Chapter 153 Dowry

The moonlight fell on the quiet city of Hejian Mansion.

In the middle of the night, no one was seen on the street.

Kong Ning and Liu Ruxue walked through the empty long street and came to the small courtyard next to the burned Liu Mansion.

This is Liu Ruxue's residence.

The two stood in front of the door, and Kong Ning, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.

"Miss Liu, you asked me to help you avenge before... Do you know how you got rid of all the demons in your family?"

Kong Ning finally asked this question.

Originally, he was worried.

But after getting along with Liu Ruxue for a few days, this gentle and lovely poor woman who ended up sad is a friend worthy of help.

Coupled with the backing of the black lotus demon girl, Kong Ning now has the confidence to intervene in this matter.

At least try it.

And his question made Liu Ruxue startled slightly.

Then he said: "Master, have you decided to help me? But..."

Liu Ruxue bit her lip, but hesitated to speak.

Kong Ning looked at her in surprise: "But what?"

Under the moonlight, Liu Ruxue quietly looked at Kong Ning in front of him, and the brand new white robe on Kong Ning.

In the end, she said slowly: "In fact, Ruxue has already seen the truth of the world after listening to the young master these days."

"The world is so dangerous, demons are rampant, and there are dead people everywhere."

"Between heaven and earth, there is a bloody storm."

"The destruction of all the families in the Liu family is just an embellishment in the cruel world. There are mortals like the Liu family who have been murdered by monsters everywhere in the world."

"Young master has a great future and a kind heart. There is no need to wrong yourself for the momentary enmity."

"Let it be useful and use it as a follow-up, so that more people can be saved in the future, so that tragedies like the Liu family will never happen again."

Liu Ruxue looked at Kong Ning who was dressed in white, and said quietly: "Hejian Mansion is dangerous, young master, let's go."

"Ru Xue is willing to let go of her hatred and leave with Young Master."

Liu Ruxue's soft whisper made Kong Ning slightly startled.

Didn't expect such a reaction at all.

This Miss Liu had tried her best to get close to Kong Ning and begged Kong Ning to help her take revenge.

Now that Kong Ning agreed, she actually gave up again...

Kong Ning said with a helpless smile: "Miss Liu, this Hejian Mansion is not something we can leave just as we say."

"I have an enemy in the Hejian Mansion, and I have to take care of it. I suspect that something important to me is with it. Even if I hide in the ends of the earth, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape being hunted down."

"So either I killed it, or it killed me."

"That's why I came here."

"Miss Liu, you are in a similar situation."

"The demon who destroyed your Liu family is not a kind person. The Holy Maiden of the Black Lotus told me that the demon was going to attack you half a year ago."

"It was only because you were distracted by other things and you left Hejian Mansion that you were able to settle down for half a year."

"But in the near future, the monster will come back. At that time, its first target will be you, Miss Liu."

"So this Hejian Mansion is not something we can leave just as we say..."

Kong Ning said: "We can only fight our way out if we face the difficulties."

Kong Ning's explanation made Liu Ruxue startled slightly.

"is that so……"

Kong Ning nodded and said: "That's true... That's why Miss Liu said bluntly, you and I are friends. In troubled times, it is extremely precious to have a confidant."

"I can't just sit back and watch you be killed by the demon, so you have to make a plan early and find out the truth of the demon before you can plan a follow-up."

Kong Ning's words made Liu Ruxue slightly silent.

Then she bit her lip and said, "Since that's the case, then I can only trouble you, Young Master..."

Now that she has made up her mind, she no longer pushes and persuades, and speaks bluntly.

"Although Ruxue didn't know the details of the monsters that filled the Mie Liu Mansion back then, she had guessed and seen her true face."

Liu Ruxue said faintly: "The origin of that incident was a Lantern Festival half a year ago..."

"On the Shaoxian River, the masters of Futai invited many talented scholars and literati to enjoy the night cruise and the Lantern Festival poetry meeting."

"Ru Xue has always loved poetry, so she went with her father that night and participated in the poetry meeting on the boat."

"But when the boat was halfway through, suddenly there was a strong wind howling, and the sound of a dragon's chant was faintly heard."

"Then there was an unexpected guest on board."

"That is a middle-aged man with a sturdy back and a handsome appearance. He is full of jewels and is very rich."

"He suddenly appeared among the buildings and boats, and he also wants to participate in the poetry meeting of the Lantern Festival."

"Master Futai saw that he was very generous, even though he came from a strange background, he still allowed him to enter the arena and take a seat."

"As for that man, he is quite talented. The seven-character poem he composed on the spot is neat and admirable."

"At the time of the final selection, the man's seven-character quatrains and Ruxue's five-character poem tied for fourth place."

"And this is the beginning of all disasters..."

When Liu Ruxue talked about this, her face was full of remorse and sadness: "After the selection was over, that man came to Ruxue and talked to me."

"At that time, I didn't know that he was a monster. I only thought that he was a person in the rivers and lakes, and he had good light skills, so he was able to climb the water and climb the river."

"After talking with him for a while, the man said that he admired my poems, and wanted to invite me to his home to have a chat. It would be best if he could marry him as a concubine and be at ease."

"I was annoyed with Meng Lang, so I walked away."

"And the man laughed loudly, saying that sooner or later he would invite me to his house as a concubine."

"Afterwards, halfway through the poem meeting, the man suddenly disappeared, and no one could find him. Everyone just thought he had left, and no one cared about his strangeness."

"But after that night, every ten days, a wooden box will appear on the screen wall of the gate of Liu Mansion, containing treasures."

"Or the night pearl, or the emerald bottle, or the golden dragon head..."

"And every time the wooden box appears, the treasures in the wooden box will be accompanied by a note declaring that this is a betrothal gift."

"My father was annoyed at this man's sneaky behavior, so he sealed up all the treasures, and guarded near Zhaobi every night, trying to catch the sneaky Meng Lang."

"But the wooden box keeps appearing once every ten days. Although my father's martial arts skills are high, he can't catch any traces of the monster. He doesn't even know how the wooden box appeared."

"Until half a year ago, at another poetry meeting in the city, I saw that demon again."

"He is also handsome, jewel-like, and has a good temperament. He suddenly appeared in the poetry meeting and walked towards me with a smile."

"I was stopped in a corner by him, unable to get away. He declared that the bride price had been paid a lot, and asked me when I would like to go home with him. If I don't go with him, his patience will be exhausted."

"And at that time, I already guessed that he is not ordinary," said Liu Ruxue's eyes trembling and misty.

"After all, being able to keep sending wooden boxes under my father's nose is not something that can be explained by lightness kung fu."

"In the face of such an extraordinary existence, all the power and force of my Liu family are as ridiculous as floating clouds, and there is no way to resist."

"But I still told him that it is absolutely impossible. If he insists, I would rather die..."

Having said that, Liu Ruxue closed her eyes in despair, feeling very regretful.

"However, this sentence made him laugh out loud."

"He told me I had no choice and no chance to kill myself."

"If I don't promise him, even death is an extravagant hope."

"Because he will kill my whole family of Liu's family, so that I will always hate him. And let me always remember that it was my refusal that killed the whole family of Liu's family. As an unfilial daughter who killed my whole family, I am not qualified to commit suicide... "

Liu Ruxue's eyes were full of despair and sadness.
