009 Help me Kill Someone
Linghu Shui Yue returned to her own chambers, lifting the bead curtain, entering, latching the door behind her and plopped her butt on an ancient in color and fragrance cushioned chair, tossing the jade pendant in her hands around.
“Linghu Shui Yue, what is this? Why did you take ninth lord’s jade pendant?” Linghu Shui Yue questioned the empty room.
Looking carefully at the jade pendant in her hand, it was carved with a character. On one side was written the character “Hong”, the other side was carved with a life-like dragon!
Ancient people were ancient people, always likened themselves to be dragons and phoenixes amongst mortals. However, this Zhu You Hong was indeed from the legitimate dragon bloodline. In this space-time, only the accessories worn by the descendants of the imperial family can be carved with the shape of a dragon.
A ball of smoke emerged from Linghu Shui Yue’s body, a nothingness and weightless voice answered her in the air: “Teehee! This is getting you a happy fate ah! Don’t you think ninth lord is incredibly handsome?”
“Bullshit! That is your opinion! Ninth lord is too much of a sinful man! I am not going to fall in love or marry someone in this baffling space-time. Have you avenged all your hatred? Can you report to King Yama now?”
“I….can still linger in the mortal world for a night. Before dawn tomorrow, I will leave. There is another person. I want to kill him!”
The voice of this ball of smoke was the dead Linghu Shui Yue. Her voice can only be heard by Linghu Shui Yue whose soul has transmigrated.
“Kill someone? Who?” Linghu Shui Yue was in another space-time a few days ago. Why would she stumble into this space-time for no apparent reason, she still doesn’t understand.
But, she can accept the Heavens’ arrangement. In her original space-time, she was shot in the heart by her beloved and died. Now even though the body was a different one, her heart still hurt.
“Marquis Dai, Dai Wei Hao’s son, also known as the capital’s little tyrant, Dai Wu Qing.”
“Why kill him?”
“He humiliated me on the streets! One time on the streets, I encountered him. He took advantage of me while I was slightly tipsy, holding a chicken in his hands and made me undress.”
“Are you stupid? Did you undress?”
“I was stupid when I was alive! Smelling the fragrance of roast chicken and wine, I couldn’t help wanting to eat and drink. I really took off an outer coat. Fortunately, the two attendants sent by my father appeared just in time.”
“Only just took off an outer coat? You didn’t take off anything else?”
“It was just an outer coat but if my father didn’t send people to follow me, I don’t know if I would have continued to undress.”
“En, though he didn’t achieve intention, his motives were sinister. Alright! I agree to avenge you when I find the opportunity in the future.”
“No need to be in the future, tonight is an opportunity.”
“Tonight?”
“Tonight is Yan capital’s Yu Qiong Lou’s annual huakui (voted most favorite in brothel) contest. This Dai Wu Qing is a lecher. He will definitely show up at Yu Qiong Lou.”
“You want to go to Yu Qiong Lou to kill someone? You’re a lunatic, how would you go?”
“Have you forgotten? I have a twin brother Linghu Huo Ri ah. Besides, this time, I will give you full control. My soul is very weak. I can only watch from behind the scenes. Your martial arts is awesome! As long as you take action, you can definitely kill Dai Wu Qing.”
“You want me to disguise myself as your brother to commit murder?”
“Well, yes. Because my brother is physically weak, he can’t do martial arts. Even if Dai Wu Qing is murdered in Yu Qiong Lou, no one will suspect my brother.”
“As a human, you’re mad, but as a ghost, you’re sharp. Okay! Tonight, I will do one last thing for you, fulfilling your wish so you can be reassured as you report to King Yama in the Underworld.”
