Chapter 935 - Chapter 935 Chapter 935 Making a Bet with Du Shiniang

Chapter 935: Chapter 935: Making a Bet with Du Shiniang! Chapter 935: Chapter 935: Making a Bet with Du Shiniang! Having witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s mana and divine skills firsthand, the esteemed Ghost King Du Shiniang felt somewhat cowed. Besides, she also feared that Huang Xiaolong might harm her dear sisters.

Therefore, Du Shiniang’s attitude softened considerably. “Master…we stay here at the inn, and we do not leave, actually… actually, it’s for revenge… How about this, Master, I, Du Shiniang, hereby promise that I will never again harm innocent people. My jewelry will also never be picked up by anyone again… Master, are you satisfied with this?”

“Revenge? What revenge do you still seek?” Ma Chuxia asked in surprise.

“Heh heh, still trying to negotiate terms with me?” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

As he spoke, Huang Xiaolong’s body shone with golden light once again, within which countless runes floated, exuding a majestic pressure, each rune seeming to crush the heavens and the earth!

Huang Xiaolong’s divine might radiated! That terrifying presence, as if he were a monarch above all, directly subdued Ghost King Du Shiniang and those purple-dressed fierce ghosts, leaving them completely unable to flee.

At this moment, Du Shiniang and the purple-dressed fierce ghosts also deeply understood that Huang Xiaolong was no simple character! They were in no position to contend against him!

Under the envelopment of Huang Xiaolong’s aura, Du Shiniang and the purple-dressed female ghosts felt an extreme sense of insignificance! It was as if they were mere ants facing a prehistoric beast, utterly terrifying!

“Master… who… who are you? How… how could you be so strong…” Du Shiniang clenched her fists. “But… I must take my revenge! I have waited for hundreds of years! I need to avenge myself!”

“What revenge, speak already,” Xiaohong couldn’t help but blurt out.

Huang Xiaolong spoke leisurely, “Du Shiniang’s greatest nemeses in her life, one was the faithless lover ‘Li Jia’ who betrayed her, and the other was the sly and deceitful merchant ‘Sun Fu’–”

“No way? Both of those men have long since died. What revenge is there to take?” Ma Chuxia said somewhat speechlessly. “Du Shiniang, your grudge… it’s too persistent.”

“Yes, these two men who betrayed me have long been dead, and even their souls have entered the underworld for reincarnation,” Du Shiniang said with a murderous and indignant glare in her ghostly eyes.

“Are you crazy?” Qingqing scoffed contemptuously. “Your enemies are already dead and haven’t turned into fierce ghosts lingering in the world of the living… what revenge could you possibly take?”

“Hmph! I have figured it out! I finally figured it out! Although the souls of Li Jia and Sun Fu had descended to the underworld a long time ago, they have been reincarnating all this time! It’s been exactly four hundred years since I furiously sunk my treasure chest! And at last, I’ve deduced the news of the reincarnations of Li Jia and Sun Fu! They are now people in Yangzhou City! I will kill them! I want to obliterate their souls! Only by avenging the profound grudge of the past will my resentment dissipate! Otherwise, it will plague me forever and ever! I don’t want this! I must put an end to it!”

Malice flickered in Du Shiniang’s eyes.

“You’re really too obsessed,” Ma Chuxia, although sympathetic to Du Shiniang, was somewhat disapproving of her vengeful obsession. “Your hatred should have turned to dust four hundred years ago, but somehow, you’ve extended it to this day, hundreds of years later. Li Jia and Sun Fu are long dead, and even though they have been reincarnated… you shouldn’t be seeking revenge on them. Li Jia and Sun Fu of this life are innocent! Let it go, how long will this cycle of vengeance continue?”

Huang Xiaolong looked at Du Shiniang with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Actually, all Huang Xiaolong needed to do was recite a few Buddhist scriptures to cleanse Du Shiniang of her resentment and persistence.

However, Huang Xiaolong was curious to see what else Du Shiniang had to say.

“Master, your mana is powerful, and I am no match for you. Here, I have a request… after I kill Li Jia and Sun Fu of this lifetime, I am willing to accept death!” Du Shiniang’s eyes showed determination. “Also, please, Master, spare my sisters–they have never harmed anyone, all the sins committed were my doings! After I execute the enemies, you can kill or decimate me as you wish!”

Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “I’ve already said, I don’t like making deals with ghosts. You should be clear, if I want to kill you, it is but a thought away…”

“Master!” Du Shiniang was extremely unwilling.

The atmosphere became somewhat stiff.

After being silent for a dozen seconds, Du Shiniang finally looked at Huang Xiaolong, “Master, do you dare to make a bet with me?”

“Hahaha~~~ Du Shiniang, you still want to provoke me? Hahaha~~~” Huang Xiaolong let out a knowing laugh. “Forget it, what bet do you want to make? Tell me? Actually, I quite enjoy taking bets.”

