Chapter 101 How Much Have You Hidden from Me!
The cold wind blew across the stone animal heads of the Yin-Yang Gate, and the copper rust on the door knocker shone coldly in the green ghost fire.
Just as Shen Qingze took half a step forward, several dark figures suddenly emerged from the shadows on both sides.
The clattering sound of the iron chain dragging on the ground startled the little ghost so much that he suddenly shrank his neck and grabbed his black trouser leg tightly, his knuckles trembling from the force.
"lady."
The leading ghost officer bowed to signal, and his colleagues behind him held the ghost whips at their waists. Before they said anything, they had already formed an airtight encirclement.
"Welcome Madam back home."
The sentences were in unison and quite impressive. Shen Qing felt a little embarrassed.
The little ghost buried his face in Shen Qingze's clothes, only daring to show a pair of wet eyes.
Looking at those green-faced and fanged ghost officials, his body was shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
“Don’t be afraid”
Shen Qing raised his hand and pressed the back of the boy's neck. The warmth of his palm made him feel a little more at ease.
He glanced at the tense jaws of the ghost officials, and his voice was colder than the cold wind around them.
"Now, are you blocking my way?"
"I don't dare."
The leading ghost immediately bowed, made a gesture of invitation with both hands, and half of the token engraved with the pattern of rebirth was exposed from his sleeve.
"It's just that the two masters, Black and White Impermanence, have ordered that the ghosts you bring back must be registered immediately. I am waiting here to guide you two to take a shortcut so as not to waste time in front of the Yin-Yang Gate."
His gaze lingered on the kid for a moment, examining him.
"The situation is serious recently, I hope you can understand"
The little ghost pulled the trouser leg with more force, and Shen Qing could feel the little body trembling.
He calmly hid the little ghost behind him and walked towards the door.
"Then please lead the way."
Walking through the corridor filled with the vapor of the River of Oblivion, the bluestone slabs underfoot glowed with a damp and cold light.
The ghost messengers followed behind him not too far away, and the sound of iron chains kept ringing, like a spell to urge death.
Only when he saw the red lacquered door of the Ghost Palace, which was inscribed with the Mantra of Rebirth, did Shen Qingze stop and said to the leading ghost,
"Everyone please go back."
The moment I pushed the door open, the candle flamed automatically without any wind.
Shen Qing closed the door with his backhand, blocking the view from outside, and then looked down at the little ghost that was almost hanging on his legs.
"Wait for me here, or you can go to Lord Bai later to arrange a place for you to stay."
He turned and walked towards the inner hall, bringing with him a chill.
Yeluvis was sitting at his desk, looking through the book of life and death. The parchment made a rustling sound between his fingers.
Hearing footsteps, he raised his vertical eyes, his golden pupils gleaming in the darkness.
“I’m back.”
Shen Qing pressed down on the edge of the table, causing the candlestick on the table to shake.
"Did you also find something on Ye Xiang?"
There was suppressed anger in his voice.
"I heard everything, you can't hide it from me"
Yeluvis closed the Book of Life and Death, tapped the cover lightly with his fingertips, and a vague smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What do you want to ask?"
Shen Qingze's fingertips dug deep into his palm due to the force he exerted. As the taste of blood spread on the tip of his tongue, he stared at Yeluvis's vertical pupils that glowed with golden light.
The candlelight flickered between the two of them, stretching the faint smile on Yeluweisi's lips.
"Have you discovered that the ghost slave in Ye Xiang's hand is your soul?"
"yes"
Shen Qingze's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and every word was filled with ice.
"So how are you going to deal with them?"
Yeluvis slowly turned the bone ring on his ring finger. The sound of the joints hitting each other was particularly clear in the silent inner hall.
He did not answer immediately, but turned his head and looked at Shen Qingze's tense face with his eyes that could see through yin and yang.
"You are injured, the blood contract will have a great impact on your body",
"You shouldn't think too much."
Shen Qing tried to calm his tone, bent down and got close to Yeluweisi, and asked,
"The black man on New Year's Day,"
Shen Qing took a step forward, and the cold wind he brought with him stirred up the Book of Life and Death on the table.
"Is that face under the mask Ye Xiang? You two fought, right?"
His breathing was a little rapid, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing slightly.
"But you didn't say anything. It's like you've been hiding your mental disorder from me!"
Yeluvis suddenly chuckled. The laughter sounded like a vine wrapped around a poisonous snake, with a sticky and cold tone.
He reached out and touched Shen Qingze's cheek. The cold temperature of his fingertips made the other person turn his head sharply to dodge, but he pinched his jaw even harder.
"When you're confused, your ears are pretty sharp."
Yeluvis stood up and approached, his golden pupils reflecting Shen Qingze's angry look, his nose almost touching his brow.
"How much did you hear? Did you hear me say I would tear him into pieces and take him back, or did you hear..."
He paused deliberately, and his warm breath fell on Shen Qingze's lips.
"Hearing what I said, I can't bear to see you in pain?"
Shen Qing suddenly raised his hand to push him away, but the other party grabbed his wrist and pressed it behind his back.
"Yeluvis you bastard!"
Yeluweisi's kiss was quick and fierce, with an irresistible force.
When the tip of my tongue pried open his teeth, I could taste the bloodiness that he was deliberately suppressing.
"Let me go!"
Shen Qing struggled, and clenched his other hand into a fist and punched Yeluweisi's waist, but was easily caught.
The cold bone ring brushed against his wrist, causing a shudder.
"lady,"
Yeluweisi released his lips and kissed his Adam's apple instead. His voice was as low as the whispers of lovers, but his fingertips slowly stroked the collar of his shirt on his chest.
"Knowing some things will do you no good."
He reached his hand into Shen Qingze's robe and stroked the old wound that had not yet healed, causing him to let out a suppressed gasp.
"You don't believe me, or what?"
Shen Qing suddenly arched his body and pushed him away with all his strength.
There was a half-foot distance between them. He leaned on the edge of the table and panted heavily, his chest rising and falling under his clothes.
"You have been lying to me time and time again... You two have fought each other a long time ago. Your soul has blended with my heart blood, causing your soul to be impure. Now you have become Ye Xiang's ghost slave,"
"You have long been aware of the crisis in the underworld and the world of the living, but you have refused to tell me a word. Now, you don't even want me to get involved in your plan to take back your soul..."
Yeluvis stood there, staring at him with complicated eyes.
"I must know."
Shen Qing raised his head, with a red glow in his eyes that was almost paranoid.
"Whether it's your soul or Ye Xiang, you owe me an explanation. Don't bother to escape."
"Yeluvis, tell me, how much have you hidden from me..."
Yeluweisi walked forward, took Shen Qingze into his arms, and stroked his back lovingly.
The candlelight in the inner hall suddenly crackled, casting the shadows of the two people on the wall.
One is as tight as a string, the other is as lazy as a snake.
In the silence of the underworld, a silent confrontation unfolds.
