Lu Jinhuan hugged me and floated in the cold water.
The water seemed to be still. The surroundings were silent, and my heart slowly calmed down.
The torture I suffered these past few days had made me extremely weak. Now that I was at ease, I could no longer hold on and fell asleep in Lu Jinhuan's arms.
This time, I slept exceptionally soundly. I had no idea when Lu Jinhuan carried me back to my room.
When I woke up, I was already lying on the bed with my clothes on. Lu Jinhuan was standing in front of the bed, looking at me with a dark gaze. His handsome face was still dark and pale.
He looked so terrifying, but I still wanted to get close to him.
I tried to move my body, but I realized that my entire body was stiff and I couldn't move.
I could only look at Lu Jinhuan pleadingly and plead,""I want to be closer to you, can I?”
Lu Jinhuan didn't say anything, but he answered me with his actions.
He sat down on the bed. I tried my best to move my head closer to him.
I just want to be next to him. That way, I'll feel very safe.
Lu Jinhuan probably noticed that I was feeling uncomfortable, so he helped me to straighten my head and lay down beside me.
"Lu Jinhuan, I thought I would never see you again.”I turned to look at Lu Jinhuan. He was lying on his back. His side profile was so beautiful that it looked like it was carved out, but it was so perfect that it was impossible to replicate.
His thin lips parted and Lu Jinhuan's voice was heard,""I will find you."
I was slightly stunned.
He turned his head, stared at me, and repeated,"I will find you, Shen Yan, no matter where you are.”
That pair of cold eyes contained a firm power that penetrated my eyes and reached the bottom of my heart.
My heart stopped beating.
Unknowingly, tears blurred my vision.
My heart was filled with gratitude and guilt. I was touched by Lu Jinhuan's protection of me, and I felt guilty for scheming against him. If I hadn't become a zombie, I would still be thinking about how to get close to him and gain his trust.
Ever since Gu Ming told me that he found a way to save me, I've been looking forward to turning back into a normal person, but at this moment, I hesitated.
I'm a zombie now, so I can ignore everything when I lose control. But what about when I become a normal person? I have to continue to complete the mission that the Lu family gave me. I know very well that Pei Yuan wants me to gain Lu Jinhuan's trust, so his ultimate goal must be to harm Lu Jinhuan.
He's so good to me, how can I repay his kindness with ingratitude…
His cold fingers gently brushed past me, taking away the tears from the corners of my eyes. Then, I was pulled into Lu Jinhuan's embrace. Through the blanket, I could still feel his strong arms hugging me tightly.
"Lu Jinhuan, why are you so nice to me?”I leaned against his chest and asked him with a choked voice.
Actually, he had already given me the answer to this question. If I died, the Lu family would still give him other women. He found it troublesome.
But I still asked. I wanted to hear him say it again to ease my guilt.
How selfish of me.
Lu Jinhuan didn't answer me and just hugged me tightly.
After an unknown period of time, the sound of someone knocking on the door suddenly came from outside. It was mixed with the voice of the middle-aged Taoist priest." Miss Lin, this house is filled with a ghostly aura. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to enter at night. It's better to come back tomorrow during the day."”
Lin Shanshan's resentful voice followed.""No, I must capture that b * tch today.”
When I heard her voice, I was reminded of the scene of her torture. My entire body couldn't help but tremble. I'm afraid that Lin Shanshan will torture me again. I don't want to experience that feeling of living a life worse than death again.
Lu Jinhuan gently caressed my back and comforted me silently. But even so, I still couldn't calm down.
Outside, the middle-aged Taoist priest's voice rang out once again, accompanied by the sound of the door being slammed." We have her glabella blood in our hands. As long as we destroy the blood, she will die in less than seven days. Miss Lin, why do you have to go through so much trouble?"”
"That would be too easy on her. I want her to live, to live a life worse than death!”Lin Shanshan said fiercely.
The door was smashed and her curses could be heard." B * tch, open the door if you have the ability! Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're hiding inside?”
Lu Jinhuan's aura suddenly became colder. He released his embrace and his slender fingers caressed my face. He got up and walked out of the door. After he left the room, the knocking stopped a few seconds later.
Lin Shanshan's voice followed." Who are you? Where's that b * tch Shen Yan?"
"Just in time." Lu Jinhuan's voice was extremely cold, even scarier than when he was angry.
Was he trying to make a move on Lin Shanshan?
But Lin Shanshan brought the Taoist priest with her. I've seen how powerful he is. What if Lu Jinhuan suffers a loss?
I was worried about Lu Jinhuan, so I tried my best to move my limbs. I forced myself out of bed and walked towards the door with difficulty.
Before he reached the door, the sound of fighting could be heard from outside.
I quickly quickened my pace. When I moved to the door and looked out, I saw the middle-aged Taoist priest in the courtyard, holding a peach wood sword and attacking Lu Jinhuan.
Lu Jinhuan reacted quickly and dodged the attack easily.
Meanwhile, Lin Shanshan stood at the door and watched the fight between the man and the ghost in the courtyard.
Suddenly, she cast her gaze at me. Her face was filled with hatred as she gritted her teeth. However, there was a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth. Her appearance was as sinister as it could be.
I held onto the door frame, trembling in fear, not daring to take another step forward.
In the courtyard, the middle-aged Taoist priest was already at a disadvantage. Lu Jinhuan kicked the mahogany sword away from the middle-aged Taoist priest's hand and walked toward him step by step with a gloomy face and a cold killing intent.
The middle-aged Taoist priest took out a stack of talisman papers from his cloth bag and threw them all at Lu Jinhuan. The talisman papers hit Lu Jinhuan's body and made a sizzling sound. Then, they suddenly fell to the ground as if they were soaked in water.
Lu Jinhuan didn't stop. He walked towards the middle-aged Daoist with determination. The middle-aged Daoist took out another talisman and welcomed Lu Jinhuan with a straight face.
Looking at the middle-aged Daoist priest's stance, he was probably going to use his killing move.
My heart was in my throat as I stared at him. I saw him calmly walk in front of Lu Jinhuan and raise the talisman with both hands. Suddenly, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Lu Jinhuan.
On the talisman paper, there were four eye-catching words: Sir System, please spare me.
This sudden reversal made me not know whether to laugh or cry.
You are indeed a Taoist priest. You are so creative in begging for mercy. I admire you!
Lu Jinhuan didn't let the middle-aged Taoist priest go just because he begged for mercy. He grabbed the middle-aged Taoist priest's neck and lifted him up from the ground. He asked coldly,""What about the blood between his eyebrows?"
Lu Jinhuan looked calm, but he was actually furious. Even I could feel the vicious aura he was emitting from the door. It was so strong that it made people tremble.
"But I'm not afraid at all. Everything he's doing now is for me. He's taking revenge for me and taking back the glabella blood for me.
"I, I don't know. I gave it to Miss Lin.”The middle-aged Taoist priest's body trembled as he answered with difficulty.
Lu Jinhuan looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest coldly. He exerted some force in his hand, and the middle-aged Taoist priest's head tilted to one side. It was unknown whether he fainted or died.
He threw the middle-aged Taoist priest on the ground and turned to look at Lin Shanshan, who was standing at the entrance of the old mansion." Blood between your eyebrows."”
