'It's simple'¦ destroy the Imperial palace for me, burn them all to the ground, including Huang Shu. So I can rest.'
Xu Jiansheng was stunned by the request from Yunyu, not because he disagreed with it. In fact, he was a hundred percent agreed with Bai Yunyu's request. He just didn't expect it to come from Yunyu's mouth.
Because after he dug deeper into Bai Yunyu's background as Empress Xiuying, he finally knew that Bai Yunyu was really dedicated to helping that bastard Emperor rule justly and rose to be a Golden Emperor. But fortunately, he got banished more than two years ago. Because around that time, Xu Jiansheng's family got massacred by Emperor Xianlaing because they tried to protect their homeland from the soldier conquer.
So Bai Yunyu didn't partake in that massacre, or Jiansheng might not be able to see Yunyu in a good light.
But it still surprised him that Bai Yunyu wanted to burn everything to the ground...
"Is this what you really want?" Xu Jiansheng asked. He had a bit of doubt before, "I thought you loved the Imperial Palace'¦"
[Oh shit, I forgot that Empress Xiuying is really dedicated on building the empire. Is this already an OOC? Why can't I hear an OOC bell then?]
[Pupa: I think it's because Empress Xiuying or Bai Yunyu of this world loves his country, but he got betrayed by Huang Shu, and nobody except Meilan ever helped him, so he also resented it.]
[Pupa: Love and hate are like a different side of the same coin anyway. Empress Xiuying loved his country, but now that everything turned against him, he also hated it. That's why the OOC bell didn't ring.]
Yunyu thought of a good scenario for a moment before delivering it to Jiansheng.
Ghost Yunyu sighed and smiled bitterly, 'Because everyone turned their back on me when I was at my lowest. Even after my death, nobody except Huang Shu mourned for me, and Huang Shu is insane. He tortured me to death but still embalmed and kept me in a glass case.'
'Do you know how much the pain I have to bear? Jiansheng, I can't enter reincarnation if I don't get cremated first. I want you to burn that palace to the ground with my body in it.'
Xu Jiansheng had something else in mind, and he asked subtly, "So you will stay in this world if you don't get cremated?"
'Yeah'¦ I can't go anywhere, so that's why I want to stay with you instead of for a while until you can fulfil my wish'¦'
Xu Jiansheng's gaze darkened. He had a mysterious smile on his face while he caressed the mist that was supposed to be his beloved Bai Yunyu.
"I will definitely fulfil your wish. I will burn the Imperial Palace to the ground, including Huang Shu. But for now, will you stay with me until I find the right time to attack. Don't worry, it won't be long," Xu Jiansheng said.
Bai Yunyu nodded obediently and kissed Jiansheng's lips again, 'I believe in you, Jiansheng. I will stay around you for a while.'
"I will make sure that Huang Shu pays for torturing you, I will make sure that he will be broken, both his body and heart, just like what he did to me before'¦" Xu Jiansheng said.
'Before?' Yunyu asked. He was confused with Xu Jiansheng's words.
Xu Jiansheng chuckled lightly and shook his head, "It was just a natural animosity I have against him. I naturally hate him even the first time I met him, and this hatred grew even more as I matured. Don't worry, my beloved Bai Yunyu, I will make sure that he will pay in the most painful way possible."
'¦
Yunyu was a bit worried about such hatred as if Jiansheng already planned something even more dubious than before.
[Pupa: Alert! Breakmeter decreases to -10%.]
['¦]
[Pupa:'¦]
[What?!]
[Pupa: Apparently, the Breakmeter increases for an unknown reason.]
[What is the requirement to fill the Breakmeter again?]
[Pupa: There are two, but both are hidden beneath hidden plots. So I'm not sure.]
[You really have no use when I actually need you!]
[Pupa: You have no qualification to say that when you have -10% Breakmeter there, Casper.]
Ghost Yunyu could feel that his body was slowly disappearing. Thus he said to Xu Jiansheng, 'You may not be able to see me again after this, but I will always stay beside you for a while until I can leave.'
"As long as you stay with me, then everything doesn't matter," Xu Jiansheng said ambiguously. "Just stick near me, okay?"
'I will'¦ I love you, Xu Jiansheng.'
Ghost Yunyu's body slowly dissipated and disappeared in front of Xu Jiansheng. Jiansheng felt loss in his heart, but it wasn't for long because he just chuckled and said, "I know you're still with me, Bai Yunyu. I love you too. That's why I will make sure that everything will be okay between us."
"I promise you that Imperial Palace will be a hell on earth on the day I attacked the Forbidden City."
[Pupa: Alert! Breakmeter decreases to -20%.]
[What the heck?! What is wrong? What is this? Pupa, be useful for once and tell me the reason!]
[Pupa: Go find a way to unlock the hidden plots, so we can see the cause.]
[Aish, I don't know what happened here. All I do is just to accelerate Huang Shu's downfall, so he can use his Rewind Stone, and we can return back in time!]
[Pupa: Maybe accelerating the process is not the best way.]
Pupa glanced at Xu Jiansheng, who had a malicious smile on his face after talking with Yunyu, which did not sit right with their expectation. He should be more dedicated to overthrowing Huang Shu, but it seemed that Jiansheng also had something else in mind.
[Pupa: Something is not right with Jiansheng,]
Yunyu checked on Xu Jiansheng and found that Xu Jiansheng was smiling maliciously. At the same time, he continued reading the letter on the table. Yunyu gulped, feeling ominous that something terrible would happen soon.
[Yeah, you're right. Can we like'¦ do the ghosty-ghosty once more? I have a bad feeling after seeing him like this.]
[Pupa: You already used it.]
[Eeehhh'¦ why can't I do it twice? Come on, Pupa, aren't I the main character or something? Where is my plot armor? I should be able to do ghosty-ghosty permanently!]
ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) [Pupa: If there is a plot armor in you, you've used it a long time ago with so many luckiness in our journey. Best to just suck it up and pray for the best.]
[But I'm a ghost, what if I got burned if I pray?]
[Pupa:'¦ that's correct. Fine, just do whatever to make you feel less stressed.]
[Ugh, fine'¦ I'll see some beauties to relax first since there's nothing we can do. Thanks for the advice, Pupa.]
Yunyu flew away from the pavilion and head straight to the public bath reserved for Xu Jiansheng's students to peep on some bare beauties.
Meanwhile, Xu Jiansheng could feel that Yunyu's presence gradually thinned around him, so he assumed that Yunyu had left him. He took a bead and threw it on the ground.

After a while, a man clothed in black suddenly appeared in front of Xu Jiansheng, "Yes, Young Master."
"This may sound a bit weird, but I want you to find a real Shaman. I need a him to chain a ghost for me."
