Chapter 88 The sky is especially dark tonight…
The sky was especially dark tonight, the entire sky was like a black cloth covering He Wenqing's head, making him feel inexplicably suffocated. And at this hour, when there is usually a cold wind, there is not a breath of wind, making the world seem quiet, dead and empty.
Looking at the dark sky, He Wenqing felt somewhat hesitant and uneasy. Even when his grandfather called him several times from inside the car, he didn't hear him. It was only when Uncle He patted him on the shoulder that he came to his senses and got into the car to serve his grandfather.
Seeing that he looked a little strange, Old Master He asked, "Wenqing, are you feeling unwell?"
"No," He Wenqing replied in a muffled voice, "I guess I've been preoccupied with something these past few days and haven't been sleeping well."
Grandpa He pressed on, "Oh? What's wrong that makes you look like this?"
He Wenqing recalled what Madam He had told him that day. He never imagined that the ghostly boy named Lu Hun was actually his half-brother. His mother had secretly fathered a son with another man without a word. He had been troubled for many days, but because it concerned Madam He and the He family's reputation, he dared not reveal a word even when Chen Xuanhua asked. He Wenqing did not dare to tell Old Master He, but simply smiled and said, "It's just some trivial matters in the court. Grandfather, you don't need to worry. I will handle it properly."
Old Master He, who also had his own worries, did not ask any further questions upon hearing this.
The carriage was getting further and further away from the He family mansion. When they reached a more secluded section of the road, He Wenqing recognized the route and asked in confusion, "Grandfather, are we going to the ancestral graves? It's so late, what are you going there for?"
Grandpa He replied calmly, "I keep dreaming about our ancestors these days. I'm afraid the people who are looking after the graves aren't doing their job properly. They haven't been paying attention to where the water has gotten in or where the soil has been damaged. I'll take you there to have a look."
Although He Wenqing still had some doubts, he didn't pay them any mind and went along with her.
The carriage arrived at an empty house. It was terribly deserted, and no one had lived there for many years. However, it had obviously been cleaned up in the last two days. But for some reason, He Wenqing felt very uncomfortable about the house. He felt cold and damp all over when he got close to it.
At this moment, Grandpa He handed over a cup of freshly brewed tea. "Wenqing, it's cold outside. Going out too soon will make you catch a cold. Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up first."
He Wenqing took it without suspicion and drank it.
Not long after, He Wenqing felt a little confused. He only vaguely saw that Old Master He gave an instruction to Uncle He, who then helped him out of the car and walked into the house. He could vaguely see a house with wedding curtains hanging not far ahead...
Vaguely, he heard Uncle He say to him, "Young master, the young mistress is waiting for you inside. The old master said that it's normal for couples to quarrel, it's nothing, how can you divorce her? The young mistress is young and naive. Give her a few children, and once she becomes a mother, she'll know what's important. Young master, let me help you over."
He Wenqing was in a daze, letting the other party urge him to go.
Upon reaching the door, Uncle He could no longer follow them inside, so he instructed He Wenqing, "Young Master, please go in quickly."
Although He Wenqing was in a daze, he also wanted to see Wei Yin. He nodded and waved for her to leave.
As He Bo walked away, He Wenqing was about to knock on the door and enter when a group of ghosts suddenly appeared behind him. "Quick, grab him!"
Turning around abruptly, He Wenqing glimpsed a group of ghosts dressed in white linen clothes behind him. Each of them had a pale and eerie face and strange limbs. In particular, the leader was pregnant and had a sinister smile on his face as he looked at him. From a distance, these things looked like clusters of pale white eyeballs.
He Wenqing felt a jolt of realization and became more alert.
Before he could utter a sound, the rushing ghosts grabbed his hands and feet, as if they wanted to tear him apart!
He Wenqing couldn't remember the rest and fell into a daze again.
The ghosts were about to tear him to pieces on the spot, but the young woman stopped them after seeing this, saying, "Take him to us first."
Uncle He returned to Old Master He's side, where many people dressed in Buddhist robes had already gathered. Old Master He asked, "How is Wenqing?"
“I’ve taken it with me. When the time comes, there will be aphrodisiacs in the incense burner in that room. Even if the young mistress is unwilling, she won’t be able to do it. Master, this matter will definitely succeed.”
"That's good." Old Master He finally cheered. "All my efforts over the years have been worthwhile. My He family has an heir, and our descendants will surely continue to prosper."
"The time is almost up, sir," Uncle He reminded him after a while.
Old Master He's expression instantly turned solemn, and he ordered everyone, "Go, activate the magic array! Subdue those ghosts and perform the ritual!"
"yes!"
-
The dragon and phoenix candles were still burning vigorously, but more than half of them had already burned, and the candlelight made the inside of the red curtains appear dim and indistinct.
Lu Hun was a ghost, and his body was ice-cold. Even while doing these things, his body had no temperature to speak of. But perhaps it was because the thing was too hot, so hot that his heart was agitated, that Wei Yin not only did not feel cold, but also felt that the feeling was indescribable.
She was hot, while he was cold. Wei Yin's body was a stark contrast of hot and cold, a sensation that sent shivers down one's spine.
Having been a ghost for many years, this was the first time Lu Hun had felt the warmth of a living person; it was so hot that he couldn't help but tremble, shake, and convulse.
