Chapter 197: Chapter 194: Qin Zhao, you smell so good, I really want to eat you up

The next day, Qin Zhao and the others arrived at Sister-in-law Cui Fang’s home.

It could be said that her home was bare; the house was built with green stones, and between the cracks of the external walls, moss had grown.

The most valuable thing in the house was probably a small fridge about half the height of a person.

"Please sit for a while, my home isn’t much, don’t mind it."

Sister-in-law Cui Fang moved a long bench for them, and everyone sat down.

"May I ask if you live alone?"

After surveying the place, Si Xuekai inquired.

Who would have thought that, after asking, Sister-in-law Cui Fang sighed deeply, "Yes."

Only then did they learn that her husband had abandoned her long ago because they were unable to have children despite years of marriage. Consequently, he found new love in the city and never came back.

Thinking of the past, Sister-in-law Cui Fang’s face inadvertently showed traces of sorrow.

"Just a little bit, just a little bit more, and he wouldn’t have left."

She muttered emotionally, losing her composure as she fell into her memories.

"I was about to have a child, it was so hard to finally be blessed with one. But still, it was lost."

Choking on her words, Sister-in-law Cui Fang’s eyes brimmed with tears. She believed that the man left because she couldn’t bear children and thought that if she did, he would stay.

Her weathered face bore the marks of time, filled with the creases of life.

In the dimly lit small house, a woman’s soft sobs could be heard.

The others exchanged looks, their eyes expressing a few traces of sympathy and no further words were spoken.

After a while, once Sister-in-law Cui Fang had stabilized her emotions a bit, Qin Zhao gave her an Evil Exorcism Charm.

"This is an Evil Exorcism Charm. If the monster gets close to you, you put this on it. Not only will it protect you, it will also attack the monster."

"Okay, thank you."

Sister-in-law Cui Fang carefully stored the Evil Exorcism Charm and looked at Qin Zhao, filled with gratitude.

All she could do now was put her hopes in them. Although life was full of suffering, there was an old saying, "It’s better to cling to life than to die," and she still wanted to live.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening, and the moon climbed above the willow tips, full and bright.

Shangguan Qiu hid in the tree by the door, her figure concealed by the dense foliage. Meanwhile, the others hid in the courtyard, which was cluttered with many items, facilitating their concealment.

Xing Changqing lifted his video camera, aimed it at the courtyard, ready to capture the appearance of the monster.

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan hid behind a tall stack of firewood; the space was cramped, and they were forced to press closely together.

Chu Yan stood behind Qin Zhao, looking down slightly, his warm breath trailing across her nape.

Gradually growing warmer, his voice, low and more enticing than the moonlight, said, "Qin Zhao, you smell so good."

"...."

Qin Zhao found herself inexplicably unable to concentrate, her nose filled with his scent, a refreshing aroma with a hint of medicine, quite pleasant—and she wasn’t sure who was actually the more fragrant.

After all, one can’t usually detect their own scent.

Only very close and intimate people can smell that enchanting and bewitching fragrance on each other.

So Chu Yan said again, "I really want to devour you."

Qin Zhao’s mouth twitched, and she replied indifferently, "Don’t be lewd."

"???"

His cool and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of complexity flashing in their depths. He lowered his head and bit her neck, his teeth grinding against her tender skin, maliciously increasing the pressure.

Qin Zhao’s breath hitched, and the hand hanging by her side clenched tightly.

She nearly ground her teeth, "Chu, Yan!"

"Hmm?"

In the cramped space, he knew she couldn’t turn away and wouldn’t make a scene at this moment, lest they alert the monster lurking in the shadows, so he became even bolder.

His tongue licked the bite mark he left on her neck.

Phoenix Eyes grew darker, darker than the night itself, filled with an undeniable urge to dominate.

"You’re dead."

Qin Zhao hissed through clenched teeth and gave him a fierce stomp on the foot.

It hurt a bit, but Chu Yan didn’t care; instead, he chuckled softly.

"He’s here."

Chu Yan suddenly stopped smiling because he saw a huge shadow on the ground.

With the body of a goat with horns, it was that monster!

"Wuu wuu, meeh wuu wuu!"

The monster’s cry came out, sounding like a baby’s wail mixed with several bleats of a sheep, eerily bizarre.

"Ah! Help me!"

Sister-in-law Cui Fang had come out with a washbasin to fetch water, then she saw the reflection on the ground.

"Where do you think you’re running to!"

Outside the door, Shangguan Qiu seemed to have seen something; a golden light flashed, and she had made her move.

"Wait for me here."

Qin Zhao quickly said to Chu Yan, hurriedly going outside.

Once he was outside, Shangguan Qiu and the monster were nowhere to be seen, but not far away a dense yin energy had gathered, and from there came the screams of villagers.

"Ah! There’s a ghost!"

"Run! The ghost is here to take our lives!"

"He just devoured someone, ah run away!"

Qin Zhao’s expression hardened, and he quickly chased after the mass of yin energy.

"Did the monster leave?"

After Qin Zhao and Shangguan Qiu had left one after another, Xing Changqing and Si Xuekai finally dared come out.

Sister-in-law Cui Fang sat on the ground trembling, and they went up to help her stand.

"Don’t worry, they can surely subdue the monster," Si Xuekai consoled her.

She answered with a shiver, "That would be good."

Chu Yan still stood behind the woodpile, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.

He felt as if someone was watching them from the darkness.

His intuition was usually accurate, so he didn’t leave the woodpile and instead carefully observed the rest of the courtyard.

When he saw the shadow cast by the large water jar, Chu Yan’s pupils contracted.

Because on that shadow, he saw small goat horns!

Looking up, he saw behind the large water jar.

The moonlight didn’t reach there, but he could still see a small black shadow. It was very small, like a three or four-year-old child, but it had the head of a goat.

"Oops!"

Sister-in-law Cui Fang had intended to go back inside, but her heart was filled with fear, and she slipped.

She fell to the ground, and the thing behind the large water jar suddenly sprang out, coming to her side, reaching out a hand as if to touch her, seemingly trying to help her up.

"Ah ah ah! A monster!"

Seeing this thing, Sister-in-law Cui Fang, terrified, rolled on the ground.

She quickly pulled out an Evil Exorcism Charm from her bosom and flung it at the thing.

"Kill him quickly! Hurry up!"

Si Xuekai and Xing Changqing were also startled, freezing in place.

But Chu Yan, seeing the monster’s initial gesture of trying to help Sister-in-law Cui Fang, felt something was amiss.

"Indeed, you’re still here!"

A cold laugh came from outside, and Shangguan Qiu suddenly appeared.

She held a copper coin sword in her hand, emanating a dazzling golden glow, and she directly struck at the monster.

The more Chu Yan thought about it, the more things seemed off, and he rushed forward, "Wait a minute!"

"What wait! Kill it now!" Sister-in-law Cui Fang screamed.

In an instant, the little goat’s eyes turned gray as it looked at her, followed by bewilderment and despair. It just wanted to help her, but she wanted to kill it.

That look pierced Chu Yan’s heart because he was all too familiar with this feeling.

That year, he had endured hardships to come to the Imperial City to find Lu Tingming.

What he had encountered was precisely this kind of despair.

His kin did not welcome his arrival; instead, they saw him as a thorn in their side, wishing nothing more than to get rid of him as soon as possible.
