Chapter 269: The Tagalong Lu Ayao stared at me for a moment, his strength locked in a brief stalemate with my hand. Suddenly, he twisted my wrist, wrenching me up off the floor by force. He turned to Lu Qianshan and said, "See our guest out." My hand was brushed aside, and I watched as Lu Ayao slipped out of the room. Seeing this, Lu Qianshan immediately stepped forward with a quick stride to block me. Speaking in a normal tone while looking at me, he asked, "Young Master Gan, isn't this persistent…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 270: Linggu The long-distance bus pulled off the highway and dropped passengers at the station. I followed close behind Lu Qianshan as he skirted around to the parking lot and climbed into a dilapidated sedan. I hopped in after him, and as soon as he buckled his seatbelt, he started driving toward the middle of nowhere. For a moment, I honestly thought he was looking for a secluded spot to do away with me. It wasn't until I saw several antique courtyard houses clustered together that I…

- Chapter 271: The Lu Family Ancestral Hall When I walked into the front hall carrying my bag on my back, Lu Ling was sitting in a chair, having just finished a cup of tea. She glanced at me, set down her teacup, and stood up. She walked silently until she was standing right in front of me. I watched her with a complicated expression as she leaned close to my ear. She whispered, "Don't you want to know the truth? Follow me. I'll tell you everything." My expression shifted. Having said her piece, Lu…

- Chapter 272: The Sinner My heart skipped a violent beat. Lu Ling spoke slowly. "The outsider Master Jiyun saved all those years ago was the first ancestor of our Lu Clan. Our ancestor was originally an ordinary hunter. While gathering herbs on the mountain, he was bitten by a venomous snake. His life hung by a thread until Master Jiyun fed him a piece of Houtu Blood, bringing him back from the brink of death." This was a story from the distant past. I didn't interrupt Lu Ling, letting her…

- Chapter 259: Yellow Sands Tian Xiaoqi and I were both people of action. It was mostly a case of newborn calves not fearing the tiger; once we set a goal, we moved immediately. This group was more extravagant than us, using several flashlights at once as they threaded through the stone crevices. These lights served an important purpose: even if we didn't follow closely, we could still determine their position and numbers. Since we were hidden in the dark and they were unaware of our presence, this was…

- Chapter 261: Miss Xiaoqi He Yu clearly thought this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but as the saying goes, "one does not believe in ghosts and gods until one has suffered." I was in a pathetic state—limbs weak, face pale, without a shred of strength left. The fissure was exceptionally narrow, forcing He Yu to drag me along as he crawled forward. Even with all that jostling, my eyelids kept drooping as I drifted in and out of consciousness. Eventually, I began to lose all sensation of my…

- Chapter 262: The Giant Centipede People naturally become desensitized when sudden tragedy strikes. The moment a blow falls, the mind triggers a defense mechanism that provides a temporary escape from the pain. This is why He Yu and I sat there in a daze for a long time after Tian Xiaoqi stopped breathing in my arms. We sat so long that time seemed to lose all meaning. The blood on my hands had turned cold. A chilly wind blew in from outside the tent, making He Yu shudder. He jolted to his senses,…

- Chapter 264: Adding Insult to Injury We retreated from the mouth of the fissure back into its depths to lay low. Whenever we raised our flashlights, though, we could still see the murals on the opposite wall. The giant centipede returned to patrol every now and then. If I wasn't mistaken, this was its territory. There was no telling how high this cliff actually was. Our flashlights couldn't reach the top, but going down wasn't an option either. Once we hit the ground, without the protection of the…
