Translator: 549690339
Lanke city.
The sun was setting.
The city that was bustling with noise and excitement during the day gradually began to rest.
Ji Manor.
The third young master, Ji Chenglong, was as drunk as usual in the brothel. Supported by a servant, he staggered back to his residence through The Corner Door.
He was the son of the master of the family, but not the eldest son. He had two older brothers, one more capable than the other. Even though he was already in his twenties, he could not get involved in the many businesses of the family. He could only idle around all day long, waiting for his mother and father to pass away and divide some of the family’s assets before he set up his own business.
Because of this, Ji Chenglong had been a frequent visitor to the brothels since he was born. He had always respected his wife, who was of equal social status, as cold as ice.
At this moment, he returned to his own courtyard. Just as he stepped over the threshold, he saw that the candle in his wife’s embroidered tower was still lit just a moment ago. Perhaps it had heard some movement and was instantly extinguished.
“Third young master, third young mistress seems to be resting, why don’t we go ...” Before the manservant’s whisper had ended, Ji Chenglong had already become furious and started to curse, ” “Preposterous! I’ve been busy all day outside and only came back, but not only did she not feel bad, she even gave me that face ... To hell with that virtuous and virtuous woman, she’s trying to cheat me of my marriage!”
As he said that, he shook off the manservant’s support and went straight to the embroidered tower. He cursed, ” I must make her get up and serve me today ... &Quot;
The manservant let out two ” AI ” and ” AI ” sounds, but he was unable to stop his drunk master. He could only watch as he crashed into the embroidered tower.
Looking at the embroidered building in the day, it could be called a carved beam or painted building with clouds and phoenixes carved in it. It was extremely gorgeous.
But at this moment, dusk had already fallen. There was no light in the dark building, and there was no sound at all. Even if he knew that the mistress and her maidservants were living inside, there was still an indescribable sense of fear.
The manservant originally wanted to chase after his master, but when he thought of his mistress’s cold face and how she did not like outsiders to barge into this embroidery building, he hesitated again and again. In the end, he stopped and only found a corner outside to guard.
As for Ji Chenglong, after he entered the embroidered tower, he only saw darkness, no light and no sound, as if there was nothing. His heart became more and more depressed.
“You dare to play dead with me? I’ll scare you to death!” Ji Chenglong had originally intended to shout and force his wife to come out. But suddenly, this thought appeared in his mind. Thus, he immediately kept quiet and went upstairs in the dark according to his memory, trying to scare his wife.
As he had drunk a lot of wine, he was not very clear-headed at the moment. In addition, in the dead silence of the darkness, he was in a daze. He did not know how he walked or how long he had walked. In his daze, Ji Chenglong suddenly woke up with a quiver.
At the same time, he saw a glimmer of light in front of him, so he subconsciously followed the light source.
After walking for a while, Ji Chenglong’s eyes suddenly opened up. He found that he had walked out of a dense forest.
In front of him was an empty space.
There was a small mound in the open space. Upon closer inspection, there was a stone tablet in front of the mound with the words ‘Ji Shuang’ er’s grave ‘written on it. It was a gravestone!
After realizing this point, Ji Chenglong turned pale with fright.
Didn’t I return to the residence?
Wasn’t he going to find trouble for his wife?
Why did he appear in the forest and in front of this lonely grave?
Besides, Ji Shuang ‘er ... Who was Ji Shuang’ er?
As he thought of this, Ji Chenglong suddenly remembered that Ji Shuang ‘er ... Was the young lady of the Ji family! His biological sister from the same father and mother!
A year ago, this younger sister had just been engaged. Yimu pitied that it was inconvenient for the girl to move around with her mother’s clan after she was married. She specially reported to grandmother and took her to live there for a short time. After that ...
Right!
After that, his sister went missing on the way back!
Along with a group of capable managers and guards of the Ji family!
But strangely, no one in the Ji family, including Ji Shuang ‘er’s aunt who had brought her to stay for a short while, noticed anything.
It was as if Ji Shuang ‘er had never existed!
But now, he had suddenly come to Ji Shuang ‘er’s grave.
As he thought of this, Ji Chenglong broke out in cold sweat and almost cried out in fear.
He quickly covered his mouth. He couldn’t scream!
Who knew if their cries would attract dirty things?
After forcing himself to calm down, he immediately and carefully retreated.
After retreating to a position where the grave could not be seen, Ji Chenglong randomly chose a direction and ran!
He didn’t know how far he had run, but he only stopped when he was exhausted.
It was too strange!
He had to report Ji Shuang ‘er’s matter to his parents and elders as soon as he got home!
No, no, no, the Ji family didn’t have any cultivators, so they probably couldn’t deal with the evil.
He had to report this to the city Lord!
Only through the city Lord’s mansion could he invite the immortal Masters who were rumored to be able to move mountains and seas and pick stars and moons to the Ji mansion to cast spells and exorcise the evil. Otherwise, he would not dare to stay in the Ji family, no, Lanke city any longer ...
As he thought of this, Ji Chenglong wiped the sweat off his face. When he raised his head, his expression immediately froze: Ji Shuang ‘er’s gravestone was not far away from him.
He had just run so far, and now he was back to square one!
Ji Chenglong was scared to death. He did not care that he had not recovered his strength yet, he quickly stood up, found another direction and ran away.
However, just like before, no matter how long he ran or which direction he ran in, he would return to Ji Shuang ‘er’s grave as soon as he stopped.
“Sister ... Sister ... I’m your brother, I’m your biological brother!” As he ran, Ji Chenglong finally ran out of energy. He was so tired that he collapsed on the ground. Looking at the gravestone that had appeared in front of him again, he was covered in tears and snot. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to the gravestone, while begging for mercy hysterically, ” I know I was wrong! I shouldn’t have forgotten you ... I shouldn’t have forgotten you ... But you’re already buried in peace. Yin and yang are different. If you ... If you feel lonely, I’ll find someone to tell you a netherworld marriage ... Please let me go ...”
“I beg you, sister, please let me go ... Let me go ... Let me go ...”
The next morning.
Ji Chenglong woke up groggily from his sleep and found himself lying on a narrow bed.
This was where his wife usually took a nap. The decoration was simple, and it was not particularly comfortable.
Therefore, when Ji Chenglong sat up, he only felt that his back was sore and there was no place in his body that felt comfortable. He had slept for a long time, but his spirit was particularly weak. He was so tired that he wanted to fall back and sleep again.
He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have had a very terrible nightmare last night.
However, he could not remember the contents of the nightmare at all ...
At this moment, a servant’s careful reminder came from outside, ” “Third young master, it’s time to pay respects to master and Madam.”
Ji Chenglong composed himself and said,”I know, I’ll pack it up now.”
