Chapter 8: Corpse of Chaos

  From the cell where Fei Dian was being held to the exit of the dungeon, a long corridor hung with flickering torches, and stone stairs spiralled upwards. Fei Dian could not see the moonlight outside, nor could he hear the sound of the wind.

  There was only the sound of water coming from who-knows-where, dripping and dropping, and on this first night after arriving in the mortal world, he actually felt a little homesick.

  Although his grandmother had always educated him, he was a cold and noble existence that was not ordinary. He was the most sacred, destined to become a godly fox demon, all creatures of the Fox tribe would crawl under his feet, let alone lowly humans. But Fei Yan sometimes didn't understand why after knowing that life is born unequal, and being superior to others by one level, he wasn't as happy as when he knew nothing before.

  If Grandma hadn't taught him these things, he might still think of himself as an ordinary fox spirit and live happily with his misshapen little friends.

  So, after understanding how to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, and the concept of hierarchy, what else does it bring to his life besides loneliness?

  The exit of the dungeon can already be seen in front, shining with a faint blue light.

  "Ah..." Fei Yan let out a soft sigh, "Still have to seduce the Emperor soon, conquer humanity, and then can be with Grandma."

  As he walked to the exit, Fei Dian strode out unimpeded, but suddenly two guards darted out from both sides, brandishing their knives and shouting fiercely, "How dare you! You actually dare to escape!"

  They are so ferocious just to cover up that they were dozing off earlier and didn't even notice when everyone walked out the door.

  Fei Dian ignored the two guards' roars and intimidation, calmly walking out past their crossed blades.

  The moonlight on a summer night was bright and cool, and Fei Yan's white clothes complemented it perfectly. The two guards didn't know whether the faint glow surrounding Fei Yan came from the moon or from himself.

  By the time they came back to their senses, Fei Yan had already disappeared in front of the prison gate hidden by a cluster of flowers.

  The two guards exchanged a glance, one of them speaking up, "What to do? Should we report this to His Majesty?"

  "You're crazy, want to die or what?!"

  "Uh..."

  "Hurry up and go bring this person back! If we bring him back, nothing will happen when he's locked up. If we can't find him, let's just kill ourselves to avoid implicating our families!"

  ……

  The palace is so big, Fei Dian doesn't know where Yin Chen lives, but he temporarily doesn't want to find Yin Chen. He wants to find that little devil-like boy who framed him in the daytime and beat him up badly.

  But he also didn't know where Yin Huan lived.

  Still have to find a low-level creature to ask, Fei Dian made up his mind and started looking around for a creature.

  The palace, although resplendent and bustling, was actually desolate and chilling. Fei Yan thought to himself, completely unaware of the person who suddenly rushed out from behind the fake mountain next to him and heavily collided with his body.

  Fei Yan stumbled backward several steps and fell to the ground. The person he collided with also lay on the ground.

  She was a young and beautiful girl, her body was wet and covered with algae, at this time she was pressing her chest and breathing heavily, seemingly in great discomfort.

  Fei Yan frowned and patted the spot where he was bumped by the woman, saying with disgust, "Can't you see? Ugly human to death!"

  That girl seemed to have not heard what Fei Dian was saying at all, and immediately knelt down beside him, grasping his hand and pleading, "Sir, don't kill me... please don't kill me..."

  Lightning touched her hand and found her body temperature to be frighteningly low. Although puzzled, he still withdrew his hand, staring at her coldly without asking any questions or leaving.

  The woman was dazed and her eyes were blurry as she stared at Fei Dian. Suddenly, a look of terror appeared on her face, and she quickly knelt down in front of him, shouting, "You... don't come any closer... I didn't see anything..."

  Looking at her pleading appearance, Fei Yan felt a bit helpless and annoyed. He had thought of leaving it alone, but after all, he had finally met someone, and if he didn't ask her, he wouldn't know when he would meet others.

  He crouched down and said calmly, "I didn't intend to kill you, did you mistake me for someone else?"

  The woman's scattered gaze gradually gained some focus, and she seemed to have made out that Fei Yan was not there to kill her. She immediately hid behind Fei Yan, looked around nervously, and after confirming that no one was watching, knelt down again. "Sir, you must be a trusted person of the Emperor since you can come and go freely here. Please, sir, let me see the Emperor, I have in my hands important evidence of the plot by Guoshi and others to collude with the Princess of Guyu to harm the Emperor!"

  Fei Dianzhan stood up and said to the woman, "I am not a trusted person of your master, but I must go find him. Can you tell me where he lives? Of course, what I most want to know is where that stinky little devil named Huan Shizi lives."

  "Please, sir," the woman did not respond to Fei Dian, but immediately knocked her head several times, "Sir, I know that with these things, I won't live for much longer. But before I die, I must see His Majesty once! Please, sir, take me out!"

