Chapter 256 Chase

When the lights were on in the house, the glass windows were pitch black, and unless you looked out from the glass, you couldn't see what was happening outside.

"Ma Shu" stood straight in front of the window and heard two knocks on the glass.

She reached out and opened the window. A dark figure outside the door immediately crawled in along the window sill and fell to the ground. It was a woman wearing the same red toast dress as "Ma Shu". Her long hair was tied up with a golden tasseled pearl hairpin, and her face was flesh-colored... The flesh-colored face flowed like a non-Newtonian fluid under the light, and then slowly turned into the same appearance as "Ma Shu" in front of her.

Bai Yu examined her appearance in the dressing mirror and waved to "Ma Shu". "Ma Shu" walked towards the closet on the other side and curled herself up and quietly stuffed herself into the closet.

The closet was not far from the bathroom where Fang Yuanwang was. Fang Yuanwang heard footsteps approaching step by step, and then the closet door was opened, and the footsteps disappeared completely. He couldn't help but cover his chest, where his heart was beating violently: "Shushu, what's wrong?"

Bai Yu: "Get something."

This voice came from far away.

If it weren't for the talisman that Qi Gu left on his heart, Fang Yuanwang would not have noticed the abnormality of "Ma Shu". Naturally, he would not have paid attention to the footsteps outside while taking a bath, and would not have discovered this subtle detail.

But at this moment, doubts have arisen, and Fang Yuanwang couldn't help but wonder... Who was it that opened the closet just now, and who is talking to him now?

Thinking of this, the hairs on my body stood on end.

Is it Bai Yu? How is Shushu outside?

Fang Yuanwang's worry about Ma Shu exceeded his fear of Bai Yu. He sprinkled some water on his wrists and ankles, wet his hair, pretending to have finished washing, then put on a bathrobe, took a deep breath, and pushed open the bathroom door.

Bai Yu looked at him and smiled gently.

Seeing the familiar expression, Fang Yuanwang subconsciously walked towards her. The two met in front of the bed. Bai Yu's slender fingertips quickly placed on Fang Yuanwang's shoulders and then groped down to his chest and heart. She smiled and said softly: "Yuanwang... do I look good?"

She reached her fingertips into the bathrobe and pulled Fang Yuanwang's collar open a little. The next moment, she saw the red talisman painted with cinnabar on Fang Yuanwang's chest. Bai Yu's face changed drastically, and all her tenderness and affection disappeared. "I have planned so much, but you still found out. In this case, I won't pretend anymore. Just follow me honestly."

She grabbed Fang Yuanwang's shoulders. Her seemingly frail figure was as strong as a thousand pounds. In an instant, she pinned the adult man Fang Yuanwang down and made him unable to move.

Fang Yuanwang turned his head to look at her, struggling hard: "Where did you take the real Ma Shu!"

"Ma Shu? Hahahaha——" Bai Yu was amused, "You don't think that the one who has been in love with you for the past few months is really Ma Shu, right?"

Fang Yuanwang was shocked and didn't even have time to think about it. Bai Yu dragged him towards the dark window. At the same time, the sound of room card opening the door came from outside. Qi Gu and his group pushed the door open with force, and saw Bai Yu holding Fang Yuanwang only one or two meters away from the open window. The cold night air poured in from the window.

Bai Yu gave Qi Gu a provocative smile and jumped towards the window.

The next moment, she and Fang Yuanwang collided with a transparent barrier and were bounced back into the room by the barrier, where they were surrounded by Qi Gu and five other people.

Since they already knew the location of the battle, Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi had already set up barriers all over the bridal chamber to prevent Bai Yu from escaping.

Bai Yu's ability in direct combat was not strong. Now that he was trapped in the shallows, he immediately loosened his hand that was tightly clasping Fang Yuanwang's shoulder, and then said, "We are all old acquaintances in Huaishui Village. Why are we so tense?"

Qi Gu was too lazy to say a word to people he didn't like. He just coldly condensed his spiritual power to draw a talisman. The golden rune quickly stagnated in mid-air. Seeing that only the last stroke was left to complete it, Bai Yu, who had been begging for mercy just now, suddenly raised his mouth and revealed a disdainful smile. The next second, there was a muffled sound, and a puppet replaced Bai Yu's original position and fell on the carpet.

"Puppetry again?" Miao Yue's expression changed.

Lin Hanzhi said: "It is indeed me who came this time."

Qi Gu: "It should be a spell similar to replacement. Bai Yu is cunning and has set up a puppet that can swap places with him. This spell requires a lot of preparation and it can't be done in one go... But the range of this kind of spell won't be too far. The puppet's hiding place, which is where Bai Yu is now, is no more than one kilometer away."

Phubugesang's face drooped. "This is a downtown area. There are many high-rise buildings and old houses that have not been demolished within one kilometer. It will be difficult for us to find her no matter where she hides."

The corners of Qi Gu's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes fell on Fang Yuanwang's already clean and white chest.

Qi Gu looked at Fang Yuanwang and said, "The real Ma Shu should still be in the room. Teacher Fang, do you have any clues?"

Fang Yuanwang subconsciously looked towards the wardrobe.

Miao Yue walked over quickly and opened the closet door. As expected, she saw Ma Shu lying in the closet with her head tilted, looking unconscious.

Miao Yue quickly checked her soul, "Brother Qi, Bai Yu has already escaped from this body, and now only the real Ma Shu is left inside."

Qi Gu stretched out his hand and left a rune on Ma Shu's forehead to stabilize her soul and prevent her from being disturbed by wandering souls. Then he said to the others, "Let's go, follow me to chase Bai Yu."

Although everyone was wondering how to catch up, they still trusted Qi Gu unconditionally and followed quickly.

In the dark night, in a narrow alley, Bai Yu, who was wearing a red wedding gown, had her clothes disheveled and her hair loosened as she ran. She ran towards the place where there were the most people nearby, ready to possess another person to hide herself. With this thought in mind, Bai Yu stretched out her hand to prepare in advance, but saw a vermilion talisman printed on her palm.

This should be some kind of tracking talisman. Because she had been holding Fang Yuanwang's shoulders and had been in contact with Fang Yuanwang for a long time, it moved from Fang Yuanwang's chest to the palm of her hand, she thought.

She gathered black energy on her other hand and pressed it towards the red talisman on her left hand, trying to dissolve it, but after one attempt, the talisman was still there.

Without any hesitation, Bai Yu squatted down and placed his palm on the rough asphalt road surface. He rubbed it hard, and the skin on his palm immediately began to bleed profusely. A layer of flesh was actually rubbed off, and the talisman naturally disappeared.

After doing this, Bai Yu did not stop at all, and continued to run towards his destination with a pale face.

The stars are sparse and the moon is bright tonight. A light golden arrow floats in front of Qi Gu's eyes, guiding him in the direction of Bai Yu. However, when he is only a hundred meters away from Bai Yu, the arrow trembles slightly in the air and then disappears without a trace.

"Bai Yu found my tracking symbol." Qi Gu said.
