Chapter 849 Extra Chapter 15: Emperor Ying punishes the scum and teases Xiao Xina.
Luo Ziqiu also knew what Luo Xiu was going to do on this trip to O Continent.
That haunted house has indeed been occupied for nearly a hundred years, but with Sikong Shan around and Luo Xiu himself being quite powerful, how did it become like this?
Luo Xiu seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare. His eyes widened as he stared at Luo Ziqiu, his face filled with fear and disbelief.
"Uncle, it's me." Luo Ziqiu asked patiently, "What exactly happened?"
Luo Xiu was about to speak when he couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.
Luo Ziqiu's expression changed, and he immediately pressed an acupoint on Luo Xiu's head, then looked up and said, "Dad, we must get Uncle to the hospital as soon as possible. His condition is very bad."
"Okay, okay." Without further ado, Luo's father dialed the phone number. "Hey, Ziqiu, go and ask Sikong Shan again."
Luo Ziqiu nodded and called Sikong Shan.
However, no matter how many times he dialed, only a cold female voice answered: "The number you have dialed is busy, please try again later..."
Luo Ziqiu was suddenly stunned.
The Luo family has been blacklisted by Sikong Shan?
What's going on here?
Luo Ziqiu was extremely agitated. He waved his hand and summoned the butler: "Go and find out what's going on in the capital."
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
Meanwhile, the Gu family lived just one street away from the Luo family.
"Miss Hongxiu," the maid stepped forward respectfully, "all the materials you needed have been prepared. Would you like a few more disciples to accompany you?"
“No need. I will go to the capital myself and meet with Fifth Month.” Gu Hongxiu’s eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, “Such a simple matter does not require any entourage.”
She refused to believe it; she couldn't compare to a third-generation rich kid who indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun.

The next morning.
The plane landed over a guesthouse.
In May, looking up, she saw the familiar symbol on the airplane—the golden iris.
The hatch opened, and a tall, slender figure jumped out.
In the darkness, the young man's hair shone like gold.
He had a faint bluish-black tinge under his eyes.
Wu Yue was stunned for a moment.
It's been a week since we last met, but it feels like years have passed in a blur.
"What are you staring at?" Xize noticed the girl staring at him in a daze, her ears slightly red, but her expression remained aloof. "Go up."
Wu Yue snapped out of her thoughts and slowly said, "Oh."
This aircraft is custom-made, and the cabin is fully equipped with all the necessary equipment.
In May, she lay happily on a soft chair and began to eat fruit.
The driver was somewhat confused.
This aircraft model was phased out twenty years ago, and its speed is far inferior to that of the new generation of aircraft.
It's quite far from Florence; at this plane's speed, it would take at least eight hours to get there.
I don't know what's wrong with their owner this time, insisting on stretching the two-hour journey four times longer.
"Congratulations, Fifth Master." Xize turned his head, suppressing the urge to pinch her bouncy cheeks, and said slowly, "You've completed another mission."
Upon hearing this, May immediately became alert.
She hugged her small package tightly, glanced at him, and whispered, "Let's make this clear beforehand, I didn't ask the driver to call you, so it can't be considered a debt."
Xize was both annoyed and amused: "What do you think about all day long? Do I only think about making you in debt?"
"Hmph." Fifth Month muttered, "Who told you to always bully me?"
She waved her hand: "Don't block my view of the TV."
Xize didn't say anything, but moved to another seat and said, "Okay."
In May, he scratched his head.
Her creditor is acting strangely; he's been so obedient today.
The sun rose in the west.
Forget it, why bother with all that?
The upholstered chairs were also custom-made by the Laurent family, and are more than ten times more comfortable than the beds in the guesthouse.
In May, while watching the food being eaten, she quickly fell asleep again.
It even started snoring softly.
While the haunted house trip wasn't particularly difficult for Fifth Month, it still took a lot of her energy.
Xize got up, walked to the soft chair, bent down, picked up the girl, and gently placed her on the velvet bed.
He sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and poked Fifth Month's chubby cheek, his eyelashes drooping: "Pig."
