Chapter 158 He is so outstanding, why don’t you marry him?

But Nangong Wan’er was unwilling to admit it, so she could only act shamelessly.

Si Yan looked at her: “How long have you known that Third Master Song?”

Nangong Wan’er tilted her head, looking resigned: “If you want to kill me, then kill me. Don’t even think I’ll tell you! Even if I die, there’s no way I’ll let him marry another woman.”

“I won’t marry him; you’re overthinking it.”

At this moment, Ying Rui spoke.

“You won’t? He’s so excellent, and you won’t marry him?”

Nangong Wan’er didn’t quite believe Ying Rui’s words.

“Only you like him and think he’s excellent. A man like him, the first time I saw him, I felt disgusted. You probably don’t know, but I came out this time precisely to escape a marriage.”

After a pause, Ying Rui continued.

Escaping a marriage?!

These two words stunned Nangong Wan’er.

Ying Rui’s words were clearly unexpected by her.

She also didn’t know that Ying Rui had come out this time to escape a marriage!

“Miss Nangong, why don’t you consider, if Miss Ying wasn’t escaping a marriage, as long as she returned to the Ying Family, what could your curse do to Miss Ying?”

The Old Zombie also spoke.

Although the Ying Family didn’t have very good doctors, Nangong Wan’er didn’t know this point.

While the Ying Family had no doctors, it possessed some precious treasures to resist curses.

Moreover, if Ying Rui truly returned, Nangong Wan’er wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly.

Nangong Wan’er looked at Ying Rui: “Are you telling the truth?”

Ying Rui replied with certainty in her tone: “Of course.”

After a few seconds of eye contact with Ying Rui, Nangong Wan’er knew.

What Ying Rui said was true!

This immediately left Nangong Wan’er a bit bewildered!

She probably hadn’t expected that the person she was so determined to kill had no intention of marrying the Third Master Song she admired.

Then why had she been chasing after her?

And paid a considerable price, along with over a month of time!

She even risked sparking a war between the two Zombie Families if she were discovered because of this incident!

Nangong Wan’er fell silent.

Before, she had never communicated with Ying Rui at all; Ying Rui didn’t even know it was her doing.

And presumably, in her eyes, given Third Master Song’s excellence,

it was impossible for Ying Rui not to marry Third Master Song.

Seeing Nangong Wan’er fall silent, Ying Rui released her.

“You’re letting me go?”

Nangong Wan’er looked at Ying Rui, a little surprised.

She hadn’t expected Ying Rui to release her.

Of course, she had already been caught once.

If Ying Rui didn’t want to let her go, even if she tried to escape now, Ying Rui could still catch her back.

Her strength, compared to Ying Rui’s, was ultimately far inferior.

As for curses, those also needed time to take effect.

Unless it was that kind of incredibly venomous curse, made at the cost of one’s life.

Ying Rui said: “I can let the matter of you cursing me before go. But if you ever target me or Mister again in the future, even if you choose to perish together with me, I will eliminate you!”

Her tone carried determination.

Ying Rui did not choose to kill Nangong Wan’er or seek revenge against her.

Si Yan could also guess the reason for Ying Rui’s actions.

Nangong Wan’er, being a Resentful Entity, if she were killed,

she could drag someone down with her in her dying moments.

This was also why no one wanted to provoke a Resentful Entity.

Even if you killed the other party, they would retaliate with the most vicious curse just before death.

Unless you were incredibly strong, otherwise you would also be finished.

Nangong Wan’er’s dying curse would instantly erupt with astonishing power, which even Ying Rui would find very difficult to withstand.

If Nangong Wan’er chose to drag Si Yan down, even if Si Yan currently had strong curse resistance, his body wasn’t as robust as Ying Rui’s, and he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

If the curse came too fiercely, there wouldn’t be enough time to dispel it.

Dispelling also required time.

If time wasn’t enough, the curse would directly kill you.

Of course, Si Yan also had a method.

The strongest effect of her curse’s break out would only last a few minutes.

Si Yan could perfectly use the mystic spirit pocket watch when critically injured and dying, freezing time and returning to a previous point in time, thus avoiding the damage caused by the curse.

After using the mystic spirit pocket watch, no matter how severe your previous injuries, as long as you still had a breath left, it would directly revert your physical state to exactly what it was ten minutes ago.

It might even directly dispel the curse.

Because by returning to a past point, Si Yan wouldn’t have been cursed yet.

But whether this could actually be achieved, Si Yan wasn’t entirely certain.

After all, Si Yan hadn’t used the mystic spirit pocket watch yet.

