The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 118

There was a shadow of Mo Ran.

He … wasn’t a dead person?

Many details flashed through Rong Jiu’s mind. If Rong Jiu still had a body of flesh and blood, he would have been shocked by the truth, and then his blood would rush to his head and cause his mind to be in a mess.

Rong Jiu stood there stiffly for a while. A person’s reaction to big events was often closely related to his daily environment. For example, some people were usually like birds startled by the twang of a bow, and would easily be scared out of their wits in the face of unexpected events. Another example was Xue Meng, who was a proud son of God, who was always calm and unruffled, and ordinary things would not scare him at all.

For someone like Rong Jiu who had lived in the mud all his life, the first thing he would think of when faced with such a big matter was whether it would harm him. If it didn’t, then how could he gain some benefits from it?

He quickly realized that Mo Ran was a living person who had mixed in with the ghost world, and this was very beneficial to him.

He only needed to reveal Mo Ran’s identity, and it would be a great achievement, and he would definitely be able to get an official position in the underworld. At that time, he would be able to hold his head high and be in high spirits. So what if he used his beauty to please others in life? As long as he grasped the opportunity, he would still be able to climb up the ranks after death, and this life of a man would not be in vain.

This was really a meat pie that fell from the sky.

Why would he need to go to reincarnation? He could immediately live the most comfortable life, completely turn the tables, wash away his shame, and start all over again.

Rong Jiu squinted his peach-blossom-shaped eyes. He could almost see himself being conferred a title of nobility. Just like those officials in the ghost world, he sat in the bamboo palanquin with green gauze draped over his shoulders. He was calm and composed, passing through the demons and monsters calmly.

The more Rong Jiu thought about it, the more gratified he was. But on second thought, he was born weak and powerless, and it was almost impossible for him to slip under Mo Ran’s nose and tell on him. He needed to find a way to keep Mo Ran busy … …

His mind moved, and his eyes fell on Chu Wanning, who was wearing a golden red auspicious robe.

“Chu Xian Jun.”

Rong Jiu sat down next to Chu Wanning, holding his chin and greeting people.

Chu Wanning, on the other hand, only cared about probing the enchantment. He didn’t say a word. His eyes were closed coldly, and his eyelashes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

“You haven’t found anything yet?” Rong Jiu tried to ask.

After waiting for a while, he saw that Chu Wanning was still ignoring him, but he didn’t chase him away. Rong Jiu just sat there and talked for a while. Then he said softly, “Chu Xianjun, actually, I didn’t tell you the truth just now. I was afraid that you would look down on me and not pity me, and leave me there alone.”

Chu Wanning’s dark brows were tightly knitted together. Although he didn’t say anything, there was a fire burning between his brows. However, he was still restraining himself, restraining himself, not intending to vent.

But how could this fire escape Rong Jiu’s eyes?

Rong Jiu said softly and weakly, “I thought about it carefully when I was outside, and I felt that I shouldn’t have lied to you. I feel very apologetic, so I came here to apologize to Immortal Monarch … ”

His opening was really coincidental. Just like Mo Ran, he wanted to “apologize”.

Chu Wanning wasn’t that disgusted at first, but when he heard Rong Jiu’s words, he finally opened his eyes gloomily. But he didn’t look at Rong Jiu. He asked coldly, “Which restaurant did you work in when you were alive?”

Rong Jiu was stunned, “You … know?”

He subconsciously glanced in Mo Ran’s direction and thought to himself, ‘This isn’t good. That guy surnamed Mo actually didn’t plan to hide it from Chu Wan-ning and actually confessed first. If I add more fuel to the fire now, will it still burn?’

“Me and Mo Xianjun …”

Before he finished, he was interrupted by Chu Wanning, “Let me ask you, which restaurant did you work in when you were alive?”

Rong Jiu bit his lip, “Black Bamboo Town’s Peach of Immortality House.”

“En, Peach of Immortality House,” Chu Wanning repeated and sneered. He fell silent again, his face pale.

Rong Jiu stole a few glances at him, pursed his lips, and asked tentatively, “Chu Xianjun, you’re not looking down on me, right?”

Chu Wanning, “…”

“I had a hard life, and my body was weak. I was sold to restaurants when I was young. If I had a choice, I would want to be like Immortal, valiant and heroic, slaying demons.” As Rong Jiu spoke, he sighed and muttered melancholically, “If only I could become like Immortal after reincarnating, that would be great.”

“A soul’s personality won’t change because of reincarnation,” Chu Wanning said lightly, “I’m sorry, but we’re not the same kind of people.”

