I couldn’t help but sigh.
Who would have thought that Ye Qian would have such a love story? It was simply like a fairy tale.
The heavens pitied them. Cousin Mo was a responsible person and he wouldn’t disappoint Ye Qian.
“I really didn’t expect that you would become my cousin-in-law.” I sighed.
Ye Qian’s face turned slightly red. “I just want to be by Master San’s side for the rest of my life. I don’t have extravagant hopes for anything else.”
I couldn’t help but widen my eyes. “You’ve been by my cousin’s side for so long. You guys, really, uh, I want to ask, are you guys still –”
“There’s nothing between us.” While I was still stuttering, Ye Qian had already said it directly.
I looked at her. “Why?”
Ye Qian lowered her eyes. “Master San has some concerns. He always knows that he doesn’t have much time left, and he doesn’t want to implicate me. He hope that after he leaves, I can still have a beautiful future.” Ye Qian’s eyes were filled with faint tears. “But, in this life, apart from him, I won’t love anyone else. I’m his woman. Even if he’s gone, I’ll still be his woman.”
I slammed the table and stood up, startling Ye Qian. She looked up at me. I rolled up my sleeves. “Ye Qian, don’t worry. I’ll definitely let my cousin live for a hundred years. As long as I’m alive, my cousin can’t die!”
As I walked out, I shouted without turning back, “But you have to take the initiative. I can’t help you with that matter. Think about it carefully. Let me tell you, if you want to thank me, then hurry up and become my cousin-in-law!”
Ye Qian didn’t follow me. I reckoned that she was too dumbfounded.
She should reflect on herself properly. I had to find Mr. Li.
I bumped into Su Shen and she pulled me back. “Where are you going? I’m looking for you!”
“What’s the matter?” I stopped.
Su Shen looked left and right before saying in a low voice, “Ma Ji wants to see you!”
Ma Ji?
I had almost forgotten about this person’s existence.
“Why is she looking for me?” I asked curiously.
Su Shen shook her head. “I don’t know. Ma Ji has been locked up in the dungeon. Master Si was supposed to escort her back to her tribe but Master Si didn’t really leave, so Ma Ji was locked up back in the dungeon. Mr. Li doesn’t have time to care about her now. She’s quite honest. It’s just that she suddenly told the brother guarding the dungeon that she wants to see you today.”
I couldn’t understand it.
“Are you going? If you’re going, I’ll accompany you!” Su Shen asked me.
“Yes, let’s go and take a look.” I nodded.
“I heard that this woman is very evil. Why don’t we bring Mr. Li along?” Su Shen suggested.
I shook my head. “There’s no need. She wouldn’t say anything with Mr. Li around. Plus, if she wants to talk to Mr. Li, why would she name me specifically? I heard from Mr. Li that she couldn’t do any voodoo anymore.” Mr. Li had already sealed off all of her evil techniques.
“Alright then, but we have to be on guard. Don’t go near her and stay away from her,” Su Shen reminded me.
I nodded in agreement.
The so-called dungeon was a very spacious basement. It had ventilation, drainage, and lighting. The conditions were pretty good.
In the innermost area, there was a row of areas surrounded by iron railings. There were beds, tables, and other living facilities.
I saw Ma Ji at a glance because there was no one else locked here.
Ma Ji sat cross-legged on the single-seater wooden bed. Her hands were placed on her knees and formed a seal that I could not understand. Her eyes were closed and she did not move at all.
Ma Ji’s complexion was not bad. Ever since she met Mr. Li, Ma Ji might have lost all of her powers and magical powers, but she was becoming more and more like a human. Her ghostly presence weakened.
