Chapter 244: Strange Arrival 11
“I don’t have a protective amulet, but I was born at a rather special time.”
Lu Qingyuan understood the supernatural better than Chu Yian, so his explanation was logical and convincing. “It is said that ghosts are afraid of people born with a ‘Ghostly Fate’ or a ‘Kuaigang Noble Fate’. Perhaps for this reason, I have never encountered such things.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Chu Yian had also heard of this, but she hadn’t remembered it.
She hadn’t expected that a good fate could make the supernatural afraid. “I wish I had such a noble fate too.”
Hearing Chu Yian’s words, Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “What if I have a ‘Ghostly Fate’?”
“That’s fine too.”
No matter what kind of fate it was, any fate that made the supernatural steer clear was a good fate.
As Chu Yian chatted idly with Lu Qingyuan, her earlier tension finally eased. Having Teacher Lu beside her increased her sense of security, and as her nerves relaxed, sleepiness washed over her.
Not long after, the sound of steady breathing came from inside the room.
As for the other person in the room… he had no breath at all.
The supernatural being, even more ferocious than the paper figure, opened his eyes. In the dark room, he could see everything clearly.
He looked at the defenseless little live prey sleeping just a dozen centimeters away from him, a malicious smile appearing at the corner of his lips. Then, he leaned down and enveloped her lips.
His tongue gently pried open her teeth, and he cupped her face, greedily drawing the fluid from her mouth.
Unwilling to devour this little live prey immediately, he decided to savor her first. However, once he acted, a strange, intense desire that had been suppressed for a long time, like a wild beast, threatened to burst out of its cage.
The extremely ferocious supernatural being knew best how to enjoy himself.
He indulged his desires, reaching out to pull the sleeping prey into his arms, kissing her incessantly… On the fifth day of the game, Chu Yian opened her eyes to find that it was already bright.
Feeling another breath on her neck, she tilted her head slightly.
At some point, she had somehow ended up in the same bed as Lu Qingyuan. His head rested against her neck, her left hand was pressed beneath her, and his right hand had even slipped through the hem of her clothes, his palm resting on her skin beneath her clothing.
Their bodies were pressed close, in a posture where Lu Qingyuan was embracing her.
Oh my goodness!
Chu Yian was jolted awake from her sleep.
But the current situation was truly awkward. She froze on the bed, not daring to move. However, the person behind her seemed completely unaware, as something unconsciously brushed against her.
She couldn’t take it anymore and suddenly rolled over.
Due to the abrupt movement, she rolled directly off the bed and landed on the floor with a solid thud.
Lu Qingyuan was awakened by the noise she made and saw Chu Yian sitting on the floor, her eyes glazed over. “Are you alright?”
“N-nothing.”
Chu Yian, barefoot on the floor, saw Lu Qingyuan’s outstretched hand but immediately stood up on her own, even moving two steps away from him.
“Um… I’ll go back to my room to freshen up. Thank you, Teacher Lu, for letting me stay last night.”
After she finished speaking, she made a quick escape, running swiftly.
Lu Qingyuan watched her retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Today, the ferocious supernatural being was in a super good mood.
Today, the unlucky live prey was filled with regret.
Why had she slept so soundly in the latter half of last night?
She didn’t even realize she had rolled into someone else’s bed.
If Lu Qingyuan had woken up a few minutes earlier, he might have thought she was lusting after him.
“Oh, shoot!”
Chu Yian clicked her tongue in annoyance, then washed her face with clear water. “Teacher Lu probably doesn’t know about that awkward situation just now, right?”
After all, when she woke up, she was also wondering whether to pretend to be asleep to get through it.
As long as she didn’t wake up, others would be the ones feeling awkward.
“It’s fine even if he knows.”
“We’re completely innocent, there’s nothing between us.”
“Besides, Teacher Lu has a seven-second memory; in the next round of the game, he won’t even know who I am.”
“I’m not embarrassed. Only someone with a guilty conscience would be embarrassed. It wasn’t my intention to sleep close to him last night; as long as I keep my distance now, it’ll be fine.”
…Chu Yian muttered to herself while looking in the mirror, comforting herself.
However, as she spoke, she suddenly noticed that her mouth shape in the mirror became strange. Just as Chu Yian was staring at herself in the mirror, the person inside suddenly leaned closer to her, revealing an eerie smile.
“Teacher Lu!”
One second Chu Yian was talking about keeping her distance, the next she was eagerly running out to find him.
Damn it, that was too terrifying.
She followed Lu Qingyuan closely, not daring to leave his sight.
Until 11:45 AM.
This was the time when the yang energy was strongest; in ancient times, it also had a resounding name: ‘Wu Shi San Ke’ (the third quarter of the hour of Wu, noon).
Chu Yian had to return to her rental house.
Teacher Lu’s special fate might truly keep the supernatural away, but staying by his side every day wasn’t a solution. Chu Yian felt that her rental house with the Bagua mirror was still her best option. She declined Teacher Lu’s lunch invitation and bravely rushed out.
She ran incredibly fast.
Her heart pounded violently the entire way.
On the road, without Teacher Lu or the protection of the Bagua mirror, her fear reached its peak. Rushing back to the rental house downstairs, her legs felt weak when she saw Zhu Shen, who had already opened the door and was waiting for her return.
So scary, too scary.
For the rest of this round of the game, she would just stay put in the rental house and never go out again.
Chu Yian said she wouldn’t go out, and she didn’t.
Game Day Six, she stayed at home.
Game Day Seven, she stayed at home, looking at the table full of delicious food sent by Lu Qingyuan, while eating the roasted lamb chops made by Zhu Shen.
Meanwhile, Lu Qingyuan was very surprised.
He had inadvertently let his prey, who was within his grasp, get away. But since he had already set his sights on her, could he let this little live prey escape?
At this moment, he had already reached the prey’s floor.
The Bagua mirror hanging on the door was a bit of an eyesore. He could shatter it, but that would expose him. Instead of going in to catch her himself, he had a better way to make her come out on her own.
At this moment, Chu Yian still didn’t know that the great supernatural being had come knocking.
Today was Game Day Seven, and it was time for the treasure box to open again.
Originally, Day Four was also an opening day, but Chu Yian’s luck that day was worse than her foot odor; she drew a toilet plunger. She directly gave that thing to Teacher Lu’s bathroom.
Today, with Zhu Shen by her side, she pulled on Zhu Shen, asking him for a blessing.
“I hope the respected Grandpa Treasure Box can give me a treasure that can ward off the supernatural,” she wished, then reached her hand into the glittering treasure box.
[A protective amulet blessed by a high monk]
[Note: This will be retrieved after this round of the game.]
[Good Item’s Inner Thoughts: Although Grandpa finds you quite pleasing today, do you think your Grandpa Treasure Box is a wishing tree? You want to fight back against the supernatural? When you see it, the only thing you should do is run faster. The protective amulet will wear down when attacked. The greater the wear and tear, the weaker the protective effect.]
A Bagua mirror at the door, a protective amulet on her person.
With double insurance, Chu Yian felt that this was not bad. Even before going to bed, she specifically touched the protective amulet hanging on her chest, feeling completely secure.
At night, the time of encountering the supernatural.
A black mist, condensed from yin energy, quietly enveloped this entire floor…
