Chapter 235: Karma

“Aunt Wen, huh…” Qiao Mu gently uttered, atypical musing in her tone.

‘Don’t understand why? You don’t need to understand.’

‘You only need to know that I don’t need you to be a part of my future!’

‘If you had nicely stayed far away from me, I would’ve spared you. However, you just had to approach me so stupidly, so… I have no choice but to let you die!’

‘I don’t mind dying my hands red with your blood because you owe it to me from our previous life!’

‘The cycle of karma led to appropriate retribution! Since the heavens decided to spare you, I will personally take care of you!’

Qiao Mu stood in front of the banister and darkly looked ahead. The lingering light of the setting sun painted the distant sky an orange-red, a befitting complement to the dash of blood below her.

Her tiny figure was abruptly carried in a princess hold. Only she knew how tense her body was, but her body slightly relaxed under this forceful warmth.

“Clean it up.” After the crown prince said that, he carried the child away without looking back.

Hidden Flower, who was standing on the high stage and facing a mirror to clean up his messy hair and decaying flesh, sighed when he heard this. “Not only do I have to pretend to be a zombie, but I also have to chase a woman to run all over the streets! Now I even have to stay behind to clean up!”

The life of a subordinate was very bitter!

Hidden Flower lifted his sleeves and took a sniff of his stench, nearly causing himself to faint.

No wonder Hidden Current was so miserable after pretending to be a zombie for so long!

It could truly stink someone to death!

“Waah waah waah waah!!!” Hidden Flower made a few “zombie calls” and shouted himself hoarse to call a group of people over.

“Ah, cough cough cough.” Blah! When he got back, he had to ask the crown prince for a throat-soothing pill! His throat freaking hurt from screaming!

Unfortunately, the youth screamed for half a day, but why would the common people come and seek death? Upon hearing that the opera house had a zombie inside, who dared to trespass?

Thankfully, someone went to inform City Lord Gu.

City Lord Gu did not take a long time to come, but by the time he summoned a group of people and arrived with a displeased expression, it was nearly an hour later.

The people took a few steps inside the desolate garden and saw the dead Wen Ruwan with her eyes still open laying on the ground in front of the opera house.

City Lord Gu and his group were shocked for a second before countless people drew their weapon and aimed it at the dead Wen Ruwan, afraid that she would jump up like a pretend corpse in the next second!

After waiting for half a day without any response, City Lord Gu darkly gestured for them to advance with his hand. “Go, search the premises! See if that zombie is still inside the garden!”

Without any surprise, they ended up empty-handed. Hidden Flower was not stupid, so he naturally fled after attracting people to this place.

“City Lord, what should we do about this girl?” Zhang Yan merely felt like this dead girl looked a bit familiar but could not recall when he had seen her. After all, he dealt with so many people entering the city every day, so how could he remember everyone?

“We must hurry and burn the corpse so as to avoid it mutating later,” City Lord Gu decisively said. “After she’s incinerated, look into her identity. We have to let her family know.”

After City Lord Gu said that, he sighed. These days, people died every day, so City Lord Gu had gotten used to it.

Zhang Yan nodded and directed the strong men to stuff the girl into a bag for corpses to transport her.

A fire set Wen Ruwan ablaze, turning her into ashes.

Something flickered across Qiao Mu’s eyes as she silently stood on an arched bridge and intently stared at the flowing water under the bridge.

She turned her hand over. A white porcelain jar quietly laid in her palm.
