Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Scarier than a ghost
Ling Fuying was too tired, perhaps it was her rebirth, perhaps it was because she had received too many memories from the past, or perhaps it was because she had spent too much energy dealing with Chen Fuxue last night. She fell asleep with her head touching the pillow.
But she didn't sleep well and had a long dream. The dream was bizarre and she woke up feeling exhausted.
When I got up, I had no idea that Yuchi Xianyue had stayed here last night.
The system said happily: [Host, I have good news for you. Your close contact with Shen Fuxue last night increased your luck by 50 points!]
[What are the luck values of Chen Fuxue and Yuchi Xianyue?] This didn't make Fu Ying very happy. She had never expected that last night would develop like that. Being able to leave here was the most important thing.
[That’s right, that’s a lot.]
How much is a lot?
The system is hard to describe.
[If you compare the host's luck value with them, it's like a small puddle compared to the ocean.]
【……】
[How much luck do I need to change the fate of the cannon fodder female supporting role?]
[Probably, probably 10 million! ]
Tens of millions of spirit stones can buy a city, but such a number seems unreal to Fu Ying.
Then there is really nothing to be congratulated about these fifty points of luck.
[But there's a saying that goes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a river is formed by the accumulation of small streams."] One day, your luck will catch up with theirs!
Ling Fuying was not in a position to attack it, but this luck value was indeed useful, and it was better than having nothing.
She was still thinking about leaving.
[System, do you know what Chen Fuxue is doing?]
[Host, the system does not have permission. When your luck value is high enough, you can redeem items to check the dynamics of the male protagonists.]
[Bai asked. 】
[Host, you can't say that. The system can still chat with you~]
The maids finished washing up for Ling Fuying. Ruixiang tilted her head and asked softly, "Madam, the Domain Lord left early, probably to attend to important matters. He has already asked us to prepare breakfast. Do you want to eat now?"
"Well, go ahead."
After saying this, Fu Ying's expression changed, and he asked loudly, "Leaving so early?"
What does this mean?
Ruixiang didn't know why the lady was so shocked, but she still said, "Yes, madam, the domain master left at dawn."
Ling Fuying saw that they did not look down on her as they did in her previous life. Combined with what the maid said, she realized that Yuchi Xianyue seemed to have stayed here last night.
Only then did she remember that she had indeed seen him last night when she was half asleep and half awake, and she thought it was a dream.
Is he crazy? Ling Fuying hurriedly finished his breakfast and sat at the table, thinking.
She ordered Fuying to get up and walk out of the door, telling the maids not to follow her. She looked like she was strolling around, and the servants who came and went all bowed respectfully to her.
It's not like they didn't hear about what happened last night. Before, everyone was speculating whether the lady was loved by the domain lord. But since he went there last night and dealt with the housekeeper who neglected his duties, he must value the lady.
Yes, after all, she is the daughter of Zheyuan Palace, although she is only an adopted daughter.
However, they had heard before that this lady was ordinary and they forgot her after seeing her once. But when they saw her today, it was clear that she was a rare beauty. Even after Fu Ying walked away, the servants were still staring at the direction she left. Her every frown and smile made them unforgettable.
It turns out that rumors cannot be fully trusted.
Ling Fuying deliberately avoided Yuchi Xianyue's office, walked around the pavilion and corridor, and went deep into the woods. She knew there was a dog hole in the mansion.
With the token, she could ignore the formation and leave without being seen by the guards at the door.
What's wrong with crawling through a dog hole? Leaving is the biggest problem.
As for why there was a dog hole in the Domain Lord's Mansion, Ling Fuying had asked an older servant in his previous life, and he was told that when Yuchi Xianyue was a child, he liked to watch people crawling through dog holes, so the dog hole has remained there ever since.
Originally thinking that he was just naughty when he was young, the old domain lord planned to order people to fill up the dog hole when he grew up. However, he found that Yuchi Xianyue's nature had not changed. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he asked his servants to drill through the dog hole again on a whim.
