Following the sound, I secretly inquired who was playing the pipa; the music stopped, and they hesitated to speak…

They moved their boats closer to meet, added wine, relit the lamps, and resumed the feast…

She finally appeared after much anticipation, still half-concealing her face like a pipa player playing a game of musical instrument...

A few plucks of the strings, and before the melody even begins, the emotion is already there…

The strings, muted and restrained, seemed to lament a life of unfulfilled ambitions…

With lowered brows and nimble fingers, she continued to play the zither, pouring out the boundless thoughts in her heart…

She set Bai Juyi's "Pipa Ballad" to a southern tune, making it sound plaintive and poignant, with a unique flavor.

In addition, her original voice was very pleasant to listen to, which was a pleasure to listen to.

If Teacher Xiaotian could teach like this, most people would definitely be able to recite classical Chinese texts.

After Hua Nujiao finished playing this piece, tears streamed down her face.

Lin Xuan was also crying with her.

Lin Xuan seemed to empathize with her, as if she had heard the story beyond Xiao Qu.

Hua Nujiao put down her pipa, reached out her hand, and her fair, long-sleeved hand was about to touch Lin Xuan when it was stopped by the great demon Xueqiu.

Lin Mo also cautiously pulled Lin Xuan behind him.

What do you want to do?

"I think... I think... I've finally met someone who understands me. I want to use her body... to keep waiting."

After Hua Nujiao finished speaking, her long black hair, which was coiled on her head, cascaded down, as if it had come alive, spreading and growing outwards.

The main target of these black-stockinged women was Lin Xuan, but they didn't seem to intend to let the others off the hook either.

Originally, the great demon Snowball was not planning to make a move, but he had promised Lin Mo to protect Lin Xuan. This ghost's initial target was Lin Xuan, which proves that Snowball's death was not accidental.

The great demon Snowball instantly transformed into a giant nine-tailed fox.

It was pure white except for red totem patterns on its forehead, and its crimson eyes were filled with endless majesty.

The monster unleashed its full power, and an invisible force exploded, directly repelling the terrifying black silk that was rushing towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan looked at Snowball in surprise: "Snowball, I never thought you could evolve!"

Because Lin Xuan initially thought it was a dream, she wasn't afraid of the snowball's transformation; on the contrary, she became extremely excited.

The nine-tailed fox glanced at the somewhat dim-witted Lin Xuan, then her gaze fell on Lin Mo.

If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault.

Lin Mo suddenly felt a little guilty. Lin Xuan had been taught to be so stupid; she was hopeless.

Lin Mo picked up Ye Zimo with one hand, dodging the black stockings that were coming at him.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah."

Xiaoju rushed towards Hua Nujiao and threw a punch that went straight through her body.

Ghosts are not something anyone can come into contact with.

Xiaoju was stunned for a moment, then Hua Nujiao's face turned ferocious. She reached out and grabbed Xiaoju's neck, and Xiaoju instantly felt unable to breathe.

She couldn't reach the ghost, yet the ghost could accurately attack her vital points. It was over; this was the first time Xiaoju had been in such a passive situation.

Lin Mo placed Ye Zimo next to Lin Xuan, then leaped off the ground, almost appearing in front of Hua Nujiao in a flash, and grabbed Hua Nujiao's hand.

Lin Mo, who possesses wizard blood, is born with the ability to contact supernatural beings, which is why he is different from Xiao Ju.

Although he had never seen a ghost before, he still felt a chill run down his spine when he touched it for the first time.

Fortunately, I am now a superhero! I possess immense power, enough to crush even an elephant.

Lin Mo exerted force with his arm, and Hua Nujiao let out a piercing scream, shrinking back completely.

Xiaoju fell to the ground, her face flushed.

"Thanks…"

Hua Nujiao's black hair extended outwards again, like a sharp blade that could cut through anything hard in this world.

The black silk, resembling tentacles with eyes, wrapped around Lin Mo's body, pulling him apart in a spread-eagle position, as if to tear him apart.

Chapter 55 The Agreement

"Brother, Snowball, save my brother!"

Lin Xuan shouted, but the nine-tailed fox arrogantly raised its head and ignored her.

My only goal is to protect you. As for me being everyone's babysitter, no way.

Ye Zimo remained unusually calm throughout. If it were the old Ye Zimo, this ghost wouldn't have been able to withstand a single move from her. Even if Lin Mo couldn't unleash a tenth of his power, he wouldn't have been eaten.

