In this quiet night, her cries sounded so piercing.
However, Wang and others living in the same courtyard were met with shouts of abuse!
“What are you howling about this late at night? If you’re missing a man, just deal with it yourself. What’s all the fuss?”
“There was also cursing coming from Cui’s room. ‘That’s right, if you want a man, just find something to take care of it yourself. What are you shouting about in the middle of the night? Are you trying to keep people awake?'”
Liu was so scared at this point that she didn’t even care how harshly they were scolding her.
An Xue Tang closed the door and slid forward.
Liu shuddered and retreated, her face illuminated by the moonlight, making her appear even more terrifying.
“You…who are you?” Liu cried out.
“Mother, doesn’t recognize me anymore?” That was indeed An Xue Tang’s voice.
“Mother said there’s nothing impossible? I haven’t forgotten the powerful sweat medicine mother gave me on my wedding day.”
“I…” When Liu heard An Xuetang mention this, she almost confirmed An Xuetang’s identity, “Ah Tang, I’m sorry to have wronged you.”
She suddenly slumped down and burst into tears.
An Xuetang’s voice suddenly changed, turning cold as she said, “Mother is indeed sorry to me. If it weren’t for Mother giving me that bowl of strong medicine, I wouldn’t have lost my life. My life was given by Mother, but in the end, it was also taken back by Mother.”
“No…impossible!” Mrs. Liu’s eyes widened, she couldn’t believe what An Xue Tang said at all.
“What’s impossible? I’m dead, do I need to lie to mother?” An Xue Tang said coldly.
“Mother… Mother didn’t mean it that way.” Liu Shi sobbed, “A Tang, my A Tang, can you please come back?”
“Mother, I can’t come back.” An Xue Tang feigned a helpless sigh:
“I’m going to reincarnate now. I came here to tell you, Mother, that I have spoken with An Xuetang of this time. She will take care of you in my place. She will live a good life with the hope I entrusted to her. I hope you treat her well, Mother, and she will treat you well too.”
Liu stared blankly, unable to find words. Tears streamed down her cheeks incessantly.
“Mother, my time has come, I must leave. Mother, please take good care of yourself. I won’t blame you for what happened to me. You must live well and not be bullied anymore.”
After saying that, An Xue Tang slowly slid away.
Liu Shi didn’t know what happened. After An Xue Tang left, she fainted.
An Xuetang glanced at her from the window, seeing that she was unharmed. Then, she glided away.
To be honest, with these roads now, roller skating is really uncomfortable for her. Luckily, she’s good enough at it!
After leaving the An family, An Xue Tang went to the Yang family. Didn’t Lin and Yang Xiao want her dead?
If she didn’t teach them how to behave, she wouldn’t be An Xuetang!
Upon arriving at the Yang residence, An Xue Tang wasted no time and began to display a sinister smile and an eerie grin.
She began to “walk” in the Yang family wearing roller skates, and her laughter quickly woke up Lin Shi and Yang Xiao.
Both the mother and daughter felt a chill run down their spines at the laughter, and looking through the door, they could clearly see shadowy figures flickering about in the yard. It was terrifying.
Yang Xiao instantly burst into tears, “Mother… mother, I’m scared.”
Yang Xiao cried out in the room.
Mrs. Lin was also afraid; they lived right next door to Yang Xiao. Hearing Yang Xiao’s crying, she shouted into the yard, “Who is it?”
“Come at me!”
Every sound was like a death knell.
The mother and daughter were so scared their pants were wet. Lin knelt on the bed, facing the direction of the courtyard and kowtowed, “Spare our lives, spare our lives! My daughter and I don’t want to die. Please spare our lives.”
Hearing Lin’s cries, Yang Xiafang’s room also echoed with words similar to Lin’s.
An Xuetang curled her lips and continued, “Do you know why I’m here to claim your lives?”
“Mrs. Lin immediately burst into tears and begged, “Please tell us, noble one, please tell us, celestial being, what have we done wrong? We will definitely change it!”
An Xuetang suddenly pushed open the door to Lin’s room, then slid inside, slowly ‘floating’ to Lin’s side, and said in a sinister voice:
“You… have stirred up trouble with someone you shouldn’t have. Do you admit it?”
Lin had already been intimidated by An Xuetang’s decorated face.
Only then did she slowly come back to herself after hearing her say that.
Who shouldn’t be messed with?
The mother and daughter instantly thought of An Xue Tang. They had only made an enemy of An Xue Tang so far.
“Please spare my life, immortal! I dare not do it again, I dare not!” Mrs. Lin trembled with fear, she kept kowtowing, “Immortal, please spare my life! I dare not do it again!”
An Xuetang smirked, “Then you better remember your words, or…” she hummed playfully.
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Lin had fainted from fright.
An Xuetang was speechless, she slipped to Yang Xiao’s room. Yang Xiao was even more frightened; as soon as she opened the door, Yang Xiao saw her face and fainted!
An Xuetang: “…”
Okay, a bunch of wimps!
