Chapter 682: Chapter 682: The Grievance of the Deep Palace and the Queen’s Dream_1
Qin Sisi didn’t beat around the bush, responding directly: "I need Soul Power. As long as you’re willing to offer your Soul Power to , I can help you realize your wish."
Wanwan looked surprised and asked uneasily, "But won’t I completely disintegrate if I give you my Soul Power?"
Qin Sisi quickly explained, "No, your soul will temporarily scatter in different places, and a thousand years later it will reassemble. Then you can reincarnate. So, you can make a wish for the present or the future."
Wanwan fell silent. She did indeed have a long-cherished wish. She had always thought it was just sothing to fantasize about in dreams, but Qin Sisi’s appearance had given her hope.
Nevertheless, Qin Sisi’s demands were demanding, which is why she hesitated.
"Can you fulfill any wish?" Wanwan looked up at Qin Sisi and asked again.
Qin Sisi pondered, then replied, "As long as I can, anything is possible. But I won’t kill anyone."
Wanwan said with a conflicted expression, "I kind of want you to help
kill soone, just that the person who deserves to be sliced to pieces is likely untraceable."
Qin Sisi gently said, "Can you tell
about your story? Maybe I can give you so advice."
Wanwan slowly nodded, her expression in flux, as if she was transported back to a gloomy afternoon hundreds of years ago.
"My family was very poor. When I was twelve, a distant relative recomnded
to the palace and I beca a palace maid doing chores.
My relative said to
before leaving: work hard, you’re so pretty, you might catch the eye of a concubine if you’re diligent enough. If you beco a first-class palace maid and have a chance to et the Emperor, and if you’re lucky and he takes a liking to you, your life will be set.
So, with this hope, I started my life in the palace, thinking I was so pretty that I would definitely prosper.
But, not only did the Emperor never notice , I never even made it to first-class palace maid, always doing chores in the Imperial Garden.
Thirteen years passed and I never even saw what the Emperor looked like.
When I turned twenty-five, I was old enough to be released from the palace. I figured, since I wasn’t going to end up as a concubine, it would be better to leave the palace rather than die there.
So, I told the old maid in charge, collected my salary, and left the Imperial Palace.
My parents had already passed away by then, but I still had older and younger brothers. I planned to seek shelter with my elder brother. However, while I was walking through the mountains, I was attacked by bandits. They..."
At this point, Wanwan’s eyes showed hatred, and she covered her face, starting to cry.
A young, attractive girl, alone on the road, caught the eye of a group of atrocious bandits. It was like a lamb walking into a wolf den — there was no hope of survival.
After the bandits raped and killed Wanwan, they took all the money and jewelry on her, leaving her body exposed on the mountain, with no place to be buried.
The regret of waiting in the desolate palace for over a decade, and the resentnt of sudden misfortune, made Wanwan’s ghost reluctant to reincarnate. She wasn’t willing to just die like this, feeling her life was too short and stifled.
There was a silver bracelet on Wanwan’s wrist. That was the only thing her mother gave her when she entered the palace.
During the struggle, the bracelet had slipped further up on her arm, unnoticed by the bandits. Therefore, the bracelet luckily stayed with Wanwan.
Wanwan’s spirit hid inside the silver bracelet. She would ebb out to practice during the late hours of the night.
After hundreds of years, her practice finally made so progress. She gained the ability to devour the soul of a living person.
So, she began planning to reincarnate. As long as a suitable person wore her bracelet, she would be able to devour this person’s soul within three days and then utilize their body to reincarnate.
Unfortunately, the ones who possessed the bracelet afterwards were either unsuitable in age or unattractive, so Wanwan did not take any actions.
She had waited so many years already and didn’t mind waiting a few more.
Lin Ying purchased this silver bracelet from a small roadside stall while hiking once. However, she didn’t pay much attention to it and forgot about it after keeping it in a drawer.
It was only when Lin Shan ca back to sell the house that the bracelet was dug out again, and she wore it on her wrist.
Lin Shan ets all of Wanwan’s requirents, young and beautiful.
That’s why the condition of Lin Shan being possessed by a ghost occurred.
However, Wanwan didn’t expect Lin Shan to have a friend like Qin Sisi who could exorcise ghosts, moreover, she had been staying at Qin Sisi’s place these past few days, thereby escaping.
Her long-awaited plan ended in failure, which filled her with frustration. But Qin Sisi’s offer to help her fulfill her wishes gave her new hope.
She had been waiting for hundreds of years. If she could actually fulfill that extravagant wish, waiting another thousand years would probably be worth it!
Wanwan sighed and said, "Indeed, I have a burning desire for revenge, but..."
Several hundred years have passed since then, those bandits have already turned to dust–there’s no way to get revenge.
Qin Sisi pondered for a mont before deciding not to dwell on the revenge.
Wanwan and those bandits happened upon each other by chance. It was impossible for her to know their exact birth dates and tis, and she didn’t even know their nas. It would be impossible to find any of those people.
Qin Sisi gently consoled, "Since you can’t seek revenge, don’t dwell on it. Look forward to your next life. Although your previous life wasn’t good, you could compensate for it in the next.
Think it through carefully, who do you want to beco in your next life?"
Wanwan bit her lip, her face flushing as she mustered the courage to say, "In my next life, I want to be a queen."
This wasn’t a wish she ca up with to negotiate with Qin Sisi; it was a desire buried deep in her heart for many years.
Once, while she was sweeping in the Imperial Garden, the Queen happened to pass by.
She kneeled on the ground, and after the Queen passed, she sneaked a peek at her back. She saw bright, colorful garnts, dazzling with gemstones. The sight nearly blinded her.
From that mont on, she had this wish. She was ready to pay any price to beco the Queen.
"The Queen?" Qin Sisi was a little surprised, and said with difficulty, "But there are no emperors now."
Wanwan was stunned. Yes, too much ti had passed, and there were no emperors now, how could she beco a queen?
She thought carefully and asked, "What is the highest official now?"
Qin Sisi considered, "It should be a president or pri minister!"
Wanwan imdiately asserted, "Then I want to be the wife of a president or a pri minister!"
