Chapter 277: Ghost Technique
Ye Dina simply slowed down her movements and stood quietly not far behind Xu Yingying, watching carefully, trying to figure out what Xu Yingying was doing.
Just at this moment, Xu Yingying turned around and looked directly at Ye Dina.
Suddenly turning around, she found someone standing behind her. Even Xu Yingying was startled, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she subconsciously wanted to attack him.
But soon she looked carefully and found that it was a woman. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who are you? Standing here?"
From the clothes she wore, one could tell that the woman in front of her was a person of noble status. Xu Yingying was still a little wary in her heart. Another country was not like her own territory, so she still needed to be extra careful with everything.
"Don't you know me? I am the princess of the current dynasty, Ye Dina. Who are you and why have I never seen you in the palace before?" Seeing that the other person was a stranger, Ye Dina couldn't help but ask curiously.
Xu Yingying was speechless. That was right. She had just been imprisoned by Ye Luwen not long ago. Naturally, no one in the palace knew her.
"Greetings, Your Highness. My name is Xu Yingying. You can just call me Yingying." Xu Yingying thought of an idea and smiled at Ye Dina and said softly.
Xu Yingying's face and soft voice are still very deceptive. At least in Ye Dina's opinion, Xu Yingying should be a good person.
"Yingying? Your name is really nice." A smile spread across Ye Dina's face, which made Xu Yingying dazed.
Indeed, as a father, Ye Luwen raised his daughter Ye Dina very well. Even in this deep palace, she was so innocent and naive, and was completely defenseless against a stranger like Xu Yingying.
"Your Highness, thank you for your compliment." Xu Yingying said modestly and friendly to Ye Dina.
"By the way, I saw you squatting there, what were you doing?" Ye Dina asked, remembering what happened just now.
Xu Yingying explained that she was looking for any souls here. She thought that such words would scare a noble princess like Ye Dina, but unexpectedly, Ye Dina's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You mean, you can talk to ghosts?" Ye Dina's surprised voice sounded in Xu Yingying's ears.
Xu Yingying nodded without understanding why.
"You are proficient in ghost arts? That's great!" Ye Dina was overjoyed.
Unlike Ye Dina who was surprised, Xu Yingying was completely confused.
"Your Highness, Princess, what are you saying? I don't quite understand." Xu Yingying hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"Oh, I have liked these things since I was a child, but no one in the palace understood them. The high priest didn't want to teach me because of my father's order. I didn't expect to meet you again. It's great. Yingying, can you teach me?" Ye Dina took Xu Yingying's hand and said excitedly.
When Xu Yingying saw that Ye Dina was planning this, the smile on her face faded a little. She observed Ye Dina by herself, but Ye Dina looked at her with sparkling eyes.
After a long while, Xu Yingying sighed and said, "Princess, it's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just..."
Ye Dina's face was full of disappointment, "Just what, why can't you teach me?" Ye Dina was very distressed.
Xu Yingying was speechless. It was not that she did not want to teach, but learning this kind of thing required talent and intelligence. Ye Dina had neither of those things. She just said that she wanted to learn it because she liked it, but in the end she learned nothing. Who could she complain to? Xu Yingying did not want to take on this trouble.
"Your Highness, you are so precious, why do you insist on doing this? This kind of ghost magic is extremely dangerous."
"Even I had to survive a narrow escape of death back then. I had no choice but to learn this kind of thing. Now that the princess is so doted on in the palace, why should I make things difficult for myself?" Xu Yingying persuaded earnestly, making the art of ghosts and monsters sound particularly terrifying.
Ye Dina was obviously frightened. She took a few steps back and didn't mention the matter again.
After changing the subject, Xu Yingying chatted with Ye Dina for a few more words, and then Ye Dina left on her own.
Xu Yingying was happy about this. Without being disturbed by others, Xu Yingying continued what she was doing before. Sure enough, she still discovered some clues.
There was actually a well in the backyard. Xu Yingying felt very strange about it at first. After fooling Ye Dina away, Xu Yingying came to the well. After checking carefully, she found that there was an eye of the formation in the well.
Xu Yingying was overjoyed, and seeing that there was no one around, she wanted to take action and directly destroy the center of the formation. In this way, the formation would no longer work.
However, the accident happened when Xu Yingying least expected it.
Just when Xu Yingying was about to take action, Ye Luwen arrived.
"Beauty, beauty, where are you?"
Ye Luwen's voice reached Xu Yingying's ears, making her feel nauseous for no reason. She had always kept her distance from lecherous men like Ye Luwen, but this was in his harem, and Xu Yingying knew she could not escape.
Just when he was about to find a place to hide himself, Ye Luwen came over. When he saw Xu Yingying, a hint of lust flashed in his eyes.
"My beauty, you are here. What's so good about your lover? He is still locked up like a dead dog by me. As long as you obey me, I will show mercy and spare his life. How about that?"
Xu Yingying did not hide her disgust for Ye Luwen on her face at all.
"Ye Luwen, just give up on this idea. You're just dreaming about getting me!" After saying this, Xu Yingying turned around and left without hesitation.
But Ye Luwen didn't want to let Xu Yingying go. He grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her towards him. "Xu Yingying, don't be so shameless! It's your blessing that I like you. Today, I will not let you escape!"
After saying that, Ye Luwen wanted to force himself on Xu Yingying.
How could Xu Yingying just fulfill his wish? She made a gesture with the hand that was not restrained, and a vengeful ghost appeared silently beside Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying winked at it, and the resentful ghost attacked Ye Luwen without thinking.
A dark light flashed in Ye Luwen's eyes. He instantly let go of Xu Yingying's wrist and stepped back.
"You really do understand these things." Ye Luwen's face no longer had the same expression as before, but was replaced by a gloomy look.
Xu Yingying kneaded her wrist, which had just turned red from being pinched by Ye Luwen, and sneered, "Since Your Majesty knows, it's best to stop thinking about me. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that Your Majesty will not be hurt by these resentful ghosts."
