Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith

Chapter-2

With light movements, she opened her eyes as she rose up from her bed; rising up like the undead.

"Bai......Ruo.......Yan......you caused my death.......yet still dare to take my possessions..............you have such courage!"

Hearing this, Bai Ruo Yan's legs softened, while her focus were on the beads of cold sweat dripping down her forehead. From behind her, a cry of fright could be heard as the servants stuttered: "G.....ggg......ghost—-!!!"

Deathly pale was Bai Ruo Yan's face. So full of fright, her butt plonked straight pnto the floor. She was wholly unable to stand and could only furiously nudge her butt towards the door.

Chuckling, the corners of Huang Yue Li's mouth rose up.

This eye technique could not turn her into a ghost. Instead, it brought out Bai Rou Yan's deepest and darkest fears.

It was hard to imagine that the seemingly arrogant and despotic Bai Rou Yan held such fears. Fears of the third elder sister, whom she bullied to return and haunt her.

Truly as the saying goes, vile people have no courage!

Just a moment ago she was calling slut this, slut that. Did she think that this stately princess was on the same level as a lowly servant? This easily bullied?

If she did not properly return this favor, then she would be disrespecting the sincere care and concern this younger cousin has given her, over the past years.

Alighting from the bed, Huang Yue Li leisurely approached Bai Ruo Yan.

Bai Ruo Yan could only cry out in alarm: "You.....don't come near me! Leave! Get away from me!"

Voice hushed, Huang Yue Li's mouth curved into an extremely demonic smile: "Bai Ruo Yan, you were the one to murder me. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go......"

Forcing Bai Ruo Yan into a corner, her icy cold hand reached out and clasped her thin neck.

Fearful screeches and cries could be as Bai Ruo Yan pleaded for mercy: "Don't......don't kill me! Don't kill me! The murderer was not...me......it....it was Second Sister........it was Second Sister and Second Madam! It has nothing to do with me, yes, I don't know anything!"

The tinkling laughter that Huang Yue Li released sounded both sinister and strange.

"Then why.......what is the reason in coming to my room? Wanting to steal my property? It looks......it seems to me that you are a shameless woman who would murder for riches. "

"No, no, no.......it really wasn't me."

When she felt the tightening constriction of the ice cold fingers around her neck, Bai Ruo Yan fell into a state of panic. In a great flurry, she had revealed everything.

(TL: Spilled da beanssssssss)

"It really has nothing to do with me........wu.......it was Second Sister who me told to come. It was her who told me to find a key and said that everything else would belong to me. Third Sister.........I momentarily possessed a greedy heart, please believe me. All debts would have its debtor. The one who spread those rumors about you committing adultery really had nothing to do with me........"

Huang Yue Li snarled: "Daring to eye my possessions.......you equally deserve to die!"

Her fingers tightened.

This caused Bai Rou Yan to start shrieking again: "Please don't! Third Elder Sister.......Third Elder Sister, spare me. I will return everything back to you......"

As she said this, she flusteredly flung out all the items she had taken from within her clothes.

".....I have returned everything to you. I beg Third Sister to be generous and spare me!"

Sweeping across the thing scattered across the floor. She didn't loosen her hand and directly questioned: "Anything else?"

"Anything else?"

Puzzled, Bai Ruo Yan's eyes became blank as she tried to recall. Everything she had previously taken were all returned, so what was left?

Since she was unable to remember anything else, she started desperately take out everything within her possession. She took out money, jewellery and even the hairpins on her head.

"Third Sister, I have taken out everything that was on me. I'll give you everything, so please, please spare my life......."  

Sweeping across the objects strewn across floor again, Huang Yue Li discontentedly said: "You are the Marquis House's Fourth Miss. How could you possibly be this poor? Could it be that you're still hiding some items?"

"Third......Third Sister......I really didn't hide anything....."

