Chapter 299 The Lazy Little Celestial Master Gets His Bride Stolen by the Yandere Ghost King (26)

"His name is Shen Ye, and he is my elder brother, born of the same mother."

"My family was very prominent. My aunt was the most favored concubine of the emperor, my father was the general who protected the country, and my elder brother Shen Ye was a young general praised by everyone in the capital. At that time, our Shen family was extremely prestigious."

But precisely because of this, her achievements overshadowed the emperor's, arousing his suspicion. As a result, her aunt had little chance of having children. The emperor had long intended to deal with the Shen family, so he specially arranged a welcoming banquet.

The night before the incident, my father and brother were talking in the study. I don’t know exactly what they said, but I know that they parted on bad terms.

Because I was playing, I didn't attend the banquet. Later, I heard that Shen Ye had raised an army and rebelled. My entire Shen family was slaughtered, and even my aunt was forced to hang herself with a white silk ribbon.

Only I escaped this calamity because I went outside the city with Uncle Lin while I was playing. Later, Uncle Lin and I were caught and died.

Shen Zhuo downplayed his death, but Yu Sheng knew that Shen Zhuo must have suffered a lot back then.

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but simply hugged him gently.

Shen Zhuo continued, "Actually, before that incident happened, my relationship with Shen Ye was the best. He was five years older than me and doted on me, his younger brother."

Although I know that this matter is ultimately the fault of the corrupt emperor, I just can't get over it. What if... what if he hadn't rebelled in a fit of anger back then?

But I also secretly hoped that he would succeed in his rebellion. If he succeeded, wouldn't our Shen family be spared from being executed along with our entire clan?

But in fact, he did not succeed.

The Shen family was exterminated along with nine generations of their relatives, and even the living creatures in the Shen household were not spared.

Shen Zhuo harbored resentment towards Shen Ye, but he resented the dog emperor even more.

He never knew how to get along with Shen Ye, so he awkwardly avoided letting anyone mention anything about Shen Ye.

"What's wrong? Is your wife feeling sorry for me?" Shen Zhuo grinned and leaned close to Yu Sheng, giving him a light peck on the cheek.

"Chen Zhuo, how did you die back then?"

Shen Zhuo said casually, "He was tricked by his subordinates into being surrounded by the dog emperor and shot to death by a hail of arrows. As for what happened to his body, it was probably thrown into a mass grave, or maybe fed to the dogs."

"That's why I said my death wasn't very elegant~"

Uncle Lin whispered, "They've been riddled with arrows and turned into hedgehogs. How can that be considered elegant?"

Yu Sheng felt extremely distressed.

"Chen Zhuo, were you in a lot of pain back then?" Yu Sheng felt extremely distressed, and at the same time, an inexplicable anger rose in her heart.

That damned emperor should be torn to pieces!

If I had known, I would have had 888 find a way to enter this little world a few hundred years earlier. He wouldn't be Yu Sheng if he didn't beat that dog emperor to a pulp!

She dared to set up a sieve around her husband? She's gone too far!

"Actually, it's not so bad. I died so quickly that I didn't feel anything. But now I'm glad I died back then, otherwise I wouldn't have met you, Sheng Sheng."

If he hadn't died back then, wouldn't he have missed out on his beloved wife?

Although he waited for nearly a thousand years, he finally got to see his wife, didn't he?

Uncle Lin curled his lip: I'm really impressed. This is a popular term these days—love-struck.

It seems his young master is a hopeless romantic! And henpecked!

"Your comment is really something else, you're so love-struck!" A pleasant male voice rang out, and the two looked up to see a man in black robes with red eyes and white hair on the roof.

Shen Zhuo immediately sounded the alarm and quickly shielded Yu Sheng behind him.

"How did you get out?!" Shen Zhuo's tone was filled with disbelief, and his gaze at the person on the rooftop was anything but friendly.

"If you can be released on the Ghost Festival, why can't I, your older brother?"

The man on the roof was none other than Shen Ye, the elder brother Shen Zhuo had mentioned earlier.

The two looked somewhat alike, and Yu Sheng immediately guessed who the other person was.

What puzzled him was that Shen Zhuo had previously said that all his relatives had been reincarnated. So what was going on with this one in front of him?

Shen Ye jumped off the roof, and Shen Zhu retorted, "Why didn't you fall to your death?!"

"How can you talk like that? No wonder you only came to see me once after I've been imprisoned in hell for so many years. I never imagined you were harboring resentment towards me."

Clearly, Shen Ye had just overheard the conversation between Shen Zhuo and Yu Sheng.

"Why are you eavesdropping on people's conversations?!"

"What's wrong? So you're allowed to talk about me behind my back?" Shen Ye didn't back down at all, leaning closer to Shen Zhuo and forcibly rubbing his head.

"It's my fault. I was too impulsive back then. But luckily, I killed that dog emperor's whole family! The dog emperor exterminated my nine generations, so I'll exterminate his ten generations!"

What Shen Ye said is true.

The reason why Yan Jun restricted Shen Zhuo from going to the human world was because he was afraid that Shen Zhuo would kill his entire family like his brother.

If the Soul Reaper hadn't arrived in time, the souls of the entire dog emperor's family might not have survived.

Nevertheless, the dog emperor's soul was still chopped up by Shen Ye and fed to the ghosts in the River of Oblivion.

Those so-called descendants of the dog emperor were just countless offspring, and were long gone from Shen Ye's death list.

Yan Jun feared that Shen Zhuo would become a second living Yama, not even sparing the reincarnations of others, so he dared not let Shen Zhuo go to the human world.

It can be said that Shen Zhuo was restricted from going to the human world partly because of Shen Ye.

"Heh, if you're so powerful, why didn't you kill the emperor's family while you were alive, but instead turned into a vengeful ghost to kill them after you died?!"

In response, Shen Ye said, "The process doesn't matter, the result is what matters. If Yan Jun hadn't imprisoned him in hell later, not a single ghost of that dog emperor's family would have survived!"

He is a true living Yama.

He will only be satisfied when the dog emperor and his family are completely wiped out.

Seeing the murderous aura surrounding Shen Ye and his increasingly excited expression, Shen Zhuo quickly pressed him down, saying, "Stop! Put away your murderous aura, or you'll hurt my wife."

He then turned to Yu Sheng and said, "He has killed too many people, and sometimes he becomes delirious. Wife, don't pay any attention to him."

It would be bad if Shen Ye hurt his wife.

When a vengeful ghost kills, it is easy for it to lose control of its murderous intent, become delirious, and harm countless people. This is why Yan Jun imprisoned Shen Ye in hell.

The karmic fires of hell can burn away the sins of killing on Shen Ye's body, but so far, the effect does not seem to be ideal.

"Does Yan Jun know you ran away? Why did you escape from hell?" Shen Zhuo was puzzled as to why Shen Ye had come here. Could it be that he was after his wife?

In a sense, it has prompted us to reflect on the truth.

Shen Ye pointed at him and Yu Sheng.

"I heard those evil spirits gossiping that you have a wife, and that your wife is quite fierce, kicking you eight miles away?"

"How could I, as the elder brother, not come out to see what was going on?"
