Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 86
Shen Wanqing was a little scared, she grabbed the quilt tightly.Biting her lip, her gentle and quiet face turned pale.The flower branches in front of the window were fluttered by the night wind, knocking on the window and making a crackling sound.

While the shadows of the trees were shaking, the night wind blew in through the gaps in the windows and made a whining sound.In this silent night, she seemed particularly invisible and terrifying, and the chaotic voice beat on her heart.

"Fenghua! Fenghua!"

Shen Wanqing yelled loudly to the maid who should stay outside tonight, but she yelled for a long time but no one came in.

Biting her lips, she gritted her teeth and lifted the quilt and got out of bed.She doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world, if there are ghosts, they are pretended by humans.Lifting the glazed lamp hanging by the bed, she walked outside.

Squeak, there was a slight sound of opening the door.Shen Wanqing's body froze, her eyes fixed on the curtain of the inner room.The hand holding the glazed lamp was clenched tightly, and the steps towards the curtain were trembling.

Suddenly a figure flashed past the window quickly, and there was a bump.Shen Wanqing loosened her hand, and the glazed lamp fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.The whole room was plunged into darkness, and the fragments on the ground could only be faintly seen by the cold moonlight outside.

Shen Wanqing's body was trembling with fear, not caring whether she would step on the debris on the ground.She ran back to the bed in a panic and hid under the quilt.

"Miss. Miss"

There was a sinister sound in the room, and the sound seemed to come from all directions.Wrapped around her ears, no matter what, she couldn't shake it off.

"Who is turning around and playing tricks. You'd better come out quickly, or I will definitely peel your skin if you are caught by this lady." Shen Wanqing shrank her body to the foot of the bed and looked around vigilantly.

"Skinning? Miss, do you know the taste of skinning? It hurts, it hurts. The ghost messenger in the Palace of the King of Hades will use a sharp knife to pick the skin off the person's body. Then peel it off little by little, revealing the bloody flesh." And dense white bones. Watching my own skin being peeled off bit by bit with my own eyes, that feeling is so scary."

The sinister voice was very soft, as if he was telling the scene he had personally experienced.

"Shut up, who are you?" Shen Wanqing's body kept trembling, and even the voice she shouted was shattered due to fear.

"Hehe, Miss Shiqin has done so many bad things for you. After she died, she received retribution, and she had to endure the pain of skinning every day. The maidservant is so unwilling, unwilling. The maidservant died unjustly."

The sinister voice suddenly rose, with a heart-shattering shrillness.

Shen Wanqing's body froze, and her face became paler and paler.Cold sweat broke out all over his back, and endless fear shrouded his heart.

"It wasn't me, I didn't kill you. Don't come looking for me." Shen Wanqing covered her ears, shook her head desperately and muttered to herself.

With a bang, the closed window suddenly opened by itself.Standing in front of the window was a figure in a white dress with long black hair hanging loose.The figure turned around slowly, her long hair covering her face.The cold moonlight fell on her body, which was indescribably weird.

Shen Wanqing's eyes widened suddenly, and her pupils were a little dilated.She blinked twice fiercely, and when she opened her eyes again, there was nothing in front of the window.Only a few flower branches trembled indiscriminately under the blowing of the night wind.

Her gripped heart was relieved, but fortunately everything was a phantom.She moved her stiff body, and the moonlight in front of her eyes was blocked.She raised her head and met a pair of cold black eyes.The heart suddenly raised his throat, and the resentment inside made people's hair stand on end.

In just a few breaths, the figure had already arrived in front of her.The night wind blew away the hair that covered her face, revealing a small pale face.There was still shocking blood on her forehead, her sunken eye sockets, and her disfigured thin face made her look like a ghost who had escaped from hell.

"Miss, Shiqin loves you so much, can you come and accompany me?"

When Shen Wanqing saw that blue and white face clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank.Although the face was already thin and out of shape, her appearance could still be seen.It was none other than her handmaid, Qinqin, and there was a wound on her forehead that was worn by her master.

"You are Shiqin. Don't come here!"

Shen Wanyu's body curled up into a ball, leaning against the foot of the bed tremblingly.He used the quilt to block himself in front of him, his eyes full of horror.

"Miss, look"

The bloody hand stretched out in front of Shen Wanqing, and the other hand grabbed her chin to make her look at her own hand.It was a bloody hand from which the skin had been peeled off.The white bones are clearly visible, stimulating people's vision.

