Liu Mang listened to the zither music and was brought into the mood of the zither music. He was not sad, but his instinctive desire to protect Nie Xiaoqian, who had no one to rely on.
He flashed out from behind the tree and walked toward the bridge by the lake. However, he did not disturb Nie Xiaoqian from playing the zither. He walked all the way to Nie Xiaoqian's side and stood silently at the side.
The night wind blew gently, lifting Nie Xiaoqian's black hair and white skirt. The scene was picturesque and beautiful.
Nie Xiaoqian stopped after she finished playing the song. The last note was long and reverberated across the lake.
"Young Master Liu, we meet again. My heart was empty when I didn't see you just now.”Nie Xiaoqian stood up and said gently.
"If you don't feel empty when you see me, what about after you see me?”Liu Mang asked shamelessly.
"After seeing Young Master, I was very happy.”Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head slightly and her voice became much softer, making her look petite and adorable.
Liu Mang was overjoyed. He leaned forward and sniffed the fragrance of the beauty. He said,"Don't keep calling me Young Master. It's too distant. You can call me Little Mang in the future. That's my nickname. Or you can just call me husband. I won't mind.”
"Then you can call me Little Qian."
"I told you not to call me Young Master."
"Xiao Mang…"
"That's right."
Liu Mang chuckled.
He suddenly remembered the official business he had done during the day and told Nie Xiaoqian the news about the Nie residence.
After learning that her mother had passed away, Nie Xiaoqian was heartbroken. She began to cry, and her tears were like broken pearls, wetting her clothes.
Liu Mang knew that this news would hurt Nie Xiaoqian, but he had no choice but to say it. He sighed lightly and reached out to hold Nie Xiaoqian's shoulder, comforting her with a few words.
After a long time, Nie Xiaoqian finally calmed down. She wiped her tears and said,""Xiao Mang, I have something to tell you too. It's bad news.”
"Tell me. If the sky falls, I'll shoulder it. How bad can it be?”Liu Mang said heroically.
"During the day, Grandma told me that she wanted to marry me to the Witch of the Black Mountain. She even set a wedding date. The Witch of the Black Mountain lives in the City of Vain Deaths in the Netherworld Kingdom. If I marry her, I will never see you again. The Witch of the Black Mountain is even more powerful. I am just a female ghost. I can't do anything about it.”
The more Nie Xiaoqian spoke, the sadder she became. The tears that she had held back earlier began to fall again.
This was indeed bad news!
Liu Mang was not surprised by this news. A Chinese Ghost Story had such a plot. Nie Xiaoqian almost married the Witch of the Black Mountain. With the help of Yan Chixia and the others, they barely killed the Witch of the Black Mountain and saved Nie Xiaoqian.
Although he knew, Liu Mang was still very angry after hearing it!
"If you want to marry Xiaoqian off, ask if I agree first! If grandma marries you to the Witch of the Black Mountain, I will marry grandma to Zhu Bajie!”Liu Mang was furious.
"Who is Zhu Bajie?" Nie Xiaoqian said with tears in her eyes.
"Uh…it's a fat, lazy, lecherous, and wretched pig demon.”
"It sounds like a very bad monster.”
"Let's not talk about Zhu Bajie anymore. Let's talk about the problem at hand. I want to think about how to deal with Granny and the Witch of the Black Mountain.”
Liu Mang rubbed his temples and thought hard.
He knew the plot of A Chinese Ghost Story, which was a great help, but there was no need to follow the plot flow. That would be even more dangerous.
It would be best if he could change the future and take advantage of opportunities.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang had some ideas. His eyes lit up and he said in a low voice,"How does grandma usually contact the Witch of the Black Mountain? The Witch of the Black Mountain lives in the netherworld. Yin and Yang are separated, and the Six Paths are distinct. I don't believe that Grandma can travel between Yin and Yang.”
"I'm not too sure about the details. It seems that the Witch of the Black Mountain has opened up a few passages in the Yang Realm. When Grandma wants to meet the Witch of the Black Mountain, she will go to the City of Vain Deaths through the passages. Sometimes, the Witch of the Black Mountain will also send some evil ghosts through the passages to the Yang Realm. As for the exact location of the passageway and how to open it, I don't know.”Nie Xiaoqian said.
"This is important news! When you go back, remember to inquire more about this and find out what the passage is about. As long as he cut off the passage and cut off the connection between Granny and the Witch of the Black Mountain, things would be easier.”
"Alright, I'll take the risk to investigate when I get back.”
"Asking a tiger for its skin is definitely dangerous.”
"Don't worry. I'm of great use to Granny. She can't bear to kill me. At most, she'll torture me and make me suffer a little.”Nie Xiaoqian smiled bitterly.
Liu Mang only hated himself for not being strong enough to kill his grandma and save Nie Xiaoqian. He could only take it one step at a time. If he made a wrong move, he might be consigned to eternal damnation.
The human and the ghost were like a pair of hard-pressed mandarin ducks. They were deeply in love and snuggled together as they sat on the bench in the small pavilion. Nie Xiaoqian's hands were cold, but her skin was as smooth as jade. Liu Mang held Nie Xiaoqian's hand and transferred his pure Yang Qi to her. He quietly circulated the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Techniques to balance Yin and Yang and increase his cultivation. Nie Xiaoqian felt extremely comfortable when the Yang Qi entered her body. She could not help but let out a soft snort.
The two of them did not notice that their every move was being watched by a pair of eyes in the dark.
