Chapter 243 Bewitched

“Honey, I’ll do you a trick.”

The disabled young man in the wheelchair was dressed neatly. Although he was wearing only coarse cloth, he still showed extraordinary temperament. At the moment, facing the ugly lady whose face was disfigured half, his smile was mild and bright, and even the bleakness between his eyebrows disappeared for a moment.

The ugly lady stopped her work and looked around. She saw that the young man turned one of his hands around, and a mask appeared on his palm. It was made of something jade-like but as white as bone in color. The delicate patterns flashed warm light under the dim oil lamp.

“Dear…”

The lady was very surprised and immediately stood up in panic and pressed down the hands of the disabled young man. She whispered, “Sweetheart, did you steal it from somewhere?”

The mask was so delicate that it was worth a lot. It was hard for their family to have a meal. It was even more impossible to have extra money to buy such thing.

Hearing the question, the disabled young man smiled, and his eyes were full of gloom.

“Don’t worry. The owner of this thing has always been me. I’ll teach you how to use it. It can be used to isolate the exploration of the psychic awareness, but for you, it’s enough to cover the wound on your face for a while. When our baby is born, I’ll compound a plaster to cure your face.”

The young man’s lips were slightly pursed. Thinking of his pregnant wife who even went to the street with an ugly face to feed the family, he tightly held his fists.

In the next moment, his clenched hands were gently held by the lady who had a moving smile on her ugly face. “Honey, it doesn’t matter. It’s my pleasure to be with you this life.”

Under the dim oil lamp, the disabled young man stared at her rough and ugly face, and gradually loosened his clenched hands. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Men wouldn’t easily shed tears, and they only wept when they deeply grieved.

“It was hard to erase my sins… even in the next life. How lucky I have met you at this moment, Li.”

…

“Su Li? Su Li?!”

As the shouting getting closer, her shoulders were shaken. Su Li suddenly came to her sense and her eyes gradually focused. A slightly anxious face appeared closely to her.

She blinked her reddish eyes, breathed slowly, and subconsciously stepped back for a few steps. The tea table behind her was knocked over.

Crash!

The teacups were broke on the ground.

Seeing that Su Li was scared, Ling Li found that he was too close to her. He became slightly stiff, and realized that he had left a worse impression in Su Li’s heart again…

“Don’t be afraid… I didn’t mean to.”

Ling Li tried to comfort her and was confused inside. Su Li in his mind should not be so timid.

“Miss! Miss! What’s the matter?”

Mammy Li hurriedly went upstairs and saw Ling Li, who had changed her clothes. Suddenly, she was startled.

Didn’t this man leave? Why was he still there?!

Originally, she had a bad impression for Third Master of the Ling Family. She thought that he was a kind of guy who the Miss could never get along with. But when she saw Ling Li that day, the more she saw him, the more familiar she felt. Then she suddenly remembered that he was the one who had been cured by the Miss in the yard of the valley.

They had same face but different temperament, but definitely they were the same person!

It turned out that the Miss and Third Master of the Ling Family both had another identity!

Mammy Li suddenly realized and she was secretly happy. So, it seemed that Master Ling Li was well matched with the Miss. Unfortunately, only she knew something about their identities.

“It doesn’t matter. I just knocked over the teacups. Clean it later.”

Su Li saw Wu Bin who was about to come from downstairs and she stopped him promptly.

Such natural action. Maybe even Su Li didn’t realize what it meant.

Clearly she knew that as long as Wu Bin came in, Ling Li would have to leave, so that she could communicate with Ling Li less. In this way, someone wouldn’t know that they were trying to hide something. But she stopped Wu Bin, because subconsciously… she didn’t want Ling Li to go.

“Yes, Miss.”

Mammy Li glanced at Ling Li and left with a smile.

Taking a breath and stepping forward to Ling Li, Su Li gently took the mask that he still held in his hand.

“Aren’t you afraid of exposing your identity to give me this mask?”

Ling Li couldn’t help laughing. He said with a shake of head, “No, I’m not afraid in front of you. It’s a secret treasure of the Yinmo Cult like the one I have. Wearing it, an ordinary people can change the face and evade the detection of masters from the longevity realm. Let me tell you a piece of password to use it.”

Pointing at Su Li’s glabella, Ling Li transferred the password to her but showed a pity in his eyes.

It’s a pity that his cultivation was not enough to overwhelm those elderly guys of the Yinmo Cult. Coordinated with the unique mental skill of the Yinmo Cult, the mask could be put into the body and carried all the time. It was the most valuable treasure that could save one’s life.

Originally in Dasu Town, he changed his face with the mask to escape from enemies. Or he would never get out with his real appearance.

Lowering her head and stroking the mask, Su Li gave it back to Ling Li, “It’s so precious that I cannot accept it.”

Ling Li frowned but soon looked alright. He put the mask on the table and said with a big smile,

“It’s just a common thing. There are many treasures in the Yinmo Cult. You’ve helped me a lot. Will you refuse a little gift of mine?”

