Chapter 85 Hatred Summoned

The sun was about to set, and the twelve hunters stopped their horses in front of a small tavern on the outskirts of town. The twelve dismounted and entered the tavern.

The twelve men rested at two tables. After a while, the lady boss brought them food, the twelve people started to eat, and a white horse stopped at the entrance of the tavern.

Tian Xiang and Yu Lei, who were sitting facing the door, saw Yang Chuntao walk into the tavern. Yu Lei frowned, "Chuntao junior...?"

Yang Chuntao came in, put the bag on the ground, and sat beside Guozhao Zhiqiang. She picked up Guozhao Zhiqiang's teacup and drank his tea. After putting the cup on the table, she said, "It's rude to leave a letter and leave." She looked at everyone on the table. "None of you thought I'd figure out where you're going?"

Tian Xiang asked, "Who told you?"

Yang Chuntao grabbed Guozhao Zhiqiang's chopsticks and began to eat. One mouthful of food, she said, "Shan." She looked around. "You all want to say I don't have shame, right?"

Lee Nianzu stood up and went to the front desk to ask for another set of tableware.

Yu Lei sneered, "We haven't said anything yet."

Yang Chuntao stuck her head out and looked at Deming. She said, "Deming, I want to compete fairly with you for Zhiqiang's affection."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Yang Chuntao and said, "No need."

Yang Chuntao continued to eat and said, "Whether you love me or not, it's up to you, and whether I chase you or not, it's up to me."

Guozhao Zhiqiang sighed and said, "Don't waste your time."

Lee Nianzu came back with a set of bowls and chopsticks. He sat down opposite Guozhao Zhiqiang and pushed the bowl and chopsticks to Guozhao Zhiqiang. He smiled and said, "Chuntao junior, let's eat first. If you talk on an empty stomach, conversation can go wrong."

Zheng Yaozu looked over from the other two tables and said, "Junior Chuntao, Nianzu is absolutely correct in this theory."

Tam Kun said, "I tested the theory myself."

The thirteen hunters were eating, and the lady boss came up to ask about the hunters. She smiled and said, "Young men, do you want to book rooms?"

Lee Nianzu asked, "How big is your bed?"

The lady boss smiled and said, "Our big bed can accommodate three people."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "We want five rooms." He looked at Lee Nianzu. "Nianzu, you sleep with me and Deming tonight."

The lady boss smiled and said, "I'm going to prepare the rooms. Oh, I forgot. There's a bathhouse in the back, you can go there if you want to freshen up."

All thanked the lady boss, and they continue eating.

Lee Nianzu looked at Yang Chuntao, who was not satisfied with the sleeping arrangement. He asked, "Chuntao junior, can you sleep alone?"

Yang Chuntao looked around and said, "I'm a big girl, and I'm not afraid of bad wolves.

After eating, Guozhao Zhiqiang and Deming waited until everyone took their bath before entering the bathhouse behind the tavern. Deming sat behind Guozhao Zhiqiang and began to wash his hair.

Guozhao Zhiqiang heard Deming's sigh. He asked, "What's wrong?"

Deming put his arms around Guozhao Zhiqiang's waist and said, "Zhiqiang, why do I have the feeling that Junior Sister Chuntao doesn't like me?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Chuntao likes challenges. Everyone knows that she has liked me for a long time, and she doesn't want to lose face to you."

Deming said, "But if you are speaking about like, I like you longer than she like you."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "By the way, don't think too much. No matter how others suppress you, just let them be."

Deming asked, "Why?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Because in the end, the only person I love will always be you." He turned around and kissed Deming's forehead. "Remember that. Let me wash your hair for you."

Deming said, "No, I'll wash my hair myself. If you're done, you can go and get dressed."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Deming and said, "Deming, what's the matter with you?"

Deming said, "Nothing, I... I just want to soak longer."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "It's been three months now, and you won't let me wash and comb your hair, what's the matter?"

Deming looked at Guozhao Zhiqiang and said sadly, "Zhiqiang, I have something I have been hiding from you."

Guozhao Zhiqiang asked, "What?"

Deming said sadly, "Because you love me so much, I'm afraid that if I tell you, you will be hurt."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Then don't tell me."

Deming said, "But if I don't tell you, and you find out later, you'll be madder at me."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "I can accept anything, just do what your heart tells you to do."

Deming said, "My heart tells me to tell you the truth."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "Then tell me."

Deming stroked his hair, and some of Deming's hair fell out. He reached out the hand with a handful of hair towards Guozhao Zhiqiang. "It's been like this for the past three months," he said. "I thought the hair would grow back when it fell out, but it didn't grow back."

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Deming's head and found bald spots on his skull. "Why didn't you tell me?" he said worriedly.

Deming said, "I'm afraid, you will be worried."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "After the bath, I'll go and call Shan."

Deming said, "Zhiqiang, I still want to soak longer."

