Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 5

I hugged him tightly, not letting go. On the other side of the wall, someone said: “There’s someone outside helping him.”

“Let’s cut his legs so he’ll never be able to escape again.”

There were still two people on the other side of the wall! They actually wanted to slice off Lu Hai Kong’s legs. My heart quivered. I suddenly got an idea.

“Father! Quickly bring the guards of the prime minister's mansion. The killer inside wants to cut Lu Hai Kong’s legs.”

“It’s the prime minister’s daughter.”

“That ruckus causing devil? The two killers were quiet for some time before one of them said, “Withdraw!”

Victory came too sudden. I didn’t think that my name would be more useful than my father’s name. After suppressing a chuckle, my face darkened again… The killers were so afraid of me. What image do I have in the commoner’s hearts?

There was no more time to think. I ruthlessly tugged at Lu Hai Kong. I grabbed his hand and dragged him in the direction of the prime minister's mansion.

“For now, you can go hide at my place.”

Lu Hai Kong stopped walking. In the smoky air, he quietly said, “Yun Xiang, I can’t go to the prime minister's mansion.”

“Why? Are you afraid that my father won’t protect you?”

Lu Hai Kong looked at the ground and didn’t answer me. At the moment, he was clearly a dirty kid, but strangely, I felt that his mind was more complicated than mine, which also had the memories of a hundred years of living as a cloud spirit.

He was silent for a long time before saying, “Yun Xiang, I’m going to go outside of the capital…only outside…need to go outside.”

He spoke with an extremely strong voice. He must be very determined. I intuitively felt that he was hiding many things. I also felt that from this moment forward, Lu Hai Kong’s life would change. Moreover, I also felt that my time to choose had come. Go back to the prime minister's manion or go with Lu Hai Kong and outside of the capital? I looked up at the sky. Suddenly, I had a strange feeling.

Emperor Li, so you’ve been waiting here for me! If I had drank the soup of oblivion, I would’ve been a normal young miss of the prime minister in this life. If Lu Hai Kong wasn’t delayed by me for five years in the Nether World, he would now be the same age as me. Two people who were engaged, falling in love with each other. Miss of the prime minister's mansion doesn’t have the heart to leave the General’s young master full of hatred and will go with him to the north. She would willingly abandoned her comfortable life to follow the general’s young master. So the first act of the play 'little wife chasing husband’ will be staged like this, at this bad time.

Lu Hai Kong must’ve thought too much after seeing my sorrowful look. He turned and began walking in the opposite direction.

“Yun Xiang, till we meet again.”

Hearing a ten year-old say such a deep sentence after a traumatic event, my heart skipped a beat. I scratched my head irritably and muttered softly, “Alright, alright. I admit defeat. I’ll not change fate again. Besides, I need to avoid having to receive punishment again after I go back.”

But it didn’t seem filial if I just left. So I picked up a burned wood and casually wrote on the wall: Father, your daughter eloped with a gentleman. Don’t lose spirit and take care of your body.

After I finished writing, I didn’t care whether or not father Song found this secluded doghole with the words above. I threw away the wood and ran to catch up with Lu Hai Kong. I ran till I was in front of him. I bent over a little and said, “You walk too slowly. After a while, the killer will start chasing us. Come on, I’ll piggyback you.”
