Reentering the netherworld. I looked at the tall plaque on the door for a long mont and sighed. Then with a determined ntality I went to Yanwang’s palace while the little ghost watched .
I opened the door of Yanwang’s palace. Surprisingly, I didn’t hear the sound of Yanwang’s snoring. Only on a small table beside Yanwang’s enormous desk, the magistrate is buried into a pile of cases. He was busily writing. Even when I ca in he didn’t look up and just throw out a few words: “Do you have so business here? Say it.”
“Eh......I’m here again.”
After saying that, the magistrate finally lifted his head from the table and glanced at once. Then he buried his head and continues to work.
“En, I see.”
I totally didn’t expect such a cold treatnt. I waited for a while and thought that short terd pain is better than long terd pain and asked: “Where is Yanwang? I have co to receive my punishnt.”
The magistrate replied coldly: “Went on a business trip to heaven. Not back yet.”
My eyes lit up: “Then can I just go to reincarnate and don’t have to bother about him?”
The magistrate looked at coldly again with an “don’t even think about it” expression.
“Wait quietly in the netherworld.”
I sighed and asked: “Then how long do I have to wait?”
“One day in heaven is one year in the mortal realm. Yanwang is almost gone for a year. He will be in heaven for about two, three days.”
This ans two three years here, ah! Having an endless immortal life, waiting for a couple of years is not too long. But having been living as a mortal, I also began to care about ti.
Two three years......it’ll be enough for Chu Kong to defeat Wei country.
I picked up my good mood and was about to walk out of Yanwang’s palace to take advantage of this two three years free ti in the netherworld when the magistrate coldly stopped : “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to take a two year long vacation by traveling in the netherworld.”
“Long vacation?”
After the magistrate heard those two words, his eyes flashed green. He fiercely threw all the files on the table onto the ground and stood up.
“You dare to ntion long vacation in front of ! The netherworld lacks people, so there isn’t one ghost who will stay a year without doing anything, you know?! Staying up overnight, working overti won’t get paid, do you know?! Even working when you’re sick is very normal, do you know?! You actually dare to go on a vacation traveling in the netherworld?! Very good, very good. I see; you immortals coming down to reincarnate is just to tornt us. Very good, very good. I understand. When Yanwang co back I’ll make him let you lick the ghost shoes to let you taste how bitter taste like......”
I rubbed my forehead and waved: “I understand, I understand. You want to help, I’ll help.”
The magistrate sat again. While writing, he said: “First help pick up the files and put them in order. On Yanwang’s table there’re many docunts that need to be stamped. On the left they need to be stamped. On the right, they need to be crossed. You just do this simple job.”
When I finished it was lunchti. While I was thinking about that, I honestly sat down on Yanwang’s seat. Under the table I saw a bunch of docunts that still need to be done. I was instantly dumbfounded: “This.......why is this Yanwang usually not busy?”
The magistrate said without expression: “Because the things he left, I’ll need clean up after him while he is on a business trip. If I don’t clean them, his things will be left here.”
I said: “If that’s so, you can just pretend you didn’t clean and didn’t see the things.”
The magistrate looked at coldly. I sat down and began to work. But the fact is that I and Yanwang isn’t the type to do desk work.
Working for less than seven days, I’m beginning to look left and right and being unable to concentrate. I’m beginning to understand a little why Yanwang will have that kind of expression after he saw and Chu Kong co down to the netherworld. He will expose such an expression of excitent, because the netherworld’s life really is too boring. It’s difficult to look for sothing fun......
I climbed onto Yanwang’s desk. There’s a hard thing blocking my face. I curiously unplug the hard thing. Inside it is a mirror. This mirror felt a little familiar. I asked the the magistrate: “What is this?”
The magistrate’s gaze swept over .
“The mirror of the past. You have to work.”
I ignored the other half of what he said and asked: “For what can it be used?”
“To see the past life of the one whom your heart wants to see. I said you have to work!”
I nodded and ignored the other half of what he said. Then I looked into the mirror with my eyes wide open. Suddenly I rembered. Didn’t Yanwang use this thing to let see Lu Hai Kong from that lifeti? Then I didn’t have the heart to watch. Now......I still can’t bear to watch.
My heart was thinking that. Suddenly the mirror began to move volatility. I saw a familiar face. It’s general Kong. He is wearing a heavy armor riding a warhorse. The aura he’s emitting go well together with the position of a general. So I actually couldn’t believe that the man I saw in the mirror is the sa prideful and with a bad mouth, Chu Kong.
So, when I couldn’t see him, Chu Kong will also have this expression. This expression of his looks like Lu Hai Kong who was burdened with hatred but whom has a soft heart.......
At least, this is what I saw.
“Kill!”
