Luo Xueyun frowned and glanced around, trying to find the source of the disgusting rotten smell.

With the blessing of spiritual vision, Luo Xueyun can ignore the existence of the night.

Not far away, at the edge of a dark forest, something seemed to be shaking slightly.

While the guards in front were chatting with Luo Mingjian and Xu Donghua, she carefully and quickly slipped to the woods over there.

The further they went inside, the stronger the smell of decay became. Luo Xueyun's heartbeat quickened a lot, and she felt that her heartbeat was particularly clear in the silent night.

As the distance shortened, the smell became stronger, almost suffocating her.

Finally, she came to a low-lying area and saw dozens of highly decomposed bodies of men and women lying there. The surrounding soil was stained black.

The corpses were crawling with maggots, and their wriggling looked particularly creepy in the moonlight.

Luo Xueyun covered her mouth and nose, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, with an indescribable fear surging in her heart.

Tsk... I didn't expect it to be a rotten corpse. It seems that the Li family is really determined to bring their son back to life.

The resentment of a rotting corpse is heavier than that of a newly dead corpse, so the effect of refining it is naturally different.

It would be better for the corpses to be buried as soon as possible. They have already died of resentment, and they cannot be buried after death. Instead, they are stripped of their clothes and thrown into this desolate place, and are suppressed by magic. Their resentment can be said to be reaching the sky.

Luo Xueyun only took a glance at the formation on the ground and she had already memorized it.

Then she quickly returned to where Xu Donghua and Luo Ming were standing behind them.

Fortunately, the three people were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice that she had just disappeared for a while, otherwise there would have been quite a commotion.

Looking at the expressions of Luo Mingjian, Xu Donghua and the guard, they seemed to be unable to smell the disgusting smell.

Could it be that only she could smell this scent?

The secret guard looked at Shen Yelin and said, "Young Master, what was Miss Luo doing in there just now?"

Shen Yelin did not answer him directly: "Do you smell anything strange?"

The dark guard shook his head: "No."

Soon another secret guard said, "Master, I smell it! A very stinky rotten smell."

"There must be a lot of dead bodies hidden in this damn Li family, otherwise why would it smell so bad!"

After listening to what the two secret guards said, Shen Yelin came to the conclusion that only people with magical powers could smell this rotten smell.

People without magical powers cannot smell it.

The secret guard who couldn't smell scratched his head and said, "That's weird. Why can't I smell it? Is my nose blocked?"

Shen Yelin: "It's normal that you can't smell it."

"Because this smell can only be smelled by people with magical powers. I guess someone has used a formation to suppress this rotten smell, so ordinary people can't smell it."

Shen Yelin patted his shoulder and said, "You still have three days before your spiritual power awakens. You should be thankful that your spiritual power is not awakening today."

"Otherwise, you won't be able to stand the smell."

After hearing what Shen Yelin said, the secret guard chuckled and said, "It seems that my luck is pretty good."

Shen Yelin took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and handed it to the secret guard next to him: "Go and distribute these pills to those with magical powers."

"After eating, the smell will disappear."

Secret guard: "Yes."

Shen Ye Lin half-knelt on the eaves. The night was as dark as ink, but his eyes were even deeper than the night.

Looking at the grove where the bodies were hidden, he clenched his fists, as if he wanted to hold all his anger in his palms, waiting for the right opportunity to throw a punch.

The veins on the back of his hands snaked like snakes, a sign of the storm in his heart at the moment.

In order to let their son marry a ghost, the Li family actually killed so many innocent people.

They simply treat human life as worthless! They rely on their high position and power to kill innocent people. Such people have no regard for the safety of the people, no justice, only narrow-mindedness and the nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!

The wind was howling, and deep in the Li family compound, the lights were dim, as if shrouded by a thick haze.

Led by the guards, Luo Xueyun and her group were brought to the Li family's courtyard.

Xu Donghua and Luo Ming both screamed as soon as they arrived here.

The guards in front quickly gave them a hushing expression.

Luo Xueyun sneered from behind, mocking their cowardice.

But the next second, Luo Xueyun remembered that Shen Yelin and the others were still looking at her. If she didn't pretend, wouldn't it be inconsistent with her current personality?

