Chapter 415
Le Zheng Shuiling tossed and turned all night, and the closer it got to the time of being conferred the title, the more nervous and scared she became.
"No, I can't go to receive the title while still half asleep. It's okay, Shui Ling, just get some sleep."
Just when she decided to go to sleep and closed her eyes, there was a noise outside and the lights were bright.
Just when she was dozing off, a hurried knock on the door woke her up. She thought something had happened and hurried to open the door, but they walked in on their own and were busy. Le Zheng Shui Ling was just a passive player throughout the whole process.
"Wait a minute, what are you doing? Why are you acting like I'm getting married?"
"Although it is bright red, it is not a wedding dress."
"That's right. Originally, when we were making the new clothes, my aunt said blue would be good, but the head of the family said red would suit you better." She pressed the clothes on her body and said, "It's really good."
Le Zheng Shui Ling looked at herself in the mirror wearing new clothes and couldn't help but sigh: "Although they are all bright red clothes, they really don't look like wedding clothes for brides. They have a bit more heroic spirit. The tailor's skills are impeccable."
Le Zheng Shui Ling was praising the tailor, but in fact she was praising Le Zheng Qin. The maid next to her didn't understand and continued, "Isn't it? We specially asked the master from Huacheng to make it. I heard that the master of the family specifically said that money is not a problem, but even though it is urgent, we can't be careless."
Le Zheng Shuiling just smiled and couldn't help yawning. A female servant came over and supported her shoulders.
"We are going to start combing our hair and getting dressed. Miss Shui Ling can get some sleep first."
"Sleep for a while? You guys aren't really going to dress me up like a little lady, are you? Will it take a long time?"
The two maids looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"It's good to take a nap. It won't be long. I'll wake you up. Aren't you getting enough sleep?"
"Yeah, if I can't sleep, it's good to take a nap."
So, Le Zheng Shuiling closed her eyes.
As Le Zheng Shui Ling gently closed her eyes, the atmosphere in the room became gentle and solemn. The maids were skilled and meticulous, as if they were performing a silent ceremony. Every strand of hair was carefully woven into the intricate bun, and the hair accessories inlaid with pearls and gems flickered slightly under the light, adding a bit of nobility and extraordinaryness to her face.
In the history of Lezheng, Lezheng Shuiling was not the only female head of the household. Compared with men, there were naturally very few female heads of household. Moreover, in order to appear more solemn and serious, female heads of household often dress more like men. Therefore, this time Lezheng Qin planned to break this stereotype and start to change Lezheng.
When he proposed this idea, Le Zhengfang was also very surprised, but soon laughed.
Time is like fine sand, quietly slipping through the fingertips. The elegant fragrance in the air brushes across the heart like a veil, making Le Zheng Shuiling's state of mind gradually return to peace.
In this tranquility, her consciousness slowly sank into sleep. In her dream, she seemed to travel through an endless sea of flowers, surrounded by brilliant colors. Every flower was in full bloom, emitting a refreshing fragrance, which formed a sharp contrast with the solemn occasion she would face after waking up, but under some mysterious power, they coexisted in wonderful harmony.
Just as she was immersed in this dreamlike tranquility, a clear, pleasant yet somewhat eerie ringtone suddenly rang out, like the sound of the first drop of water falling in the morning dew, instantly breaking the tranquility around her.
A trace of doubt and vigilance flashed across Le Zheng Shuiling's eyes. She determined the direction, turned around abruptly, and looked through the hazy night. She saw a sedan chair parked quietly not far away. Its strange appearance made people feel chilly.
The sedan chair was supported by four slender poles that looked like they were made of dead wood. These poles glowed with a faint blue light in the dim light, as if they could absorb all life around them.
The sedan was covered with thick black satin embroidered with intricate and strange patterns. These patterns looked like twisted vines, and they looked even more eerie under the dim light of the lanterns.
A string of small bells is hung on each corner of the sedan. As the sedan moves, these bells will make clear yet heart-pounding sounds, like whispers from the depths of the underworld, inspiring both imagination and fear.
The bell sounds that Le Zheng Shuiling heard were made by them.
There was no one carrying the sedan chair, and there seemed to be no one in it. Just as Le Zheng Shuiling was about to go forward to investigate, a cold hand gently patted her shoulder. She turned around suddenly, and saw a mask with long horns and fangs suddenly appeared in her sight. The eyes under the mask revealed a bit of teasing and amusement, which scared Le Zheng Shuiling and made her heart beat faster instantly.
"Hahahaha, you are a human after all. You really don't like this kind of stuff."
There was a hint of unruliness and ridicule in the other person's tone.
Le Zheng Shui Ling calmed down and then calmly said the other party's name, "Pluto Tu Mi!"
Tu Mi slowly took off the mask and said with a smile: "You recognized me." Seeing the disgust on Le Zheng Shui Ling's face, Tu Mi put away her smile, and a hint of subtle complex emotions flashed in her eyes, "Although you and I are not sisters now, you are coming back to me after all. At that time, I will be your king. Why don't you try to curry favor with me? Maybe I can make better arrangements for your next life."
Upon hearing this, Le Zheng Shui Ling was moved, but on the surface she remained calm, "If I go back, can you still arrange my next life?"
Tu Mi was stunned at first, then laughed again, "You never know."
Le Zheng Shui Ling was disdainful of these and asked directly: "Lord Pluto, you took the trouble to enter my dream, it's not just for me to flatter you, right?"
Tu Mi chuckled, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, "Alas, your personality is so direct that it really gives me a headache, can't you be more tactful?"
"No, I'm in a hurry."
"Well, I was being overly sentimental. I just wanted to remind you that recently, there has been an anomaly in the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld. The souls that should have entered the River of Oblivion have not yet arrived, while the number of souls that should not have appeared has increased. This is quite strange."
When Le Zheng Shui Ling heard this, the matter of the corpse breeding ground and Deadpool that Mu Xin mentioned immediately came to her mind, and her brows furrowed.
"Speaking of which, this underworld is always hot-tempered. Why is it that he is so forgiving of his sins? This is unlike you."
Tu Mi smiled and said, "The underworld has its own rules, but there are always things in the world that transcend the rules. The power he relies on has allowed him to stay outside the underworld. Our underworld will not easily intervene, especially when something happens outside the underworld."
"really?"
Tu Mi returned her gaze, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "You will know when you send him back to the underworld."
Le Zheng Shuiling looked at her and couldn't help swallowing.
