Chapter 7 Mysterious Devils
Rong Qiyue lowered her head and thought, "Hua Qiyue, rest in peace. I have borrowed your body, and I will do my best to honor you!" The heaviness on her heart lessened, and she sighed in relief.
Hua Qiyue looked down as her fingers brushed something cold at her waist. When she pulled it out to examine it more closely, she found it was a green jade gourd pendant. She didn't know why, but she felt attached to it, somehow.
When she saw Hua Qiyue looking at the green jade gourd with such a serious expression, Lv Xin couldn't help asking, "Eldest Miss, what are you doing?"
Since Hua Qiyue had been knocked unconscious last night, she seemed to have become a completely different person. You Shui and Lv Xin found it very strange, but it seemed that Hua Qiyue's observational skills had greatly improved. Not only had she seen the flour on Lanzhu’s purple clothes, which would be obvious to anyone looking for it, she could even see the powder on Lanzhu's pale face!
Hua Qiyue frowned slightly, still staring at the jade gourd in her hands. Her new body had no memories regarding it, and she certainly hadn’t brought it from her previous life.
You Shui laughed and said, "Miss, how could you forget so quickly? This is the keepsake that I found for you in Rongfu Temple last month. According to that old monk, it was a lucky keepsake, so I spent ten silver taels to buy it for you."
Hua Qiyue was startled, as she could not find this memory in her mind – it seemed the original Hua Qiyue was quite forgetful.
“Yes, Eldest miss. That Master Xuanji came out of nowhere, but his fortune telling is very accurate, and he is also a prophet!” Lv Xin said in a worshipping tone.
Further questioning from Hua Qiyue revealed that Master Xuanji joined Rongfu Temple a month ago. Despite being so new, his fortune telling was famous for being very accurate, and all the women in the capital wanted to visit him.
Hua Qiyue's eyes lit up. "Alright, then. When we pass by the Rongfu Temple, let’s stop for a moment. I’m going to find him."
You Shui and Lv Xin were shocked. "Miss, you didn't believe in fortune telling before…."
"Now I believe it. Fate is fate, but maybe, like some masters have said, there's still a chance to change it… " Hua Qiyue's eyes were so cold, Lv Xin shivered.
The green jade gourd in her hand suddenly became scorching hot. The heat flowed into her palm and reached her heart and brain at lightning speed! Hua Qiyue’s body shook as her eyes were shut of their own accord. Try as she might, she could not open her eyes.
Even with her eyes closed, she saw a strand of light flash as a man's arrogant laughter resounded. As though lifted by a tornado, Hua Qiyue was sucked into another world.
She slowly opened her eyes.
There was a barren world in front of her. It was a dry landscape, and the sky was filled with bloody red clouds. In the red light, a tall man stood against the wind. Handsome and dressed in red, he had a devilish appearance, and his eyes were filled with an untamed light.
Then he smiled.
Hua Qiyue once thought that Zhou Zhicheng was the most beautiful man in the world, but compared to this demonic man, he was nothing!
What was this place?