"My hands were skinned, then my arms and then my upper body"

That bloody hand suddenly caressed her fair cheek, accompanied by a piercing laughter: "And then, here it is."

Shen Wanqing tightly closed her eyes, the bloody hand made her feel fear and nausea.The pungent smell of blood filled her nose, and the sticky touch on her cheeks made her body involuntarily get goosebumps.

"You said that a person's face is peeled off, what will it look like?" The gloomy voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and it was imprinted in her mind like a bewilderment.

"what!"

A horrified scream came out of her mouth, under the double stimulation of heart and vision.She only felt black in front of her eyes, and lost consciousness in the next second.

The room fell into a deep silence, Yu Shui stretched out his hand to push Shen Wanqing who was stunned.He frowned, so he fainted from fright?I can't help but be scared.

Five heads appeared in front of the open window, looking into the inner room.Shen Wanyu pressed her chin against the window, pouted.

"Second sister is really timid, she fainted from fright in just a short while."

She stood up and climbed into the inner room through the window.Walking to the bed, and following the moonlight, she looked at the fainted Shen Wanqing.Looking at that bloodless little face, with cold sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he was really frightened.

Lazily retracting her gaze, she turned her head to look at the 'female ghost' standing beside her.Nodding in satisfaction, he suddenly put his arms around her shoulders and said with a hey smile.

"Yushui, your outfit is really interesting."

Yu Shui rolled her eyes in her heart, for this new master.After getting along for so many days, she probably understood something.He is a master who will repay his flaws, but he is a master who protects his shortcomings.

This second young lady didn't know where she had offended her, so she was punished.Anyway, in her heart, Shen Wanyu had already been classified as someone not to be messed with.

"Ahem, it's also the first time for me to pretend to be a female ghost." Yu Shui coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward no matter what.Her disguise technique was actually used by the lady for this kind of thing.

"Wow, Sister Yushui, you are so powerful. It's so cool to see you knocking out the second miss. It's so satisfying." Xia Ju ran in from the outside and walked around Yushui a few times.

Qiuzhu and the others also gathered around, all with curiosity in their eyes.The corner of Yushui's mouth twitched, why did she have a feeling of being appreciated as an object.This feeling made her scalp tingle, and she wanted to leave here.It's a pity that the young lady didn't speak, so she could only stand here and let these girls watch.

Hiding in the dark, Yufeng looked sympathetically at Yushui whose face had already stiffened, and was suddenly glad that he was still a guard protecting him in secret.At least you don't have to let yourself be surrounded by people like a monkey, and you don't have to make yourself like this to do things for the master.A quick smile flashed across his indifferent eyes, he would not admit that he was gloating.

"Okay, I'm sleepy. Let's go back."

Shen Wanyu looked at Yu Shui with a stiff face, and suddenly opened her mouth out of kindness.Turning around and leaving Shen Wanqing's yard, she walked slowly towards Yuyuan.It is not just a few days for a person to change.Anyway, the days to come are still long.

Looking at the few people who left, Yu Shui's face finally loosened.He let out a long breath, and disappeared on the spot in a flash.She wants to change this uncomfortable body quickly, and she vows never to be a 'female ghost' again.

Compared to some people who were scared unconscious, Shen Wanyu got a good night's sleep.

In the exquisite and majestic study, Chu Mohan was flipping through the scrolls.There was a knock on the door of the study, and he didn't even lift his head, he just let in lazily.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.Ying walked in with an expressionless face, and saw his master looking at the scroll.He didn't step forward to disturb, but stood quietly and waited.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Chu Mohan put down the scroll in his hand, raised his head to look at Ying standing beside him.

"Miss Shen tonight."

With an expressionless face, Ying conveyed the news from the dark guard to his master verbatim, and looked at his master's helpless yet doting smile.He just felt that this world had become a fantasy, and his cold master was becoming more and more different from before.

"This girl really has a lot of ghost ideas. I really don't know what things are in her head."

Chu Mohan shook his head, actually looking for someone to pretend to be a ghost to scare her second sister.He knew that his girl had a feud with the aunts and younger sisters in her family, especially the second aunt and younger sister.It's almost to the point of being immortal.

As if thinking of something, his dark eyebrows frowned slightly.He couldn't figure out some things, why people who didn't appear in the previous life appeared in this life.For example, Yushui who was beside her, Yufeng who secretly protected her, and the boss of Zui Wufang.

Not knowing whether these people would change what was about to happen in the previous life, their slender fingers tapped on the table lightly.With so many accidents, will he still follow his previous plan?
