Murong Xue subconsciously opened her eyes and suddenly realized that she was already outside the exhibition hall, surrounded by streetlights, and the night was very quiet. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Zeqi collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. The experience of that night would haunt him for a long time. Zhou Miao was alright, since he only heard the sounds and didn't see the actual scene, but judging from Lu Zeqi's lifeless expression, one could imagine how disturbing the scene must have been.
Qin Nan breathed in the fresh air and felt refreshed. She watched Bai Hao put away the small bottle with a complicated expression and was very curious.
Qin Nan: "What is this?"
Looking at Qin Nan's innocent and pure appearance, Bai Hao's eyes lit up, and he whispered with a chuckle in his ear, "An aphrodisiac for men!"
Bai Hao emphasized the last three words, making them exceptionally clear, his deep voice carrying a strong allure.
Qin Nan blushed and pushed Bai Hao away. Chi Wei and Pi Yuan had sharp ears; they heard it, but they resolutely pretended not to hear.
If it weren't for Qin Nan, they would never have imagined that Bai Hao could have such a side. Although they looked young, they had lived for hundreds of years and knew a lot about many things.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of sirens. Not far away was the restaurant, where survivors were gathered at the entrance. Police cars drove into the park, and many police officers began to maintain order. The scene was cordoned off, and many people hiding upstairs were evacuated.
Qin Nan and the others were questioned and their statements were taken one by one. Apart from what they shouldn't have said, their statements were no different from those of the others. The police were probably in for a headache, after all, the scene was quite bizarre, and the statements of all the eyewitnesses were even more unbelievable.
The group was finally released in the early hours of the morning. Zhou Miao drove Lü Zeqi, Murong Xue, Chi Wei, and Pi Yuan back together. Bai Hao said he had something to do with Qin Nan and told them to go ahead.
Then Bai Hao took Qin Nan to a secluded place, transformed into his true form, and flew home with Qin Nan on his back. When they arrived home, Qin Nan had already been asleep on Bai Hao's back for a long time.
The next day, Qin Nan got up early and went to the breakfast shop across the street to buy some soy milk and fried dough sticks, because he really couldn't bring himself to cook.
Although Qin Nan managed to sleep with Bai Hao's help, the bloody and mangled scene was unforgettable. Now, Qin Nan had no desire to eat any meat or cook, and the sight of blood and flesh made her feel nauseous and want to vomit.
It was still quite dark at six o'clock in the winter. Qin Nan stood at the gate and looked at the white lanterns and black and white plaque on the door. To be honest, if he didn't live here, it would look quite eerie.
Qin Nan couldn't help but smile. The weather forecast said it would snow tomorrow, so they probably wouldn't see the sun today.
Walking back to the inner courtyard, Bai Hao was already sitting on the sofa. Xuan Yu and Teng Xue were still asleep, probably unaware that they had returned last night.
Qin Nan opened the breakfast on the table, but still had no appetite. Footsteps came from the stairs, and Xuan Yu and Teng Xue rubbed their eyes sleepily as they came downstairs.
"Brother Anan, you're back!"
Qin Nan rubbed Xuan Yu's head: "Okay, let's wash up and have breakfast."
Xuan Yu nodded and went to the shower to wash up. Teng Xue leaned over and whispered, "Brother Anan, where are Chou Yu and Xiao Pi?"
Qin Nan: "They went to visit the older sister who came the other day, and they came over today."
Tengxue nodded and asked, "Brother Anan, you and Brother Bai are so noisy at night. Could Brother Bai set up a barrier?"
Qin Nan was taken aback: "Very noisy?"
Seeing Qin Nan's blank expression, Teng Xue realized she had asked the wrong question, so she said it was nothing and ran off to wash up.
Qin Nan turned to look at Bai Hao thoughtfully. Bai Hao sat upright, his eyes fixed straight ahead. Qin Nan raised an eyebrow, walked over, and hugged Bai Hao's neck from behind, smiling: "So last night wasn't a dream?"
Bai Hao turned and kissed Qin Nan on the lips: "Don't worry, I didn't do it."
Qin Nan: "Then why do I feel so hot and restless while sleeping in your arms?"
Bai Hao: "Perhaps, it's because the weather is dry."
Qin Nan snorted coldly, "You might as well sleep on the floor!"
Bai Hao immediately pulled Qin Nan back: "Last night you were half asleep and drank some of the stuff Lao Tao gave you. You kept saying you were hot. I wanted to see what was wrong with you, so you pulled me onto the bed, took off my clothes, and held me while we slept."
Qin Nan: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Bai Hao: "Oh, I gave you a drop to try, and you were rolling around in heat, kicking off the blankets and taking off your clothes, so I..."
Qin Nan: "You held back?"
Bai Hao said, looking aggrieved, "Well... you said you weren't allowed to touch it, so I helped you dissipate the effects of the medicine."
Qin Nan rolled her eyes at him, completely disbelieving: "Ha, you weren't the one who drugged me?"
Bai Hao coughed softly. Actually, he had considered not administering the drug yesterday, but he felt it would be better to make Qin Nan willing. However, Qin Nan had been having nightmares all night, crying and screaming. Bai Hao felt sorry for her and went over to comfort her.
Comforting him was useless; all I could do was forcibly dispel his dream and make him fall asleep. Of course, touching and kissing him shouldn't count as doing anything. Anyway, Qin Nan picked him up herself later, and it was only after being held for a long time that he got too hot.
Qin Nan let go of Bai Hao and went to sit down at the dining table to eat. Bai Hao followed and sat down as well. Xuan Yu and Teng Xue, who had already washed up, peeked out to see the two of them sitting down at the table before running out to sit down and eat.
After finishing their meal, Qin Nan sat down next to Bai Hao, still wanting to find out the whole story.
Bai Hao solemnly explained what a divine decree was. He said that Zhou Miao's birdcage, the three infant coffins in the mountains, and the mutated spider last night all originated from one person, or rather, not a person, but a vengeful soul.
However, the situation is different each time. Zhou Miao took revenge on the woman in red that time, but unintentionally implicated the child. So as compensation, he gave Zhou Xuan a chance to be reborn, which is why Bai Hao took action.
Bai Hao and the others only dealt with the tail end of the Three Infant Coffins. They had already done what they wanted to do. The person who fed the ghost infants would suffer a terrible fate, but it wasn't time yet.
This time, it's just revenge. Even if Bai Hao and Tao Duo aren't around, someone will naturally clean up the mess. It just won't be completely destroyed like Tao Duo's case. Instead, it will be handed over to someone else for use.
Qin Nan was puzzled: "How could that person have implicated so many people?"
Bai Hao: "His experiences during his lifetime were indeed complicated, and he suffered the hatred of more than one person."
Qin Nan: "How many more people does he want to kill?"
Bai Hao: "So far, there should be three more people, but these three are not easy to deal with."
Qin Nan: "What exactly did he go through?"
Bai Hao: "It's a long story. I'm going to meet someone today."
Qin Nan: "See someone? Who?"
Bai Hao: "They've arrived."
Qin Nan was confused, and then she heard a commotion coming from the front yard. Qin Nan got up and went to the front yard. Xuan Yu and Teng Xue exchanged a glance and jogged after her. They had smelled the odor.
