After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 23

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The sharp fingernails stopped in front of his eyes, less than a centimeter away.

Li Wu's screams were so loud they were split.

Even Yuan Gang, a burly man, couldn't help but change his expression, and his calves started to cramp.

An Jiuxi's eardrums hurt from the screams.

She frowned and kicked Li Wu, "Shut up!"

Li Wu, “…”

She covered her mouth tightly, her eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out.

Look at An Jiuxi, then look at that thing that rushed out of the door, covered in blood, barely recognizable as a human...?

What the hell is this?!

With the demonic sound attack gone, An Jiuxi twisted off the blood corpse's hand and kicked him in the stomach, sending him back into the room.

After the meal, he didn't even glance at Li Wu and Yuan Gang, only saying, "Don't come in."

He slipped into the house and slammed the door shut.

Yuan Gang stared wide-eyed at the tightly closed door.

It took Li Wu a while to recover, his legs trembling as he slumped against the cold wall.

He stammered as he asked Yuan Gang, "What...what was that thing just now? Was it a person?"

Yuan Gang looked at him like he was an idiot, "Do you think a person could survive losing that much blood?"

Li Wu's eyebrows twitched violently, and his legs trembled even more violently.

He wanted to broaden his horizons by following Sister Xixi, but... he didn't expect to risk his life!

Before Li Wu could say anything more, a thumping sound suddenly came from downstairs.

It sounds like footsteps.

Cold sweat poured down my face.

Li Wu, his face deathly pale as if he were about to faint, asked, "W-what's coming up? Is it...is it a person?"

Yuan Gang almost wanted to punch him and knock him unconscious.

You're asking me? Who the hell am I supposed to ask?!

He grabbed Li Wu and pressed him against the corner wall, gripping his hands hanging at his sides, his whole body tense as he stared intently at the stairwell.

Thinking that no matter what comes up later, he'll kick it first!

The sound drew closer, ever closer...

A raised shadow was cast in front of the two of them.

The shadow's legs were very thin, but its belly was very large, as if it were supporting a huge ball in front of it...

Something's definitely not right at first glance!

Li Wu's heart was pounding in his throat, and cold sweat blurred his vision.

Yuan Gang's nerves were on edge, and his vest was soaked with sweat.

The shadow stepped onto the last step, and was about to come face to face with them.

"Ah!" Yuan Gang roared and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick.

Snapped!

Yuan Gang's leg, which had been holding back all his strength, was slapped down, and the pain made his face change color.

Li Wu closed his eyes and yelled, "Aaaaah... I'll fight you to the death!"

He shouted as he rushed forward.

Jin Yize watched as the two people suddenly rushed out from around the corner, as if it were a farce.

One was determined to kick him, the other was frantically doggy-paddleing...

It’s hard to comment!

Lu Huaisang easily grabbed Li Wu by the neck, his expression equally bewildered and strange.

He looked at Jin Yize, "Seventh Master, it's a person!"

Li Wu and Yuan Gang were also taken aback when they heard the voice.

After realizing what was happening, Li Wu, who was being choked, screamed like a chicken, his neck stiff, "You...you...you people are human too?"

Lu Huaisang glanced at his face, then released his grip. "Li Wu?"

Li Wu froze again, looking like a complete idiot, "You know me?"

Jin Yize didn't seem to be talking to an idiot. "Where's An Jiuxi?"

It turns out she's a friend of Sister Xixi.

Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the closed door, "Sister Xixi is inside!"
