Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks to a Single Moment of Impulse

Chapter 30

Ding dong, ding dong.

The sound of the blue stones on the river ground kept ringing in my ears.

I opened my eyes and saw a sharp knife like stone pointing at me. It seemed like it wanted to fall down and crush me into powder. I was scared by this scene that my heart immediately turned cold. I immediately sobered up. I sat down on the ground. The memories from before I Iost consciousness slowly came back; falling into the river, getting rid of the armor, sharing breath. I didn’t have time to feel shy about Chu Kong sharing breath with me. When I thought about him getting rid of my golden armor, my heart is filled with hate. If I can survive this time, how will I continue to live without money?! Chu Kong isn’t aware of the distress of being poor. Before returning to heaven, I really don’t want to taste the pain anymore of wanting to eat meat but couldn’t eat it.

Even if it’s hateful, it can’t be helped. The fact is it’s been done and I can only accept it. I rubbed my head and looked at the environment around me. This seemed like a deep secluded cave. Everywhere are stalactites. I felt it was really strange. I remembered clearly, I was dragged down by a strange chain into the river. Why am I now in a place like this? And......where is Chu Kong?

I held onto one of the stalactites and wanted to stand up. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, like a needle piercing through there. I strongly endured it for a while, but the pain intensified. There seemed to be a razor in my womb. I curled from pain. I clenched my teeth, but I couldn’t close my mouth.

This time......did someone tried to poison me again......

“Xiao Xiang Zi.”

Someone tapped me on my face.

“Hey, hold it for moment.”

Someone grabbed my shoulder and shook it.

While I was in pain, I opened my eyes and looked at him. In the dim light of the cave, I can barely see his face. I kept staring. I haven’t had the time to be surprised, when I felt another cramp, making me arch my body. I tried to break away from that person, but my arms didn’t have any strength. I gasped: “Ghost......ghost.......”

I saw that the person actually has “Chu Qinghui’s” face.

“Chu Qinghui” frowned and said very unhappily: “Your uncle is a ghost. Xiaoye is Chu Kong.”

I gasped: “How come.......how come you look.......look the same as me now?”

After those words, I was shocked. How come that out of my mouth will come such a delicate voice? Recently, I’ve been getting used to a man’s voice. Suddenly, a woman’s voice came out; I’m really not used to it.

Chu Kong was very dissatisfied and said: “Who looks like you? You go look at yourself.”

I a blink of eye, he grabbed my hand and set it in front of my eyes. I took a closer look. It’s a delicate hand, soft like without bones. This......this is obviously a woman’s hand. I slowly moved the fingers and found out that it’s really my hand. I was shocked. I felt the pain again and suddenly realized: “We......we changed bodies?”

Chu Kong nodded: “Although I don’t know what happened, but it seems that we really changed our bodies.”

I flew into a rage: “Child’s play! Nonsense! Absurd!”

After saying that, I clutched my stomach for a while, before I have enough strength again to continue: “Placing a soul into a body is a rule of reincarnation. It is prescribed by the heavens and the netherworld. Only in the well of reincarnation can a soul enter a body. Even if it’s a god, he can’t exchange a soul. Who dared to exchange us?! Who dared to break the rule?! He needs to be executed!”

Chu Kong narrowed his eyes and said: “You’re just not satisfied to be in this princess’ body.”

I hold my belly and said full of hate: “Who will want to suffer this pain?”

My belly is filled with pain. It really made me worry that this princess’ body won’t survive for twenty years, even if no one harms her! Previously, the pain was on Chu Kong’s body. Although I sympathized with him, but I haven’t experienced it personally.

So......the pain of periods is more painful than breaking the egg......

My belly suddenly felt warm. Chu Kong is rubbing my belly. My body stiffened a little. I heard Chu Kong say: “I know you’re angry now because of the pain, but this wasn’t xiaoye’s intension. Why did we change? How did we come here? I’m also confused now. But it is strange that we can change our souls. If I find the reason......”

Chu Kong lowered his voice: “If you find it painful, we can then change back.”

I didn’t know what sort of feelings passed through my heart. I tilted my head and looked quietly at Chu Kong’s face in the dim light of the cave.

