The First Genocide's Grudge

  Meow! A stray cat suddenly darted out from who-knows-where and quickly ran to the side, giving those tense guards a big fright.

  "Damn it! It's just a stray cat, and we've been tense for half the night. I told you so, who would come to this godforsaken place at this hour?"

  "Hey! Don't mention that word, okay?"

  "You're a grown man, and you're still afraid of ghosts? Don't you have any guts?"

  "I don't have the guts, but you do, I wonder who was hiding behind just now and didn't dare to come out."

  "I was protecting you from behind!"

  “……”

  The intermittent quarrelsome voices gradually faded away from near to far and disappeared at the door.

  Mei'er felt stifled in her heart, took a deep breath, and pushed him away with force: "Bastard! Are you done yet?!" For no reason at all, she had been kissed by him for so long.

  You're really something! Did you enjoy being so intimate? If I had known earlier, I would have let those guards catch him just now! Mei'er quickly covered her face with a veil and glared at him fiercely.

  "Chen'er......" Just a moment ago, Shang Liyou's intoxication had almost completely worn off. As he looked into Mei'er's eyes, he felt a surge of excitement and grasped her hand: "Chen'er! Is that you?"

  Is he thinking of Wu Chen'er all day? Mei'er secretly frowned, she wanted to scold him a few words, but the guilt that remained on Wu Chen'er's body towards this man surged up again, making her unable to bear it.

  "Second brother..." This weak and gentle voice was absolutely not hers, Mei'er had an urge to bite her tongue, but this would be out of control, after all, whose body was this? Wu Chen'er's.

  "Chen'er! Chen'er! It's really you!" This cry from Second Brother nearly caused Shang Liyou's tears to burst forth, his long arm stretching out to tightly embrace the petite Mei'er in his bosom, the force of which almost snapped Mei'er's ribs.

  Do you want to hold it so tightly? Mei's eyebrows were almost twisted into a line, this man's arm must be made of steel, otherwise how could he be so strong, she felt like she was going to suffocate in his arms.

  "If you don't let me go, I'll be hugged to death by you!" Mei'er felt that she was having some difficulty speaking, this man looked so strong, was he specially made to bully women?

  "Chen Er, I'm sorry, I...I'm just too happy..." Shang Liyou seemed to be so happy that he was almost incoherent, although he had let go of Mei Er, but those hands were still tightly grasping Mei Er's hand.

  "I'm a ghost now, aren't you afraid?" Hehe, scare him first and see if he's easily scared.

  But unexpectedly, Shang Liyou shook his head: "I'm not afraid! As long as I can see you every day, I don't care if you're human or a ghost!"

  The girl blinked her beautiful eyes, this man's brain must have been kicked by a donkey, otherwise, everyone in the world is afraid of ghosts, he actually said he wasn't afraid, unless he was drunk and confused, however, his appearance didn't seem to be that way.

  "Humans and ghosts take different paths, how can you see me every day? Sorry, I have to go!" Look, the night is already deep, Mei'er doesn't want to chat with him anymore, she just wants to leave.

  "Chen'er! Don't go! Don't leave me!" Shang Liyou acted foolishly again, and tightly hugged Mei'er.

  Mei'er felt helpless, and sighed. Such a devoted man, it's as if they're going extinct in this world. She suddenly had some doubts, with someone as heartless as Shang Tian, why would he have such a devoted brother?

  However, Shang Li Tian can't be considered heartless, he's just heartless towards Wu Chen Er. As for Ye Zi Qing that cheap person, he's still extremely fond of her. Just thinking about Shang Li Tian makes the resentment in my body surge again.

  "I'm really leaving, let me go!" The sleeve tightened again, if he didn't let her go, she wouldn't mind giving him two punches.

  "Chen Er, do you know? I really miss you so much! Even now, I still regret it deeply. Why didn't I think of myself a bit more at the time? If that night, I had thought of myself a bit more, I could have taken you far away and you wouldn't have died..." Until now, Shang Liyou still feels deep remorse.

  "Second brother, I don't blame you! I only blame myself for being too foolish! Don't be hard on yourself, it's me who wronged you!" From Wu Chen'er's memories, Mei'er knew that Wu Chen'er indeed had an ulterior motive in getting close to Shang Liyou.

  But she didn't expect that Shang Liuyu would blame himself for that night until now.

  "Chen Er..." The pain of many years made Shang Liyou's emotions hard to control, and he refused to let go no matter what.

  Mei'er wanted to take action, but it was due to Wu Chen'er's guilt towards this man that she didn't make a move, and instead tried to persuade him patiently.

  However, a white shadow seemed to jump quickly from somewhere in the corner of her eye. Mei'er didn't believe it was an illusion. There were actually other people in this broken palace?

  Isn't it?

  No time to think more, she pushed away Shang Liuyou and rushed towards the direction where the white figure left. Although she couldn't do lightness skills, her movements were absolutely not inferior to those who could!

