Chapter 24: The Beads of Liaozhai (4)
As they talked about the marriage, they had returned to Wang Hongqing's mansion without realizing it. They thought it was a common day, but the moment they arrived at the door of their house, they were frightened by the scene in front of them. They saw a short man in well-dressed dressed, standing in the yard of the Wang family with two strong men holding big swords, talking about something, and Wang Hongqing's father, Wang Juntong, fell in a pool of blood, motionless.
It seems that a killing has just taken place here.
Wang Hongqing flew off the horse, rushed to Wang Juntong's body, and shouted: "Dad! Dad! What's going on?"
The short man asked, "It seems that you are Wang Hongqing, the son of Wang Juntong?"
Wang Hongqing asked in extreme grief and anger: "Who are you? Why do you want to attack my father?"
The short man sneered: "Your old man is not well-managed. Zhengde Pawnshop owed us a total of 13,000 taels of silver in Longwei Villa. We gave him the opportunity to pay back the money. He didn't cherish it, so we had to fulfill him... By the way, the father's debts and sons are paid. Should you, who are sons, also give us an explanation?"
Wang Hongqing cried and said, "Impossible, my father's business has always been prosperous, how could he suddenly owe so much money?"
The short man took out a note and said, "This is the evidence."
Wang Hongqing was about to take the licensing document, but the short man waved his hand and took the licensing document into his arms, saying, "This cannot be given to you. If you ruin it, where can I make sense?"
"You thieves are afraid that they will not be able to rob money. After killing my father, they will use his handprints to forge the proofs! I don't care whether you are from Longwei Villa or not, I have already recorded your appearance. I want to sue you and ask you to kill someone to pay for your life!" Wang Hongqing was furious, and even the voice of his speech was trembling, wishing he could tear the short man.
"Hmph, do you think you can leave here alive today?" After saying that, the short man winked at the strong man who lifted his sword. The strong man raised his sword and fell down. Wang Hongqing had already been chopped on his shoulder, and blood continued to flow.
Chen Shuqing was shocked, shouted Wang Hongqing's name, rushed up to protect Wang Hongqing with his body and shouted: "Stop!"
The short man smiled and said, "Oh, look, this girl is quite talented. Otherwise, I see that you are pretty good. If you are willing to play with us, I might consider pitying the beauty..."
Before he could finish his words, the short man had already been hit hard by a stone thrown by Chen Shuqing, and a stream of blood suddenly flowed down his forehead.
The short man covered his head and said fiercely: "His grandma, I will punish her if I don't want toast! I will torture her to death!"
Since the short man's order was torture, the two strong men did not kill him, but walked quickly, one of them took Chen Shuqing's hand and pressed her to the ground with her back facing the sky.
The short man followed, slapped Chen Shuqing hard, and cursed: "Stupid bitch, tell you to fight back! You fight back, fight back!"
Chen Shuqing stared at the short man with gritted teeth, but said nothing.
The short man felt unsatisfied and said, "It's useless to beat her, so I'd better hit this little boy named Wang!"
After saying that, the two strong men waved their swords and slashed at Wang Hongqing again. Chen Shuqing was indeed panicked and rushed up again to protect Wang Hongqing with his body, and then slashed his back.
Then, he slashed at Chen Shuqing one by one. Chen Shuqing endured the severe pain, but protected Wang Hongqing tightly, questioning Pu Songling in his heart: "Can such a vicious human being not harmed?"
Finally, Chen Shuqing could no longer bear it. Faced with life and death, she had no choice but to shout and turned into the form of a nine-tailed fox. In an instant, a red flame burst out, easily knocking the two strong men to the ground, then turned around and let out a hideous howl at the three of them.
The three of them exclaimed: "This woman is a monster, a monster!"
Chen Shuqing asked evilly: "I'm hungry, who will give me a tooth sacrifice?"
"Run quickly!" The three of them dared not act rashly, so they quickly smeared their feet and ran away.
Seeing the three of them walking away, Chen Shuqing turned around and looked at Wang Hongqing who was lying on the ground and asked, "Aqing, are you okay?"
When Wang Hongqing saw Chen Shuqing become a monster, he was also stunned. After a while, he squeezed out a sentence: "Shuqing, it turns out to be a monster!"
Sky blue blood flowed out of Chen Shuqing's mouth and replied, "I'm sorry, I've kept it from you. This is the reason why the gentleman refused to let me get married. Aqing, now you already know that I am a monster, are you still willing to accept me?"
Wang Hongqing smiled with difficulty and said, "Accept, of course you accept... My future wife is a monster, so powerful, I don't have to worry about being bullied anymore... I'm too happy yet!"
After hearing this, Chen Shuqing was moved to tears and turned back into a human form. He hugged Wang Hongqing and said with relief: "I will persuade Mr. tonight that I will be buried with Lingzun, so I will let us get married. Aqing, thank you! Thank you!"
That night, in the Stories from a Chinese Studio, Pu Songling used gauze to help Chen Shuqing bandage the wound on his back and sighed: "So, in desperation, you turned into a fox demon to protect Wang Hongqing, and he also accepted the fact that you were a monster, right?"
Chen Shuqing said: "Yes, sir, he accepted me, so please don't hesitate anymore and betroth him."
Pu Songling pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then let's get married."
"Really? Sir, you finally agreed?" Chen Shuqing was so excited that she almost jumped up.
"Well, actually, even if this happened today, I would have had the idea to solve your marriage. I ask you, would you like to lose your demonic power and become a pure human?"
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing! Sir, do you have a way?"
"Haha, there are ways and methods, you wait..." After that, Pu Songling mysteriously went into the bedroom and took out a bamboo slip, spread it on the long table, and said, "This is the way."
"What is this? Is it a secret?" Chen Shuqing asked curiously.
"Actually, since your mother passed away, I have been thinking about how to make you become a human. Over the past year, I have thought hard and tried hard, and finally created this book "Huanyue Jue". I have injected purifying power into it. As long as the monster's demonic power is most abundant on the night of the full moon, let this book absorb the moonlight and reflect it on the monster's body. The purifying messenger casts spells on the monster, and then can completely purify the demonic energy on the monster and turn it into a human."
Chen Shuqing shouted excitedly: "That's great, then I can live a happy life with Aqing to have children! Sir, when is the next full moon night?"
Pu Songling calculated with his fingers: "Three days later, it will be the full moon night. Are you ready? If you become a human, you will lose your long lifespan and powerful demonic power. Perhaps it is far less beautiful than you imagined. Even so, don't you regret it?"
Chen Shuqing responded without hesitation: "No matter how long life is, if there is no one to love, what is the difference between it and death? Sir, I promise you that no matter what happens, I will never regret it!"
The two were still talking and talking. Suddenly, a noise sounded outside the door, and bright firelight shot into the window of the Stories from a Chinese Studio, reflecting two huge figures behind them.
