Chapter 335: Paper Dolls Carrying A Litter
Which Which one of you is Yang Yun? The few people surrounding Yang Yun backed away from the two identical-looking men, eyes darting about as they tried to distinguish who was real and who was fake.
Are you guys stupid? Of course Im Yang Yun. That guys the fake.
When Yang Yun saw the distrustful look in their eyes, he said, Old Zhao, Ju Shui, we visited Unforgettable Scent together. Old Chen, Old Fang, we peeped on Widow Lin while she was bathing. Dont tell me youve forgotten about it!
Enough! We believe you. Youre definitely Yang Yun. Yang Yuns co-conspirators hurriedly stopped him. Hell was going to break loose if he continued any longer. Speaking of which
Yang Yun, Old Chen, Old Fang, what the fuck? Havent you heard that you shouldnt lust for a friends wife? Widow Lin is my sister-in-law, you fuckers! A Black Guard exploded.
Old Chen scoffed, Of course we know better than to lust for a friends wife, but is she your wife? No, shes just your sister-in-law. Plus, were just peeping on her, not making a move on her. Also, why are you so angry? Youre not planning to cuck your late brother, are you?
You piece of shit!
Enough! The squad leader hurriedly stepped in before things could spiral out of control. Do we only recruit the bottom of the barrel in the Dark Guards? Seriously
So, what the hell happened to you, Yang Yun? The squad leader asked after things were back under control.
Yang Yun kicked the guy who looked like him in annoyance before answering, I was picking a bull in the back garden when I discovered the innkeepers ploy. I was just about to warn you guys when she turned me into a bull.
Later, I saw the innkeeper using a root carving to turn a bull into a human. She later put a cowhide on him and turned him into me.
Hehe The retarded man on the ground chuckled dumbly as if he couldnt feel the pain.
I see. So the Yang Yun who came back to us was a fake all along. I was wondering why youd turned into a silly git, but I thought you got the innkeeper to give you a Ju Shui abruptly realized that this might not be the best place to talk about such things and changed the subject. Anyway, what is your plan for this guy?
Im gonna kill him, of course. Yang Yun harrumphed and raised his hand to kill the retard.
My, as expected of Feng Yang Gentlemans subordinates. You will kill even an old man who had lost his mind, Ye Qing suddenly interrupted from the sidelines.
Yang Yun visibly stiffened as panic flickered in his eyes. The squad leader looked like he was about to snarl for an instant before he calmed himself. Who is Feng Yang Gentleman? I think you mistook us for someone else, hero.
Did I? Ye Qing smiled. I highly doubt it.
This wasnt the first time he saw some of these people. They had been acting as Duanmu Yus bodyguards while he and Qi Xuanyun were dueling each other.
Youve really gotten the wrong people, hero. We dont know a Feng Yang Gentleman, the squad leader replied calmly. Anyway, since you and your friends saved our lives, its only natural that we obey your wishes. Let him go, Yang Yun.
Fine, Yang Yun replied reluctantly.
You know who you are, Ye Qing replied smilingly, and you definitely know what you came here to do.
Why are you speaking in riddles, hero? I dont get a word youre saying! The squad leader said nonchalantly.
Thats perfectly fine. So long as you get that you dont have the strength to do jack. Ye Qings smile abruptly turned cold and unfeeling. When you get back home, remember to tell a certain someone that such tactics are as futile as they are outdated. Hes lucky that he got away with it this time, but next time he wont be.
Killing intent flashed in the squad leaders eyes, but it disappeared as quickly as it came. We will remember your advice, hero. Goodbye.
The Dark Guards left after that curt goodbye.
What was that about, Brother Ye? Why was Feng Yang Gentleman brought up in the conversation? Qi Xuanyun asked in a puzzled tone after the Dark Guards were gone.
Theyre Feng Yang Gentlemans men, and they were most likely after you! Ye Qing said seriously.
Qi Xuanyun was inexperienced, but he wasnt stupid. He should be able to figure out his meaning.
As expected, Qi Xuanyun quickly put two and two together. Are you saying that they were sent by Feng Yang Gentleman to kill me?!
(They) run very fast,
one doesn't have eyes,
One doesn't have a tail,
How very strange,
How very strange[2]
Inside the neighboring room, Qi Xuanyun was meditating on his bed when he was violently jolted back to reality. What is Brother Ye doing?
Not far away, Chu Nianjiu spat out the wine inside his mouth with a strange expression. No wonder they say that no one is perfect in this world. Joyless Im surprised he can speak normally when his singing is ghastlier than a ghouls scream!
Even Lin Yuhuai was holding back a grin. It takes a truly unique person to sing a song this poorly. In a sense, its a talent.
But where did he learn this song? Why have I never heard of it?
Ye Qing had notified them that he was going to use Nanke before they went into their rooms, so his sudden outburst was probably Nankes request.
Those foolish artifact spirits must be regretting their life choices right now.
After Ye Qing was done singing, he looked at Black Lord and White Lord and asked, How is it?
Black Lord looked completely out of it, and White Lord looked like it had a million things to say. In the end, it could only ask, Master, are you sure thats a song?
Ye Qing tilted his head in confusion. What do you mean? A nursery rhyme is still a song, you know!
If you think that doesnt qualify, then I can sing another song!
White Lord hurriedly said, No, no, your song is so wonderful that itll hauI mean resonate in our dreams for a long time to come. If we hear more, Im worried that we wont be able to stomach anything for the next three days to come, so please, stop.
Why did I make that request? I would strangle past me if I could!
A pleasure to lubricate your eardrums! Ye Qing smirked before sitting on the bed and closing his eyes.
The second he did this, Nankes double doors slowly opened to reveal a black, mysterious and unspeakable void. Then, Black Lord and White Lord moved closer to Ye Qing, opened their mouths, and inhaled a wisp of light out of his forehead.
On the bed, Ye Qing felt a sudden wave of dizziness as he plunged into a patch of dreamy void. There was only darkness and emptiness wherever he looked.
The next moment, Ye Qing sensed a giant mysterious eyeball slowly opening amidst the darkness. His consciousness blurred again, and he realized that he was sitting inside a small litter being carried by two people. Also, he was tied up.
Bondage right from the get go?
The litter and the rope were made of paper, but when he tried to struggle free, he was surprised to find that he couldnt.
Even stranger was the fact that the two bearers carrying the litter were paper dolls. They looked just like the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden that were normally burned in a sacrificial ritual. Their cheeks were painted with red circles, and their smiles looked eerie to put it mildly.
The mountain wind was strong, and the night was cold. The two paper dolls moved very swiftly despite the fact that they were running along a mountain trail.
As they walked, more and more paper dolls emerged from the mountain forest and fell behind them. Their numbers kept growing as if they were endless. By the time they arrived at a small temple, the mountain trail was absolutely covered in paper dolls with no end in sight. More importantly, they were all looking up at him.
Even with Ye Qings willpower, he couldnt help but break out in cold sweat.
1. Hes talking about the human cattle.
2. Its on par with Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars in terms of reputation. Every Chinese knows this song.
