Chapter 52: Die and Live Again
Lin Xiyue took a simple bath, then checked her phone and prepared to go to bed, when she saw a message from Lotus.
A lotus flower is Master Qiao’s WeChat.
A Lotus: Master Lin, I was just in seclusion refining the elixir when I saw the news. I have many elixir furnaces here. If you need one, come and pick one when you have time.
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Lin Xiyue replied with an "OK" and then turned off the phone and went to sleep.
Have a good night's sleep.
When I turned on my computer in the morning, I received another WeChat message from Master Qiao.
A Lotus: Master Lin, are you free? If you are free, come and pick the alchemy furnace.
I have to say, Master Qiao really acts quickly.
Lin Xiyue lowered her brows and tapped the screen rapidly with her fingers.
Lin Xiyue: Okay, I’ll come after breakfast.
A lotus immediately shared an address.
At this time, Lin Xiyue put down her mobile phone, as if she sensed something, looked in a certain direction, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
——
In the early morning, the sun shines gently.
In the luxurious villa, a tall man stood in front of the window, and behind him, a smaller woman in silk pajamas slowly stood up.
The woman had thick, long black hair that covered half of her eyes and eyebrows, and her gorgeous and delicate facial features looked quite strong.
But at this moment, her expression was very gentle. She put her arms around the man's waist and spoke softly, "Abo, you don't have to worry about my parents' objection. I am an only child. As long as I truly love you, no one can stop us from being together."
The woman buried her head in the man's back and took a deep breath.
She didn't know why, but she was so obsessed with his smell now, as if she was addicted to drugs.
Gu Bo frowned as he looked at the text message on his phone and had a bad feeling in his heart.
What kind of expert did the Lin family encounter that even that mysterious woman was helpless against them?
The message on Gu Bo's cell phone was from the mysterious woman.
Mysterious Woman: Who is the master of the Lin family? Find out.
The mysterious woman's words were in a commanding tone.
Gu Bo was annoyed, but he had to obey.
We can only send someone to investigate the Lin family’s situation immediately.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Xiaoru stretched out her slender hand.
Gu Bo quickly put away his phone and said, "Nothing, there are some things going on in the company."
Xiao Xiaoru became unhappy immediately when she saw his panicked expression.
She grabbed his clothes tightly, and her tone changed from gentle to oppressive, "Could it be some vixen who spread the news?"
Gu Bo was strangled by her and couldn't breathe. He quickly comforted her, "Xiao Ru, don't let your imagination run wild. Now I only have you in my heart."
Xiao Xiaoru's expression was grim. "Abai, it's better this way. You know, I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. If I knew you betrayed me, then we would both perish together!"
Her long nails scratched his face.
It hurts.
Gu Bo's body was stiff and his legs were trembling slightly.
He didn't expect that Xiao Xiaoru, who was under the spell, would be like this.
It is completely different from the legendary love brain.
Gu Bo thought that after being bewitched, Xiao Xiaoru would let him control her and become his slave and dog, but in reality...
She was truly devoted to him and couldn't live without him. She would rather go against everyone in the Xiao family and be with him without hesitation.
But she was also terribly overbearing. When she was with him, if he looked at other girls for even a second, she would warn and punish him. Sometimes the warning was physical, and sometimes it was mental.
Sometimes when he woke up in the middle of the night, he found Xiao Xiaoru staring at him, as if she was staring at her food, wanting to skin him alive and eat him.
She even often said she wanted to die with him.
According to Xiao Xiaoru, a man is most honest when he is hanging on the wall.
If he really betrayed her one day, he believed without hesitation that she would kill him and eat his body.
Because Xiao Xiaoru also said that from her childhood to adulthood, she had never loved someone so much, that love seemed to be engraved into her flesh and blood, and she would only feel satisfied if she became one with him.
This terrible and suffocating love makes Gu Bo restless every night.
But the temptation of money and the desire to become a superior person made him suppress his fear and continue to move forward step by step.
Seeing Xiao Xiaoru staring at him with that terrifying look again, Gu Bo's body stiffened.
He is now confused. Is he controlling Xiao Xiaoru or is she controlling him?
Using the excuse of going downstairs to bring breakfast to Xiao Xiaoru, Gu Bo ran out of the room quickly.
Behind him, Xiao Xiaoru's face became even gloomier because of his escape.
Oh, I really want to eat him!
Unfortunately, I’m still a little reluctant now, so I’ll have to wait a little longer!
——
After feeding two babies who had just woken up in the morning, Lin Xiyue went downstairs to have breakfast feeling refreshed.
As soon as I reached the stairs, I met Brother Lin.
At this moment, he looked as if he had been raped by ten rich women all night. His face was pale and he looked completely listless.
His hair was still wet and stuck to his forehead.
Who would understand? After eating that stuff last night, he was woken up by the pain five times!
Five times in total!
My stomach is burning, as if it's been cooked!
If that feeling happened one more time, he would want to kneel down and beg for mercy!
I don't know where the eldest brother got this secret recipe from, that quack doctor! He is really causing harm to people!
He made up his mind that he would fight to the end no matter what tonight, otherwise he would lose his life tonight!
Although he was tortured all night last night, he still took a shower early in the morning.
He didn’t know if it was because of the dust on the carpet, but when he woke up, he was completely dirty, as if he had worked in a ash factory all night.
Second Brother Lin greeted his younger sister weakly, then walked to the dining table.
The torture of the night was so severe that he didn't even notice that he, who usually had to gasp and cough after walking three steps, could actually walk to the dining table and sit down in one breath.
The Lin family’s breakfast is very simple, with steamed buns, fried dough sticks and red date millet porridge.
The steamed buns and fried dough sticks were bought by Lin's father early in the morning, and the red date millet porridge was cooked by Lin's mother early in the morning.
As soon as Brother Lin sat down at the table, he picked up a bowl of millet porridge and started drinking it with big gulps.
Mother Lin on the side hurriedly stopped him: "Xiao Fan, eat slowly, be careful not to choke!"
Because Second Brother Lin was in poor health and had a chronic cough, he could only eat in small bites for fear of being choked.
No one in the family had ever seen him eat so voraciously. Mother Lin just thought that he didn't eat enough last night and was too hungry in the morning, so he couldn't control himself for a while.
Little did he know that at this moment, Brother Lin, after the heart-wrenching pain he suffered last night, only felt that he could eat a cow after running an 800-meter marathon.
After finishing a large bowl of millet porridge in one gulp, Brother Lin finally felt that he had a little strength.
Only then did he notice the shocked looks of the crowd.
Then she looked at the bowl in her hand and ruffled her wet hair: "What's wrong? Did I eat too fast and scare you guys?"
"Xiao Fan, why don't you cough while eating?" Lin Zhenxing's tone was full of surprise.
Only then did Brother Lin realize that he seemed to have not coughed for a long time.
No, he seems to have only coughed three or five times from this morning till now.
He just didn't notice it because he was too hungry and tired.
Now, after eating a bowl of porridge, he finally felt alive again. He picked up a bun and took a big bite.
Mm, it feels so good to be able to eat a big meal!
It was as if he had come back to life.
The feeling of having an unblocked chest and breathing smoothly is unprecedented.
He glanced at his eldest brother, and Brother Lin was also staring at him blankly.
The two of them locked eyes.
Brother Lin: How about that? The God of Medicine!
Brother Lin: Big Brother, even though you almost killed me, I am alive now!
Brother Lin: Let’s continue tonight!
Brother Lin: Even so, I still really want to refuse!
The two exchanged glances.