Rong Jiu was speechless, but the smile on his face didn’t waver. He lowered his head and said, “I know, I can’t compare to Immortal, but this is just wishful thinking. For people like us, if we don’t give ourselves something to look forward to, I’m afraid we won’t last more than a year in the restaurant before thinking about suicide. ”

Seeing that Chu Wanning didn’t say anything, Rong Jiu glanced at Mo Ran from the corner of his eyes, guessing that he couldn’t hear his conversation with Chu Wanning. Then he sighed softly, “After all, the customers in the restaurant are usually rough and fierce, and they don’t treat us like humans. At that time, being able to receive a guest like Mo Xianjun is already something to be desired. ”

Chu Wanning still didn’t say a word, but the meridians on the back of his hand that was pressed against the wall were bulging. If he had spirit power, he would’ve been able to poke five holes in the wall.

He held it in for a while, but still couldn’t hold it in, and said in an extremely low voice, “What’s there to be desired?”

Rong Jiu’s charming face showed a trace of affection, not too much, not too little, just right.

“Mo Xianjun is a good person. Although he made a mistake in the end and took my money, I think it’s probably because I didn’t serve him properly before. He’s always reasonable, and his personality is also likable. ”

Chu Wanning listened silently with a cold face.

“In our restaurant, everyone who has accompanied him remembers his kindness, and many of them hope that he can come back.”

“… Does he go there often?”

Rong Jiu pretended to smile bitterly, “How do you mean often? Immortal asked, but I don’t know. ”

“Then tell me how often he goes there, who he looks for, and when was the last time he went there.” Chu Wanning’s thin lips moved up and down like knives, and each of his questions splashed with cold light, as if they could kill Mo Ran.

Rong Jiu pretended not to see the cold light in Chu Wanning’s eyes, and answered with exaggeration, “I don’t remember how often he comes, but there are 30 days in a month, or 10 days. As for who he looks for … it’s not fixed. Sigh, but it’s all in the past, Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal, please don’t blame him anymore …”

“I’m asking you when was the last time you went there.” Chu Wanning’s face was as cold as ice, “Speak.”

In fact, after the day Mo Ran was reborn, he never went to visit Rong Jiu, nor did he go to the restaurant or brothel.

But looking at Chu Wanning’s face, Rong Jiu knew that he couldn’t tell the truth, so he pretended to be confused and added fuel to the fire, “I … I don’t know, but until I died, I would occasionally see Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal in the restaurant … He shouldn’t be far away.”

Before he finished, Chu Wanning suddenly stood up, withdrew his long fingers, and dropped his wide sleeves.

In the hazy night, his entire body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were sputtering with scorching sparks.

Rong Jiu was secretly happy, thinking that this simple Immortal Immortal was easy to fool. He was a young man in the brothel, and he knew how to manipulate people’s minds. As long as he opened his mouth, a decent person like Chu Wanning would definitely be hooked.

But Rong Jiu’s face was already filled with panic, and he hurriedly said, “Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal, what’s wrong, did I say something wrong? Now, now, this is all the wrongs of the previous life, please don’t blame Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal … He … he is not a bad person … ”

“Do I need you to tell me whether he is a bad person or not?” Chu Wanning was shaking with anger, and said sternly, “I am disciplining my disciple, who are you to interfere?!”

“Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal …”

Chu Wanning didn’t care about him at all. His eyes were filled with coldness, but within that coldness, there was also a blazing anger. He pushed away Rong Jiu who was in front of him, and strode to the door of the warehouse, grabbed Mo Ran’s collar and pulled him up.

Mo Ran was shocked, and hurriedly turned around, “Master?”

Chu Wan Ning retracted her hand, as if she felt that touching his collar was dirty. He was like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity to pounce on its prey. She stared at Mo Ran’s face for a long time. She was so angry that she couldn’t say a word.

What else could he say?

The punishment from the Good and Evil Stage did not make Mo Ran wake up. He had already admitted his mistake, but in front of him, he was pretending to be a good person …

Who knew that he would secretly go to the Peach Splitting House and the Broken Sleeve House to call for prostitutes?!

Mo Ran did not know that he was tricked, but he saw that Chu Wanning’s face was full of anger and disgust, and he was not sure if he saw wrongly, but there was also a bunch of suppressed grief.

“Mo Weiyu, what you said, how many words are true, and how many are false?”

Chu Wanning’s voice was hoarse, and his eyelashes were fluttering. After a long time, he said in a low voice.

“… You … really have a bad character, and it’s hard to judge …!”

This sentence was like a boulder falling into the sea, causing a huge splash.

Mo Ran was shocked, and took two steps back, shaking his head and looking at him blankly.

No …

No …

This was what Chu Wanning said in his previous life because he was very disappointed in himself.

