Chapter 66 She's Coming
"If it wasn't you who opened it, then it must have been your husband." Xu Chuchu told Madam Lu, "Madam Lu and her eldest son would never let their daughter in. The servants in the mansion are not considered the masters and have no right to do so."
"There's one more very important thing." She paused. "It might be a little cruel, but I think you need to know. The dead can't be resurrected. Your daughter is now a walking corpse."
"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Lu's face immediately turned cold. "Master Sanshan is a true master. He has profound knowledge and is compassionate. If it weren't for him, my daughter would still be suffering in the underworld! He's not the charlatan you think he is!"
She didn't care that Xu Chuchu said she was the murderer, but she refused to hear a bad word from her daughter Nannan.
"I know he's not a charlatan." Xu Chuchu explained seriously, "He is indeed a physiognomist with high cultivation, but he is also an evil cultivator who does not follow the right path."
"You're just a little girl, how much do you know about physiognomists?" Madam Lu said disdainfully, "What right do you have to say that about him?"
"Why?" Xu Chuchu sat up straight and said calmly, "Because I'm also a physiognomist."
Madam Lu was stunned: "...You? A female, a female fortune teller?"
A teenage girl, a fortune teller?! A fortune teller who questioned Sanshan Zhenren?!
Xu Chuchu knew that words were not enough, so he simply raised his hand, gently covered the top of Mrs. Lu's head, and slowly used his spiritual power.
Just as Mrs. Lu was about to struggle, she felt a trace of warm current flowing in from the top of her head and gradually spreading to her limbs and bones.
Like a cup of hot milk in winter, it slowly dispelled her fatigue and tiredness tonight.
"Do you feel anything?" Xu Chuchu asked her.
"Yes..." Mrs. Lu replied blankly, "You really are..."
Seeing this, Xiao Yu on the side moved uncomfortably but did not say anything.
"Can you trust me now?" Xu Chuchu took her hand away. "We need to rescue your daughter."
Mrs. Lu did not respond immediately.
She used to be close to Shao Zhi, and she had always wondered why Lord Xiao was indifferent to a lady from a noble family like Shao Zhi, who had proper manners and elegant conversation, but instead often hung out with this ordinary girl in front of him who was so careless that she would step on her skirt if she walked fast.
It turns out that this is a female fortune teller. No wonder she is so calm and quick-witted... She may be as capable as Sanshan Zhenren.
But, so what?
"He's truly a capable man," Mrs. Lu said coldly, "but my daughter doesn't need to be rescued. She's much better than before."
"The real person rebuilt a perfect body for her. She no longer needs to crawl on the cold ground, wearing out her knees and palms. She can stand up, run, jump, and even climb high walls..."
"Her hands and feet won't twist in strange ways anymore, and other kids won't laugh at her when I carry her down the street."
"This is the body she's always dreamed of..." Madam Lu couldn't help but grab the armrests of the chair and muttered to herself, "She doesn't need to be rescued!"
She suddenly turned her head towards the door.
"Besides, here she comes."
Xu and Xiao were both startled and turned their heads suddenly, only to find that the four-legged monster they had met before had appeared outside the door at some point and was crawling silently back and forth on the doors and windows.
They were so close, yet the two of them didn't notice any movement at all!
"Be careful!" Xiao Yu reminded.
"It's the doll!" Xu Chuchu subconsciously touched the peach wood sword behind him, and then he remembered that he had left the peach wood sword in the inn when he went out in order to hide his identity.
"What doll?" Mrs. Lu showed a strange smile, "That's my daughter."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and rushed straight towards the door.
"Stop her!" Xu Chuchu shouted, "Don't let her open the door!"
The "baby" is controlled by humans and is more difficult to deal with than ordinary monsters, not to mention that it was raised by a high-level fortune teller.
The reason why Sanshan Zhenren chose Nannan must be because the resentment accumulated in Nannan was heavier than that of ordinary children, and her strength would be stronger after she was trained.
With the combined power of both sides, Xu Chuchu couldn't handle it at all.
If she could still barely fight against the corpse silkworms before by relying on talismans and experience, this time she had no chance of winning at all.
Therefore, this door must not be opened now.
Xiao Yu moved even faster. He grabbed Madam Lu's arm and pinned her down on the table, preventing her from moving.
"Behave yourself," he said.
"Haha..." Mrs. Lu laughed, "Do you think you can stop her like this? Do you think you can separate us mother and daughter like this? Nannan has grown up, and she will come to protect her mother."
"I won't break them up..."
Before Xu Chuchu finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Lu turn her head and say towards the door: "Nannan, come in."
Xu and Xiao felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they heard this.
This sentence was like a spell, and the four-legged monsters that were originally crawling on the doors and windows fell to the ground obediently.
Then he easily pushed open the door that was already ajar.
A little girl half a person's height, with waist-length hair and pale skin appeared outside the door and slowly walked in.
She was dressed exquisitely and had her hair combed cutely. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary girl who was spoiled by a wealthy family.
But if you look closely, you can see that the little girl has a dull expression, her pupils are dull, and there are traces of stitches under her cheeks and on the back of her hands.
It's more like a puppet that was stitched together than a girl.
A real doll.
"Nannan, come and save your mother!" Mrs. Lu called out anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Wawa immediately quickened her pace, but she did not attack Xiao Yu who had subdued her mother. Instead, she clawed at Xu Chuchu.
Xu Chuchu lifted up the bench and slapped the doll.
"Well, you heard me say I was a physiognomist and you were afraid the secret would be leaked, so you came to silence me?" She said disdainfully, "You really are guilty. With such a high level of cultivation, don't you have the courage to fight face to face?"
Of course, she was not saying this to the empty doll, but to the manipulator behind her, Sanshan Zhenren.
She knew he could hear her.
The doll was hit by a blow, but it seemed to feel no pain at all.
Its movements were extremely agile. It climbed up the wall using all four limbs like a spider and moved back and forth. Then, like a spider, it continuously spit out green mucus from its mouth and attacked Xu Chuchu.
Xiao Yu had no choice but to let go of Mrs. Lu and come forward to help cover.
He swung open his folding fan and continuously fired hidden weapons at the doll, forcing it to stop attacking.
The hidden weapon was extremely fast, but was still easily dodged.
The doll crawled while looking back at the people, its head turned almost 180 degrees.
Mrs. Lu was terrified and pale: "Don't use the knife! Don't hurt my daughter!"
"Don't you understand yet?" Xu Chuchu scolded, "She is no longer your daughter. She is just a killing tool raised by Sanshan Zhenren!"
