C35 (1/2)

”What happened? Why did I fall asleep …” ”Where's Meng Chen?”

I hastily replied, ”Everything's over. Han Mengchen will be resting in the room. You can stay here to accompany her tonight.”

I was also tired after a night of tossing and turning, so I yawned and walked out of the house. I got in the car and went home. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ling'er and Tang Yufeng sitting on the sofa. These two girls were waiting for me.

Tang Yu Feng was a little worried as she asked: ”Are you hurt? Did you solve the problem with that pervert?”

”It's all settled. It's all over.” I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Then I came out and sat on the couch.

Tang Yufeng poured a cup of water and handed it to me. ”What happened?” she asked softly.

”There's no danger …” That piece of jade pendant saved me. So it turns out that the wife of the pervert Qin Xiao Yun, Hua Ji, that Hua Ji's soul has always been within the jade pendant. ” This could also be considered a good ending. I could finally rest easy and sleep in peace.

I walked into the bedroom as if I was relieved from a burden and laid down on the bed. Ling'er and Tang Yufeng ran in and lay down on both sides of me. A fox and a ghost, who is more powerful than me? These two are not things that ordinary people can control.

I held Tang Yufeng in my arms, while Ling'er turned into a fox. Her furry tail was still warm as it draped over my body.

I slept soundly that night, and I woke up early the next morning. Only Ling'er was still lying on top of me. I got up and got out of bed. After washing up, I was about to go downstairs and get some breakfast when I heard a doorbell ring.

”Ding dong …” Who could it be this early in the morning? I got up and opened the door to find Guan Rou standing outside.

I curiously asked, ”Why are you here?”

”Let me bring you breakfast.” At this moment, Ling'er walked out of the house and ran over excitedly. I discovered that this young lady had clearly come to the mortal world to eat delicious food. She really is a glutton.

I whispered, ”Is Han Mengchen awake?” It should be fine now! ”

Guan Rou softly said, ”It's much better now. She asked me to thank you and also said that she would treat you to a meal.”

”Forget it. I'm going back to my hometown today. I'll be back in a few days.” After being busy for so long, it's about time I go back and take a look. If it wasn't for the old man's help these few times, even ten to eight times my death wouldn't be enough.

I took out the jade pendant and handed it to Guan Rou, asking her to pass it to Han Mengchen. I looked at Ling'er, who had been here for quite a while. It was time to send her back.

Although Ling'er didn't want to part with me, I told her that I would go and fetch her after a while in order to coax her. That way, she would be willing to leave. I bought some things and rode back to the countryside. It was strange that the old man didn't open his shop to do business today.

I knocked on the door doubtfully, but there was no sound from the inside. Feeling suddenly uneasy, I kicked the door open.

The scene before me stunned me. The shop was in a mess with the old man lying on the ground. I hastily ran over to help him up. I reached out my hand to feel it, but the old man was already dead.

This... What was going on!?

”Old Man …” ”Don't you dare scare me …” My eyes reddened and I couldn't help but cry. The house was in a mess, it was impossible to say that it was a thief. The old man wasn't poor with money in his life, and the only things that were of value were the axe and the tobacco pipe pot.

Who would kill people for those two worthless things? I took care of the old man's affairs and set up a mourning hall in the shop.
