Chapter 1046 Princess Aruan
Chapter 1046 Princess Aruan
Jiang Fenghua was still recalling the feeling of touching Madam A Li's hands. Taking advantage of the darkness, she stroked her own fingers back and forth. Her fingers were slender, warm, and fleshy. Madam A Li's hands were thin, cold, and even lacked muscle support, as if they were just a skeleton with only bones.
She quickly sorted out her thoughts. Like Danjimai, their bodies had long since rotted away, leaving only decaying flesh and bones.
Danjimai even peeled off the skin of a young woman and put it on himself. Could it be that Lady Ali in front of him also used someone else's skin to appear so young? Her appearance is indeed very similar to that of the Queen, like twins.
Many years ago, Gongsun Lan met a woman who also had the Other Shore Curse. In the end, that woman's body was used by Danji Mai. Zhang Yumo and the Queen both have it. Does this mean that anyone with the Other Shore Curse will become Lady A Li's body?
Zhang Yumo did not escape. Has she already fallen victim to Danjimai's evil deeds?
Their purpose in bringing Danji Aruan into the palace was not to develop a resurrection drug, but simply because Lady Ali coveted her beautiful appearance. A thousand years ago, both Ashina Xue and Danji Aruan would have been skinned alive by Lady Ali.
A thousand years later, she, Zhang Yumo, and another woman who had already been murdered all had the Other Shore Curse on them. They would often lose control of their minds and arouse resentment in their hearts. It was Danji Mai who was behind it.
In Xichuan, Danjimai tricked Zhang Yumo into going to the underground palace because he wanted her skin.
The thought of Danjimai's original appearance made her feel nauseous and vomit. She wondered if Lady Ali's appearance was also ugly and disgusting.
At this moment, Madam A-Li was having a late-night snack when she touched Hei Jiang Feng Hua and smelled a bloody odor.
She thought to herself: Could it be that Madam A-Li is eating a part of a person's body?
Even if Jiang Fenghua was incredibly brave, she couldn't accept a monster eating a living person. No wonder people were frequently stolen from the palace in Baili Shang's memory.
He said that there was more than one Golden Toad. If other families also possessed them, they would use the Golden Toad to develop a secret technique for rebirth. Everyone would use living people as test subjects, and the people of Yinchuan would suffer terribly. The skies above Yinchuan would be filled with wronged souls. This would be the true Ghost Realm.
"Your daughter will take her leave now," Ashina Xue's voice rang out.
Madam A-Li seemed satisfied, and her voice became gentle and kind, "My dear A-Xue, thank you for your hard work."
“Daughter, it’s not hard for you. As long as your mother is here, I won’t feel tired,” Ashina Xue said gently.
The palace was pitch black, and Ashina Xue felt tense even when she was breathing. Just as she was about to leave the palace, Ali suddenly spoke coldly: "Aruan will be my daughter from now on. Ashina Xue must take care of Aruan as her own sister. Her mother died early and she was a pitiful child."
"Yes," Ashina Xue replied respectfully.
"Aunt Kui." Madam A Li's voice rang out again in the air.
Soon, Kui Gu took a box and walked up to Jiang Fenghua. A lantern was lit in front of her, and a faint light appeared in the dark palace. The light pierced through the dark red lantern, turning the surroundings blood red. Jiang Fenghua felt oppressed.
Kui Gu said, "These are beauty pills that the Madam bestowed upon the Second Princess. Please take them, Second Princess!"
Aunt Kui not only brought the pills, but also handed her a glass of water.
The voice of Danji Aruan echoed in Jiang Fenghua's mind again: You can't eat it.
Jiang Fenghua remained calm and composed as she picked up the pill. "Thank you for the gift, Madam. I'll take it when I get back!"
Kui Gu said coldly, "Not just anyone can be favored by the Madam. Second Princess, you should eat!"
Ashina Xue's complexion was clearly abnormal. She said, "Sister Aruan, don't worry. This is a secret recipe of our Ashina tribe. It can not only prolong life but also keep you young forever. Look at Mother, she is so young because she took the secret recipe."
The maids gradually lit the candlesticks in the palace, and the palace was instantly as bright as day.
When the candlelight shone on Lady Ari's face, her skin appeared translucent and smooth, like a peeled egg. Her delicate features made her look nothing like a woman in her forties; she even looked younger than Ashina Xue.
Jiang Fenghua clearly remembered that Madam A Li wasn't like this just now.
The "mother and daughter" really do look exactly alike. If it weren't for their different temperaments and hairstyles, it would be really hard to tell them apart.
Madam Ali calmly walked up to Jiang Fenghua, her eyes gleaming with the sharp light of a tiger eyeing its prey. She said with great interest, "Your appearance is even more outstanding than your mother's. Indeed, you have a... beautiful face!"
Jiang Fenghua had already guessed her purpose, but she pretended to be innocent and said, "I have long forgotten what my mother looks like. I'm afraid only you, Madam, can remember what my mother looks like."
Her eyes were red. "I miss my mother so much. I've always been alone. I never thought I'd see my aunt again."
Tears streamed down her face. Madam A-Li stepped forward and hugged her to comfort her, "Good child, from now on your aunt will love you, you will never be alone again."
Jiang Fenghua has a very sensitive nose. As A Li got closer to her, the stench became stronger and stronger. She even saw green liquid in A Li's scalp, just like Danji Mai's. It seems that her guess was completely correct.
She felt a churning in her stomach and almost vomited.
When Xie Shang tore open Danji Mai's skin and exposed his true form, that was when he was at his most vulnerable. I don't know why they couldn't kill him, or why it wasn't easy to kill him.
Once she takes the "beauty pill" in her hand, Danji Aruan will never escape its effects for the rest of her life.
“Aunt.” Jiang Fenghua stopped crying. “My mother was actually killed by my father. It was he who killed my mother, leaving me without a mother since I was a child. He killed my mother in order to marry the daughter of the Mu family. I hate him so much. I want him to be annihilated even after he dies. Aunt, do you have any way to avenge my mother?”
She wanted to see Danjimai turn to ashes with her own eyes.
Ah Li saw the fierce look in her eyes and suddenly laughed. She hadn't expected this little girl to be so ruthless, which suited her just the way she wanted.
"I'll do whatever you want with my aunt, Danji Mai." A-Li didn't think there was anything wrong with killing her own father. She stroked Danji A-Ruan's cheek as if she were touching a precious work of art.
This face is too perfect; she can't wait to possess it.
Ashina Xue looked into her mother's eyes, which reminded her of some terrifying things. She said, "I have official business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
She looked at Danji Aruan with a hint of pity in her eyes. Who could blame her for being so beautiful? If she weren't so beautiful, her mother wouldn't have chosen her.
Looking at the eyes of the mother and daughter, Jiang Fenghua wondered if Madam A-Li wanted A-Ruan's body right now.
Her legs went weak and she cried out "Ouch!" before squatting down and pressing her hands against her ankles.
Ah Li asked, "What's wrong?"
"My feet hurt," she whispered.
She lifted her trousers and saw that both of her ankles were bruised, and in some places the skin was chafed raw by the chains.
Upon seeing this, Madam A-Li said coldly, "How did you get injured? Who did this?"
Jiang Fenghua quickly replied, "It's just a minor injury, Auntie, don't worry. It will heal in a while."
