3 King Yama Told Me (1/2)

Something felt wrong but still, it also felt normal. It seems like she'll have to ponder upon this subject another day. In the present, the poison cannot kill her, not when she has her power suppressing it. Hongyue sat down and gently dusted blush on to her cheeks and firmly pressed her lips down upon the red lipstick paper. As she anticipated, footsteps softly headed her way.

”First Miss... My Lady... Are you all right?” A mocking tone floated inside the room.

Hongyue didn't answer as her eyes turn cold. She continued to press her lips against the red paper.

The servant gleefully smiled as she thought she finished her mission. 10 gold pieces were hard to earn even in a year. That kind of prize was worth killing such a useless trash. She delightfully fingered one of the gold pieces. She happily pushed open the door expecting to see a dead body. To her horror, she gazed up upon the eldest miss slowly fixing her makeup in front of her dresser. The poor servant stumbled back.

”Ghost! Spirit! Foul spirit!” She cried.

Hongyue turned slowly around and softly spoke, ”Ghost? Where? Tell me where. I wanna know.”

”Please spare me, I'll burn phantom money, I didn't want to kill you...Yes! Her lady told me to do this! She paid me to do this!”, The servant's voice got shriller by the minute.

”Really?” Hongyue tilts her head.

”Yes!” The servant nodded her head rapidly. She was starting to feel dizzy.

”Say, do I look pretty?” Hongyue drawled out.

”Yes! Very pretty! More than the young misses in this manor!”

”Hmm. Do you know when I met the King Yama, what he said to me?”

The servant swung her head vigorously.

”I was too pretty to be taken so he asked if I could find some other girls to sent to him in my place.”

The servant slumped down shaking in fear. ”..y.you..can't..you have no power..yeah..you're nothing.. what can you do..”

Hongyue grinned.

”I can send you to hell.”