He twisted his head and didn’t know where to look at. My eyes were too hot for him. It burned his face. His eyes rolled, glanced at me once, looked away again and said: “Heng.......Heng! Don’t be mistaken! Xiaoye just felt that since I reincarnated like that then I should just go with the heaven’s will. Should.......”

He couldn’t find any more words to say. I continued to look at him with shining eyes. Chu Kong endured it for a while. Then he stood with inexplicable anger.

“In short, we should just change back! Don’t stare at me!”

He turned and stared ferociously at me.

My vision turned away from him and I no longer stared at him. My eyes fell on the big palm on my belly. The warmth of the hand suddenly felt like fire on my belly. Blood flowed through that hand and burned me.

I covered Chu Kong’s hand and said: “You have to remember! We have a deal! You say that!”

Chu Kong stiffened. His eyes fell on my face. He looked for a long while and then gritted his teeth: “Yes, ah. I said that......My mouth is cheap!”

There’s pain again on my abdomen. I tolerated it for a while and then said: “Let’s first look at our surroundings. Staying here is also not the answer.”

I grabbed Chu Kong’s hand and stood up.

“It’s not so painful anymore. Let’s go look around this place.”

Chu Kong glanced at me once and walked in front of me.

“Heng, you said this. Don’t cry later to xiaoye and say you’re tired.”

While I walked, I looked around. I discovered that this cave is really strange. Obviously this cave is surrounded by stones. There’s no place where light can come in, but here you can see things with the naked eye. The stalactites are also not so much on the stone. They seemed more like hidden weapons, waiting for an intruder to step on the trap. After stepping on the trap, the stalactites will fall down. The deeper we go into the cave, the more we feel that the intention to kill is obvious.

“Hey,” I couldn’t help myself from calling Chu Kong, who walked in front of me. “It’s really strange here.”

“Shh, be quiet.”

Chu Kong suddenly stopped. I hurriedly run to him and stayed tightly behind him. With some panic, I looked around

“What? What’s happening?”

Chapter 30 Part 2

My voice was still being echoed in the cave, when suddenly we heard an ear-piercing “xiu” sound. A stone arrow came down from above. It ground my ear and went into the ground. I was stunned and looked up at the roof. I pulled at Chu Kong’s clothes.

“This time......this time is really bad, ah.”

As if to prove that my guess was right. One arrow after another fell from the roof. Chu Kong grabbed my waist. A pain burst in my belly again. I couldn’t hold it for a moment and whined.

Chu Kong said: “Bear it for a moment.”

After this general’s body became Chu Kong’s, it became more useful. He hugged me, this burden and dodged. It seemed effortless when he dodged here and there. The air is filled with arrows and all have been dodged by him.

He stood firmly and looked satisfied at his arm. With some proud, he said: “This body has been trained well. Xiao Xiang Zi, how come you are useless with this body?”

I hold Chu Kong’s waist and thought for half a day, but I couldn’t find any words to refute him.

The princess had a miscarriage before. Later, Chu Kong didn’t know how to nourish a woman’s body and did all sorts of work with this body. Just now, she was in cold water. Now it’s making me feel more painful than death. In contrast to Chu Kong’s triumphant look, I looked more like someone who was just half a step outside a coffin. Chu Kong experienced my pain, so he no longer teased me.

The cave was silent for a long time. Chu Kong suddenly sighed: “Really......”

I suddenly felt my body stiffen. Chu Kong carried me. I was shocked and clung to his neck. Chu Kong frowned and glanced at me dissatisfied.

“Really bothering.”

I stared at him. For whom am I suffering this pain now?!

But I thought that it’s a good thing that we swapped our bodies, otherwise, the stone arrows would have taken our lives. I weighed the pros and cons, pouted and didn’t bicker with him.

Chu Kong paced forward. The speed is faster than when we walked together. Not long after, the light in front of us turned brighter. After turning around a corner, I asked: “Is this the way out?”

I narrowed my eyes to adapt to the light. I looked everywhere and wondered: “Why do I feel that this place is familiar?”

This is a room made of stones. There are a simple table and chairs. In the right corner, there’s a stone bed. I tried really hard to find the memories relating to this stone room. Just then Chu Kong laughed coldly.

“Of course it’s familiar. Xiao Xiang Zi, did you forget? In the second lifetime, the husband you wanted to marry, didn’t he live in such a humble room?”

