Chapter 241: As Expected of the Empress’ Man!
“Beauty, I’m here!”
Zhao Yuhu quickly got up to open the door.
However, after the door opened, there was no one outside.
“Could I have heard wrongly?”
Zhao Yuhu closed the door and returned to his bed.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The knock on the door sounded again. Zhao Yuhu sat up abruptly, his scalp tingling.
It occurred to him that the beauty wouldn’t knock.
“Who … who’s out there?”
Zhao Yuhu shouted, wanting to intimidate the other party with the domineering aura of an emperor.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
At this moment, another knocking sound suddenly sounded in the empty and quiet bedchamber.
Zhao Yuhu listened carefully. Someone seemed to be knocking on the wall.
However, there was no one else in the chamber except him.
Who the hell was banging on the wall?
“Could it be… a ghost?!”
Zhao Yuhu swallowed hard.
“Your Majesty…”
At this moment, a faint voice sounded, echoing in the empty bedchamber.
When Zhao Yuhu recognized this voice, his pupils constricted. “Qing’er!”
A white light glowed in the gloomy chamber.
Jiang Yuqing, dressed in white, crawled through the gap in the door. She looked up and stared at Zhao Yuhu with her blood-red eyes.
“Your Majesty, you are so cruel! Why did you force us to our deaths?”
“Have you forgotten your pledge of honor?”
“Is that woman so worthy of your affections that you would rather kill your own beloved concubine and son for her?”
Sensing Jiang Yuqing’s boundless resentment, Zhao Yuhu was so frightened that his entire body trembled, and his speech became incoherent.
“Qing’er, I…”
He stopped in midsentence as he saw something even more alarming.
Jiang Yuqing crawled under the beam, took a glass bead string, tied it to the beam, and hung it on the beam.
Her eyes were on Zhao Yuhu.
The originally slender and fair neck was quickly cut open by the sharp glass bead line, and blood flowed.
In the blink of an eye, her neck was completely broken.
Crack! The head and body fell to the ground.
With a rumble, her head rolled to Zhao Yuhu’s bedside. She opened her eyes and said hatefully,
“Zhao Yuhu, I hate you!”
“Only by skinning you alive can I relieve the hatred in my heart!”
Roar ~
Jiang Yuqing’s head roared, and her hair grew longer again, instantly binding Zhao Yuhu’s feet.
Bang!
Just as Jiang Yuqing pulled Zhao Yuhu to the ground and was about to bite him to death, a terrifying ghost aura suddenly descended from the sky.
Jiang Yuqing was so frightened that she quickly tidied up her hair and fused her head with the corpse.
He turned to see a woman in a long red dress walking through the palace door.
“Beauty!”
Zhao Yuhu’s eyes lit up.
This woman in red was the great beauty who had been sleeping with him recently.
Zhou Shuang looked at Zhao Yuhu charmingly. “I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I’m late!”
“No! No!” Zhao Yuhu hurriedly crawled to Zhou Shuang’s feet. “As long as you can come, I’ll be extremely happy!”
“Hehe.” Zhou Shuang sneered. “As expected of a generation’s incapable ruler. You really don’t forget to womanize even until death!”
Zhao Yuhu was shocked. “Beauty, you…”
Crack!
Before he could finish, Zhou Shuang grabbed his hair and broke his neck.
Then, she chanted a few incantations and swallowed all the blood that Zhao Yuhu spat out.
Zhou Shuang licked the blood from the corner of her mouth and revealed a satisfied expression.
“Although you’re an incompetent and incompetent ruler, after gathering the luck of the country, your blood essence is still quite delicious!”
“I didn’t spend so many days with you in vain. Hehehe!”
After witnessing Zhou Shuang kill Zhao Yuhu, Jiang Yuqing also understood Zhou Shuang’s identity. “You’re a ghost cultivator!”
She had been born into a military family.
Since her father had also come into contact with ghostly cultivators, she was able to determine Zhou Shuang’s identity from her actions.
Zhou Shuang looked at Jiang Yuqing coldly.
“I didn’t know you were such a persistent woman.”
“When you were alive, you thought of ways to stop me from being with Zhao Yuhu. Now that you’re dead, you’ve become a Blood Corpse to pester me!”
