At that time, the only thing left in Baili Ningxiang's heart was hatred towards me, so naturally she agreed to that person without hesitation. She also promised that as long as she could take revenge, she would offer her soul to him and become a puppet evil spirit.
That person gave her a special pill. Baili Ningxiang died as she wished, and became a ghost.
After that, he gave her some pills that he thought could help her cultivate. He told Baili Ningxiang that he only needed to continuously absorb other people's soul essence energy to help him cultivate, and then, she would turn into a fierce ghost seeking her life. That way, she would be able to settle scores with me.
She went to find Baili Lianer, and Baili Ningxiang wanted Baili Lianer to find a scapegoat for her, but she did not expect Baili Lianer to retaliate. Baili Ningxiang knew Baili Lianer's thoughts about the Emperor had already been threatened by the Emperor, but Baili Lianer was actually unwilling to let her die, and even activated an array formation to trap her inside the courtyard.
After understanding the gist of the matter, I had a plan in my mind.
Ye Zichen looked at Hei Baiwuchang, indicating that he could take his away. However, White Impermanence looked at me with an unreliable expression, "Since when did the Underworld have a punishment like this?"
White Impermanence definitely did it on purpose, I glared at him to tell him to shut up.
"Is this considered coercion?" White Impermanence continued to ask me.
"This is called being smart, solving problems peacefully." I secretly glanced at Baili Ningxiang, but thankfully she did not hear our conversation.
"Did we know each other before?" White Impermanence suddenly said without any reason.
"Huh?" I was a bit out of my mind.
"I feel comfortable working with you. I always feel like I've known you before." White Impermanence caressed her hair and said a bit cautiously.
"This kind of way of making conversation is really explosive. Maybe you were the one who picked me up in the Underworld in my previous life, or maybe Ni has some sort of unspoken relationship with me." I teased White Impermanence on purpose.
White Impermanence's snow-white face actually turned red. I was happy, I didn't expect that the shameless White Impermanence I knew in the past would actually blush one day. It seemed that he was still a pure and innocent little boy.
White Impermanence looked at me in embarrassment. That smile … Oh my god, I got goosebumps.
However, White Impermanence's smile disappeared in an instant and was replaced with a face full of fear. I looked in his direction and saw that Bai Jing was staring at him. Looking at his sullen expression, I immediately laughed.
"Let's go." I said something that even I felt was a bit inappropriate.
"Princess." A gentle call, was Baili Lianer.
"If possible, I hope that you can help me deliver a message to the emperor. I, Baili Lianer, am the most fortunate to be able to meet him in this life. As Baili Lianer spoke, a tear drop fell down from the corner of her eye. Like a pearl, that tear drop condensed into a pearl and bounced on the ground. Then she rolled into the nearby grass, her eyes flashing faintly.
"Tear stones, the symbol of great enlightenment. Congratulations, you can directly skip the thought process when you go to the Underworld." White Impermanence picked up the pearl, looked at it, and said to Baili Lianer excitedly.
"What's wrong with that?" I took the so-called tears of regret stone, like glass, like diamonds.
"The Weeping Ghost Stone is a spirit's sudden realization after recalling its own life, indicating that they no longer care about anything on earth. It is also a symbol of their repentance towards their own mistakes while alive, and is very difficult to comprehend this female ghost." White Impermanence looked at Baili Lianer with admiration.
"Then what can this be used for?" I put the stone in front of my eyes and studied it. Nothing special.
"This thing can guarantee one's safety, similar to sariras. It can also defend a person against ghosts and monsters, but its power is not as good as the sariras'." White Impermanence explained.
"But aren't you a ghost? Why is it not working?" I pointed the stone at White Impermanence, but nothing happened.
"It's used to guard against evil spirits. I'm not a evil ghost." White Impermanence rolled her eyes at me, but after taking into account the white scene beside me, she silently lowered her head.
"Then Baili Lianer, I'll give this help to the Emperor as a token of love. It can even help protect him."
"Then I'll thank the princess." Baili Lianer bent his body slightly towards me and bowed. This was the first time Baili Lianer was serious and he bowed to me willingly, but it was also the last time.
"Princess." Baili Lianer called out to me again. She hesitated a little, but didn't say anything. Glancing at Bai Jing, I wondered if Bai Jing was really that scary.
Baili Lianer still said it. "The emperor treats the princess differently. I know that the princess likes the Prince Jing, but I hope that the princess will not be too cold towards the emperor because the emperor has never done anything to let the princess down." When Baili Lianer said that, her eyes dimmed. I was a little surprised that she could say such a flower, but I felt that the surrounding atmosphere was a little chaotic.
"Don't worry, the emperor is my friend. I will naturally take good care of him." I smiled.
Baili Lianer didn't say anything and walked towards Hei Baiwuchang herself.
"Then we'll take our leave." With that said, White Impermanence took Baili Lianer's soul.
Hei Wuchang also took Baili Ningxiang's soul. Then, he looked at me meaningfully before disappearing with White Impermanence.
I don't quite understand what Hei Wuchang's expression means. He never says a word, but his eyes can't let others ignore his existence.
Everything returned to normal. I looked at Xiao Se's courtyard; Baili Lianer's body was still lying there, and the temperature had long since dropped to the ground. There were even faint corpse spots on her hands.
"What are you going to do with the body?" Bai Jing spoke up slowly.
"It must be to rest in peace." I said, dusting my hands.
Bai Jing looked at me with some surprise. I looked around me before looking at the courtyard. Finally, I chose the tree we were standing under.
"Buried there." I pointed to the tree and Bai Jing to discuss.
"After all, she is the emperor's concubine. Maybe the emperor thinks that if the emperor lets her be buried in the Royal Tomb?" Bai Jing did not nod or shake his head.
"If a woman really loves a person, then I hope that I can preserve the most beautiful image in his heart. Baili Lianer definitely doesn't want the emperor to see her miserable state after she dies, and Baili Lianer's wish is to become an ordinary person to enjoy the warmth of an ordinary person. The imperial mausoleum isn't suitable for her." I bent down and helped to straighten Baili Lianer's messy hair.
