The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 112
He was talking about what Mo Ran did on the first day of his rebirth when he was full of resentment.
Now that he thought about it, even though Rong Jiu did let him down in his previous life and worked with Childe Chang to kill him, that was in his previous life. In this life, Rong Jiu and Childe Chang did not do that, so Mo Ran could not explain why he took his money.
“It’s my fault.” Under such circumstances, Mo Ran did not want to argue with him, so he said, “I’ll return what I took from you in the future.”
“How are you going to return it to me?” Rong Jiu asked, “Besides, what use do I have for those gold, silver and jewels?”
Mo Ran, “…”
“Those pearl bracelets, you can return them to me, but what about my life?”
“What?” Mo Ran was stunned, “Your life?”
“Yes, my life.” Rong Jiu seemed to have touched a pain in his heart, and his expression gradually darkened.
“Do you know how I died?”
“…”
He had been suppressing it for a long time, and now that he suddenly opened the lid, the steaming steam came out crazily, and he could no longer hold it in. Before Mo Ran could say anything, he continued to speak sorrowfully, and his expression suddenly became angry, and then gradually twisted.
“That Chang guy was evil, he saw that you no longer liked me, so he thought that I was not worth much, so he lied to me and said that he was sincere to me, but his family disliked me because I was a member of the restaurant, and was not clean, so it was better to stay away from me in the future. I was blind at that time, and thought that he was deeply in love with me, and that he was forced by his parents to make this decision … Bah! I believed his nonsense! ”
Mo Ran said, “Then you should blame that Chang guy, not me.”
Rong Jiu was slightly angry, “How can I not blame you? The money I saved was enough to redeem myself, but it was taken away by you. I was disheartened at that time, and did not want to continue to stay in the restaurant, but without money, I could not leave openly, so I had to sneak out. If you did not take my money, I would not be in such a mess! ”
“… You escaped?”
“Yes, I ran away. I ran to his house,” Rong Jiu said bitterly, “But that Chang guy wouldn’t open the door for me, and the people in the restaurant chased after me. In the end, my struggle was useless, and I was brought back by them. After a round of torture, I was locked up again. ”
Mo Ran muttered, “But the one surnamed Chang said that when you went to Colorful Butterfly Town to visit your relatives, you encountered a leak in the Ghost Realm and lost your life.”
“Ha!” Rong Jiu’s Yin and Yang indiscernible face wrinkled with a trace of ridicule. “He really has the face to say that. Relatives? I don’t have any relatives in Colorful Butterfly Town! ”
“…”
“Didn’t you tell me that we were living under a knife? Let me show you what it means to live under the tip of a knife! ” Rong Jiu was getting more and more agitated. His features were twisted, and he really did look like a ghost now. “I will tell you how I will die! You benefactors! Haha! Benefactor! ”
“I stayed in the restaurant for so long. I was locked up, had no food, and suffered. No one cares if I live or die. After many days, I was about to lose all hope. The one surnamed Chang suddenly came back. He cried and told me that the reason why he didn’t open the door for me that day was because his parents were throwing a tantrum. He was afraid that once I entered, I would be beaten to death by his servants! ”
Mo Ran shook his head at such a blatant lie. “You won’t believe it.”
“No.” Rong Jiu’s eyes were shining and trembling. “I believe it.”
Mo Ran, “…”
“I believe it.” Rong Jiu was filled with resentment. He put on a smile, and the corners of his mouth twisted. “Why wouldn’t I believe it? Whether I believe it or not can only be discussed with people who have a way out. What am I? I’m just a prostitute. I believe whatever others throw at me. Otherwise, I won’t even have a chance of survival. ”
He paused for a moment, then continued.
“The one surnamed Chang told me that he would fulfill his promise and take me into his house. But he said that his parents can’t accept me now, and asked me to stay with him in a small town nearby. ”
“Colorful Butterfly Town?”
“Yes. Colorful Butterfly Town. ”
Mo Ran had vaguely guessed what had happened, and his expression darkened.
