Chapter 272 It was time to revenge
He Danggui was frightened, and subconsciously shrank back. What was going on? Qi Xuanyu, Ming Ri and Ming Yue couldn’t see her, but they could be hit by her, couldn’t they?
At this moment, Ming Ri was extremely dissatisfied with Ming Yue’s bluffing sound. He pouted and picked up the brocade quilt with countless small pinholes pierced by He Danggui. Then he walked a few steps and threw it on the ashes of Concubine He. He Danggui looked at this nasty man, and remembered that this person often obstructed her on the surface during those years. She wondered if he had framed her secretly. She died tragically in prison, and did he get involved in it?
Ming Ri turned around and scolded Ming Yue sternly, “The Lord is at death’s door. He needs a rest. How can you shout loudly? The holes on the quilt are probably caused by worms. After all, there is a corpse in this room.” He Danggui was bullied by Shangguan Ming Ri in her previous life, but Zhu Quan thought highly of this person. Even if Ming Ri excluded He Danggui in public, he would not be punished. Now she met him again in the Fantasy Dream, and felt that his voice sounded really harsh.
Ming Yue was in a daze, and suddenly shouted again, “Concubine He was cremated! Who did it? The Lord would be mad if he couldn’t see her after waking up!”
“She was cremated when I came in. Maybe the Lord did it.” said Ming Ri nonchalantly, “Just a dead person. All that fuss about a dead person! At the worst, we can find someone with similar looks for the Lord.”
At this time, Qi Xuanyu was still giving Zhu Quan an acupuncture treatment, while at the same time explaining how to put the needle, how to change the needle, and how to retract it.
Ming Ri looked back at Qi Xuanyu with a sullen look, “Royal Prophet Qi, neither of us understands medicine. We can only kill people with knives but not save people with needles. There are no others in this room. Who are you talking to?”
He Danggui was shocked when she heard that. She took a close look at Qi Xuanyu’s expression, but didn’t perceive anything unusual. Qi Xuanyu smiled and looked down. He replied casually, “It is my habit to explain acupuncture when giving a treatment. Ignore me, just as I am talking to myself.”
He Danggui looked at this unpredictable Qi Xuanyu wonderingly. He used to be the Imperial Astronomer of Qintianjian Celestial Prefecture and was now the Royal Prophet. He seemed to have some true skills. He Danggui suddenly became anxious and fearful, as if Qi Xuanyu could see her.
At this time, the young Zhu Quan on the ground gradually became conscious. He let out a muffled humph and twisted his neck to the left, as if he would wake up in the next moment. He Danggui didn’t want to get entangled with him in the dream anymore, so she stepped forward and repeatedly pierced his sleepy acupoint with a silver needle. Seeing him snoring asleep, she kicked him again. It was such a good and hard-won opportunity to vent her anger. If it weren’t for Shangguan Ming Ri, the accompanying bodyguard outside of Fantasy Dream, she would really like to kill him, an ambitious person, for the world.
Shangguan Ming Ri? He Danggui suddenly looked back at him and squinted dangerously. Since he couldn’t see her, could she attack him?
He Danggui picked up a piece of white jade paperweight that had broken in two, which she had just used to hit the middle-aged Zhu Quan. She aimed one piece at Shangguan Ming Ri’s head, raised her hand and threw it out in the air. A beautiful arc streaked across…
“Boom!” Shangguan Ming Ri clutched the back of his head and turned around. When he saw the paperweight falling on the ground, he couldn’t help asking angrily, “Who? Who hit me with this?”
“Hush, hold it down! The Lord is sleeping.” Ming Yue replied Ming Ri what he had just said, “I was kicked,” Ming Yue pointed to the bedside where He Danggui was in. “From that direction, someone kicked me, like a cow hoof!”
He Danggui was annoyed at the moment, and threw the other half of the paperweight at Ming Yue’s forehead. The always agile Ming Yue became dull somehow, and watched the white object come to him from far to near. Finally, he saw it in cross-eyed eyes, but was smashed into the face without moving. “Boom!” Ming Yue covered his forehead, and shouted, “Ghost! There is a ghost in this house! It must be Concubine He’s ghost! Well, it hurts. Concubine He is good at martial arts! What should I do? She is back for revenge!”
He Danggui was speechless, Concubine He’s ghost? Ming Yue was right. She said more than once before she died, “I will revenge. I will go on chasing you even after I die and become a ghost. I will definitely come back to you.” However, when she was really born again, she cherished the hard-won chance, so she did not want to repeat the same mistakes and step into the Lord Ning’s Mansion. Therefore, she decided never to see Zhou Jinglan, Xu Siniang, Xie Qiaofeng, Shangguan Ming Ri and other enemies of her previous life again.
However, in this weird dream that she was forced to enter, she suddenly had a chance for revenge! It was time for her to revenge.
He Danggui was excited, ignoring the danger that suddenly appeared from the other side. It turned out that when she hit Ming Yue for the second time, Shangguan Ming Ri had already seen the direction the paperweight was flying from, which was from the air 10 zhang away.