He raised the long sword and went straight ahead. The noise of the battlefield and the nurous people screaming went into my ears. His murderous aura seed to pass through the mirror and made shudder. I put down the mirror. I didn’t want to continue to look.
Unexpectedly, the next few days my heart beca serious. I repeatedly crossed and stamped. Or maybe my heart didn’t beco serious, but was absent-minded.
One day, I hesitated to stamp. I asked the magistrate: “You say, does Chu Kong still rember the things of Lu Hai Kong from that lifeti?”
The magistrate glanced at once: “Do you still rember the lifeti when you drank the soup of oblivion?”
I nodded.
The magistrate hmfed coldly: “Then isn’t it solved?”
“But......I an.”
I thought for a while how to put it in language: “Does that lifeti’s feelings also stay?”
In my opinion what silly Xiang left for from that lifeti is only reliance on Chu Kong and the inexplicable trust in him.
Although I know that silly Xiang from that lifeti is entrusted to an immortal.
Facing with my question, the magistrate said categorically: “If you ask celestial star Chu Kong, I only have one answer.”
I looked at him with my eyes wide open. The magistrate said: “Are you blind? Can’t you see that he always liked you?”
Chapter 34 Part 2:
“Like”, although I always joke with Chu Kong about this word, but suddenly hearing it from another person’s mouth, my face turned red in an instant.
“Is is is.......is it like that, ah? So it was true, ah. I always just joked about it......So it’s true......he truly li.......likes , ah. Really......really hateful! I’m so shy!”
The magistrate mouth twitched: “Don’t pretend to be innocent. This isn’t like you!”
I said dissatisfied: “You just let pretend for a little while. Suddenly hearing such a thing, the feelings of a woman in will still feel shy. Give them a chance!”
“Then you continue.”
I turned. My cheeks really burned slightly. I think......perhaps this is also a feeling that silly Xiang left for .
I thought for a while on the desk and then took out the mirror of the past. I didn’t have the ti to say what my heart is thinking when the mirror began to move. I can see general Kong’s face. Now he’s sitting with tilt legs on an armchair. It’s totally different from a few days ago hen he was on the battlefield. By this ti, he stood in front of a woman who is bound and lying on the floor. I narrowed my eyes and saw that’s actually Xinyun.
Chu Kong and Xinyun......
“You say, what do you like?”
Chu Kong sipped tea and his eyes fell on Xinyun. Even under such circumstances, in front of Chu Kong Xinyun didn’t forget to smile: “What qieshen1 likes, don’t general already knows?”
The implication is that she likes the general. I pouted. If inside the general’s body is still I will urinate on her and then ask her if she still likes . Definitely ruining the image of the general in her heart.
Chu Kong listened to her words and nodded: “To be honest, I did carefully investigate things that you like. Luoi hairpin, rosewood beads, blue and white velvet robe.......If I rembered correctly, these are all the things I gave to you.”
Xinyun shyly nodded. Chu Kong narrowed his eyes and smiled.
If I rembered correctly, this smile of his ant that he is conspiring sothing.
“That ti you left in hurry and all these things has been left at my other mansion in the capital. These few days, I have ordered people to bring them for you. Take a look. Are these your most favorite things?”
Xinyun didn’t dare to look at Chu Kong directly. With dazed eyes and with so warmth, she said: “General......”
I sighed. Lady, you’re too serious. How can you take Chu Kong so seriously? He is poison, ah. That’s sothing toxic!
“Are you sure that these are it?”
“En, that’s right.”
The gentleness in Xinyun’s eyes turned into a mass of light.
“Very good,” Chu Kong nodded.
His voice changed and he said: “Smash them. Those that are made of cloth, burn them.”
Xinyun’s eyes turned blank. She watched so rough man smashing her favorite thing into pieces.
She looked at Chu Kong blankly: “Why? Chu Qinghui, are you taking revenge because I killed princess Qingling?”
She couldn’t conceal the hatred in her heart. Her expression turned crazy. It’s the sa as how she looks at “” then.
“Do you want to take revenge on so much?! For that bitch! You give everything to her! Status, wealth and a child! You gave her everything! Even our only ti did you call her na! What’s bad about ?! What’s bad about ?!”
Chu Kong stared quietly at her: “There’s nothing good about you. Voice too shrewd, talking too much nonsense, heart is too malicious. The worst is that your hand is too shrewd. You played with my toy and broke it. Xiaoye is in a bad mood. I also want to play and break you a little. Continue saying, what more do you like? What more do you still care about? I will ruin them for you to see.”
“Hehe, you want to take revenge, then take it!”
I deeply feel that these two people dialogues are not on the sa level.