The problem, however, lay in the uncertainty of whether Nangong Wan’er would choose to drag Ying Rui down or Si Yan down.

The mystic spirit pocket watch could only be used by one person.

Furthermore, Ying Rui didn’t know that Si Yan possessed the mystic spirit pocket watch.

Ying Rui’s greatest concern was likely Nangong Wan’er choosing to drag Si Yan down.

Or, Nangong Wan’er might disperse her dying resentment, simultaneously casting curses on both Ying Rui and Si Yan.

Ying Rui would be left half-dead, and Si Yan would likewise be unable to withstand it.

Precisely because of this, Ying Rui chose to let Nangong Wan’er go.

Her choice couldn’t be called soft-hearted; Ying Rui was simply acting out of necessity.

Moreover, in her heart, Nangong Wan’er’s two curses, which led her to meet Si Yan, weren’t entirely bad things.

For the current Ying Rui, as long as Nangong Wan’er didn’t curse again later, she didn’t care.

“Miss Ying, we can’t just let her go like that.”

At this moment, Si Yan spoke.

Ying Rui and Nangong Wan’er both looked at Si Yan.

Si Yan looked at Nangong Wan’er and said: “I don’t care what your reasons were before; since you made a mistake, you must pay the price. Coincidentally, I need a maid. For the next few days, you will serve as my maid to atone for your past actions.”

Nangong Wan’er’s eyes instantly filled with anger: “You want me to be your maid?”

She was the esteemed daughter of a prominent Zombie Family; how could she possibly be a maid for a human!

Si Yan said indifferently: “Indeed! Also, your ordinary curses are useless against me, and please don’t constantly mention death. If you truly want to die, you can commit suicide in front of us. At that time, whether you drag Ying Rui or me down, please feel free, Miss Nangong!”

The four words “Miss Nangong” were emphasized by Si Yan.

Hearing Si Yan’s words, the expression in Nangong Wan’er’s eyes changed repeatedly.

Because Si Yan’s words struck her weak spot.

She… truly didn’t want to die!

If she genuinely wanted to die, she could completely commit suicide and then drag Ying Rui or Si Yan down with her.

But she didn’t want to.

Therefore, her threats of death were actually just bluster.

Of course, if Ying Rui really killed her, she would definitely drag someone down with her.

“Miss Ying, restraining her with malevolent energy, is that alright?”

After Si Yan’s single sentence stunned Nangong Wan’er, he looked at Ying Rui and asked.

“Yes, Mister.”

Ying Rui replied.

Although she had previously said she would let Nangong Wan’er go, after Si Yan spoke, even if it meant breaking her word, Ying Rui immediately took action.

Before Nangong Wan’er could react, Ying Rui used malevolent energy to restrain the malevolent energy within her body.

Some of her vital organs were also restrained by Ying Rui with malevolent energy.

After being restrained, even though Nangong Wan’er’s body was still at the Ghost King level, the strength she could exert was greatly diminished.

She was essentially just a hard lump of iron, nothing more.

She wouldn’t pose much of a threat to the current Si Yan.

Si Yan, holding the zombie short sword given by Ying Rui, which could penetrate her defenses, could even deal with her.

“As for your four subordinates, they might be kept for now to maintain order. If you’re obedient, I can spare them; if not…”

After Ying Rui restrained Nangong Wan’er, Si Yan spoke again.

This time, he only said half the sentence.

Leaving the other half unsaid.

What the unsaid half implied was more than obvious.

The expression in Nangong Wan’er’s eyes changed again and again.

The four Ghost King guards she brought out were not unimportant.

These four zombies were her father’s confidantes.

After all, Ghost King zombies were not very common.

The reason Si Yan had encountered so many these past few days was because he was in a different sphere of contact.

The Ying Family itself was a top-tier Zombie Family, and the Wang Family, where Liu Yiyi resided, was also not simple.

Nangong Wan’er’s Nangong Family was also a Zombie Family with decent strength.

Coupled with those residing in Ruyi Building, who were inherently zombies of considerable strength and wealth.

Ghost King zombies were clustered together!

Naturally, it created the illusion that Ghost King zombies were everywhere.

Therefore, if these four Ghost King zombies were killed, it would be a significant loss for the Nangong Family.

Previously, Nangong Wan’er was solely focused on killing Ying Rui, and since she was in the shadows, she didn’t have to worry too much about losses, so she hadn’t considered these things.

Now, however…

When she learned that Ying Rui had actually run away from an arranged marriage and had no intention of marrying Third Master Song, her goal suddenly seemed ridiculous!