As expected, Rong Jiu said, “I happily packed my things. Oh, right, there was nothing to pack. The money I earned from selling my blood and flesh all these years was stolen by you in a moment of happiness. But it didn’t matter. At that time, I thought, I have Young Master Chang. ”
“… Heh.” He was silent for a moment, then smiled like a twitch. He chewed on the two words between his lips and teeth. “Young Master Chang.”
“After he tricked you into going to Colorful Butterfly Town, did he kill you there?”
“… No.” Rong Jiu laughed, and his eyes were full of resentment. “He didn’t kill me. It was you who blocked my path one by one. That’s why I boarded the pirate ship with him. It’s you, it’s you who killed me. ”
Rong Jiu took a deep breath and continued, “After we arrived at Colorful Butterfly Town, I followed Young Master Chang into a big house. But it was cold inside, and there were no servants. He told me that he didn’t have time to do anything, and asked me to rest in the house first while he went out to buy some things. I stayed there and waited. After a while, I saw him walking into the courtyard with a man — ”
When Mo Ran heard this, his expression suddenly changed. “Did you see the man’s face clearly?”
“No.” Rong Jiu said, “The man was wearing a mask and a cloak. I couldn’t see anything. … Then I saw Young Master Chang kneel in front of the man, and his smile was even more flattering than when I was receiving guests. He really should look at himself at that time. It was so disgusting. He told the man that there was some remnant of the essence of the Wood Spirit in my body, and that I had been intimate with you before — I was a good sacrifice. Who knows, I don’t cultivate, and I don’t want to cultivate, so I didn’t understand what they were saying. ”
Mo Ran, however, felt his scalp go numb.
He knew that he had been intimate with Rong Jiu before, so there would be some essence of the Wood Spirit in Rong Jiu’s body. The fake North Pole had been looking for a suitable substitute. Although the Spirit Qi in Rong Jiu’s body was very little, it was pure and was suitable for casting spells.
“There’s nothing much to say about what happened after that.” Rong Jiu’s frivolous face showed a rare trace of coldness. “As Young Master Mo can see, I’m dead.”
If it was the Mo Ran from his previous life, or the Mo Ran who had just been reborn, he would definitely scoff and mock, “So what if you’re dead? What does it have to do with me?”
However, Mo Ran couldn’t laugh at this moment.
He hated Rong Jiu, and Rong Jiu was indeed unscrupulous. He even wanted to kill him in his previous life. However, although he had sex with Rong Jiu before, he had never been honest with him. When he suddenly heard Rong Jiu’s confession in the netherworld, Mo Ran had mixed feelings.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was too complicated, so he might as well just let it go.
He sighed and said, “Rong Jiu, I’m sorry about this.”
Rong Jiu had never been sorry to anyone in his life. Suddenly, he was stunned, as if he didn’t recognize Mo Ran at all. He looked at him with wide eyes and said, “Even if you say so, I won’t tell you where the person in the portrait is.”
Mo Ran said, “It has nothing to do with the portrait.”
Rong Jiu lowered his head, paused for a while, and suddenly said, “Young Master Mo, did you know that Young Master Chang and I were planning to kill you and take your cultivation?”
“I know.”
“You … you know?”
Mo Ran nodded. “I know.”
Rong Jiu was stunned for a while, and said bitterly, “It must be that Young Master Chang who leaked the information!”
He looked up, and his eyes flashed with hatred. “If I knew it would end up like this, I would’ve listened to him and killed you. At least I would’ve had some good days, and I wouldn’t have died so miserably. ”
Mo Ran looked at him. “You do what others tell you to do?”
“So what?” Rong Jiu said, “I just want to have a good life. For example, is it wrong for me to sell my body? It’s just like how other people sell fish and meat to earn a living. I know you young masters look down on me, but it’s okay if you look down on me. What’s the use of pride and face? It’s not as good as a sip of good wine and a piece of roasted meat. So if I could’ve survived by killing you, why didn’t I do it to you? ”
Mo Ran’s lips moved slightly, and he wanted to refute, but he suddenly remembered what he did in his previous life, and couldn’t say anything to deny it.
