Ou Ziheng was terrified, involuntarily stepping back, and people around him avoided him like a plague, with exclamations filling the room.
But then, the head suddenly turned, those familiar eyes staring directly at him, as if finally finding its target, bouncing closer.
“Thump, thump, thump, thump…”
Ou Ziheng’s back was against the wall, his whole body shaking, watching the head’s mouth crack into a bizarre smile, suddenly leaping towards him!
“Ah—”
Ou Ziheng’s limbs went weak, too scared to even lift them. In that moment, fear infinitely magnified. He thought he was doomed, but the head suddenly stopped mid-air.
A hand touched its forehead.
The hand was fair and slender, with translucent fingertips, emitting a faint jade-like light, stopping the horrifying head in mid-air.
Ou Ziheng’s open mouth forgot to close, shocked to find the person was Luo Mingbai, the “fraud” he had just cursed.
The next second, Luo Mingbai slapped the head away with a resounding smack that made Ou Ziheng’s mouth twitch.
Luo Mingbai: “Wow, what is this thing? It looks so ugly.”
Chapter 24: Cultured
Xia Xianning was slightly slower than Luo Mingbai, having just returned to the room when a head suddenly flew over. This head, resembling Ou Ziheng, seemed to be struggling desperately, spinning around while opening its mouth towards Xia Xianning, revealing a row of sharp white teeth.
Xia Xianning didn’t even glance at it, casually chopping with his palm and shouting, “Heavenly Profound Sect, Command Thunder, Break!”
The head instantly fell to the ground, extinguished by his bare hand, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
As the head landed, Ou Ziheng felt something explode inside him, his mind somewhat dazed. His legs went weak, and he sat on the ground, gasping heavily. Sweat slid down from his forehead to his chin, and he was speechless for a while.
Xia Xianning didn’t stop, walking directly over and coldly asking, “What happened?”
Ou Ziheng couldn’t speak, while others chattered and explained:
“We don’t know what happened. This head suddenly popped out, and it looked exactly like Ou Ge!”
“Yes, it was bouncing on the ground, hopping over by itself!”
“Thankfully, Captain Xia and this Luo… Luo Master are here! Please protect our safety!”
Xia Xianning glanced at Luo Yingbai and raised his chin: “Hmm?”
