As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...
In a luxurious and spacious bathroom, a woman with a beautiful figure and face is taking a bath in the bathtub. She is humming a happy song while lathering herself with bubbles.
"Huh? That's strange, why does it suddenly feel a bit cold?"
As the woman was soaking in the hot water, she suddenly felt the air around her grow cold. Just as she was about to add some hot water, she was startled by the image she saw in the full-length mirror opposite her.
The previously fogged mirror surface was suddenly and eerily wiped clean, revealing a pale, slender hand that appeared out of thin air. The hand slowly rested on the woman's shoulder, then gradually moved up to her neck, and finally behind her ear...
The woman was terrified. She felt that hand was incredibly cold, like an ice pop that had been frozen in a freezer for hundreds of years before being taken out.
She tried to scream in terror, but found that she couldn't make a sound. She tried to escape from the bathtub, but her whole body was paralyzed.
Just as the woman was filled with terror, she seemed to hear a soft laugh, and then she saw a horrifying scene in the mirror!
Long, sharp nails adorned her pale, slender fingers. With a gentle stroke behind her ear, the nails broke the skin, and warm, bright red blood flowed slowly down her snow-white neck and into the bathtub.
At this moment, the woman's eyes were wide open as she stared at the scene in the mirror. Her breathing was rapid, as if she was about to suffocate, but she could not move at all and could only watch helplessly as she was bled out.
After the blood had stained the water in the bathtub, the hand made another move: slowly peeling off the woman's skin bit by bit, along the gap in the skin behind her ear, using its sharp nails.
The women who couldn't move watched as their skin was peeled off, and eventually died in excruciating pain.
Nighttime, by the reservoir.
The moonlight was perfect, and a group of people were discussing how to go into the water or how to lure the fish out. Yue Jiuling held a fishing rod with bait on the hook. Before her colleagues could even come up with a plan, she cast the bait into the water.
"I say, let's try to avoid going into the water if possible. Why don't we try to catch something first?"
Hidden turned around and saw Yue Jiuling's actions. He looked puzzled and asked, "Are you sure this can catch a big fish?"
Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi both laughed. Ye Dongfeng said, "Alright, Jiuling, stop fooling around. Your fishing rod is fine for catching small fish, but it's not good for catching big fish. You should prepare a sack and go catch some fish later."
Mu Xiaoyi also said, "How about this, Yinni and Dongfeng go into the water, and I'll assist them from the side. You and Xinyu don't need to go in."
Bai Xinyu then said, "Okay, we're not going into the water anyway. It's filthy, we're not going in."
Yue Jiuling nodded, holding the fishing rod, and then watched Ye Dongfeng and the other person go into the water.
Little Cabbage didn't come out tonight either; he stayed in the office organizing documents.
Ye Dongfeng slowly waded into the water, holding a sharp dagger in his hand. The dagger was old-fashioned and looked like an antique.
After Ye Dongfeng went down, Yinni followed him down, holding a dark object in his hand. However, the object was so small that it was impossible to tell what it was.
Because they were afraid of being discovered, no one turned on their flashlights, and it was pitch black all around. By the moonlight, they could vaguely see two dark shadows moving on the water. If someone with poor eyesight saw those two shadows, they would definitely be frightened and think they were some kind of ghost.
Yue Jiuling and the others all had good eyesight, and after Ye Dongfeng and the other two dived into the water, they all stared nervously at the surface.
Although the giant catfish was quite weak, unable to even take human form, its master was not to be underestimated. Everyone still vividly remembered the demonic wind that night, so no one dared to relax at this moment.
The water was calm. A gentle breeze blew by, and Yue Jiuling's fishing rod swayed slightly. She was delighted and whispered to Bai Xinyu beside her, "Hey, I think I caught a fish."
Yue Jiuling was about to pull up the fishing rod when suddenly a huge wave surged up in the water, accompanied by a loud "Bang!"
A huge catfish suddenly leaped out of the water and slammed hard onto the shore!
As soon as the big catfish came out, Mu Xiaoyi immediately took out a talisman to stick on it, and asked Bai Xinyu, who was carrying a sack, to come and catch the fish.
Yue Jiuling also threw down her fishing rod to help, and Ye Dongfeng and Yinni followed them ashore after the big catfish came out.
The giant catfish was restrained by Mu Xiaoyi's talisman and had no chance to turn over. It gasped for breath and cursed, "Damn you! You guys are really too awful! How dare you discharge electricity in the water? Aren't you afraid of electrocuting your own people too!"
Hidden walked over and took the towel Yue Jiuling handed him to wipe his face. He chuckled and said, "Heh, since you dare to use electricity in the water, you must have taken precautions. We have water-repelling and electricity-proof talismans."
The water-repelling and electricity-preventing talisman is one of the Mu family's most prized creations. It can help the user avoid all water and electricity for a limited time. This talisman is very powerful, but its use is limited in time.
Ye Dongfeng and his companion knew that the giant catfish hiding inside the barrier wouldn't easily come ashore, and they couldn't stay in the water for too long. So they decided to use the water-repelling and electricity-resistant talisman given to them by Mu Xiaoyi to go down and use electricity to electrocute the giant catfish to come up!
