Set Apart for Ten Years, By The Living And The Dead! (40)

Years ago, in order to survive, the villagers from Zhang Clan Village complied with the words of a mage and buried all the surviving villagers of the Li Clan Village alive.

Even now, when she recalled that incident, Zhang Yunshu felt chills run down her spine and panicked in her heart.

"Cousin, are there no other ways?"

Zhang Yunshu asked weakly.

"Other ways?"

After she heard her words, Li Yan's body suddenly bent and twisted creepily, and her face appeared right before Zhang Yunshu. "Shu Er, my Shu Er. When the people of your Zhang Clan Village wanted to bury us alive years ago, did they think about other ways besides that?"

Monstrous hatred filled Li Yan's eyes.

How could she not hate?

Nobody would not hate or not complain.

"Shu Er, do you know?"

Li Yan placed her small but icy cold hand on Zhang Yunshu's face. With her hoarse and low voice, she continued, "I really hate and blame them for our deaths. No one would die without hating them. Everyone here died with hatred and grievances and became malicious ghosts!"

Li Yan's words made Zhang Yunshu's face pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Even though Li Yan was using Zhang Yan's body, Zhang Yan's face was the most familiar face to Zhang Yunshu, and this became the exact reason Zhang Yunshu felt even more terrified in front of an agonizing and resentful Li Yan.

"Cousin, I… I was helpless. We didn't want to. It was Patriarch who invited the Mage. The Mage asked us to do that!"

"The Mage?"

Hearing Zhang Yunshu's words, Li Yan suddenly laughed hysterically. "Do you know who that Mage is? Do you know why there are no incidences of resentful ghosts of Li Clan Village returning to find you all and claim your lives?"

Speaking of which, Li Yan turned around to face the barren graves, chilling the surrounding air instantly.

"They, all of them, had been refined! The reason the so-called Mage asked you all to bury us alive was so he could collect our agonizing last breaths and grievances to refine him. He was an evil cultivator. He refined agonizing and wronged malicious ghosts to become a diabolical sorcerer!"

What!

Not only Zhang Yunshu was shocked after hearing Li Yan's words, and even Ning Huanxin was utterly surprised.

Diabolical sorcerers existed in this world?

"He refined everyone, and I am the only one left now. It was my unborn child who saved me, and I was not refined."

Speaking of this, the hatred in Li Yan's eyes intensified. She could still remember what that person had said clearly, even till now—

"I didn't expect you, a female ghost, to have the blood of the Feng Family in your belly. Count yourself lucky this time around."

That person was related to the Feng Family.

Did Feng Yuan ask him to come?

"Feng Yuan was a beast." As Li Yan mentioned Feng Yuan, the ghostly air became increasingly active and out of control.

Actually, Li Yan did not even like Feng Yuan. At that time, she just fancied him, and it was a feeling far from liking. But Feng Yuan was good at sweet-talking, especially flirting with girls. Once, he invited her out to tell her stories about what he had experienced in other countries and treated her to a drink from abroad. That day the duo got drunk and engaged in a sexual relationship.

After that, she did not dare to draw attention to their affair and could only accept fate. Since Feng Yuan treated her well and with much gentleness, Li Yan slowly accepted that she had become Feng Yuan's woman.

Before Feng Yuan left, the couple had a sexual experience again, impregnating Li Yan.

Later on, when Zhang Xiao came back alone to save her, Li Yan understood at that moment that Feng Yuan would never appear again.

Feng Yuan merely deceived her.

Who could she blame for her own stupidity?

Seeing that Zhang Xiao foolishly wanted to be Feng Yuan's replacement, leaving everything behind just for her, Li Yan felt very touched. However, she could not let Zhang Xiao make such an enormous sacrifice for her.
