Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Got Tricked Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Got Tricked “Everyone’s dead! What’s there to misunderstand?”
“Well, it was his own damn fault.”
The little ghost in red suddenly lost control and began to shriek wildly, her eyes turning blood red as her ears, eyes, nose, and mouth began to bleed profusely, as if it was free, relentlessly pouring out.
The little ghost in red’s sudden loss of control startled Xuexue and she quickly stepped back several times to maintain a distance from her.
“Master, don’t be afraid, I didn’t mean to scare you. When I died in my past life, it was just like this. Do you know? It was all that damn Old Ghost’s fault. He killed all twenty-odd members of my family overnight. I can’t quell the resentment in my heart until he’s dead.”
As Xuexue expected, Old Money Mo wouldn’t be plagued by a few little ghosts for over a decade for no reason.
The little ghost in red seemed to be engulfed in endless agony as she stood in the courtyard with a forlorn face and continued, “Over a decade ago, our family was considered well-off in County Town, living quite abundantly. One day, my grandfather went out to do good deeds and distribute porridge and came across Old Money Mo, starving to death on the street corner. My kind-hearted grandfather pitied him, brought him home, and made him a servant, so he didn’t have to be out in the sun and the rain without enough food to eat. But who knew, this ungrateful wretch, with a heart of a wolf and lungs of a dog, repaid kindness with evil. Covetous of our family’s wealth, he did everything possible to please my grandparents. Then one night, taking advantage of their unpreparedness, he poisoned our meals, killing the entire family and looting our home of all its wealth.”
Xuexue listened with a face full of pity. Old Money Mo seemed amiable, but she couldn’t have imagined how ruthless he really was. No wonder he became rich overnight more than a decade ago–it was all ill-gotten wealth.
Perhaps it was the little ghost in red’s tragic story that evoked her own unbearable memories, for she unexpectedly said, “Don’t be sad anymore, you can stay by my side from now on.”
“What?”
Clearly, the little ghost was still immersed in the sadness of her former life and was slow to snap back to the present.
“If you don’t want to, forget it.” As soon as she said it, Xuexue already regretted it, and seeing no reaction, she quickly added.
“Master, Master, I’m willing, I’m willing,” the little ghost in red said, drying her tears and nodding in agreement.
“Then go in by yourself. I’m tired too.” Xuexue yawned, ready to go back to her room to sleep. After a few steps, she looked back and saw the little ghost in red still standing there in a daze.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to go into the bracelet? Why aren’t you going in?”
“Well, Master, we haven’t performed the blood oath yet, so I can’t get in,” the little ghost said with an embarrassed look.
“What? It’s that troublesome? Then forget it.” Xuexue turned to leave, joking aside, to perform a blood ritual for a little ghost she’d only met a few times? She wasn’t stupid and had no such intention.
“It’s not troublesome, not troublesome at all.”
