Chapter 142 Gambling

At the end of the song, the applause from the audience rang out and lasted for a long time. I knew that I had succeeded. I let people know me, which was considered to have fulfilled Yunyan's wish.

Because of me, the opera troupe sang operas on the stage in front of the palace more and more. Almost everyone who has been to the stage in front of the palace knows that there is a pillar named Yunying, who has a melodious and pleasant voice. Anyone who has heard me sing will circle the beam for three days.

The people on the stage in front of the palace negotiated with the master, and invited our theater troupe to go to the stage to sing at least one play every day, and the extra performances will be arranged by the master. The master was very happy, because his wish to make the troupe known to more people was about to come true.

I have no opinion at all about the number of performances arranged by the master. At most, there were even records of five performances a day. The musicians and others had different opinions, but I didn’t. Forget Li Jing, forget everything between me and him. Seeing that I have no objection as a pillar, other people can only complain in private, after all, they also have to live.

One night, on the stage in front of the palace, when I was struggling to perform the last opera of the night, a thin man suddenly came to the stage. It hadn't been washed for days, and as soon as he walked in, many people walked away holding their noses. But my eyes stayed on him and didn't leave, because that man was Li Jing whom I thought about day and night.

I don't know how I managed to finish the opera. After it was over, I didn't even thank the audience, I just ran backstage.

In the backstage, Li Jing was already waiting for me, he directly grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

In the alley behind the stage, he hugged me tightly, telling how he missed me during this time. From his words, I realized that after I left without saying goodbye, he searched many places just to find me.

I couldn't hold my heart anymore, and I forgot what Yunyan told me, don't be tempted by men. I'm so determined to let my heart go, I'm willing to take a gamble.

Li Jing and I are together again, and he comes to listen to my opera every day. I have a smile on my face every day, and after singing, I will go out with Li Jing again.

Soon, the master found out, and he persuaded me earnestly, saying that Li Jing is not a good man. But I don't believe that a person who can follow all the way to find me is not my beloved. I proposed to the master that I would sing for the troupe for another two years, and all the remuneration during this period would belong to him. But after two years, I want to leave, he can't stop me.

The master saw that I had made up my mind, so I nodded in agreement.

Li Jing and I met more often, and he even bought a house just one street away from the stage in front of the palace. As long as I have free time, I will stay in the courtyard, wash my hands and make soup for him every day. Li Jing would go out from time to time. He told me that he was running some small businesses and planning for our future. I believed him, as long as I believed what he said.

But what is false is false, and my dream is still shattered.

Because I left something in the house, when I returned to the house, I saw a woman holding Li Jing's hand and entering the house that only belonged to us. And that woman, even if she turns into ashes, I still know her, she is the front pillar of the troupe, Yun Qing. I watched them enter the courtyard, waited for the dark, and watched Yun Qing leave the courtyard.

I frantically chased after him and stopped Yun Qing.

"Why do you know Li Jing?" I asked calmly.

"Why can't I know Li Jing? I knew him earlier than you." Yun Qing looked at me with a smile on her face. She lowered her head specially to let me see the marks on her neck.

I know, that is the trace after being happy with others. I lost my mind and slapped Yun Qing hard.

Yun Qing was so angry that she let her accompanying mother-in-law and maid catch me, she stuffed me into the carriage, let the coachman drive the cart, took me to a dilapidated temple, tied me up, and threw me inside, Let me fend for myself.

In order to be able to escape, I kept struggling, causing the burning candles in the temple to fall down and set fire to the surrounding...

When I woke up again, the beautiful face I was so proud of was gone, and even my death was extremely painful.

——

"Yunqing killed me. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been burned to death in that fire." Yunying howled completely, because of Feng Nian's bracelet, she saw her past again, the one who was betrayed by Li Jing past. Her white skull was slowly covered with a layer of human skin, but the skin had already been burned and was uneven, and no human face could be seen at all. She stroked her cheek slowly, as if her face was the same as before.

"But you shouldn't have killed everyone who was waiting for you on the stage in front of the palace that night, including the master who raised you and the audience who loved listening to your opera." Feng Nian knew that Yunying's death, She was killed by Yun Qing, but she killed the people on the stage in front of the palace, including other people on that street, for revenge.

After Yunying woke up, she found that she was burned to death, and because she was betrayed by Li Jing, she felt very resentful and turned into a ghost. On the night when she was supposed to be on stage to sing, she returned to the stage in front of the palace.

Her master is anxiously asking everyone in the troupe to go out to find Yunying's whereabouts.

But she had been blinded by hatred for a long time, and she didn't notice the concern of her master and the rest of the theater troupe. She knocked over all the lights in the stage in front of the palace, and the two-story wooden stage was reduced to ashes in the raging fire, and many people on the street were not spared.

"They're all damned, damned," she said through gritted teeth. Even if the fire on the stage in front of the palace still echoed in her ears, the cries for help and the sounds of pain from the stage hall, she didn't care at all.

After the fire on the stage in front of the palace was extinguished, the bodies of many people were carried out from the ruined stage.

"Did you hear that other souls are demanding your life?" The reason why Feng Nian learned about the fire on the stage in front of the palace was because she heard the voices of other souls.

"So what? Li Jing betrayed me, how could he betray me!" Yunying shouted in an excited voice~lightnovelpub.net~ The uneven skin on her face also trembled.

"Trouble, I'll give you a ride." Feng Nian's lavender dagger aimed directly at the phoenix crown in the helmet box.

The phoenix crown was pierced, and black smoke came out of Yunying's body. She tightly covered her face. What she cherished most was her original good looks. Li Jing praised her, saying that her face was the most beautiful he had ever seen.

"Damn you," she threw out her water sleeve towards Feng Nian, she wanted to try her best to give it a go.

Feng Nian certainly wouldn't give her any chance, her water sleeve was burned off by the flame talisman before she reached Feng Nian.

"No, I don't want it." Yunying only had time to cover her face before it dissipated in a puff of black smoke.

??Everyone, happy Friday
