Chapter 286: A Fortunate Bloodline Inheritance, with a Guardian Spirit
Boss Li panicked upon hearing the words, "Master Wu, what about the price we agreed upon earlier?"
"Kekeke," Master Wu let out a sinister chuckle.
Soon after, he spoke with a vicious tone, "It's fine if you don't give it to me, I'll make sure your family is ruined!"
Boss Li was at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, he forced a laugh and said, "I'll give it to you. Master Wu, if you can kill Rong Changting for me, I'll give you ten times the commission!"
"Deal!" Master Wu's sleazy face showed a satisfied smile.
As long as he had enough money, he could spend a huge amount to cultivate a weapon with more lethal power than a human-faced snake.
Boss Li's attitude became more firm than before, "Master Wu, my bidding will begin soon. Give me your word, when can you kill Rong Changting for me?"
Master Wu's sinister gaze fell on the mess of items on the table in front of him, and he slowly said, "Send the money over, and I'll kill him tonight! Next, I'll personally meet the people around him to see who killed my human-faced snake and broke my formation. I'll kill him, strip his skin, and break his bones!"
Boss Li was intimidated by the hate in his voice. Even the microphone of his phone couldn't cover up his nervous swallowing.
He trembled as he asked, "Are you sure Rong Changting will definitely die?"
Master Wu's tone was cold, "Are you doubting me?"
"No, no, no... I just want to be prepared for after his death. I've been looking forward to this day for too long."
"I've never failed in all these years. You'll definitely get news of his death before dawn!"
"Alright, alright... Master Wu, you have great power, I believe you will succeed."
"Hmph!" Master Wu snorted, hung up the phone, and walked over to the dirty, cluttered closet.
He took out a large jar the size of a child.
Looking at the jar in front of him, Master Wu's eyes gleamed, "I'm going to kill tonight! They're all going to die for me!"
An eerie, sinister, and bloodthirsty voice echoed in the quiet room.
The tone of this is eerie and unsettling.
...
Qin Ruan still didn't know that she was being watched by someone.
When Rong Changting woke up, he saw a dirty, three-tailed gray fox covered in blood.
Upon seeing it, Rong Changting no longer maintained his atheistic attitude that he had when he first met Qin Ruan.
"Thee-thee-thee--" the three-tailed gray fox called out to Rong Changting and swished its tail.
It approached Rong Changting cautiously and gently licked his wrist.
Rong Changting pursed his dry lips and spoke in a hoarse and tired voice.
"Thank you."
He remembered everything that had happened before, even though he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. Those images were all swirling in his mind. He was like an observer, clearly seeing the ugly faces of those snake-faced people.
When death was looming, it was the gray fox in front of him that saved him. If it weren't for it, he would have gone to the underworld a long time ago.
The three-tailed fox seemed exhausted, and after expressing its affection to Rong Changting, it slowly disappeared from the table.
"Little fox?!" Rong Changting panicked, ignoring his own weakened body, leaning forward and groping on the table with both hands.
His pale face was full of anxiety, and his hands were shaking slightly.
Qin Ruan spoke up to explain for the guardian spirit of the three-tailed gray fox. "It is not lightly injured and has gone to rest."
Looking at the girl he had met for the second time, Rong Changting's face was full of fear and confusion, with a hint of confusion.
He asked softly, "Why did it save me?"
Qin Ruan pursed her lips. "It is the guardian spirit of your Rong family. It only appears in the great families that are protected by one of the six realms, in the unique bloodline inheritance, and in the case of family bloodline decline or abandonment by the heavens. Only those who are able to support it can keep it around."
"As for why it appeared by your side, I don't know. Perhaps your bloodline has some superiority."
Rong Changting was surprised and shocked to hear this, then his face showed understanding.
Qin Ruan didn't explore his identity and instead mentioned Rong Jing.
"Since you're awake, go out and see your son. He risked his life to go to the Ghost Gate for you."
"Where is he?!" Rong Changting stood up immediately upon hearing that his son had been in danger.
He got up too quickly and his weak body almost collapsed, but he managed to hold onto the table, avoiding embarrassment.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ruan sighed and went up to help him.
"He's outside, let's go."
The two of them stepped on the ashes of the snake-faced people and walked towards the door.
Rong Changting naturally knew how they had died.
Stepping on the ashes of these terrifying monsters made his heart beat faster.
The ugly appearance and fierce nature of the snake-faced people had been haunting him.
Not to mention the strong smell of decaying flesh in the air, which reminded him of those dense black figures.
The feeling of being tightly wrapped around by the snake-faced people is still unforgettable.
Rong Changting shook his head vigorously, trying not to think about those horrifying memories. Instead, he focused all his attention on worrying about his son outside.
The bedroom door opened and Huo Chuan immediately appeared.
"My lady!"
Seeing his worried expression, Qin Ruan smiled to reassure him. "I'm fine."
