Chapter 557: Li Mazi Got Hurt


    The white shadow got up. His strange eyeslooked atme. Ididnthave time to hide. Aftermaintainingeye contact with me for a short time,he turned and was about to leave.


    Ashe was leaving, Orange stopped weeping. Her beautiful face reddened with anger. She crazily shoutedat the white shadow. You left me behind one thousand years ago.Do you want to do that again?!


    The shadow didnt say anything. He didnt evenstop walking. Oranges beautiful face twisted. Her eyesturnedred. It lookedasthoughshe could cry out blood. Her body began to exude a ck mist.


    Muahahaha!Orange suddenly released aburstofear-splittingughter. I was startled.


    Isnt thisthe voice Li Mazispoke inyesterday when we were in the car? Li Yu didnt possess him.Thefemale ghostdid!


    Then, the ghost controlled Orangeandslowly moved to the window. With a hostile face, she screamed, You wont have a decent death! All of you! No one will have a decent death!


    After thundering, she jumped through the window. I was so scaredthatI didnt have time to worryabout them recognizingme. I rolled andgot outfrombehindthe bed like a carp. Immediately, Ished the Sirius Whip at Orange.


    Following a shriek, a woman dressed in a gold color floated from Oranges body. Orange felltothe ground, while theghost flew aside. Herblood-redeyesgazedat me. She clenched her jaw and ground her teeth as though shewantedto tear me into pieces.


    I hurried toceOrangeonthe bed. I anxiously studied the two ghosts.There was no need to mention how restless I was. Both wormwood powder and Sirius Whip couldnt scare them away. I didnt have the confidence that I could defeat them.


    Li Yu didnt look at me. He stooped and looked at the ghost I had hit. His face grimaced and he looked reluctant. I had watched a lot of drama series about Li Yu on TV. The actors who yed him also wore such tender and fond expressionswhile also lookinghesitant and reluctant.


    When the female ghost saw that Li Yuwas looking ather, the red hue in her eyes faded a little. Herfurious faceturnedtender.


    I was shockedand watchedthe new development of this ghostly drama. I thought they had finallyreachedthe romantic moment afteradramatic climax.Butrightat thatmoment, someone screamed in pain in the next room.


    Feeling worried, I rushedoutofthe room. After a few steps, I turned and found that both Li Yu and the womanweregone.


    Before I could open the door of the next room, someone fell into my chest. I turned on the light and found it was Shen Haoran. His face was as pale as a sheet of white paper. He didnt say anythingand lookednklyas if he had lost his soul.However,I was more worried about Li Mazi. I pushed him aside andwentto the patient ward next door.


    Six people were surrounding Li Mazi with panicked faces. Li Mazi was holding a fruit knife in his hand.


    When I came in, the other six heaved a sigh of relief.They remained cautious as they watchedLi Mazi. I turned to checkhim, andI was immediately frightened by what I saw.


    His shirt was open. His bulging veins were twitching, justas if something was swimming back and forthbeneath his skin. His face was twisted, andthe knifein his hand was dripping blood. There were so many bleeding cuts on hisbelly. It seemed he had cut himself.


    Why didnt you guys stop him?! I couldnt helpbut scoldthe other people in the room. Then, Isnatchedthe knife from Li Mazis hand. Before he could react, I hit his temple to knock him out.


    There were six people in this room, but they had just watched Li Mazihurthimself. If I hadstarted fightingwith the other two spirits in the other room, Li Mazi wouldhave beenin grave danger.


    The more I thought aboutit, the angrier Ibecame. I couldnt control myemotions. Li Mazis sudden groansnapped me out of it.I pulled myself together. Li Mazi was still in danger.


    I hurried to helphimlie down. I burned the fruit knife with a lighter for a while to disinfect it. Then, Imadea small cut onhisbelly. Afterward, I burned and melted an evil expelling talisman to make charm water to feed to Li Mazi.


    Then, I put my index finger and middle finger togetherand pressed by the cut onLi Mazisbelly. Frighteningly, ck worms came out from the cut. As soon as theymade contact withthe air, they died.


    After forcing the worms out, I treated his wounds then called the doctor. The doctor was a man with good senses. He didnt ask any questions and justgaveLi Mazi an injection thenwrappedup his hurtbelly.


