Chapter 2030
Annihilation of the Transmigrators 8
After all, Liu Caiming was an outsider whose soul had taken over the body of the Liu family girl.
They feared that if they killed Liu Caiming, her soul would possess someone else's body.
Now, they are in the shadows, while Liu Caiming is in the light.
However, if they were to kill Liu Caiming, and then possess someone else, then Liu Caiming would be in the shadows while they would be in the open.
But their current abilities are simply insufficient to destroy a soul.
Alas, now they can only act with restraint, trying to prevent Liu Caiming from discovering their actions in the shadows.
After all, this woman is very vengeful.
Before they have absolute strength, the second branch of the family must keep a low profile.
But what should we do now that Liu Caiming has her eye on Liu Xu?
Liu Tong: "Brother, you should leave the capital."
Father Liu nodded: "That's a good idea, Ah Xu. I'll help you with that. You can leave the capital for a few years and come back once that monster is defeated."
Liu Xu: "That demon is powerful. I can stay in the capital to help my sister deal with it."
Liu Caiyun said, "Brother, I am strong enough to deal with that demon. Now that she has her eye on you, it would be best to get out of her sight first."
Liu's mother also tried to persuade Liu Xu to leave, as she valued her son's safety more than anything else, especially Liu Caiming.
Liu Tong: "Big brother, if you're worried, just draw a few more protective talismans for us."
The fact that Liu Xu and Liu Caiyun were cultivating their skills could not be kept from Liu's parents, who cared deeply for their child.
Liu Xu listened to Liu Dong's words and finally agreed to leave the capital to hide.
The Liu family then sprang into action.
Liu's father began to help Liu Xu, securing him a position as the Vice Prefect of Yangzhou.
Liu's mother then went to the Chu family and requested that the two children be married as soon as possible.
After learning that Liu Xu was to be sent to a post in another region, the Chu family worried that the marriage would be disrupted, and were even more concerned that Liu Xu would be seduced by other women in the other place. Therefore, they agreed to Liu's mother's request and moved up the wedding date.
While practicing her cooking skills, Liu Caiyun helped her mother prepare for Liu Xu's wedding.
Liu Tong was not spared any rest either.
Knowing that he was well-informed, Liu's mother instructed him to keep an eye on Liu Caiming's news and inform them of it.
Liu Tong's divine sense had been keeping an eye on Liu Caiming. After Qin Shuang, Liu Caiming had hooked up with someone else.
That man was a scholar who had traveled to the capital for the imperial examinations. He was quite handsome, only slightly less so than Liu Xu.
If one can pass the imperial examination, that person will surely be the third-ranked scholar in that year's examination.
That person got to where he is today because of his good looks.
The man was a poor scholar who, because of his good looks, caught the eye of the teacher's daughter, who then took him in as a disciple for free and taught him carefully. He eventually passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and married the teacher's daughter.
Later, the poor scholar passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and was then noticed by the daughter of the county magistrate.
As a result, the scholar's daughter died, and the poor scholar married a girl from the county town.
The money he brought to the capital this time was all his wife's dowry, and it was quite a lot, enough for a poor scholar to live a life of luxury in the capital.
Liu Caiming was attracted to the scholar's appearance. Since she had no chance to seduce Liu Xu, she used the poor scholar as a substitute.
The poor scholar was also a womanizer, and he took a fancy to Liu Caiming's appearance.
Like Qin Shuang, he assumed Liu Caiming was a girl from some brothel.
He also had another idea: he wanted the courtesans to follow him with the money they had saved up.
Such a lowly woman can be sold off once he gets tired of her.
Or they might give the person to a colleague in officialdom in exchange for the benefits he desires.
The two, each with their own agendas, quickly became acquainted. Liu Dong naturally knew about their affair, but he had no intention of alerting the poor scholar or saving him.
This person is not worth saving at all.
Leaving aside his first wife, if this man were to pass the imperial examination, his second wife would also lose her life.
It's better for such a person to die sooner rather than later, so he won't harm other women.
To this end, Liu Dong also facilitated Liu Caiming's meeting with the poor scholar.
The poor scholar stayed at an inn, a place bustling with people, so the two couldn't possibly meet secretly there.
Liu Tong "casually" mentioned Qin Shuang's garden.
After Qin Shuang died, the Qin family wanted to sell the garden, but everyone else who knew about Qin Shuang thought the garden was unlucky and no one wanted to buy it.
The garden was abandoned, and even passersby were unwilling to walk past it.
Isn't this the perfect place for an affair?
Liu Caiming led the poor scholar to the garden.
Qin Shuang had only recently passed away, and the garden was still in good condition, with the furniture and bedding in the rooms intact, except for the dust.
But this was no problem for Liu Caiming, who had already reached the third level of Qi Refining.
She has already been able to cast a few simple spells.
The dust-removal technique was used, and the room became clean instantly.
And so, Liu Caiming and the poor scholar finally got together, and Liu Caiming regained her vitality.
Because she was satisfied with the poor scholar's appearance, Liu Caiming did not drain him dry like she did with Qin Shuang, thus preventing his body from deteriorating.
However, the loss of too much vital energy still affects the body.
Moreover, the poor scholar was unlucky; the temperature suddenly dropped during the days of the imperial examination, and he fell ill from the cold.
Coupled with his depleted body, the illness did not improve, and he eventually lost his life.
Liu Caiming lamented: How could he die so soon? She hadn't even gotten tired of him yet! Alas, it's a pity there aren't many people more handsome than him. In all this time, she had only met one other person, Liu Xu. Unfortunately, Liu Xu was difficult to approach, and besides, he was about to leave the capital.
No, she had to get him before he left.
After obtaining the poor scholar's essence, Liu Caiming advanced two levels and is now at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Her charm techniques have become even more powerful.
Liu Caiming began looking for opportunities to help Liu Xu.
Liu Xu told Liu Caiming about Liu Xu's plan, and Liu Xu was so frightened that he didn't even go home. He also missed meals when the two families ate together.
Liu Caiming was so angry that she smashed a pile of porcelain shards on the floor.
Chunxi suggested to Liu Caiming: "Second Miss, the Princess is holding a flower-viewing banquet and has invited Madam and Eldest Miss to attend. If you wish to go, you can ask Madam for permission."
She had realized that this wandering ghost was feeding on men's vital energy and couldn't live without them.
Liu Caiming scoffed, "What flower appreciation party? I'm not interested."
Chunxi: "Miss, the flower viewing party allows young masters and ladies to interact openly and legitimately..."
Liu Caiming understood; this was a matchmaking banquet.
The thought of meeting so many outstanding men stirred Liu Caiming's heart, and she immediately went to find Madam Liu.
Previously, Liu Caiming was an unknown figure, but now, besides cultivating, she either sneaks out of the manor to find men, and has never caused any trouble for Madam Liu.
Madam Liu was quite satisfied with Liu Caiming.
Hearing that she wanted to go to the flower viewing banquet, and considering that she was of marriageable age, he agreed and sent an embroiderer to make new clothes for Liu Caiming.
Liu Caiming: She's smart enough! I won't take her life anymore. (End of Chapter)
