Chapter 226 Scumbag! Unnecessary

After all, the Ying Family has too many loyal retainers who can transfer curses at any time.

Furthermore, if the Ancestor of the Ying Family or a powerful Ghost Emperor or Ghost Lord were to act, they could protect Ying Rui, greatly reducing the effect of Nangong Wan’er’s curse, or even making it ineffective!

Although Nangong Wan’er is a Resentful Body (Resentful Body), she has not fully matured yet, so her threat to those above Ghost Emperor is not enough.

Otherwise, Ying Rui would have long since perished!

The same principle applies to Third Young Master Song now.

If Third Young Master Song does not leave the Song Family, it will not be easy for Nangong Wan’er to curse him to death.

A determined look appeared in Nangong Wan’er’s eyes: “Mr. Si doesn’t need to worry; Wan’er is confident that even if the Ancestor of the Song Family acts, he won’t be able to save him.”

Si Yan’s gaze lingered on her for a few seconds, then he said indifferently: “Unless you pay with your own life. Otherwise, I don’t see how you could curse him to death. So, are you planning a one-for-one exchange?”

Nangong Wan’er’s thoughts were exposed.

She did have such an idea!

Now, in her mind, atonement has become her new obsession.

And after learning Third Young Master Song’s true colors, Nangong Wan’er felt incredibly ashamed of her past!

“Mr. Si doesn’t need to worry; Wan’er is confident she won’t die.”

Nangong Wan’er said.

Si Yan shook his head: “Such a scumbag is not worth your life. If you truly want to atone, just cooperate with me these next few days.”

“I will fully cooperate with Mr. Si!”

Nangong Wan’er said.

“Good, go rest first.”

Si Yan said.

“Mr. Si, please take this room; I’ll stay in the side room.”

Nangong Wan’er gave the master bedroom of the suite to Si Yan.

Si Yan did not refuse.

After entering the bedroom, Si Yan quickly left through the contract, reappearing in Ying Rui’s room.

Two days had passed, and he could visit Ying Rui again.

“Mr. Si.”

Ying Rui was very happy to see Si Yan arrive.

Si Yan saw that she was still imprisoned, but the maid Xiao Lian had come in.

Si Yan moved a large wooden tub and a large amount of medicinal soup from the Space of Guile; he had obtained these from Liu Yiyi.

“Miss Ying, please go in first; I will help you break through to Ghost Lord!”

Si Yan said.

This was a two-pronged approach.

There was still at least half a month until the divorce ceremony, and Si Yan wanted to see if he could help Ying Rui break through to Ghost Lord in that time.

Coming once every two days, Si Yan would fully activate his skills, combined with a large amount of medicinal ingredients, there was a certain chance of success.

As he spoke, Si Yan had already turned around.

“All right, Mr. Si.”

Ying Rui removed all her clothes and entered the wooden tub.

Si Yan began to activate his skills for her.

The potency of the medicinal soup diminished quickly, but Si Yan had brought a great deal from Liu Yiyi.

After replacing it, he continued.

Thus, two hours quickly passed, and Si Yan left after leaving behind a good amount of medicinal ingredients.

Returning to his room, Si Yan fell into an exhausted sleep.

The next morning, Si Yan woke up.

“Mr. Si ~”

Nangong Wan’er was already waiting outside; Si Yan saw that she was holding a breakfast.

“I asked Xiao Rong to buy this outside.”

Nangong Wan’er said.

After Si Yan finished eating, he and Nangong Wan’er set off together for the tall building.

They soon entered the tall building.

There were already many zombies inside.

Each of these zombies had a player with them.

The players’ task this time was to identify whether the poems written by the zombies came from the real world.

Si Yan estimated that some zombies would probably force players to come up with poems that no one else could think of.

“The rules of this poetry gathering are very simple. Yunxi Tower has 18 floors in total. We will challenge 4-5 floors each day, and a ‘Poetry Laureate’ will be chosen from each floor. The Poetry Laureate’s poem and name will be carved on a pillar as a sign of honor, how about it?”

Third Young Master Song spoke.

“Good!”

The other zombies readily agreed.

“On the first floor, let’s start with beauties! There are many beauties in Beijiang, and the most beautiful is none other than Miss Situ Mingyue, the Pearl of Beijiang! For this floor, let’s use poetry to describe Miss Situ’s beauty, how about it?”

Third Young Master Song said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other zombies all looked at a Female Zombie.

Si Yan also looked over.

This Female Zombie had appeared at some unknown time.

Si Yan had not seen her yesterday.

“Mr. Si, this is Situ Mingyue, the Pearl of Beijiang: her beauty is on par with Miss Ying. She seems to be here to discuss business with the Song Family, but he’s already going to marry Miss Ying, yet he still wants to win Situ Mingyue’s favor.”

Nangong Wan’er’s soft voice sounded in Si Yan’s ear.

Now, Nangong Wan’er also saw through Third Young Master Song’s philandering nature.

The Song Family was already arranging his marriage with Ying Rui.

Yet this fellow still wanted to flirt with Situ Mingyue, who was as famous as Ying Rui!

“Good, Miss Situ is so beautiful, let me go first ~”

As soon as Third Young Master Song finished speaking, a zombie eagerly stood up.

Then, he began to recite a poem, swaying his head.

“In the north, a bright pearl like the moon, a hibiscus-like face, a beauty’s makeup!”

“Good ~”

As soon as he finished reciting his poem, several zombie young masters who knew him immediately applauded.

There was also a zombie holding a brush, writing down his poem.

The other zombie young masters were quietly asking the players beside them if this poem existed in the real world.

“It’s my turn ~”

Immediately, another zombie young master impatiently stood out.

Not only did Third Young Master Song want to win Situ Mingyue’s favor.

