Chapter 54: This Autumn, I Met the Soft-Hearted Lord of the Underworld



There was no light in the room. Shangguan Qing reached out, touched the wall, and pressed the switch.

The moment the light came on, accompanied by a scream from Youxuan,

"Ah! What the hell?"

He was so scared that he hid behind Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing walked into the room with small steps, bent down slightly and looked down at the man sitting on the ground.

He was so skinny that he looked like a skeleton. His T-shirt was only supported by his bones. When she looked closely, she saw that his face was covered with bruises.

He is completely different from how he is during the day.

"What happened to you?"

She squatted down and tried to lower her voice, "What do you want from me during the day?"

Yu Hai hugged his knees with his hands and kept retreating to the corner until his back was pressed against the wall.

She and Youxuan waited for a few minutes, but he didn't speak.

Shangguan Qing observed the indoor environment. There were few things in the room and it was relatively clean.

"Who hit you?" she asked again.

Since Yu Hai came to see her on purpose, and looked so miserable, he was most likely looking for her help.

Who made her the Lord of the Underworld?

We can't really just stand by and watch someone die.

This time, Yu Hai finally raised his head tremblingly and looked at her.

With a pair of clear and bright eyes, Shangguan Qing believed that eyes were a reflection of the soul, so he should not be a bad person.

"I'm being chased. I set up a barrier here so they can't find me for now. I saw you on the news a few days ago, so I wanted to ask you to help me."

His voice was hoarse, as if his throat had been poisoned, and it was trembling with tears, and his voice was a little bit piercing.

"Why are they chasing you? Have you committed a crime?"

Yu Hai shook his head excitedly. The tense string in his brain suddenly broke and his emotions collapsed completely.

"I...I'm being hunted because of you."

Hearing this, You Xuan stood in front of Shangguan Qing without saying a word, "Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"

How could he let others bear the blood debt!

"I didn't lie to you!" he explained quickly.

Yu Tao became even more excited, his eyes became less pitiful and more serious.

"When I was alive, I heard that they were going to deal with you, so I was silenced. I was going to drink Meng Po soup, but I saw them again in hell, so I have been wandering around in the human world."

"Who are they?" she asked.

"People from the Mu family." Yu Hai said.

After he finished speaking, Shangguan Qing and Youxuan looked at each other with mixed emotions.

Mu Mansion...Mu Cheng’s home.

A circle seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and she was at the center of the circle, surrounded by unfathomable interpersonal relationships that were intertwined with each other.

Finally, he slowly wrapped around her and strangled her.

"What are they going to do to me?"

"Let you——"

A sharp arrow suddenly shot in from the window and went straight into Yu Hai's heart.

“Get out of the way!”

Shangguan Qing pushed him to the ground and escaped.

"Sir! The back of your hand."

Youxuan looked at the cut on her hand and became furious.

"Damn it! You actually bullied my master right under my nose! I will kill you!"

The next second, he transformed into his original form, a white tiger, and ran out of the window.

Shangguan Qing ordered, "Leave him alive!"

She looked down at her wounds, and several minutes passed without her spiritual power being able to repair them.

"This arrow is quite powerful." She sneered.

He pulled out the long arrow stuck in the wooden floor, the arrow head was still emitting black smoke.

"There's an evil blood curse on it..." Yu Hai explained, "I was injured before, and it took me a long time to heal."

If he had been shot in the heart by an arrow just now, he would probably have been scared to death now.

What’s more important is that when she met Cheng Ji for the first time, he was hit by the evil blood curse.

This is too much of a coincidence.

"From now on, you will come back to the antique shop with me. It will be safe there."

Yu Hai grabbed at the straw and said, "Thank you."

......

Cheng's house.

study.

Cheng Ji sat at his desk, his mind still revolving around the argument he had with Shangguan Qing today.

"Why did I say that at that time?" He was a little annoyed.

I hate that my mouth is faster than my brain.

Just as he was reflecting, there was a sudden crisp knocking sound on the window.

"Snap"

Then there was a "bang" and it fell to the ground.

He opened the window and looked down, his eyes filled with surprise, shock and fear.

"White Tiger?"

Youxuan just chased here and didn’t see the floor-to-ceiling window in front, so he bumped into it hard.

My head is hit and I feel dizzy.

He looked around the yard, and it seemed more and more familiar.

"Why does it look like Cheng's house?" He suddenly reacted and his bright eyes began to panic.

Damn it!

That bastard must have done it on purpose.

Youxuan adjusted his state and was about to fly out when he smelled Cheng Ji's scent.

He twisted his front paws and turned around.

The moment he saw Cheng Ji, his pupils constricted in fear.

"Why are you holding a gun?" You Xuan felt a little aggrieved. It wasn't something he wanted to do. "Put it down!"

What he said now sounded like a tiger roaring in Cheng Ji's ears, and he couldn't understand what he was saying.

Cheng Ji loaded the gun quickly.

"I won't make it difficult for you. If you leave Cheng's house now, I won't shoot."

His eyes were sharp and the gun in his hand was pointed at Youxuan's forehead.

Animals are generally psychic, and it's not known whether the animal understood or not. Cheng Ji was afraid that it didn't understand, so he freed his hand and pointed at the door next to him.

Youxuan, "......"

He is a handsome tiger after all, but he doesn't know how to be gentle and considerate to women.

Let’s go, I’ll go and tell the adults about it when I get back, huh.

Youxuan wagged his tail and walked out of the door leisurely and familiarly. The street lights in the community shone on him, and his white back with black stripes moved up and down.

Cheng Ji waited until it had gone far away before he walked into the house.

He put the gun in the drawer, still recovering from the shock.

"Why does the arrogance in its eyes when it left the house look so familiar?"

"Ah!"

Youxuan sneezed, causing the tiger's body to tremble, and it immediately turned into a human form.

"The expedition was unsuccessful, so we have to return to the capital."

Not only did I not catch the person, I almost got shot. I'll have to check the calendar before I go out next time.

......

Dengqing Antique Shop.

Shangguan Qing sat cross-legged on the sofa to recuperate, and the evil blood curse on the wound was almost completely resolved by her.

Yu Hai sat awkwardly on a low stool nearby, his eyes looking around.

"Just look at these things, don't touch them," she warned.

"I know that the energy above is filled with deadly resentment, and it's very heavy. It's easy to get tainted if you come into contact with it."

Ghost messengers like her and Youxuan have the ability to restrain them.

But if a lonely soul like him who relies solely on his own cultivation comes into contact with him, he will be attacked back.

Shangguan Qing finished his meditation, took a long breath, untied his legs and sat up straight.

"I know quite a lot."

"Sir! Cheng Ji wants to kill me!"

Before Youxuan arrived at the store, the news of the complaint spread quickly.

After a few seconds, he pushed the door open, ran to sit in front of her, his face full of grievance.

"You don't even know, I just chased someone to Cheng's house."

When he heard the word Cheng's house, Shangguan Qing's pupils instantly dilated and he became nervous.

"So he knows to see you as you are?"

Youxuan shook his head, paused for two seconds, and nodded again, "He saw me as Tiger, but didn't know I was Youxuan, but he actually... pointed a gun at me."

He gestured with his hands in grievance.

Shangguan Qing was speechless, "His mortal gun can't hurt you, but why did he run to Cheng's house?"

Cheng's house and Mu Cheng's house are next to each other.

Could it be...

Shangguan Qing looked at Yu Hai with a serious expression, "You will meet someone with me tomorrow."

"Who?"
