210: I haven't learned to beg

Inside the Anomaly Mirror:

Chu Qing looked around.

He found that the restaurant was very large, divided into nine upper and lower floors, with a huge central atrium that was fifty square meters in size.

Every floor was bustling.

On the top floor of the atrium, a platform was suspended.

On the platform, a beauty played the Pipa.

A group of people cheered.

Chu Qing ascended the stairs.

When he touched other people, he was blocked.

It was like a real world.

“Interesting!”

Chu Qing turned to go downstairs.

However, his body was out of control and continued to go upstairs.

“Hmm?”

“What does this mean?”

He walked and stopped, finding that as long as he tried to go downstairs, his body would be out of control.

If he stayed on any floor for too long, a force would control his body to go upstairs.

“Is it a plot?”

Chu Qing’s heart stirred, and he simply gave up controlling his body.

Then, he discovered:

His body moved through the various floors.

Sometimes he flirted with women, sometimes he drank with Jianghu ruffians.

He even casually grabbed handfuls of silver coins and threw them around.

Wherever he went, he was purely the center of attention.

“A life of indulgence!”

Chu Qing vaguely had a feeling that all of this was a re-enactment of yesterday.

What he was experiencing should be the past of some deceased Anomaly, or perhaps, someone who caused an Anomaly’s death.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Qing reached the top floor.

The people gathered here were either rich or noble.

These people stared intently at the Pipa Woman in the middle of the platform.

The Pipa Woman was very beautiful; her slender fingers flew, and the Pipa jingled, like large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Chu Qing’s body also watched in fascination.

Suddenly, the Pipa Woman waved her hand.

Chu Qing unexpectedly appeared on the platform.

The Pipa Woman, with wine in her mouth, was about to feed his body.

One minute later:

Chu Qing’s thoughts were strange.

“The body controlling me actually wouldn’t let me experience the taste of a beauty’s sweet lips.”

“Truly… shameless.”

The Pipa Woman plucked the Pipa, humming a strange tune.

Suddenly:

Chu Qing felt his body convulse.

What was happening?

The Pipa Woman’s fingers still flew, plucking the Pipa.

“Why?”

The body itself spoke, emitting a hoarse voice.

The Pipa Woman was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, “My lord, what did you say?”

“Why did you poison me with a strange toxin?”

The Pipa Woman panicked, looking at the wine nearby, then at Chu Qing.

She said in a fluster:

“What are you saying?”

“What strange toxin?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t.”

The Pipa Woman was alarmed; she pounced on Chu Qing, frantically searching, as if checking for something.

Chu Qing felt his nose heat up.

Blood flowed.

Even his vision turned red.

Blood also flowed from his ears.

Every pore on his body began to bleed.

At this moment:

He had a feeling.

Ten minutes:

In just ten minutes, he would die.

At this moment:

The guests on the top floor were silent.

Everyone stared intently at him.

Then, this silence spread downstairs.

The eighth floor was silent.

The seventh floor was silent… Finally, only the bottom floor was silent too.

But, not long after, someone shouted loudly:

“Yi Ren Yu is dead.”

“Kill his running dog!”

The next second:

Shouts of killing erupted on the first floor.

Screams rang out one after another.

The entire restaurant began to shake.

However, the guests on the other floors were not alarmed.

They looked up, staring intently at Yi Ren Yu’s position.

Which was Chu Qing’s position.

Gurgle!

Gurgle!

Chu Qing vomited blood, staining the Pipa Woman red.

The Pipa Woman was terrified; she pleaded with the people around her, begging them to save Yi Ren Yu.

Result:

No one paid her any attention.

A sense of despair rose in Chu Qing’s heart.

He felt that the Pipa Woman’s panic was fake.

He could even sense that some of the Pipa Woman’s expressions were full of joy and excitement.

Chu Qing instantly understood:

The Pipa Woman was aware, and even a key player in plotting against Yi Ren Yu.

