Chapter 2422: Needed Oxygen!!
Ning Shu picked up another book, and after she finished reading, she asked 2333, “Can I see the entrustor now?”
“… Not yet. Let’s wait until the black hole caused by the two pearls fusing disappears. You shouldn’t get too close to the black hole either. If you get sucked in, I can’t save you,” said 2333.
Ning Shu: …
“Then let’s enter the task,” said Ning Shu.
Ning Shu felt a moment of dizziness, then her soul entered another body. She heard a bang bang bang sound. When she opened her eyes, all that entered her vision was pitch-black darkness.
She could faintly hear the sound of someone singing, but she couldn’t understand any of the words.
Furthermore, her lungs felt like they were burning. She had been holding her breath for so long it felt like her lungs were about to explode.
She needed oxygen!!
Ning Shu started touching her surroundings. She had been trapped in a very small space.
The banging from outside still continued. It almost sounded like they were nailing in a coffin.
She was being buried alive?
Ning Shu immediately stopped moving. The more she moved, the more she’d use up the precious little oxygen within the coffin.
How come she encountered something like this the moment she came to this world?
As Ning Shu held her breath, it felt like needles were stabbing her lungs. Her consciousness was starting to become hazy.
She silently chanted the methods of the Unsurpassable Martial Arts and a thin stream of spiritual energy poured into her body.
Thanks to the spiritual energy, she finally stopped feeling so suffocated.
She started cultivating while receiving the storyline.
The original host’s name was Liu Xiaoya. She was almost 14 years old, and the reason why she was here was that she was about to get married. However, it was a ghost marriage.
Usually, ghost marriages were made through a ‘ghost matchmaker’ by pairing the birth characters and death dates of two deceased.
However, there were some ghost marriages in which someone deceased was matched with someone still living. Since ghosts and humans had different paths, the chosen living person would have to die.
Generally, it was women who were sacrificed for marriage. No men got sacrificed for this.
Liu Xiaoya came from an ordinary family that struggled to feed themselves with their fields.
A wealthy local family had wanted to hold a ghost marriage for their son. At first, Liu Xiaoya’s parents refused to agree to it, but their family was seriously in dire straits.
Furthermore, Liu Xiaoya was a girl. So in the end, they sold her for 10 taels of silver.
10 taels of silver was no small amount. People like Liu Xiaoya’s parents couldn’t even save up one tael of silver in a year.
Liu Xiaoya was taken to the rich family’s house, washed clean, put into a wedding dress, and then locked into the coffin.
Following that, she got buried alive.
Ning Shu: !!!!
Afterward, perhaps because it was not Liu Xiaoya’s time to die yet, the wife of this wealthy family had a dream. She said that she saw her son in the dream, and her son told her not to let his wife die.
Setting aside the question of whether this was true or not, in any case, Liu Xiaoya survived this calamity and her fortune even turned, allowing her to become a rich young madame.
The price was a lifetime of widowhood.
Compared to death, this result should have been slightly better, but that wasn’t the case.
Liu Xiaoya felt that the Li residence was haunted. Sometimes she would see a pair of extremely pale hands with blackish-red nails suddenly reach out from beneath the bed.
Every night as she slept, she felt like there was something extremely heavy pressing on her body. She would even faintly hear the sound of someone calling out to her.
She told the Li family that there was a ghost, but they didn’t believe her.
So Liu Xiaoya lived every day full of fear, to the point she became very haggard. Her lips were bloodless and she was always out of it.
That ghost said that she was his wife, that he was Sanlang.
Liu Xiaoya’s ghost husband had been the third son of the Li family.
Liu Xiaoya was extremely scared. She felt like she was constantly in an ice cellar. Her body had no trace of warmth.