Huo Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside to allow her and Rong Changting to walk out.
"Dad!"
Rong Jing's hoarse and sorrowful voice rang out.
He had already cleaned himself up and removed the filthy and bloody smell from the snake-faced people's body, as well as the stench of decayed organs.
However, his face was still too pale, indicating that he had been frightened.
Rong Jing rushed over and tightly hugged Rong Changting, crying so hard that it was heartbreaking.
The mournful cry of someone who had narrowly escaped death could make people feel his fear and apprehension.
Rong Changting had not been hugged by his son for many years. Suddenly being hugged by Rong Jing, his pale face was momentarily bewildered.
After a while, he comforted him in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay. What kind of man cries like this? You have no masculinity at all."
Rong Changting's voice was gentle, but still carried a hint of reproach. Compared to the past, however, this remark was much gentler.
"I was scared to death!"
Rong Jing cried with tears and snot streaming down his face. He had lost the urge to drink and revel with women outside.
In this moment, he had reverted to his childish nature. But as a young man in his early twenties, this experience had naturally greatly changed his character.
Rong Changting also felt his son's attachment to him and wanted to reach out and hug him, but his body was weak.
If it hadn't been for Qin Ruan supporting him on the side, he would have fallen to the ground when Rong Jing rushed over.
Qin Ruan interrupted the tender moment between father and son, "You two should take a break for now. The matter hasn't been completely resolved yet, so hurry up and prepare. We may have a tough battle tonight."
Rong Jing lay in Rong Changting's arms and looked at the mess in the bedroom. The strange black shadows inside had disappeared.
He turned pale again and asked, "Hasn't it been resolved?"
"It's not that easy," Qin Ruan replied impatiently.
Just now, she had hit the watch on Rong Changting's wrist, causing the person who was secretly casting a spell to suffer a backlash.
With the cruel and vicious methods of someone who wanted to kill Rong Changting, there was likely more to come.
Qin Ruan looked at Rong Jing, "Your father's health is weak, so support him. I'll check to see if there are any other things that shouldn't exist in your house."
If someone could tamper with the watch on Rong Changting's wrist, there might be problems elsewhere.
She needed to investigate thoroughly to feel at ease in dealing with the upcoming tactics.
The battles between people may be even more dangerous than facing puppets, so she had to be careful.
Rong Jing took over her father from Qin Ruan's hands and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Yes, someone tampered with your father's watch. He almost choked himself just now inside the house."
"Who gave him the watch?"
The first sentence was Qin Ruan's explanation to Rong Jing, and the latter was asking Rong Changting.
Rong Changting looked embarrassed and uneasy, saying, "It was a gift from a lover."
Qin Ruan remained calm and expressionless, nodding to show that she understood.
"Mr. Rong, you'd better investigate who bought off your lover. Do you remember your first car accident?"
"I remember." Rong Changting nodded.
"That wasn't an accident. The person who hit you was paid to do so. What was the purpose? With today's events, I'm sure you understand."
"Someone wants to kill me?"
Qin Ruan's lips twitched, her eyes showing no trace of humor. "Isn't that obvious?"
Rong Changting's eyes sharpened as he searched his enemies in the business world, finally locking onto a few people.
Qin Ruan had no time to waste and turned to leave, her beautiful eyes scanning her surroundings.
Huo Chuan followed closely behind her.
Rong Jing watched their figures go down the stairs and said, "Dad, let's go and see too."
There was a hint of fear in his tone after being startled.
How could Rong Changting not understand his son? "Are you afraid?"
"Yes."
Rong Jing did not argue; he was really afraid.
He was afraid that those shadows or people-snakes would appear again from the dark and swallow him and his father whole.
He never wanted to experience the fear of being swallowed by a blood-stained giant mouth again.
"You go ahead. I can't handle it physically."
Rong Changting was seriously injured and couldn't even walk.
Even if he wanted to go downstairs, he had insufficient strength.
Rong Jing didn't hesitate and said, "Then I'll stay with you."
Rong Changting stared at him in surprise, his face pale with a faint smile: "Help me to your room, my legs are weak."
"Okay."
The father and son slowly moved their feet and left the battlefield behind them.
Everything that happened tonight will be remembered by them for the rest of their lives.
There are some things that you can only believe in when you experience them yourself.
Downstairs.
Qin Ruan stood in front of the display cabinet, staring at the blue-and-white porcelain bottle at the bottom. Her eyes gleamed with a hint of doubt.
The pattern on the blue-and-white porcelain bottle was strange, and it contained a faint evil spirit. It didn't have much killing power, but if you lived with it for a long time, your body would definitely be affected.
Qin Ruan pointed to the blue-and-white porcelain bottle and said to Huo Chuan behind her: "Smash it."
"Yes, madam."
Huo Chuan looked around and saw a baseball bat in the corner of the display cabinet. He walked over and picked it up.
End of chapter.
