Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 12 My Little Lover, Why Are You So Cruel?

A plaintive female voice sounded in Lin Jiang's ear.

Turning around abruptly, Lin Jiang saw a figure in red.

That was Hong Dandan's new wedding dress, which was covered in dust and looked rather dirty.

The woman, who wasn't particularly slender, stood behind Lin Jiang in her wedding attire, a red veil on her head, and embroidered shoes.

Lin Jiang has seen this outfit before.

It looks very familiar.

Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Shen family?
So, after you came back from the dead, you didn't go home but came looking for me instead?

Before Lin Jiang could speak, the bride in front of him began to sing again:
"My dearest love, why have you abandoned me? Why have you left me all alone in that mass grave? If you don't want me anymore, how can I marry someone else?"

If you disregard the obvious resentful tone in her voice, Lin Jiang thought she sang quite well.

After much thought, Lin Jiang felt it wouldn't be right to be rough with a young woman, so he decided to try persuasion first.

“Miss Shen, our two families are indeed not very suitable, and an arranged marriage by parents is also not a good thing.”

"What's wrong with that? It's the parents' word and the matchmaker's arrangement; it's just right."

As Miss Shen spoke, she lifted a corner of her veil with her hand. Her already charming face was now deathly pale, which made her look even more eerie and frightening than beautiful.

"Am I not pretty enough? Am I unworthy of your face?"

"I absolutely did not mean that."

Miss Shen was indeed beautiful, with a hint of allure in her eyes. She could easily be mistaken for the female ghost that scholars in Liaozhai often encountered.

"But humans and ghosts are on different paths."

Lin Jiang said very seriously.

Miss Shen: "..."

Miss Shen even stopped singing, still holding up half of her veil, and earnestly began to reason with Lin Jiang:
"Young Master Lin, which of us came back to life first?"

"it's me."

"Look, you're a zombie, and so am I. We're a match made in heaven! Why don't we get together and live happily ever after?"

“That’s not right.” Lin Jiang shook his head: “Miss Shen, I have a heartbeat, so I can’t be considered a zombie. At most, I can only be said to be in a state of suspended animation. But Miss Shen, you… it seems that you are really dead.”

As he spoke, Lin Jiang extended his hand, inviting Miss Shen to take his pulse.

Miss Shen hesitated for a moment, then placed two fingers on Lin Jiang's wrist, her face immediately turning even uglier.

It used to look like it had just died, but now it looks like it has been dead for several days.

"There's a pulse, there's a pulse... It really is true that humans and ghosts are on different paths, humans and ghosts are on different paths..."

As he spoke, tears of blood welled up in his eyes and streamed down his cheeks.
Lin Jiang could clearly sense that a strong sense of resentment was emanating from Miss Shen. This intangible thing was now emanating from her body as if it were a tangible substance.

To prevent Miss Shen from suddenly having some kind of fit, Lin Jiang continued to comfort her:

“Miss Shen, you can’t force things. You’ve finally managed to open your eyes to see the world again, so why are you so fixated on an outsider like me? Why don’t you go home and visit your grandfather? He misses you terribly.”

"I'm not going home! I absolutely will not go home!"

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's words, Miss Shen suddenly became furious, and a gust of cold wind rose from the ground, even blowing off her veil.

"I won't go home, I absolutely won't go home, I'm going to marry you!"
"Since you're alive, I'll strangle you and let you rise from the dead again!"

With her arms outstretched, accompanied by tears of blood, she made a move to strangle Lin Jiang, seemingly wanting to kill him!

Lin Jiang sighed deeply.

I didn't mean to hit anyone.

"bump!"

Lin Jiang straightened his fist, and Miss Shen flew backwards.

She rolled several times on the ground before slamming onto the wall of the Lin family compound with a thud, just like the black-clad man Lin Jiang had killed with a single punch.

Lin Jiang aimed his punch at the head, without holding back much force. On an ordinary person, one punch would have been enough to kill them, but Miss Shen, who had come back to life, was clearly no ordinary person. She got up from the ground somewhat disheveled, and behind the flower cover covering her face, there was a clear fist mark on her head.

It's all dented.

Miss Shen touched her face, then looked at Lin Jiang not far away through her veil, and burst into tears.