If he were an ordinary family, Yuchi Xianyue would have been beaten by his father long ago, but he was raised as a girl for seven or eight years when he was a child. He was dressed in silks and satins, rouge, hairpins and rings, and had a group of maids, just like a spoiled lady. After his mother passed away, he resumed dressing as a man.
Before he was ten years old, he was short and was raised as a girl. People around him laughed at him, and the servants also laughed at him secretly. His father saw all this and naturally indulged him a little more.
However, when he was twelve or thirteen years old, his height began to grow rapidly. He was several inches taller than his father and much taller than other boys of the same age. His face also lost its childishness.
His face has become much thinner, and he is dressed in a green scholar's robe. His simple appearance has broken away from the feminine softness and beauty, making him more gentlemanly. One look at him makes people sigh that he is a handsome young man.
At this time, no one mentioned his childhood anymore.
He was clearly doing the most despicable thing, but the servants around him just wanted to make him laugh and were willing to work hard to crawl through the dog hole.
It was boring to drill through the hole alone, so he pointed at others at random, and groups of servants, regardless of gender, circled in front of him and drilled through the hole. Although he seemed to be indifferent, the hole was never filled up again, for fear that he would get excited again someday.
The old domain lord passed away when Yuchi Xianyue was fifteen years old. After he succeeded him, the old domain lord's wives in the mansion died of illness or death, and within a few years they all passed away, leaving him the only one in charge.
Everyone in the mansion knew that the Domain Lord liked to watch people crawling through dog holes, so how could they dare to risk their lives to fill the dog hole? It would be fine if they left it there, but what if the Domain Lord wanted to watch people crawling through dog holes again one day? Although he had never let anyone crawl through a dog hole since he took over,
Ling Fuying found it ridiculous to think about it. She really didn't know whether she was crazy or stupid before. She didn't think there was anything wrong with him and even thought he was cute.
To be honest, it was a bit disgusting to drill through a dog hole. She would drill through a simple dog hole, but this was a dog hole that Yuchi Xianyue liked to drill on purpose.
But now she couldn't worry too much. Who cared about face and money? The dog was so cute, it could drill in, so why couldn't she?
After finding a dog hole covered with weeds under a big tree, Ling Fuying squatted down and started digging, getting down to work!
She cleared a passage large enough for her to pass through and tried to drill out.
But she underestimated her rather impressive breasts and got stuck.
After trying harder, she finally moved her chest through the narrowest part.
This token was indeed useful. No one noticed her until she completely got into the alley outside the wall, and the defensive formation of the Domain Lord's Mansion was not alarmed.
Ling Fuying wiped the grass debris off his face, turned around to completely cover the dog hole, and headed straight for the border town in the southern part of the Three Thousand Territory.
As the Domain Lord's Mansion got farther and farther away, the system finally noticed something was wrong.
【Host, what are you doing? 】
[I have other plans, don't ask.]
[That's not right. You've already left the Territory Lord's Mansion, how can you still contact them?]
The system didn't know that Ling Fuying had never intended to carry out this strategy mission from the beginning.
It slowly reacted.
[Host, have you been lying to me all along?] The system suddenly asked aggrievedly.
Ling Fuying admitted it straightforwardly. If she didn't lie to it, it would definitely make her faint from all the noise.
The system was about to use the same trick again, but Fu Ying had predicted it in advance, [If you make trouble again, do you believe I will jump down from here?]
Ling Fuying just happened to walk to the riverside.
The system instantly went silent. [Host, let's talk it over, right? Everything is negotiable. You can play for a few days first, and then we can go back to the mission. Is that okay with you?]
As long as you can have peace, that’s as long as you can. Fu Ying nodded.
The fooled system is happy.
Ling Fuying headed straight for Sunset Town, and on the way threw Yuchi Xianyue's token into the river. After running in another direction for a day, she found an inn to rest and continued her journey the next morning.
