Hu Ci had immense strength, and I instantly felt a difficulty in breathing.
The intense feeling of suffocation brought endless fear.
I, being such a coward, immediately gave in, "Alright..."
He released his grip.
I slumped to the ground, gasping for air, while Hu Ci stood in front of me, looking down at me from above.
This person seemed completely different from the past.
Hu Ci bent down, and I immediately tensed up in fear, but he did not harm me again; he simply picked up the dagger from the ground and placed it in my hand.
"Go."
His voice was cold.
I trembled as I walked forward, but suddenly Hu Ci's voice came again from behind me, "Don't look at her face."
Well... It was better that he didn't say anything; once he did, my damned curiosity surged at this moment.
Of course, I didn't dare to turn her head. From my angle, I could only vaguely see her profile.
Strange...
Why did it feel so familiar?
Just as I was curious, someone suddenly grasped my hand that held the dagger, their palm warm.
Before I realized what was happening, the person gripped my hand tightly—
The dagger plunged deep into the woman's lower abdomen.
"Ah!!"
The scream was mine.
The woman seemed to feel no pain at all, only her body trembled slightly.
Strangely, the dagger appeared to have a strong pulling force, as if it was drawing and devouring my very soul from within.
I wanted to let go, but my fingers were tightly gripping the dagger, unable to release it no matter what.
It felt as if my soul was being consumed, and I began to feel dizzy.
Could it be that Hu Ci wants to kill me?
I thought wildly, but in the haze of my mind, I collapsed onto the woman, my palm touching her body, which was icy cold.
And then I saw her face.
At that moment, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning.
It was... me!
The woman who was bound had a face that looked exactly like mine!
This feeling is strange.
I personally... killed a woman who has the same face as mine.
I stared at her, my mind blank.
I was incredibly nervous, yet my head felt heavy and dazed.
At the moment I was about to collapse, someone caught me.
A familiar scent enveloped me.
It was Hu Ci.
I seemed to hear his sigh, soft and gentle, and then I felt him pick me up horizontally and turn to leave the room.
In my daze, I sensed that he brought me back to the bedroom we had just been in and took Jiang Yu away.
When I opened my eyes again, not knowing how long I had slept, I found that only Jiang Yu and I were in the room, and he...
Was preparing to break Hu Ci's barrier.
I lay on the bed, watching him easily break Hu Ci's barrier, then he glanced back at me before turning to leave.
Of course, at the moment he turned back, I quietly closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, the doorway was empty.
My body seemed to have recovered a bit, and I propped myself up to sit on the edge of the bed.
So, Jiang Yu being thrown back by the barrier earlier... was all an act?
What a clever ruse.
I forced myself to get out of bed, slipped on my slippers, and walked to the door, tentatively raising my hand to touch...
The doorway was completely empty; my hand reached out without any obstruction.
It seems the barrier really has been broken.
Letting out a sigh of relief, I ignored my dizziness and hurried downstairs.
I admit that I like Hu Ci, but my life is more important. I can't just foolishly wait around for death because of my feelings.
Moreover, that woman who looked exactly like me felt extremely eerie.
Hu Ci has always disliked strangers, which is why there have never been any maids in the villa; he cleans it himself. With the barrier gone, I ran out without any hindrance.
However, escaping the villa was easy, but leaving was another matter.
The garage was empty; Hu Ci usually only had two cars, and neither was there at the moment.
And this villa in the mountains is in a remote location; trying to get a taxi is nearly impossible.
Jiang Yu had disappeared again, and with no other options, I could only walk along the road.
However, after walking for a short while, I suddenly heard someone seemingly calling my name from the woods on the right side of the road.
"Lin Yi..."
The voice was ethereal and hollow, yet carried a seductive undertone.
It felt as if the voice had some kind of magic; my already unclear thoughts became even more chaotic, and my head grew heavier.
I turned to look at the woods by the roadside, and as if under a spell, I turned around and walked straight in.
That voice continued to call me, "Lin Yi..."
"Lin Yi, come here."
I slowly walked into the woods.
Waiting for me were two unfamiliar women.
Dressed lightly and with alluring figures, both had extremely captivating appearances, their flirtatious glances and every smile quite enticing.
The woman in front beckoned me with her finger, "Lin Yi, come here."
So I really walked over.
She smiled, her snow-white fingers climbing onto my shoulder.
"Are you the woman who haunts Hu Ci's dreams?"
As she spoke, she scanned me from head to toe, her eyes sparkling with laughter but hiding a fleeting glint of murderous intent.
"Tsk, Hu Ci really has poor taste this time."
With that, her hand, which had been resting on my shoulder, suddenly transformed into a claw, tightening around my neck.
For a moment, the beautiful face in front of me morphed into that of a fox.
My breath quickened.
Facing death, I surprisingly still had the presence of mind to grumble—another fox; do all Fox Demons like to choke people?
The woman smiled seductively, her grip growing stronger.
I could even feel the sharp pain of her nails digging into my skin.
But I didn't die.
Jiang Yu saved me.
This person had indeed been playing the part of a pig to eat the tiger; just as I was about to suffocate, he descended from the sky, performing a heroic rescue.
I was shielded behind Jiang Yu, covering my head as I watched them fight.
Then—
I was pulled into someone's embrace, a familiar scent lingering in my nose.
"Lin Yi, do you want to die?"
I turned around, and Hu Ci had his arms wrapped around my waist, his brow furrowed tightly.
He didn't even glance at the three people fighting over there; instead, he turned and took me back to the villa.
We entered the courtyard and went upstairs.
He maintained a cold expression, not saying a word.
Dragging me into the bedroom, Hu Ci threw me onto the bed and then leaned over to look at me.
One hand slowly caressed my face but suddenly tightened, gripping my chin firmly.
"Lin Yi."
He called my name in a low voice, clearly genuinely angry.
"I told you to stay at home and wait for me obediently. Didn't I say you weren't allowed to run outside?"
I suddenly caught a faint smell of blood.
Very faint.
I averted my gaze and saw a wound on his chest. With his movements, the blood gradually soaked through his clothes.
I frowned. "Hu Ci, you're hurt."
He was taken aback for a moment, and the grip of his fingers on my chin suddenly loosened a bit.
Our eyes met, and he smiled.
"Lin Yi, you don't really like me, do you?"
This inexplicable question left me momentarily stunned. Looking at the face in front of me, my mind went blank, and the words almost slipped out.
"Then what about you? You're so nervous around me; you must have fallen in love with me, right?"
In truth, I was just too anxious and speaking nonsense.
But Hu Ci's expression changed.
Having been taken in by him at the age of thirteen and spending seven years together, this was the first time I saw a look of nervousness in his eyes.
He fell silent, then straightened up and denied it with a heavy tone:
"You’re overthinking."
