The female ghost in the azure palace dress was somewhat reluctant to Liangqiu Feiye's request, but after thinking that it would be a lot of trouble for them if Liangqiu Feiye didn't cooperate, she nodded and left with the female ghost in the pool.
Thus, only the Liangqiu brothers were left in the hall.
After the female ghosts left, Liang Qiufei breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against the edge of the bathtub and waved to her brother, "Come over and take a bath together!"
Liangqiu Yuzhe's expression instantly collapsed. "Ninth Brother, what on earth are you thinking? We are already in this situation now, and you can still take a bath in peace?!"
Liang Qiufei also scooped up some water from the pond and poured it over herself, smiling faintly as she said, "What if I'm not at peace? Fight with those female ghosts outside? And then get hacked to death with a long knife?"
After saying this, Liang Qiufei tilted his head to think for a moment, then raised his brows slightly, "Have you noticed that these female ghosts can summon long swords at any time, which is quite cool."
...Oh my goodness, is this the time to focus on whether summoning a long sword is cool? The important thing is whether or not you can survive!
Liangqiu Yuzhe, whose soul full of complaints had awakened, had many things to say, but under the bright gaze of his brother, he could not utter a word.
Liang Qiufei was also right in one point. If they did not follow the female ghosts' ideas and resisted, they would only die.
"Come on, isn't it uncomfortable to be covered in mud?" Liang Qiu Fei called out again.
Liangqiu Yuzhe was silent for a while, and finally chose to give in.
He took off his clothes and walked into the bath, with a look of sadness still between his brows.
Although he agreed to his brother's proposal to take a bath together, it did not mean that Liangqiu Yuzhe could put aside the worries in his heart.
Every moment he stayed in this tomb palace made him more worried.
"Don't think too much, I'm here." Liang Qiu Fei turned his head to look at his younger brother and comforted him.
"...Are you going to say that we two brothers will go to the underworld together again?" Liangqiu Yuzhe asked with a roll of his eyes.
"Haha..." Liang Qiufei also laughed immediately, "Brother Zhe has become smarter. It's not easy to fool him anymore."
Still laughing, Liangqiu Yuzhe said that he didn't want to pay any attention to him. He paddled in the pool and turned his head away without looking at his brother.
Liang Qiufei didn't care either. He paused for a moment while looking at the ceiling of the hall, then spoke again, "Hey, brother Zhe, tell me carefully, have I become more handsome again? Even the female ghosts won't let me go."
Liangqiu Yuzhe was immediately furious. He was handsome, but what about this? Even if you were truly handsome, you wouldn't be like this!
"What if they want to clean you and serve you on the table? After all, brother, you are so... beautiful!"
Liang Qiufei also splashed water towards her brother, "How many times have I told you that you can't use the word 'beautiful' to describe me, your brother? Got it?"
"Everyone in Kyoto has said this..." Liangqiu Yuzhe raised his hand to block it and muttered softly.
"Except for you, who else would dare to say that in front of me?" Liang Qiu Fei also smiled with a squint.
This is indeed true. Ministers and common people would not dare to use such words in front of a prince.
Among the ten or so brothers, those who dared to use such words were beaten by their elder brother, and their father would always stand on the side of their elder brother.
After hesitating for a moment, Liangqiu Yuzhe asked, "...Nine Brother, are you really not afraid?"
"What are you afraid of? The worst that can happen is death." Liang Qiufei's tone was also relaxed, as if he was just saying something as common as what to eat today.
"But Ninth Brother, if you die, Father will be very sad."
“…Will it?”
"Of course. Father is so good to you. He gives you whatever you want and never asks you to do anything you don't want to do."
"Oh, maybe!"
The two brothers stopped talking at this point.
Liangqiu Yuzhe always maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards what happened next;
And Liangqiu Yuzhe, no matter how terrified he was, understood that the two of them now had no chance of resistance. If he kept going, he might find a way out, even if the chance was slim.
The female ghosts had prepared a change of clothes for Liang Qiu Fei on the clothes rack beside the bathtub. After all, the clothes he wore before were still covered with a lot of dirt!
A dozen or so sets of high-quality clothes were laid out there for selection.
Liang Qiufei naturally chose the red one, yes, bright red, and threw the white one to her younger brother.
Just when the two of them changed their clothes, the door of the temple opened. Liang Qiu Fei was very suspicious. Did these female ghosts wait outside to peek? Otherwise, how could they be so punctual?
OK, these are minor issues.
The female ghost in azure palace dress stood at the entrance of the hall, smiling at the two brothers, while the other female ghosts stood on both sides, waiting with their heads down.
Liang Qiufei also stepped out of the palace gate and asked with a smile, "Where are you planning to take us this time, sister?"
Although he knew that the female ghost would not be able to answer his questions, it would be good if she could give some hints!
The female ghost in the azure palace dress shook her head, refused to answer, and turned sideways, making a gesture of invitation.
"Okay!" Liang Qiufei shrugged helplessly and followed the directions of the female ghosts.
After circling around the tomb palace for quite some time, they finally stopped in an extremely spacious and magnificent palace.
Compared to the palace of female ghosts that the two brothers first entered, the one in front of them was several levels more magnificent.
The beams and pillars supporting the palace are all made of an unknown purple metal. The ferocious beasts on them are extremely lifelike with their fangs and claws bared, and their eyes are vivid, as if they would come alive in the next second.
Although the palace is large, it is somewhat empty. The white candles are burning with a green light, swaying constantly.
In the very center of the palace, there is a jade coffin. This must be the destination of the female ghosts.
The female ghosts led Liangqiu Fei to the front of the jade coffin and forbade Liangqiu Yuzhe to follow.
Then, they dispersed around the jade coffin, took out various musical instruments, and got into position.
After the female ghost in the azure palace costume confirmed that the positions of the female ghosts were correct, she turned around and walked to Liangqiu Feiye, and took out her two-meter-long sword with a smile.
At this moment, Liangqiu Yuzhe's face turned pale.
If it weren't for the two female ghosts guarding him, he would have rushed over and grabbed his brother to run away. He didn't know if he could escape, but he would see what happened after he ran away...
Liang Qiu Fei remained calm. Following the ghost girl's instruction, he raised his hand and handed it over.
The female ghost smiled and lightly scratched his wrist, and blood immediately gushed out.
As the bright red blood dripped onto the ground, bursts of music began to sound, including the zither, harp, pipes, and bells, which were light and melodious.
The next second, a blood-red light suddenly appeared under Liangqiu Feiye's feet, and runes flashed and changed rapidly, which was extremely strange.
At the same time, a suppressed black mist of light suddenly erupted from the jade coffin in front.
Liang Qiu Fei also raised her eyebrows, and understood a little. These female ghosts must be performing a ritual, the purpose of which is to awaken the existence in the jade coffin!
