“The master said not to disturb him before evening.”
“But he’s already been in the room with that girl for an hour. Surely he’s done whatever he wanted to do?”
“You go report.”
“No, you go.”
I frowned. From their tone, Huahua had been held here for some time and was locked in a room, seemingly with someone else who hadn’t come out.
Just as I stood up, a little ghost shouted, “What are you doing? Sit down!”
I swept a cold glance, and all the ghosts in the hall collapsed. I moved my hand, and the ropes fell off. As I was about to step forward, the fat man started wailing, “Help me untie my ropes too!”
“Stop yelling!” I growled in annoyance, slicing his ropes with my fingernail. “What if you alert other ghosts?”
The fat man shrank back, glancing outside. “They’re already alerted by your noise.”
Incompatible destinies! We must be fated to clash! Harboring resentment, I ignored the fat man and rushed into the inner hall. Horrific ghost screams came from behind, sending a chill down my spine.
Not good. My mortal form was about to collapse. I needed to find Huahua and take her away quickly.
I kicked open door after door but found no one, could detect no trace of her.
The fat man followed behind, panting, “Miss, you’ve broken so many doors. How will they sleep tonight?”
“Shut up!” I snapped.
“Ah, miss, being this fierce means no one will want to marry you.”
“As long as I’m not stuck with you, that’s fine.” If I weren’t in a hurry to find Huahua, I would have thrown him out.
By the time I sensed Huahua’s location, I had already broken over twenty doors, and my foot was aching. When I finally confirmed the door, I raised my foot to kick – but the door opened at that moment. Losing my balance, I fell forward.
The person who had just dodged me narrowed their eyes, raised their left foot, and kicked me out.
The force was so strong it made my chest hurt, and I bent over, spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.
“Drag this mortal out and kill her,” a cold voice said without a hint of warmth.
