Chapter 15: Chapter 3_6"Uh." "Uh." Finally, after passing the fish pond, Li Sanjiang arrived in front of Big Beard's house. It was already late at night, not only was Big Beard's house dark, but the few visible neighboring houses were also without lights, and no one could be seen. Li Sanjiang turned sideways, crouched down, his left hand spread towards Big Beard's house and his right hand spread towards where Little Yuanhou was standing, and he began to speak: "Today I offer to you, next year I will hold a ceremony for you, I have done my humanly duties, are you satisfied now? Whether it be in the underworld or the living world, there must be reason! Take your revenge if you have been wronged, pursue your enemies if you have hate, everyone's life is full of hardships, do not pursue against the natural order." After Li Sanjiang finished speaking, he sneakily glanced in Li Zhiyuan's direction, noticing there were still two figures, one tall and one short, standing quietly one behind the other. "Little Yuanhou, kneel down." Li Zhiyuan did not kneel; he still stood holding the incense burner. "Little Yuanhou?" Li Sanjiang softly urged. "Grandmaster... I can't kneel." Li Zhiyuan wanted to kneel, but felt a force on his shoulder keeping him from bending down. Li Sanjiang took a deep breath and immediately recited: "The child is young, the child doesn't understand, the child owes you nothing, I have led you to this path, shown you the door, do you really intend to ignore all reason?" After he spoke, the figures remained unchanged, still those two figures, one large and one small. Anger flashed in Li Sanjiang's eyes, he withdrew his arms that were originally spread out as a "bridge" and thrust his fingers into the ground, his nails embedding with a large amount of dark mud. "You walk beneath the water, I drift above it, I tried to reason with you, you wouldn't have it, I tried to appease you, you wouldn't listen, fine then, force me to turn the tables and let's all go ask the Dragon King to judge!" Li Sanjiang's demeanor became solemn, he had never wanted, nor dared, to confront that entity directly, but things had progressed to this point, he had no choice, he couldn't have brought out the Corpse only to carry it back home. However, just then, a "creak" sound was heard as the big iron gate of Big Beard's house was opened. Li Sanjiang looked over and saw two people standing behind the gate, Big Beard and his youngest son, both just wearing large boxers, bare-chested and barefooted. For a moment, Li Sanjiang felt a bit intimidated; this was something he was doing sneaky, if found out by others right then, it would be hard to settle after. But soon, Li Sanjiang noticed something wrong. He saw Big Beard and his son, not even glancing at him standing outside the gate, but rather walking dazedly towards the direction of the fish pond. As they passed in front of Li Sanjiang, he noticed they were walking on their toes, heels not touching the ground. Thus, the father and son walked side by side, wobbling yet never falling, they reached the fish pond and didn't stop, continuing downwards. Walking into the water, moving forward, water passing their knees, passing their waists, passing their shoulders, and finally... passing over their heads. "Splash!" Li Zhiyuan felt a release on his body, and he sat directly on the ground, Li Sanjiang immediately ran over to protect him. "Child, are you okay?" Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Li Zhiyuan didn't answer, but blankly raised his hand, pointing ahead. Ahead, was the figure of Little Huang Ying, her arms stretched forward, hands opened, as if feeling around, though walking slowly, she too came to the edge of the fish pond, and then, walked into the water. Seemingly sensing the water beneath her, she slowly lowered her arms, her steps became more stable. She began to twist her waist, as if dancing the same dance she had performed the day before on this platform by this fish pond. Her dance was still unprofessional, now even more inconsistent due to stiff joints, yet she was deeply immersed. Her figure, under the night sky, sometimes submerged, sometimes suddenly visible, flickering in and out of sight. Every time she appeared, the water raised a bit more upon her. Gradually, her cheongsam's slit-covered legs were no longer visible, her twisting hips were no longer visible, her not-so-high but tightly dressed chest was no longer visible. The water passed over her neck, blurring her hair, she raised her arms, facing the night sky, still performing. Quickly, her head too submerged under the water surface, on the surface, only her arms remained, then gradually only her wrists, then only her hands... As her hands also slowly vanished into the water surface, leaving only a clump of black algae. In the end, accompanied by the last ripple, Everything, Disappeared. Li Sanjiang carried Li Zhiyuan on his back, bent over and ran away, after running a good distance, he put down the child and took out a cigarette pack while hitting his sore back. Seeing the child spaced out, he advised, "Listen to Grandmaster, just treat it like a dream, when you wake up tomorrow, you'll have forgotten everything." Li Zhiyuan obediently nodded, but he felt, that scene just now, he might not be able to forget, it would always remain fixed in his memory. Flicking the cigarette ash off, seeing the child still emotionally low, Li Sanjiang teased: "Little Yuanhou, you can think about something soon that'll cheer you up." "Something cheering?" Li Sanjiang pointed with his cigarette-baring fingers towards Big Beard's house and replied: "We'll feast!"
