Chapter 15: People’s Hearts
Li Qinglin opened his eyes and said, “Madam’s guest room is clean and exquisite. Thank you madam for taking me in.”
The madam put down the wine tray, took out the jug and poured a cup of wine, and said softly, “There is nothing to entertain the distinguished guest in the countryside. The night is so cold, how about a glass of warm wine?”
Li Qinglin looked at her without speaking.
Anyone who was not a wood could clearly see the intention of seducing, not to mention that Li Qinglin was waiting for her?
Seeing that Li Qinglin didn’t respond, Mrs. Zhang raised her glass, took a sip, and said with a light smile, “The temperature of the wine is just right.” As she spoke, she slowly moved to the side of the bed and handed the wine glass she had sipped to Li Qinglin. “Mister, can you drink?”
Li Qinglin took the wine and showed a smile, “The wine is fragrant, and so is madam, why can’t I drink?”
Mrs. Zhang’s expression became even more charming. Her eyes were watery, “Do you want to be more fragrant, mister?”
Li Qinglin looked at her dressed in filial piety and sighed, “But Madam’s current look… makes me feel uneasy.”
“What does that matter? The dead is gone. We always have to look to the future.” Mrs. Zhang said flatteringly, “Besides, isn’t this filial piety costume more interesting?”
“Indeed, it’s more interesting.” Li Qinglin half-smiled, “Unexpectedly, there is such a custom in this villa.”
Mrs. Zhang said, “It seems that the young master is either rich or a noble. You are really knowledgeable…”
Li Qinglin said with a smile, “Madam’s taste is better than being the common women in my family. Why don’t you follow me back to the capital? I can guarantee madam endless wealth, which is better than this mountain villa. You don’t even have a decent hairpin.”
Madam sighed softly, “Li Fire City… But my fate is destined to be bad. I’m afraid I don’t have the chance to enjoy wealth. If you want to, you can stay with me for one night and leave some memories…”
Li Qinglin didn’t know that his sister and Qin Yi had overheard something valuable. From his point of view, he also got the answer he wanted.
The setting of such a desirous villa widow was not a filial woman. This kind of person couldn’t wait to get hooked on the rich people of the capital and enjoy a wealthy life. Even if she had a reason to reject, she would at least hesitate for a moment. However, she rejected it without thinking.
Either she coveted the villa that had something she wanted or she was afraid that her ulterior affairs would not be hidden from the “political trial” of the powerful family in the capital.
Even if the strange incident in the villa was not done by her, it must be related to her.
“Since that’s the case, of course I can’t bear to disobey Madam’s kindness.” Li Qinglin finally raised his head and drank the wine.
Seeing him drinking, Madam’s eyes showed a gleam of joy.
At this time, the taoist nun had already arrived outside this guest room. She was still standing on the opposite roof. Seeing this situation, the taoist nun shook her head secretly.
“Such a strong aura of death can’t be concealed with any amount of spices. This woman must be a beastkin or monster. Li Qinglin looked shrewd, but he still dared to drink the wine she handed over indiscriminately.”
She couldn’t see that Li Qinglin was testing, so she always felt that this person was done for. This was typical of giving up soul for the beauty.
“But this is really strange…” She looked at the tortoise shell in her hand, which was the divination she had started since she saw Li Qinglin, “The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is black and yellow. Why did Li Qinglin have this hexagram? Isn’t he already not going to the battlefield?”
In the room, Li Qinglin’s eyes became confused, showing a perverted expression, and stretched out his hand to wrap around the lady’s waist. The taoist nun sighed. She was not in the mood to deduce the fortune-telling anymore. No matter what the prince did, she couldn’t let this beastkin act wantonly.
Just as she was about to help, there was a sudden change in the house.
The madam, who in Li Qinglin’s embrace, stretched her delicate hand to untie his belt. When her hand touched the jade pendant around his waist, it suddenly emitted an intense colorful light. The light seemed to contain a terrifying burning force, which spread to her entire body through her hand.
“Ah!” Madam jumped up like being electrocuted and hugged her head in pain. She staggered bumped into the seat in the room, knocked the jug and wine cup on the floor, and wailed as she hugged her head.
This was the voice Qin Yi and the others heard.
“This jade pendant…” The taoist nun was stunned for a moment, and she stopped and watched as the event unfolded.
There was a commotion in the villa, the young master rushed over with a group of servants in a hurry. Qin Yi and Li Qingjun took advantage of the chaos to get rid of the rest of the servants and rushed directly into the room.
Li Qingjun almost vomited at the first sight when she entered the room.
The madam’s beautiful face had already begun to fester, and a layer of human skin had begun to fall off. Densely packed maggots emerged from her face. It was extremely disgusting.
The light on Li Qinglin’s body also began to subside under the watchful eyes of everyone.
A huge corpse insect slowly broke away from the human skin, rushed out of the window, and disappeared in an instant.
The young master and the group of servants were dumbfounded.