Lin Mo controlled the power within his body and broke the black silk binding his hands and feet.

The black silk wrapped around him again, turning him into a mummy, only in black.

Lin Mo felt like this hair was never going to stop.

The black stockings slid along Lin Mo's facial features, about to slip inside.

Lin Mo knew that if he didn't attack the main body, no matter how many times he dodged the blackness, he would eventually exhaust his strength and die.

Ignoring the hair, he flashed and appeared behind Hua Nujiao, his black stockings still on.

Hua Nujiao winced in pain as she felt an incredibly terrifying power surging out from Lin Mo's body.

This is not the power of a wizard, but originates from vampires.

The strands of hair surged into Lin Mo's body, enraging the vampire's sacred artifact.

In an instant, Hua Nujiao's body went out of control, and she felt the power within her body gradually draining away.

As soon as Lin Mo came into contact with Hua Nujiao, he felt a cool power surge into his body.

"No, no, no—"

Hua Nujiao let out a shrill scream, her whole body shrinking back in terror.

The space began to shatter, and everything around it broke into pieces of glass that shimmered with starlight, like a mirror.

Each pane of glass contains a fragment of a memory about Hua Nujiao.

The chill seeped into Lin Mo's body, and it seemed as if a consciousness had instantly invaded his brain.

I was originally the top courtesan in a brothel, playing the pipa on the pleasure boats, and I made a lot of money through my prostitution skills.

By chance, my boat docked at the shore and I encountered a girl being pressured by debt collectors.

She had a pair of clear eyes, as if they had never been polluted by the world. In that instant, I seemed to see the purest thing in the world.

From the conversation among the people on the shore, I learned that it wasn't her who owed the debt, but her father. He owed someone gambling debts and wanted to use his daughter to pay off the debt, so he wanted to marry her off to the creditor as a concubine.

The girl refused, crying and begging, but no one paid any attention.

This kind of drama was played out almost every day in the old society.

I'm used to it. Some of my sisters were sent here to pay off debts.

But seeing her clear eyes, I still felt I could help. I pulled back the curtain of the flower boat and tossed out a money pouch.

"Is this enough money? I'll pay off her debts for her."

For a long time afterward, I didn't see that girl again.

A few months later, I was pursued by a wealthy businessman, and the whole city knew about it.

I grew tired of drifting on the pleasure boat and thought that I would eventually get married, so what difference would it make who I married? So I married this merchant and became his fifth concubine.

On our wedding night, I saw those clear eyes again.

She was eventually sold, but to a wealthy merchant as a maid, not to a creditor as a concubine.

I felt we were destined to meet, so I asked her, "What's your name?"

"Chu Fei".

She revealed her name, a name that seemed somewhat out of place with her background. Logically, poor families wouldn't give such a name. She explained that a schoolteacher passed through the village the year she was born, and the teacher gave her the name.

Her face turned bright red as she explained, and she looked very cute.

She stayed by the door all night, listening to the sounds of me and the wealthy businessman making love inside the room.

After that, Chu Fei stayed by my side.

The first wife always makes things difficult for me, saying that I am a prostitute from a pleasure boat, unclean, and unworthy of entering the Duan family. She even tried to hit me.

Chu Fei stood in front and took a slap from the First Madam, her left cheek swelling up.

She couldn't speak, but because I was her benefactor, she felt she should protect me.

As I applied the medicine to Chu Fei, I asked her, "Why are you so foolish?"

"You are my benefactor."

Chu Fei said.

She made me laugh.

“If it weren’t for me, you might be a concubine in a wealthy family, not a maid. You should hate me.”

"No, I think I'm fine now."

Chu Fei was always very shy when she talked to me, as innocent and unripe as a freshly picked orange.

I have long, jet-black hair. Chu Fei is always extra careful when she combs my hair, meticulously creating the most beautiful updo. I love the way she combs my hair, and I also love her clear eyes.

The wealthy businessman would always send me to the homes of various officials, and then pick me up the next day.

I understand that I am nothing more than a pawn in the hands of a wealthy businessman, a pawn used to negotiate business deals. It's not much different from when I was on the pleasure boat, except that I've now become a domesticated pawn.

Chu Fei would always stay by my side, then secretly hide away and cry, as if she were shedding all my tears for me.

Until one day, Chu Fei said to me, "Let's leave here?"