Su Li bit her lips. If there were really a lot of treasures, why did he take this one with him when he had nothing in the previous life?

“OK, I’ll take it as your wish.”

…

Evening breeze rustled their clothes.

“Master, that’s the Yin jade-bone mask of the pairs which is reserved to give the wife of Hierarch as a present in the future. You give it to her… just like that?”

Reminding of Su Li’s reluctant expression, Ling Mo felt angry.

Ling Li smiled, “Didn’t you see that she was unwilling to accept it? If she can be my wife… I’ll be happy. But if not… I’ll wait for her. When I get into the longevity realm, do you think that I will be controlled by those old guys?”

“Of course not!” Ling Mo lowered his head and said firmly, “Master must be in the highest station in the Yinmo Cult.”

Ling Li squinted his eyes to end this topic. Looking at the busy night market, he said after a moment of silence, “How about the Wanjian Sect that you investigated?”

“It’s said by the Elders’ School that the Wanjian Sect was in a mess that their Young Head had left. Those in Yunjing were looking for the Young Head of the Wanjian Sect.”

Ling Li sneered, “Have you ever seen someone looking for their head so hostilely?”

Ling Mo was shocked, “You mean…”

“The condition of the Wanjian Sect is good for us. Our Yinmo Cult can have a rest and restore energy. The Dongfang Family should have contact with the Wanjian Sect…”

Ling Li looked grave. It’s more dangerous to find out the real murder for his father than his imagination.

It was at the Affiliated School of the National Academy.

After Ling Li’s leaving, Su Li took the mask to the underground adytum. She caught sight of the moving Poisonous Mother-Child Insect, and then looked back on the mask.

After so many ups and downs, this mask belonged to her again.

Inhaling a heavy breath, Su Li mumbled. The mask became lighter and lighter in a short time and transferred into liquid and flew into her body from her hands.

Closing eyes and seeing the pubic region inside her body, Su Li felt hot from the head to the toe and saw that the mini mask was lying in the central part of her pubic region.

Of course she knew how to make it into her body.

Though Su Li didn’t practice the mental method that the Yinmo Cult wouldn’t expose to outsiders, she was forced to memorize the difficult essays for thousands of times by Ling Li. Those words had been an inseparable part in her memory.

Even though she didn’t understand the intention of Ling Li, she obeyed him to practice and memorize the hard essays every day. Until confronting misfortune and getting the Ghost Valley Meditation Direction in the brothel camp, she realized Ling Li’s early prediction and regarded the secret method as a seed of revenge.

The cost of being crazy was killing Dongfang Rui by mistake instead of killing the foe contently.

Tick-tock—

Su Li lowered her head and found she had pinched her nails in her palms. Blood was dropping from her palms.

She stood up in silence and walked to the table. She took the glass of the Poisonous Mother-Child Insect to drop her blood into the glass. Suddenly, the insects smoked as if they were stimulated and their surface skin began to corrode.

Su Li, you’re just the evil ghost to revenge. You could only go to the hell even if you get the mask.

You couldn’t vacillate again…

At the same time while Su Li’s blood flowing into the glass—

In the distant frontier.

Zhu Yan numbly moved the stones which were much heavier than her. Her body was exposed with bruises. Like Su Li in previous life, her eyes were full of desperation.

After leaving Yunjing City, she wanted to make Su Li’s real identity public. Though she knew nobody would believe her, she was also content with telling it out.

However, the devil Su Li didn’t give her this tiny opportunity!

Because she became… dumb.

In the first day when she was dumb, Zhu Yan howled sorrowfully, and then she suffered wild hits by officers and soldiers.

After a while, she learned and was quiet. But her body began to ache sometimes. As time went by, she felt more and more painful that she couldn’t even fall asleep!

It was retribution!

Pulling the stone to the wall, Zhu Yan smiled silently with tears. This was not the God’s retribution… but the revenge of Erya who was tortured by her when she was a child. Her revenge was much fiercer than anyone else’s.

All of a sudden, she felt a burning pain on her back.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah!!!”

She screamed. The stone suddenly fell down from her hands and nearly hit the supervisor.

The supervisor was scared to death. He looked up and saw Zhu Yan on the City Wall. He couldn’t help swearing and then he went up to the wall with a whip.

“Bitch, you want to die!!”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”

Zhu Yan was scratching her whole body in horror. She looked terrifying and hideous with her skin bleeding. The supervisor was shocked. He stepped back and wondered that maybe the woman was mad.

“Help! Help! Something is burning me! Help!!”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”

Zhu Yan screamed painfully but she was dumb. No one could understand her meaning. More and more people came to look at her for fun. They surrounded her in a circle and guessed.

“Is she bewitched? It seems to be…”

Then everyone shrank automatically like chilling wind blew from their ears, “No bullshit, and take care of your head!”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”

While people were chatting with others coldly, Zhu Yan screamed and scratched herself to death, leaving much blood on the ground.

Seeing her stop breathing, people left as if nothing happened.

Millions of people died during the construction of the City Wall in the frontier. Zhu Yan was just one of thousands of people who died in a strange way.
