Chapter 729: Chapter 729: National Demon Sprite (20)

Zhuang Ji woke up on the third day, with the Kid fast asleep by the bedside. Seeing him alright, Zhuang Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

This place is...

The hospital?

Zhuang Ji didn’t understand why he was in the hospital and looked around the room with some confusion.

It was just him and the young master in the ward.

Did the young master get someone to save me?

As Zhuang Ji was puzzling over this, the door to the ward opened, and Yu Su, dressed like a street punk, entered. When their eyes met, a hint of surprise flickered across her face.

”You’re awake. I thought you wouldn’t come round,” she said.

Realizing she might have misspoken, Yu Su hastily corrected herself, ”I didn’t mean that, it’s just that your injuries were very severe...”

Mainly because the boss didn’t stop your bleeding, leading to excessive blood loss, and you nearly didn’t make it.

”Who are you?” A demon?

Yu Su, with no self-awareness of being a demon, cheerily introduced herself: ”Yu Su.”

Although the other party was a demon, there seemed to be no malice.

Zhuang Ji replied politely, ”My name is Zhuang Ji.”

”Yeah, your brother told me about you.”

”He’s not my brother,” Zhuang Ji frowned, ”He’s the young master of my household.”

”Ah?” Yu Su was a bit confused, but didn’t the Kid call you Brother Ji?

Zhuang Ji fell silent, ”Was it you who saved me?”

”Not me.” Yu Su didn’t dare claim credit, ”It was my boss who saved you.”

Although she just asked me to come.

”??”

Zhuang Ji didn’t understand and was about to ask who her boss was when a soft, sweet voice called out to him.

”Brother Ji...”

”Young master.” Zhuang Ji immediately turned towards the Kid.

The Kid’s cheek was red from being pressed against the bed, and now, rubbing his eyes until his vision cleared, he immediately grabbed Zhuang Ji’s hand, ”Brother Ji, are you in pain?”

Zhuang Ji shook his head.

”Brother Ji, I thought you were going to leave me too,” the Kid said, his eyes welling up with tears as he spoke.

Zhuang Ji patted his head, ”There, there, don’t cry. I am fine, aren’t I?”

The Kid wiped away his tears with his pudgy hands, ”I’m not crying, I’m strong.”

”The young master is indeed great.”

As the two talked, Yu Su turned to leave and call Chuzheng, informing her that Zhuang Ji had woken up.

After Yu Su started following Chuzheng, not to mention having a cell phone, she even was driving a car now.

Clinging to the boss’s coattails not only spared her life but also provided her with money to spend. Yu Su decided to hold tight to her boss.

Chuzheng arrived an hour later.

Zhuang Ji learned what had happened after he lost consciousness from the young master.

But seeing Chuzheng, he was still a bit surprised.

”It was you...”

Back at Shanshui Manor, she had chatted with the young master.

Yu Su brought over a chair, and Chuzheng casually sat down with one leg over the other, her demeanor instantly authoritative.

”Where are your adults?” Chuzheng hadn’t seen anyone visit for so many days.

When asked, the Kid only shook his head, remaining silent.

Zhuang Ji fell silent too, ”Only the young master is left in the Zhongli Family. I am the Zhongli Family’s butler. I am grateful to you for your assistance this time...”

”Only you two left in the Zhongli Family?” The two of you, minors in charge of the Monster Tower? Is King’s Account kidding me?

Zhuang Ji nodded.

”...” Chuzheng fell silent too, ”Are you managing the Monster Tower?”

Zhuang Ji’s head snapped up, locking eyes with Chuzheng.

Sitting across from him, her gaze was clear and serene as a moonlit pool rimmed with frost.

Looking into her eyes was like suddenly plunging into icy waters.

A chill spread through his body.

Zhuang Ji could tell Yu Su was a demon, but he couldn’t tell whether Chuzheng was a demon or human.

”I’m sorry, I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Zhuang Ji quickly collected himself, ”Your act of saving me is engraved in my heart, and I will find an opportunity to repay you.”

”Brother Ji...”

”Young Master!” Zhuang Ji covered the Kid’s mouth and looked at Chuzheng and Yu Su, ”I’m sorry, but I would like to rest for a while. Could you please leave?”

”How can you be like this...” Yu Su frowned, ”If it weren’t for our boss using his inner core to save you, you would be a corpse by now.”

Zhuang Ji was stunned.

He had thought Chuzheng just sent him to the hospital.

He hadn’t expected her to use her inner core...

Zhuang Ji was very clear about the value of an inner core.

But...

Zhuang Ji resolutely issued his eviction.

The King’s Account had given a deadline of one month, and Chuzheng guessed that this task would not be easy to complete.

So she wasn’t in a hurry and stood up to leave the ward.

It was only after Chuzheng left that Zhuang Ji released the Kid, whose little face was red from holding his breath.

”Young Master, no one can speak of what happened at the Monster Tower,” he said gravely, clutching the Kid’s shoulders, ”You must remember that.”

The Kid seemed frightened by Zhuang Ji’s seriousness and took a long time to stammer out a response, ”I know.”

Zhuang Ji patted the Kid’s head and looked toward the door, his eyes gradually darkening.

Three days later.

Yu Su placed the Zhongli Family’s files down in front of Chuzheng.

”Boss, the Zhongli Family now really only consists of Zhongli Luo and that one called Zhuang Ji.”

”The Zhongli Family has never been populous, and now there’s only a sole heir and a butler.”

There were no others in the Zhongli Family.

It was just Zhongli Luo and Zhuang Ji living in the empty old mansion.

Chuzheng asked calmly, ”Have they been discharged?”

”Yes. When I went there today, they were gone, but they left you a letter,” Yu Su answered.

Yu Su handed the letter to Chuzheng.

The letter was written by Zhuang Ji, thanking Chuzheng once again and promising to repay her someday for the life-saving grace she had shown him.

Chuzheng set down the letter, thinking, I don’t need your future repayments, just give up the Monster Tower!

Chuzheng was very troubled and had Yu Su go back first.

She sat in the front yard for a while, then went back inside.

As soon as Chuzheng entered the courtyard, she smelled the strong scent of blood.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Looking towards the shrine, Chuzheng saw Xun Yin standing inside the doorway, hands behind his back, looking at her with a somewhat inscrutably cold expression.

Chuzheng searched the overgrown weeds and located the source of the blood scent.

A demon sprite?

Last time it was a human, this time a demon sprite... an accidental intrusion?

After tidying up, Chuzheng returned to her room. Xun Yin lay on the rocking chair playing with his phone, the game’s background music filling the whole room.

Xun Yin was smart and had quickly come to understand the situation outside.

He had gained recognition for some things as well.

And ever since Xun Yin learned to play games... he had become addicted all day long.

Chuzheng tossed the document bag onto the table and braced the sides of the rocking chair, ”Is someone looking for you?”

”Mhm,” replied Xun Yin, fingers swiftly manipulating the character on the phone, smiling back, ”Xiao Yao, you better protect me well. If someone breaks in, I’m doomed for sure.”

”Aren’t you quite formidable?”

Xun Yin put down the phone and lifted a hand, making the chains rattle, ”No matter how formidable I am, I’m still restricted.”

This greatly affected his performance.

So...

Would you release me?

Chuzheng wasn’t falling for that trick and withdrew her hands, walking away, ”Who else is looking for you?”

Xun Yin’s voice, tinged with malice, floated over from behind her, ”Xiao Yao, you should ask those bodies outside about that question.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Try talking to a corpse, dammit!

What kind of bodies were those?

They were in pieces!
