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

Chapter 25

The blood corpse shook its head.

An Jiuxi narrowed her eyes slightly.

The blood corpse was so frightened that it waved its hands frantically, gesturing wildly to indicate that it wasn't that it didn't want to talk, but that it didn't know.

He's been like this since he became conscious.

He was the only person in this building... no, wait, a corpse.

As for the other people in the building, they were all dead.

But one day, because he was so bored, he took a portion of his evil energy and used it to control their bodies, making them look like living people.

An Jiuxi glanced at him and saw the blood corpse trembling, looking fearful and aggrieved, like a bewildered and cowardly little kid. She knew she probably wouldn't get anything out of him.

She raised her hand, made a hand seal, drew a talisman in the air, and slapped it onto the blood corpse's head.

The blood corpse immediately froze in place, as if it had been struck by a pressure point.

Disliking how unsightly his blood-stained body looked, An Jiuxi pulled down the curtains and covered his head before opening the door.

Outside, Jin Yize immediately stepped forward and wheeled himself up.

He looked her up and down and found that apart from her pale complexion, there was nothing wrong with her, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze swept past her and across the room. Amidst the mess on the floor, a human figure covered by a cloth stood there.

"So? What's inside?"

Using spiritual power to draw talismans to suppress the blood corpse, An Jiuxi felt a little dizzy.

She subconsciously moved closer to Jin Yize, frantically absorbing the purple aura emanating from him to nourish her empty dantian.

"There's a blood corpse inside, but I've already used a talisman to suppress it."

An Jiuxi pointed to the humanoid figure, "However, the evil energy inside is quite strong, so you shouldn't go in yet."

Of the group, only Yuan Gang sincerely asked, "What is a blood corpse...?"

This was his first time encountering such metaphysical things, and he was both curious and incredulous.

“A blood corpse is…” An Jiuxi frowned and thought for a moment, trying to explain in simple terms, “a fierce corpse that has been skinned alive, then brutally murdered, and then created by gathering yin energy using a fierce and malevolent formation!”

He paused, then continued, "This kind of thing has no mind; it only knows how to kill. Everyone in this building was probably killed by it. Its souls were probably devoured, so the originally unconscious thing developed sentience. The yin energy gathered by the formation here is just what helps it cultivate and grow, allowing it to evolve to the point where it can control the evil energy within its body and distribute it to the people it killed, controlling them to move like living people."

Yuan Gang was stunned.

This is really... way beyond what's required!

He recited it repeatedly in his mind, then asked, "Then... who killed him and turned him into a blood corpse? And what was that person's purpose?"

An Jiuxi shrugged, "How would I know?"

Her answer was so confident that Yuan Gang choked on his words, looking like he was constipated.

The sirens blared downstairs, and the police finally arrived.

Jin Yize glanced at the blood-soaked corpse covered by the curtains, then reached out and grasped An Jiuxi's wrist. "Let's go, let's go downstairs first."

The moment their bodies made contact, the purple aura swirling around Jin Yize seemed to be drawn in, converging into a small river of purple aura at the point of contact and flowing into An Jiuxi's body.

The instant feeling of her meridians filling out relieved her pale complexion, and a few drops of color crept onto her fair cheeks.

Her peach blossom eyes gleamed with an unusual light, and her eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at Jin Yize.

Surprisingly, physical contact can actually make this thing go even faster!

This is truly something I've never seen before!

Jin Yize couldn't see it, but he could clearly feel that An Jiuxi's condition improved much faster.

He blinked, but didn't say anything, only squeezing her wrist as a hint.

He then said to Lu Huaisang, who was standing beside him, "Take me down."

Lu Huaisang looked at him, then at An Jiuxi, and then at their clasped wrists. After confirming that An Jiuxi had no intention of helping him, Lu Huaisang stepped forward and lifted Jin Yize up, wheelchair and all!
