Hu Chichi's eyes narrowed slightly as he changed the subject: "Then tell me first, how did you earn this billion?"
Su Yuxi pondered for a moment and slowly recounted what happened: "That year, when I went down the mountain, I saved a man. Later, he kept chasing after me and insisted on repaying me with his body."
"I was annoyed, so I agreed to be his girlfriend because he had money."
“He is usually very generous to me. He has given me a lot of money and jewelry, which I have saved up little by little. I usually stay at home to cook for him and make soup, and sometimes I take him out to play. That’s pretty much it.”
Hu Chichi felt a mix of emotions after hearing this, unsure whether to laugh or cry. As an ordinary person, she was a good girlfriend, but as a fairy, it was truly shameful.
But when it comes to my own daughter, I feel fortunate. It's good that she lives her life like this, silly and naive. She's not very bright to begin with, and if she gets herself into trouble by playing around, then it would be a loss.
"Yes, that's good. Earning money through one's own labor is not a bad thing. Sister, you shouldn't learn this."
"Didn't you just break up? I'll find you another rich guy. You can cook for him, make him happy, and then take the money back, okay?"
Su Yuxi nodded, completely trusting her: "Okay."
Hu Chichi smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the obedient little girl.
Meanwhile, as night fell, the six o'clock bell rang.
Fu Huaijin lay alone on the bed, the pain surging through his body like a tidal wave, relentlessly eroding every nerve.
He curled up in agony, trying to ease the pain, but it didn't work... This time the pain was deep in his bones, very different from before.
Could it be that his body has no memory of it after only a few days without experiencing it?
I don't know what's going on, but I can only bear it for now.
Fu Huaijin hugged himself tighter, but the pain in his body not only did not subside at all, but became more and more obvious as time went by.
His bones creaked and groaned as if they were out of place. He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and when he couldn't bear it any longer, he pulled the blanket into his mouth and bit it.
Suddenly, his vision was plunged into darkness, and he could see nothing. It was just like usual, but this time the darkness seemed to become tangible, as if it were about to devour his mind.
Various feelings of fear and apprehension constantly eroded his mind.
"Su Yuxi".
Fu Huaijin groaned out her name. In his moment of unbearable pain, she was the first person he thought of, as if only she could pull him back from the abyss of terror.
As darkness drew closer to him again, Fu Huaijin kept calling out Su Yuxi's name in his mind...
Half an hour later, the pain subsided and her vision gradually returned.
Fu Huaijin was pale and had bloodshot eyes. He was breathing in the fresh air in large gulps. His clothes and the blankets he was lying on were soaked with sweat. But that wasn't the worst part.
Seeing the changes in his hands, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes were filled with not only fear but also disbelief.
His hands, which were originally smooth and clean, now had animal fur growing out of nowhere, and sharp, pointed nails...
Breathing seemed to freeze at that moment, and a suffocating stillness filled the air.
Fu Huaijin didn't believe it. He forcefully shook his hand, his sharp nails gleaming coldly. He had only lightly grazed the duvet cover, yet the seemingly sturdy cover was as thin as paper, easily torn by him...
Only two words were in his mind: monster, monster.
This scene had appeared in his dreams before, but now it had become reality, and he couldn't accept it.
"Chu Juan... Chu Juan," Fu Huaijin searched everywhere for his phone, wanting to call Chu Juan for help, but why couldn't he find his phone?
The more he couldn't find his phone, the more irritable he became; he wanted everything in his way to disappear.
Then, a frantic roar echoed through the empty room, followed by the dull thud of heavy objects falling to the ground, the clanging of various metals, and a cacophony of sounds.
In the end, the entire room was reduced to ruins, with nothing intact and the walls covered in horrifying claw marks.
When there was nothing left to smash, Fu Huaijin finally calmed down. After regaining his senses, he looked at the house, which was now unrecognizable, and realized just how destructive he had been.
Even the sturdy windows have been smashed.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, its pure white light shining precisely on his fragmented silhouette. His silver hair shone with an unusual luster under the pristine moonlight, and the interplay of light and shadow made him appear both distant and lonely, like a guardian abandoned by time, standing silently on the edge of a broken world.
No one cried out, no one came to the rescue.
Chu Juan rushed over as soon as he received the message. Although the two had just had a disagreement not long ago, he still came over immediately when he heard Chu Juan's silent plea for help.
Upon entering, one sees Fu Huaijin lying silently on the sofa, his eyes closed, his breathing even and shallow, as if he were simply in a peaceful sleep.
He tried to calm his rapid breathing, first looking around to make sure nothing seemed amiss, and his heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, began to relax slightly.
He walked quietly, step by step, until he was about five meters away from Fu Huaijin. He clearly saw the change in Fu Huaijin's hand, and his steps froze instantly. The astonishment in his eyes said it all.
My heart, which had just been at ease, became heavy again.
“Huaijin…” Chu Juan’s voice trembled slightly as he stared intently at those hands.
The man on the sofa kept his eyes tightly closed, as if he didn't need to face reality as long as he didn't open them.
"So, it's still... beast form?"
"Why did it happen so suddenly? Wasn't it under control?"
The air around them grew increasingly still as the two remained silent.
After a long silence, Fu Huaijin finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "I don't know."
He didn't know what happened. He had been taking the medicine and hadn't encountered anything unusual. The incident came too suddenly.
Although they had expected it, when it actually happened, neither of them could accept it, but they had no choice but to.
Chu Juan pursed his lips, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes. He took out the medical kit from his hand, placed it on the table, and opened it.
Several vials of the drug were visible at a glance; they were newly developed inhibitors, but ultimately, it was too late.
He abandoned taking out the inhibitor and instead took out gloves and blood-drawing equipment. The most urgent task now is to find out what changes have occurred in his genes and to quickly develop a new inhibitor to prevent his body from deteriorating further.
Looking at the hand that no longer belonged to a human, Chu Juan's eyes reddened without him realizing it. He gritted his teeth and forced his gaze to his arm.
On those clearly visible, winding blue veins, blood flows unseen by anyone.
Chu Juan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and inserted the sharp needle. Bright red blood flowed into the blood collection tubes through the soft tube. He stopped after drawing blood from five tubes.
The person on the sofa never opened their eyes.
After Chu Juan finished tidying up, he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked around, but he did not see Su Yuxi.
Where is Su Yuxi?
Fu Huaijin said wearily, "Not at home."
Chu Juan frowned deeply: "How could you let her out at such a crucial moment?"
Meanwhile, Su Yuxi, who was being talked about, was leisurely eating. The smile on her lips hadn't faded all day. Suddenly, she heard a buzzing in her ear and felt a slight tremor in her heart. She couldn't help but frown, raise her hand to cover one ear and shake it gently.
Hu Chichi noticed her unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Yuxi glanced around with her clear, watery eyes and shook her head: "It's nothing."
She thought she heard Fu Huaijin's voice just now, but she didn't see him or smell his presence. Maybe she was just imagining things.
