"good."
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao had just heard the villain's charade and suddenly smiled sweetly, everyone sensed something was wrong and instinctively reached out to stop her.
"Wait!"
"Don't!"
Before anyone could stop her, everyone watched as Lu Xiaoyao placed the last talisman on top of the marriage contract. In an instant, the contract and the talisman ignited upon contact, and the marriage contract was destroyed in the horrified gazes of the crowd...
"No--!!"
As the marriage certificate burned, the force that had been separating the inside and outside of the ancestral hall suddenly disappeared. The "people" who had been crowding outside the ancestral hall with ferocious expressions suddenly burst into flames for some unknown reason and rushed in with shrill screams.
"Oh! Mommy!"
The moment the marriage certificate was destroyed, Lu Xiaoyao immediately regained her senses. She had just looked down and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her wedding dress being torn apart piece by piece and falling off. However, when she looked up, she saw that her kind and gentle mother, who had been kind to her during the day, was now twisted in a grotesque manner, dragging her half-burnt body towards her!
Lu Xiaoyao took two steps back, only to have her ankle grabbed by Bai Mu, who was engulfed in flames and pounced on her feet.
How dare you?!
Bai's mother, her face contorted in a grimace, knelt at her feet, demanding a piercing interrogation. She had expected to scare Lu Xiaoyao half to death, but instead—
"Why wouldn't I dare! Ahhhhh! Help! Help! Don't come any closer!!"
All I can say is that the will to survive is a wonderful thing.
The visual impact and psychological fear are nothing compared to the intense will to survive that runs deep within one's heart.
Right now, Lu Xiaoyao doesn't have any self-defense tools, but she still dares to directly slap the hand that's trying to pull up her skirt from below.
For a fleeting moment, the speed at which the hands clapped was so fast that Mingmei seemed to see an afterimage of Lu Xiaoyao's clapping hands.
They forcefully slapped Bai's mother, who was trying to get up, back to the ground!
Finally, Lu Xiaoyao unleashed the same move she used when she first met Mingmei—jumping on the spot!
It jumped right at White Mother's face!
While jumping around, he kept teaching with his eyes closed, and watching Lu Xiaoyao gesturing and screaming, it was like watching a shamanistic ritual.
To the astonishment of her teammates and tens of millions of live-stream viewers, Lu Xiaoyao's solo "demon-slaying" scene was truly "heart-stirring"!
Let's go!
More and more paper effigies rushed in with flames. Bai Xiao and the others seized the opportunity and quickly grabbed Lu Xiaoyao, who was no longer able to jump and had flattened Bai's mother, who was neither human nor ghost, and ran outside. Lu Xiaoyao, who was being dragged out, did not forget to look back once in the middle.
Young Master Zhang, still dressed in a blue robe, stood in the shadow of the ancestral hall's eaves, his gaze fixed on the merchant lady beside him, who was also dressed in a light blue dress.
The businesswoman stared blankly in the direction she left. Even though she didn't notice the gazes of those around her, it didn't stop Lu Xiaoyao from feeling from the bottom of her heart that the two of them looked exceptionally well-matched.
"Let's go too." Young Master Zhang turned back to look at the raging fire inside the ancestral hall, and then at Mingmei, who hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end. "There's still the final act to go through."
"There's more to the story?"
Mingmei froze, then looked in the direction where the players had already disappeared, wondering if all they had to do was escape.
And Mingmei soon found out what the young master of the Zhang family meant by the final plot.
Just as Lu Xiaoyao and her group rushed out of the Zhang residence, the male player who had always been very timid suddenly turned against them. He had somehow managed to pull out a memorial tablet and smashed it over Bai Xiao and Hu Yue's heads. The two women fell to the ground with a thud. This sudden reversal of events terrified Lu Xiaoyao.
"You're insane!"
Lu Xiaoyao stared at the male player with a pale face and wide eyes in disbelief.
"I'm not crazy."
The usually timid and cowardly male player instantly stood up straight. The heavy rain had stopped when everyone was gathered around the ancestral hall. At this moment, the moon, which had reappeared from the dark clouds, coldly shone down on him.
As Lu Xiaoyao watched the other person raise their head and stare at her with a cold gaze and a smug smile on their lips, her whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"You...you...why?"
"Because I need to complete the game."
The man, who had previously seemed powerless, now lifted a woman with each hand, hoisted Bai Xiao and Hu Yue onto his shoulders, left Lu Xiaoyao behind, and without looking back, carried Lu Xiaoyao on his back and walked firmly toward the Zhang residence once again.
They seemed completely unafraid that Lu Xiaoyao would dare to make a move.
"Hey! You...!"
Lu Xiaoyao stood still. A cool breeze blew across the empty street, and Lu Xiaoyao, who hesitated for a long time and dared not follow, couldn't help but shiver again.
Right now, she was looking at her system screen, which showed that she had escaped from Baishui Town, and there was also a map showing her the location of a ship.
If she walks in that direction now, she can pass the level immediately.
But she beat the game, so what about the other three players?
For a moment, Lu Xiaoyao hesitated.
In games, it's not that you can't pass levels, it's that you can't have any excitement!
As a streamer, Lu Xiaoyao knew this all too well. She could even guess that the viewers in the live chat must be scratching their heads in disbelief at the twist just now!
Even without looking at the comments, she knew that someone must want her to follow along!
"Dear viewers and parents, next... I'm going to explore the truth of time. I might not be able to complete the game. You all have to prove me right now, I'm really about to complete it, but now, for the sake of the truth of the story, I'm going to take an adventure!"
