Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Du Changheng, your life is short-lived

Qin Ruan glanced at Du Changheng lying not far away, a thoughtful look on her face.

After a while, she murmured, "Du Changheng is the scholar from another lifetime?"

Her tone was filled with certainty.

"Yes, it’s him."

With a subtle movement, Lingfeng revealed her embroidered maple-leaf shoes, stepping slowly towards Du Changheng.

She squatted in front of him, a look of sorrow on her face, her tone filled with melancholy, "Du Lang, why won’t you acknowledge Feng? Have you forgotten our promises of undying love?"

Her voice was thick with emotion and a touch of feminine gentleness, evoking compassion.

Du Changheng, who was lying on the ground, was quivering non-stop, his head buried in the ground as if pretending to be dead.

Seeing this, Qin Ruan’s red lips curled into a sarcastic smile.

She walked over to Du Changheng’s side and kicked him lightly on the shoulder.

"Quit playing dead."

Du Changheng stayed still.

Qin Ruan gave a laugh of exasperation, reached down, and hauled him off the ground by his clothing.

"Let go of me! Let go of me! I’m not him! I’m not that scholar, I’m Du Changheng, not some young master Du!!!"

Hoisted in the air, Du Changheng struggled violently, protesting loudly with a sad tone.

His voice was hoarse and filled with panic.

Qin Ruan’s eyes narrowed as she watched Du Changheng.

His forehead was sunken and his expressions were dull, signs of a person bound to die early. His restless gaze reflected his half-submerged posture in the grave.

This man was doomed.

"You want his life?" Qin Ruan asked directly, looking into Lingfeng’s eyes.

The intense hatred radiating from Lingfeng confirmed her intentions. "Of course, I can’t let the pain of soul separation go unpunished."

"If your hands are stained with blood, your centuries of cultivation will be destroyed in a moment, is it worth it?"

Qin Ruan’s voice was indifferent, with a hint of regret.

Reaching out, she touched Du Changheng’s neck.

Her delicate hand pulled out a jade plaque from his collar.

The jade plaque was the main reason why Lingfeng and Xiaomei, who were full of evil qi, could not approach Du Changheng.

The plaque radiated strands of white light, which had the power to resist evil Qi.

Regrettably, it had been used too many times and cracks could now be seen in the centre of the jade plaque.

If Lingfeng and Xiaomei were determined to kill him, this plaque could only protect Du Changheng three more times at most.

With a strong pull, Qin Ruan tugged off the jade plaque from Du Changheng’s neck.

She casually tossed it away, and Du Changheng was thrown to the ground.

Lingfeng’s eyes flickered, her eerie gaze fixed onto Du Changheng. The faint red shimmer in her eyes was clear proof of her murderous intent.

Qin Ruan suddenly smiled, as if a memory had surfaced, making her face even more enticing.

"Once, someone told me, death is a relief for enemies. The ultimate torment is to let them live and eternally regret."

These were once said by a man named Huo during his first visit to her and her child’s grave at Wanbao Mountain after they had avenged them.

Death was not a punishment, but a relief for enemies.

Lingfeng’s eyes dimmed, her face filled with a peculiar expression.

Qin Ruan’s eyes brimming with laughter, "I won’t stop you from seeking revenge but I need to take Du Changheng away. He has some entanglement with my friend. Once their problems are resolved, you can do whatever you want."

"You really mean it?"

Lingfeng scowled, her face full of suspicion.

Upon hearing the plans for his impending fate, Du Changheng instantly went berserk.

He glared at Qin Ruan, "No! You have no right to do this! I want to leave this place! You’re all crazy, all of you are crazy!"

Getting up from the ground, Du Changheng beseechingly looked at Ling Xiaoxuan.

"Xiaoxuan, save me. We were supposed to get married after we graduated from college. Save me, once we get out of this haunted place, I will take care of you!"