Eat and sleep, sleep and eat.
Luckily, he has plenty of money and can afford to support him.
After Wuyue fell into a deep sleep, Xize got up, walked to the bathroom, and pressed a number.
After the call connected, he said directly, "Get ready, I'm getting married."
Job was so shocked he choked: "Cough cough... Master, what did you say?"
“Get married,” Xize said. “Grand, understand? Book all the advertising screens in the world, especially in Luonan, and have them play it for me every day.”
Job hesitated for a moment, then said tactfully, "Master, what if Miss Yue isn't interested in you?"
Nishizawa: "..."
It suddenly hit me hard.
"Besides, Master, you're jumping straight to marriage before even dating, it'll scare Miss Yue away," Job advised. "Girls need to be pursued first, otherwise you'll just be like those scumbag guys in TV dramas who force themselves on the female lead."
"..."
That hurts again.
Xize nodded: "Okay, help me gather some information on how to woo a girl."
"Yes, Master!" Job sincerely wished, "May your flower bloom successfully!"
"..."
What nonsense.
Xize frowned.
He always felt that things online were unreliable, and it was better to ask experienced people.
Xize searched through his phone for a long time before finally finding Fu Yunshen's ID.
[Excuse me, how did you manage to win over the boss?]
Whether it's the Wheel of Fortune, the Divine Calculator, or the current Ying Zijin, they all maintain a distant and unapproachable attitude towards those they don't know well.
Xize recalled that when he first saw Ying Zijin in the 18th century, he was almost scared to tears.
Fu Yunshen must have had some extraordinary methods to win Ying Zijin's heart.
He was genuinely curious.
A few minutes later, the reply came.
Xize's expression brightened, and he immediately opened it to check.
【Devil】：?
【Devil】：Relying on looks and physique.
Nishizawa: "..."
What the hell?

Country G.
Early in the morning, Charlotte brought in breakfast.
Seeing Sinai still staring at her phone, she asked curiously, "Teacher Sinai, didn't you get a new phone yesterday? Didn't you say it got a virus?"
Sinai shook her head: "I'm not changing it, it doesn't seem to have any impact."
Aside from the occasional alarm ringing, which automatically reminds her to eat, sleep, and exercise, she doesn't seem to have any other problems.
Sinai rested her chin on her hand.
This kind of old-fashioned cadre style is very much like that of a certain sage.
After she shrunk, she liked to stay in bed longer.
But ever since she moved into Norton's villa, if she hadn't woken up by seven o'clock, the old man would lift her out of bed and make her wash up and have breakfast.
Norton honed his culinary skills in this way.
At first, he didn't even know how to fry an egg.
Norton is indeed an old-fashioned person who doesn't understand any science or technology.
For him to create such an app is like the Yangtze River flowing backwards—it's a pipe dream.
Sinai tapped the app: "I'll keep you for now."
Norton also bought her this phone.
After the dream ends, there should always be something left to remember it, something to prove that those six months weren't a dream.
"Ms. Sinai, why did you go home so early yesterday?" Charlotte complained. "We agreed to go to the live house together, but you ran off right after dinner."
“I’m getting old, my back doesn’t work, and I can’t dance anymore.” Sinai took out a document, raised an eyebrow, and said, “I’m not going to hang out with you young people anymore.”
Charlotte was shocked: "Ms. Sinai, you'll only be twenty-seven after your birthday this year. What do you think that forty-year-old uncle next door who still goes clubbing?"
"..." Sinai changed the subject, "Xiaxia, tell me about your principal, even gossip is fine."
“Great!” Charlotte said excitedly. “The vice principal’s biggest fear is the principal. There’s a statue of the principal in front of the main building. But if you ask me, it’s not really a statue because there’s no face carved on it, but he still has a great figure.”
Sinai listened attentively.
Upon hearing the last sentence, she couldn't help but recall the time when they were "living together," during which she would often accidentally catch a glimpse of his bare upper body.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, tight chest muscles, and eight-pack abs.
She does have a great figure.
Sinai remained expressionless.
But it's truly disrespectful to an elder.
