Chapter 175 The Heavenly Snow Lotus Aims for Immortality (5)
There was also a sense of familiarity that I couldn't quite place.
Que Heyu looked at her, his wariness growing even stronger. "Who are you in charge of? I've never seen you before." He would have vomited up the medicine he had just swallowed if he hadn't already drunk it.
Although he was confident that no one would drug him, sometimes you really can't be sure if you encounter a madman.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuelian replied irrelevantly, "My name is Zhang Xuelian. You can call me by my name. You don't know me now, but you'll get to know me better as you see me more often." Her tone was light and lively, lacking the cautiousness of an ordinary servant, but rather displaying composure and ease.
At this moment, even the most clueless Que and Yu sensed something was amiss. "You're not from the manor. Who are you?" they asked, their expressions growing even more wary.
There are no such unruly people in the Que family.
He vaguely felt that the sentence was somewhat familiar.
Isn't she familiar? He had just asked her who she was a few days ago, but Zhang Xuelian didn't answer his question. Unexpectedly, a few days later, she had changed her identity, and he asked her again.
However, Que Heyu was clearly still in shock. He saw that after she heard this, she stopped looking so relaxed and her smile grew wider and wider.
"Me? Have you forgotten so quickly? Didn't I tell you I would come back?" At this moment, the beautiful smile overlapped with the empty smile of the faceless paper figure, and Que Heyu's heart skipped a beat.
[Horror Level +100,000]
[Horror Value +80000]
[Horror Value +50000]
[Horror Value +30000]
...
She added a full 300,000. Zhang Xuelian's smile grew wider and wider, until it was wide enough to fit a football inside.
At this moment, she was no longer a beautiful maid; she looked like a female ghost who had died a gruesome death.
Can a normal person open their mouth that wide? No way.
Que Heyu took a deep breath and directly took out the demon-revealing mirror to shine on her. However, Zhang Xuelian did not stop her, but watched the scene with great interest.
"It's no use, your mirror can't fool me," she said smugly, looking at him.
Before she could even maintain her good mood, the next second...
Those who discovered the demon-revealing mirror was useless attacked her directly.
At first, Que and Yu were just testing her, but after they discovered that she wasn't using superhuman power, their moves became even more ruthless.
Meanwhile, the bodyguards below heard the commotion and rushed up. Seeing this scene, they surrounded her, trying to grab her, but Zhang Xuelian dodged them all.
She looked at them unhappily, pouting, and said, "You're ganging up on us."
Que Heyu snorted coldly, "What's the point of being polite to a ghost?" He wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully at night if he didn't kill her.
The next second, Zhang Xuelian laughed and said, "Hehehe, it's a pity you can't kill me." She was still at ease amidst the attacks of a group of people. Even when she was hit, her expression did not change, because puppets cannot feel pain, but they are different.
Someone was slapped by her and suffered a broken bone. How could a human possibly do that?
Zhang Xuelian watched them rush up one by one, her face showing some displeasure. "So annoying," she said, "like flies that you can't kill."
She had already been very restrained in her attacks, so she didn't get to enjoy them at all.
"Alright, that's enough. Que and Yu, see you next time." In front of everyone, she winked at him, and the next second she turned into a stone and fell to the ground.
At that moment, everyone was shocked, except for Que and Yu.
Last time it was a paper doll, but now she can actually possess a stone. This also proves the demon-revealing mirror's effectiveness against her; otherwise, why haven't those paper dolls reappeared?
Even so, her strength is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
It's Zhang Xuelian. Why does that name sound familiar?
However, the most urgent task should be to resolve the immediate issue. Seeing that the group of bodyguards she had hired were still immersed in the shock from just now, Que Heyu looked at them solemnly and said, "You saw it too, that's why I hired you. But you don't need to worry. Apart from her improved skills and a stronger body, there's nothing strange about her for the time being."
A group of mercenaries and bodyguards twitched their lips; they were all petrified, how could they not be hard-hearted? It seems even wealthy families don't live peacefully. Clearly, they see Zhang Xuelian's existence as a tool to fight for the family fortune.
I've heard that there are Kuman Thong in Thailand, so it's quite normal for Hong Kong to have female ghosts.
Que and Yu let them misunderstand, but only he knew that he had brought it back from the snow mountain.
However, he didn't understand why, if the Snow Mountain Goddess really existed, she didn't eliminate that demon when she saved him? Was it because she couldn't eliminate it, or was it just his illusion?
