Zhou Xuan meets her end

Yusheng woke up feeling slightly groggy wrapped tightly in Pei jins arms. Her shifting wakes Pei Jin whose eyes were half opened and with that deep sleepy voice "awake? Are you feeling bad?"asks Pei Jin.

Yusheng's answers with hmm, and is gently massaged on her head by Pei jins big hands realeasing a sigh from her mouth.

Leaving her in bed he asks tao to come with things to clean up also with soup to dispel after effect of alcohol. Helping her gently to sit he feeds her the soup while nagging how he won't let her drink her so much next time.

Yusheng was smiling which stopped his nagging and gently cupping her face he gives her a kiss filled with love. After their lovely moments both are well dressed and head to have breakfast.

As the elders would be heading back to valley she leaves the manor to bid them farewell. As she expected the elders were waiting for her. After another round of teas and slight snacks elders and zhu mama leave for the valley.

After they were gone Yusheng was about to enter her study when she suddenly remembers that she has not visited Zhou Xuan for a longer time. She decides to end her fate so with with good mood walks towards the dungeon.

Zhou Xuan was skin and bones, her bones sticking out awkwardly, her face was shriveled and full of wrinkles, her half hair had turned white.

Her wounds were splitting and stitching simultaneously a horror to see. She was at the stage where she wasn't even able to twitch. One would think she is dead. Welcomed by this sight yusheng was pleased.

"Oh! Still alive what a stubborn life you have" the same words once Zhou Xuan had said to her comes from Yusheng's mouth. Closing in to her Yusheng pulls her hair and dumps a pill in her mouth.

Zhou Xuan felt her body gaining strength in a very fast rate. Struggling but slowly she pushes her trembling body to stand and speaks with her hoarse voice "kill me ... please.. let me die"

Yusheng felt the coldness wrapping her soul crumbling with Zhou xuan's begging. But she knew it was not enough to liberate her soul.

Hence mockingly she says "now.. now.. not so fast.. why hurry? I have yet to share exciting news and also show you exciting things.. be happy that you will get the honour to see me finally."

Indeed Zhou Xuan had always wanted to know The Who the voice belonged to or where she was thus even without her realizing she anticipated the moment when she would see from her eyes.

Having folded all this time she was afraid even with slight rustling sound of wind thinking her torturer have come. Even now she was feeling fear from the sounds she was hearing.

After having placed everything Yusheng goes behind zhou xuan and opens her blind fold. Her eyes were blurry and sunken so deep that it was frightening. Blinking for few minutes she sees a horrying image making her scream.

With her trembling hands she cups and feels her face and indeed finds that the horryifying image was her reflection in the mirror. She looked like a ghost right now. She had aged like 70 years full of wrinkles, skin and bones.

She knew the person was behind her as she could see that white skirt from mirror but she was too scared to turn back. She felt it was really her last day and if were to turn her head would roll.

Yusheng was loving every bit of this moment. Then still behind her she starts to speak "haven't you become beautiful.. no need to thank..Umm.. good that eyes work well.. now for your ears... I have news again.."
