Veil of Darkness: The Enchantress's Revenge

Chapter 5: Death

The two little ghosts were so frightened that they quickly knelt down, exclaiming, "Your Majesty, please forgive us!"

The King of Hell radiated coldness and said angrily, "You dare to touch my precious granddaughter? Do you want to take a tour of the eighteen layers of hell?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
The King of Hell turned to the old man who had just entered and said furiously, "Judge, you arrived just in time. Throw these two little ghosts into the eighteen layers of hell!"
The Judge glanced at Yun Fengqing and replied, "I sent them to collect souls."
"What?" The King of Hell's anger flared as he glared, "You actually dared to send someone to collect my granddaughter's soul!"
Yun Fengqing looked helplessly at the old man and said, "Grandpa, let's hear him out first." It made sense that these two little ghosts could take her soul; the Judge had interfered.
Hearing this, the King of Hell calmed down slightly and demanded, "Hurry up and explain what's going on!"
The Judge sighed and said, "Actually, these two little ghosts mistakenly collected Miss Fengqing's soul from her previous life."
Yun Fengqing frowned, "Can't you just return the soul?" That didn't seem like a big problem.
The Judge's expression turned awkward as he explained, "But they don't know how to retrieve a soul without scattering it."
Yun Fengqing was momentarily speechless, truly impressed by how those little ghosts managed to scatter a perfectly good soul. Luckily, she had taken many soul-reinforcing pills; otherwise, her soul might have been completely lost.
The Judge continued, "The only solution now is to let Miss Fengqing's soul replace her previous life's soul!" If her fate from the past changed, she wouldn't exist in this life, meaning Yun Fengqing would disappear. The only way was to go back and start over.
Yun Fengqing felt a headache coming on; this indeed seemed like the only option. She sighed and said, "But that would change many people's fates, wouldn't it?"
The Judge nodded, but internally he thought, "There's no other choice! Even if everyone's fate changes, we can't let you, young lady, disappear. Otherwise, the King of Hell might throw me into the eighteen layers of hell too."
The King of Hell surprisingly calmed down and looked at Yun Fengqing, saying, "My dear granddaughter, take care of yourself over there! You will definitely find happiness!"
Yun Fengqing reached out and hugged him, softly saying, "Thank you, Grandpa."
In fact, the King of Hell wasn't her real grandfather but an ancestor of the Shangguan family from an unknown generation who had saved Yun Fengqing. She was to his liking, so he doted on her. Though they rarely met, in Yun Fengqing's heart, he was her only family.
"What a silly girl!"
Suddenly, Yun Fengqing remembered something and said, "Grandpa, Bei'er is my only friend. Please help take care of her family!"
The King of Hell nodded, "I like that girl too. If it weren't for those ridiculous rules, I would have gone to play with her long ago."
Yun Fengqing sighed, "If it weren't for those rules, the King of Hell's palace would be overflowing!" All filled with those scared to death!
"Alright, alright!" The King of Hell urged, "Hurry and go! It's not good for your soul to stay out for too long!"
"Mm."
As she watched Yun Fengqing disappear, the King of Hell's expression darkened, "Make sure to punish those two little ghosts! Isn't Shangguan Ling looking for Yun Xuan's soul? Let Yun Xuan return for a visit, then let her reincarnate as a pig!" Let that shrew see how much her beloved daughter resents her; after all, she's the root of the problem! Yun Xuan often bullied his precious granddaughter, so making her a pig is still too lenient!
"And that Luo Jin, let him also go to that world!" Let him see his precious granddaughter happy!
Hmph! Anyone who bullies his precious granddaughter will be dealt with one by one. Just because he doesn't show his power doesn't mean he doesn't know anything!
"Bang..."
The door was kicked open, and a flurry of footsteps entered, followed by a shout, "Gong Juexiang, you're so bold!"
Then a group of people began chattering noisily!
Yun Fengqing felt dizzy, her temples throbbing; indeed, returning to life through another's body was no comfortable experience!
"Father..." The voice was hoarse from just waking up, sexy and lazy, quite pleasant, but with a hint of confusion and panic.
"Third prince, Princess Mo is about to become father's concubine, and you actually..." The unfinished words turned into a sigh.
Another voice chimed in, "Sigh... Third prince, Princess Mo is a princess sent from the Cang Kingdom for marriage. What are you doing? How will father explain this to the Cang Kingdom?"
Yun Fengqing opened her eyes to find the room filled with people. In front stood a stable and handsome middle-aged man exuding authority, clearly the emperor in his dragon robe, looking quite gloomy.
Behind him were two young men, both radiating nobility—one stunningly beautiful and enchanting, the other handsome and refined. If she guessed correctly, they should be princes.
And behind the three were a large group of officials, all dressed in official attire.
After observing the people standing, her gaze shifted to the person sitting on the bed. He was extraordinarily handsome, with striking features. Under his long eyebrows, his dark eyes were still hazy from sleep, with a straight nose and slightly pale lips parted in surprise. His long black hair fell over his shoulders, and although covered by the quilt, his strong chest was still visible, sexy and alluring, though his skin had a sickly pallor.
Yun Fengqing looked at him, a fleeting surprise in her eyes before she quickly averted her gaze. She noticed her own arms exposed outside the quilt were covered in kiss marks and frowned. She knew very well that she was not wearing anything under the quilt, but she felt no unusual sensations, indicating that she and this man had not had a substantial relationship.
Yun Fengqing gently closed her eyes to hide her deep thoughts. Caught in bed? And it was by the emperor, princes, and all the officials—what a spectacle! How many people were entangled in this drama?
