Chapter 41: Just Die Like This

  The female corpse was right behind me, as if I were carrying her on my back. My shoulders held her skull, and my limbs were controlled by hers. I was going to replace her in this cold water.

  Finally, I saw someone rushing into the water, they came, Xuan Yuan Ye and Xue Qiu Feng.

  The female corpse suddenly let out a creepy laugh right next to my ear, sending chills down my spine.

  Then I stared blankly as Xuan Yuan went mad, his pupils turned golden yellow, his body split into four or five pieces, and his fingernails grew extremely long. He rushed up like a madman and fought with the female corpse together.

  I stared with my eyes wide open, just like I was dead, moving rapidly along with the female corpse's movements, defending against Xuan Yuan Mu's attack. I wanted to struggle but couldn't exert any strength at all. My eyes flowed out tears, but because I was underwater, it didn't show at all.

  Leave me alone, leave me alone...

  I screamed in my heart, and my unmoving pupils saw the female corpse use me to poke a hole in Xuan Yuan's abdomen, with her eerie laughter echoing in my ears.

  I want to close my eyes and not look at everything in front of me, but my eyes can't move, I can only stare blankly as he gets hurt, one wound after another.

  If I hadn't blocked the female corpse, Xuan Yuan Mu wouldn't have been so passive. Those corpses would have taken advantage of the opportunity to kill him. Fortunately, Xue Qiufeng used the Bagua mirror to suppress them, otherwise, with so many corpses, even if Xuan Yuan Mu's strength was greater, he wouldn't have been able to defend against all of them.

  Die, just die like this, don't care about me, I should have died long ago, on the day my mother gave birth to me, on the day the King of Ghosts chose his concubine, in every one of the countless days of life...

  I'm disappointed. With me standing in front of the female corpse, Xuan Yuan Wu will never have the chance to win, and I don't want to see him get hurt for me again.

  Then, I felt that my eyes could move, and I blinked. Had my will overcome the corpse's control? With this discovery, I was excited, and suddenly turned around to face the female corpse stuck on my shoulder.

  The female corpse was also startled for a moment, and just as she was about to regain control of me, I used my only movable head to violently collide with her swollen face.

  I broke free, the female corpse separated from me. In this brief moment, Xuan Yuan Mu rushed up and struck the female corpse's body several times with her long fingernails, tearing flesh and splashing blood everywhere.

  They took me back to the East Palace, Xuan Yuan's clothes were tattered and torn, revealing the snow-white flesh inside, which was turned outward, shocking at first sight.

  I stretched out my hand and pointed at his wound, unable to speak.

  Xue Qiufeng walked up and knocked on my back with force, once, twice, three times...

  A burst of relief flooded through my chest, and I vomited out a lot of cold water, collapsing weakly onto the bed.

  "Xue big sister, how did you manage to escape from the female corpse's hands? She had clearly grasped your soul and controlled your entire body. It's really strange, I thought... " Xue Qiufeng didn't continue speaking, but instead looked me up and down: "Tell me, how exactly did you do it?"

  I shook my head: "I didn't do anything!"

  "Is it your will, what have you thought of? Are you going to teach me some Taoist magic that even my master can't escape from the grasp of a female corpse?"

  "I was just thinking..." I looked at Xuan Yuan Mu by the bed and didn't dare say anything.

  "What's on your mind?" Xue Qiufeng asked urgently.

  "I wish you wouldn't bother me, I want to die..." I lowered my head and didn't dare look at Xuan Yuan Mu. After a long time, seeing that neither of them made any noise, I secretly turned my head back to look at him again.

  He frowned, his eyes turned yellow, and he looked at me with some anger.

  "What's going on? You thought of death and then the female corpse couldn't control you?" Xue Qiufeng paced back and forth in the room, thinking about this question.

  I stared at Xuan Yuan's wound "You're injured!"

  "It's nothing!" Xuan Yuan's face also showed no expression, turned his head away and stopped talking.

  Is he angry because I don't want to live or because I hurt him?

  "I've got it!" Xue Qiufeng suddenly stopped in his tracks, a look of surprise on his face: "The female corpse needs resentment, only women with resentment can replace her as a vengeful spirit when they fall into her hands. But Snow Sister's body doesn't have any resentment, no anger, just wanting to be free, not hating anyone, so she can't control it, without resentment, even in death, she can't become a vengeful spirit! I finally understand."

  Is this the reason? I don't know, but everyone is fine, and I'm very grateful!

  That night, Xuan Yuan didn't sleep in the room. He was so badly injured that he went back to the small building's stone coffin to recover. I was left alone. Xue Qiufeng came out of the palace and had the yin-yang ghost doctor prescribe medicine for me. The palace maid helped me bandage my wounds, and in a daze, I fell into a dreamland.

  In a chaotic dream, I was controlled by a female corpse. Xuan Yuan Wu's body was pierced by the female corpse, and I was crying, hiding in a stone coffin holding Xuan Yuan Wu's corpse and crying...

  "Snow! Ling Xue! Wake up, wake up, wake up......"

  I heard a familiar voice calling me, I wasn't in the water, nor was I in a stone coffin. A bright light appeared before my eyes, and I walked towards that light...

  Then I opened my eyes and saw Xuan Yuan Mu embracing me with a haggard face.

  "Snow...". Xuan Yuan saw me wake up and tightly hugged me.

  "What's wrong?" Xuan Yuan Mu looked very sad and distressed.

  "Miss, you've been unconscious for three days!" Zhang Ya stood in front of the bed, her eyes red from crying.

  "Did I faint?" I looked at the people in the room in surprise, and even the yin-yang ghost doctor had arrived at the palace. Seeing me wake up, he let out a sigh of relief.

  "It's all right now, as long as you're awake, it's all right. I'll take my leave too. If anything happens in the future, just send someone to call for me!"

  Guī Yī and Zhang Māmā have both left, Xuán Yuǎn Wù is holding me and won't let go, his face pale, he lowers his head to kiss my forehead, silent and unresponsive, just tightly embracing.

  I forced out a smile: "Put me down, I'm uncomfortable like this!"

  Xuanyuan quickly put me down and looked at me carefully, stretching out his hand to touch my cheek "It's okay, it's okay!"

  "My smile grew wider 'Look at you getting all tense, I just caught a cold!'"

  "Was it just a cold? You know you almost... " Xuan Yuan Mu shut his mouth and didn't speak, then lowered his head and kissed my lips, so fiercely, so forcefully...

  After a while, his kiss gradually turned gentle and light, caressing me softly, his fingers slowly wandering over my body. Then he let out a deep sigh, fell to one side: "You scared us!" As he said that, he reached out and pulled me into his arms.

  "Snow, these three days we've tried every method, but you just won't wake up. You keep crying nonstop, and no matter how much I wipe your tears away, they just won't dry. I've never seen you cry so much before!"
