At this moment, she was no longer just a fierce ghost. Her blood - red eyes were extremely ferocious, as if she had gone completely mad.
As a shrill scream escaped her lips, the silver bell in her hand suddenly rang.
My body trembled violently. The panicked look on my face just now was now replaced by a strong killing intent. I slowly turned towards Yu Xiao. My eyes were as cold as ice, shooting out cold glints.
Even though Yu Xiao had turned into a demon at this moment, she was still stunned and took a sudden step back when she felt the gloomy pressure around me.
But it was too late. My gaze was burning with intensity. A silver light flashed by, and Yu Xiao's body was like being hit by a huge object. She was directly smashed into the bleeding bathroom glass.
The glass shattered all over the floor. Then, I deftly threw out a yellow talisman, which landed on Yu Xiao's chest. With the power of the talisman, she was nailed to the living - room wall.
"Ah..." Yu Xiao let out miserable screams. A large amount of white smoke billowed out of her body. The blood that had previously mixed into her body flowed to the ground along with the rising white smoke. Her whole body lost all color and began to gradually turn white.
It was said that a soul would turn white before disappearing.
I calmly got off the stool and slowly walked out of the living room. At that moment, all the lights in the living room came on.
"You even dare to covet my woman. It seems you really don't want to live anymore." This voice came from my mouth, but it was Gu Yuan's.
When Yu Xiao led me to the bathroom just now, I had already felt a familiar power enter my body, which helped me break free from Yu Xiao's confinement.
At that moment, I seemed to feel that Gu Yuan had given me a reassuring signal, telling me not to be afraid. So I had the courage to kick Yu Xiao.
"Who... who are you?" Yu Xiao, pinned by the talisman paper, wailed in pain but still didn't forget to ask who was inside my body.
"A dying person is not worthy of knowing my name." Gu Yuan's voice was cold and emotionless.
"Yu Xiao, you have committed many evils. Your unwarranted obsession is too heavy. You hate being beaten to death back then and have been waiting in vain for the person you love.
"When you found out that Cheng Kuan was the reincarnation of Wang Chen'en, you were so extreme that you thought every woman who entered this house was Wang Chen'en's lover. You even had the killing intent and killed one woman after another.
"Now you even want to kill my woman. You really have a lot of nerve."
"They are all whores. They seduced Chen'en. If it weren't for them, Chen'en would have come to me long ago."
Yu Xiao was still in denial and tried to break free from the talisman paper. But the more she struggled, the faster her body dissipated.
"And Cheng Kuan, he is not Chen'en. He has imprisoned Wang Chen'en's soul. I will kill him. I want him to release my Chen'en. Woo - hoo - hoo..."
"Stupid woman, Wang Chen'en had a fiancée before he met you. If we calculate like this, what are you? Aren't you also someone else's lover?"
"You're lying. I'm not a lover. I'm not. He said he only loved me." Yu Xiao was already crazy, talking incoherently.
"His soul was sealed by Cheng Kuan and he lost his memory. That's why he had other women. As long as there are no other women holding him back and I kill Cheng Kuan, my Chen'en will come back. We will surely be together forever."
"Give up this idea. Wang Chen'en doesn't even want to see you." Gu Yuan's words were clearly provocative.
"Why? Why do you say so? Tell me?" Yu Xiao struggled to know the answer, but Gu Yuan said nothing.
Yu Xiao swayed her body, getting more and more excited. The white smoke from her body rose more violently. Her soul was about to disappear, but she still kept asking why Wang Chen'en didn't want to see her. He clearly loved her so much and promised to be with her in the afterlife.
Gu Yuan didn't say a word. He walked straight up to the mirror. At this moment, my gloomy face was reflected in the mirror.
Gu Yuan blinked his eyes slightly. With a "pop", the mirror shattered into pieces on the ground, and a large amount of fresh blood oozed out from the cracks of the mirror.
As the mirror shattered, Yu Xiao let out a miserable scream. Her soul gradually dissipated and completely disappeared from this world.