Why would he say this again out of the blue?

Mo Ran did not know what happened, and immediately became anxious. He wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Chu Wanning. The anger in Chu Wanning’s eyes was like a wildfire, as if it was going to burn his eyes red.

He said hoarsely, “How long are you going to lie to me?!”

Mo Ran’s mind was in a mess.

What lie? What did Chu Wanning know?

He had too many dirty past, and could not bring it out in public, so when he saw Chu Wanning’s terrifying eyes, Mo Ran did not think that it was Rong Jiu who was behind this. Chu Wanning pressed on, and Mo Weiyu kept retreating until he could no longer retreat, and his back was against the wall.

Chu Wanning stopped, and looked at Mo Ran’s face in silence. Mo Ran heard his teacher’s voice choking.

“Why do you want me to go back? Continue to be lied to by you, angered by you, and fooled by you? … I thought you had changed for the better, Mo Ran — — I thought you could be taught, I thought you had changed for the better! I thought I could teach you well … ”

He slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he said softly.

“Rotten wood cannot be carved.”

“Teacher — —”

“Get lost.”

“… …”

“Don’t you understand?!” Chu Wanning suddenly opened his eyes, which were full of coldness. “Mo Weiyu, you disappoint me. How do you want me to pretend that I don’t know anything, and return to the world of the living with you? ”

Mo Ran’s heart tightened, and regardless of his anger, he grabbed his wrist under his wide sleeve, shook his head, and said with tears in his eyes, “Teacher, don’t be angry, tell me what happened, okay? If I did anything wrong, I will change, okay? Don’t drive me away … ”

Change … Mo Ran said he would change, but did he? If he didn’t meet Rong Jiu, would he know about this?!

Chu Wanning was originally the calmest person, but he had a strong temper, and he was even more emotional. In addition, Rong Jiu and Mo Ran’s relationship was terrible, and Rong Jiu acted so well, so Chu Wanning was fooled.

Chu Wanning couldn’t get away from Mo Ran, and in his anger, he raised his hand to summon Heaven’s Inquisition, but how could he summon it?

He was so angry that he was on the verge of collapse, and if he was alive, he would have vomited blood.

Suddenly, a bright red light lit up, and Mo Ran called the ghost, and handed it to Chu Wanning. He knelt in front of his teacher, but his other hand was still tightly holding Chu Wanning’s wrist, afraid that he would leave at any time. Mo Ran said, “Teacher, I know that I … did a lot of things to make you angry, to make you sad … but after coming to the World of Spirits and Souls, what I said to you, is all true.”

He raised his head, held back his tears, and looked at him, “It’s all true, I didn’t lie to you …”

Chu Wanning clenched her fists tightly. Her heart was burning with anger, but she also felt extremely uncomfortable. Mo Ran’s grip on her was so strong that he could not stop trembling. He was on the verge of despair, but he refused to let go. His pain seemed to be piercing into the depths of his soul, how could he not feel it?

Mo Ran said, “If Teacher is unhappy, if you don’t want to forgive me, then you can hit me, scold me, you can do it. If you really don’t want to see me … feel that I … feel that I … have a bad character, and difficult to cultivate … ”

When he said this, he suddenly choked.

Mo Ran lowered his head, and knelt in front of Chu Wanning.

“If Teacher really doesn’t want to … want me anymore …”

He didn’t want Chu Wanning to see him cry, but his shoulders couldn’t help but tremble. Tears fell, and dripped to the ground, silently staining it.

“In the future, I will … leave the Peak of Life and Death … never … ever appear in front of Teacher again … but I beg you … I beg you …”

He knelt, and his forehead was almost touching the muddy ground, but the hand that was holding Chu Wanning’s wrist was so tight, so stubborn, and refused to let go.

“I beg you, don’t go.”

“…”

“Teacher …”

Chu Wanning closed his eyes.

“You promised me that you would go back with me, I beg you, don’t go …”

His heart was painful and sour. It was obviously just a remnant soul, but why did it feel like a knife was cutting his heart and burning his heart?

Chu Wanning suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with resentment. “Did I promise you? Then what about the promise you made me? On the Good and Evil Stage, you clearly said that you knew you were wrong, and in the Green Heaven Hall, you knelt and said that you wouldn’t do it again — why can’t you do it! Mo Weiyu, do you really think that I will never know, and won’t punish you again?! ”

“…!” Mo Ran was shocked, but he felt like he was in the clouds. He suddenly raised his head, and opened his moist eyes, “What?”

Before he finished speaking, the ghost saw a flash of red light, and fiercely slapped Mo Ran’s face. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere, splattering on the wall and the ground.

Chu Wanning was really angry, so angry that he choked.