Xinyun said full of hate: “Before between you two is the affairs of the court. You couldn’t be together. Now you couldn’t be together even more! You will never see each other again! In this life, Chu Qinghui, you won’t be able to live nice and comfortable!”
If these words fell on the real general’s ears, it can cause so harm.
Chu Kong frowned and dug in his ear: “Block her mouth. Her shrewd mouth is too noisy.”
He circled around Xinyun and said: “You only listen. Xiaoye wants to deal with you just because you need to be dealt with. I will not use my hands against a woman.
My heart silently said: “Liar.”
Chu Kong continued: “......So, after you finish this life, don’t reincarnate and appear in front of , otherwise, I’ll deal with you every ti I see you.”
Chu Kong ordered so people to drag her out. He sat alone drinking tea in the armchair. Suddenly facing the empty hall, he sighed and then murmured: “She must not have kissed yet, right?”
I was stunned to hear this nonsense sentence of him. Like a fool I giggled in front of the mirror. The magistrate beside hit on the head with a stack of files: “Work hard!”
In quiet a good mood, I put down the mirror of the past. I thought that when I couldn’t see Chu Kong, he is so honest and cute, ah! He really is a child whom the mouth says sothing but the heart doesn’t an it.
If now I can’t see Chu Kong, I probably will also miss him......right?
That being said, I seemingly also......likes him......right?
I buried my head in the pile of files. Suddenly I’m a little worried that the temperature of my face will burn down the files.
The days in the netherworld passed with taking a peak in the mirror of the past from ti to ti. In a blink of eye I stayed for more than two years in the netherworld.
In the mirror of the past, most of the ti in these two years Chu Kong led the army and reconquered the lands occupied by Wei country and he conquered five more lands of Wei country. The citizens of the Wei country handed down a decree saying that they are surrendering. Chu Kong teared down the decree, let Wei country pay the damages and Wei country need to promise to be under Qi country for fifty years. Wei country’s monarch struggled a lot, so Chu Kong ate three more cities.......Finally Wei country’s monarch accepted Chu Kong’s conditions.
Under the summon of Qi country’s emperor, Chu Kong triumphantly returned with the troops to the capital. This ti there aren’t rumors around the general.
The day he triumphantly returned to the capital the ground was full of snow. Riding high on the horse, looking at the sky, he stopped for a long ti and didn’t take a step forward. Such a figure of him made feel desolate and lonely. Perhaps Chu Kong and this thing called snow can’t go together.
After he won with such a success, he should be able to enjoy and rest for at least ten years in the mortal realm. Then I and he will really miss each other in the next lifeti......
After having such a thought, my days beca listless. When I can be lazy, I’ll try my hardest to be lazy. I’m only waiting for Yanwang to co back, receive my punishnt and then go.
In this netherworld where it is all year round without rest, I ford so habits. I will stroll around the bridge before going to Yanwang’s palace to work. When I strolled by the road to the netherworld, suddenly from the road ca a familiar figure. I stared at him and rubbed my eyes in disbelief. He saw and his pace halted slightly.
Through the miasma of the netherworld, we stared at each other for a long ti. No one spoke. Eventually, he lifted his feet and walked towards . He stood three paces away from . I stared at him for a mont. Suddenly seeing Chu Kong in person after seeing him for two years in the mirror, all kinds of complicated feelings ca to the surface. I have an impulse to run to him and hug him. This impulse, made my heart feel surprised. I’m busily restraining my mood and smiled at him.
In a blink of eye, I saw him fisting his hands at his sides. Fisted and loosened, loosened and fisted again. It looked like he was restraining from an impulse. Can it be......he also wants to hug ?
The smile on my face turned more brilliant: “Yo! Long ti no see. You did pretty well in the human world.......”
I haven’t finished yet, when a ghost suddenly ca running to and fiercely bumped from behind. I staggered. At this ti a second ghost bumped into . I staggered a step further. A third ghost bumped into . I staggered again. My body couldn’t hold it up and went straight in Chu Kong’s embrace.
The ghosts who bumped into one after another bolted to the other side of the road. Not even their shadows are left, leaving all embarrassed in Chu Kong’s embrace.
I felt his arms on my back and hugging tightly......
Really, hugging, ah!
My face fell sowhat hot, but I didn’t break away from Chu Kong. I let him hug . Surprisingly, he also didn’t speak, didn’t let go, just hugging tightly.
This.......scene felt really loving ah........
“Chu Kong,” I said after staying quiet for a long mont. I hid the skin of my face and asked: “What do you an with this?”
Above my head was silent for a long ti, before cold voice said: “Xiaoye......xiaoye’s hands got cramps. Temporarily couldn’t get them down. Don’t think too much.”
“I......I also got cramps on my legs. Just temporarily relying on you. Don’t think too much of it.”
Comnt:
Their excuses.......
