Chapter 033
"Xiyue, you know, I like you, but for our future, I have to marry my cousin." Xie Ying returned to normal, lifted Xiyue's chin, and said affectionately.
Xiyue's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes full of infatuation: "It's okay, thank you. Xiyue knows that her status is not worthy of you, and she is willing to be your maid or concubine."
Xie Ying's eyes were red with emotion: "Xiyue treats me so well, I will not let Xiyue down. Let's go..."
"Xie Lang, where are we going?" Xiyue asked in surprise.
"Although I can't marry you as my wife, I hope to drink a cup of wedding wine with you." Xie Ying took Xiyue's hand and led him towards the bridal chamber.
Xiyue was so moved that she almost cried: "How could I be so worthy of receiving such great love from my husband... I will die without any regrets."
Xie Ying looked at her affectionately and said meaningfully, "You will get what you wish for."
Immersed in the emotion, Xiyue didn't notice anything wrong and was hurriedly pulled by Xie Ying into the bridal chamber.
Cheng Hui and the others followed behind the two of them and witnessed the changes in Xie Ying with their own eyes, and they all felt a chill down their spines.
"Who is Xie Ying?" Xin Erniang felt a chill on her back.
Neither Ye Qi nor Master Xuan Tan answered. It was not because they didn’t know, but because there were too many answers and they couldn’t be sure for the time being.
In addition to following Xie Ying, Cheng Hui also noticed something else: "Have you noticed that there are fewer servants in the yard?"
"Compared to the liveliness during previous festivals, it's too quiet now." Ye Qi said thoughtfully.
"What do you think Xie Ying wants to do by bringing Xiyue to the new house?" Cheng Hui asked Aqiu in his mind.
Aqiu replied, "Xiyue was wearing a wedding dress before she died, right? In other words, her obsession before she died was to become a bride."
Cheng Hui was shocked: "Are you implying that Xie Ying wants to take Xiyue to the bridal chamber and kill her?"
"No need to kill, Xiyue won't live long." Aqiu said lightly.
"Why?" Cheng Hui glanced at Xiyue. Xiyue did not show any signs of weakness at this moment. How did Aqiu know that Xiyue was going to die?
A Qiu could see through Cheng Hui's eyes, perhaps because he had practiced the blood-based skills to the extreme and even found his own way. Even though he entered this wonderful world and lost his body, he could still see many things through Cheng Hui's eyes.
For example, in his eyes, Master Xuan Tan and Ye Qi were both burning with extremely vigorous energy and blood. In contrast, Xin Er Niang's energy and blood were much dimmer, but still much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Although Xiyue at this moment only existed in a memory, he could still see through Xiyue's body that her internal organs were actually exhausted, and only a thin layer of qi and blood remained, barely supporting the body's movements.
Moreover, as she walked, the energy and blood gradually dimmed, and it seemed that even the last bit of blood was about to disappear.
As Xiyue and Xie Ying arrived at the bridal chamber and sat down beside the bed, Xiyue's cheeks, which had been flushed with excitement, finally began to lose their color uncontrollably, turning an ominous bluish-white.
Her pupils were already dilated, and her body was limp in Xie Ying's arms, as if she had only one last breath left, but she was unaware of it.
Ye Qi and Xuan Tan were both shocked by her change, but they were both experienced and immediately discovered that Xiyue was already dying.
"This is..." Master Xuan Tan frowned and looked at Xie Ying with a serious look.
Ye Qi seemed to have thought of something, his pupils trembled, and his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the knife, ready to draw the knife at any time.
Xin Erniang had no idea what was going on. She only knew that Xiyue suddenly became like this. She looked at the other two people in confusion.
"It's Meng Lang! Or the Meng Lang who is about to achieve enlightenment." Master Xuan Tan frowned, as if he had thought of something bad.
What is Menglang?
Cheng Hui was completely confused. As a time traveler, he had no idea about the various monsters in this world.
Fortunately, I have been bombarded with information in modern society, so I don't look shocked by this.
Xie Ying hugged Xiyue and fed her a cup of wedding wine. Xiyue's face was already showing a dead look, but she still showed a happy expression, until -
Xie Ying pushed her to the ground, stepped on her face, and cursed: "Look at how disgusting you look."
"Xie Lang...?" Xiyue showed a shocked expression, but she was too weak to even get up.
"Fool! Do you know how despicable you are with that silly look on your face?" Xie Ying sneered maliciously, "Do you really think I would fall for a lowly girl like you? But, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, how could I have hooked up with my cousin? I really have to thank you very much. But it's a pity that you are so stupid. Do you really think I would take you into my room? Do you deserve it?"
