The middle-aged woman began to pour the Gu worm into Gu Chengfengʼs mouth.

Suddenly, Gu Chengfeng found a burst of strength from somewhere, kicked her away, broke free from the grips of the two servant boys, got up, and ran to the door. He swiftly opened the door and dashed out.

The middle-aged woman clutched her aching abdomen and gritted her teeth, saying, ”This is my territory. Do you think you can escape? Zhao Si!”

At her command, a black-clad expert descended from above and struck Gu Chengfeng to the ground with a single palm strike! Gu Chengfeng felt a pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhao Si then grabbed Gu Chengfeng by the collar, lifting him off the ground, and raised his other hand to smash it into Gu Chengfengʼs face!

This punch would either kill Gu Chengfeng or leave him crippled.

At this critical moment, the door of the main hall on the first floor was suddenly kicked open!

The loud noise startled everyone!

Zhao Siʼs fist paused as he coldly looked towards the first floor, only to see a youth in the uniform of a certain academy standing at the doorway with a frosty expression.

Lightning flashed behind the youth, who was filled with a murderous aura, like an asura emerging from the depths of hell.

”Let him go.” The youth said coldly.

Zhao Si frowned. He admitted being momentarily intimidated by the youth’s aura, but once the youth spoke, he was sure the other party was just a human, not a demon from hell.

He once again aimed his punch at Gu Chengfeng.

The youth flicked his wrist, and a dagger slid from his palm. With a swift motion, he threw it.

Zhao Si couldnʼt even see the daggerʼs trajectory; he only saw a flash of silver light.

The next second, his right hand was pierced, and the dagger, with its tremendous force, nailed his entire hand to the wall!

His body also slammed into the wall, and he involuntarily let go of Gu Chengfeng.

Gu Chengfeng fell to the ground.

Zhao Si gritted his teeth and tried to pull the dagger out.

He couldnʼt budge it!

It was at this moment that he truly realized how strong the youth was!

After exerting a tremendous effort, he finally managed to pull out the dagger and turned to attack the youth. But before he could even stand up, the youth, who had somehow appeared right in front of him, kicked him in the jaw.

With a spinning kick, he sent Zhao Si flying from the second floor. Zhao Si crashed heavily onto a table in the main hall on the first floor, smashing the table into pieces, and he passed out completely.

The middle-aged woman came out just in time to see this scene, and she was utterly shocked.

Who was this youth?

How did he defeat Zhao Si like that?

It was important to know that Zhao Si was a death warrior she had spent a fortune on, and he had never been defeated by any expert before!

”Where did this brat come from, daring to cause trouble in my brothel? Do you know who I am—ah—” Before she could finish, the youth had already walked over, grabbed her by the neck, and slammed her against the wall!

Her back hit the wall hard, and she felt like she might vomit blood.

The youth raised his head, staring at her coldly, ”Who told you to touch him?”

Him?

Which him?

That slave?

”Madam, are you still going to give him the Gu worm... ahh!” The servant girl, holding the bowl, was terrified and froze in place.

”Bring it here.” The youth commanded her.

The servant girl, trembling, walked over with the bowl.

The youth glanced at the middle-aged woman, who was turning purple from lack of breath, and said, ”Feed it to her.”

The servant girl was so frightened that she was about to cry.

Should she feed it or not? Would she die if she didnʼt?

The youth, expressionless, said, ”If you donʼt feed it to her, youʼll have to eat it yourself.”

Steeling herself, the servant girl extended her hand and brought the bowl to her madam’s mouth.

The middle-aged woman quickly turned her head away, ”Hero, spare me, hero, spare me—I didnʼt do it on purpose—I didnʼt know he was your slave—if I had known, I wouldnʼt have dared to take him in even if I had a hundred times the courage—”

”Madam, authorities are coming! They are searching the tavern next door! It seems a slave has escaped from the Han Familyʼs mine!”

The middle-aged woman immediately looked at Gu Chengfeng lying on the ground!

Gu Chengfengʼs body stiffened.

The middle-aged woman suddenly realized, ”He, he, heʼs an escaped slave from the Han Family?”

A flash of murderous intent crossed the youth’s eyes.

The middle-aged woman felt a chill on her forehead!

