Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 501 - 466 Past Life Grudge_1

Lu Chuan and Han Qingci were both stunned by the scene.

"Who is Lu Jingxing?" asked Lu Chuan, somewhat puzzled.

Yu Sisi darted forward like an arrow to Lu Chuan, hugged him tightly, tears plopping down as she spoke excitedly, "Lu Jingxing is you. I thought I would never see you again, I miss you so much, please don’t leave me again, okay?"

At this moment, everyone in the coffee shop was dumbfounded as they watched this unfold. At first, when they heard Han Qingci say that Yu Sisi had come to kill Lu Chuan, they thought they had encountered a crime scene and were scared into hiding.

But in the next second, Yu Sisi was hugging Lu Chuan, which was completely unexpected, leaving many people bewildered.

"Are they here to joke around? Didn’t they just talk about killing someone? How did they end up hugging so soon?"

"Could they be shooting one of those melodramatic skits? Today’s internet celebrities really are beyond words—couldn’t they give a heads-up? What if someone got scared?"

"Damn, you gave me a scare. Turns out they’re just filming some melodramatic skit. But those two girls are really pretty, way prettier than your average internet celebs. I follow a lot of beautiful female influencers, but how come I’ve never seen these two before?"

...

Lu Chuan hadn’t expected things to turn out like this. He was completely bewildered, thinking, weren’t you specifically here to kill me? How come upon seeing me, you started hugging and embracing me?

He pondered for a moment, then pushed Yu Sisi away and said, "You’ve got the wrong person. My name is Lu Chuan, not Lu Jingxing. I am the one you want to kill. Strictly speaking, we should be at odds with each other. This is making me somewhat confused."

Yu Sisi looked at Lu Chuan foolishly and said, "I love you to the bone; even if you turned to ash, I wouldn’t mistake you. You are my Jingxing, you were in the past, and you still are now!"

At this point, Han Qingci came over, her eyes wide as she looked at the two, saying, "Vengeful ghost sister, Brother Lu Chuan, could it be that you are the reincarnation of the man you loved? Lu Jingxing... was that Brother Lu Chuan’s name in his previous life?"

Yu Sisi nodded excitedly, "That’s right, he is Lu Jingxing’s reincarnation!"

Lu Chuan found it hard to believe, "No... can it be this much of a coincidence?"

Yu Sisi hugged Lu Chuan again, her face reveling in delight as she pressed her cheek to his body, saying, "I never thought I could meet you again in such a way. It seems this is the fate given to us by the heavens."

Han Qingci suddenly said weakly, "But Brother Lu Chuan, isn’t he the one that Ling’er, the girl you wanted to kill, loved? Vengeful ghost sister, it’s so tragic, waiting for two lifetimes and still not winning over Ling’er..."

Yu Sisi: "..."

Lu Chuan: "..."

Realizing she had said something wrong, Han Qingci awkwardly smiled and quickly said, "How about... we sit down and talk?"

The three of them sat down together.

Lu Chuan looked at Yu Sisi and asked, "So, what exactly happened between us in our last life—that is, between you, Lu Jingxing, and Ling’er—that you would rather turn into a thousand-year vengeful ghost just to kill the man Ling’er loves in this life?"

Yu Sisi first glared at Han Qingci, then told the story of her and Lu Jingxing.

It turned out that in their previous life, Yu Sisi was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. Once when she accompanied her father on a business trip, they found a man with serious injuries. Out of kindness, they saved him, and this man turned out to be Lu Jingxing.

Yu Sisi had her father summon several highly skilled doctors to treat Lu Jingxing’s injuries. Only after he woke up and she inquired about his origins, why he had fallen into such a state, did they discover that he had amnesia.

Since he had no memory of his past and no money, Lu Jingxing asked Yu Sisi’s father to take him in. Yu Sisi found Lu Jingxing quite attractive and persuaded her father to let him stay, assigning him to do some manual labor with the caravan to earn his keep.

Yu Sisi was very interested in Lu Jingxing and would run over to play with him whenever she had the chance. Through their time together, she found that although he had lost his memory, he was honest and resolute, polite and gentlemanly toward girls, and very considerate. Despite his burly appearance, he didn’t have a rough temperament; instead, he was refined and easy to like.

As time went on, Yu Sisi fell for Lu Jingxing and began her pursuit.

Lu Jingxing, after losing his memory, had become very simple and honest, but he wasn’t a block of wood. He naturally felt Yu Sisi’s affection for him, was grateful for her saving his life, and was drawn to Yu Sisi’s lively, open personality and her pretty, gentle nature. Eventually, he too fell under her sway.

Yu Sisi was of marriageable age at that time, and her father also had a high opinion of her. Thus, he organized a wedding for them.

After their marriage, their life was happy and loving. Despite the family’s business facing many setbacks and the family itself enduring many trials, none of this changed their feelings for each other.

The two of them went through many life-and-death experiences together, and each had become an essential part of the other’s life.

However, five years into their marriage, a group of people found them. The leader was a noble-looking beauty named Zhong Shuci, which was Zhong Ling’er’s previous life.

Zhong Shuci revealed her identity, claiming she was the daughter of the prime minister, and that Lu Jingchuan, was the Zhenguo Great General. They had already been married, and Lu Jingchuan had been severely injured and gone missing during an assassination attempt. It took Zhong Shuci five whole years to locate him, after which she insisted on taking Lu Jingchuan away by force.

Yu Sisi naturally was unwilling, desperately trying to keep him, and since Lu Jingchuan also had no memories of the past, he naturally refused to leave with her.

Left with no choice, Zhong Shuci sought out a master with vast Divine Skills to restore Lu Jingchuan’s memory. Only then did Lu Jingchuan realize that he was indeed the Zhenguo Great General and that Zhong Shuci was his wife. The couple had been deeply in love in the past.

