Chapter 007: I Killed the Person
Lingyun Mountain, located dozens of kilometers away from the county town, was reached by the taxi around noon.
"Miss, are you heading to the town? I can give you a discounted ride since I'm going that way," the driver offered as he was about to leave. He had noticed a woman approaching from a short distance.
When Lin Feng saw the approaching figure, his face turned pale. "Yujie, when did you arrive?"
"Just two minutes before you," Yujie replied expressionlessly.
"Huh? How did you get here? When I left, you were still in the hospital," Lin Feng felt uneasy.
Yujie's expression remained indifferent. "I saw you taking a taxi, so I followed in one."
"Don't cling to me, okay? Go back to your own home!" Lin Feng said anxiously.
Disappointed, Yujie looked at Lin Feng with misty eyes. "Are you really going to abandon Yujie? If you truly can't remember anything, can't you at least take care of me? Do you doubt everything I say?"
Yujie's tone was desolate, emitting a heart-wrenching pain.
"Lin Feng, look at me!" Yujie's gaze turned ice-cold. "Either take care of me, or kill me!"
Lin Feng broke into a cold sweat, fearing Yujie might do something extreme. "Yujie, I... Fine, I promise you now. I will take good care of you."
Suddenly, Yujie's expression changed, and she chuckled. "Feng Ge, did you remember something?"
"Oh no!" Lin Feng instantly felt defeated. "Are you playing with me?"
Yujie grinned, "I know you have amnesia, so I won't blame you. I did this to help you regain your memory."
Lin Feng pounded his chest and sighed, wondering why he should believe the words of someone seemingly deranged.
The taxi driver nearby, perplexed, muttered to himself, "Two lunatics," and promptly drove away.
Lin Feng was desperate. How could he get rid of her? "Ah!"
A scream echoed from a distance. "Someone's dead! Someone has been killed!"
Lin Feng froze. In this small town with simple folk, he had never heard of anyone being killed. Following the shout, he saw a taxi parked under a dim streetlight.
"I killed the person," Yujie calmly declared, as if it were an inconsequential matter, as if it had nothing to do with her.
"What?" Lin Feng was shocked. "You killed someone?"
"Yes," Yujie turned her head, a resentful tone in her voice. "Feng Ge, when I took the taxi here, I didn't have money. The driver tried to take advantage of me. Such shameless scum deserves to die!"
Lin Feng felt a chill run down his spine. "Wait, you, with your injuries, could kill someone? I doubt you could even kill a chicken. Are you playing with me?"
Yujie looked serious. "There have been hundreds, if not thousands, who died at the hands of a wounded Yujie. Those who disrespect the higher-ups must die! If it weren't for Dr. Yang treating my injuries and asking me so many questions, he would be dead already!"
Lin Feng touched Yujie's forehead and shook his head. "Oh... you're seriously ill..."
Why is my life so miserable? God, please save me.
At night, moonlight draped the mountain woods in a silver veil. The night on the mountain was colder than below, and the cold wind made Lin Feng shiver.
This was a tiny hill called Niutou Village, with only a dozen households, living in poverty.
At the village entrance, dogs barked, waking many people up.
Chu Yuxiang was sleeping when she heard the dog barking. She immediately got up and turned on the light. Hearing footsteps outside, she shouted, "Feng, is that you?"
"Mom, it's me."
"You rascal, I was so worried! I thought something happened to you! You dared to hang up my call when I called last night! You made me go up the mountain in the middle of the night to find you!" A beautiful woman with a slight limp appeared in front of Lin Feng, glaring at him with anger.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I made you worry..." Lin Feng couldn't explain last night's events clearly, so it was better not to explain at all.
"Who is she?" After scolding her son, Chu Yuxiang noticed a girl in a patient's gown standing beside him, staring at her with hostility.
"Mom, sorry, she's my classmate, Yujie. Her parents are both drama actors."
Lin Feng extended his hand, "Call her Aunt."
Yujie, with a cold expression, said, "Hello, Aunt."
Chu Yuxiang didn't ask much and smiled, "Alright, it's late. Tomorrow, I have to go to the county. You've traveled a long way, tired, right? Rest early. Feng, let your friend sleep in your room, and you can sleep with me tonight."
Chu Yuxiang went in, and Lin Feng pulled Yujie aside, whispering in her ear, "She's my mom. You must respect her like the Queen Mother. If you do this again, I won't talk to you!"
"Is she your mom?" Yujie stared at Chu Yuxiang's back, her eyes glinting.
"Hurry up and come in. What are you staring at?" Lin Feng urged.
"Oh, coming, Mom."
"Remember, be nice to my mom! Don't mention anything about traveling through time in front of her! Got it?" Lin Feng reminded Yujie again.
Chu Yuxiang brought Yujie to the house where Lin Feng slept. From an old cabinet, she took out a new set of bedding. "Your skin is so good, and you look like a rich girl. This bed Lin Feng slept in... look at how messy it is. I'll get you a new one since you're a clean girl."
Chu Yuxiang kept a close eye on Yujie, and Yujie also watched Chu Yuxiang carefully. An invisible hostility emanated from both.
"Okay, no one's around now. Who are you really? What's your purpose with Lin Feng?" Chu Yuxiang suddenly turned around, an overwhelming sense of killing intent enveloping Yujie.
At this moment, Chu Yuxiang, who seemed like an ordinary countrywoman, was undoubtedly an extraordinary master!
Yujie's eyes, full of fear, involuntarily took two steps back under the pressure of the killing intent. "I am Lin Feng's classmate, and my parents are drama actors..."
"Classmate? Hmph! Trying to deceive me!" Chu Yuxiang's face turned cold, her eyes sharp as a knife. "I've thoroughly investigated all of Lin Feng's classmates. Tell me, who are you? If you don't, I'll kill you now!"
Yujie could only tell the truth now, "I am the Ninth Princess of the Holy Temple in the Fantasy Continent. Who are you?"
"Holy Temple? Ninth Princess?" Chu Yuxiang was stunned, her face
showing surprise. She recalled her memories, and there was no Ninth Princess in the Holy Temple, only the Third and Eighth Princesses. "So, you're not from Zhuge Liuyun?"
Chu Yuxiang dispelled the killing intent. If it were Zhuge Liuyun's people, Lin Feng would have died long ago. Would they still come back together?
Yujie said, "Zhuge Liuyun died nine years ago. Now his son, Zhuge Wu, has taken over his position. Tell me, who are you in the Holy Temple?"
"Dead? Haha, retribution for evil deeds! I'm from the Dragon Sect." Yujie was surprised, "Fourth Elder Long Tian?"
