I suspect that the fox is a cold-blooded creature.
This person is having a secret meeting with a goddess while I am locked in my room, without a phone or a computer.
The door won't open, and I can't jump out of the window.
It's really frustrating.
I force myself to count sheep until I fall asleep, drifting in and out of dreams, all filled with Hu Ci's big tail.
In the morning, after shuffling to the bathroom in my slippers to wash up, I sit on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Hu Ci hasn't returned all night.
It's over; he has probably fallen for someone else.
That dog of a man, one moment he was saying he wanted to try things with me, and the next he ran off with someone else.
I let out a sigh and stare blankly at the wall clock.
Suddenly—
I jump up, staring intently at the clock.
It's nine forty-five. I suddenly remember that I had made plans to meet a gaming friend at ten today.
The meeting place just happens to be Hu Ci's villa.
I excitedly paced around the room; this gaming friend of mine... was a bit unusual.
His game ID is Qingfeng Daoist, and he usually acts a bit crazy when we play together, constantly spouting professional jargon that I don't understand.
Thinking back, many skilled characters in TV dramas have a touch of madness.
Whether I can escape today depends on this guy.
What a coincidence.
Just as I was pondering this, a voice faintly called from outside the courtyard: "Vitality Potato Meow?"
...Vitality Potato Meow, my game ID.
I quickly ran to the window and took a glance outside.
Sure enough, there was a man standing at the entrance of the courtyard, estimated to be over 185 cm tall.
As for his face...
I am severely nearsighted and couldn't see it clearly.
"Brother Daoist, can you fly up here?"
I asked tentatively.
The other party seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then laughed.
"Why fly when there's a door?"
Saying this, he directly pushed the door and entered the courtyard, then went inside, and then...
My room door was pushed open.
???
I was dumbfounded.
Was it that Hu Ci's barrier was too weak, or was this Taoist's magic too strong?
I didn't have time to think much about it; this question was quickly cast aside because...
This crazy Qingfeng Daoist from the game was an old acquaintance.
Jiang Yu.
I had once handed him a love letter in my freshman year, only to be publicly rejected by him. His reason for rejection was refreshingly unconventional—
He said that dating would affect his cultivation.
I remember I scolded him at the time, telling him to go off and cultivate to become an immortal immediately. As a result, he dropped out in the second semester of freshman year.
It had been a year since we last met, and he had actually become a cultivator.
Our eyes met, and I swallowed hard.
"You... in the game, why didn't I recognize your voice?"
Jiang Yu tilted his head slightly to look at me, still maintaining his usual reticence.
"I was just going through a voice change at that time."
Huh?
Voice changes only happen in college; do cultivators develop that slowly?
Well, maybe the chosen ones develop a bit later.
Great talents take time to mature, I told myself as a form of consolation.
There was no time for reminiscing. I quickly pulled him toward the bedroom door. "Daoist, break it!"
Jiang Yu tilted his head again. "Break what?"
"Is it a barrier?"
What else could it be?
However, in the next moment, Jiang Yu's words nearly made me spit blood:
"Is there still a barrier here?"
What do you think?
If there wasn't a barrier, I would have run away long ago.
Perhaps seeing my serious expression, Jiang Yu suspiciously walked to the bedroom door and slowly took a step forward—
Goodness.
He was directly flung back.
He flew back into me, forcing me hard against the edge of the bed.
After finally pushing him off me, I was extremely frustrated, "Jiang Yu, did you refuse me back then saying you wanted to cultivate, just to end up like this?"
Jiang Yu pulled me up from the floor, his gaze sincere.
"I am the chief disciple of our Taoist temple."
...What kind of deceptive Taoist temple is this?
Before I could complain, I noticed Jiang Yu's expression change. "He's back."
"Who?"
Jiang Yu glanced at me, his expression complicated.
"Your father."
My father?
I opened my mouth to say that my dad had been dead for ten years, but suddenly remembered what I had said when I was just placed under house arrest by Hu Ci.
Goodness, how would Jiang Yu know what I said to Hu Ci?
There was no time to ask further; I heard footsteps in the corridor outside.
Step by step.
Each footfall felt like it was stepping on my heart.
Listening closely, it seemed like something was being dragged across the floor, and I instantly became tense.
If Hu Ci saw Jiang Yu, how would I explain it?
Would they really get into a fight...?
However, Hu Ci's speed was simply outrageous.
Before I could even think it through, a figure appeared in front of the open door.
Hu Ci.
He was wearing a dark suit; despite being a fox spirit, he looked impeccably dressed. I couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.
Hu Ci shot me a glance, and his gaze landed directly on Jiang Yu.
"Who is he?"
Hmm, Hu Ci's tone... was chillingly cold.
Just as I hesitated whether to come up with a loud name for the Taoist temple to scare Hu Ci, Jiang Yu spoke up first.
"I'm Lin Yi's online one-day boyfriend."
Me: ??
Damn, this guy is useless and so cowardly.
One day boyfriend... I can't believe he thought of that.
Hu Ci raised an eyebrow slightly and shifted his gaze to me, his eyes filled with curiosity.
To avoid dragging the innocent little Taoist into this, I could only nod, "Yes, what I ordered before..."
Hu Ci didn't say anything but beckoned me with his finger, "Come here."
I walked over slowly.
I wasn't being obedient because I was mesmerized by his face; mainly, it was because...
I was timid.
When I reached the doorway, Hu Ci reached out and grabbed my wrist, pulling me in.
I stepped out of the room without a scratch.
Hu Ci took me to the bedroom next door, which was his room. He rarely let me in there.
As he opened the door, I instantly gasped in shock.
There lay a woman on the bed.
A woman whose hands and feet were bound, completely naked, her head turned inward so I couldn't see her face.
It turned out that the person who had just been dragged on the floor was... actually alive.
Hu Ci pushed me from behind, and I stumbled to the edge of the bed. In the next moment, a dagger was thrown at my feet.
The dagger glinted with a chilling light.
I heard Hu Ci's voice behind me, low and cold, "Kill her, and I'll let you go."
My legs felt a bit weak.
What is going on? This life is becoming more and more like a death sentence.
After a moment, I forced out a smile, "Uncle, don't joke around..."
Hu Ci took a step forward.
I swear, he only took one step, yet he instantly appeared right in front of me.
In the next moment, I felt a tightness around my neck.
This person's aura was icy; his gaze was no longer gentle but filled with shadows.
"Lin Yi, choose: kill her or kill yourself."
