In a histo...
Chapter 275 World Eleven (Sixteen)
Tan Qianfan was handsome, from a wealthy family, and a playboy. He had attracted many girls and met with them secretly. However, when these girls learned that Tan Qianfan was about to get engaged, although they were reluctant to give up their relationship with him, they knew that if they continued to be entangled with him, they would only be his concubines in the future.
The girl hardened her heart and cut off contact with Tan Qianfan.
Therefore, when Tan Qianfan counted carefully, he found that after he got engaged, the only one who had always stayed by his side and never left him was Huan Niang.
But Tan Qianfan frowned and categorically denied, "It can't be Huan Niang's. She has always been considerate and only cares about me. She has never asked for a name.
Furthermore, the young Taoist priest mentioned a lovesick ghost. Regardless of its obsession, it's still a ghost. But Huan Niang's body is warm, she's never afraid to walk in the sunlight, and her shadow follows her wherever she goes. Huan Niang can't be the lovesick ghost.
Tan's mother had also heard that many ghosts had terrifying faces and cold bodies, and they were completely different from the charming Huan Niang. But Tan's mother only said, "Although Huan Niang doesn't look like a lovesick ghost, we must be cautious when dealing with ghosts.
Let the young Taoist priest take a look at her. If she is normal, we can rest assured."
You Dongjun came here to catch ghosts, so he naturally agreed.
Led by Tan Qianfan, they turned left and right and arrived at an alley.
There were several families living in the alley. One of them heard the noise and opened the door, revealing a dark-faced man.
The man seemed to know Tan Qianfan. He looked at the others with his eyes darting around. Then he fixed his gaze on the precious fan and said with a frivolous smile, "Mr. Tan, such good fortune is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people."
First, there was a gentle and caring woman like Huanniang, who loved you so deeply that she was willing to be kept in the alley. Then there was this delicate and moving beauty by your side..."
Before the man could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his leg, as if he had been hit hard with a stone.
The man looked around but found no trace of the stone, so he closed the door in disappointment and went back to the house.
Baoshan could see clearly that the talisman that had just been stuck on the man's leg was now slowly flying back to You Dongjun's waist.
Baoshan pretended not to see anything and continued to follow You Dongjun in a weak posture.
Tan Qianfan walked up and knocked on the door as usual.
Only the sound of footsteps was heard, and the wooden door was opened, revealing a beautiful face.
This person has willow-shaped eyebrows and black eyes, and her every move and gesture shows her elegance.
She was wearing a lotus-white dress, and was exactly the Huanniang that Tan Qianfan mentioned.
Seeing that Tan Qianfan brought so many people, Huan Niang was surprised. She looked at Tan Qianfan and asked in confusion: "Sir, what are you doing..."
Tan Qianfan naturally didn't believe that Huan Niang was the so-called lovesick ghost, so he directly told them the intentions of several people.
Tan's mother was too late to stop him and thought that Tan Qianfan was stupid. Who would reveal all his plans before testing others?
You Dongjun's expression was indifferent, and his dark pupils looked at Huan Niang.
Hearing this, Huan Niang's face stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She smiled bitterly and said, "How could I be a ghost?"
Baoshan's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he felt that there was indeed something strange about Huanniang.
If Huan Niang were an ordinary person, and heard her lover making such speculations about her, and if she had a strong temper, she would definitely be furious and drive Tan Qianfan out of the house after being slandered as a lovesick ghost.
Even though he was soft-hearted and didn't get angry about this, he should have cared about Tan Qianfan and asked him why he was haunted by ghosts instead of his current reaction.
With his engagement blocked and haunted by ghosts, Tan Qianfan was already exhausted both physically and mentally.
Hearing Huan Niang's words, Tan Qianfan couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and covered Huan Niang's soft hand with his palm.
But then he heard You Dongjun's cold voice: "You seem to be very happy with this skin."
You Dongjun did not want to get entangled with Huan Niang, so he just pointed the smooth and bright side of the compass towards the white palm.
But in an instant, the soft thing in Tan Qianfan's hand turned into jagged white bones.
Tan Qianfan looked at the bluish white bones and was shocked. He quickly let go and hid a few feet away from Huan Niang.
Seeing this, Huan Niang's face showed a look of disappointment. If she were an ordinary person, such an expression on her face would be worrying.
Only Huan Niang's hand had completely turned into a pile of bones, making others feel no pity or sympathy.
Huan Niang complained, "Why is your Excellency hiding from me?"
Tan Qianfan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You, you are actually a ghost."
Huan Niang avoided answering and only said, "I have deep feelings for you, and I don't seek any status. I never feel jealous.
