Looking at the butler and his son, whose legs were trembling and who were on the verge of fainting,

Xu Fu wiped the blood splattered on his face, a wicked smile on his face.

He stood before the two men, holding a bloodstained butcher's knife, the tip of the blade pointing at them—

Just when the steward thought they were going to die that day,

Xu Fu raised his knife and cut the ropes binding the two men, then slowly spoke...

"I'll take Miss Wan'er back first. I'm sure the butler can handle the rest on his own!"

Xu Fu casually tossed the question back at him.

This steward failed in his duty of guarding the house, so Xu Fu deliberately gave him a chance to make amends.

If they prove incompetent, then Xu Fu might consider replacing them...

Xu Fu bent down and picked up Xiao Hua, then said to the steward,

Hopefully, by tomorrow, this yard will be spotless.

"Yes, yes, young master—" the butler replied tremblingly, trying to steady himself.

"Oh, right," Xu Fulin said, turning back to look at the housekeeper and the others as he left the hospital, giving them a careful instruction.

"If any were wrongfully killed, remember to provide their families with some compensation."

Xu Fu's eyes darkened. Many people hadn't appeared; he didn't know if they had been drugged or taken away by the guards...

"As for those on the ground, let's cancel their accounts if they need to."

Xu Fu carried the rather heavy little flower back to the inner courtyard, already panting heavily after just half an hour's journey.

After he placed the person on the bed, he finally relaxed and sat down, leaning against the footstool.

Xu Fu shook his numb arms and muttered something under his breath.

"Should this girl lose weight?"

Xiao Hua has only been in the household for a year, and she's already as fat as a ball.

I was terrified of hunger in the past, so when good times came, I couldn't control my appetite...

Xu Fu, remembering the bloodstains on his body, carried the person back.

Little Flower's coat must have been stained red too—

Xu Fu, resigned to his fate, got up and reached out to tear off his outer garment.

"A girl sleeping in her pajamas might give her nightmares—"

Xu Fu suddenly realized that after having a roommate in the previous world, he was showing more and more signs of being a warm and caring man.

To prevent the female protagonist of this world from collapsing her Dao heart, Xu Fu did not leave her room immediately.

After covering Xiaohua with the blanket, Xu Fu also took off his outer garment.

I found a quilt and lay down on the low couch in the warm room.

Having traversed three worlds, this was the first time Xu Fu had faced such a bloody scene, and his heart was still somewhat unsettled.

It was my first time using a shotgun, and I was both excited and curious. Afterwards, I felt a little uncomfortable.

I feel somewhat guilty, but not much.

Unable to calm his mind, Xu Fu sat up, clutching his blanket.

"System, give me a sleeping pill—" Xu Fu calmly instructed the system to do the work.

[Thank you for the one point.]

Xu Fu flipped his hand, and a small, round pill appeared in his palm.

Xu Fu didn't hesitate and swallowed it down in one gulp.

Before he could react, a heavy wave of drowsiness swept over his brain.

Xu Fu's body went limp and he fell asleep in less than ten seconds, his breathing becoming long and even.

"what--"

A sharp, short scream rang out, instantly waking Xu Fu from his sweet dream.

The person quickly opened their eyes and found themselves in an unfamiliar place.

Turning to look at the source of the scream, I belatedly realized where I was...

After realizing that he felt no discomfort in his body, Xu Fu slowly got up.

Seeing that Xiaohua still looked panicked, I couldn't help but call out,

"Why are you making so much noise so early in the morning instead of sleeping?!"

Hearing that there were other people in the room, Xiaohua choked for a moment.

He continued to call out—

Xu Fu had finally gotten a good night's sleep, and now that he had been woken up, he was naturally in a bad mood.

He rushed to Xiaohua's bedside, hands on his hips, glaring at her.

"Stop shouting, you're going to steal my soul!"

When Xiao Hua saw Xu Fu suddenly appear, she screamed like a chicken being choked.

His mouth was wide open, but not a sound came out.

As if suddenly realizing something, her body trembled violently, and she struggled to retreat to the innermost part of the bed.

Then he pulled the blanket over his head, covering himself completely.

The violently shaking quilt betrayed the unease of the person hiding inside.

"So you've remembered what happened last night and are afraid of me now?" Xu Fu asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hua, who was hiding under the covers, trembled even more violently and kept whimpering.

Xu Fu, utterly helpless, could only explain in a low voice, "Under those circumstances..."

"If I don't intervene, both of us will die."

"Killing them was a last resort for me—"

Xu Fu sighed softly. Despite his patient explanations, the person still wouldn't come out.

If someone is older or has a more mature worldview, they should be able to understand Xu Fu's choice.

But right now, Xiaohua is just a little girl who is eight or nine years old...

"Never mind, take your time thinking about it. You don't need to go to class for the next few days, just get some rest—"

"If you want to go out for a walk, bring a few more people with you."

It would be good if the little girl wanted to go out for a stroll, so she wouldn't have to stay cooped up in her room all day in fear.

Xu Fu offered a few words of comfort, then took his clothes and returned to the front yard.

The sun is high in the sky now, and he and Xiaohua have been sleeping until almost noon.

When he returned to his yard, it had been cleaned spotlessly.

Even the sand on the ground had been re-laid, leaving no trace of last night...

As soon as Xu Fu opened the door, he saw his pageboy, Xiao Yu, who was guarding his room.

"Young Master—, would you like to change your clothes first?" The man bowed respectfully to Xu Fu.

"Aren't you afraid?" Xu Fu felt quite pleased with the man's reaction.

If everyone were as afraid of him and avoided him as Xiaohua, then this family would soon fall apart.

"I'm not afraid!" Xiaoyu shook her head solemnly, then quickly knelt down before Xu Fu and kowtowed.

"Young Master, it was our family's negligence that nearly put you in grave danger—"

"Please, young master, give our family a chance to make amends."

Xu Fu calmly observed the person kneeling on the ground, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

"Is this your idea or your father's idea?"

"Yes, it's what my family means—" Xiaoyu blushed and stammered as she explained.

"This servant knows his crimes are unforgivable; please, young master, do not sell my family."

“Our family voluntarily forgoes all monthly allowances and will remain by the young master’s side to atone for our sins.”

"Get up!" Xu Fu replied casually.

"Did you say these words yourself, or were you instructed by the butler?"