Thus, Lu Jingchuan fell into a struggle of indecision.

Zhong Shuci informed Lu Jingchuan that the country was currently in peril and needed him, the Zhenguo Great General, to take action, quell the rebellion, and save the nation from disaster.

After several days and nights of hesitation, Lu Jingchuan ultimately chose to leave with Zhong Shuci. As the Zhenguo Great General, he could not abandon the people to suffer.

For Yu Sisi, this was undoubtedly a betrayal.

She didn’t care about the national crisis; she only knew that the man she deeply loved had been taken away by Zhong Shuci. She cried her heart out, but in the end, she was unable to keep Lu Jingxing with her.

During that time, she was like a walking corpse. Had it not been for the resentment she couldn’t swallow, she likely would have ended her own life long ago.

Three months after Lu Jingxing was taken away by Zhong Shuci, the national rebellion was thoroughly quashed, and everything returned to normal. However, Lu Jingxing died for his country in the final moment of victory. freёnovelkiss-com

Zhong Shuci, heartbroken, took poison and committed suicide to follow Lu Jingxing into death.

When Yu Sisi heard this news, she was beyond despairing. She believed that all of this was caused by Zhong Shuci. If it weren’t for her taking Lu Jingxing away, he wouldn’t have died. Thus, she loathed Zhong Shuci intensely, wishing she could tear her to pieces.

But Zhong Shuci was already dead, and even with immense resentment, Yu Sisi had nowhere to direct it.

When Lu Chuan and Han Qingci heard this story, they both looked at Yu Sisi with eyes full of sympathy, and even Han Qingci’s eyes became somewhat moist. Yu Sisi’s narration was completely from her subjective perspective, filled with grievance towards Zhong Shuci, so they were unclear about the true nature of Zhong Shuci and Lu Jingxing’s relationship; they only felt Yu Sisi’s utter heartbreak.

"So, you’d rather become a vengeful ghost than be reincarnated, just to wait for Zhong Shuci’s reincarnation and seek revenge on her?" Lu Chuan asked Yu Sisi.

Yu Sisi was taken aback by the question. She glanced at Lu Chuan, hesitated, and finally sighed, saying, "Yes, I can’t let go of this resentment. In order to seek revenge, I’ve tried every means to find a master proficient in witchcraft who allowed me to retain my memory and live until the time of Zhong Shuci’s reincarnation."

"That master told me a mortal body could only live for at most a hundred years. If I wanted to wait for Zhong Shuci’s reincarnation, I could only become a ghost. But that wasn’t enough, as a normal ghost would eventually be reincarnated. I had to become a vengeful ghost to exist forever in this world."

"The master had a way to turn my ghost into a vengeful ghost, but it required a great sacrifice. I agreed, and after he killed me, he sealed my body in the Devil’s Cave. The malevolent power within the Devil’s Cave nurtured my ghost, making me the most unique vengeful ghost in the world. I survived for a thousand years, waiting until you... the reincarnated Zhong Shuci appeared, and then using the method taught by the master, I finally found the place where the reincarnated Zhong Shuci was and came looking for her."

Lu Chuan looked at Yu Sisi with a complex expression, realizing that, for the sake of revenge, she had willingly become a thousand-year vengeful ghost, enduring endless loneliness. It showed just how much hurt Zhong Shuci had inflicted upon her.

The unusual power within Yu Sisi that Han Qingci mentioned likely came from the Devil’s Cave where her body was sealed.

He felt deep sympathy for Yu Sisi’s plight.

But Zhong Ling’er was not Zhong Shuci; after reincarnation, all memories were lost, and the current Zhong Ling’er was a completely independent person with no connection to Zhong Shuci whatsoever.

So, he couldn’t let Yu Sisi harm Zhong Ling’er.

However, they were in a cafe, and he worried that Yu Sisi, overcome with emotion, might lose control and hurt the people here, so he said, "Your story is touching, but it’s not convenient to discuss such matters here. Let’s go back to the Han family. I could use the walk to process everything you’ve told us."

With reddened eyes, Han Qingci said, "I need to process it all too. Although from a certain point of view, the ghost sister is my rival, I truly feel she’s pitiable."

The three left the cafe together.

Half an hour later.

At the Han Family Mansion.

In Han Qingci’s room, Han Qingci and Yu Sisi sat on chairs while Lu Chuan paced back and forth, occasionally turning his head to look at Yu Sisi, clearly still unable to accept that he was the reincarnation of Yu Sisi’s beloved.

Yu Sisi gazed at Lu Chuan with full eyes of affection, her gaze never leaving his.

Han Qingci muttered to herself, "The ghost sister was so fierce at first, but when she saw Brother Lu Chuan, she turned as gentle as if she turned into a different ghost. What a changeable ghost she is!"

After some time, Lu Chuan stopped pacing, looked at Yu Sisi, and said, "Miss Sisi, even if I am the reincarnation of Lu Jingxing, the story between us belongs to the past life. You shouldn’t bring the hatred from the past into the present, especially since it wouldn’t be fair to Ling’er. So I hope you can leave her body. As for the injuries you sustained in the past life, I’ll find a way to make it up to you, how does that sound?"

Upon hearing these words, an endless, terrifying force instantly emanated from Yu Sisi, making the entire room overwhelmingly sinister, as if plunging into the eighteenth level of hell, chilling to the core.

Her eyes, filled with infinite grievances, fixated on Lu Chuan. With a crying voice she exclaimed, "Lu Jingxing, in the past life, you abandoned me and chose Zhong Shuci. In this life, you still want to protect her so. Could it be that our feelings mean so little to you? This isn’t fair!"