    Li Mazi, who was always lively and hopped around, was now in bed with a pale face. He wasflinching and looking as though he was in great pain.I really wanted to reprimand those people who had just watched him hurt himself.


    Shen Haorancameinto theroom. Hewas lookingbetter. However, he didnt dare to say anything when hesaw that I had adark face. Since he had kept his mouth shut,I had to ask him first. What happened?


    He hesitated for a long time before telling me what had happened.


    It turned out they were scared, so they didnt turn off the light. The team took shifts to rest. Nothing happened for quite a long time. When it was Li Mazis turn to watch, he suddenly tore his shirt, hisface grimacingin pain. He woke everybody up, so they wanted to check if he was okay.


    However,theythen saw a womansfacehoverabove Li Mazis shoulder. She openedher big mouth, and herblood-redeyes gazed at people,which scaredthe souls out of them.


    Then, something started to move under the skin of hisbelly. Li Mazi was in great pain, but he couldnt make a sound. Beforetheycould do anything, Li Mazi abruptly grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed himself.


    Oranges mother was so scaredthat she shrieked. As Shen Haoran was worried that Li Mazi would harm himself, he ignored his fears. Holding the talisman, he shakily ran to the next room to get me.


    After listening to him, my face turned even darker. IliftedLi Mazis shirt to his shoulders. Indeed, there were two ckhandprintson his shoulders. It seemed the female ghost had pressed on his shoulder.


    It was no wonder why the female ghost didnt move when I hit herearlier. I didnt pay attention, but she had taken the time toe here to hurt Li Mazi!


    Although I was displeasedthatShen Haorans friends didnt even try to help Li Mazi, I knew they were just ordinary people. It was understandable that the ghostwould scare thecrapout of them. With a dark face, I told them, Nothing will happenter tonight. You can rest now.Then, I returned to Oranges room.


    After the incident, Orange still hadnt woken up.Her breaths weregradual, but the talisman on her body had turned into ashes.


    The female ghostwas intimidating beyond my estimation. I took a deep breathand thoughtthat I would have to study her tomorrow. Otherwise, I wasnt sure if Li Mazi and I coulde back this time


    It was after midnight, andI slept as soon as I touched the bed.


    The white face kept showing up in my discontinued dreams. Finally, I sawits appearanceclearly. It seemed Li Yu didnt mean harm to me. I saw him smile at me. The imperial aura on him was outstanding.


    He was walking around and holdinganelegant fan. I followed himas I wantedto see what he wanted to do. The meandering path ledto a gardenwhere a young woman was dancing beautifully. However, I didnt see the womans face. Ifeltshe must be a beautiful woman.


    Li Yu stood asideand smiled. He looked at the young woman dancing. Hisfacewasfull of affection and pain.


    I didnt know what he meantbythis. Why did he want to show me this scene?


    The young woman danced faster and faster. When she spunaround, I could only see herswirling, big sleeves. She looked like she was floating. Suddenly,hermovements halted as if someone had interrupted her. Shendedhardwhile spinning. She fell and spurted blood, her blood slowly seepinginto the ground.


    No,Im not willing!The woman suddenly lifted her headand shoutedat us. The dream went dead silent. Iwokeup with head-splitting pain.Many people were surroundingmy bed, except for Li Mazi and Orangewhohadntwokenup yet. Looking at them, I knew I had just done something weird.


    Shen Haoran worriedly looked at me. Youve been screaming Ehuang something.


    Iunderstoodsomethingquickly.Ehuang, Ehuang...Was that Zhou Ehuang?


    Zhou Ehuang was Queen Zhou, Li Yus first wife. She was famous for her dance that could mesmerize people. Recalling the dance I had seen in my dream, I knew it must be her. It was no wonder she said that Li Yuhad betrayedher a thousand years ago.


    Nomatter howgentlea womanwas,shewould never standthat her husband was having an affair with her sister whileshe was seriously ill!It seemed the female ghost was Zhou Ehuang. Butwhat wasthe role of Li Yu, who had walked out of the painting?


    After recalling that Orange had strokedthe scroll of the painting, I somehow got it.The scroll was the otherworldly item where Li Yudwelled, and Zhou Ehuang just happened to possess Orange!
