Chapter 15 An Embroidery Needle
"Hey, Sister Cui, Ranyue, don't be too sad. This is fate!"
"Yes, now outside of Fangqiao City, the Xu family is the king and the law. We can't afford to offend them!"
“…”
The neighbors came forward to comfort Cui and Yin Ranyue, then left, shaking their heads and sighing.
The three members of the Qin family also returned to the house.
After returning to the house, Qin Ziling asked around and found out that Cao Zhengbin was celebrating his birthday today and they were too busy to handle the job, so they hired Yin Ranyue to help.
Cao Zhengbin was only the adopted father-in-law of Xu Yuanwu, the young master of Xujiabao. Xu Yuanwu was of noble status and naturally disdained to come to congratulate him in person. However, because Cao Zhengbin's daughter gave birth to a big fat son this year, he sent his half-brother Xu Yuanbiao to come and congratulate him on his behalf.
Xu Yuanbiao accidentally ran into Yin Ranyue and became aroused with evil intentions, wanting to rape her on the spot. Fortunately, Yin Ranyue was not a spoiled young lady. She was strong and agile, and when Xu Yuanbiao was careless, she broke free and escaped from the Cao family. This led to the scene that Qin Ziling saw just now.
"Damn bastard!" Qin Ziling cursed with a gloomy face after hearing this.
"Master, don't be angry. This is Ranyue's fate. Ranyue is not blessed enough to continue following you, Master and Madam." Yin Ranyue wiped her tears when she saw this.
"No, Ranyue, this kind of evil man will definitely be punished by God. Maybe God will take his life tonight!" Qin Ziling said.
Upon hearing this, Cui and Yin Ranyue both shed tears silently.
At this point, what else can I do except comfort myself like this?
"Madam, Master, please take a rest. I will prepare dinner for you." After a moment's silence, Yin Ranyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and said.
"You are leaving tomorrow, so let me prepare a meal for you tonight. Ziling, go catch a hen and kill it. The three of us will have a good meal tonight." Cui said, holding Yin Ranyue.
"Madam, how can this be done?" Yin Ranyue said hurriedly.
"What's the use of it? You've served me for so many years and you're leaving tomorrow, so you should at least let me do my best for you," Cui said.
Qin Ziling said nothing, but walked straight into the yard and caught a hen.
…
That night, the Qin family prepared a rare sumptuous dinner.
Although the hen was killed for Yin Ranyue, during the meal, Yin Ranyue kept putting chicken legs and large pieces of meat into Qin Ziling's bowl.
Qin Ziling did not refuse, but just ate silently, but his heart was filled with emotion. What a good girl! As a young master, he could not protect her, but she not only had no complaints, but also treated him so wholeheartedly. If it were in his world, no amount of money could buy such a woman.
After dinner, Qin Ziling said nothing. He went back to his room silently and closed the door.
Seeing Qin Ziling silently return to the room and close the door without saying anything, Cui and Yin Ranyue thought that he was feeling sad and self-blaming, and they both shed tears silently. After a while, they both sighed and went to the west wing to pack their things together.
In the east wing, Qin Ziling sat cross-legged in meditation, and then his soul jumped out of his brain and went all the way to Cao's house at the east end of the village.
At this time, the Cao family's banquet had not yet ended. The wine glasses were clinking and the lights were bright. Although Xu Yuanbiao was only the illegitimate son of a concubine of the owner of the Xu family, he was a real big shot in the Cao family. He sat in the guest of honor seat, and everyone surrounded him to toast him and say flattering words.
Not long after, the banquet was over.
Xu Yuanbiao got on the carriage and left Cao's house, heading towards Xujiabao.
Qin Ziling 's soul followed for a while, but the distance between Xujiabao and Anhe Village exceeded the distance that his soul could leave his body, so Qin Ziling flew high up and looked down, watching Xu Yuanbiao's carriage enter Xujiabao before his soul returned to his body.
After his soul returned to his body, Qin Ziling took a few breaths to calm his mind, then stood up and looked for an embroidery needle.
After finding the embroidery needle, Qin Ziling's soul left his body again, and then his soul tried to pick up the embroidery needle.
Under the candlelight, in the room, an embroidery needle suddenly moved out of thin air, then floated in the air, and then the embroidery needle kept shuttling back and forth in the air, but the speed was not fast. Once people became alert and defensive, it would be difficult to catch it.
Generally speaking, people who practice martial arts and reach the membrane level will be more sensitive to crises.
Young Master Xu Qi was tall and strong, with taut muscles, a long breath, and sharp and bright eyes. He was at least at the first level of the membrane realm, or even at the second level of the iron skin realm. If he was awake, he would definitely notice an embroidery needle piercing towards him slowly.
After a while, the embroidery needle fell lightly back onto the table.
Qin Ziling, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
"Fortunately, I can use the embroidery needle. Otherwise, I can only take advantage of the bastard's sleep and use my soul to scare him and disturb his mind. But people who practice martial arts have strong bodies and their souls are generally not weak. If his mind is stronger, it will take many days to really hurt his soul just by using the dream method. We can't afford to waste time."
"But with the embroidery needle, once he falls asleep, it will be easy to kill him, unless he has cultivated to the realm of strength. But to be on the safe side, I'd better add some more ingredients!"
Qin Ziling picked up the embroidery needle on the table, his mind turning. Under the candlelight, his expression was sinister and vicious, which was very inconsistent with his young and handsome appearance.
Soon, the embroidery needle in Qin Ziling's hand disappeared. The next moment, an embroidery needle appeared on the broken flesh wings of the four-headed bird bronze corpse with severely damaged wings in the corpse-raising ring.
Yellow corpse fluid continued to seep out of the broken area and soon soaked the embroidery needle.
Although the wings of this four-headed bird bronze corpse were severely damaged, Qin Ziling already knew from Li Mo's incomplete memory that it was actually the most powerful of the three bronze corpses. It was originally at the silver corpse level, but because of serious injuries in the battle, it fell to the level of a bronze corpse.
Therefore, its corpse fluid is the most toxic.
"Hmph, if an ordinary person's vitals are pricked by a rusty needle, he will inevitably become infected and die. But I don't believe that if this embroidery needle soaked in the bronze corpse's fluid is pricked in the vitals of that bastard, he will not be killed!" Qin Ziling raised the corner of his mouth with a ruthless sneer, then blew out the candlelight and sat cross-legged in meditation.
A dark cloud came and blocked the moonlight.
The earth was pitch black.
It was already late at night.
In the darkness, Yin Ranyue looked at the ceiling, her heart filled with fear and despair about the future, and she had no desire to sleep at all.
"Crack!" Suddenly, Yin Ranyue heard a slight sound, but it was particularly clear and sharp in the quiet night.
Yin Ranyue quickly got up, put on her clothes, and walked to the window. Through the paper-pasted window, she seemed to see a blurry figure flash by.
Yin Ranyue was startled, but she calmed herself down, then carefully opened the door a crack and peeked outside, intending to shout loudly if something went wrong.
At this time, a night wind blew, the dark clouds drifted away, and the moonlight fell in the yard like mercury. The yard was empty and there was nothing in it.
