188|The Cold White Ghost Warm Words to Confuse the Lost Children 2

Xie Ren yelled on the spot, Feng Xin was coldly startled by him, saying, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong!”

Xie Ren’s face paled as he pointed at the mirror, “He! I …… I, I ……”

Feng Xin followed his hand and looked into the mirror for a while, but he turned his head with a confused face and said, “…… What’s wrong with you?”

Xie Ren was so frightened that she grabbed him tightly and could easily say a few more words, “I… I! My face! My face! Can’t you see it? There’s something on my face!”

Feng Xin stared at his face and sighed. Xie Ren was still wondering why he didn’t react, but he heard Feng Xin say, “Your Highness, did you just realize that you have a wound on your face?”

Xie Ren was like falling into an ice cave.

Why? How come? Why would Windsong say that?

Is it possible that Feng Xin, simply can not see this mask on his face in the mirror at the moment?

Xie Ren said offhandedly, “Can’t you see? There’s something on my face!”

Feng Xin was puzzled, “What is it? What exactly does it refer to? I don’t see it?”

Xie Ren went to look in the mirror again, “No way! I ……”

However, when he looked again, the mask on his face disappeared, and his frightened face was still reflected in the mirror.

Face crisscrossed with bruises, looks disoriented, woeful to the extreme, as if a small long laborer was beaten by the rich man. Xie Ren could not help but freeze, try to touch the edge of the cheek, thought: “…… this is me?”

At this time, I only heard Feng Xin say: ”Your Highness, are you …… too tired? Or are you pissed off by that brat? Listen to me, recently you don’t go out, or more rest.”

Xie Ren easily came back to consciousness, see Feng Xin back bow, carry a stool is going to go out, busy said: “Not! I ……”

Windsong pushed the door on one side and turned back, “What else?”

The words reached his mouth, but he swallowed them down. Because a bizarre thought suddenly popped into his mind:

It was already hard enough as it was, what would Feng Xin do if he was told that Bai Wu Xiang might come back to haunt them again?

Feng Xin’s shadow over Bai Wu Xiang wasn’t shallow either, what would he do? Will he budge and leave, like Mu Xin did?

While he was rambling, Feng Xin had already gone out the door. Xie Ren was awakened by the sound of the door slamming, so he had to shrink back into bed and smother the covers, intending to sleep some more.

Suddenly, he smelled a strange odor.

Xie Ren climbed up, first thought it was the queen is cooking again or rats or something dead in the corner, got up to inspect, looking around, but finally realized that the source of this strange smell, actually is their own.

Xie Ren then remembered that he hadn’t changed his clothes or washed himself for dozens of days, so of course he would smell.

Xie Ren held his breath, a wave of disgust for himself surged in his heart all of a sudden. Thinking that both his parents and Feng Xin must have sensed it, but neither told him, another wave of shame came over him, and sneakingly opened the door to see that there was no one outside, so he found himself some new clothes, intending to boil water and take a bath.

After a bit of a tussle, he finally soaked in the tub. He sank his entire body under the water, suffocating until he choked and nearly fainted before surfacing and washing his face viciously a few times.

After brushing her entire body, Xie Ren reached out for her clothes, absentmindedly shaking them off and about to put them on, when she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

It wasn’t his clothes at all, but the miserable white, big-sleeved mourning clothes of Bai Wuxiang!!!!

Xie Ren only felt that the hot water he was soaking in had instantly turned into a pot of ice pools, creeped out and lost his voice, “Who! Who did this?!”

Who secretly changed his clothes when he wasn’t looking?

He ** jumped out and knocked over the bath tub, with a loud bang, the whole house was flooded with water, startling the Queen in the next room, the Lord of the Kingdom was shocked. The queen helped the lord of the country to come in to see, Xie Ren fell on the ground naked, covered in water, so scared that she jumped up and hugged him, “Emperor son, what’s wrong with you!”

Xie Ren**’s cloaked head and loose hair lifted her face and backhanded her, saying, “Mother, ghost, there’s a ghost, there’s a ghost haunting me! He keeps following me!”

With this appearance, he looked no different from madness, the Queen could no longer stand it and hugged her son to the point that she cried out in heartache. The lord of the country also looked at Xie Ren in a daze, a man in his forties now seemed to be over his prime. The cold winter air froze Xie Ren with a jolt, pointing, ”Clothes. Quickly look at the clothes! ……”

However, when he went to look at the clothes again, where was the white mourning clothes? Isn’t it still his white Taoist robe?

With a sudden burst of anger, Xie Ren hammered his fist on the barrel and growled, “What the hell do you want? Are you playing with me?!”

The Queen forced back her tears and hugged him, “Emperor’s son don’t be angry, you put your clothes on first, put them on, don’t catch a cold …… “

On this day, Feng Xin also came back very late, and the tired look on his face, was also deeper than before.

Xie Ren had been waiting for him for a long time and couldn’t wait, “Feng Xin, I have something very important to say to you.”