[Doubt level +5000]
Zhang Xuelian's emotional value has now reached 480,000. She returned to her main consciousness and watched as he finished speaking with those people and then let them continue their shifts. She then learned from her subordinates who Zhang Xuelian was, and found it particularly interesting.
"You're saying she's the stowaway Que Hanri brought back from outside?" Que Heyu laughed, a laugh born of anger. She's a stowaway? Poor thing. Then who in the world is pitiful? How dare this prodigy enter and leave the Que residence with such impunity? What is she trying to do?
The subordinate said, "I think the second young master was also deceived by her." Otherwise, who would bring back such a demon? Of course, wasn't her approach to the second young master just to come in openly?
"No, that's not right. If she wanted to come in, it would be easy. Why would she need to use the Second Young Master to get in?" The people below thought about it more and more and more, and something seemed wrong.
Que Heyu sneered, "Because she wants to use him to do things." Thinking about how he had destroyed her three paper figures, and considering how careful he had been yet the goods were still burned, it was obvious who was behind it all. He had taken every precaution, but he hadn't expected to have to guard against something unseen and intangible.
However, compared to that mysterious and unpredictable method, the stone might be easier to deal with. Thinking of this, Que Heyu regretted having someone attack her back then. Otherwise, if she had stayed obediently in that body and not appeared in front of him, everything would have been fine. Now, he didn't know what kind of scene her next appearance would bring.
Zhang Xuelian naturally returned to Chenxuan Courtyard, after all, her deal with Que Hanri wasn't over yet. She had found a way to trigger his emotions: constantly targeting him and sabotaging his career. If it weren't for the karmic consequences of murder, she actually wanted to kill the people he cherished, making it impossible for him not to hate her to the core.
However, it's not impossible. Zhang Xuelian thought about how she saved him in the snow mountain, and it wasn't out of the question that she could create a Snow Mountain Goddess, but it was too early to talk about that now. Her current emotional state wasn't strong enough to support her controlling two puppets.
When Que Hanri heard that she had returned, he asked his subordinates, "Has anything unusual happened in Yuxuan Courtyard?" Given her personality, she didn't seem like someone who couldn't do anything.
"Second Young Master, you guessed right. The Eldest Young Master and his bodyguards got into a fight with Miss Zhang, but for some reason they stopped later." Although the group didn't know exactly what happened inside, there was no doubt that the commotion was quite loud.
"Oh, they've started fighting?" Que Hanri smiled slightly, but what was even more surprising was that he didn't come over to question her even though he knew she was from his own courtyard? What exactly was their relationship? Like lovers but not quite, like mortal enemies but not quite.
Because of this, he asked with concern, "What is she doing now?" The "she" he was referring to was Zhang Xuelian.
The staff said, "Miss Zhang is instructing people to make her a new dress, and she also wants new jewelry." Under normal circumstances, they would not listen, but didn't he say before he left that he would grant her whatever she wanted, as long as it wasn't too unreasonable? So they did as he said.
Que Hanri didn't mean to question her. It was just some clothes and jewelry. This time, he had gotten quite a few good things from his good older brother. He originally thought she would ask for an exorbitant amount, but he didn't expect her to only ask for some clothes and jewelry, which surprised him.
"If she wants it, just give it to her. Show her pictures of the latest clothes and jewelry from Charm, and have someone deliver them to her door so she can try them on." As long as she doesn't turn against him, he's always generous to those who have helped him.
If she only wanted the clothes, jewelry, and money, that would be fine. The problem is, she might be after more than just those things. Especially when someone doesn't have an ID card in Hong Kong, a normal person would go to great lengths to get one, but she didn't, and more like, she didn't care. What gives her that confidence?
That's why he's been probing Zhang Xuelian lately, trying to get some information about her identity.
However, she treated him as a tool. "Do you think your older brother will like me wearing this dress?" Her eyes were sparkling, making it hard not to think that she liked Que Heyu.
Que Hanri glanced at the clothes she was wearing and said casually, "Yes."
She was even happier to hear that, and after her initial excitement subsided, she was happy to answer his question.
"I come from an extremely cold place." Whether he believes it or not is his own business.
More than that, she was curious about, "How are you going to deal with him? Or maybe we should tamper with his car?"
One second she was asking him if his older brother would like the clothes she was wearing, and the next second she wanted to kill his older brother. Even a lunatic wouldn't be as fickle as her.