“But this is good too. I don’t need Zhao Yuhu anymore. I can even eat you to increase my cultivation. I really didn’t waste my time in Liufeng Kingdom. Hahahaha!”
Jiang Yuqing said angrily, “The child and I died because of you. In that case, you must die too!”
She suddenly stretched out her hands, her ten fingernails stabbing at Zhou Shuang like steel knives.
“I’m not afraid of you even if you become a zombie king, let alone now, when you’re injured!”
Zhou Shuang immediately saw through Jiang Yuqing’s weakness and instantly circulated her True Essence to release the ghost aura in her body.
Phew!
The terrifying ghost aura turned into a huge shield and slammed into Jiang Yuqing, instantly dissipating her resentment.
Jiang Yuqing screamed and fell heavily to the ground. She looked up at Zhou Shuang in unwillingness and horror.
“The quasi-emperor realm!”
Because she had been attacked by Zheng Chixia, Jiang Yuqing’s strength was still at the Supremacy Realm.
And she sensed that Zhou Shuang’s ghost aura was a level stronger than hers.
It was obvious that Zhou Shuang was definitely a ghost cultivator at the quasi-Emperor Realm!
“If I eat you too, I might surpass the Emperor Realm!”
Zhou Shuang laughed wildly and threw a terrifying ghost technique at Jiang Yuqing.
“Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring!”
Phew ~
The ghost technique that she had just thrown out suddenly turned to ashes under a huge wave of divine power.
Huh?
Zhou Shuang and Jiang Yuqing were shocked.
They felt as if their surroundings were filled with divine water, and their entire bodies were soaked in boundless divine power.
Under this divine power, they all felt like tiny ants that could be crushed at any moment.
Zhou Shuang’s beautiful eyes were filled with fear. “Is there such a terrifying mighty figure in the Liufeng Kingdom?”
It had been a month since she sneaked into the palace to steal Zhao Yuhu’s emperor’s providence. She had never heard of anyone with a higher cultivation than her in the Liufeng Kingdom.
Not to mention a terrifying mighty figure who could make a quasi-Emperor Realm cultivator like her feel like an ant.
They saw a white light appear in the void.
There was a handsome young man with a green-robed priest behind him.
“Zheng Chixia!” Jiang Yuqing exclaimed.
She recognized the green-robed Daoist priest as Zheng Chixia.
Jiang Yuqing couldn’t help but ponder when she saw Lin Xuan.
To be able to make a Sect Master like Zheng Chixia act like a lackey, this handsome young master in white must be extremely highly esteemed.
Zheng Chixia cupped his hands at Lin Xuan and said, “In order to deal with a Blood Corpse like you, I specifically invited the Consort to take action!”
Consort?
Zhou Shuang and Jiang Yuqing both looked extremely terrified.
So this powerful figure was Empress Mystic Ice’s husband!
As expected of the empress’ man, his appearance was stunningly handsome!
Jiang Yuqing hurriedly lowered her head and said, “Your Highness, I must have lost my mind to try to kill you. Please spare me!”
Lin Xuan stared at Jiang Yuqing and realized that the resentment on her body had decreased a lot.
Lin Xuan felt that it was probably because Zhao Yuhu was killed that most of Jiang Yuqing’s obsession disappeared.
It had to be known that the reason Jiang Yuqing had become a Blood Corpse was because she had developed a bone-deep hatred for Zhao Yuhu. That led to her obsession for revenge.
This obsession was the main reason Jiang Yuqing kept becoming stronger.
Now that Zhao Yuhu had been killed in front of Jiang Yuqing, her obsession had dissipated.
Jiang Yuqing was still a ghost.
However, she wasn’t as dangerous as before.
Based on this, Lin Xuan said, “Seeing that you’re also a pitiful person and didn’t kill any innocent people, I’ll show you mercy today.”
“Later, I’ll get Sect Master Zheng to chant sutras for you to help you enter the cycle of reincarnation. You have to take care of yourself.”
“Okay!”
Jiang Yuqing was overjoyed when she heard that and hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Xuan again and again.
“The Consort is mighty and benevolent!”
“Under your protection, North Mystic Heaven will definitely prosper and have a bright future!”
