Chapter 791 - 790: Dreamland
Yusuf Zuck really missed Ariel Higgins, missed her dearly. He longed to see her again, to see her in that cheongsam, to gaze upon her curvaceous figure, to see the mischievous twinkle in her eyes.
But she was gone, and even with Yusuf’s ability to revive the dead, he ultimately couldn’t bring Ariel back from the Underworld.
Yusuf took out several bottles of strong liquor from his ring and threw one down in front of the tombstone; he also took a long swig from another bottle. The alcohol burned his throat, painfully so, but it helped to dull the sorrow.
Even as tears streamed down his face, he suddenly burst into loud, wild laughter, like a madman, and after the laughter, he felt even more aggrieved as he wiped away his tears.
They say that a true man bleeds but doesn’t cry, yet there was no one else here. What was it to anyone if he cried a bit? So as he drank, he leaned against the tombstone, both crying and laughing, utterly lost in his crazed state!
Yusuf drank all the liquor and spent the whole night embracing the tombstone as he slept.
In his dream, he saw Ariel. She told him she was out of money and kept crying about how aggrieved she felt. She also called him heartless for not visiting her sooner and asked him to burn some paper money for her.
When Yusuf woke up the next morning, he jolted awake. Although he had drunk too much the previous night, the dream felt so real.
There is a folk belief that deceased loved ones will occasionally appear in dreams to ask their living relatives to burn paper offerings and send them money. And last night, he had had such a dream!
Yusuf gave the tombstone an odd look and then strode away.
