"Are you Old Liu who was with Huo Liang? We've met before. I'm your Grandpa Xu!" I laughed loudly.
Old Liu outside must have been furious. He said angrily, "You little brat, you dare to call yourself my grandfather in front of me? You're really brave! Do you think you can stop me by setting up a formation?"
I smiled calmly and said, "Since it's a formation to be broken, if you have the guts, just let your little ghost in to break through. I'd love to hear those miserable ghost cries and wolf howls."
"Boy! Just wait!" After saying that, Lao Liu stopped talking and no one knew where he went.
I waited for a long time, but there was no movement. I thought, would this guy run away? I was waiting alone in the yard for a long time. Just when I was getting a little impatient, I heard a bell ringing outside the gate of the villa wall.
Zhao Xi was very happy because of my arrival, so she temporarily withdrew all the bodyguards at home. Now, let alone bodyguards, I am the only man in the villa. The others, Zhao Xi, Xiao Sifei, Su Xiaoniu, and the nanny are all women.
Someone rang the doorbell late at night, and no bodyguard came to greet me. I could only go over and see for myself. It was a young man. Judging from his dress and the package in his hand, he should be a courier. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was delivering a package and asked me to open the door and sign.
Still delivering a package past midnight? Is he even more dedicated than I was back then? I rolled my eyes. Curious, I opened the door and walked out. The delivery guy handed me the package and a pen, asking me to sign. I didn't sign immediately. I looked at the package over and over, asking him, "What's in this?"
The delivery boy said with dull eyes, "I'm not sure, it should be women's cosmetics or something like that."
Women's cosmetics? Could they be Zhao Xi's?
I said "Oh" and was about to sign, but suddenly Su Xiaoniu's voice came from upstairs: "Don't sign! That's 'Hell Express'!"
I had just signed the character "Xu" when I heard Su Xiaoniu's voice and immediately stopped writing. I turned back and looked up at the villa. Su Xiaoniu floated over from the third-floor window, her silver dress fluttering in the wind, her jet-black hair cascading down her shoulders and down to her waist, her eyebrows lowered, revealing a hint of aloofness.
This appearance was so stunning that it blinded my eyes. Even the moon, which had finally squeezed out from the clouds, felt ashamed and hid back into the clouds when it saw Su Xiaoniu...
She floated down before my eyes, like a fairy scattering flowers, breathtakingly beautiful. She came over and said, "This is the underworld express, also known as the 'life-buying package.' Sign your name, and your life will be 'bought.'"
I was surprised and asked, "Can lives be bought and sold?"
Su Xiaoniu glared at me angrily and said, "You don't understand this, do you? Some people have a thousand ways to steal ordinary lives without anyone noticing. This 'life-buying package' is just one of them. The caster is usually a master of raising ghosts, mostly Yin-Yang masters. Once you signed your name just now, your soul will leave your body and float before the caster like a zombie. Then, the caster will imprison and refine your soul, directly transforming you into a little ghost, and then send you out to send the 'life-buying package'."
I glared and turned around to ask the delivery guy, but the guy who had stood in front of me and asked me to sign was gone, and I was still holding a package. I subconsciously opened it and took a look, and inside was a skull...
I broke out in a cold sweat. Receiving a package these days can be risky, especially one that arrives in the middle of the night! It turned out to be a "life-saving package"!
Fortunately, Su Xiaoniu came out in time, otherwise I might have been in trouble.
"Where is that Old Liu? Why is there no movement at all?" Su Xiaoniu looked around curiously, but it was quiet and there was nothing there.
I shrugged and said, "He came here a while ago, but because I set up the Xiaoyangguan Road in the villa, he couldn't do anything. He said, 'Do you think you can stop me by setting up a breaking formation?' and then told me to wait... I haven't seen him come yet. Maybe he was too scared to come."
Su Xiaoniu shook her head and said, "I don't think so. The guy who just delivered the underworld express was most likely sent by Old Liu. He couldn't let the little ghost rush into the villa where the Xiaoyangguan Road was set up, so he had to use other methods to eliminate the owner of the formation and then destroy the formation... Maybe someone else will come looking for you later. Remember, no matter who it is, don't pay any attention to them, because those who come to you at this time may not be human, but ghosts who come to take your life!"
Su Xiaoniu's last words frightened me, but I didn't doubt it at all. On the contrary, I believed it. Firstly, the delivery guy had indeed arrived unexpectedly and left in an uncanny way. It was obvious that there was something fishy about him. In other words, Su Xiaoniu had no reason to lie to me. And since this was a tense moment with Lao Liu, I absolutely couldn't let anything go wrong.
"Keep up the performance of Xiaoyangguandao. I'll go back upstairs first!" Su Xiaoniu said this and floated upstairs.
I watched her float to the third-floor window and slip inside. In this small, splendidly sunny path, oblivious to the sight, I breathed a sigh of relief. I closed the door and rested for a moment when someone knocked again. My brow furrowed, and I remembered Su Xiaoniu's words. A sudden chill struck me. Cautiously, I approached the door and saw that the person was a man in his seventies or eighties. But I didn't let his mere presence of mind make me careless. I immediately opened my Dharma Eyes and scanned the old man. Sure enough, he wasn't human!