Rong Jiu said angrily, “People kill animals to live, why can’t they kill people to live?”
Mo Ran sighed, and murmured, “Is it meaningful to live like this?”
It was like asking Rong Jiu.
At the same time, it was as if he was asking his past self, who was sitting on a high seat in his previous life.
“I don’t know. I don’t know what is meaningful. ” Rong Jiu said indifferently, “I was sold to the restaurant when I was 16 years old, and my first customer was an old Taoist priest in his fifties. You ask me what is meaningful? I don’t know. When I was alive, I wanted to have money, so that I could redeem myself, so that I wouldn’t have to smile and wait on others. But I didn’t have freedom until I died, and it’s all because of you bastards. ”
Mo Ran didn’t speak, and after a long time, he asked him, “I’ll give you one more chance, will you choose to team up with Chang and kill me?”
“Yes.”
Mo Ran said, “Well, give me one more chance, and I’ll still come back, take all your money, and make you suffer.”
“You — —!”
Rong Jiu was angry, and the thin red color on his face seemed to be brighter. His body swayed for a while, and then slowly stabilized.
After a while, he knew that he had lost his composure, so he raised his hand and twirled the hair on his forehead. He restrained himself, and put on his usual gentle smile, but there was still anger in his eyes.
“Say what you want. I, Rong Jiu, have my way of living. ”
“I hope you can live freely in the ghost world.”
Rong Jiu narrowed his eyes, “Of course it will be very free. As long as I lie on the bed, I can exchange for reincarnation and no longer have to suffer, I can see it clearer than those fools in the house, and I’m very willing. ”
Mo Ran smiled, and said, “But Rong Jiu, these people are the subordinates of the four ghost kings, whether you live or die, leave or stay, in fact, it all depends on one sentence from above.”
Rong Jiu was shocked, and immediately became alert, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at him.
“What do you mean?”
If it wasn’t for this situation, Mo Ran really didn’t want to argue with him like this, but although Rong Jiu was weak, he was stubborn when he hated, so he had to calm down and said to him, “You think that the person in the portrait is just so, but I think he’s very good. Everyone has different views, and no one can say whether the ghost kings will like him. ”
“With such a cold appearance, who would like him?”
“That’s not necessarily true.” Mo Ran said, “If the ghost kings like soft people, why didn’t they choose you at that time?”
“…” Rong Jiu didn’t say anything, but his expression was a little ugly.
Mo Ran struck while the iron was hot, “He has a strong temperament, if he is chosen, I’m afraid he will turn the ghost world upside down. When the time comes, the four ghost kings will not be able to escape the blame, and killing a few ghost soldiers will be a matter of course. If you want to be a silk rod, you have to establish a stable foundation. If the tree falls after a few days of entanglement, it’s a small matter if you don’t have someone to rely on, but if the vines and vines are uprooted, then your soul will be destroyed. ”
Rong Jiu’s originally pale face seemed to become even paler.
But he still said flirtatiously and viciously, “I don’t believe in this.”
Mo Ran, “…”
“Young Master Mo, I’ll bet, I just can’t stand seeing you live better than me.”
After a few moments of silence, Mo Ran suddenly became ruthless, he stared at Rong Jiu’s face, “I won’t bet with you. Rong Jiu, I must save this person, if you insist on playing like this, I’ll bet my life with you. ”
Rong Jiu looked up, his eyes burning, and suddenly put his hand on Mo Ran’s chest like a snake, “Who is he to you? How long has he been with you? Is it as long as me? Is he as good as me in bed? Do you play more tricks, or do you call me better? ” He paused, his eyelashes drooping, “Young Master Mo, you’re not the kind of person who would risk your life for others, you have no feelings in your heart, you can’t hide it from me.”
Before he finished, his cheek was pinched by Mo Ran.
Mo Ran pulled him away, his dark eyebrows were vertical, and his eyes were dancing with flames, “I didn’t have a heart before, but now I do.”
Rong Jiu looked up and met his face, he suddenly found that this person was burning, and even a little unfamiliar.
