Chapter 874

"Sanniang, it's actually you. Why is it you? Why did you come back?"

Wang Anxu, sitting on the ground, looked up and found that the person speaking was Mei Sanniang, whom he had burned to death with his own hands. He was so scared that he used his hands and feet to crawl back several meters.

"Good! You actually still recognize me. That's truly great! I must kill this heartless, ungrateful man. I exhausted my resources to help you go to the capital for the examination, but you were having fun in the capital and forgot me. In the end, for the sake of glory and wealth, you burned me alive! If this hatred is not avenged, my resentment will not dissipate!"

Mei Sanniang said and prepared to kill Wang Anxu.

"So what if I was having fun? Who doesn't want glory and wealth? Your death was deserved; you forced me to do it!"

Wang Anxu was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, then shouted hysterically.

"Hmph, you're right. I deserved to die for believing your flowery words, and today, your death is also your own doing!"

After speaking, Mei Sanniang walked slowly toward Wang Anxu.

"No! Don't kill my husband! We can talk about anything. Do you want money? I can give you a lot of money."

The woman on the ground hurriedly ran over and hugged Mei Sanniang's thigh, begging her to spare Wang Anxu.

"You must be Chu Hui, the daughter of the Hanlin scholar, right? He killed me with his own hands just to marry you. Because he wanted to be promoted and get rich, he had to cling to you, the Hanlin daughter. I was burned alive by him because of this, and you actually want to use money to bribe me, a ghost?"

Mei Sanniang looked coldly at the woman on the ground, thinking she was ridiculous. Then she kicked Chu Hui away and flew toward Wang Anxu.

"No! I stole the person you love. If you want to kill someone, kill me! Kill me, Sanniang!"

Chu Hui lay on the ground and begged Mei Sanniang.

"You are fighting so desperately to save him now, but the day you have no more utility, he will kill you just the same!"

Mei Sanniang looked at the begging Chu Hui, as if seeing her former self, and couldn't help but warn her coldly.

"I am willing!"

But Chu Hui ignored Mei Sanniang's warning and instead said to her with determination.

So, a romantic fool is truly terrifying. With Mei Sanniang as a living example, Chu Hui still insisted on protecting Wang Anxu.

Lin Fan, on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chu Hui's words.

"Brother Lin Fan, what are you laughing at? This Chu Hui seems quite devoted!"

Zhao Linger asked with curiosity.

"Do you know what their fate would have been if we hadn't encountered this matter today?"

Lin Fan looked at the three of them—Mei Sanniang, Wang Anxu, and Chu Hui—and said.

"Bad guy, tell us quickly! Don't speak in riddles!"

Lin Yueru's curiosity was piqued, and she asked impatiently.

"The person holding the painting today is Chu Hui's cousin, Shi Great Ming. Later, he fell in love with Mei Sanniang, even knowing she was a ghost. But Mei Sanniang was deceived by Wang Anxu's flowery words again and wanted to continue their relationship. Wang Anxu used the talisman water sent by Chu Hui to suppress Mei Sanniang's magic power, then used two talisman papers to seal Mei Sanniang in the room, preparing to burn her to death again. Later, Shi Great Ming broke into the sea of fire and tore off the talisman papers, and Mei Sanniang escaped. When she was chasing Wang Anxu, Chu Hui begged Mei Sanniang to spare him in the same way, saying she was willing to die for Wang Anxu."

"It sounds like this Mei Sanniang is quite stupid. So you are mocking Mei Sanniang?"

Zhang Sanniang glared at Mei Sanniang with disappointment. What a useless thing! She had none of Zhang Sanniang's style and didn't deserve the name Sanniang.

"I'm not just mocking Mei Sanniang, but this Chu Hui as well. Although Mei Sanniang killed Wang Anxu regardless of Chu Hui's obstruction, the Daoist who gave Chu Hui the talisman water arrived later. Not only did he capture Mei Sanniang, but at Chu Hui's bitter begging, he saved Wang Anxu. Chu Hui later even became pregnant with Wang Anxu's child."

"Unexpectedly, Chu Hui's cousin, a princess who had married far away, returned after her husband died. Although Wang Anxu had poor character, he knew how to use flowery words, and his painting skills were superb, so he won the favor of Princess Mingxia. Thus, this pair of adulterers hooked up. But how could a princess be a concubine? So on the day Chu Hui was about to give birth, Wang Anxu bribed the midwife and ordered her to make sure Chu Hui died in childbirth. Thus, Chu Hui died in childbirth. The Chu Hui who had said she was willing to die for Wang Anxu became a ghost, and the first thing she did was return with Mei Sanniang to kill Wang Anxu. Do you think it's ridiculous or not?"

Lin Fan said and looked at Mei Sanniang and Chu Hui again. Seeing their devastated appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head. Romantic fools are too terrifying.

However, Wang Anxu's life was worth it even if he died. His first wife was the famous courtesan Mei Sanniang, who was famous throughout Hangzhou but sold art not her body. His second wife was the dignified, beautiful, and powerful Hanlin daughter Chu Hui. His third wife was the beautiful and soul-stealing Princess Mingxia.

Mei Sanniang was even deceived by him twice, and Chu Hui was willing to die for him. Wang Anxu could truly be called the best among scumbags.

"Impossible! Impossible! You are lying! How could you know the future!"

Chu Hui muttered to herself in a devastated state. She couldn't believe what Lin Fan said was true.

"Wang Anxu, it's very simple to make me not kill you. Now I'll give you two choices. Only one of you and Chu Hui can live. Either you kill Chu Hui, or I kill you. You choose!"

After Lin Fan finished speaking, he took out a fruit knife and threw it in front of Wang Anxu, letting him make a decision.

Mei Sanniang also walked slowly toward Wang Anxu, constantly putting pressure on him, wanting to see how he would choose.

"Why force me? Why are you forcing me? I don't want to choose either of these two options!"

Wang Anxu grabbed the fruit knife on the ground and waved it wildly, wanting to scare Lin Fan and the others away.

Lin Fan just flicked his finger, and the lush bamboo forest around Wang Anxu was blown away. This extinguished his hope. He understood that in front of these immortals like Lin Fan, he couldn't escape at all and could only make a choice as he said.

"Or you can choose to slit your own throat with the knife. Suicide is also a choice, right? I've given you three choices. Am I not merciful enough?"

Lin Fan looked at the struggling Wang Anxu with interest and gave him an even simpler choice.

"Husband, they are all devils and definitely won't let us go. Let's die together and be a ghost couple!"

Chu Hui said to Wang Anxu with a calm expression.

"Good, then let's die together. Hui-niang, I have failed you. It's all my fault for implicating you!"

Wang Anxu's face turned pale, then he stumbled toward Chu Hui.

"Husband, I don't blame you. Let's be... Ugh!"

Before Chu Hui could finish her words, the fruit knife in Wang Anxu's hand had pierced her heart. ===== CHAPTER 876 =====
