“Do you want to go back on your word?” You Yue asked with a sullen expression. She understood what Ronghua meant after hearing her words!

“Don’t get me wrong!” Ronghua explained, “I never do something meaningless to me!”

“So what?”

Ronghua made a flame on her hand, “My fire is stronger than yours. I can find the one I am looking for, even without your help. So, what’s your value?”

You Yue had nothing to say.

“You are pretty smart and should know what I mean!”

Ronghua could go back on her word now, for she hadn’t helped You Yue and didn’t accept her fire. Perhaps she intended to leave a way out!

Ronghua had said she had a more robust flame, so her purpose was much more than that. You Yue wondered what Ronghua wanted to do!

You Yue asked in a low voice, “What do you really want?” Ronghua must want to negotiate with her, for she had gotten rid of the two people!

“What I want is simple!”

“What?”

“Actually,” Ronghua kept her guessing, “I want you to help me find several old guys!”

“Who are you?”

Ronghua looked at her calmly, with her eyes fixed to the sky.

You Feng woke up and found that she was in a sea of Manjusaka flowers. It was her favorite flower before her death.

Different from some meretricious flowers favored by most people, Manjusaka was an ominous flower, but it had been planted all around the bamboo house where she lived.

“You’re awake!” Hearing the voice, You Feng seemed to be hit by something. She immediately turned around and saw a young man in red. He had white skin and long hair on his back, lying in the flowers lazily, with one hand supporting his body and the other hand holding a blooming Manjusaka.

What an uninhibited young person!

“Who are you?” She asked in a low voice, controlling her voice not to tremble as much as possible.

“Don’t you know who I am?” he asked, smiling.

“It’s strange for what you have said. How could I know who you are?”

Finally, she didn’t expect that he would turn around and stare at her, which frightened her and made her unable to move. She almost shivered, so she dared not look at him.

“The Evil King of Ghosts!”

“Hum?”

He stretched his hand and gave her a Manjusaka, “They call me the Evil King of Ghosts!”

You Feng was stunned and had a little difficulty in breathing. She had seen the flower on his hand but didn’t want to take it, for she was afraid that her hand was too trembling to get the flower.

He asked, smiling, “Don’t you like it?”

“No!”

“Oh! What is the reason?”

“I....”

She realized that he was asking her, so she closed her mouth immediately. Otherwise, she would tell him the truth.

The Evil King of Ghosts laughed out loud, while You Feng was at a loss. She dared not look steadily at him, which made him feel curious about her.

“Do you know the flower?”

He changed the topic and didn’t tease her, making her breathe a sigh of relief. She raised her hand, saying, “I don’t know.”

“Oh! Really?” He didn’t believe it.

“I don’t know!”

The Evil King of Ghosts sat up after she finished saying.

But You Feng was so scared that she wanted to hide somewhere. She must have overthought, for he didn’t do anything except sitting up straightly.

“Then let me tell you!”

You Feng lowered her head and didn’t want to look at him, for she felt tired!

“I heard the name of the flower for the first time from my teacher! She told me that Manjusaka is a guidance flower planted on the bank of the Three-way River. It said that its fragrance has magic power and can arouse the living memory of dead people. But the flower blooms only in the netherworld, as the unique scenery of the netherworld.”

You Feng breathed more quickly, which was seen by the Evil King of Ghosts, making him smile more obviously.

“So, do you think what I have said is wrong?” he asked all of a sudden. You Feng raised her head, calmly replying, “No, you are right!”

“Oh! It’s wrong!”

“What?” What was wrong?

“I didn’t say that. It was what my teacher had said.”

You Feng turned around and didn’t want to communicate with him.

The Evil King of Ghosts didn’t mind, continuing, “My teacher has said that Manjusaka means beauty and also has an implied meaning, namely the tenderness of devils.”

You Feng raised her head, indifferently, “Why do you tell me these? And why do you bring me here?”

The Evil King of Ghosts didn’t smile and pressed down on her when she was absent-minded. You Feng’s eyes were wide open, and she didn’t expect his behavior, so she held him unconsciously.

She was covered by him and couldn’t move at all. But somehow, You Feng felt at ease, without other feelings. Why could she be like this?

“You don’t know how to refuse!”

His words were frivolous, making You Feng blush. She wanted to push him away, growling, “Get up! Right now!”

“Ha-Ha-Ha! Are you angry?”

He continued teasing her, with his fingers hooking her fair, saying, “You can’t threaten me!”

You Feng calmed down, thinking about how to make him get up, “What do you want?”

Only when she satisfied him could he promise her request!

But!