The person seemed to be the laughing and scolding Mo Weiyu, but the soul seemed to be different somewhere.
He seemed to be burned by this Mo Ran, he couldn’t help but shiver, he wanted to turn and run, but he was firmly held by the other.
“Also.” Mo Ran said, “Me and him … from now on, are pure, I respect and love him, there is no delusion. Don’t humiliate him. ”
As he said, he pushed Rong Jiu. Rong Jiu hit the pillar, he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. He didn’t even think carefully about what kind of weird expression “from now on, are pure” was. If he was in a clear state of mind, he would be able to figure out the subtleties.
From now on, it meant that there was an ambiguous relationship, there was love and lust.
But Rong Jiu didn’t understand.
“He’s not yours … not yours …”
Mo Ran said, “No, he’s my Shizun.”
Rong Jiu did not say anything. But a person like him could always smell the subtle camaraderie between the lines. That kind of camaraderie that Mo Ran himself might not have noticed, but Rong Jiu could.
He was almost sure that Mo Ran loved the person in the portrait, this thought made him, who couldn’t get any love at all, he couldn’t help but feel bitter jealousy.
Even the most romantic Young Master Mo, would go through mountains of swords and seas of fire for a person, risking his life to save her.
He suddenly thought, if he was more sincere to Young Master Mo in the beginning, and gave his true heart, then would Mo Ran … also reveal some pure true feelings for him?
But before he finished thinking, he heard Mo Ran speak again, his voice was cold and ruthless, it didn’t sound like he was joking, “Rong Jiu, I’ll ask one last time where he is, if you still don’t know. I’m a cultivator, I know how to use drugs or cast spells to bewitch a person’s mind. Believe it or not, I’ll go see the Ghost King myself. ”
This time Rong Jiu was completely stunned, “You …”
“I’ve done evil all my life, now I want to live a good life. But if no one helps me, I’ll still be that Mo Weiyu, “he said softly,” Rong Jiu, think carefully, I’m not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of my soul being scattered. If you want to be so ruthless, I can do anything. ”
The two of them didn’t speak anymore.
But when their gazes met, the resolute met with the resentful. The persistent met with the unwilling. The hot met with the cold.
And then the ice in Rong Jiu’s eyes melted, he was almost defeated under Mo Ran’s burning gaze. His jealousy was deep, Mo Ran’s obsession was not shallow, when the two of them confronted each other, he was no match for the Emperor Ta.
Rong Jiu’s face was ashen, even the delicate rouge flowers couldn’t cover his withered face, like a broken wall.
“Why, do you do this for him?”
“He treated me the best, but I bullied him as if he was the person I hated the most. I owe him. ”
“… …”
“I really haven’t seen this person before.” After a while, Rong Jiu said softly, but when he saw Mo Ran’s expression, he slowly added, “I’m not lying to you. But, the newly caught ghosts are all locked in the biggest hall in the east. Each person was given a small and narrow room, which was no different from a cage. It was locked. There are martial law guards patrolling back and forth. You should be able to find them if you go there. ”
Mo Ran couldn’t wait any longer, he turned around and ran into the night. Rong Jiu stood in the same place and watched, he didn’t know what kind of bitter emotions welled up in his heart, he suddenly couldn’t help but shout at Mo Ran’s back, “Mo Weiyu, you — you want to live a good life? Who can live a good life! We’ve all been soaked in mud! No one can live a good life again! ”
“Mo Weiyu! You see, I, Rong Jiu, want to live a good life, it’s better to live a bad life than to die a good death, I sold my body, sold my body, sold my soul, I want to wear gold and silver! You see! You think you’re dirty to the bone, you can wipe away the smell by wiping the corner of your mouth? You think too much! You follow your conscience, I’ll be my prostitute, let’s see who can live a good life! Mo Weiyu! ”
He shouted until Mo Ran’s back was out of sight, then he suddenly raised his hand, covered his face, squatted down and choked.
“Why can you start over, why can such a bad person like you be treated well … why …”