"I know, I know, you must think I'm dirty, that's why you don't want to be with me."

"But I didn't want to get dirty. If it weren't for my beastly brother, how could I have gotten dirty?"

Lin Jiang, who was swinging his arm, intending to deliver the final blow to Miss Shen, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

what?
When Lin Jiang came to his senses, he noticed that the spot where Miss Shen was sitting cross-legged had been filled with blood and tears, forming a small pool of blood.

The scene within the blood pool that my gaze fell upon was constantly changing.

You will see a girl in the blood-red shadow. The girl is very beautiful, with the same face as Miss Shen. She lives in a large mansion and embroiders alone every day. The sun and moon constantly change in the sky, and the people around her pass by quickly like shadows, without stopping.

The servants in the mansion ignored her, her father paid her little attention, and even her brother, who looked just like Shen Da, didn't pay her much attention.

The girl just kept showing off, embroidering a red veil for herself with red cloth, resting her arms on the stone table, and smiling foolishly at the red veil.

However, at this moment, the scene within the blood also quietly changed.

One day, the older brother, who looked exactly like Shen Da, returned to the courtyard drunk from outside.

It was already quite late, and the girl wasn't in the courtyard. She had gone back to her room, and the door was tightly shut.

The older brother came to the side of the room and started knocking on the door.

After knocking for a while and receiving no response, he started banging on the door.

The door wasn't sturdy; it opened after only two bumps.

Shen's older brother, who looked exactly like him, entered the room.

The moon circled the sky once before falling from the other side of the sky.

Only then did the older brother come out.

Then things got really chaotic in the yard.

The old man, who looked just like the old man from the Shen family, was beating his brother violently, while the girl sat standing there dumbfounded.

But family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, so the matter was simply suppressed.

Since that incident, the old man's attitude towards the girl has improved a lot. If he used to just casually deal with things, now he really listens to her seriously.

Unfortunately……

Since then, the brother would still often enter the girl's room and stay for an entire night.

The sun and moon within his blood changed constantly, until Lin Jiang lost count of how many times they had transformed.

at last,

One day, when the older brother entered that room again, he fled out as if in a panic.

Inside the room, the girl lay on the bed, her eyes wide open in disbelief.

The image in the blood flashed for only a moment before disappearing.

The sobbing continued, and Lin Jiang saw a faint glow shimmering in the girl's throat, as if something was stuck there.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, and a gagging sound came from under her veil. When she opened her mouth again, she vomited out a small bead with a "whoosh".

It's made of wood, with a hollowed-out center, and looks like a Buddhist rosary.

As she vomited it out, a pungent, foul odor and a fishy smell suddenly filled the courtyard.

Lin Jiang subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his hand, and then a "Hey!" came from behind him. Gong Xuan's figure landed next to Lin Jiang in a flash.

He was still clutching the talisman he had used to beat Lin Jiang, staring glaring at the bride before him:
"What a huge amount of resentment!"

After staring intently for a while, he gasped in shock:

"Isn't this the girl from the Shen family? Why is she so resentful? What did the Shen family do?"

"Can you handle it?"

"Yes!" Gong Xuan was quite confident, after all, the talisman in his hand was specially used to strike corpses. He said that even a thousand-year-old corpse would sizzle and smoke after being hit by this wronged corpse.

Thinking about how his talisman had left Lin Jiang completely unharmed the last time it was used, his tone became somewhat hesitant:
"It should work."

"Let's subdue her first," Lin Jiang said. "There are some things I still want to ask her, but I'm afraid I'll end up beating her to death."

Gong Xuan nodded and found a hemp rope in the courtyard. He held it in his hand for a couple of seconds, and finding it sturdy enough, he tied a strange little knot on it.

He blew on the rope and threw it towards Miss Shen.

The rope, like a snake, circled once and then struck directly at Miss Shen.

Miss Shen, who was still crying, was startled when she saw the rope flying towards her, and recited aloud:
"Young man, how cruel you are!"

He got up and was about to run outside.

But the rope seemed to come alive, darting back and forth with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it had climbed up Miss Shen's body.

"Snapped!"

Miss Shen was tied to the ground and unable to move.

Lin Jiang's eyes lit up slightly as he watched this scene.

Is this magic?