In the middle of the night, she tossed and turned restlessly. Just as she was about to close her eyes and continue sleeping, she felt someone staring at her from behind.
Could there be a ghost? This made Fu Ying's heart tremble. She was most afraid of ghosts.
Just when she thought she was scaring herself, she heard Yuchi Xianyue's ghostly voice, "Are you happy to see your husband?"
Glad your daddy! Ling Fuying's expression was as if she had seen a ghost. She never expected that Second Lieutenant Chi Xianyue would follow her, and she never expected that he knew her escape route.
Well, now she discovered something scarier than a ghost.
Ling Fuying could no longer pretend to be asleep, so she sat up and looked at Yuchi Xianyue warily.
He was sitting at the small table in the middle of the inn, the dim moonlight streaming in from the window, his face half bright and half dark.
Ling Fuying saw what he was playing with in his hand.
"Madam, do you feel this thing is familiar?" Yuchi Xianyue shook the token.
Even if she threw it into the river, Yuchi Xianyue could still find it. This meant that there was something on the token, either it was his command token or there was a way to track it.
Careless!
"Where did you get it, madam? If you want it, I'll give it to you. Why bother with so much trouble?" Yuchi Xianyue stood up and walked towards Ling Fuying, leaning slightly with his tall body. Seeing her nervous and defensive expression, he found it funny.
"If you like her, why would you throw her away? It would make it easier for me to find a husband."
If Ling Fuying didn't answer, most people would have been furious, but Yuchi Xianyue still had a calm expression, "I would like to ask, where did you get this thing, Madam?"
Yuchi Xianyue asked himself, "I think I got it from my master."
"I don't know when you became so close to him."
Yuchi Xianyue reached out to touch Ling Fuying's long hair. She wanted to hide but his fingers hooked her hair, and her face wrinkled in pain.
"If you want to be a bald donkey, you can stay away."
His hands were exceptionally slender and long, even more delicate than a woman's. His manicured nails were clean and tidy, a light pink in color, without the calluses left by ordinary sword practitioners.
Taking a blade of grass from her long black hair, Yuchi Yanyue curled his thin lips slightly, and his laughter echoed in the night wind.
Ling Fuying stepped forward and wanted to cover his mouth. This was in an inn, and the people next door would come up and knock on her door soon. Yuchi Xianyue didn't care, but she did.
But she really didn't want to touch him, so she suppressed her anger and cursed in a low voice: "Are you crazy? What are you laughing at in the middle of the night? You have no shame, but I still have some."
Unexpectedly, Yuchi Xianyue's smile froze abruptly. His long eyelashes were wet with tears, adding a touch of moving emotion to his cold appearance. He leaned closer to Ling Fuying and said, "Madam, perhaps our relationship is destined by heaven."
Ling Fuying felt a chill, "Stay away from me, we don't have a marriage contract, and I'm not your wife."
"Who said there's no knot? Take a look."
When Ling Fuying saw the marriage certificate in Yuchi Xianyue's hand, which showed their birth dates and names, she felt like she was struck by lightning.
This is not an ordinary marriage certificate. It can only be produced when two people sign a marriage contract.
But that was impossible, she clearly had not formed a bond with him.
The golden marriage certificate turned into golden light and disappeared from Yuchi Xianyue's fingertips.
"Madam, have you forgotten what you are repairing for your husband?" He was calm and composed, looking like he had everything under control.
She naturally knew what Yuchi Xianyue practiced. He specialized in dream cultivation, killed people with dreams, and could control people's minds.
She dreamed last night...
But wasn’t that a dream?
This time she really felt like the sky was falling.
"Madam, there's no need to be so happy. It's only natural that we should be bound by a bond."
"What I never expected was that Madam actually crawled into that dog hole just to make me laugh. I really feel bad for her. How about I crawl into it too?"
This time, Ling Fuying really wanted to chop off his head with a knife and then sew up his dog mouth that couldn't spit out ivory!
