The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 359 - A Moth To The Flame

Chapter 359 - A Moth To The Flame

Xie Qiao nodded slightly. The others were so scared that they lost their minds and did not pay attention to her.
The ghoul saw her nod and suddenly started to circle in the air excitedly.
A small tornado blew up around her and swept up a little dust on the ground.
"You can see me! Oh my, are you a living dead?" The ghoul tried to touch her, however, when it touched her shoulder, its fingers seemed to be charred. The pain made it grimace and scream, "A-Are you a Celestial Master who can capture souls?! Wow, you're so powerful. I'm in so much pain!"
Xie Qiao could not say anything in front of many people.
She could only smile helplessly.
The lively ghoul quickly touched its injured fingers. After a while, it suddenly recalled, "Then q-quickly tell the Crown Prince that it's him. It's Prince Consort Zhou! He's the one who killed us! He's really bad! The others were all drowned alive and trapped under the water, unable to come out. After a long time, they all lost consciousness. I was the only one. When I was thrown into the water, I lost my breath, so I could float around!"
Prince Consort Zhou?
Xie Qiao was surprised.
She did not need to ask further. The ghoul beside her was chattering non-stop.
"Prince Consort Zhou is really bad! Ignore how talented he was when he was young, but in reality, s-something's wrong with him!" The ghoul was very angry, "I'm a distant relative of the Zhou family. More than ten years ago, my Mother brought me to the capital. Because of my relationship with the Zhou family, I came to their house as a guest and stayed there for a few days.
"But that day, after I ate my fill and fell asleep, when I woke up, I was locked in an empty room. The usually gentle Prince Consort Zhou became especially terrifying. He drew portraits of me and kept drawing. I don't know how many days he spent drawing. Later, he got annoyed and moved a big box to lock me inside.
"I kept struggling and struggling, and I didn't eat. I didn't have any strength. When my head fell on the box, I died. He thought I only fainted, so he stuffed me into the box and then sank to the bottom of the water.
"Later, many women were locked in the house like me!
"However, he was not satisfied with some of them. He drew a few pictures and starved them to death. He didn't throw them out and bury them. He just piled them up there, letting them rot…
"In the past few years, fewer people died. Unless he was in a bad mood, he wouldn't kill. However, if he saw someone as beautiful as you, he would still be tempted."
When Xie Qiao heard that, she felt her scalp go numb.
In other words, there were more than 19 corpses?
No, including the princess' coffin, there were 20.
"Sigh, I pity my Mother. The day after I was locked up, my Mother was also gone. We didn't have a backer. We didn't have anyone at all. Many people in the Zhou family thought that we had left."
The ghoul sighed, "Fortunately, my Mother didn't die in pain. She didn't know anything and just went down in a daze. She should've been reincarnated by now.
"I've been drifting all these years. I don't know how to leave. Other ghouls can't leave the pond and the well of the Zhou Residence. As for me, I can't leave the Zhou Residence. Oh right, there was another ghoul of a maidservant who was killed by the water ghoul. That maidservant used to follow Prince Consort Zhou. She was also quite bad. She went to the front courtyard earlier, and I can't find her now."
The corner of Xie Qiao's lips twitched.
If she was not wrong, that maidservant's soul was destroyed by her.
However, it was not her fault. Who asked that soul to charge directly at her?
It was that soul that bumped into those talismans on her body. It was the case of a moth to the flame.
That was why, as a soul, you should learn to be more steady.