“Ah!”

In my mind jumped out a purple shadow.

“Zihui!”

The moment I called out that name, Chu Kong’s face turned shades darker. I thought, Chu Kong must still be angry because the stone demon made him fall into a trap.

I patted Chu Kong’s shoulder to comfort him and also to let him put me down.

“If Zihui live here, then we can let him bring us out. After all, he still needs to repay you a favor.”

“Heng, who wants his help?”

Chu Kong’s voice just fell, when the floor suddenly started to shake. Chu Kong’s expression turned serious and shouted: “Who is playing tricks in there? Come out!”

The stone room was quiet for a while. A breeze came from the sky and turned around my ear. I hear a female voice say slowly: “Do you know Zihui?”

I opened my mouth, but have yet to answer when Chu Kong said: “Don’t know.”

It seemed like with this denial, he wanted to erase all the memories of the past. I pouted. This childlike temper of his, how did he develop it?

“Do you know Zihui,” The female voice asked again.

Her thoughts seemed to be confusing, waiting for confirmation from other people.

I said: “We know, we know.”

A cold breeze blew into the stone room. A light came out from the ground. I subconsciously hid behind Chu Kong. I stuck my head out and looked. I saw a woman in light color clothes, came out from the ground. She stood unsteadily and looked at me and Chu Kong with narrowed eyes.

“You know Zihui?”

Well, I think if I’m not wrong, this woman is a soul. Besides, it’s a broken soul. A soul that has been floating on the world for a long time. Usually, I won’t be afraid that this female soul can hurt me, but now I have this useless body. It’s better to hide behind Chu Kong. I pulling at his clothes tightly and said: “We do know him, but we’re not familiar with him.”

Chu Kong heard this and looked back at me. Then he turned his head again and asked the woman: “Who are you?”

“I?”

The woman floated around for a while.

“I forgot. I only remember that I’m Zihui’s bride. I’m waiting for him here.”

I thought for a while. I remembered in the second lifetime stone demon, Zihui pretended to be affectionate in order to deceive a silly and naïve girl. I didn’t expect him to be a married man!

Chu Kong turned and looked at me again. This time his eyes obviously showed that he was gloating. I pinched his waist angrily. Chu Kong caught my hand and without blinking an eye, he turned and asked the woman: “Are you the one that dragged us here?”

“Yes......”

“Why?”

“You..... I felt that you two are very dangerous.”

She rubbed her head.

“Very dangerous.......I wanted to kill you. But I wasn’t careful and dragged you here.”

Chu Kong asked: “Why do you not kill us now?”

The woman looked at us confused.

Then she shook her head: “Suddenly, I forgot. Now I think you’re not dangerous.”

I twitched my mouth. Zihui must have abandoned her because she was really stupid.

She inexplicably floated around the stone table a few times. She seemed to be muttering something to herself. Then she looked up at me: “You said you know Zihui, right?”

I hid behind Chu Kong. Only my eyes stared at her and nodded. The woman suddenly smiled like spring flowers: “Well, can you help me bring Zihui here? I want to see him.”

Seeing her smiling so happily, I was a little soft hearted to speak. She has now lost the flesh and her soul is broken. She already delayed the time of reincarnation. She is now unable to enter the netherworld. She is destined to not have an afterlife. What can she do after she sees Zihui? The two are separated by life and death. Their fate is already scattered.

I didn’t answer, but Chu Kong said: “What will we get if we bring Zihui to you? To be honest with you, the idiot behind me cares about the pros and the cons, but xiaoye’s heart is made from steel. You can say that husband of yours, Zihui, already owe me a lot of debt. Xiaoye was just contemplating how I can let him pay back. Now I have to help, ah, why?”

I poked at Chu Kong, and whispered: “Can you stop pouring salt on the wound? Is it fun playing a villain? Seeing the woman like that, can you still blackmail her?!”

Chu Kong narrowed his eyes and looked at me: “Why can’t I?”

The woman heard Chu Kong’s words and was in a trance for a moment. She looked up and said: “I......I don’t know what Zihui own you, but there’s nothing here that I can repay you with......should I just pay you back with my body?”

I didn’t wait for Chu Kong to answer. I jumped from behind Chu Kong and stood in front of him.

“No!”

My voice was so loud that even I was scared.