The reason why you hate me so much is that my appearance is not as good as yours."
As he spoke, the light from the compass in You Dongjun's hand was already reflected on Huan Niang's face.
A beautiful face soon returned to its original appearance - half dry bones, half human skin.
Huan Niang gently stroked the intact skin and murmured to herself, "Young Master, you must be getting tired of looking at this face every day. No problem, I'll change it to another one..."
Huan Niang's slightly dazed gaze fell on Bao Shan and Gu Xiaoxiao.
The precious fan nestled beside You Dongjun, and Huanniang was quite resistant to the aura of You Dongjun.
Therefore, although Huan Niang liked Bao Shan's face more in her heart, she had to turn to Gu Xiaoxiao.
Huan Niang thought to herself that it was rare to see someone with such bright and unrestrained looks like Gu Xiaoxiao, and she should be able to last for a while.
After saying that, Huan Niang pounced towards Gu Xiaoxiao. Her feet left the ground and her whole body turned towards Gu Xiaoxiao lightly like a fallen leaf hanging in the air.
No one expected Huan Niang to suddenly attack, and they did not move for a while.
Baoshan's two watery eyes were completely focused on Huanniang, so naturally she noticed Huanniang's act of catching people.
Baoshan's mind turned, and he pushed Gu Xiaoxiao aside.
When Gu Xiaoxiao fell to the ground, she looked slightly stunned and looked at the treasure fan with complicated eyes.
Huan Niang's palm, which had turned into dry bones, fell towards Bao Shan's arm.
Huan Niang had the intention of skinning Bao Shan's clothes, so her nails were sharp, almost like blades. As soon as they touched Bao Shan's clothes, she tore them into pieces.
There were traces of blood on Oubai's arm, and Baoshan subconsciously closed his eyes.
Just as Baoshan had expected, Huanniang's palm was blocked by You Dongjun before it could continue to fall.
You Dongjun drew out the peach wood sword and fought with Huan Niang.
They only saw a man and a ghost, whose movements were erratic and whose figures could not be distinguished clearly. Naturally, everyone did not know who to help.
After about half an hour, You Dongjun cast a spell and took the earthenware jar in the yard. He said coldly, "Collect it."
Huan Niang turned into white smoke and slowly entered the earthen jar.
When You Dongjun closed the jar, he could still hear a sad and mournful female voice.
You Dongjun used a Taoist magic to suppress the female voice in the earthenware jar.
On the ground, there was a skin and a set of dry bones left.
Tan Qianfan had already been frightened by the ghost-catching scene. He called out, "Little Taoist..."
You Dongjun passed by Tan Qianfan and bent down to check the injury on the precious fan.
Gu Xiaoxiao was standing beside Baoshan and had already bandaged the wound, but traces of blood were still oozing out.
Bao Shan's face turned pale and her body trembled slightly. She asked timidly, "Master, do you have any method to remove scars?"
Seeing her pitiful appearance, You Dongjun showed no mercy and said in a cold and hard voice, "No."
The precious fan drooped its head timidly, like grass blown by wind and rain.
You Dongjun casually handed the earthenware jar to Gu Xiaoxiao. Gu Xiaoxiao quickly reached out to take it and was about to ask You Dongjun what she should do. What if the lovesick ghost came out?
You Dongjun bent down, picked up the treasure fan and left.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt a mixture of emotions. She should have been angry, but if Bao Shan hadn't come to her rescue, her skin would have been torn off by the ghost, and she wouldn't have been able to stand here in peace. Moreover, Bao Shan was injured. This made Gu Xiaoxiao feel even more embarrassed. She felt that she was in a dilemma.
——Hating the treasure fan would make her seem cold and indifferent. Grateful for the treasure fan? Gu Xiaoxiao felt awkward again.
Gu Xiaoxiao was torn between her conscience and her own desires, and she only thought about how she should treat the treasured fan in the future. For a moment, she could not care less about You Dongjun taking the treasured fan away.
Looking at the mess on the ground and the people peeking out from the alley, Tan's mother could only bend down and pick up the skins and bones on the ground with Tan Qianfan.
You Dongjun was holding the treasured fan, walking to a deserted place. He suddenly bit his finger and fed it to the treasured fan.
"Drink it."
Bao Shan frowned and said timidly, "Why do you need to use this..."
You Dongjun simply said, "If you don't want to leave scars, this is the best medicine."
Upon hearing this, Baoshan leaned forward slightly and put You Dongjun's finger in her mouth.
Her soft tongue gently licked You Dongjun's wound.
It's like an ignorant little animal in the mountains and forests, soothing the wounds of its injured companion.
