45 Royal Pervert & The Annoying Ghos

Hongyue consumed the pill whole, her tongue peeked out sliding over her lips to savor the distinctive flavor. As expected, she still remembered this taste. It has been so long, yet she can still recall the desperation and resentment from that year. She blinked, shifting away from her stuffy emotions. A cough sounded out from above her. An aristocratic figure descended from the tree, his brown eyes filled with amusement.

Oh, the stone-faced pervert.

"Why is it every time this prince comes to visit you, there's always a dead body?" Jiayi gazed around the whole yard filled with corpses.

Hongyue glanced at the intruder with no interest and turned back to study one of the dead bodies. Right now she wanted to go back to her room and reorganize some details she missed. Hongyue had already sensed Jiayi arriving right when she ate the pill, but she didn't care. There was no killing intent on his body, and she was able to handle him this time if he ever makes a move to attack.

This prince sure has a lot of time on his hands, doesn't he?

Hongyue turned back to her chamber unbothered. Jiayi raised his eyebrows at her lack of response.

Did she know about his arrival already? That's impossible; he concealed all his scent and traces.

Jiayi stared around the bloody courtyard but before he opened his mouth again, Hongyue beat him to it, "Since Royal Pervert had taken time to visit me, Hongyue cannot let you be disappointed. Why don't you go and admire the scenery? This lady has some matters to attend upon first."

Jiayi froze.

Royal Pervert?

Admire the scenery?

His eyebrows rose, she wants him, a royal prince to be entertained by looking at dead corpses? She was sure presumptuous, still playing stupid in front of him.

"This lady? You certainly don't act like one," He mocked.

"You're right; I'm not. I'm a vengeful ghost. Did you forget?" Hongyue agreed, blankly.

Jiayi paused, he didn't forget.

Was she being serious or playing with him? Jiayi didn't believe it. Nonetheless, he also couldn't see past her disguise to who she really was. Fine, if she claimed to be a ghost, then let her be a ghost. He'll find out sooner or later. Jiayi sighed helplessly, he was speechless.

This ghost was sure irritating.

Having ruined the mood, Jiayi's eyes floated back to the corpses. The bodies were littered with deep stab wounds, markings of anger.

"How did you kill them?" Jiayi wondered curiously.

Hongyue's ears perked up. She was surprised; she thought the prince might ask 'why did you kill them,' but it turned out to be a 'how did you kill them.'

No.

What was there to be surprised about? Either way, he knew it was her doing.

Her eyes narrowed, the royal family probably already knew about her situation. They have no lack of information or people. Thinking about it more, they presumably didn't care about her condition. In all honesty, it would be beneficial if she was abused. After all, this way they could swoop in and console her when she was at her lowest. The little weak miss would then run to the royal family with a heart full of dependence, becoming their little pawn. Was this their intention?

Hongyue's gaze darkened and oozed out a bit of killing intent. Seems like she'll have to pay a visit to the imperial palace sometime as well.

Jiayi froze. He could sense her killing intent. Why did her mood change?

Hongyue fixed a fake smile on her face screening her murderous aura, "Royal Pervert must be joking. How could this delicate stupid little miss do anything to those servants?"

She turned and pointed at the corpses, "See the slash marks, this lady's father did the slaying, not her."

Jiayi's gaze became rigid. Was she playing dumb with him? The general was a careful person, even if the general was reckless, he wouldn't discard corpses openly like this. This could not be the work of General Wei. However, this Hongyue...although Jiayi didn't know what a ghost was capable of, he had seen this little girl attract death like crazy. Every time they met, someone always seemed to die.

"With your ghostlike powers, it wouldn't be hard to cause these marks," Jiayi retorted.

"Oh?" Hongyue jeered back with impatience. How laughable.

"If I claimed to be a ghost, you believe I'm a ghost. If I said the general did it, you don't believe me? I already told you the truth, if your highness doesn't believe me, that's fine. However, as for today, this unknown creature has no time to spare chit-chatting with you," After she spoke, she moved right back into her room. The bone eroding poison was just about to break out its effects soon so Hongyue couldn't afford to miss it by talking to a pervert. The door slammed loudly in place behind her.

Jiayi stood outside astonished. He could still hear the ridicule dripping off each word she pronounced. He still had no clue what she was, nor what happened in this courtyard. Jiayi felt his face burned, his ears slowly turning red. He only stopped by to see if her body recovered, why is it, in the end, he got mocked.

You rude little thing, let me dig up your little mask. Jiayi's eyes narrowed.

"Black."

A shadow guard dropped next to him. His limbs were fast and precise as he bowed to the prince.

What was the truth? Did the general really do this? Jiayi stared keenly at the closed door, "Find out what occurred today!"

"Yes, your highness."
