but he immediately raised his hand and stopped her by raising his hand, " There is no need, I know…just let me cry at peace for two minutes."

She did as he asked and left him to cry in peace for two minutes straight.

Though Fu Yu Shen was someone whom people could knock down easily his resilience was something that Song Yan both admired and feared, not even two minutes passed and Fu Yu Shen was already done with his crying as he looked at her and said, " What's going on though…why are you going to see the Gr...Grim Reaper?"

Song Yan's eyes flashed and she tilted her head to look at Fu Yu Shen with a mysterious smile. " You really want to know?"

Something about the glint in her eyes warned Fu Yu Shen not to ask, so he immediately shook his head and said, " No, I think I am fine..there…there is no need for you to trouble yourself."

" No, if you want to know I can tell you."

" No, No, No …." frantically waving his hand Fu Yu Shen slid even closer to his window and said, " I am fine without knowing what it is."
