Margarets Geheimnis - Kapitel 27
Why? Why am I not dead yet?
Princess Pingyang suddenly knelt before Emperor Wu...
“Sister, you…” Emperor Wu looked at me and immediately understood that the princess had switched my cup of poisoned wine.
Emperor Wu sighed deeply: "Go, and never appear in Chang'an again!" Then, with a hint of reluctance, he glanced at Xiao Yuan's body and said, "Bury the old eunuch and Han Xiao Yuan in Pei County. No gold or silver or similar burial items are allowed in the tomb. Set off tonight to transport the bodies."
...
Night fell. Along the road leading from Chang'an to elsewhere, I nestled against a withered old tree, my gaze vacant. Suddenly, the little monkey leaped before me. This clever little creature seemed to want to comfort me, but my heart was now as cold as ashes, never to be rekindled. "Chirp!" the monkey suddenly cried out. It turned out the convoy transporting Xiao Yuan and the old eunuch was approaching in the distance…
Xiao Yuan, I've come to see you off... I turned and stood up, and the vase in my arms suddenly fell out. This is... I seemed to remember something, but how can I put the vase in the coffin? If I show up, I'll definitely be killed by the escorts.
"Chirp!" The little monkey chirped at me as if it could read my mind.
"You?"
"Chirp chirp!" The little monkey nodded.
"You know I'm going to put the vase in Xiaoyuan's coffin?" I was very surprised.
The little monkey snatched the vase from my hand and darted towards the convoy. Could it fit inside? Could this vase really preserve a person's soul? Why worry? If it failed, how could Xiaoyuan and I have met again in the future…
I lay down beside the tree, curled up, closed my eyes, and recalled the past with Xiaoyuan, from when we met to when we parted ways...

"Young Master..."
"kindness?"
"May I take a bite?"
"No...no..."
"Just one bite... I'm so hungry..."

Reply [81]: "Please! No... Ah..."
My beloved Fuji apples! They were meant to be a late-night snack, but she ate them all...
"What a delicious apple..." The female ghost patted her stomach. Was she full already? Did beautiful women eat so little? She hadn't eaten for thousands of years!
※ ※ ※
"You're back!" Xiaoyuan's appearance surprised me quite a bit. She was dressed like a housewife, something I must have seen on TV, but it felt so heartwarming!
"Please have your meal!"... I felt like an emperor!
I washed my hands, sat down, and took a closer look at the dishes. I was stunned!
Sweet and sour carp!
Sweet and sour pork ribs!
Sweet and sour radish!
Stir-fried cabbage with vinegar!
Hot and sour soup!
...
"Wha...what? It's all sour vegetables?! I'm not pregnant!"
"Hmph! I like to add extra vinegar! Is that not allowed?"
What's wrong? She seems a little unhappy.
"Didn't you sleep soundly last night? In a beautiful woman's boudoir! Humph..."
She! She's following me again!!
She suddenly slammed me to the ground, making a loud thud! I hope I didn't disturb the people downstairs. (Aside: You seem to live in a single-story house, right? Answer: ...555...Give me some face, nobody's rich when they're young. Not everyone can be born with Jordan's shooting accuracy! But one day I'll be able to afford an apartment, hmph...Poor teenager! And terminal cancer at that!)
W-what? Could it be that her moans just now unleashed the pent-up desires she'd suppressed for two thousand years? No way! If that's the case, even ten testicles wouldn't be enough... the sperm bank would be empty!!
She let her soft, long hair fall over me, mingling with my chest hair! (Narrator: Come on! You clearly have a blue dragon on your chest! Answer: Auntie? What happened to the series of insults you used to tease me about my little cow? Narrator: 5555... They all got mad cow disease and were killed...)
Her body was ice-cold—the extreme of Yin! My body was burning hot—the extreme of Yang!
Oh... does she want to... practice Yin-Yang dual cultivation with me? ...I'm so shy!
...Hehe...Why isn't she hurrying up? I'm so anxious...No, I can't let her see how anxious I am. I'm a virgin, I have to keep my composure!!
She's coming closer! ...She's coming closer!! Her alluring, purplish lips are slowly moving towards me... How delicious this is!!
Her fragrant lips stopped abruptly a fraction of a second away from me. What happened? Was it because I hadn't chewed Wrigley's Spearmint gum beforehand?
She sighed softly, "...I love you...I'm willing to break the wings on my back for you..."
Huh? What does that mean? I don't understand, it's even more profound than the Daqing Oilfield! She's a female ghost, not an angel!
"It's touching... I cried when I read this..."
So she was imitating lines from TV!
"Haha! You can cry too? Like a ghost crying??" I laughed at her gleefully.
"Ahhhhhh!" Oh my god! So rude, she gets angry just because she can't win an argument... 5555...
"Haha! You can scream too? Howl like a wolf??" she retorted angrily.

