The master of ghost valley Wen Kexing died in a fight with Zhang Chengling, the sole disciple of Zhou Zishu. Zhou Zishu was severely heart broken. He could neither accept the death of his lover nor scold or beat his own disciple for his action. He thought his life became meaningless again. He could no longer teach martial arts to the person who killed his beloved. Before he met Wen Kexing he planned to wander in faraway areas, Wen Kexing bound him to one place. He decided to leave that place and spend his remaining days wandering.

During his wandering he became thirsty and there was not a drop of wine in his wine pouch. He spread himself on a log of wood to rest, he himself did not know for how long. When it was already dark a lady came there and sit beside him. That lady offered him some wine, which he accepted with a dry "thank you".

That lady asked, "who are you handsome young man? Where are you going?"

He indifferently replied, "I am just an wanderer, passing through this area."

That lady said, "this part of the jungle has many wild animals and not safe for night stay. You can come with you, I can arrange a room for you."

"I do not need any room, I am good enough under the sky."

"But, I can't leave you in this place. If anything happens to you, how will I show my face to my ancestors?"

"Why?"

"They will blame me to not fulfilling my responsibilities towards my guest."

"Guest?"

"Yes, this is my ancestors' land and I am the keeper of this jungle."

"I am sorry lady, I did not know anything about it. I am new here."

"I can understand, but you should follow me to the guest room."

Zhou Zishu pick up his wine pouch and said, "please lead the way, lady."

In that small guest room there was a servant, who served dinner and wine to Zhou Zishu. After dinner he provided warm water for bath and clean clothes to wear. No one disturbed him after that and Zhou Zishu slept after midnight.

In morning when he was eating his breakfast, he realised that he did not ask the name of his host. As soon as he thought about that lady, she came to meet him. Zhou Zishu thanked that lady for her hospitality. Last night, it was dark, so he could not see that lady's face clearly. Meeting her in daylight he realised that the lady was beautiful and somewhat familiar. He tried hard to remember where he met that lady, but could not figure it out. He asked the lady about her name but she smiled seductively and poured wine in his cup.

Zhou Zishu realized that he felt attraction towards that lady and slapped himself in his mind. That lady said, "lao gong, you can call me ."

"Who is your lao gong? I don't even know you."

"You can know me, if you try. I am all at your service." She winked and smiled meaningfully.

"Lady, you have a status, don't behave cheaply."

"Loving my own husband is not wrong."

"I am not your husband."

"Then be my husband."

"I have very little time to live, so don't waste your youth on me. You will get someone better than me."

"But I like you. How much time do you have?"

"I will hardly live for one year, my death is near."

"I don't care, one year is enough for me. I can give you the joy of fatherhood in this one year."

"I can't marry you, I love someone else."

"You love someone? Who is that person? Is she more beautiful than me?"

"Yes, he is."

"Can that man make you more satisfied in bed? Can he give you children?"

Zhou Zishu could not control himself anymore. "He cannot give me anything anymore. He is dead. But my love for him is still the same. No one can take his place ever in my heart."

Zhou Zishu was distracted and that lady took that opportunity to jump on him. She pinned him on the ground with her body and said, "so that person is already dead. Forget him, I will love you more"

Zhou Zishu tried to free himself but the lady brought her face near him and kissed his lips. He pushed her forcefully and got up. "Don't force me to kill you. I am letting you go as you are a lady."

Then he did not waste any time there, he took a horse and ran from that house. He travelled for a long and his horse became tired, so became he. He thought that he was safe from the danger and was about to halt. But suddenly another horse blocked his path. On the back of that horse was sitting a man in veil. He avoided that person and increased the speed of his horse. But after few minutes that person blocked his road again. In that place there was no place to overcome that block. He was thinking about knocking that person but that person removed his veil and smiled seductively. Zhou Zishu lost his composer and his horse was about to slip, but the man jumped towards Zhou Zishu and held the rein of the horse and controlled it. Then he took Zhou Zishu effortlessly in his arms tried to kiss him. Zhou Zishu came back to his senses and pushed him.

That man smiled mischievously and said, "Ah Xu, what happened?"

"Who are you?"

"Don't you know me? I am Wen Kexing."

"He died in front of me. You look like him, but you can't be him. Put me down."

"Are you really unable to recognise me? Look carefully." He put Zhou Zishu down and touched his locks with his fingers.

Zhou Zishu slapped that man's hand. "What do you want? Why are you pretending as Wen Kexing?"

"I am not pretending, I am the real one."

"But Wen Kexing is already dead" Zhou Zishu said with gritted teeth.

"Ah Xu, I faked my death to the world, Chenling acted with me."

"Then, why did nobody inform me about this in advance? Why did you not say anything to me?"

"If I had informed you about this earlier, then everybody could understand that it was fake."

"How?"

"Because the sorrow on your face could not be artificially created. You believed I was dead, so everyone believed that."

"But where were you all this time?"

"I was with you."

Zhou Zishu suddenly realised something and got furious. "You were deceiving me for the whole time. I was sad for you and you were having fun with me. Am I a plaything for you?"

"You never showed any love to me, so I wanted to hear from your mouth that you love me."

"You tortured me."

"I am sorry, please forgive me."

"I will not."

Zhou Zishu rode his horse and pulled its rein. The horse began to run. Behind them ran another horse with a rider. And the rider kept shouting, "Ah Xu, I am sorry. Ah Xu, please forgive me."