Wei Yin gradually couldn't withstand such extremes of hot and cold. Fortunately, it was also the first time the young man had sex. He had the strength to force it out, but he was still young and inexperienced. He couldn't last long. After about an hour, he was shaking so badly that he couldn't continue.
But young men experiencing sex for the first time are usually very excited and naturally unwilling to give up so easily. Even though Lu Hun is usually shy and patient, he was unwilling to give up at this moment and held Wei Yin's wrist to prevent her from getting up.
Wei Yin saw that his lips were trembling, clearly because he was too excited. Fearing that he was young and didn't know his own strength, she forcibly pulled her wrist away. The young man didn't dare to really use force on her, so he could only look at her with teary eyes.
Wei Yin couldn't help but laugh, then helplessly leaned over and kissed his trembling thin lips. "Alright, little Lu Hun, you're not feeling well, you can't touch your sister anymore, or something bad will happen."
Lu Hun lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, unwillingly, "Lu Hun likes being inside and outside your body, sister. Lu Hun and sister only have tonight, sister..."
"That's still not allowed." Wei Yin said this, but her heart softened in the end. "We still can't. We have to deal with that old man later. How about I kiss you, sister?"
Lu Hun was thinking about something. He slowly raised his head and looked at her gently. "I will listen to you, sister, but sister, we... are already married. Sister, you have to call me... um, kiss me, and Lu Hun will listen to you."
Wei Yin understood the boy's thoughts immediately, but she pretended not to know, "Which one? Which one is he calling?"
“We’re married now, husband and wife, so naturally we should call each other…” Lu Hun hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t bring himself to say the two words he had been dreaming of hearing.
Even at this point, he remained timid and shy.
Seeing the boy's cautious tone, Wei Yin chuckled inwardly. She reached out and put her arms around his neck, gesturing for him to lower his head. Lu Hun obediently did so, and Wei Yin kissed the tip of his ear and called out softly.
"My lord."
Lu Hun was startled, as if he hadn't heard.
After a moment, he asked cautiously, "Sister, what did you call me?"
“My lord!” Wei Yin exclaimed this time, “You are my sister’s little lord.”
Lu Hun's eyes were almost red. He hugged Wei Yin tightly. "Lu Hun is my sister's, my sister's husband. Sister can't forget Lu Hun just because she has another husband. Otherwise, sister, even if I am reduced to ashes, I will not let you go."
The boy's voice sounded like he was about to cry.
Just as Wei Yin was about to kiss the corner of his eye and coax him, she suddenly felt something was wrong with her body. Lu Hun also sensed it and instantly suppressed all his emotions. "Sister, the old man has activated the magic array."
The two could not continue. Lu Hun got up first, took the clothes and helped Wei Yin put them on one by one. When Wei Yin opened her eyes and stared at him blankly, the young man was still shy at this moment and told her to close her eyes and not to look at him.
After Wei Yin finished dressing, Lu Hun hurriedly put on his own.
As soon as she stepped to the ground, Wei Yin's legs went weak. The young man quickly supported her and asked worriedly, "Sister, did I hurt you?"
"No," Wei Yin reassured him, "I'm just a little exhausted, I'll be fine in a bit."
Lu Hun was relieved and helped her out. The young woman was already waiting outside the door. When she saw them finally come out, she said hurriedly, "You're finally here! If you hadn't come, I would have gone to call you. Hurry up, the old man is about to arrest us."
The two followed the young woman to the group of ghosts. The ghost boy had been sent in by Ji Jiayu a couple of days earlier. He followed Po Jun and his older brothers and sisters with a nervous expression, but he was no longer as panicked and helpless as before.
Besides the ghost boy, Wei Yin noticed that He Wenqing was also there. He was half-asleep with his eyes open, half-awake, and had been thrown on the ground, leaning against the wall, his mind unclear.
Seeing Wei Yin staring at He Wenqing, the young woman explained, "I heard that the old man was going to activate a magic array tonight and bring his grandson over, so I and some others stayed there to guard you. I didn't expect that we would actually catch him!"
The ghosts, filled with hatred and malice, said to the young woman, "Sister, let's kill him! The old man cherishes him the most!"
The young woman did not make a move.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Why won't you let us do it?
The young woman suddenly glanced at the ghost boy at the feet of the ghosts and asked Lu Hun somewhat nervously, "I'm thinking, if we turn this guy surnamed He into a ghost, could we replace my little brother? He's still so young and hasn't seen or experienced anything. If possible, I hope he won't disappear with us. Even if he becomes a ghost, it's better than being reduced to ashes..."
The ghosts were taken aback, then slowly fell silent, ceasing their clamor to force the young woman.
After a moment of silence, one of the ghosts spoke.
"Sister is right, can he take my brother's place?"
Lu Hun frowned and said, "Becoming a ghost depends on fate and timing. Even with the spiritual energy of this place, it's not guaranteed that one can become a ghost."
The young woman's hope vanished completely. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Then let's tear him to pieces! Let's throw his corpse at that old bastard and let him taste the pain too!"
"My sister is right! Tear him apart! Tear him apart!"
He Wenqing was finally awakened by the deafening sound. When he saw so many snarling ghosts surrounding him, his pupils shrank dramatically.