Although this thing, White Phaseless, was too bizarre and powerful, and even if he told Feng Xin, warning him in advance probably wouldn’t be of much use, but after thinking about it, he still thought that this matter shouldn’t be hidden from Feng Xin, and thus decided to tell him the truth. Unexpectedly, Feng Xin did not immediately ask him what it was about, but instead said, “It just so happens that I also have something I want to tell you.”

Xie Ren thought for sure that this matter of Bai Wuxiang was more important, the important things should be put on the back burner, sat down at the table, and asked, “Tell me first, what is it?”

Feng Xin hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s better for you, Your Highness, to speak first.”

Xie Ren didn’t have the heart to excuse herself and whispered, “Feng Xin, you must be careful, Bai Wu Xiang is back.”

“……”

Feng Xin burst out, ”Bai Wuxiang has returned? Why do you say that? You saw it?”

Xie Ren said, “Yes! I saw it.”

Feng Xin blanched and said, “But …… it’s not right, why was it seen by you? Why was seen by you you still safe and sound???”

Xie Ren buried his face into his hands and said, “…… I don’t know! But not only did he not kill me, but he also ……”

He put his arm around him like a loving elder and rubbed his head and said, “Come to my side.”

After listening to him talk about the bizarre encounters over the past few days, the shock on Feng Xin’s face gradually faded and was replaced by confusion as he said, “What exactly does he want?”

Xie Ren said, “Anyway, it must be unsuspicious, and he seems to be following me all the time, in short …… you be careful! Help me remind father and mother to be careful too, but don’t scare them.”

Feng Xin said, “Good. I won t go out for a few days, the stuff …… that kid sent should last for a while.”

It was embarrassing to say the least. When Mu Xin left, he still left behind all the things he brought with him. Although Xie Ren was out of control at the time and smashed him saying that he didn’t need his things or help, he calmed down and still all grayed out and picked up everything. Xie Ren sighed, nodded, and added, “By the way, what is it you want to tell me?”

Mentioning this, Feng Xin hesitated again. After a pause, he opened his mouth, actually a rare swallowing up, while scratching his hair, while saying, “In fact, also …… your highness, you there, there is still money? Or anything that can be pawned?”

Xie Ren didn’t think that he would actually ask this question which could be called a fool’s question at such a time, and said in shock, “Ah? Why are you asking this?”

Feng Xin said stiffly, “…… It’s nothing …… just that if there is, can …… you lend me some first?”

Xie Ren laughed bitterly, “…… Do you think there will still be?”

Windsong sighed as well and said, “I guess so.”

Xie Ren thought for a moment and said, “But didn’t I give you the golden belt before?”

Windsong muttered, “That one’s not enough, not by a long shot ……”

Xie Ren was taken aback and said, “Feng Xin? What on earth have you done? How come one gold belt isn’t enough? Did you beat up someone outside and have to pay for it? Tell me about it?”

Feng Xin came back to his senses and busily said, “No! Don’t you worry about it, I’m just asking!”

After repeatedly asking, Feng Xin assured him that he was fine, so Xie Ren said uneasily, “If anything happens, you must tell me, so that we can figure it out together.”

Feng Xin said, “Don’t mind me, you can’t think of a solution even if you dry think. Your Highness, you’d better solve your side of the matter first!”

When he mentioned this, Xie Ren’s heart sank again.

As he expected, the thing haunted him throughout the next few days.

Xie Ren could always see that sad and happy face, or a white figure if there was one, in many unexpected places. Sometimes it was at the head of the bed in the dead of night, sometimes it was in the reflection in the water, sometimes it was in the doorway that was opened in a hao, and sometimes, it was even right behind Fengxin.

Bai Wu Xiang seemed to take pleasure in terrorizing him, and, on purpose, only let him be the only one to see it. Whenever Xie Ren couldn’t stand it and screamed up to point at him, he disappeared as soon as the others rushed over or turned around. Such days, Xie Ren lived in a state of shock, his heart hated it so much that he couldn’t wait to grab this thing and dismantle it, but he simply couldn’t even step on the other’s shadow, so it was inevitable that his days and nights were upside down, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.

One day, he woke up in the middle of the night, feeling an unquenchable thirst, remembering that he hadn’t had a proper drink of water for the whole day, he climbed up and was ready to go out to drink some water, when he heard human voices and faint candlelight faintly filtering in from outside. Xie Ren was startled and immediately hid behind the door, his heart thumping wildly: “Who is it? If it’s father and mother and Feng Xin, why is it so sneaky?”

Who knew that the sneaky ones were really his father and mother and Feng Xin. Feng Xin’s voice was suppressed extremely low: “Your Highness is resting, right?”

The Queen also whispered, “Sleeping.”

The Lord of the Land said, “It is not easy to fall asleep; you should not call out to him too early tomorrow, so that he may sleep a little longer.”

These words made Xie Ren’s heart sour, and immediately after, she heard the queen say, “Alas …… if this goes on, when will the emperor’s son be well?”