Knitting her brows together, Huang Yue Li continued her interrogation: "No money? Touch your heart and ask yourself whether or not if you truly have no money left? Look around and view the damage you have caused. If you do not make the proper compensations, how can my spirit possibly allow you to walk away freely?" She scoffed and looked at Bai Ruo Yan with narrowed eyes.

Shuddering from those words, Bai Ruo Yan's words were shaky as she replied: "Third Sister.........I really......really don't have any money. Second Sister.....she has money, so......so go and ask her......." She pleaded desperately.

"Seems like you really are poor. Why don't write up an IOU then."

(TLN: For those who don't know, IOU is a debt statement)

Bai Ruo Yan blinked in confusion.

"What?"

Lowering her head, Huang Yue Li swiftly wrote on a piece of paper and threw it towards Bai Ruo Yan.

Due to fact that Bai Ruo Yan was overwhelmed with fear, she did not even stop to think for a moment why a ghost would ask for money. She didn't even read the contents on the piece paper, but proceeded to the snatch the brush and signed her name down immediately.

Picking the paper up, Huang Yue Li scanned it before nodding in approval and said in a satisfied tone: "Fine, then we'll reluctantly let you owe the money for now. Take off your clothes and kowtow to me three times, then you can scram!"

Bai Ruo Yan was momentarily stunned.

"What? Take off my clothes?"

Even if she could not think properly due to fear, she still knew that if a young lady took off all her clothes, there would be very severe consequences.

Unfortunately when Bai Ruo Yan looked into Huang Yue Li's endless eyes, it was as if what remaining bit of consciousness she had left was sucked away.

Under the control of the Clear Sky Eye, Bai Ruo Yan didn't not have the slightest resistance. Obediently, she acted according to Huang Yue Li's instructions.

Listlessly, she undressed in front of Huang Yue Li and knelt to the ground. She then proceeded to kowtow three times.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

(TLN: The exaggerated sounds of her head hitting the ground.)

Clear, crisp knocks could be heard as she powerfully banged her head against the limestone floor.

By the time she lifted her head up, her skin on her forehead was torn and blood was trickling down.

Waving her hand, Huang Yue Li commanded: "Scram!"

Hearing those words, Bai Ruo Yan leapt up and madly dashed towards the door as if she had received a great pardon. Bursting through the door, she furiously ran away.

Outside, the serving girsl and nurse that Bai Ruo Yan had brought along with her were still immersed in their grand scheme as they surrounded Bai Ruo Li's serving girl and continued their torture.

"I'll whip this damn wretch to death! Dare to go against our Fourth Miss? You didn't even stop to look around before peeing. What status does your Mistress have!"

"That's right! The ill star of the deceased Master and Mistress. Not to mention that she is a complete cultivation trash! If it weren't on the fact of being kin, Master would not have kept her. This is already showing great benevolence. But who knew, that she would dare to commit adultery with a random man. That's truly losing the face of this entire Manor! Even death cannot wipe such a stain away!"

"Just a lowly and disgraceful thing, yet she still has the audacity to refuse and hand out the items that the previous Master had left behind? Hmph, moreover she still has the cheek to keep it all to herself. But now that she's dead, everything is settled. So everything here would naturally belong to our Manor!

"Third.....Third Miss.......she isn't that kind of person!"

Even though she was covered in blood and barely breathing, she stubbornly clung on to her last breaths and struggled in a weak voice in an attempt to clear her Mistress' name.

It was at that moment that a sudden shriek erupted from within the room, followed by a loud bang as the doors flung open. Hearing the commotion, they all turned their head to only see a naked silhouette flying out.

"Who is it?" Observing closely, the serving girls asked before crying out: "It's......Fourth Miss. What happened to Fourth Miss? What happened?"

Bai Ruo Yan looked completely disheveled. Her hair completely in disarray and matted with dust, not a single accessory was seen, and blood was trickling down her forehead. It was too hideous to look at. Still trembling, she cried out deliriously: "Ghost......spare me Third Sister......spare me....it wasn't me who harmed you. Please don't come find me....."