These zombie young masters, each equivalent to the ancient pampered young masters, also wanted to win Situ Mingyue’s favor.

In terms of status, some of the zombie young masters here were not inferior to Third Young Master Song.

Some were slightly inferior, mainly because their families were not as prominent as the Song Family.

But the difference was not too great.

Soon, this zombie young master also finished his poem.

Some acquaintances also cheered him on, then asked the players beside them if they had heard this poem before.

After finishing the poem, this zombie young master even began to explain it.

He seemed particularly satisfied with his poem.

Situ Mingyue’s expression remained unchanged; she appeared even colder than Ying Rui.

No.

Ying Rui was equally aloof in front of others.

Only Si Yan could see her tender side, like flowing water.

Thus, the zombie young masters recited their poems one after another.

Situ Mingyue stood there throughout, offering no response.

She was so aloof, yet these zombie young masters didn’t seem to mind, probably knowing her personality.

Each of them exerted their utmost effort, hoping to elicit some change in Situ Mingyue’s gaze.

It seemed as if whoever could move Situ Mingyue would win!

All their poems were copied down.

There was also a zombie holding a thick poetry collection, searching through it.

Looking for any similar verses.

This poetry collection, needless to say, came from the real world.

These zombie young masters, it seemed, had been fooled in the past, so they were more cautious now.

Thus, three hours later.

All twenty-odd male zombie young masters, except Third Young Master Song, had finished their poems.

“I am the host, so I’ll go last. Do any of the young ladies have poems to offer?”

Third Young Master Song looked at the Zombie Misses.

“We’ll let you have this round; we won’t participate.”

A Zombie Miss said.

Let her write a poem to praise Situ Mingyue’s beauty?

She wouldn’t do it!

Although Situ Mingyue was indeed very beautiful, these young ladies from Zombie Families would not admit inferiority.

The other Zombie Misses also nodded in agreement.

“Then I’ll go!”

Third Young Master Song spoke and composed a poem.

“In the north, a woman like the bright moon, graceful as a light cloud, eyes like stars. May I ask where this woman resides? She is originally a fairy descended to the mortal realm.”

This poem sounded quite good, giving a refreshing feeling.

Even some Zombie Misses’ eyes slightly brightened.

Situ Mingyue, usually aloof, also raised her gaze slightly.

This action was not seen from the other zombie young masters!

“Good, Third Young Master Song has excellent literary talent ~”

Some zombie young masters applauded.

Third Young Master Song looked at Situ Mingyue with a hint of smugness: “Miss Situ, now it’s up to you to choose the Poetry Laureate for this floor, how about it?”

As he spoke, more than twenty zombies had already unfurled all the poems written by the zombie young masters, standing in a line, displaying them before Situ Mingyue.

Third Young Master Song was confident that she would choose his poem.

Because his poem was indeed the best on the spot.

Situ Mingyue’s gaze swept over all the poems.

Finally, it lingered on Third Young Master Song’s poem.

“Wait, I have another poem here.”

At this moment, Nangong Wan’er’s voice rang out.

Third Young Master Song got a headache when he saw Nangong Wan’er, but he still had to say: “Please, Miss Nangong, compose a poem.”

Nangong Wan’er spoke after everyone’s gaze was fixed on her!

“In the north, there is a fair lady.”

She paused at the first line.

This line alone made many zombies present feel that it was extraordinary, and they all listened intently.

Even Situ Mingyue’s eyes brightened slightly, and she also looked at Nangong Wan’er.

“Peerless and independent.”

The second line came.

The destructive power of this line was even greater; Situ Mingyue’s eyes completely lit up, and there was clearly some emotion in her expression.

Peerless and independent!

This poem was simply too suitable for her.

“One glance can overturn a city, another glance can overturn a kingdom!”

The third and fourth lines came!

At this, the eyes of all the zombie young masters lit up.

Situ Mingyue’s eyes were even like stars.

“Would you not know the overturning of cities and kingdoms? A beauty like this is hard to find again!”

The last two lines of the poem came.

“Good!”

A zombie young master couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.

“Excellent, this poem is simply indescribably wonderful!”

“I didn’t expect Miss Nangong to compose such a fine poem!”

The other zombie young masters spoke up one after another.

They praised Nangong Wan’er’s poem endlessly!

Third Young Master Song’s expression darkened. He asked the player beside him, and the player shook his head.

The look in his eyes became even darker.

“Miss Situ, how is my poem?”

Nangong Wan’er asked, looking at Situ Mingyue.

Situ Mingyue seemed to have just recovered from the beauty of the poem: “Excellent! Miss Nangong, may I have this poem?”

Nangong Wan’er did not answer her question, but instead said: “Since that is the case, please, Miss Situ, choose the Poetry Laureate first!”

A zombie had already copied the poem and presented it.

Situ Mingyue did not hesitate at all, pointing to the poem she had just recited.

Third Young Master Song’s expression was gloomy, he was incredibly vexed.

But he still didn’t dare to provoke Nangong Wan’er.

Moreover, in public, he had to maintain his composure.

“Since Miss Situ has chosen, then this poem shall be the Poetry Laureate of the first floor. I will have this poem and Miss Nangong’s name carved on the pillar.”

Third Young Master Song said, changing his demeanor.

“Wait, this poem was given to me by Mr. Si. If a name is to be carved, let it be Mr. Si’s name.”

Nangong Wan’er spoke again.

“Who is Mr. Si?”

Third Young Master Song asked.

Nangong Wan’er looked at Si Yan and made a gesture of introduction: “This is Mr. Si, he is my friend.”

Third Young Master Song then saw Si Yan.

His eyes immediately filled with anger!

A human, actually stealing his thunder! (End of Chapter)
