Chapter 268 Let go of that girl
With great grief, He Danggui clutched at her bosom, watching the scene of Zhu Quan embracing Concubine He and crying not far away. She saw Zhu Quan’s long hair falling on Concubine He’s body, like a black curtain separating them into an independent world, which looked very poignant.
Of course, this was just the opinion of the onlooking eunuchs and maids. He Danggui knew that must be something she hadn’t done for Zhu Quan before she died that made Zhu Quan so sad and frustrated.
Zhu Quan mourned for Concubine He for a moment. Under his long black hair, he was vaguely seen lowering his head slowly, and the two faces were very close. Seeing him holding this position for a long time, He Danggui realized that he might be kissing her body. She couldn’t help being ashamed and annoyed. She picked up a stone on the ground and was about to hit Zhu Quan’s head, but her wrist was restrained. When she looked back, she saw the 19-year-old Zhu Quan!
He Danggui swung her arms and shouted, “Let me go, you are a devil! Why did you lock me in this strange dream? Let me go!”
Juvenile Zhu Quan snorted, “Don’t play the fool! It’s clear that you are making these strange dreams in secret, making me believe that you and I were a couple in the previous life, and I lost my beloved woman. The emotions imposed on me made me deeply infatuated with you. Now the truth comes out. I know who you are in the previous life, so you are definitely not my beloved person, and you can no longer cheat me!”
He Danggui heard it clearly, but she continued to play the fool, “Lord Ning, you got me wrong. I have heard from Taoist Sage Bai Yangbai that you are his student and master all his techniques, including the skill of Fantasy Dream. The other day, it was you who locked me in dreams, right? You are so shameless to take advantage of another’s perilous state. Fantasy Dream is a profound technique in Eight-diagrams tactics. If I have the ability to create fantasy dreams, how can I be trapped in your dreams and be taken advantage of by you?”
“So, you knew what I did to you that day.” Juvenile Zhu Quan said shamelessly, “You were trapped by me because of my superb ability that prevented you from breaking free, and you didn’t want to break free. So, did you feel it very enjoyable? One more time? We can do it now. Anyway, they can’t see us. I will please you before killing you.”
When he said that, he stretched out his hand to hold He Danggui. He Danggui panicked and shunned him. In a twinkling, she had already come to the lotus pond. She looked in the mirror by the water, only to find that she did not have the colorful makeup in the dream. It was a fair face full of panic. She thought that Zhu Quan was a self-proclaimed hypocrite, but did not expect that he tore off his mask of hypocrisy in the dream. He turned out to be such a villain and rogue who bullied a weak woman. What could she do?
At this time, the middle-aged Zhu Quan at the Water Dungeon finished kissing Concubine He. He got up, picked up Concubine He and staggered away stiffly. Some eunuchs salvaged the small body of Tian, and waved in the back while calling out, “My Lord, what should we do with the body of the little infanta?” The middle-aged Zhu Quan walked away without response. His feet were numb for squatting too long, and he limped like an old man, sad and miserable.
He Danggui wanted to see how middle-aged Zhu Quan handled her corpse. He was so perverted that he kissed the dead. Would he do other excessive things? However, she herself was still running for her life. Juvenile Zhu Quan was hunting her. She didn’t know that if she was killed by him in the dream, would she die in reality?
Thinking about this, she suddenly felt someone holding her wrist. When she looked up, she saw the gloomy and dangerous eyes of juvenile Zhu Quan. He looked at her with an evil leer, and she screamed in her heart, “Oh, I’m doomed!”
Juvenile Zhu Quan pinched her cute jaw complacently, rubbed her cold and smooth cheek with rough fingertips, and kept his other hand around her waist. Finally, he shook his head and sneered, “You haven’t grown up yet. Such a green fruit makes people feel disinterested at a glance.” He said in a benevolent tone, “Well, I will let you go for the time being. You must grow up quickly, become a beautiful woman like Concubine He, and try your best to serve me.”
He Danggui escaped death, looking resentfully at the extremely arrogant juvenile Zhu Quan. It might be that people in the dream distained to disguise and didn’t know how to weigh the pros and cons. She wanted to beat him up, and then she did it. She punched Zhu Quan on his shameless evil face.
With a dull sound, juvenile Zhu Quan looked at her unbelievably. Her heavy punch successfully hit his left cheek, deflected half of his handsome face, and cracked the corners of his lips. A drop of blood flowed down to the ground.
He Danggui was shocked by herself. She didn’t expect to be able to beat Zhu Quan successfully in her lifetime. Although this punch was a drop in the bucket compared to the deep hurt that he caused to her, she was relieved as she lived under the pressure of Zhu Quan all the year round.
With this rare bravery, she punched his lower abdomen again, and successfully hit it. Then she repeatedly punched, punching every part of Zhu Quan she could reach. Seeing the juvenile Zhu Quan stepping back because of her fists, vomiting blood and falling to the ground finally, she was convinced that Zhu Quan in the dream was weak and not her opponent at all!
Was there such a good thing in the world? Could she hit the wicked Zhu Quan at will? Why not kill him in one breath? From time to time, she waved her fists bravely, stretched her leg to kick him, and beat the man on the ground to vomit blood again and again.