Thinking of the previous tenderness and thinking of how many times they had had sex with this beastkin, everyone present bent over and vomited almost at the same time.
Corpse insect beastkin, this was the true face of Mrs. Zhang. It was just covered with a delicate human skin.
“Corpse insect beastkin.” Liu Su said in Qin Yi’s sea of ??consciousness, “It is covered in a piece of human skin. It can’t even transform yet. It grows by draining people’s energy and vitality. So, this young master who has an intoxicated look actually has all his vitality drained.”
Hindsight… Qin Yi could also reach the same conclusion after seeing what happened in the mourning hall. The young master wanted to monopolize the beastkin, but luckily he didn’t. Otherwise, he would be drained to his grave. The previously so-called “missing” servants were probably killed and placed in the pit to make an array. The purpose is probably to use the array to gather spirits and completely transform into a human form, and then… she could ‘live with the young master’?
The reason why Li Qinglin is so attractive to her is also because she believed that draining Li Qinglin’s innate cultivation would help her transform, not because Li Qinglin was so handsome.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi suddenly felt a lot better…
He glanced at the young master. After he vomited, his expression turned daze.
“She is true to me…” He murmured, “She didn’t have to work so hard. She had been careful all these years. She only started to be anxious in the past few months…”
When Li Qingjun heard it, she was also dazed for a while, then she sighed.
Maybe it’s true.
“You must compensate me…you compensate…” The young master’s expression gradually became ferocious.
Li Qingjun shook her head and said, “You’re crazy. She is a beastkin. Everyone in the villa was killed by her.”
Qin Yi tugged at her sleeve, “He knows. The array under the lit, he even lied that those are his ancestors. The so-called harming people is just a collusion between him and the beastkin.”
Li Qingjun was startled, and she fell silent.
“Where is the beastkin? Did you see it?” The young master turned to look at the servants ferociously, “Who saw it?”
The servants took a step back timidly, “No… we didn’t see anything.”
The young master looked at Li Qinglin on the bed again. Li Qinglin seemed to be in a lost state at this time. His face was flushed and his eyes were dilated. He suddenly laughed and said fiercely, “You 3 murdered my stepmother, is there still the law in your eyes?”
Li Qingjun said unhappily, “Stepmother!? Such a big lump of insects…”
“No one saw any beastkin.” The young master sneered, “We only know that my stepmother died as soon as you came! If it weren’t you guys who murdered her, who else would it be?”
Li Qingjun didn’t argue. She just sighed, “Are you going to avenge her?”
Qin Yi added, “This insect-fucking warrior, are you sure you want to use force in the villa? I suggest you report to the government office.”
The young master looked at Li Qingjun’s spear with some fear in his eyes. Qin Yi’s words had reminded him. No matter whether he could fight or not, what’s the point of fighting a martial artist to death?
A beastkin was a beastkin after all. Even if she moved his heart, thinking of that disgusting corpse insect, all his anger was gone. Why would he fight desperately for her?
Why not settle this in private?
The young master’s heart moved. He said slowly, “If reporting to the government, you 3 suspects of murdering my stepmother will be in huge trouble right? I have some connections with the county. Even if you are outsiders with a powerful background, you may not be able to run rampant here.”
Qin Yi said, “Don’t worry about it. I still trust the government.”
Li Qingjun couldn’t help but laugh.
The young master didn’t know their identity. Seeing their stubbornness, he pointed to Li Qinglin on the bed and said, “Your brother is poisoned by my stepmother’s unique drug, and I have the antidote.”
“Oh?” Qin Yi smiled, “What do you want from us?”
“Just leave the jade pendant, then we will give you the antidote, and I will treat it as nothing had happened.”
Now that the incident was revealed, he could only get whatever he could.
Thinking of the miraculous jade pendant he witnessed just now, it obviously had the effect of repelling the beastkin. Just as the young master calmed down and gave up the vengeance, he immediately became greedy, wanting to seize the jade pendant for himself.
Liu Su whispered to Qin Yi, “This jade may really be an enchanted talisman. I’m also a little interested…”
Qin Yi silently shook his head.
Li Qingjun over there was so angry that she cursed at the young master, “You’re worse than that beastkin. Although she had harmed many people, she still had a little sincerity toward you. But to you, she is less than a piece of jade.”
If he really wanted to take revenge, Li Qingjun might even praise him, but now she was furious.
The taoist nun on the roof outside also sighed. Under her feet, a corpse insect was turned into 2 pieces. It was corpse insect beastkin that had fled. She couldn’t even dodge 1 sword strike from the taoist nun. She looked down at the beastkin corpse and murmured, “Why?”
There was also a sudden sigh from the bed. Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that Li Qinglin, who was supposed to be in a daze, was sitting upright quietly with clear eyes. He didn’t look being poisoned at all.
He smiled at Qin Yi, “Brother Qin, I have already said that sometimes people are more troublesome than beastkin.”
TL: Who is that taoist nun though? A bodyguard sent to protect the brother and sister?