“I just want to be close to you!”

You Feng got annoyed, but her ears flushed. Then her neck also flushed.

He asked uncertainly, “Are you shy?”

You Feng didn’t reply, turning around and didn’t look at him. She was afraid that she would kill him if she continued looking at him!

If he didn’t want to do it, even though you put a knife around his neck, he would calmly and humorously tell you how you cut him to make him quickly die, and he could also guide you on how to kill people efficiently.

She wondered how his temper changed, but now she didn’t have the energy to think about it. Even though he became a person whom people all over the world reviled, it had nothing to do with her.

“It’s up to you. You can hold me as long as you want. Anyway, I won’t talk with you anymore.”

Then, You Feng didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to do something unfruitful and didn’t believe that he could do something terrible!

You Feng calmed down and didn’t say a word. She turned back and didn’t look at him, making him feel sad.

“I just make a casual comment. Don’t be angry.”

His words had a little inconspicuous coquetry, but she didn’t appreciate his kindness.

“You don’t talk to me?”

You Feng blinked and didn’t want to hear his words. Because she had no resistance to him, and she was so quickly softhearted when facing him.

“Since you don’t want to talk....”

Did he mean that he would let her go? She turned around and almost got stuck in the tenderness in his eyes when looking at him. What was she doing?

The Evil King of Ghosts’ eyes had a magic power, which quickly made her get drowned in them.

He held her up, turned around, and left the sea of flowers.

This series of acts made You Feng dizzy. Then she saw a small courtyard surprising her.

It was a small courtyard which couldn’t be more familiar to her anymore.

“How about this place? Do you like it?”

“Yes, I like it. But?” Hadn’t it burnt out? How could it be restored so well?

It must be him, undoubtedly. Only he was so familiar with this place.

You Feng closed her eyes and didn’t believe it.

“It’s pretty nice.”

He felt it was all worth it after getting her praise. Only this place could arouse the true memories in her heart.

She asked calmly, “Where is it?”

Her question made him stunned before he could smile.

“Just a small courtyard!”

You Feng was astounded, choking back her tears, “Oh! It’s pretty good.”

“Really? I’m glad you like it.”

You Feng walked over step by step, sighing with emotion.

“You can rest in it for a while! I need to go out. Besides, don’t try to escape. Otherwise, I’ll get you back and lock you here forever.”

You Feng lowered her head, silent. When she raised her head, he had left, leaving some petals in the air.

A person with a bamboo hat was sitting under a bamboo pavilion, drinking the brewed tea. She tasted it for a while and thought it was time for him to show up.

“This is the third cup. You come here too late!”

A man came from the black mist, standing with his hands at the back. After seeing her sitting on one side, he sat opposite to her without hesitation.

He asked, “Don’t you intend to explain it?”

She gave him a cup of tea, replying, “Explain what? Your lover?”

He became sullen, growling, “She is not my lover. I am not even sure yet, understand?”

She stroked the teacup, “I have said you would come to me and beg for something. Now you believe it?”

The Evil King of Ghosts took out one thing, patting the table with one hand, “I kind of suspect it is fake. What can it summon? Is it her?”

The woman in white put down the bamboo hat on the table, with her face exposed. It turned out she was Ronghua.

“I have told you it has the side effect, but you didn’t listen to me and directly used it. Besides, I also said that you would come to me when you were about to leave. Am I right?”

“You did it on purpose!”

The Evil King of Ghosts smiled at her, with terrifying coldness.

“It is a dangerous thing. You have been looking for it and want it to help you find the soul. Now you have found it, but you come to tell me it is fake. Do you want to abandon it after you realize your desire?”

Ronghua wasn’t so kind.

“Besides, I didn’t ask you anything when you took it. It was free, indeed. Although it has a problem, it is none of my business. I have already warned you, but you go your own way. How could you blame me?”

Her words made the Evil King of Ghosts speechless.

“Even so, I get it from you, so you need to help me. Otherwise, I will let you regret meeting me.”

He put on a smirk and knew only she could solve the problem. Otherwise, she wouldn’t wait here for him.

Ronghua took a sip of tea slowly.

“Do you know who the last one threatening me is?”

“I don’t know. But I know one person would have no good end if he or she dared threaten you. I am different from them because I am not a human. You don’t know how long I have lived, and you could do nothing if I wanted to do something bad to you. Besides, I have nothing to lose.”

Ronghua smiled at him, thinking to herself, “Was he arranging his affairs which he hasn’t achieved?”

“All right!”

“You promise?”

“I can help you, but I have a request!”

“What’s it?”

“Contract with me!”
