Chapter 499: Chapter 498: Can’t Escape

As soon as Luo Ning spoke, not only did Mr. Liu’s face change, but the old lady and others reacted similarly.

Cousin Xi Shu’s eyes widened, "What? My girlfriend was already dead? How is that possible?"

That woman clearly had a normal body temperature, could laugh and talk, and was quite unrestrained in bed - there’s no way she could be dead.

Luo Ning said, "Because you all hired this master who controlled her body. She was cursed, and a Gu worm sustained her for seven days, so she could live like a normal person."

She asked, "Wasn’t it that after being with you for seven days, she died accidentally when you pushed her?"

"And she bled from seven orifices," she added.

Cousin Xi Shu thought carefully, he and the woman had met online and even had an online romance.

After exchanging photos and finding each other attractive, they agreed to meet in real life.

The woman said she liked him very much and took the initiative to come to him.

He took his girlfriend out around town, carefully counting the days, and it really was exactly seven days.

That day, his girlfriend suggested going hiking, and being in the heat of passion, he naturally didn’t refuse.

However, during the hike, his girlfriend received a call from another man, which sounded rather flirtatious.

Angry, he confronted her, and they started arguing, and she even pushed him.

He pushed back, and unexpectedly, she slipped and tumbled down the slope.

The slope wasn’t very high; he didn’t think much of it at first, but noticed his girlfriend didn’t get up after falling.

He ran down to check and discovered, upon turning her over, that she was breathless, and true to this woman’s words, blood oozed from her pores.

He was terrified at the time. The mountain wasn’t a tourist spot, rarely visited by people.

So, he dragged her to a more secluded grassy patch, buried her deep, and covered the grave with more grass.

Returning home, he was very anxious at first, but her family never came looking.

Gradually, he grew less afraid, ready to claim they had argued and she had run off if they ever did come.

However, a week later, he began developing red spots on his body that not only didn’t stop but also started ulcerating.

The hospital diagnosed him with some new type of skin disease, incurable.

Then he started having nightmares at night and suspected the strange disease might be related to killing his girlfriend.

His grandma had heard about a potent master arriving in town, so they invited him to have a look.

The master immediately saw he was carrying the weight of a human life and said his strange disease was caused by clinging resentment.

His family begged the master to save him, and the master said they needed a female family member who was unmarried to appease the resentment and even provided a specific birth time range for them to search.

It just so happened that Wuniu and Xi Shu were born during this time, so they not only detained Wuniu, Grandma also schemed to trick cousin Xi Shu to come back.

But what they hadn’t expected was that it was this old man’s trickery all along.

Unable to hold back, he looked at Mr. Liu, "Is what she said true?"

Mr. Liu was also surprised, having not anticipated that Luo Ning could see through it all.

Now that things had come to this, he had nothing to hide, "Indeed, that’s true."

"Ugh!" Cousin Xi Shu couldn’t hold back and turned to vomit violently.

The idea of being intimate with someone dead for seven days was unbearably chilling and revolting to him.

It even made all his skin crawl.

The old lady and the others couldn’t help but shudder as well.

The old lady wanted to rush up and hit Mr. Liu, "You old devil, why did you have to be so cruel to harm my grandson, I’m done with you."

She hadn’t pounced on Mr. Liu yet when a centipede, taller than a human, suddenly burrowed out of the ground and blocked her way.

"Ah!" The old lady almost peed herself, her legs going weak as she collapsed to the ground.

Mr. Liu snorted coldly, "That’s also due to the evil thoughts in your own hearts."

"And you should blame her."

Mr. Liu pointed at Luo Ning and continued, "I have a feud with her, and your granddaughter is not only her subordinate but also her best friend."

"I was planning to kill your granddaughter first, then cast a spell to make her live for seven days, go to Luo Ning’s side, and then kill her."

"Unfortunately, this wretched girl rushed over," he said with regret.

His words surprised everyone present; nobody expected him to be so cruel and heartless to the point of involving the innocent in such a wicked way.

Luo Ning had already guessed as much, "Doing such a thing isn’t just for revenge, right?"

She then asked, "The International Black Alliance has already been eradicated, you must be one of the lucky ones who escaped. Who else is behind you?"

Mr. Liu was momentarily stunned, then his eyes flashed, "I came to seek revenge from you, there’s no one behind me."

"Not only did you harm the Liu Family, but your family also destroyed the International Black Alliance, our grievances are significant," he snorted again.

Luo Ning could tell he wasn’t telling the whole truth. While revenge was true, there was also a concealment of truth.

She narrowed her eyes, "Since that’s the case, then you should stay at the special department."

Mr. Liu couldn’t die yet; first, they had to see if they could pry his mouth open at the special department to find out who else was behind him.

Mr. Liu snorted again, "You have to catch me first, and I’m not as weak as I was before."

Then he overturned the table with dog blood and talismans, throwing everything at Luo Ning.

Unexpectedly, while he seemed ready for a tough battle, he turned and ran.

Luo Ning dodged the dog blood and waved away the talismans.

The centipede also attacked her.

Luo Ning pulled out the Yin Evil Dagger and engaged in a fight with the centipede, summoning the evil spirit from the dagger.

She quickly killed the centipede and tossed it aside.

However, she didn’t chase after Mr. Liu.

Huo Ye couldn’t help but ask, "Are we just letting him run like that?"

Such an evil Fengshui master, if let go, who knows how many more people he might harm in the future.

Luo Ning replied calmly, "He won’t be able to run away."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a huge shadow enveloped the courtyard, startling everyone.

Then, an unconscious Mr. Liu was thrown into the courtyard, everyone looked towards the shadow and saw a huge two-headed snake overhead, its eyes cold.

The old lady and others were scared to pee this time, screaming incessantly, "Ah, ah, help!"

Not just the old lady and others, even the Huo brothers were taken aback.

They had never seen such a huge snake, let alone a two-headed one.

Luo Ning, however, revealed a smile and took out two pills from her bag and threw them to the Snake King, "Well done."

The Snake King, pleased, ate the two pills and suddenly shrank to the length of a chopstick, then jumped onto Luo Ning’s wrist to coil around it.

The old lady and others, who had previously hated Luo Ning to death, now looked at her as if she were the Devil, each swallowing hard and trembling.

Cousin Xi Shu’s aunt, shaking, had a sudden thought and tugged the old lady’s arm, then pointed towards Xi Shu resting at a nearby flowerbed.

The old lady’s eyes brightened, "Yes, this Luo Ning is Xi Shu’s friend."

They didn’t need to fear; looking at Luo Ning who was quite capable, perhaps she could even resolve some grievances for her grandson.