Reply [82]: “Hey! Are you asleep?” she asked from inside the dark vase.
I remained silent in the warm blankets, so she would think I was truly asleep. To ghosts, the concepts of day and night are completely reversed.
"Hey! I know you're not asleep! Answer me now! Or else..."
"Yes... I'm here!" I quickly replied.
"My mind is filled with the scenes I saw on TV during the day. I was so moved. That woman who could fly..." "She was an angel!" I corrected her.
"That angel actually broke off her own beautiful white wings for the one she loved... How I envy such beautiful love..."
"Damn it! It's all a lie, fake, you know? It's just to get ratings from sentimental people like you!"
"Then... if I meet a man who makes my heart flutter, I'm willing to sacrifice everything for him..."
I didn't say anything. This female ghost is quite infatuated. She's so beautiful and a great cook. If she were human... Oh, what am I thinking? If she were human, I wouldn't stand a chance! I could just walk down the street, find a random beggar, wash him clean, and he might even be more handsome than me... 5555...
"Do you think... I'll meet him...?"
I had no answer, so I pretended to be asleep. "Hoo...shh..."
This time, she didn't try to force me to wake up...

The Wild Bird Tribe seemed to be gradually leaving us behind. I clung tightly to Xiaoyuan's back, letting the wind whistle past my ears, intoxicated by the wonderful feeling. Xiaoyuan's fragrance seemed to seep directly into my mind and heart through my hairy nasal cavity. Like a faint static electricity, it coursed through my body, making me feel tingly and numb. This feeling was so comfortable and pleasant. I really wanted to stay close to her like this forever, and I really wanted the horse to run forever, past the moon, past the sun, past the Milky Way... just like our love, which has transcended the limitations of time and space, crossed the end of life, and is still persisting... Although my body is so tired and exhausted, my heart is so sweet and happy...
※ ※ ※
I listened to her soft, even snoring. Even dressed in men's clothing, her graceful figure was still faintly visible. Strangely, I didn't have any impure thoughts. I just wanted to sit beside her like this forever, even if it meant turning into stone, as long as I could be by Xiaoyuan's side...
"Dongfang Shuo!" Xiao Yuan cried out. "You scared me to death! I was really into my fantasy." "You bastard! Why did you get into the carriage..." She rolled over and went back to sleep.
Oh, she was just talking in her sleep. I breathed a sigh of relief. Wait, what did she just say? Could it be… she's jealous? Haha!! I rushed out of the tent, did a set of Five Elements Fist, danced the "Pa La Pa La" dance for a while, did nine somersaults, and a set of broadcast exercises*, and I still felt excited… It was amazing! All my hard work paid off, I'm so touched! Heaven truly has eyes! (Aside: Chicken eye!)
After venting my anger, I returned to the tent and went to Xiaoyuan's side. I want to protect you! Although I don't have strong muscles, broad shoulders, superb martial arts skills, or amazing strength, none of that matters, because I have a heart that loves you! Thinking about this, I actually fell asleep...
I don't know how much time had passed, but in my hazy state, I seemed to see the candlelight flickering. Could it be that it was already night?
I glimpsed Xiaoyuan had taken off her men's clothes and was fetching a bucket of water to do her hair. She tilted her head slightly, pushed her long, black hair to one side, and held a small wooden comb between her slender fingers. She dipped the comb in water, and the teeth of the comb passed through the countless strands of hair, flowing smoothly to the ends...
What a dreamlike picture of a beautiful woman dressing up! It reminds me of a line from Su Dongpo's poem: "...by the small window, she is dressing her hair. They gaze at each other speechlessly, only tears streaming down their faces..."
※ ※ ※
"No!" I finally managed to break free, looking aggrieved, and covered my chest with my hands. "I'm very traditional!"
"So what?" Xiaoyuan said fiercely.
"I'm very traditional, so please let me be on top..."
"No!" I was ruthlessly pushed down.
"I'm a grown man, I want to be on top!"
"No!" He was pressed down again.
"I must be on top..." Suddenly, a gleaming sword was pressed against my neck. "Oh... down... down is not bad either, it's easier to escape during an earthquake..." This domineering woman!
I just got beaten up and I'm badly injured, and now she's pinning me down... 555... It's a bittersweet experience.
※ ※ ※
"Ah~~ Fireflies!!" Xiaoyuan exclaimed excitedly.
They really are fireflies.
"So beautiful!" She ran over and reached out to catch it. "Hehe..."
It was the first time I had ever seen her smile so innocently, a smile that seemed to belong to no one else, a genuine smile that was free from all pretense. She actually loved fireflies so much.
---janeadam
Reply [83]: "Oh!" Xiao Yuan was so focused on catching fireflies that she didn't look at the stones under her feet and fell to the ground.
"Oh no!" Why did I rush over so nervously? I rushed over instinctively.
Did you hurt your face? (Aside: Hey! So you only like her looks, how superficial!) Answer: I admit, at first I did, but now I really like her. Even if she's no longer beautiful, even if being with her is tiring, you know, sometimes, two people in love suffering together is more enviable than a lonely person enjoying happiness alone.
Aside: ...555... Answer: Why are you crying? Aside: You guessed it, I'm actually really envious of you guys...)
I helped Xiaoyuan up. "Are you alright?"
"..." Her face was covered in tears. What happened? Xiaoyuan suddenly threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly.