Xie Ren was feeling that there was something wrong with these words, when Feng Xin whispered, ”He is also like this because he is really too tired lately. Too many things have happened. I’ll trouble Your Majesties to keep a closer eye on him as well, and if there’s anything wrong with His Highness, you must tell me immediately. But don’t let him realize it, and also, don’t say anything that irritates him ……”

Xie Ren hid behind the door and listened, his mind going blank as gusts of blood rushed straight upwards.

What does that mean? What does it mean?

He growled in his mind, “I’m not crazy! I’m not lying! I’m telling the truth!”

Xie Ren raised his hand and opened the door with a bang, the three people in the room were all startled, Feng Xin stood up, “Your Highness? Why aren’t you sleeping?

Xie Ren split his head and said, “You don’t believe me?”

Feng Xin was stunned and said, “Of course I believe you! You ……” Xie Ren interrupted him, “Then what did you mean by those words just now? Is it saying that the ones I saw were all illusions, my own delusions?”

The Lord of the Country and the Queen tried to interject, but Xie Ren immediately said, “Don’t speak, you don’t understand!”

Windsong said, “No! I believe your highness, but it’s also true that you’ve been too tired lately!”

Xie Ren looked at him and didn’t say anything, but somewhere in his heart, a cold wind was whooshing.

He believed that, by and large, Windsong still believed in him. Eight points at least.

It wasn’t a wholesale belief. After all, the way Xie Ren had been living these days lately was just too sick. Any other outsider looking at this would definitely judge this to be a lunatic, so what qualifications did she have to make people trust her wholeheartedly?

But it shouldn’t be like this; the old Windsong would have trusted him without reservation! Even if there were only two points of doubt, it was unbearable!

Xie Ren’s heart was filled with anger and resentment, he didn’t know to whom, to Bai Wu Xiang, to Feng Xin, to everyone, to himself. Without a word, he turned around and headed out the door, Feng Xin chased after him and said, “Your Highness, where are you going?”

Xie Ren forced himself to be calm and said, “Don’t you care, don’t follow me, go back.”

Windsong said, “No, but where are you going? I’m going with you.”

Xie Ren made up his mind and suddenly ran wildly, Feng Xin’s footwork was not as fast as his, and in a short while he was far away from him, and could only shout at the back, and the Lord of the country and the Queen also came out and shouted at him together, but Xie Ren turned a deaf ear and ran faster and faster.

He’s got to be proactive now!

If Bai Wu Xiang wanted to kill Xie Ren, or Feng Xin, or his parents, none of them would be easy to kill, but he preferred not to, instead he wanted to play with him like a toy, and then look at him as a joke!

Xie Ren darted on one side and yelled at the darkness, “Get out!!!! You gutter monster!!!! Get out!!!”

Bai Wuxiang was completely rushing him alone, therefore, he believed that Bai Wuxiang would definitely follow him out. However, after a flurry of vocabulary-poor cursing the heavens and the earth, there was not a few cold smiles drifting in from unexpected dark corners as usual, or a silhouette appearing leisurely behind him, coldly placing a hand on his head. Running wildly for several miles, Xie Ren finally exhausted his physical strength, deeply bent over, hands propped up on his knees, panting, his chest and throat filled with a rusty odor.

After a long time, he got up violently and continued to walk forward, whispering, “…… You want to consume with me, right? OK, slowly consume!”

He had been hiking alone for an unknown amount of time in the wild mountains and deep forests, and the fog was thickening.

On all sides of the dark old trees with teeth and claws, all tilted toward the front, oppressive to the extreme, as if inviting him to step into a forbidden land of no return. Xie Ren knew that the front was not good, but there was no way to avoid it. Moreover, it must be a conclusion, sooner or later, so, sullen face continue to walk forward. As he walked, in the white mist ahead, a row of glittering things actually emerged, like a glowing wall.

Xie Ren had never seen this kind of thing before, frowning slightly, he fixed his feet. The “wall” was actually slowly approaching his side!

Xie Ren was on guard, folded a branch and held it in his hand. When the “wall” was forced to less than two feet in front of him, he was shocked to realize that it was not a wall, but countless ghostly flames. Because there were too many of them, from a distance, it looked like a wall of fire and light, or a big net.

Although those ghost flames were bizarre, they had no killing intent, and only floated silently in front of Xie Ren, preventing him from moving forward. Xie Ren tried to go around them, but these ghost flames immediately changed direction and stopped in front of Xie Ren. At the same time, he heard many voices saying:

“Don’t go over there.”

“Don’t go over there.”

“There’s something bad up ahead.”

“Go back and don’t go any further!”

These voices were timbered and dense, like a tidal wave that sent chills down one’s back. Xie Ren was surrounded by them in the center, and noticed that, among these ghostly flames, there was a flame that was exceptionally bright and silent.

Although things like ghost fire didn’t have eyes at all, when he looked at the ghost fire, it was as if he could feel a burning line of sight that met him.

It seemed that this ghost was the strongest of the ghost fires. The other ghost fires are all just following it.
