The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 691 - 688: If King Yan Wants Someone Dead at the Third Watch, He Can Keep Them Alive Until the Fourth
Master Ji!
Xin Lin’s heart clenched tight, a hint of warmth flickered in her dark pupils.
"He has already passed away."
The cold voice of Gui Hu came from behind her.
Xin Lin’s hands clenched into fists.
Master Ji was a good person.
It was he who personally taught her how to make the Spiritual Delicacy Buns.
"He still had unfulfilled wishes, I didn’t even... hear his last words clearly."
"Do you want to hear them?"
Gui Hu saw Xin Lin looking down, her delicate face stained with a few drops of blood, which added a bewitching beauty to her.
"Do you have a method?"
Xin Lin suddenly lifted her head, looking at Gui Hu.
How could she have forgotten that Gui Hu was the Corpse King.
"King Yan can claim a life at the third watch, but I can keep a person alive until the fourth watch, only until the fourth watch though."
Underneath the wide robe, Gui Hu extended a ghost claw.
The life and death of a person, that is the matter of fate.
It is not easily changed.
But death is one thing.
Delaying the moment of death is another.
Above the ghost claw, a strand of black energy drilled into the brow of Master Ji.
Master Ji’s body, already growing cold, trembled slightly, and after a moment, his chest, with its shattered innards, rose and fell slightly.
Xin Lin held her breath involuntarily.
She hadn’t expected Gui Hu to possess such abilities.
"Xiao Xin... I... what’s happening?"
Master Ji also seemed to have caught a breath.
He clearly felt that he had gone.
But upon opening his eyes again, he experienced a sense of being in a different world.
He remembered being lost in a dense mist, aimlessly, his being light as if floating and drifting far away.
Yet now, within this mist, suddenly a ghost claw reached out fiercely and pulled him from the haze.
His body kept falling, until he opened his eyes once more.
"Master Ji, whatever you wish to say... I apologize, I can’t save you."
Xin Lin sighed.
Her knowledge of Medical Skill was merely superficial.
With actual diseases, she was also helpless.
Such a feeling of powerlessness tortured Xin Lin and made her realize that to protect the people she valued, she must constantly improve her Medical Skill and cultivation.
Master Ji did not ask further questions.
He knew his time was very limited.
"Chen He sent men to steal my Nine-Headed Pearl Abalone. It’s the only heirloom my master left me, and it must not fall into the hands of villains like Chen He. The attacker, he’s a monster. He demanded to know the whereabouts of the Nine-Headed Abalone, but I would rather die than comply. He suddenly transformed into a strange worm and burrowed into my body. I lost consciousness, and by the time I came to, the Big Nine-Headed Abalone I’d always carried with me was gone. Help me reclaim the Nine-Headed Abalone, please, we cannot let Chen He’s schemes succeed. Moreover..."
Master Ji paused for breath, tremblingly taking out a blood-stained deed from his body.
"I own half the rights to Taoyao Pavilion, and I’m giving it to you! Help me manage Taoyao Pavilion well, and make it a Five-Star Spiritual Delicacy Restaurant, that is my lifelong wish."
Having said that, Master Ji dipped his finger in some blood and wrote a line at the bottom of the deed. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Ji Nian bestows the rights to Taoyao Pavilion to my young friend Xin Lin."
After writing the last line, Master Ji let out a long sigh.
"Xiao Xin, ah, I’ve never tasted the Ultimate Lingxiu Buns you make. They say the taste is very good."
"Master Ji, I will make them for you in a bit."
Xin Lin, holding the blood-stained deed, hastily said.
On the bed, Master Ji’s smile remained forever fixed.
