Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Massaging Legs

At this moment, Gu Lili thought that the bamboo planted by Su Changzhi in the courtyard of Xiliang Mountain was somewhat sparse. She decided that when she returned, she would plant more around her residence to make sure it was just as pleasant as this place.

The residence was uniquely styled, and Gu Lili followed closely behind the Ghost Messenger, arriving in front of a large door.

"Creak—" The door slowly opened.

As they entered, they saw Ninth Prince leaning lazily on the imperial concubine’s couch, a man in black clothes beside him spoke, "What is this human doing here?"

Xiao Xin and Gu Lili hurriedly knelt down again.

"Ninth Prince, it is like this, she is a rare Ghost Eye User from the mortal world. She is here because a major fire accident occurred in the mortal world, and she just wanted to meet the deceased victims..."

"Yes." Gu Lili hurriedly agreed, "I came just for this purpose."

"So, that’s it. The girl stays, brat you go out."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin quickly got up and hurriedly turned to leave, leaving Gu Lili alone.

Gu Lili kept her palms facing the ground while kneeling, not daring to straighten her back. After a moment of silence, the man in black spoke, "The underworld is not a place you should frequently visit. Our prince will let you off this time. As for the murderer you asked about, I will inquire for you. You just wait here, and in the meantime, come give our prince a leg massage."

Gu Lili sighed in relief, hurriedly got up and bowed, then continued to kneel on the ground, not daring to look at Ninth Prince. Her hands landed on his legs, gently massaging and kneading.

She hardly dared to breathe, her nerves were extremely tense.

She was indeed a living soul, and with the cultivation level like that of Ninth Prince, he could naturally recognize her at a glance.

Yet, he did not take her life, which was unexpected.

"Thank you, Ninth Prince."

There was no response.

Gu Lili thought to herself that he disdained to bother with her.

So, she remained silent.

The man in black quickly returned, "The fire was set by the daughter-in-law’s father-in-law. The reason is inconceivable. He had been convicted of rape and had just been released after seven or eight years in prison. The daughter-in-law did not want to live with him, feeling disgusted and disliked him, and asked him to move out. But the mother-in-law wanted to stay to take care of the child, so the father-in-law disagreed. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a good relationship, so the mother-in-law also tried to persuade her husband. The father-in-law, feeling complex and that his daughter-in-law could not accept him and would not care for him in the future, became very angry. After stewing over it for a few days, he wanted to discuss this with his daughter-in-law alone. Unexpectedly, he walked into his daughter-in-law changing clothes, and she thought he had bad intentions. She told her husband and mother-in-law, and the father-in-law was beaten by his own son. After drinking, he opened all the gas cylinders in the middle of the night, spread gasoline everywhere in the house, wanting to die with everyone. Overall, it was a tragic family incident."

Gu Lili did not expect this and said, "Okay, may I leave this place and go back?"

"You may."

Gu Lili quickly glanced at Ninth Prince who had his eyes closed, got up, bowed deeply, and quickly ran away.

Ninth Prince opened his eyes, then finally spoke, "Xiao Hei, escort her part of the way."

"Yes, Your Highness."

***

Gu Lili opened her eyes, a layer of sweat on her forehead. Long Yubei, lying beside her, asked, "What happened, you’ve been sweating coldly."

"I was scared to death!" She reached over him, took the teacup from the table, and drank all the cold water in one gulp.
