I couldnât help but sigh.
Who would have thought that Ye Qian would have such a love story? It was simply like a fairy tale.
The heavens pitied them. Cousin Mo was a responsible person and he wouldnât disappoint Ye Qian.
âI really didnât expect that you would become my cousin-in-law.â I sighed.
Ye Qianâs face turned slightly red. âI just want to be by Master Sanâs side for the rest of my life. I donât have extravagant hopes for anything else.â
I couldnât help but widen my eyes. âYouâve been by my cousinâs side for so long. You guys, really, uh, I want to ask, are you guys still ââ
âThereâs nothing between us.â While I was still stuttering, Ye Qian had already said it directly.
I looked at her. âWhy?â
Ye Qian lowered her eyes. âMaster San has some concerns. He always knows that he doesnât have much time left, and he doesnât want to implicate me. He hope that after he leaves, I can still have a beautiful future.â Ye Qianâs eyes were filled with faint tears. âBut, in this life, apart from him, I wonât love anyone else. Iâm his woman. Even if heâs gone, Iâll still be his woman.â
I slammed the table and stood up, startling Ye Qian. She looked up at me. I rolled up my sleeves. âYe Qian, donât worry. Iâll definitely let my cousin live for a hundred years. As long as Iâm alive, my cousin canât die!â
As I walked out, I shouted without turning back, âBut you have to take the initiative. I canât help you with that matter. Think about it carefully. Let me tell you, if you want to thank me, then hurry up and become my cousin-in-law!â
Ye Qian didnât follow me. I reckoned that she was too dumbfounded.
She should reflect on herself properly. I had to find Mr. Li.
I bumped into Su Shen and she pulled me back. âWhere are you going? Iâm looking for you!â
âWhatâs the matter?â I stopped.
Su Shen looked left and right before saying in a low voice, âMa Ji wants to see you!â
Ma Ji?
I had almost forgotten about this personâs existence.
âWhy is she looking for me?â I asked curiously.
Su Shen shook her head. âI donât know. Ma Ji has been locked up in the dungeon. Master Si was supposed to escort her back to her tribe but Master Si didnât really leave, so Ma Ji was locked up back in the dungeon. Mr. Li doesnât have time to care about her now. Sheâs quite honest. Itâs just that she suddenly told the brother guarding the dungeon that she wants to see you today.â
I couldnât understand it.
âAre you going? If youâre going, Iâll accompany you!â Su Shen asked me.
âYes, letâs go and take a look.â I nodded.
âI heard that this woman is very evil. Why donât we bring Mr. Li along?â Su Shen suggested.
I shook my head. âThereâs no need. She wouldnât say anything with Mr. Li around. Plus, if she wants to talk to Mr. Li, why would she name me specifically? I heard from Mr. Li that she couldnât do any voodoo anymore.â Mr. Li had already sealed off all of her evil techniques.
âAlright then, but we have to be on guard. Donât go near her and stay away from her,â Su Shen reminded me.
I nodded in agreement.
The so-called dungeon was a very spacious basement. It had ventilation, drainage, and lighting. The conditions were pretty good.
In the innermost area, there was a row of areas surrounded by iron railings. There were beds, tables, and other living facilities.
I saw Ma Ji at a glance because there was no one else locked here.
Ma Ji sat cross-legged on the single-seater wooden bed. Her hands were placed on her knees and formed a seal that I could not understand. Her eyes were closed and she did not move at all.
Ma Jiâs complexion was not bad. Ever since she met Mr. Li, Ma Ji might have lost all of her powers and magical powers, but she was becoming more and more like a human. Her ghostly presence weakened.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