Guozhao Zhiqiang hugged Deming in his arms and said, "Don't soak for too long. I'm afraid of you catching a cold. I'll summon Shan." He kissed Deming's forehead. "Don't worry, every step you take, I will stand by your side."

Deming smiled, "Mmm."

Deming watched Guozhao Zhiqiang come out of the bathtub, walked out of the bathhouse, and sighed. Deming knew that as soon as Guozhao Zhiqiang was told about this, Guozhao Zhiqiang would be worried. He washed his hair slowly, being careful not to rub too hard, but even with the gentlest stroke, the hair still fell out.

After Deming got dressed, he walked out of the bathhouse, but was blocked by Yang Chuntao. Deming asked, "Chuntao junior, if you haven't taken a bath, the bathhouse is free now."

Yang Chuntao said, "Who is your junior? You look more junior than me."

Deming said, "Zhiqiang said to call you junior."

Yang Chuntao said, "Deming, I will not lose to you." She looked at Deming frantically.

Emerged from the white fog, and Guozhao Zhiqiang sat on the table. Before Shan could speak, Guozhao Zhiqiang asked, "Shan, using the soul sacrifice technique, are there any side effects such as hair loss?"

Shan said, "I don't know. Why? But."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "But what?"

Shan said, "The price is steep."

Guozhao Zhiqiang asked, "At what price?"

Shan explained, "Do you remember what the person has had to do before they could finish the spell?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang said, "He must sacrifice his own soul to summon the souls of others."

Shan said, "Half of it, but the soul was summoning upon hatred, and that hatred is to seek revenge. So, if an individual does not take revenge within three years, his body will slowly rot. After the entire body was rotten, the soul in the body will become a wandering soul, wandering in the open, anyone can grab to use at they wish. If the summoned soul completes his task within three years, he can live for ten years, but whichever way the individual chooses, the outcome is the same."

Guozhao Zhiqiang said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me all this?"

Shan said, "You didn't ask."

Guozhao Zhiqiang murmured worriedly, "Deming..."

Shan asked, "Zhiqiang, don't worry too much. We still have half a year to take revenge. If Deming succeeds, you will get another ten years to spend with him."

Guozhao Zhiqiang sighed heavily, "Thank you, you can go back now."

Deming looked at Yang Chuntao and said, "Lady Yang, Zhiqiang has already told you his feelings, and his feelings will never change."

Yang Chuntao said, "How do you know that his feelings will not change?"

Deming said, "Zhiqiang told me to ignore your words, and I will do it." He began to walk away from Yang Chuntao.

Yang Chuntao grabbed Deming's back collar, "Wait." Yang Chuntao quickly took out a paper talisman from her inner robe and stuck it on Deming's back. She walked slowly to Deming. "I told you to wait."

Deming saw a person standing behind Yang Chuntao. He rolled his eyes at Yang Chuntao.

Yang Chuntao looked at Deming and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?" She also turned to look in the direction of Deming's eyes rolling to, but there was a heavy blow on her chest. She slid to twenty yards from Deming. She vomited blood. She quickly sent the second talisman in her robe at the person.

The person did two backflips, avoiding the effect of the spell. The person rushed forward, and her sword pointed at Deming's throat.

Li Ming smiled at Deming and said, "Oops, I caught you off guard." She started giggling.

Yang Chuntao wanted to get up but couldn't. She screamed desperately, "Zhiqiang!"

It was Tam Kun and Tam Liang who jumped out of the window from the second floor. Tam Kun conjured his bow and sword and shot an arrow at Li Ming's back. Li Ming quickly avoided Tam Kun's arrow and grabbed Deming's throat. Li Ming quickly dragged Deming towards the wall, but to her surprise, Zheng Tingfeng and Zheng Yaozu were already standing on the rooftop, preventing Li Ming from escaping.

Zheng Yaozu shouted from the top of the wall, "Lady Li, let him go."

Li Ming quickly took down the paper talisman from Deming's back. She laughed softly. Li Ming quickly drew a symbol in the air. She looked towards the bathhouse and saw Guozhao Zhiqiang running towards her and Deming.

Guozhao Zhiqiang shouted, "Let him go."

Li Ming got angry and hit the drawn symbol on Deming's forehead. She took out the yellow square talisman with Deming's soul from Dong Enlai's body. She threw Dong Enlai's body on the ground, and Deming's soul floated in the air.

Guozhao Zhiqiang drew his sword in anger and rushed towards Li Ming.

Yang Chuntao, who was closest to Li Ming, jumped over and grabbed Deming's soul with her left hand. Li Ming hit Yang Chuntao in the abdomen heavily, sending her crushing into the wall.

Guozhao Zhiqiang stopped halfway to Li Ming. Looking at Li Ming, his voice trembled with anger, "I shouldn't have given you freedom."

Li Ming smiled, "Hey...his death was your fault from the beginning." She continued to giggle. "Come on...if you want revenge." She pointed to Guozhao Zhiqiang with a smile.