So she screamed, and sat down on the ground with weak legs, looking at the cold corpses placed in the middle of the courtyard with horror.

These corpses have distorted faces and empty eyes, as if they were accusing themselves of the injustices they suffered in their lifetime.

Luo Xueyun screamed in horror, tears continuously flowing from her eyes, and her entire face was filled with fear.

One of the secret guards who were watching this scene from the eaves of the house slowly spoke up, "Why is Miss Luo's reaction half a beat slower than Xu Donghua and Luo Mingjian?"

"Did you come to your senses because you were scared?"

Another one replied: "She is only four years old, still a little girl, how fast do you expect her to react?"

Someone else said, "Although Miss Luo looked pitiful because she was frightened, I don't know why she looked a little funny just now because she was a little slow."

As soon as he said this, he knew he had said the wrong thing. At that moment, everyone turned their eyes to Shen Ye Lin standing beside him.

Shen Yelin said calmly: "She is so young, and it is her first time seeing such a scene, so it is normal for her to react slowly."

Shen Ye Lin's voice echoed in everyone's ears like cold spring water, making everyone feel cold.

His eyes were not directed at anyone, but it seemed as if everyone was included in his sight.

"So, don't worry too much."

"If you had seen such a scene when you were a child, I believe you would have felt the same way."

Shen Ye Lin's profile looked even colder under the cold moonlight, and his eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.

At that moment, everyone was shocked by his aura and even their breathing became cautious.

There was an indescribable sense of tension in the air, as if a storm would come at any moment.

However, Shen Yelin just stood there quietly without saying another word, but it was enough to make everyone silent.

Everyone was quiet and no one dared to say another word.

When Shen Yelin turned around, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that Luo Xueyun's behavior just now was just for him.

She was afraid that he would find out what she really was like, and that he would dislike her.

But in fact, what Shen Yelin likes is exactly what she is hiding now.

Xu Donghua hurried over and covered Luo Xueyun's mouth, looking at her fiercely and said, "Shut up!"

"Why cry!"

"shut up!"

Luo Xueyun was frightened by Xu Donghua's sudden roar, and her whole body trembled. Her tears fell uncontrollably like beads from a broken string.

Her eyes were wide open, and her pupils reflected Xu Donghua's face distorted by anger. The fierce look in her eyes seemed to devour her alive.

The air around seemed to freeze, with only Luo Xueyun's faint sobs echoing in the empty space.

Her lips were tightly covered by Xu Donghua's palms, making her unable to make any sound. She could only struggle helplessly, trying to break free from the restraints.

Her face was as pale as paper, and fear and despair intertwined in her eyes, forming a heartbreaking picture.

Xu Donghua: "Wasn't it quite possible in the carriage just now?"

"Do you know you're afraid now?"

"late!"

"I'm telling you, you'll have to keep company with these corpses soon, and you'll suffer!"

Luo Xueyun looked at Xu Donghua in horror.

Xu Donghua couldn't help but laugh: "Ah, I just like seeing your scared expression."

"But now I kind of miss you at your hardest."

"Show me another fierce one."

Faced with Xu Donghua's current provocation, Luo Xueyun couldn't fight back, so she could only pretend to be herself.

Luo Xueyun shook her head and stared at Xu Donghua with a frightened look, which made Xu Donghua very satisfied with her current appearance.

Luo Mingjian looked at the guard beside him and said, "Little brother, who are these bodies?"

The guard whispered, "They are all for the young master to marry."

"Doctor Luo, can you please check on your daughter's situation? She will be meeting the Master and Madam soon."

Luo Ming saw this and said quickly, "I'll go check it out now."

Guard: "Well, please hurry up."

Luo Mingjian: "Okay, okay."

He ran to Xu Donghua and Luo Xueyun. Luo Mingjian looked at Xu Donghua and said, "Mom, are you done? They are urging us."

Xu Donghua: "Got it."

She lowered her head and looked at Luo Xueyun: "You'd better hold it in. If you dare to cry out loud, I guarantee that you will die a more miserable death in a while!"

