Shi Ling hesitated for a moment before he walked towards the thatched pavilion. The weeping of the woman gave off a very sad and beautiful feeling, it was very delicate and weak. The zither music was also filled with sadness.
Shi Ling came to the front of the lady and sat down at the back. He said, "May I know what is the matter for this lady to be so sad?"
The woman wiped off the tears at the corner of her eyes and said with slight sadness: "Young master, you might not know this, but I am originally the daughter of the Xiao Family's Changyuan City, although my family is not some wealthy family, I still have my own influence within the Changyuan City. My family has an old father, mother, and seven siblings, originally, the family was quite happy together, but afterwards, an accident caused our Xiao Family to be exterminated."
As she spoke to here, the woman surnamed Xiao began to sob, as if she were recalling a painful memory from the past. Her delicate appearance really made one want to hug her to protect her from any harm.
"Later on, when my Chou family members thought I was pretty good, they wanted to marry me as their concubine, but they were my enemies who killed their parents, how could I possibly agree to that? Thus, taking advantage of the deep night, I secretly escaped from the Changyuan City, all the way to the west. I originally wanted to stay here, but when the villagers found out that my family had been destroyed by someone, they said that I was a banished star and that it would bring bad luck, so they chased me away.
At this time, Shi Ling also revealed a sympathetic expression and immediately said angrily: "Your enemies are really a bunch of animals, and they are crazy, and there are even villagers with Guqiao Village. It's not your fault that your family was annihilated, why would they blame you, a weak girl? You are too despicable!"
Shi Ling's resentful look was really quite an unusual act. If there were other people who didn't know Shi Ling here, they would have definitely been tricked by Shi Ling's excellent acting skills.
At this time, the woman raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears in her eyes. Then, she turned to Shi Ling and said, "That's right, I wonder what your name is. Why have you come here?"
Shi Ling said, "My name is Ling Xiao, a citizen of Anyang City. I came here to play and accidentally saw you hurt. I couldn't bear it anymore so I came here to offer my condolences. I hope you don't mind."
The woman's sadness was replaced by sadness in her heart. She smiled and said, "I see. Brother Ling Xiao is here. I am Xiao Qingqing."
With that, she stood up and bowed slightly towards Shi Ling. Shi Ling waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be overly courteous, but he heard Shi Ling say, "It's already so late at night, does Miss Xiao not feel lonely touching the zither again?"
Xiao Qingqing sat down again, sighed and said, "Who says I won't. I'm alone now, I have no one to rely on, and my heart is empty. I've always wanted to find someone to keep me company."
Shi Ling's eyes lit up when he heard that. He immediately revealed a lecherous smile and said, "Then, I wonder if I have the honor of becoming Miss Xiao's partner?"
The greed and possessiveness in his eyes were not concealed at all, and Xiao Qingqing seemed to have long gotten used to people like Shi Ling. She immediately pursed her lips and chuckled, "If officials don't mind me, I can become a government official tonight."
After saying that, she even revealed a cute appearance. Shi Ling immediately revealed a happy expression and said: "Seriously!"
Xiao Qingqing nodded slightly, and Shi Ling immediately stood up. When he reached Xiao Qingqing's side, he put his arm around Xiao Qingqing's slender waist, and his other hand stroked her jade hand. Smelling the fragrance of a beauty, Shi Ling's face revealed a relaxed and happy expression.
Xiao Qingqing snuggled up to Shi Ling and used her lily-white hand to pick up a glass of wine from the long table beside her. She then handed it to Shi Ling and said, "Since I'm already yours, let's have a drink first, shall we?"
Shi Ling took the glass of water and said with a smile, "I also have the same intention."
The two of them looked at each other with deep feelings, then they poured the wine cup into their mouths. At this moment, when Xiao Qingqing saw Shi Ling drink the wine, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.
After drinking the wine, Xiao Qingqing snuggled into Shi Ling's embrace again. At the same time, her jade-like hands pressed on Shi Ling's chest and she said, "Sir, it's getting late. Shall I serve you to bed?"
After saying that, Xiao Qingqing's other hand reached behind Shi Ling. The nail on that hand began to lengthen, as if it was a vampire.
At this time, Shi Ling stretched out a finger and hooked Xiao Qingqing's lower jaw. He looked at her extremely exquisite face and smiled: "Don't be in such a rush, how about we do some foreplay first?"
Xiao Qingqing's deep eyes revealed a trace of curiosity. She asked, "Then what does the official want to play with?"
Shi Ling suddenly said: "See if I can take your life in a few seconds!"
With that, Shi Ling hit Xiao Qingqing's shoulder. Without any reaction, Xiao Qingqing was directly sent flying by Shi Ling and she vomited blood. At the same time, a shocked expression appeared in Xiao Qingqing's eyes as she looked at Shi Ling and exclaimed, "What happened to you?"
Shi Ling stood up and vomited to the side. He spat out all the wine he had just drunk. Then, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "How come I'm not confused by you?"
With that, Shi Ling walked towards Xiao Qingqing with his hands behind his back. Just like before, one of his hands lifted her chin and said, "It's because I've seen too much of you."
After Xiao Qingqing heard that, she squinted her eyes slightly. However, she soon revealed an evil smile. Soon after, she saw a pair of skeletal hands reach out from under Shi Ling's feet and grab his feet.
Xiao Qingqing immediately retreated backwards to keep a distance from Shi Ling. At the same time, she spat with blood towards the side and said, "So what if you saw through it?" This is my territory. Since you have come, I will not let you leave this place alive! "
Shi Ling raised his foot and crushed the skeleton hand under his foot. He smiled evilly and said: "Oh, is that so? "Let's give it a try!"
Hearing this, Xiao Qingqing's face showed a surprised expression. After looking at Shi Ling's evil grin, she felt even more uncertain. She couldn't help but slightly step back. With a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes, she said, "You're courting death!"
With that, she stretched out her hands and countless ghost shadows appeared around her. They surrounded Shi Ling and under Xiao Qingqing's control, they bit towards Shi Ling as if they were going to bite Shi Ling into pieces.
Shi Ling let out a faint laugh. He immediately raised a finger and snapped his fingers. The next moment, a blue flame flew out from Shi Ling's Heart Ring and wrapped around Shi Ling's hand.
When those ghosts flew over, Shi Ling slapped them. Immediately, the ghost was engulfed by the Yin Fire. After letting out a hysterical roar, it was completely incinerated by the Yin Fire.
In just a blink of an eye, Shi Ling had slapped the other ghost shadows around him to death. Xiao Qingqing's pupils abruptly shrunk when she saw this, and she stared straight at the Yin Fire in Shi Ling's hands. Fear filled her heart, and she immediately ran away without being able to resist at all.
However, just as she was about to escape the grass pavilion, she was rebounded back by an invisible force. Xiao Qingqing's eyes widened as she stared at the invisible barrier and asked, "How did this happen?"