Leaving Yang’s house, An Xuetang went to the village temple where Master Ding resided.
The monk slept quite comfortably, his snoring rising and falling in waves of sound.
An Xuetang took a wild grass, slid to the monk’s side, and then bent down to rub his nose with the grass.
The monk was awakened by an itch and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw An Xuetang’s face. He let out a loud cry and fell to the ground.
An Xue Tang let out that sinister smile again, “Little monk, this great fairy hasn’t had fresh meat in ages, you came just in time.”
“No…no…don’t eat me!” The monk didn’t even bother with his shoes, he scrambled to his feet and ran outside.
How could Xue Tang possibly let him leave so easily?
Then, An Xuetang quickly slid to the door and shut it.
The monk instantly burst into tears, “Great Immortal, please spare my life! Great Immortal, please spare my life!”
An Xuetang let out a snort. “Aren’t you a monk? What are you afraid of me doing?”
“No, no, no, I’m not a real monk, just a fake one. I didn’t mean to offend you, Great Immortal, please forgive me!”
“But you have already offended me, what should I do?”
The monk kept kneeling, “Great Immortal, please spare my life, Great Immortal, please spare my life.”
Then you slap yourself until I’m happy, and then I’ll let you go.
The monk dared not refuse, so he began slapping himself.
After enduring countless slaps, An Xuetang smirked and said, “Next, I suggest you try bumping your head against the pillar.”
The monk: “…”
He just showed an expression of displeasure, and at that instant, An Xuetang’s face changed, looking like she was about to pounce.
The monk had no choice but to rush forward and collide with it.
“Not exerting yourself also gets you punished, you know~ ”
The monk, no longer daring to be playful, could only grit his teeth and crash into it with all his might.
When he was bleeding and bruised, An Xuetang delivered a harsh warning, “Get out of here immediately, or don’t blame me for what happens next.”
The monk’s legs went weak with fright, but he still ran away quickly.
After An Xuetang came out, she was just about to go home, but who knew that someone called her name directly halfway.
“An Xue Tang.”
Damn, busted?
An Xuetang was still thinking about whether or not to continue leaving, when the voice came again, “An Xuetang.”
“… ”
“I said, kid, you’re trying to scare your sister to death, aren’t you?”
Dong’er smiled, “Sister, why are you dressed like this? And your face…”
“Oh, my face is fine, it’s all makeup effects. Don’t worry.”
“What were you doing then?”
“Oh.” An Xue Tang smiled, but she found that her smile seemed to frighten Dong Ge’er. He took several steps back, looking scared as he stammered,
“Sis, you…you shouldn’t keep smiling at my face like that, I’m afraid I’ll have a nightmare.”
“… ”
An Xuetang gave him a speechless glance. “Then what are you doing here? You’re not sleeping at this late hour, what are you doing here?”
“I can’t sleep, so I came out for a walk.”
“Hmm? Can’t sleep?” An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, “Come on, tell your sister, what happened that you couldn’t sleep.”
It’s not that anything happened, I was just thinking about whether or not to take the imperial examinations.
“Huh?” An Xue Tang frowned, “You’ve gone to school, so why not take the imperial examinations? Isn’t that what going to school is for?”
Dong Ge’er shook his head, his expression serious and composed, not at all like a sixteen-year-old.
He let out a long sigh, “Sis, do you know what kind of person the emperor is now?”
An Xuetang shook her head. “I don’t know.”
“The current emperor is cruel and incompetent. I would not want to die for such a man.”
“…”
An Xuetang couldn’t have imagined that Dong Ge could say such things.
After hearing a lot from Ah Jing, An Xue Tang could also guess that the current emperor was not a good emperor.
Dong Ge continued, “I heard something a few days ago, a matter of national importance, life or death. Because of this, I’m now reconsidering whether to pursue officialdom.”
“What’s up?”
First, the Crown Prince is to be executed by the Emperor. What’s worse, there are rumors spreading everywhere that the God of War, the Fifth Prince who guards the Northern Border, has been defeated and killed in battle. But instead of mourning for him, the Emperor blames the defeat on the Fifth Prince himself.
Actually, who doesn’t know the emperor’s heart? Isn’t the emperor afraid that the Fifth Prince’s wings will be full and threaten his throne?
The Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince are from the same mother. The Crown Prince was deposed by the emperor and imprisoned for so many years. In fact, the emperor is afraid that the Fifth Prince will support the Crown Prince and fight him.
So there’s also word from inside, that the Fifth Prince actually lost and disappeared because the Emperor sent someone to stab him in the back. The Fifth Prince never expected to be betrayed by his own people, so after his defeat, he was disappointed with the country and the Emperor, and retired from the world!
“So this Fifth Prince is a good person? Now that the Emperor is treating him like this, are you taking up for him?”
Dong’er smiled. “Well, whether the Fifth Prince is a good man or not, I don’t know. All I know is that because he guards the northern border, the people of the northern border live peaceful lives. In the northern border, everyone fears him, but everyone respects him!”