  "Chen'er!" Shang Liyou also came to his senses, suddenly stood up, and was about to chase after him, but looked around in all directions, where had Chen'er's figure gone?

  "Off you go again! Zhen'er, you've left me once more!" He muttered to himself, thinking that the ghost of Zhen'er he had just seen was real. His lips still held the lingering scent of hers, and he couldn't help but lightly lick them. Only when drunk would Zhen'er behave like this!

  He got up, staggered a bit, picked up the wine jug beside him, shook it, and found that there was still some wine left, then sat back down on the ground and continued drinking.

  All these years, all his sorrows could only be poured out with wine, and only wine understood his sorrow, understood his pain!

  And then Mei'er chased after the white shadow, that figure seemed to have discovered someone was following, and its body moved even faster. In her anxious state, Mei'er didn't think twice, she made a quick motion with her sleeve, and the silver needle had already left her hand!

  "Hiss!" A sudden sound, the white figure in front suddenly stopped and turned around. This time, Mei'er saw clearly that the man was a stranger!

  "Who are you? Why sneak into Fengchen Palace at night?" Mei'er growled.

  Under the moonlight, Mei stood quietly there, her white dress fluttering in the wind, and her long hair dancing with the wind. Although her face couldn't be seen clearly, her sharp eyes made people feel a chill!

  The man in white didn't respond to Meng Er's question, but instead covered his injured arm and jumped onto the wall!

  "Hey! Don't let him go!" Mei'er also quickly chased after him.

  The man in white only stayed on the wall for half a second, seemingly looking back at Mei'er before quickly jumping down to the other side and disappearing without a trace.

  Mei'er chased to the wall, such a high wall, she didn't prepare when she came tonight, naturally couldn't jump up, angry and stamped her foot: Hmph! That person ran fast!

  However, a big question arose in his mind. Who was this man in white? How did he appear in this dead palace? Moreover, judging from his appearance, he seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the palace.

  Could it be that he is the thief who rapes and kills one or two palace maids every month? If so, then he should really die!

  After searching around and making sure there was nothing suspicious, Mei'er quietly left the Fengchen Palace and returned to her own bedroom.

  Xiao Xian had been waiting there with a burning heart for her, and as soon as she saw her return, she was overjoyed and rushed to welcome her: "Holy Girl, you're back!" Seeing the solemn expression on her master's face, she asked again: "Holy Girl, what's wrong?"

  Mei'er sat down, took a sip of tea and said: "Xiao Xian, I saw a mysterious man in Fengchen Palace tonight. I think he must be related to the palace maid case. Unfortunately, his lightness skill is very powerful, I couldn't catch up with him!"

  Then he told everything that had just happened again one by one.

  Xiao Xian listened and said: "Holy Girl, don't worry, that person ran away as soon as he saw you, which proves that he is guilty. And I'm sure, he must have taken you for Princess Chenfei!"

  Mei'er only then noticed that her outfit tonight was indeed similar to Wu Chen'er's back then.

  She didn't know that Xiaoxian had seen Wu Chen'er before, and she naturally remembered Wu Chen'er's appearance. She was also deliberately dressed like this for Mei'er, in case someone discovered her and could still appear as Wu Chen'er.

  Somewhere

  A man in white clothes quickly flashed into the house, and a low, tense male voice came from inside: "What's wrong?"

  "It's nothing, just got hit by a hidden projectile in my arm..." The voice seemed to be laced with pain.

  "Let me see!" came the sound of clothes tearing, and soon after, a muffled grunt was heard, as if someone had pulled out a silver needle.

  "It's a good thing nothing happened, the needle wasn't poisonous!" After a pause, he asked in a low voice: "What happened? How did you end up colliding with someone?" That road, he should be more familiar with it than anyone.

  "I just came out and ran into that woman, but I'm not sure if it's a person..." Just as Xiaoxian guessed, he actually took Mei'er for a ghost.

  No wonder he thought so, that kind of gloomy place, and it was midnight, let alone a woman, even if a man went there would feel frightened.

  "She's a human! And I know who she is! She won't ruin our big plan for now, but... did she see you when you came out?" There was some concern in that low voice.

  The man in white said with certainty: "She must not have seen where I came out, but do you know her?"

  Another man seemed to have been silent for a while, then said: "I recognize this silver needle! So I guessed it." Then he changed the subject: "You should be more careful in your actions from now on, and never run into her again!" With her temperament, she will definitely investigate to the end.

  "Yes!" The white-robed man's voice was filled with respect: "This time, the Great King has allowed the Holy Maiden to come and get married, there must be some purpose, what should we do?"

  That low voice came again: "The king never makes a move without being sure, these days we temporarily don't go out, and must not let Shang Li Tian have any suspicions, or else the plans of the past two years will all be ruined!"

  "Yes!"

  The sound of the patrol's footsteps came from outside, the light in the room suddenly went out, and everything was pitch black. The sound also stopped abruptly, and the surroundings returned to the quietness of the night.
