Chapter 60 The Death of Zhao Hengshi
Zhao Hengshi felt his breathing becoming difficult. Looking at Shangguan Peiyu's eerie, chilling smile, fear gripped his heart. "Let—let—me—I—I—was wrong—was wrong—"
"Are you admitting your mistake?" Shangguan Peiyu laughed even harder. "Too bad, it's too late."
She opened her mouth, and Zhao Dashi felt an unseen, powerful force slowly peeling his soul from his body. He tried to break free, to resist, but he was powerless to stop...
His soul was pulled out bit by bit—his head, upper body, and lower body. His feet were still desperately trying to hold on, but they couldn't hold on for more than two seconds before they were completely detached and absorbed into Shangguan Peiyu's body.
His head drooped down, like a dead fish.
He was completely different from his angry self just now.
Shangguan Peiyu sneered and threw Zhao Hengshi's body out of the window.
After she finished, she clapped her hands, as if trying to brush away something dirty.
Then she went into the bathroom and took a nice, relaxing shower, carefully applying skincare products to her face. Afterward, she leaned against the window and wailed, "Honey, why are you so desperate—"

Bao Shuyu was still sleeping when he was woken up by the black cat scratching him.
He clapped his hands and flung the black cat far away, then went back to sleep.
The black cat limped over, hesitated pitifully for a moment, but still chose to continue scratching him. "Master, master, I think I can smell that person's scent."
Bao Shuoyu ignored it, slept for a while, then seemed to remember something and snorted out a few words, "Who is that person—"
"Nine Netherworld Lord".
A few seconds of silence followed, then Bao Shuoyu suddenly jumped out of bed. "What did you just say? You found the Nine Netherworld Lord?"
"I couldn't find it, I just smelled it—"
Before it could finish speaking, Bao Shuoyu threw the poor black cat out, then slammed the windows and doors shut. It couldn't climb back in.
The black cat fell to the ground, and was torn to pieces again. It slowly put its limbs back together.
The thought of Bao Shuoyu searching everywhere for Jiuyou Dijun for Yu Xiaoluo, only to find that Jiuyou Dijun had never appeared and had only occasionally caught a faint glimpse of him, without even being sure if it was him, made Bao Shuoyu feel extremely aggrieved.
The thought of Yu Xiaoluo, who made it suffer so much, made it hate her even more.
She stole her owner's love, even though it seemed her owner had never loved her at all. Her owner's attitude towards her had worsened, though it had never been kind before.
It believes that Yu Xiaoluo is the one who started all of this, that she is the source of all evil and the culprit.
So, after only a few seconds of hesitation, its gaze became firm and icy, and it ran towards Yu Xiaoluo's house in the vast darkness of the night.
——————
The family, exhausted after a long day, happily carried home a pile of gifts.
Yu Ming was the most tired today, spending all his time in the kitchen watching over things, so he didn't eat much. As soon as he got home, Chen Kejing told the housekeeper to cook him a bowl of noodles.
Looking at his sister, who had become worth billions overnight, and then at himself who had nothing, Yu Liang felt an overwhelming pang of sorrow. "Sister, you must help your third brother climb the social ladder. Your future depends on you."
Yes, any gift she casually pulls out could feed him for a lifetime.
Yu Xiaoluo said very seriously and sincerely, "Third Brother, just follow me with peace of mind. I will pay you a salary. How about 10,000 a month? I heard that college graduates usually only earn four or five thousand when they come out to find work. I will double that for you. It is just a little something from your sister. Please don't feel bad about it because it's more."
Ten thousand? That's not even enough for him to buy equipment for playing games.
Just as he was about to start crying again, Chen Kejing patted his arm and said, "Son, ten thousand is more than enough. Be careful with your money. Back then, your dad and I spent ten thousand on a whole year."
Yu Jiangbai nodded, "When I first joined Dad's company, he paid me 3,000 yuan a month and made me start from the bottom. My hands were calloused back then, unlike how comfortable you are now."
Chen Kejing suddenly remembered something, "Jiang Bai, I heard that Che Lisha is coming back to China soon. How are things going with you two?"
Yu Jiangbai smiled and said, "We're doing well, and we'd like to take things further."
"That's great! You must keep up the good work and bring her to our house for dinner sometime."
Chen Kejing turned to look at Yu Xiaoluo, "Luoluo, when you have time, help your brother check things out and solve this big problem. Set a good example, and once you have a family, you won't be running around aimlessly anymore."
Yu Xiaoluo nodded, "Okay, definitely. I'm going to rest now."
Yu Jiangbai and Yu Liang helped her carry the gifts and delivered them to her room, then told her to get some rest.
After closing the door, she released all her demon pets to work, asking them to organize her gifts, remove the fancy packaging boxes, and then she changed out of her cumbersome dress, took off all kinds of jewelry, especially the Fei Xiang jewelry set. After wiping it clean, she carefully put it back into the gift box.
Let's auction it off and use the money for charity, to accumulate some merit points.
This soul has lived for over a thousand years, and she has long since lost any desire for money. No wonder she always forgets about the debt she owes to the King of Hell. In her first life, this would never have happened; she would have remembered even a tael of silver for a lifetime.
After changing into a loose-fitting short-sleeved nightgown, removing my makeup, and taking a shower, I finally felt completely refreshed when I came out.
I never knew organizing a cocktail party could be so tiring. Sigh, life in the mountains is so much easier and more carefree.
Yu Xiaoluo lay on the bed, letting Xiaoxianxian and Xiaozhuzhu massage her. Just as she was getting drowsy, her ears suddenly became alert; there was a demonic aura.
She glanced at the little toad and Xuanwu, who were still diligently unpacking the boxes. She was already familiar with the auras of the four demons, but this demonic aura was unfamiliar.
"Xianxian and Zhuzhu, go out and take a look. There's a demon outside. It might not be friendly."
Little Pearl tilted her head, "Why let a girl do something so dangerous?"
Xiao Xianxian nodded. "Yes, I think Zhuzhu is right."
It was rare for the two of them to reach an agreement. Yu Xiaolu thought about it and agreed that it made sense. She then said to Xuanwu and Xiaohaha, who were sweating profusely, "Go and take a look. If you can't beat them, just call out."
Xuanwu and Little Toad: "Why us again?"
Xiao Zhuzhu said very confidently: "How can you have the nerve to let the girls fight while you boys sit in your rooms enjoying the air conditioning and unwrapping beautiful gifts? Is that appropriate?"
Xuanwu and Little Haha thought about it and realized it made sense. Although they felt they were at a disadvantage, as boys, they figured it was okay to lose a little.
So they jumped out of the window.
A black cat with a rotten egg in its mouth was watching the Yu family villa warily. After a quick inspection, it locked onto Yu Xiaoluo's room.
It quietly jumped over the courtyard wall and approached the room.
