Given the male protagonist's vengeful nature, the merchants will definitely not get away with it.

Jia Xitong just didn't expect that they would suffer even earlier than described in the original novel.

"It's alright, they deserved it."

Jia Xitong leaned over, climbed onto him, and gave him a comforting kiss.

The raccoon puppet had always been well protected. Shang Yanting was covered in the smell of blood, but he could still smell the fragrance of soapberry on the other side.

He recalled that glimpse from before and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time, "System."

"Um?"

"Who exactly are you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the raccoon in front of him let out a scream.

"Tell me how lazy you are! How long has it been since you changed that human skin mask?!"

Jia Xitong's hands gripped the newly removed human skin mask, beneath which lay his flushed face. Leaving the mask on for too long risked disfigurement. No, he was already disfigured!

Large red allergy scars on the forehead, corners of the eyes, and chin, along with numerous small bumps on the face.

Even if he's incredibly handsome, you can't waste his looks like this!

Jia Xitong hurriedly covered his face with a warm cotton cloth, "I've only been gone for a month, how come you have problems everywhere?"

She felt like a mother hen taking care of her rebellious son, and she would have to guard him in the spirit coffin while he cultivated.

Jia Xitong made a plan in her mind, and then searched through her few remaining Susanoo talismans...

"Dear host, where is the high-grade spirit stone bathtub?"

silence.

A prolonged silence.

The raccoon took a step back while clutching the talisman, saying, "Dear host, don't scare me."

"It was left behind in a restricted area for merchants."

hiss!

Jia Xitong gasped.

He managed to destroy such a large spirit stone bathtub, how come he didn't destroy himself?

The raccoon was so angry it was almost losing its fur; who would have thought the male lead would be such a troublemaker?

Shang Yanting stood up. "I'll go get it."

The raccoon looked at him sternly, but seeing his lifeless eyes, it automatically imagined him looking pitiful, and couldn't help but say, "Fine, we've been stuck in the forbidden area for so long, what's another half day?"

She asked the waiter to bring her hot water and spent half an hour scrubbing herself in the bath before she was clean.

Then I watched as he drank two large bowls of old chicken soup, ate half a roast goose, five lychees worth two taels of silver, and a bowl of prepared medicinal soup.

After he lost his sight, Jia Xitong took care of him the whole time.

Shang Yanting had a new hot water bottle again, still so hot it made him flinch. The little raccoon by the bed pulled back the covers and crawled in.

"Let's go to bed early tonight, and we'll go find the spirit stone bathtub first thing tomorrow morning."

The raccoon's chattering voice filled his ears again. Holding it, Shang Yanting felt a peace he hadn't experienced in a month.

"Um."

He responded softly.

The candles inside the room have been extinguished.

The occasional noise from downstairs didn't seem to disturb his sleep.

Jia Xitong heard the rhythmic breathing sounds beside her.

Shang Yanting went to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep.

The premium spirit stone bathtub is gone!

That spendthrift son.

As soon as he fell asleep, Jia Xitong climbed out of bed.

She checked that the door was locked, then climbed out the window. Relying on her memory of the route, she wandered around for quite a while before finally finding the shop.

This place has just been ravaged by blood; there are no living people left but corpses.

The moonlight shone on the corpses, making the vast Shang mansion extremely eerie. Carrion crows perched on withered branches and roof beams, cawing loudly.

Swoosh—

A gust of cold wind blew by, causing the curtain behind her to flutter high, startling Jia Xitong.

"I'm not human, I'm a raccoon. Raccoons don't encounter ghosts."

"I am a raccoon, a puppet raccoon, and raccoons don't encounter ghosts."

"I am a raccoon, the raccoon has a dragon, the raccoon has nothing to fear from ghosts."

She repeated this sentence to herself over and over, then ran quickly toward the restricted area for merchants.

There were even more corpses in the forbidden area.

All the corpses appeared to be fleeing outwards, their faces still bearing the marks of fear.

Jia Xitong gripped the golden dragon scale tightly in her hand, as if the dragon could give her power, and rushed quickly toward the huge, torn rift in the very center.

It was pitch black inside; the moonlight couldn't penetrate at all.

She moved a stone and threw it down; it took at least three seconds to hear a thud.

This hole doesn't look shallow.

According to Shang Yanting's description, the spirit stone was buried at the bottom of the pit. The pit was so deep that most people couldn't even go down there. After confirming that it wouldn't be secretly taken away, she prepared to return.

Just then, a shadow suddenly enveloped her.

Hiss...

The python's growl sent chills down everyone's spine.

She was lifted high by a giant snake tail, and turned to meet a pair of terrifying vertical pupils. "Food!"

Oh my god!

Jia Xitong clenched the golden dragon scales, ready to sleep for another month!

Just then, a figure appeared in the moonlight and twisted the head with vertical pupils 180 degrees.

Oh my god, this is even more terrifying!

When Jia Xitong was picked up, she was so scared that her whole body was trembling, and she kept burrowing into Shang Yanting's arms.

Shang Yanting was already awake when she got out of bed.

They followed her all the way until the monstrous snake opened its blood-red maw to swallow her whole.

"Weren't you very brave just now?"

"Oh my god, that scared me to death!"

A giant snake is one thing, but I've never seen a giant snake with so many tails!

She looks even more terrifying than an octopus; if she weren't just a puppet, she would have been scared to death.