“Yi Ren Yu, ambushed by his old lover?”

“The entire large restaurant is filled with people trying to kill him?”

At this moment:

Yi Ren Yu’s voice suddenly spoke to Chu Qing:

“Stranger, tell me, what should I do now?”

Chu Qing knew that this was the Anomaly talking to him.

Without thinking, he said:

“You have about five minutes left to live; you should kill them.”

“Kill everyone in the restaurant.”

Yi Ren Yu was silent, then after a long time said, “But, my beloved is here.”

Chu Qing sneered, “Beloved? As long as you’re alive, there will always be new beloveds.”

“What’s more, this beloved even plotted against you.”

Yi Ren Yu was silent again.

The last minute:

Yi Ren Yu, with his own blood, cursed the entire restaurant, and even the entire Huangniu Town.

He cursed everyone except the Pipa Woman to die.

He cursed the people here to forever repeat this day.

Then:

The next second, the scene shifted.

Chu Qing returned to the restaurant again.

Everything started over.

At the same time:

Madam Shi and Dean Shi Ji found an additional wound on his body.

The wound was deep enough to see bone.

The two immediately applied Secret medicine to him.

However, the wound did not heal.

The blood flowed uncontrollably.

The two became anxious.

If the bleeding couldn’t be stopped, even a small wound could take a person’s life.

“His self-healing ability is too weak.”

“If he practiced Blood Refinement and Flesh Refinement, perhaps he could heal himself.”

Dean Shi Ji’s expression was solemn.

Madam Shi gritted her teeth and said, “Impossible!”

“There must be a way.”

She closed her eyes, silk falling from her sleeves, intending to pull away the bronze mirror.

As a result, the bronze mirror remained motionless.

Dean Shi Ji said, “Look closely, his hand didn’t even touch the bronze mirror.”

“Unless… an Anomaly helped.”

Madam Shi was bewildered.

Anomaly?

Those people were elusive.

Where could she find them?

“Take him back first.”

Madam Shi gritted her teeth and said, “If Chu Qing dies, I’ll throw the mirror in the busiest part of Zhou City, and let the entire Zhou City be buried with him.”

Dean Shi Ji was dumbfounded.

At this moment:

Neither of them noticed that when Madam Shi said she would let Zhou City be buried with him, the bronze mirror trembled slightly.

Inside the bronze mirror:

Chu Qing repeated the same events again.

But this time, he used all his strength and still did not go upstairs.

Yi Ren Yu’s voice rang out: “Why aren’t you going up?”

“Don’t you Mortals love to watch Anomalies die?”

Chu Qing sneered, “If I don’t want to do something, no one can control me.”

Yi Ren Yu was silent.

One minute… half an hour… his body suddenly bled without warning, and Yi Ren Yu cursed the restaurant and Huangniu Town again.

It repeated once more.

At this moment:

Chu Qing’s main body had another wound.

Then:

Dean Shi Ji and Madam Shi discovered:

Every minute, Chu Qing gained another wound.

The wounds were neither big nor small, and very neat.

Blood flowed endlessly.

Chu Qing’s face visibly paled.

Madam Shi took many blood-making Secret medicines and stuffed them into Chu Qing’s mouth.

“Hold on!”

After speaking, she carried Chu Qing and rushed straight to Zhou City.

Dean Shi Ji also quickly followed.

Inside the bronze mirror:

Chu Qing experienced the repetition again.

Yi Ren Yu said, “You are an interesting person.”

“Burning your external Foundation with fire.”

“Then stubbornly resisting me head-on.”

“You clearly know it’s death, so why not die easily, without struggling?”

“Why do you still struggle and resist me?”

Chu Qing sneered, “What I want to do, is it any of your business?”

Yi Ren Yu said in surprise, “I thought you would beg me, flatter me.”

“Perhaps, I would let you go.”

Chu Qing sneered, “I, Chu Qing, have never learned to beg.”

Yi Ren Yu… smiled.