I looked down into the mirror. A pair of blood - stained embroidered shoes were lying inside. This was the only relic that Yu Xiao left in this world.
Gu Yuan recited a spell, and the pair of embroidered shoes burned without fire, as if this person had never been in this world.
"The sins of nature can be forgiven, but the sins of man cannot."
Gu Yuan revealed the truth. In fact, Yu Xiao had been waiting for the wrong person all along. Her death was actually planned by Wang Chen'en.
Back then, after the affair between Wang Chen'en and Yu Xiao was exposed, Wang Chen'en begged his fiancée for forgiveness. To show his loyalty, he even thought of killing Yu Xiao to get rid of this stain.
He was also afraid that Yu Xiao would turn into a fierce ghost to seek revenge on him after her death, so he staged a ruse.
He didn't act before because he still lusted after her body. After the matter was exposed, Wang Chen'en finally made up his mind to kill Yu Xiao.
If two people don't truly love each other, they won't be able to see each other on the way to the underworld.
Moreover, Wang Chen'en had drunk the soup of forgetfulness from the Lady Meng. He had forgotten all his past lives. Even if Yu Xiao killed him now, his soul would only be Cheng Kuan. There was no way he would have any connection with Yu Xiao.
Either one of these reasons was enough to separate them for all eternity, not to mention both.
Gu Yuan didn't give Yu Xiao the final answer until she died. This was really torturous.
I looked at the pair of embroidered shoes that had turned into ashes and felt a pang of pity. "Gu Yuan, isn't this a bit too cruel? Why didn't you tell her the truth?"
Gu Yuan didn't say a word. Instead, he walked behind me and took a look at the wound on my back. It should have stopped bleeding, but it still hurt a little when gently touched.
"Some things are more painful to know than not to know."
Indeed, if she had known that the person she had been waiting for for nearly a century was actually the one who killed her, it would have been more painful than death.
I continued to speak with my back to Gu Yuan.
"She was driven by hatred because of love. In fact, it was Wang Chen'en who first betrayed her. She is also a poor woman."
"A poor person must have something hateful about them. If we let her go just because she is pitiful, how can we explain it to the two people in the room?"
Gu Yuan was right. Wrong was wrong. Even if she repented, she couldn't make up for the mistakes she had made.
After Gu Yuan treated the wound on my back, he put his own clothes on me.
I quickly pushed open the bedroom door and took Li Meizhuang and Xiao Mei out. At the same time, Lin Xiaobao and Ji Xiang kicked open the door and rushed into the house.
"Little Ma, Little Ma, are you okay?" As soon as Ji Xiang saw me, he shook my body to check if I was okay. His worried expression was obvious.
I was almost shaken apart. I quickly broke free from his hand and said, "I'm okay. Let go of me quickly."
Ji Xiang glanced sideways at Cheng Kuan, who was lying on the ground unconscious. He immediately shifted his target. He grabbed Cheng Kuan by the collar, cursed loudly, and slapped Cheng Kuan hard.
"Damn it! It's all your fault. If it weren't for saving you, I wouldn't have jumped into the maze. I almost couldn't get out, and I almost killed Little Ma. Do you think you deserve to die?"
When Lin Xiaobao saw that Cheng Kuan's face was swollen from the beating, he quickly stepped forward to stop Ji Xiang. During the tug - of - war, Cheng Kuan, who was unconscious, was actually awakened by the slaps.
He opened his eyes in a daze. Ji Xiang poked his eyes hard and opened his third eye. Cheng Kuan wasn't scared when he saw Li Meizhuang and Xiao Mei. Instead, he burst into tears and kept kowtowing to them, saying sorry.
Just as they were hugging each other and crying, a woman walked out briskly behind Gu Yuan. She had a sweet face, a hot figure, and a pair of bright, twinkling eyes. She was a perfect beauty.
"Gu Yuan, this must be Lan Lan you were talking about. She's... um... really beautiful." Her voice was sweet and nice, but I could detect a hint of cattiness in it.