"You..." Xiyue began to spit out blood in big mouthfuls. The bright red blood dyed her skirt red, just like the wedding dress.
She stared at Xie Ying intently, but Xie Ying looked back at her without any guilt. In the end, Xiyue breathed her last in resentment and unwillingness.
"This...what kind of vicious person is this?" Xin Erniang was shocked. In her limited past, she had never come across such a vicious person. It was beyond her imagination.
Even the usually kind Master Xuan Tan showed an extremely disgusted expression. If Xie Ying appeared in front of him, Master Xuan Tan would probably not be able to help but directly liberate him.
For people like this, living is unfair to others.
"Why did he do this?" Xin Erniang was puzzled. In her opinion, Xiyue's own actions were indeed very unusual, but she was sincere towards Xie Ying. Even if Xie Ying didn't like her, you had killed her, so why bother to provoke her before her death.
"He did it on purpose." Ye Qi said coldly.
Then they saw why Xie Ying did this.
He leaned over and cut his fingertips, letting a drop of blood flow into Xiyue's mouth. Then a transparent figure emerged from Xiyue's body.
The figure was originally confused, but after seeing Xie Ying, a layer of black air emerged from his body, and he turned into a fierce ghost almost in an instant.
Xiyue's evil ghost waved its sharp nails and pounced towards Xie Ying, but Xie Ying was prepared. He raised his hand and made a hand gesture, and was controlled by Xie Ying.
Then, he moved forward and continuously sucked out a large amount of black air from Xiyue's mouth, and Xiyue's ghost shadow began to become visibly fainter.
Cheng Hui: ...
Shit, is this true? Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go?
Xie Ying almost sucked Xiyue dry, leaving only a faint shadow. He did not get rid of Xiyue, but instead put her ghost into a small bottle.
This Xie Ying really exploits people to the extreme.
Then, all the images collapsed and they returned to the dilapidated house.
Cheng Hui finally couldn't help asking Master Xuan Tan who this Meng Lang was.
Master Xuan Tan explained to him that Meng Lang was a very strange ghost, born from a person's erotic dream. At first, he could only exist in dreams, sucking people's essence through dreams.
In this way, the damage to people is not great, and they can basically recover in about a week. It is considered a small demon that is not very dangerous and is extremely concealed.
But the scary thing is that Meng Lang can communicate with people by making love with them in his dreams. If a hundred people promise to marry him without being interrupted, he can walk from the dream into reality.
The dreamer who entered reality was only a small town. He could absorb the essence of others through intercourse, gradually solidifying his body. The more people liked him, the more solid his body became. And the more people liked him, the greater the chance that they would become evil spirits after dying at his hands, and the more energy he could absorb from them.
So the reason why Xie Ying provoked Xiyue so much just now was to stimulate her and increase the chance of her becoming a fierce ghost.
Moreover, Xiyue had drunk wedding wine with him and promised to die for him. Therefore, the evil ghost formed after Xiyue's death would become Xie Ying's accomplice, that is, would obey his command. This is why Xie Ying did not completely devour Xiyue.
It is difficult for Menglang to practice in dreams, but once he steps into reality, it is easy for him to practice to perfection. Xie Ying is obviously a Menglang who has already achieved perfection. Therefore, neither Ye Qi nor Xuan Tan found anything wrong with him at first, because he is already a physical entity that has been cultivated.
Every woman who marries Meng Lang will end up with a miserable death, and every marriage will become a source of strength for Meng Lang, so Meng Lang will never tire of hooking up with women everywhere. If they can get married, that's the best, but if they can't, as long as they can get the girl, it's not a loss.
"So, the one we need to deal with is this Meng Lang?" Xin Erniang breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that she would face some terrifying demon later.
"Wait... Meng Lang needs to marry a woman, right? There is no one in the manor anymore, would he still stay here?" Cheng Hui suddenly said.
Xin Erniang froze for a moment. Meng Lang was a typical roving criminal. If he wanted to practice, he had to torture women. Of course, he would not stay in a dilapidated manor.
Ye Qi and Xuan Tan also thought of this, so they didn't say anything for the time being.
"Also, I've always wanted to ask, isn't this memory too long?" Cheng Hui asked suspiciously, "Master Xuan Tan, can the tree you encountered hold so many memories? Also, what exactly is this memory? This memory spans several courtyards, almost covering most of the manor. What on earth could have so many memories?"
Master Xuan Tan suddenly felt as if he had suddenly realized something. No wonder he had felt something was wrong before. It turned out that his memory covered too large an area.
The memory of the tree he touched was only in the small space below the canopy, and there was nothing beyond the canopy. So where did this huge memory come from?
Or... was it remembered by something?