Shangguan Ming Ri used to follow Lord Ning to go to Nihon, and he had seen the magical Dun Shu (a kind of Kungfu that is unique and popular in Nihon, specializing on escaping or attacking others with the fully use of the surroundings materials) and ninjutsu, as well as invisibility. Therefore, seeing this situation, he immediately speculated that an assassin from Nihon sneaked in and assassinated the Lord, making it look like he committed suicide. Now, the assassin saw that the Lord was rescued, so he made trouble with the treatment. Thinking of this, Ming Ri touched the nine-section whip on his waist, and he looked murderous.
Instantly, Shangguan Ming Ri took actions. Centered on where He Danggui was standing, he swung his nine-section whip wildly in the space of the icehouse of the study. The tip of the nine-segment whip made of stainless steel was highly toxic. Each whip contained an overbearing force. The airtight whip shadow formed a net of death, trying to wrap He Danggui in it and kill her.
He Danggui was attacked by Shangguan Ming Ri. Then she hurriedly used the Mysterious Footwork which she learned from Chang Nuo to dodge the steel whip. She didn’t know how powerful the steel whip was, but every time she avoided the waving whip shadow, her face was hot and a little painful. Shangguan Ming Ri was so terrible. When did he have such powerful martial arts?
He Danggui remembered that Ming Ri’s martial arts level was only slightly higher than that of Zhu Quan, who was hiding his strength. Even if the time was pushed back, and their strength both increased, he should not have such a powerful skill. His internal strength seemed to be no less than hers, and his actual combat experience was even richer. In comparison with him, she was almost certainly defeated. She further thought that her attack was effective on them, and vice versa!
She escaped several times in the shadow of the whip. After a long time, she was exhausted. She did not expect that the enemy Shangguan Ming Ri was a diamond in the rough. Returning from rebirth with all the Zhenqi she received from the heroes, she still could not fight him and could only escape. But now it seemed that she couldn’t escape, because the door of the study was locked by Ming Yue!
He Danggui couldn’t help regretting it. She shouldn’t get dizzy with success and attacked these two guys who were born as killers. They probably killed more people than she had saved by practicing medicine in the two lives. Suddenly, a sentence that Qing’er often said came into her mind, “Yuck! Am I the Tyrant Zhou of Shang Dynasty?” Was she so arrogant that she would be killed?
“Will you be naughty again?” Qi Xuanyu suddenly spoke with a smile, “Now, are you regretting? Behave yourself in the future.”
He Danggui’s last line of defense supported by perseverance was broken by this voice, and her footwork was stagnant, so she could not avoid Shangguan Ming Ri’s fierce attack. When the whip shadow that was as dazzling as the noon sun fell and slammed on the top of her head precisely, what she thought was that the name Shangguan Ming Ri was really correct, because the steel whip filled with Zhenqi was as powerful as the sun.
Hit by the steel whip, she slowly fell backwards, but didn’t felt painful. She still remembered that it was extremely painful last time in her pervious life.
She closed her eyes and waited for death. Recalling her own life, she felt that it was a failure. It was at hand that she could defeat her enemy Sun Meiniang, but she died at this time. She had not yet said goodbye to her mother, Qing’er, Zhenzhu, Xiaoyou, Chan Yi and Zhu. She also hurt Duan Xiaolou’s feelings, and maybe she owed her life to Bai Yangbai in the previous life. She didn’t cherish her life again this time. Everyone, sorry...
The dark corridor in front of her seemed to lead to the other side of the world. She couldn’t see the road clearly and didn’t want to go any further. Her legs were weak. But when she fell slowly, someone caught her. Looking up, she saw a bright smile. This smile belonged to Meng Xuan, and it was the young Meng Xuan three years ago. She immediately felt hopeful and stood up straight, but she was surprised to find her body thin and slender, and her hands were incredibly small. She looked like a girl of seven or eight, even younger.
She asked, “Meng Xuan, why did you come into this dream? When did you come?” Did he see what the middle-aged Zhu Quan did to Concubine He? Would he look down on her and ignored her since then?
The young Meng Xuan rubbed her hair, and sighed, “It turns out that you were so weak and cute when you were a kid, like a yellow and fluffy little chick. It would be great if I knew you earlier. I will give you a home, protect you and raise you little by little. Finally, you will be my little hen.”
She lowered her head regretfully, “It’s too late to say these. I’m going to walk the cycle of reincarnation. Thank you for giving me the last ride. If you can help me take care of my mother, Qing’er, Zhenzhu, Xiaoyou, Chan Yi, and Zhu occasionally, then I’ll promise you a marriage in the next life.” After thinking about it, she added, “Sun Meiniang in the Second Branch of Luo’s Family is heartless and cruel. If you don’t defeat her, she will harm you sooner or later. I have a way to ruin her. Can you help me deal with her?”
The young Meng Xuan patted her head and laughed. He said loudly, “Girl, we are in the second life now. I missed you in the previous life, and you didn’t go to Shanhaiguan to find me, so that we lost a great marriage. We were separated and passed the whole life alone. In this life, you are my destiny. I swear by the sword that I will never let you go this time.”
As he said, he slowly drew out a long sword from his waist. He cut his long hair with it. Then a strand of black hair fell in his hand.
