Chapter 49: Death within three days
Qin Qinsen raised his eyebrows. Such a heavy promise, it seems that Ning Li has an extraordinary background?
By activating the infinite desire between her eyebrows, Ning Li's fate is clearly visible.
"Ning Li, you are twenty-eight years old. The King of Hell wants you dead at three o'clock in the morning. Who dares to keep you here until five o'clock? You interfere with life and death and are stubborn and unyielding. You will surely die within three days."
"Death is certain."
Mr. Huang's knuckles turned white as he gripped the teapot. He closed his eyes for a long time before opening them again. His gaze was dull, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"Humph, I refuse to believe in evil." Ning Li gritted her teeth. "You guys are just relying on your talents. You think you can know ghosts and gods after learning a little bit."
Today was their first meeting, so it was obviously not him he was talking about, Qin Qinsen was very self-satisfied. On second thought, combined with Boss Huang's self-deprecating half-baked corpse-driving skills, it must be Boss Huang he was talking about.
But the reactions of these two people are interesting.
One knows he won't live long, but refuses to accept his fate and keeps trying. The other knows the other's life is coming to an end, so he asks for help and even makes a big promise.
"Miss Ning is obviously very brave in snatching people from the underworld."
Qin Qinsen's words provoked a new round of sarcasm from Ning Li, "So, you finally dumped Hong Guangbai and plan to return to Xuanmen? Huang Ke, I'm telling you, it's too late. From the moment you betrayed your master for Hong Guangbai, there's no going back!"
"Do you want to live?" Qin Qinsen asked bluntly, "If you want to live, then control your inexplicable temper. If you don't want to live, then continue."
Qin Qinsen leaned his upper body on the counter like a boneless person, his arms folded across his chest, his expression calm, as if no matter what Ning Li said, it couldn't cause any ripples in his emotions.
"Save her, I'll pay the price."
Unexpectedly, Qin Qinsen shook his finger at Boss Huang and said, "This is her fate. You have no say in it."
"But she became what she is now, all because of me."
Qin Qinsen smiled, his eyes devoid of emotion, a cold look that Boss Huang had never seen before.
"Why, did you force her to go to the underworld to snatch someone? Or did you open the door to the underworld and push Miss Ning in? If neither of those things happened, then it has nothing to do with you."
"It was he who disregarded my father's safety for a bastard. It was he who betrayed his master and caused my father's death!" Ning Li's eyes were red, which matched her red lips.
"Why, your father doesn't allow him to date men?"
“No, no.”
The corpse driver is not an old-fashioned person, so why would he care who his disciple is in love with?
"So you're obsessed with Boss Huang and you won't marry anyone else but him?"
"Absolutely not!"
"So your father actually loves Boss Huang deeply, but due to worldly pressures, he can't express his love?"
"No! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Then why do you blame Boss Huang for your father's death? Or..." Qin Qinsen stood up straight, lowered his head slightly, and looked directly into Ning Li's eyes, "You just picked a random unlucky guy and blamed him for your father's death so that you can find a legitimate excuse for your behavior."
"I……"
Ning Li's speechless expression spoke volumes, and Qin Qinsen understood. "If you want to live, pay the price. If you don't want to live, buy yourself a grave as soon as possible. You still have three days."
"What do you mean?" Boss Huang was much more nervous than the person involved.
"What I mean is, Ning Li, you will definitely die within three days."
The person who spoke was actually Brother Hong.
His face was gloomy as he walked up to Boss Huang, blocking Ning Li's view. "Why, did your damn father ask you to harass Huang Ke again in your dreams? What does he want this time? Luxury cars, mansions, gold, silver, and treasures? Or maybe some beautiful wives and concubines to enjoy all the happiness down there."
Hong Guangbai's aura was low, his words thick with gritted teeth. Even the most obtuse person could sense his rage when they approached, especially Qin Qinsen, who was seeing him like this for the first time. The hairs on the back of his neck stood at attention, silently thinking that he was indeed the big brother of the underworld, full of courage. He wondered how he would compare to Teng Su.
"Master Qin is very free?"
"Boss Huang said he wanted to save her life." With a finger pointing, Qin Qinsen directly sold out Boss Huang.
As expected, Hong Guangbai grabbed Boss Huang's hand, dragged him under his nose, and said through gritted teeth, "You finally got rid of the Ning family, and you still want to go back?"
"Humph, I said they were dogs—uh—uh!"
Qin Qinsen intervened at the right time, interrupting Ning Li's unfinished words. "Why are you meddling in the affairs of a young couple? Come, let me see what's wrong with you."
Qin Qinsen suppressed Wuliangqiu's eagerness to try and thought to himself, why would Wuliangqiu join in the fun of something that can be known just by physiognomy and divination?
"He has an arched nose and protruding ear bones. He's willful and rebellious. He's had his eyebrows plucked, but it can't change the fact that they overshadow his eyes. He has a repressed personality, is irritable, and tends to take his anger out on others. It's not good for someone so young to have such a short temper."
Raising his hand to block Ning Li's slap, Qin Qinsen continued, "The art of corpse-driving has always been known for its strong Yin energy. In order not to affect the lifespan of women, it has been passed down from ancient times to men, not women. So who gave you the confidence to break into the underworld? It definitely wasn't your father."
"Certainly."
There was no talisman, no spell, just a simple gesture, and Ning Li completely lost the ability to move. She could only stand there in an attacking posture and stare blankly.
"You're so young, yet you're still trying to imitate others and do something frivolous. And yet, with only three days left to live, God has you meet me. Tell me, do you want to live or not? If you want to live, blink your left eye. If you don't, close it."
"She is so capable, why does she need Master Qin to save her?" Hong Guangbai hugged Boss Huang tightly, as if Ning Li was a carrier of some plague. He led his men back to the wall with a look of contempt on his face, his tone full of "it's best if she dies."
"Not really." Qin Qinsen shook his head. "Saving her will help Boss Huang untie his knot, and you won't have to stay alone in the empty room forever."
"Shut up!"
The hand around Boss Huang's waist instantly increased its strength. Like Ning Li, Boss Huang, unable to move freely, could only point at Qin Qinsen and curse, "You little bastard, just wait for me!"
"And you promised me that if I saved Ning Li, I could choose anything in the store."
Then, he reached out and pried open Ning Li's left eyelid. Under the incredulous gazes of Boss Huang and Hong Guangbai, he loosened his hand, letting Ning Li close her eyes. Then he pried open her left eyelid again, and Ning Li opened her eyes.
"Very good, she wants to live." Qin Qinsen's face was calm, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior.
"Give me some gold and silver ingots, and a pass. And a lighter, thanks."
Qin Qinsen took Hong Guangbai's lighter and lit the gold ingots and pass he took from the shelf, then stood still in the store.
Although no other movements were seen, a strong wind suddenly blew through the store, making it impossible for people to open their eyes. Before Boss Huang and the others opened their eyes again, they heard Qin Qinsen say:
"Lord City God."
"Master Qin, what do you want to call me for?" The City God smiled heartily. This generation of people from Duyin are polite and sensible, much better than those guys before who could only order people around.
Facing the City God, Qin Qinsen put away his joking expression and said seriously, "This girl's name is Ning Li, she's 28 years old. She once did something wrong under the influence of an evil spirit. I beg the City God to take the trouble to find out which precepts she broke and how to remedy the situation."