“Master, now, Li Jia and Sun Fu have been through several reincarnations and are people once more. They are both in Yangzhou City. I will kill them within three days. If, Master, you can also determine their current identities and stop me from killing them, and I cannot succeed after three days, then I lose,” Du Shiniang’s gaze flickered, a shrewd look crossing her eyes. “If I lose, Master can dispose of me as you please, annihilate my soul, and I will have no complaints. Of course, if Master pities me, you can take me as your servant, and I am willing to follow by Master’s side with my sisters, serving you wholeheartedly and with undivided loyalty.”

“`

Pausing for a moment, Du Shiniang continued, “If, by chance, I succeed and win, Master, please leave Yangzhou City immediately and cease troubling me and my sisters. Of course, I can also assure you that, once revenge is taken, my sisters and I will retreat to this canal and no longer harm innocent people.”

Du Shiniang’s intention was crystal clear: Huang Xiaolong had three days to find the current incarnations of Li Jia and Sun Fu. And if he found them, he had to protect them from being killed by Du Shiniang.

If Du Shiniang succeeded within three days, it would mean Huang Xiaolong had lost to her.

Otherwise, Huang Xiaolong would win.

Then, with a command from Du Shiniang, the purple-robed female ghosts drifted back to the painted boat. Huang Xiaolong did not stop them.

The burning painted boat was also extinguished by Du Shiniang, who exerted all her strength to quell the roaring flames.

Soon after, the purple-robed female ghosts carried out all the living people who had previously stepped onto the ghost ship.

Those people were not in mortal danger, souls intact, merely having fainted. Laid on the riverbank, they would all naturally wake up after at most half an hour with the cold wind blowing on them.

“Heh heh heh~~quite interesting~~” Huang Xiaolong grinned, but in his heart, he was full of disdain, ‘Little one, still trying to give me a challenge? Hahaha~~Alright! This round, I’ll play along with you!’

“Good! It’s settled then, I will go find the current incarnations of Li Jia and Sun Fu right now.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled abruptly, wrapping his arm around Ma Chuxia’s slender waist. “Little wifey, let’s go.”

Thereupon, Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, Qingqing, Xiaohong, and the men leading the way all left together.

Taking a few steps, Huang Xiaolong looked back, tauntingly gazing at Du Shiniang. “I warn you, don’t try any tricks. I’ve memorized the aura of all you ghosts. Whether you ascend to heaven or burrow into the earth, you won’t escape my clutches.”

“Master, please be assured, Shiniang will not resort to deceit. If Master can find the current incarnations of Li Jia and Sun Fu, Shiniang is willing to accept the bet and admit defeat,” replied Du Shiniang, curtseying to Huang Xiaolong, her resentful and fierce aura somewhat diminished, becoming gentle and charming, no longer ghostly but resembling a lady from a wealthy ancient family.

Huang Xiaolong and the others left.

“Miss…” A group of purple-robed fierce ghosts swarmed up, encircling Du Shiniang.

“Miss, that Taoist is too formidable. If you lose the bet to him, it would be terrible…” the purple-robed female ghosts chattered anxiously.

Du Shiniang collected her emotions, her face charming and touchingly delicate, the calmness on it as serene as water. “He cannot find the current incarnations of Li Jia and Sun Fu! It’s impossible! Four hundred years have passed, Li Jia and Sun Fu have both undergone ten cycles of reincarnation. He cannot possibly find them in three days. Not to mention three days, even three years, thirty years, he won’t find them!”

A sharp look flashed in Du Shiniang’s alluring eyes, “I was driven by hatred and resentment, my obsession leading me to calculate for a full four hundred years before finally finding the current incarnations of Li Jia and Sun Fu! This time, that master has no chance! Absolutely none!”

“There’s no time to lose, we’ll make our move tonight!” declared Du Shiniang, waving her sleeve as her spectral form suddenly fluttered in the wind before transforming into a stream of ghostly qi and vanishing without a trace.

Following that, the painted boat and all the purple-robed fierce ghosts also disappeared.

…

Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, Qingqing, and Xiaohong arrived at the downtown area of Yangzhou City and checked into a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.

Huang Xiaolong took a hot shower.

“Young Master, this bet is a bit risky,” Qingqing expressed with a frown. “Those Sun Fu and Li Jia lived during the Ming Dynasty, 400 years ago. They must have been reincarnated many times over by now. To find their current incarnations is incredibly difficult. And that Du Shiniang, she’s too cunning. She must have already known who those two reincarnations are by now. That ghost is practically invincible.”

“Hahaha~~What’s so difficult about that? Okay, I’ll go find the current incarnations of Li Jia and Sun Fu right now!” Huang Xiaolong laughed lightheartedly, irreverently.
