Chapter 41

  Cheng Zixi was in pain, her small face scrunched up into a ball. Listening to Cheng Zihan's urgent questioning, she shook her head desperately, "No more, sister, it hurts so much."

  Cheng Zihan finally reacted and quickly let go of Cheng Zixi.

  "Zixi, think carefully, did he say anything else besides these words?" Cheng Zihan pulled Cheng Zixi along, guiding him.

  Cheng Zixi looked bewildered, as if thinking about Cheng Zihan's question, and shook her head after a long time.

  "I don't remember."

  Cheng Zihan felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but it was also true that Cheng Zixi was still so young, and after all, it was just a dream. How many people could remember what happened in their dreams after waking up?

  Cheng Zihan stopped asking Cheng Zixi any more questions and helped her get dressed before taking her out of the room together.

  Lai Ying had also come out by then and knew about the morning's events. Seeing Cheng Zihan and Cheng Zixi coming out, she couldn't help but curse, "Hmph, jinx! Wasting money to bid on that land by the river, now look what's happened? I bet there's some kind of evil spirit in that land, once the police get involved, they'll definitely take it back."

  Cheng Zihan didn't have the heart to say much to Lai Ying, and coldly swept a glance at her without speaking.

  Lai Ying self-destructed and said a few more sarcastic remarks, seeing Cheng Zihang still had no reaction, only then did she reluctantly shut her mouth.

  "Sister, I think I saw that corpse from this morning in a dream." Just as they were about to leave the doorway, Cheng Zixi furrowed her brow and said softly.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes widened in shock as he looked down at Cheng Zixi, asking anxiously, "Did you see it? What did you see?"

  "It seemed like the corpse was chasing after Tiancan's brother, biting him and scratching him..." Cheng Zixi said as he recalled, his face suddenly revealing a terrified expression, as if he had been startled by something.

  Cheng Zihan hastily stopped her from continuing to think about it. Whatever that finger was, it must have been some kind of nightmare. If Cheng Zixi continued to recall, who knows what harm it would bring to her.

  "Sister, I'm so scared." Cheng Zixi threw herself into Cheng Zihan's arms and sobbed.

  Cheng Zihan patted Cheng Zixi's back and comforted her emotions.

  "Ying Tai ah, Ying Tai, ah, why did you abandon me and leave!" Suddenly, a mournful voice floated through the air.

  Cheng Zihan raised her head and saw the butterfly she had seen on the day of her rebirth.

  Isn't this guy Liang Shanbo?

  But butterflies have a short lifespan, how can they live for thousands of years?

  Cheng Zihan looked at the butterfly with some confusion in her heart.

  That butterfly also saw Cheng Zihan, flapping its wings and flying to Cheng Zihan's shoulder, stopping there. The desolate and resentful voice came to Cheng Zihan's ears again, "Little girl, have you seen my Yingtai? Tell her I miss her very much and ask her to come home quickly, can you?"

  Cheng Zihan's heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at Cheng Zixi, seeing that she was only staring at the butterfly perched on her shoulder with a pair of beautiful big eyes, her eyes filled with astonishment but without any fear.

  It seems Cheng Zixi can't hear what Butterfly is saying.

  But is this butterfly really Liang Shanbo?

  Cheng Zihan still looked puzzled.

  She pulled Cheng Zixi into the house, back to the room, and closed the door with a swing of her hand.

  The butterfly did not leave and still stably stayed on Cheng Zihan's shoulder.

  "Are you really Liang Shanbo?" Cheng Zihan couldn't help but ask as soon as they entered the room.

  Cheng Zixi watched from the side, listening to Cheng Zihan muttering to herself, her big eyes filled with confusion.

  However, she then saw the butterfly on Cheng Zihan's shoulder and smiled happily again, also saying "Are you really Liang Shanbo?"

  The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is well-known to every household, so I've been listening to it since I was a little girl, and it's not unfamiliar at all.

  "Ah, after hundreds of years, I've finally waited for you, Ying Tai." The butterfly flapped its wings a few times and flew over to Cheng Zixi, flying back and forth in front of her.

  Cheng Zihan's heart skipped a beat, what did this mean? Could it be that Cheng Zixi was actually the reincarnation of Zhu Yingtai?

  She was shocked by her own idea, and Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched, but she saw Cheng Zixi stretch out his hand towards the butterfly, "Do you like me?"

  Listening to Cheng Zixi's crisp question, Cheng Zihan felt a little strange in her heart.

  The butterfly fluttered around Cheng Zixi a few times before landing steadily on her shoulder.

  Cheng Zixi's face wore a faint smile, a smile that was so unfamiliar it gave Cheng Zihan a very strange feeling.

  At this moment, it seems as if she has traversed past and present lives. She is no longer her young and naive sister, but rather Zhu Yingtai who deeply loved Liang Shanbo hundreds of years ago.

  This realization made Cheng Zihans heart feel somewhat sad.

  She glanced at the butterfly and asked faintly, "Will you following my sister harm her?"

  The butterfly seemed to want to prove its sincerity, flapped its wings twice, and then said, "I swear on my life, I will definitely use my life to protect her, protect my princess."

  Cheng Zihan nodded and didn't bother with him anymore.

  Anyway, he is just a butterfly, and may be gone someday, I'm afraid he can't stay with Cheng Zixi for too long.

  Jian Cheng Zi Han didn't say a word, the butterfly understood that she had accepted herself, so she folded her wings and quietly landed on Cheng Zi Xi's shoulder.

  After a while, as if thinking of something, he looked at Cheng Zihan and said, "Have you been to the bamboo forest by the river?"

  Cheng Zihan initially didn't react, only faintly responding with a single word, but after reacting, he suddenly understood what the butterfly had asked and stared at him with wide eyes.

  "Don't look at me with such surprise, I've been living here for two or three hundred years, so I'm naturally familiar with things around here. Over there, I advise you not to get close, I had a feeling earlier that someone has disturbed something in that place, and the thing inside is showing signs of awakening. If it awakens, none of the thousands of residents nearby will be able to escape. I know you have special abilities, but with your power alone, I'm afraid you won't even be able to protect your loved ones. If you believe me, go immediately to Mount Mao, over a thousand miles away, and seek out the old Taoist who lives in hiding there. With his help, your chances of success will be greater."

  The butterfly's tone was still faintly faint, as if the life and death of everyone here had nothing to do with him.

  However, in Liang Shanbo's heart, he probably only thought of Zhu Yingtai.

  Cheng Zihan nodded, but how could she go to a place thousands of miles away by herself? She was directionally challenged.

  However, in order to save the villagers here and protect her parents, she had to do so.

  It wasn't until now that Cheng Zihan realized just how big of a trouble Qin Kexiu had brought back for himself!