This vine whip actually didn’t save the slightest bit of strength.

Mo Ran’s side face was cut open, and beads of blood kept dripping down.

But he didn’t care about the pain at all. He grabbed Chu Wanning’s hand, opened his eyes wide, and asked, “What Good and Evil Stage? What Green Heaven Hall? … I … what did I hide from you? What did I lie to you about? ”

His repeated questions made Chu Wanning even more dizzy. He wanted to shake him off, but he couldn’t.

Mo Ran suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head abruptly, and looked into the warehouse — —

That bastard Rong Jiu, when the two of them were arguing fiercely, and couldn’t see a second person in each other’s eyes, he actually sneaked out secretly and disappeared!

Mo Ran immediately understood, and his expression changed greatly, “… Master, we fell into his trap! Come with me quickly! It won’t be safe here soon, let’s go! ”

As he said that, he pulled Chu Wanning and ran out of the door. After running for a few steps, they saw Rong Jiu leading a group of Yin soldiers from afar, and he kept saying, “Over here, that living person, with a remnant soul … the two of them …”

Mo Ran was furious, “Why didn’t they kill you!”

There was no time to explain more, Mo Ran held Chu Wanning’s hand tightly, and led him through the palace walls and alleys. There were more and more soldiers behind them, and the sound of clappers and whistles resounded in the palace. Chu Wanning glanced back, and saw four or five lights converging from several main alleys, like hissing fire snakes, snaking towards them.

Rong Jiu’s face was shining, and his body that was extremely weak because of the bullying in the past was desperately chasing Chu Wanning and Mo Ran, like a hungry wolf chasing after its prey. He felt that he was the first to succeed, and his heart was extremely happy, and even burst out some heroic spirit.

“Catch them, catch the living person who trespassed into the ghost world — —!”

Halfway through running, his arm was suddenly grabbed. Rong Jiu turned around angrily, and saw that it was the captain of the guards who had detained him before. He couldn’t help but feel guilty, but still said angrily, “Why do you want to catch me? Why don’t you go and catch the person in front? ”

“They ran away without permission, didn’t you also want to run away without permission?” The captain narrowed his eyes and looked at him maliciously.

Rong Jiu was shocked, and said, “I, I ran because I wanted to catch the person for the Fourth Prince, I was the one who found the living person … I was the one who found that Mo Weiyu was not a ghost, don’t think that you can catch me and steal the credit in front of the Fourth Prince!”

The captain was stunned at first, and then he thought about it, and laughed, “You found it first? You got the credit? Hahaha, I stole the credit? ”

The wanton laughter suddenly tightened.

“I think you are crazy because you want to get the credit! The living person was found by the Fourth Prince himself! Otherwise, do you think that in order to stop an ordinary ghost, the Fourth Prince had to use a wizardry barrier to seal the entire palace? Ha, steal the credit, I think you are blind, you want to steal the credit from the Fourth Prince! ”

Rong Jiu was shocked, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

In front of him was a rolling army of ghost soldiers rushing past, chasing after Mo Ran and Chu Wanning. Rong Jiu’s lips trembled, and he couldn’t help but murmur, “Found it long ago? The Ghost King found it long ago … by himself? I … I am not the first one? No, no credit? I … ”

The scene of extravagance and riches seemed to have crashed to the ground with a loud crash, only to be trampled to pieces by the frenzied flow of Yin soldiers.

Rong Jiu was stunned for a while, and then he suddenly became crazy, struggling to rush forward. His figure was weak, like a humble mayfly that refused to accept its fate, like a moth that died because of the candle.

His life had never been easy, there was only one bed, men, rich women, and guests.

A small house that never saw the light of day, and it was difficult to distinguish between day and night, that was his life.

It was too dark, and the night would never end. He wanted tomorrow, and he was willing to sacrifice his dignity, his body, his face, his kindness, his conscience … These were the only things he had.

For a glimpse of light, he had to embrace fire.

“Wait! Wait for me! Chu Xian Jun, save me — —! ”

“Catch him! He defected and we will take him to the Fourth Prince for trial! ”

“No — — no!” Rong Jiu’s pale and bloodless fingers clawed at the ground, and his hair was disheveled in the struggle. His beautiful face looked particularly gloomy and terrifying under the gloomy moonlight. His eyes bulged, and he screamed incoherently, “No! Chu Xian Jun, save me! “After a while, he screamed hysterically,” I found them first! I found the living person first! It was me! You can’t do this to me! Without me, you wouldn’t have found them at all! You want to steal my benefits, you want to steal my credit! ”

He was dragged away, and his crazy screams were quickly drowned out by the rumbling footsteps …