"There's something else I've heard about," Charlotte hesitated for a moment. "Several senior professors in the Alchemy Department said that the headmaster was used as a test subject when he was a child, which is why he's always been unpredictable."
Sinai's expression changed: "Experimental subject?"
“I don’t know the specifics either.” Charlotte thought for a moment. “I heard it happened in the alchemy world. As an alchemist, the headmaster lived a long life, and many of his contemporaries died. Who knows what happened back then?”
Sinai
She stared at the dialog box for a long time before finally raising her hand.
You poked that shameless old man.
The shameless old man patted you on the shoulder and called you "Dad."
Sinai: "..."
She really underestimated him; even this old fogey knows how to use WeChat's "poke" feature.
[Shameless Old Man]: Dad?
Sinai pressed her head down.
She used to come here to play, but who knew Norton would click on her profile picture.
She typed it out word by word.
【My dearest tank commander, it's been a long time. How are you doing?】
[Shameless Old Man]: Worried about me? Don't worry, I'm healthier than you.
Sinai: "..."
No matter how much she feels sorry for him, she's a pig.
[Shameless Old Man]: Why have I never seen you treat me with such respect before?
[Shameless Old Man]: You can remove the words "Chariot Lord" from your resume, that's not impossible.
Sinai looked back at the message she sent, removed "Lord Chariot," and it became—
Honey.
It was just a casual remark, but her heart suddenly raced.
Sinai put the phone away.
That's insane.
**
On the other side.
The capital city.
Ying Zijin also returned to the Ji family villa area.
She leaned back on the sofa, watching a new TV series produced by Chuguang Media.
"You're willing to give away your little apprentice?" Fu Yun Shen patted her head. "Where to next?"
"Didn't we say we were going to play pirates at sea?" Ying Zijin yawned. "Sometimes when I'm so busy, I feel a little uneasy when I suddenly have a break."
Fu Yunshen nodded: "Yes, I'll have Li Xini move a boat out specifically for us."
The two watched TV together.
A few minutes later, Ying Zijing narrowed her phoenix eyes and stood up.
Fu Yunshen looked up, his eyes slightly darkening: "What?"
"Someone's come to our door. Let's clear out this trouble for Yueyue." Ying Zijin said calmly. "My apprentice can't be bullied."
Fu Yun raised his eyebrows.
He took her hand and chuckled softly, "Master, have pity on me."
Ying Zijing paused, her expression cracking slightly: "Stop for a moment."
The contrast between how this man acts coquettishly and how he acts is so striking that she is always powerless to resist.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Go on, Miss Ying." Fu Yunshen said in a drawn-out tone, "After you're done, leave the rest of your time to me."
Gu Hongxiu, who was staying at a hotel, had no idea that everything she did had already been discovered when she first started her operation.
Gu Hongxiu began carving the birth date and time of the fifth month onto the wooden doll.
She learned this from the Luo family.
When the betrothal was arranged, both sides kept the betrothal letter, which included Luo Ziqiu's and Wu Yue's birth dates.
Gu Hongxiu narrowed her eyes.
She wanted to let Fifth Month experience what it felt like to be heartbroken.
The Gu family rose to power quickly, partly because they took unorthodox and unethical paths.
They expanded the Gu family by plundering the fortune of others.
Gu Hongxiu is a direct descendant of the Gu family, so she naturally understands these things.
"Don't blame anyone else for the fifth month." Gu Hongxiu finished carving the eight characters and then bit her finger. "If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for getting engaged to Ziqiu."
She was a woman, and it was obvious that Luo Ziqiu hadn't paid much attention to her since they returned from the ancient tomb.
Besides May, who else could it be because of?
Gu Hongxiu dripped her blood onto the door and was about to continue setting up the formation when the door suddenly collapsed.
She was startled and looked up.
The girl's features were cool and aloof, her gaze detached.
It was as if I could see right through him at a glance.
"You have quite the nerve." Ying Zijing lowered her eyelashes, her voice indifferent. "Do you really think that your Gu family has reached the pinnacle and can act with impunity?"