Luo Xueyun was so frightened that her body trembled, and she nodded repeatedly.

Only then did Xu Donghua release the hand that was covering her mouth.

Luo Xueyun constantly admired herself in her heart. Her acting skills were getting better and better.

I feel like the next Oscar for Best Actress will be hers.

At this time, Li Quande and his wife Chen Yiyi were sitting in the main hall waiting for Luo Xueyun and the other three.

In the center of the main hall was a pale corpse, which looked like a person who was deader than dead.

Luo Xueyun and the others saw it as soon as they entered the room. Although Xu Donghua and Luo Mingjian wanted to scream out in their hearts, they forced themselves to hold it back.

The male corpse was wearing gorgeous clothes. It was obvious without any doubt that it was Li Zhen, the young master of the Li family.

Luo Xueyun took a look at the male corpse. From the way he died, it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.

The corpse has not rotted, which means someone has been using magical tools to keep him alive.

Otherwise, it would have been rotten to the point where even your parents wouldn’t be able to recognize it.

Just as the guard was about to step forward to introduce Luo Xueyun and the other two to Chen Yiyi and Li Quande, a high priest in suspicious clothing walked in.

The man had a sinister face, was wearing a black robe, and was holding a strange wooden stick. He walked straight towards the corpse in the main hall.

When Li Quande and Chen Yiyi saw him, they hurriedly stood up and went forward to greet him, but were stopped by the high priest.

The two of them sat back down.

[This Li family is really stupid and rich. Anyway, I will run away after this corpse is refined. ]

[The rest of the mess will be left for them to deal with on their own. ]

[Look at Li Quande and Chen Yiyi, they are still relatively young. They can just work harder. Why do they have to hang themselves on the same tree? ]

[They are so stupid, they deserve me to make so much money from them. ]

This was the inner voice of the high priest. Hearing what he said, he probably did not tell them the serious harm of the dead body.

I just talked about how to take care of him in daily life.

[In three days, my son will be able to come back to life.]

[Son, just hold on, and you will be resurrected soon.]

This is Chen Yiyi’s voice.

Then Li Quande’s voice rang in Luo Xueyun’s mind.

[Son, Dad knew that you were not destined to die. Otherwise, we wouldn't have met the high priest.]

[Dad has done everything for you. From now on, you have to work hard on your own. 】

[Dad believes that you will be able to stand in front of us again. ]

Luo Xueyun thought that was the end of it, but she didn't expect that the guard's complaints also echoed in her mind.

[This family is really crazy. They killed so many people. I was just assigned by the higher-ups to be a janitor.]

[I never thought about getting involved in this...]

[I want to leave but I can’t. If this gets discovered and reported and my house is confiscated, I will suffer.]

[I really don’t want to work as a guard for even a day…]

[I don’t make much money, getting scolded is the norm, and I have so little free time. There is no difference between being alive and being dead.]

[I worked all night for several nights but didn’t even ask for more money. I don’t know why I work so hard every day. 】

[So my life is worthless and I am not worthy of anything, right? ]

[We can’t enjoy happiness together, but we can be beheaded together. I’ve had enough. 】

When Luo Xueyun heard this, she almost laughed out loud.

She managed to hold it back with great difficulty.

As expected, workers are the first targets of ruthless exploitation no matter what era it is.

When Luo Xueyun came to her senses, the high priest was already pacing back and forth among the corpses. He was using the soul-calling steps instead of just stepping randomly.

This is in preparation for the corpse refining in a while.

Every time he swung the wooden stick, a corpse outside would slowly stand up, as if controlled by an invisible force.

For some unknown reasons, some corpses were bleeding from all seven orifices when they were stood up, and a large amount of blood was soon left on the ground.

As he controlled more corpses, the bloodstains on the ground became larger.

The air around was filled with the smell of blood and death, making people feel suffocated.

The moonlight shone through the clouds onto the bloody field, adding a touch of eeriness and terror.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the lights in the hall swayed, illuminating his face, which made him look even more eerie.

Luo Mingjian and Xu Donghua both shuddered involuntarily, and an inexplicable fear surged in their hearts.

This was the first time they had seen such a scene.
