"Who said that? Being a ghost doesn't count, I..." Zhao Hao instinctively retorted, then paused, his expression turning to wild joy: "Brother Xiu! That's great! I knew you'd come to save me! Brother Xiu, I'm just too..."
"Stop! Don't say anything that's detrimental to unity."
Then, a rumbling sound rang out, and the trees that had been pressing down on Zhao Hao were all blown away.
Because of the cover of night and the angle, Zhao Hao did not see how Fang Xiu cleared the trees; he assumed Fang Xiu used his hands.
In fact, Fang Xiu used his hair.
Zhao Hao was quickly rescued, but one of his legs was twisted in an abnormal position, clearly broken.
"Your leg is broken, so you shouldn't move around right now. Just wait here. I've already contacted the investigation bureau, and they'll be here soon."
Zhao Hao grimaced in pain for a while before finally saying, "Brother Xiu, has the silver-haired woman been dealt with?"
"Mmm, dead."
Zhao Hao immediately looked at him with admiration: "Wow, my brother! I couldn't do anything to her even though it was past midnight, but you solved it so easily."
"You call your abilities 'the hour has come'?"
"Wow! Isn't that classy?"
Fang Xiu did not answer, but his assessment was that it was not as good as the Duck King's transformation.
Afterwards, he briefly explained the aftermath to Zhao Hao, then returned the way he came to find Shen Lingxue and the others.
Upon reaching Shen Lingxue and Liu Shuai, he unleashed a powerful attack on each of them, and with the injection of a trace of painful power, successfully woke them up.
Shen Lingxue broke a few ribs, and Liu Shuai lost too much blood, but neither of them are seriously injured.
After briefly explaining what had happened, he led them to meet up with Zhao Hao. The group lit a fire and waited for the investigation bureau's rescue team.
However, the moment the fire was lit, Zhao Hao and Liu Shuai were instantly stunned, both staring at Shen Lingxue in disbelief.
Shen Lingxue frowned immediately and said unhappily, "Why are you all staring at me? It's just some mud."
She clearly hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation, and thought that the two men were staring at her because she had fallen into a mud pit and was covered in mud.
She is also a frequent internet user and understands men's minds very well. Some men just like to see beautiful women looking disheveled and covered in mud.
“No…your head…hair…” Liu Shuai stared dumbfoundedly at Shen Lingxue’s buzz cut.
"Hair?" Shen Lingxue was even more displeased. Her hair must have been covered in mud and grime, and it looked terrible, but who told you to say it out loud?
Just as she was about to get angry, a cool mountain breeze blew by.
Shen Lingxue felt a chill on her scalp for no apparent reason, which startled her slightly, and she subconsciously touched her head.
The first thing I did was reach for the empty space; my cascading long hair was gone.
Shen Lingxue panicked instantly. She hurriedly reached up to touch her head, but the once soft texture had become rough, as if she were touching a man's buzz cut.
She quickly took out a mirror and looked at herself.
He froze instantly.
Click!
The mirror slipped from his hand, fell to the ground, and shattered instantly.
Along with it, Shen Lingxue's heart also shattered.
The air fell silent for a second, then two seconds...
"ah!!!"
A deafening scream shattered the silence of the arena.
"Where's my hair?!"
Shen Lingxue seemed to have forgotten her broken ribs. She stood up abruptly, her face covered in mud, but that couldn't hide her overwhelming rage.
She was so excited that her eyes turned red, as if she was so angry that she was about to cry.
At this moment, Fang Xiu calmly replied, "It was eaten by the hair monster."
Shen Lingxue was slightly taken aback at first, then shouted again, "Ah!!"
She seemed to want to vent her anger, because Fang Xiu had told her earlier that the hair ghost problem had been solved.
Liu Shuai and Zhao Hao stared dumbfounded at Shen Lingxue, who was furious like a tigress, trembling with fear, neither daring to utter a word.
Unexpectedly, Shen Lingxue suddenly ran away without saying a word.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a long silence, Liu Shuai asked, "Do you think she might have tried to commit suicide?"
Zhao Hao was shocked: "No way, it can't be that serious! It's just hair, what's the big deal? It can grow back, why would you commit suicide?"
Liu Shuai shook his head: "You don't understand how important hair is to women. Once, I went to a hair salon and saw a little girl squatting at the entrance crying. I went over and asked her what happened. Guess what? It was because the hairdresser cut her hair a couple more times, turning her long, flowing hair into a short bob. This little girl cried at the entrance of the hair salon for a whole afternoon."
Finally, the shop owner, unable to continue doing business after all the crying, not only refused to take the money but also gave the customer a new wig, and only then was the matter settled.
"Is it that serious? Should we go see her? What if she really does do something drastic?"
"You're right, we should definitely go see her. She's at her most vulnerable right now. I've read online that when a girl is most vulnerable, that's when it's easiest for someone to take advantage of her."
Hearing Liu Shuai's words, Zhao Hao was instantly moved, but unfortunately, he couldn't act because his leg was broken.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Handsome, why don't you help me over there?"
Liu Shuai rolled his eyes at him and said sarcastically, "Oh, now you know how to call me handsome? Dream on!"
With that, Liu Shuai staggered off in the direction of Shen Lingxue.
Zhao Hao panicked immediately, but unfortunately his body wouldn't allow it.
A moment later, several heart-wrenching screams rang out from the woods not far away.
Then, not long after, the fat man appeared beside the campfire as if in a flash.
The fat man's face was bruised and swollen, and he seemed to have gained even more weight than before.
"Ouch, that hurts so much! I was trying to comfort her, and she hit me?"
Zhao Hao looked at the fat man's miserable state and suppressed a laugh: "How did you comfort him?"
"I just comforted her normally. I said, 'Lingxue, you're still pretty even without hair. I see a lot of people on the street with hair, but they don't look as good as you without hair. Besides, so what if you don't have hair? It saves me from washing it every day.'"
After hearing this, Zhao Hao was dumbfounded and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! You deserved to get beaten up."
The fat man was slightly taken aback: "Why do you say that? Was there something wrong with how I comforted you?"
"Of course there's something wrong with it, a huge problem. Although I've never had a girlfriend, I at least know that when comforting someone, you can't keep reopening old wounds. You do the math yourself, how many times did you mention that Shen Lingxue is bald during your comforting words?"
The fat man counted briefly, and his face, already pale from blood loss, turned even paler: "It's over, it's over, there's absolutely no chance now."
Seeing the fat man's dejected expression, Zhao Hao immediately perked up, his face full of schadenfreude.