"You...!" Gu Hongxiu was so shocked that she was speechless, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
Her legs went weak, and with a thud, she collapsed to the ground.
The brain simply stopped functioning.
She had clearly set up an array outside, so how did Ying Zijin, an ordinary person, get in?
Gu Hongxiu completely lost the ability to think, and her ears were ringing.
“Since you’ve chosen to enter this world, you must abide by its rules.” Ying Zijing lifted Gu Hongxiu up with one hand. “You dare to be so open and aboveboard even in the capital. Very good.”
She glanced at the scattered puppets on the ground, flicked her finger, and the puppets instantly turned into powder.
Gu Hongxiu wanted to control Fifth Month through puppets.
The idea is quite good.
"Make a call and tell the Gu family." Ying Zijing turned to look at the two disciples of the Fifth Family, "Come and take him away in person."
"Yes, Master Ying."
**
Luonan.
A day and a night have passed, and Luo Xiu still hasn't woken up.
Luo Ziqiu is keeping vigil at the bedside.
"Young Master Ziqiu, something's happened!" At that moment, the butler rushed in, looking anxious. "Miss Hongxiu has been arrested in the capital!"
Luo Ziqiu's expression changed, and he immediately stood up: "What's going on?"
"It's unclear at the moment," the butler said breathlessly. "We only heard from the Gu family that Miss Hongxiu is at the Fifth House, and they need to come and pick her up in person."
Luo Ziqiu frowned: "A fifth family? They have the guts?"
The Gu family is at the height of its power, and now the fifth family wants to go head-to-head with them? Are they crazy?
Luo Ziqiu quickly said, "Tell the Gu family right away that I will go to the fifth house with them."
"Yes, young master." The butler ran out again. "I'll go tell them right away."
Luo Ziqiu called his father and asked him to come and relieve him of his shift, while he booked a plane ticket to the capital.
Regardless, Gu Hongxiu was his fiancée.
Even if his heart has wavered, he can't lose face.
When Luo's father arrived, after hearing what had happened, he agreed wholeheartedly: "Ziqiu, you go ahead. I'll keep an eye on things here."
Luo Ziqiu nodded and left the ward.
Time passed by, second by second.
Under the care of doctors and nurses, Luo Xiu finally regained consciousness and his mind became clear again.
Upon hearing that Luo Ziqiu and the Gu family had gone to the capital two hours earlier, he stared blankly and said, "It's over...it's completely over."
"What?" Mr. Luo was stunned. "How is it over?"
Luo Xiu's teeth chattered and rattled: "The master we've been looking for is Miss Ying, she's Fifth Month's master! And you're asking me why?"
He didn't know what Gu Hongxiu had done, but she was captured by the Fifth Family, so she must have offended Ying Zijin.
Luo's father was also stunned.
With a "thud," the pipe fell from his hand to the ground.
How... is this possible?
"Where's the phone?" Rosh roared. "What are you standing there for? Give it to me now!"
The housekeeper hurriedly handed over the phone.
"Hello, Uncle?" Luo Ziqiu said in a deep voice on the other end of the phone, "I just arrived at the fifth house. It's urgent. We can talk about other things later."
"What? Come back! Come back right now!" Luo Xiu suddenly became anxious and roared, "Don't mess with Master Ying! Don't mess with Miss Yue either! Get back here!"
It's nothing to offend Ying Zijin.
If you offend the people around her, the entire fortune-telling circle in Luonan will be wiped out.
Luo Ziqiu was suddenly stunned: "Uncle, what are you saying?"
He had just finished saying that.
The door to the fifth ancestral home opened automatically.
"You've arrived too." Ying Zijing turned her head slightly and smiled. "Come in and have a seat."

I've finished my second shot. It was a little lighter than the first, but it still hurts a lot _(`」∠)
I listened to a song yesterday, and while listening, I suddenly felt like writing a chivalrous martial arts novel. A few days ago, I also wanted to write a sweet, mutual unrequited love story set in a school.
I have a lot to write about, but I'm terrible at writing, so I'll just vent in my head for a bit and then tell you all about it. _(:з」∠)_