Indeed, for a moment she had thought that it would be great if the authorities captured them, as it would save her.

But now it seemed that was not the case.

In a panic, the middle-aged woman pleaded, ”Donʼt kill me... I wonʼt say anything... I swear I wonʼt say anything!”

The youth clearly didnʼt believe her.

The youth tapped his foot to flip the dagger on the ground into the air, caught it with a reverse grip, and held it to her neck.

The middle-aged womanʼs face changed dramatically, ”Donʼt kill me! Donʼt kill me! I have a way to help you avoid the authorities! If you kill me, youʼll expose yourselves too! Itʼs not worth it! If you spare me, I promise no one will find him!”

......

A quarter of an hour later, the officers finished searching the tavern and came over.

The main hall had been quickly tidied up and Zhao Si had been taken away, but the door the youth had kicked down hadnʼt been reinstalled yet.

There were six officers in total.

They werenʼt the ones who had fought with Gu Chengfeng earlier; they were a different group.

Moreover, since it was discovered that Gu Chengfeng knew martial arts, the Han Familyʼs mine had sent several skilled Dragon Shadow Guards. Among the six officers, three were Dragon Shadow Guards.

The middle-aged womanʼs surname was Xu, and her name was Fengxian.

She descended the stairs with a flirtatious grace, smiling broadly as she said, ”Oh my, what wind has blown you officers here? Our Tianxiang Pavilion is truly honored tonight!”

The leading officer showed a portrait and asked the middle-aged woman, ”Have you seen this person?”

Xu Fengxian glanced at the portrait and, without changing her expression, smiled, ”Oh, such a handsome young man. Itʼs a pity, but I havenʼt seen him.”

The leading officer asked coldly, ”Are you sure you havenʼt seen him?”

Xu Fengxian replied with a smile, ”We donʼt have anyone like this in Tianxiang Pavilion. If I had seen him, I would have remembered.”

The leading officer ordered, ”Search the place!”

Xu Fengxianʼs face turned pale with shock, ”Hey! What are you doing? Do you know that the third Young Master of the Nangong Family is a distinguished guest of our Tianxiang Pavilion?”

”Humph!” The leading officer snorted disdainfully.

As if the Nangong family could compare to the Han Family!

A few officers went in and searched thoroughly inside and out. Fortunately, business at Tianxiang Pavilion was bad, with few guests present, or the losses tonight would have been significant.

“Sir, we didnʼt find him!”

The officers returned to the main hall to report.

The leading officer showed the portrait to Xu Fengxian again and said, ”If you see this person in the future, remember to report it to the Han Family.”

”Is there a reward?” Xu Fengxian asked.

The leading officer shot her a cold look, and Xu Fengxian shrank her neck, whispering, ”Yes, Iʼll remember.”

The group turned and left.

Xu Fengxian watched them enter the gambling den next door before heading to the woodshed in the backyard. She moved the firewood aside, opened the hidden door on the ground, and said to the two people in the cellar, ”Theyʼve gone!”

Gu Jiao carried Gu Chengfeng upstairs.

Earlier, Xu Fengxian actually had a chance to betray them, but she didnʼt because Gu Jiao told her, ”If you betray me, Iʼll escape and then come back to kill you. You can gamble on whether I can escape or not.”

When the youth said this, his bloodthirsty gaze didnʼt seem human, and Xu Fengxian didnʼt dare to risk her life on that slim chance.

Xu Fengxian arranged for Gu Chengfeng to stay in her own room, not to take advantage of him, but because her room had an escape route and was the safest room in Tianxiang Pavilion.

Gu Jiao placed Gu Chengfeng on the bed and intended to get the first aid kit from the carriage to treat his injuries.

As she turned, a burning hot hand grabbed hers.

There were some things he wouldnʼt usually do, and some words he wouldnʼt usually say.

But his fever was so severe that his mind was muddled, and he couldnʼt differentiate between dignity and decorum.

He held onto her tightly, struggling to open his eyes, his blurry vision fixed on her, and he said in a hoarse and weak voice, ”Did I find you?”

Gu Jiao looked at him and nodded, ”Yes, you found me.”

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, ”Scared?”

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, ”The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?”

Shi Dai replied, ”Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, ”Donʼt abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah.”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasnʼt finished his lines yet though…
