Chapter 137: I'm the one who can save your life

 Chapter 137: I'm the one who can save your life

Qin Ruan walked through the courtyard of the luxurious mansion, her eyes surveying the surrounding environment.

The garden design inside the mansion was exquisite, with an elegant and refined atmosphere.

Next to the pond, a man-made rockery was built with a flowing water source, and its volume matched the space along the edge of the pond. Its shape was low in the front and high in the back, with a changing contour.

Moving forward was an octagonal pavilion, and it was a wonderful thing to sit inside to cool off in this season.

To be honest, Xiao Yunchen's mansion had a good architectural design, with rich and full layers inside, but there were some traces of kitsch in certain places.

Xiao Yunchen had been watching Qin Ruan all along, and the more he thought about it, the more absurd the situation seemed.

A little girl, still claiming to be a master of metaphysics?

Was she kidding him?!

He removed the mask on his face, revealing his handsome and proportionate features with a face that bore the marks of time.

Clearly, his features were gentle, yet his eyes exuded a coldness, and his complexion was impatient and distant.

"Are you really a master?" Xiao Yunchen asked.

Qin Ruan didn't stop walking, nor did she even look at him. Her tone was light and airy as she said, "No, I'm the one who can save your life."

She couldn't be considered a professional master, but her abilities were even more transcendent than those people.

After all, there was only one person in this world who could have a connection with the underworld and summon soul-reaping messengers at any time, and that was her.

"Save my life?" Xiao Yunchen laughed, "Little girl, how old are you? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for saying such things?"

He really didn't take Qin Ruan seriously as a master.

Previously, his impression of her was that she was pretty and impressive.

But now, his bias towards her made Xiao Yunchen's expression increasingly unpleasant.

Over the past six months, he had seen all kinds of masters.

There were monks who pitied the world and sympathized with humanity, Taoists with immortal spirit and elegance, exorcists who acted mysteriously, and even great masters with heavenly appearances. There were also those charlatans who didn't even bother with basic disguises.

He had put up with all of them.

But now, this little girl who didn't seem to have reached adulthood, actually wanted to swagger and cheat in front of him. Wasn't that too disrespectful to him?

After all, he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he had some status and standing.

How come he feels like everyone can act mysterious and godlike in front of him?

Qin Ruan seemed to sense the resentment emanating from Xiao Yunchen and turned around to glance at him.

His indifferent gaze took in Xiao Yunchen's true appearance.

This was just a casual glance.

When Qin Ruan really saw Xiao Yunchen's face, her expression changed drastically, and panic rose in her eyes.

Xiao Yunchen was dressed in a black sports jacket, but he couldn't hide his arrogance.

As a breeze blew by in the night, his slightly drooping black hair was lifted, revealing a full forehead and gentle, handsome features.

If it weren't for the murderous aura between his eyebrows, Xiao Yunchen might have been mistaken for someone cursed with bad luck.

When Qin Ruan noticed the heavy deathly air on his face, she was frightened.

Her golden eyes flashed with coldness and looked straight at Xiao Yunchen.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Yunchen was starting to get nervous.

No matter how he looked at it, Qin Ruan's gaze didn't seem to be directed at a living thing.

Her eyes were terrifying, swirling with a vortex of blackness that threatened to devour anyone who came near.

Xiao Yunchen's back suddenly felt a chill, and he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt like there was something next to him.

He subconsciously wanted to turn around, but Qin Ruan immediately spoke up, "Don't turn around!"

Her tone was stern and dangerous.

Xiao Yunchen, who had turned halfway, stopped moving subconsciously.

Qin Ruan walked up to him, grabbed his sleeve, and quickly went to where Lu Wenbin and Xu Enhao had heard the commotion and stopped.
