Chapter 279 - Well Water Does Not Offend the Divine Water
Chapter 279 of "Journey to the End of the Night" kicks off revealing: The female corpseâs blindly gray eyes stared ahead into the darkness, where Fang Geyu was... Find out whatâs next!
The female corpseâs blindly gray eyes stared ahead into the darkness, where Fang Geyu was squatting right in front of her.
With a somewhat helpless tone, she said, âYou and him are both good people; I donât want to harm you.â
This female corpse was very strange, obviously full of unresolved resentment, and had just appeared as a fierce ghost seeking lives.
However, once she recognized the other person was not Tao Ziyang, she gradually showed a softer and gentler side.
Of course, the real reason she showed her true nature was due to Fang Geyuâs tender act of cleansing her body.
Fang Geyu said disdainfully, âYou think you can harm this young lady?â
The female corpseâs voice was tinged with apology, âIt seems that the young master who was taken here by the ghost soldiers is not Yun Shulang either.
You two are Cultivators from the city, here to capture Ghost.
But it was I who controlled you with the drum sound to do things against your willâŚâ
âShut up!â Fang Geyuâs face turned red, her pretty face flushed with anger as she angrily threw the water from half a bottle in her hand onto the female corpseâs face.
Her mind, which had just calmed down, seemed to flare up again.
She gritted her teeth with a grinding noise, her almond eyes glared furiously, âDo you think you havenât blinded yourself enough and want me to poke your ignorant ears deaf too?!â
The female corpse ignored the mess of water on her face.
She lay exhausted on the ground, the surrounding yin energy growing thinner.
She was initially a new ghost, and after her yin body was damaged, it was difficult to withstand the surging and violent power of the Ghost God that wasnât hers to bear.
There was a hint of confusion about to depart in her eyes, mixed with a self-deprecating relief.
The female corpse chuckled and asked, âYoung lady, could it be that your name is Fang Geyu?â
âFang Geyu?!
What?!
Youâre Fang Geyu?!â The woman from the Wandao Immortal Alliance who was bound suddenly reacted greatly.
She had looked seriously wounded, but now she sprung up like she was injected with a dose of adrenaline, excitedly saying, âFang Xiaoyu, itâs me!
Iâm Baili Xianxian, Xianxian!
When we were young, I even caught fireflies for you on the mountain, donât you remember me?â
âDonât try to get cozy with me.â Fang Geyu was truly angry, ready to explode at a touch: âYou are a Young Master from the Wandao Immortal Alliance, bought at ten taels of silver per catty, and this young lady is the sole heir of Shifang City.
We draw water from different wells; we donât interfere with each other.â
Baili Xianxianâs face turned pale with embarrassment and struggled to speak.
The female corpse, however, knew why Fang Geyu was so angry.
She took a small human-skin drum from her waist, and the pale skin of the drum bore dark, scorched marks.
That was caused by the Tear Flame earlier.
If it werenât for this ghost artifact deflecting the disaster for her, she feared she wouldâve long vanished without a trace.
âThis drum is called the Loverâs Curse Drum, a malicious creation made from the skin torn from the chests of a pair of lovelorn men and women by Ghost earlier on.
Itâs been sustained over the years by the inexhaustible resentment of men and women after their deaths.
My drum, the one specific for women, is used to captivate souls and controls compatibility through sound.
At the peak of their passionate extremities, it returns the male soul tainted with resentment, at which moment the man would kill the woman and then die from an affected heart.
Thus, the drum could add two more souls as fuel.â
One didnât need more than a toe to figure out what that so-called passionate extremityâs limit was.
Fang Geyu, still in her red clothes, cast a disdainful look at the small drum: âThere actually exist such disgusting things in this world.â
The female corpse spoke with considerable confidence, âThroughout history, countless men and women have died in this estate.
Ghost believes that in this world, no one can resist the captivating control of this drum sound.â
Fang Geyuâs expression turned extremely ugly.
She always prided herself on being extraordinary, haughty, and would never succumb to any control, nor would she bow her head in any difficult situation.
But this time, not only did she lower her proud head, but she also fell completely.
Thus, she harbored deep hatred toward Ghost, wishing he could be chopped into a thousand pieces.
âButâŚâ The female corpse suddenly changed her tone, and the smile at the corner of her lips carried a few notes of lament, âThat young master is different.â
Fang Geyu subconsciously pursed her lips.
The torn edges of her mouth still stung, prompting a deeper irritation in her eyes, and she clenched her fists stubbornly, scoffing coldly, âAll crows under the sky are black.â
As she spoke, she spat out, âBut this crow is especially dark, rotten to the core, full of bad water â not like the others.
His malice is peculiarly exquisite!â
The female corpse spoke, âI am actually somewhat envious of you.â
Fang Geyu scoffed with a sidelong glance to cover her own shame and humiliation, âDo not be so quick to envy.
Youâd better tell me where Ghost is instead of wasting your time.
Iâll let you go back to see for yourself what that boy tastes like.â
The female corpse blushed a pale hue on her face but said nothing.
Fang Geyu was fuming inside, not at all inclined to forgive that scoundrel, her words sounded tough, but on the other hand, she felt a tangled worry.
If the female corpse really took advantage of her moment fighting with Ghost to turn around and attack himâŚ
Fang Geyuâs fist tightened further, yet she maintained a cold and indifferent façade, âHowever, that full-of-bad-water guy has already been dealt with by me.
Now he must be powerless even if he has the will.â
A twitch crossed the female corpseâs lips, thinking what a ruthless and fierce woman she was facing.
Hesitating, but out of respect and sympathy for that young master, she decided to explain a bit.
âYoung lady, do you know that the Loverâs Curse Drum is an ultimate evil object, able to make those who hear it see the person before them as the one deeply longed in their heart, amplifying this desire for love infinitely.
Even a Saint or a gentleman could not resist such temptation, especially as it was you, young lady, who provoked first; you should know this best.â
Fang Geyuâs face felt as if someone had slapped her hard, scorching with pain.
Normally quick to argue, she became silent, no longer wanting to continue the topic.
But He Sha, the female corpse, continued, âI was also very shocked that at that moment the young master could resist the drumâs temptation.
Had you not forced and frightened him repeatedly, causing him to lose energy, he would not have done something unbefitting of a gentleman.
Moreover, he did not take your innocence, so your later punishment was somewhat excessive.â
Fang Geyu struggled to contain herself, but she couldnât hold back her irritation, âDo I look like a fool to you?
I know the intricacies and reasoning, but who did I provoke, and who did he take advantage of?!â
The female corpse paused, finally grasping the reasoning, and laughed, âIt seems that you are not angry about the young masterâs disrespectful actions toward you, but because at the moment it was about to happen, he called out another girlâs name.â
Fang Geyu immediately realized how laughable her words and behavior must seem.
Infuriated and embarrassed, she retorted, âAbsolutely not!
That jerkâs every action from start to finish has been infuriating; he deserves a lesson!
Who cares if he calls out Little Frost, Little Red, or Little Doggy!
What does that have to do with me!â