You Dongjun only felt that his skin was trapped in a warm and moist nest, being soothed and manipulated in the most gentle way.
Bao Shan's posture was very gentle, and You Dongjun only needed to exert a little force to pull his finger out of her mouth.
But this nest of monsters was extremely powerful. Even without using brute force, it could not force people to stay.
But the most enchanting place is the land of beauties.
The more lingering, tender and affectionate it is, the more you can't stop.
Once the heart starts to hesitate, there is no possibility of escaping. It will only make you sink deeper and deeper into the mud with no possibility of turning around.
Bao Shan didn't suck, she just touched it gently. Occasionally, her teeth would lightly knock against You Dongjun's fingertips.
The touch did not cause any pain, it was just like being touched lightly for a moment by the fragrance of lilac and orchid, and a tingling sensation spread from the finger bones up to the whole body.
At the same time, a soft white light lingered around the wound on the treasure fan, slowly smoothing out the bloodstains.
You Dongjun's jaw was tense, and he felt a burning sensation behind his ears.
He wanted to withdraw, but just now, it was clearly he who took the initiative to let Baoshan use the blood from his fingertips to heal his wounds. Now he went back on his word, which was bound to cause criticism.
You Dongjun could only bear it and let the precious fan taste like a cat, again and again.
When he finally let go, Baoshan's eyes were filled with mist, with tiny silver lines on the corners of his lips, and he looked infatuated.
You Dongjun didn't look closely, but just walked forward with his head held high.
Huan Niang was sealed in a clay jar and brought to the inn by Gu Xiaoxiao.
Along with it was delivered a limp skin and a complete skeleton.
Huan Niang's restraints were untied, and she heard You Dongjun asking where this skin and bones came from, and why she was entangled with Tan Qianfan and became a lovesick ghost.
Huan Niang just said that she didn't understand what lovesick ghosts were. She only knew that after her death, her obsession was too deep and she was reluctant to leave the world.
Huan Niang claimed that she did not want to harm Tan Qianfan, but wanted to fulfill the fate between them.
When Huan Niang was alive, she was the second daughter of a tailor. She was taciturn by nature and not very popular.
But one day, Huan Niang went to the Tan family to deliver clothes and met the young master of the family, Tan Qianfan.
Tan Qianfan rescued Huan Niang, whose clothes had been soiled, and praised her for her pretty and charming appearance.
After that, Huan Niang came to the Tan family to deliver clothes from time to time. Under the sweet words of Tan Qianfan, she naturally fell in love with him and became his lover.
Huan Niang thought that with her status, she would never be able to be the wife, but she was willing to be a concubine.
But Tan Qianfan promised to give Huan Niang the position of legal wife, so Huan Niang was naturally happy and became more infatuated with Tan Qianfan.
But when Huanniang saw Tan Qianfan again, her lover's face was bruised and purple, and he kept saying that his parents at home did not respond, and he refused to let go even after being beaten.
Huan Niang felt sorry for Tan Qianfan, and heard Tan Qianfan say that he would rather sacrifice his life than marry Huan Niang.
Huan Niang felt bitter in her heart. She naturally didn't want to let Tan Qianfan lose his life, so she went to see Tan's mother privately and said that she did not want to be a wife, but was willing to be a concubine, as long as she could stay by Tan Qianfan's side.
Tan's mother said slowly that based on Huanniang's appearance and status, she was not even qualified to be a concubine.
Huan Niang was greatly shocked and her body was dazed. When she was passing by the bridge, she slipped and fell into the water.
She turned into a spirit, but still thinking about Tan Qianfan, so she followed the wind and floated to Tan Qianfan's side. She happened to hear Tan Qianfan complaining.
"That woman was too difficult to deal with. I put on several shows but couldn't fool her.
She ran to find my mother, and she blamed me for a long time because of this."
A friend suggested, "The tailor's daughter is quite pretty. Why not take her into your family and make her a concubine?"
Tan Qianfan flatly refused: "The porridge and other small dishes are fine to leave outside. If I were to take a concubine, she must be attractive and graceful."
Huan Niang was already dead, and upon hearing this, her mind was filled with the word "appearance." She didn't want to believe that the man she lost her virginity to was a heartless and unfaithful man, so she twisted Tan Qianfan's words into—
Tan Qianfan didn't want to marry her because she was not beautiful.
If she was attractive, Tan Qianfan would welcome her into his family.
But once you become a ghost, how can you still be beautiful?
Huan Niang glanced towards the river. At this moment, because she had drowned, her whole body was swollen and she didn't even look as pretty as usual.
So, Huan Niang began to think and look for a skin.