  "It's... hard to get out of here? Why did you bring me out, I clearly don't know the way either." Fei Dian looked at her with some disdain, "As expected, humans are stupid. I clearly said it before, let you tell me where he is."

  "No... it's not like that..." The woman shook her head with a hint of sadness, "A lowly concubine like myself, Your Majesty has never taken me seriously, to the point where I've tried multiple times to stop you from leaving, but you always walk past me as if you didn't see me..."

  The girl said and burst into tears, Fei Dian looked at the tear-stained girl and began to dislike Yin Sheng a little. He actually looked down on people because of their humble identity. What qualifications did he have to look down on women who were also lowly creatures like him? Only he, Fei Dian, had the qualifications to ignore the lowly humans here.

  "Get up and stop sniveling," Fei Yan said coldly. "Then tell me how to get to the palace where your emperor lives."

  Is this to respond to her and take her to see His Majesty? The woman happily stood up, followed Flying Electric's back for two steps, suddenly a white light shot out from somewhere, shining on the woman's body. The woman immediately let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, her body gradually swelling up. Her originally pale skin turned cyan and white, just like she had been soaked in water for several days.

  Fei Yan was shocked by the development of things, completely unaware of how to react. The woman seemed to be in agony, clutching her chest and rolling on the ground, her expression equally bewildered, as if she had no idea why she was like this.

  Fei Dian returned to his senses and looked towards the place where the white light had shot out earlier. It was actually a carving of an owl's tail on the top of the pavilion by the roadside, made of golden nanmu wood. At this moment, it had transformed into a tangible form and was roaring at the weak woman on the ground.

  This thing is extremely spiritual, flying electricity although it's a fox tribe elf, but the fox tribe doesn't eat human smoke has some immortal energy, maybe deceived the owl tail, but this woman... Could she also be a certain sect elf, coming to seduce the emperor?

  Fei Yan immediately took a step back, looking at the man with suspicion and asked, "What are you? Why would the owl appear for you?"

  The woman was somewhat frightened, but more puzzled. She looked up at the eaves and then at the flying lightning, muttering to herself, "I am the daughter of Secretary Lang Wan Cen, not long ago Your Majesty chose a consort, I just entered the palace, Your Majesty has not spoken a word to me..."

  It turned out to be the concubine of the Little Emperor... For some reason, Fei Yan's heart felt a bit stuffy, thinking that the Little Emperor was so young and already had a concubine. Didn't they know that being too close to women at a young age is bad for their health? It's no wonder that lowly creatures are just that - lowly creatures, not knowing how to properly take care of their own bodies, deserving to be lowly creatures for the rest of their lives!

  But... the lightning-fast glance at the people on the ground, I don't know why her skin tone is such an ugly color, like a corpse, and her figure is so bloated, like a corpse that has been soaked for several days. The little emperor can even take in such a person as a concubine, isn't he simply a person without any aesthetic sense? What else can I use to entice him?!

  No... In the flying computer sea, what kind of idea exploded, corpse... owl tail... Could it be that this woman is actually a dead person who doesn't know she's dead?

  Fei Yan thought of this and reached out to take her pulse... Indeed, after half a day, there was no reaction.

  Fei Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman, saying emotionlessly, "I reckon... you're probably already dead."

  The woman's face showed disbelief, "Sir, what are you talking about? If I were dead, then who is it that is standing in front of you and speaking to you now?"

  "Can't you think of anything that's happened since you died?" Fei Yan asked, his heart involuntarily filled with even more disdain for this lowly creature who didn't even know she was dead... no, wait, now that she's dead, is she still a lowly human? What level is an undead person? Grandma never taught him that...

  The woman looked bewildered, and she began to recall the time she discovered the ancient fish kingdom princess. After a moment, she suddenly revealed a terrified expression, her eyes filled with fear, hugging her head and curling up into a ball, shouting "I don't know anything... Don't kill me..."

  "Who killed you?" Fei Dian asked in a casual tone, seemingly not caring about the answer.

  His eyes were clearly devoid of any emotion, a cold and clear color, but the woman felt that they emitted a warm and gentle hue, as if giving her immense encouragement, she began to tentatively recall the scene at the time.

  "I can't think of anything else..." she said, "I don't know who killed me and threw my body into the lotus pond. Your Majesty even sent people to look for me, but by then I had already become like this... Even if I stood in front of you, you wouldn't be able to see me..."

  The girl started crying again after she finished speaking.

  "Stop crying," Fei Dian frowned slightly, "Since you're already dead, you should find out who killed you and avenge yourself. Otherwise, hurry up and reincarnate, go wherever you want to go. What's the point of crying? Also, tell me your name, stop calling yourself 'concubine' all the time, it's annoying."

  "My name is Wan Ying..."

  " Wan Ling is right, if you want to find the one who killed yourself, take me to see Yin Cheng immediately!"
