Chapter 545: Chapter 545: The Soul-Claiming Ghost

Lishi and Zhan Xuerou pushed each other, and were forcefully shoved out. Lishi’s body was ultimately not as young as Zhan Xuerou’s.

She hit her head against the wall, and Zhan Xuerou’s mind became chaotic because she heard a dull sound. Blood instantly flowed from Lishi’s head, and she fell heavily to the ground.

Lishi’s expression was vacant from the impact, her pupils contracted sharply as she looked at Zhan Xuerou with a gaze full of hatred.

"Debt collector... I gave birth to a debt collector..."

A large stream of blood flowed down Lishi’s forehead, her eyes went black, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Zhan Xuerou covered her mouth, her legs trembling as she stepped forward, using her fingers to check in front of Lishi’s nose, only to find that Lishi no longer had any breath.

Her face turned deathly pale, she took several steps back, her heart filled with fear, she had killed Lishi, she had personally killed her own mother!

Lishi was dead!

Zhan Xuerou’s scalp tingled, suddenly she heard a guard’s scolding voice, "What’s going on, you two trying to get a beating?!"

Zhan Xuerou’s eyes moved, she couldn’t let the guards find out that she had accidentally killed Lishi. She suddenly screamed, "Ah, mother!"

Her cries immediately attracted the attention of the guards, two guards rushed over, seeing Zhan Xuerou holding Lishi and crying bitterly.

Although Zhan Xuerou hated Lishi extremely, at the moment of Lishi’s death, she suddenly felt that there were no more blood relatives in this world.

She cried with half sincerity and half pretense, Lishi was dead, Zhan Lan would retaliate against her even more severely, wouldn’t he!

Zhan Xuerou stroked the blood on Lishi’s forehead with her thin hand, crying emotionally.

The guard said coldly, "What exactly happened?"

Zhan Xuerou replied with tears, "My mother couldn’t face the future, she committed suicide..."

The reason she found was reasonable, Lishi had previously attempted suicide too, earlier the two guards heard Zhan Xuerou and Lishi scuffling, but mutual harm was a norm between them, which was also what the Empress Dowager was pleased to see, so even if the guards knew there was falsehood in Zhan Xuerou’s words, they were after all responsible for watching Lishi and Zhan Xuerou, poor guarding was also their responsibility.

So the two exchanged a glance and said, "Alright, stop crying, the ones escorting you away will arrive shortly, we will report your mother’s suicide truthfully to the Empress Dowager."

Zhan Xuerou also wanted to die, she didn’t want to endure those humiliations, she looked at the wall where Lishi had killed herself, Lishi’s bloodstains still on it, but even mustering up courage, she dared not kill herself.

She was unwilling!

Things hadn’t reached their worst yet, as long as she could get out, there might still be a turnaround.

And she didn’t know, this decision would make her regret for a lifetime.

"Hold her down!" The short guard noticed Zhan Xuerou’s eyes fixed on the wall, if Zhan Xuerou killed herself by hitting her head, how would they explain it to the Empress Dowager?

The tall guard immediately entered the cell, yanking Zhan Xuerou away and tying her up.

In less than the time it takes for an incense to burn, two men with sinister expressions took Zhan Xuerou away.

Zhan Xuerou, though blindfolded, could still vaguely see the sunlight through the black cloth.

In the biting cold of winter, even the sunlight was reluctant to warm her.

Zhan Xuerou was roughly pushed into a carriage, and after a cup of tea’s time, they finally reached their destination.

Zhan Xuerou was shoved to the ground.

"Gui Shisan, come take a look, we’ve got a new one." The newcomer said in a gruff voice.

The man named Gui Shisan walked over with half a ghost mask, grinning as he sized up Zhan Xuerou, "Yo, you dare to bring me this kind of goods?"

The newcomer curled his lips into a smile, step to Gui Shisan’s side, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Make sure to properly torture this woman, it’s what the higher-ups want."

"What the higher-ups want, even you know I only accept vicious criminals, has this person committed a crime?" Gui Shisan asked, surprised.

The newcomer gave Gui Shisan a meaningful look, "In Dayu, who is heaven?"

Gui Shisan suddenly understood, his expression immediately changing, bowing respectfully he said, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her."

"Her identity is... what crime did she commit?"

After the newcomer briefly described Zhan Xuerou’s misdeeds, he warned, "Don’t torture her to death, just let her experience hell on earth, remember, don’t kill her, be mindful of the extent!"

"When Gui Shisan does something, there’s no need to worry."

The newcomer curled his lips, "Then I’m at ease."

"How much Silver do you need?" Gui Shisan asked.

The newcomer waved his hand, "No need, just make sure she doesn’t die, torture her well."

Gui Shisan laughed sinisterly, "Rest assured, entering my Gui Shisan’s domain is like entering hell, she won’t have a good time!"

The newcomer nodded satisfactorily.

Zhan Xuerou, although unable to hear what they were saying, could be sure that she had arrived at an extremely terrifying place, the sinister screams and whipping sounds made her hair stand on end, as if stared at by a viper.

She heard footsteps leaving, then someone approaching.

The black cloth blindfolding her was suddenly torn off, revealing a man wearing a ghost mask.

Gui Shisan bent down, pinching her chin with his hand, "Yo, your face is not bad, cleaned up, it might be able to meet guests."

Zhan Xuerou, hearing the words ’meet guests’, shrank back in fear, pleading, "I can serve as a slave, can’t you not make me meet guests."

Gui Shisan sneered, "With your ghostly look, you still dream of meeting guests!"

The people nearby burst into laughter.

Gui Shisan smiled insidiously, "Go, take her down, clean her up, and tonight she can meet guests."

"Yes!"

Zhan Xuerou was taken away by two people holding her arms, she wanted to shout but feared these vicious-looking people would torture her even more.

Her arms were painfully dragged by the people, after being cleaned up, she was taken away.

Gui Shisan saw her in white clothes, though thin, but her features were quite pretty, so he said, "Her price is five Silver, take her away!"

"Yes!" answered the subordinate with the ghost mask respectfully.

Zhan Xuerou had a pill stuffed into her mouth, she wanted to spit it out but couldn’t.

Blindfolded with black cloth, she was taken to a place, then the black cloth was suddenly removed. As she opened her eyes, she was so frightened by the scene that she almost died on the spot.