He Danggui further thought that if she beat Zhu Quan to death in this dream, would Zhu Quan in real life also die? As soon as Zhu Quan died, would she get rid of the shadow of death and fear? There was no trauma if Zhu Quan died in a dream, so she wouldn’t be to blame. Chang Nuo and others knew her martial arts and Zhu Quan’s, so they would never think that she would be able to kill Zhu Quan.
Zhu Quan owed her so much. He killed her three children, Xiaoyou and her mother. He also killed her, and Bai Yangbai might need to call back the spirit for her. After the spell was cast, his vitality would be greatly damaged, and maybe it was really gone as Qi Xuanyu said. In the previous life, Zhu Quan had killed so many people, not even caring about the corpse of his biological daughter. He was extremely cold-blooded. In this life, she was cautious, didn’t provoke him, and had no intention of killing him, but he who first offended first complained... She had a good reason to kill him!
Thinking of this, He Danggui really intended to kill him. Zhu Quan was also aware of it for the first time. He covered the bleeding wound and said coldly and calmly, “First, I just need to bite the tip of my tongue to get out of this dream. The reason why I don’t go out is to take you around the Lord Ning’s Mansion, which is your future home. Second, I am not here alone. Apart from Feng Yang, I also brought Ming Ri with me. If he didn’t see me for a long time, he would definitely find me here. If there was anything wrong with me, he would kill everyone present. I just heard the sound of breathing behind the screen. I guess, there must be someone hiding there.”
He Danggui was dumbfounded, and secretly talked to herself that she got dizzy with success. How could she be able to kill Zhu Quan, the great demon? A foxy person had more than one hideout. If he didn’t have plan B, how could he face her with such a weak posture in the dream? He was always prudent and would not show the weak point to the enemy.
Looking at Zhu Quan, who had been badly battered around the head and face by her, she didn’t know whether an apology would be useful, but for the lives of herself and Chubby Zhu, she yielded to him, “I’m sorry. I’m too impulsive to beat you. Please forgive me, forgive me for being rude.”
Juvenile Zhu Quan with a bruised nose and a swollen face got up from the ground, stepped forward to hold her veins, raised his chin, and said, “Come with me. I will show you a good play. As for whether or not to forgive you, it depends on my mood.”
After speaking, he took her to the door of Wu Xiang Ge again. She was worried about the bodyguard Ming Ri he mentioned, so she had to temporarily obey him, and followed him without resisting. Then, juvenile Zhu Quan closed his eyes slightly, muttering incantations. After a while, the sky suddenly darkened, brightened, and then darkened again. Repeated this way four or five times, the sky finally settled into a misty gray. The color was like the one the sun had just set.
He Danggui had also heard Bai Yangbai talk about Fantasy Dream before. She roughly understood that this was the fantasy dream of another person that existed in Zhu Quan’s mind. He was able to freely control it just because he had seen it countless times. In time, he could dial forward or backward. He said he would show a good play. What did he mean?
He Danggui looked up suspiciously, and found that the layout of the outside of Wu Xiang Ge was completely different. The entire attic was sealed with glazed bricks and the windows didn’t let the sunlight in, which looked very strange.
Juvenile Zhu Quan smiled unclearly, and pulled her to the door. After entering the door, he found a corner with a brocade stool, asked He Danggui to sit down with him, and then looked at the beam in a daze. He Danggui was even more stunned. How could Wu Xiang Ge, Zhu Quan’s study, become a dim icehouse? When did it happen? Anyway, she had never seen such a Wu Xiang Ge when she was alive.
He Danggui couldn’t help asking the juvenile Zhu Quan, “My Lord Ning, what are you doing? I have already explained it. I can’t use the Fantasy Dream. That year, I lied to you that I was a member of the Qiyanggong Sect. I didn’t know that you are Lord Ning, and did rude things to you. I apologize for that. Since you don’t like me at all, it’s better to take your thousands of gold gifts with you and...leave Yangzhou City.”
Juvenile Zhu Quan snorted, “That was easy for you. It’s true that I didn’t like you, but I’m tortured by the continuous fantasy dreams imposed on me by the evil. If I let you go, I will continue to suffer from lovesickness. Did you feel that kind of heartache just now? That is the trouble that I have often encountered in the past three years. I guess as long as you stay with me, I won’t have that painful feeling.”
He Danggui was panicked and disgusted. She hurriedly said, “Haven’t you told Taoist Sage yet? He is a very capable man. He will definitely help you solve this predicament. There is no more sophisticated user of Fantasy Dream than him in this world. Ask him for help!” At the same time, she thought, to be precise, except for Bai Yangbai, there was no second Fantasy Dream user in this world. Even Zhu Quan did not learn it well from him. Who created this messy and inverted dream?
Juvenile Zhu Quan sneered, “I didn’t expect you to know Mr. Bai so much, but I’ve changed my mind. No matter whether these dreams are your tricks or not, and no matter whether there is a way to erase these damned memories of love, I can’t let you go. You must follow me to my mansion.”
