Chapter 64: Cooperate With Me And It Will Not Hurt.

Under the moonlight, on a cold and windy night, both Qi Ci and Bian Zhonghua were cornered. One was aware of it, while the other was not.

At that moment, there was a hissing sound accompanied by the screams inside the room. Through the roof of the room, that thing approached Bian Zhonghua in an instant, aiming straight at his Gate of Vitality1!

The next second, Bian Zhonghua, who was fearless, suddenly reached out and stabbed the whistling gust of wind. After grabbing the strange monster, he struggled to the outside of the room and fell on the ground.

That thing immediately flew out of the room, crashed through the wooden door, and ferociously collided with the trunk of a tree, landing on the ground and leaning limp against said tree.

Under the bright moonlight, you could see that it was a frightening looking man, with arms longer than his knees, no hair, and extremely wrinkled skin. His eyes were long and slender, while his mouth was split to the root of his ears.

Bian Zhonghua kicked open the fragment of the wooden door, walked to the human-like monster, and said: “Is this what the man in feathery clothes looks like?”

All of a sudden, that monster opened its eyes, and the scarlet snake-like tongue leapt out of its mouth, wrapping itself around Bian Zhonghua’s neck!

However, Bian Zhonghua wasn’t scared. With a tap of his finger, a shining dagger immediately emerged from his sleeve, cutting off the snake-like tongue.

The monster howled miserably, and only half of the snake-like tongue was left in his mouth, waving with blood. Then, that monster was mercilessly tossed by Bian Zhonghua.

At the same time, another miserable howl was heard inside the room.

The owner of such a sound turned out to be a Gongzi, who was knocked down by another human-like monster. When Bian Zhonghua saw that this creature was about to slice open the Gongzi’s stomach, he sent several bright daggers his way, all of which the creature hastily dodged.

The other two Secret Servants, with their respective swords in hand, looked at each other. Then, they attacked the creature left and right, forcing him out of the room.

Right next to the trunk of the tree, the dragon pattern on Bian Zhonghua’s right shoulder faintly glowed red. He had a smile on his face that made him look as warm as water, however, this emotion didn’t match his actions to the slightest. With a single hand, Bian Zhonghua took the creature’s tongue and pulled it out with great force.

The creature then covered its mouth, which was spurting with blood, and howled instantly. Each howl was more miserable than the last.

Bian Zhonghua, without hesitation, or saying any unnecessary words, picked up the dagger and directly slit the creature’s throat. The miserable voice suddenly disappeared, and the creature fell crookedly to the ground.

Bian Zhonghua then patted the dust off his hands, stood upright, smiled, and said to the group of Gongzi still standing inside the room, who had long been paralyzed with fear: “Alright, as you talk about what just happened, who will drink the bowl of medicine next?”

…

On the other side of the Residence, Qi Ci recognized the person outside his room, who was still frantically knocking on the door. It was Lu Yu. This, of course, shocked Qi Ci to the core: “Lu-lu-lu Yu?”

“Your Highness, help! Help me!”

Since he was still desperately shouting outside the room, Qi Ci rushed to open the door in a panic.

However, as soon as Qi Ci’s hand touched the door, he stopped moving.

After all, there were supposed to be Guards outside Qi Ci’s room. Since Lu Yu was shouting as fiercely as this, why were the Guards doing nothing?

If the Guards just so happened to have been killed by the man in feathered clothes, then why was Lu Yu still alive?

Moreover, if Lu Yu was being chased by that monster and ran into the Residence in the middle of the night to seek help, he should have bumped into the patrolling Guards first and foremost. Then, the Guards should have led Lu Yu to the west side of the Residence to find Bian Zhonghua and the other two Secret Servants….

‘Why did he come to me?’

‘What’s the point of looking for me?’

‘I don’t know anything about getting rid of monsters and demons!’

‘Is he trying to die together with me?!’

It was so weird. So strange.

Qi Ci immediately withdrew his hand from the door and bravely shouted: “Where are the Guards guarding the door?”

At that moment, the knocking stopped, and the room fell into silence again. It was extremely frightening.

Then, a gloomy, cold voice came from the other side of the door: “They’re all dead. As for your three Secret Servants, they have some skills. They even prepared in advance and protected your wing. However, it’s all in vain.”

Then, a scarlet snake tongue slowly reached through the gap under the door. But only for a while, because the snake tongue was suddenly caught on fire. At the same time, a horrible hissing sound came from the other side of the door. Not only did it sound like the person was experiencing extreme pain, but it was also accompanied by the characteristic sound of something being burned.

The snake tongue twisted wildly in the air until it gradually moved towards the door bolt. Qi Ci then reacted at the right time and raised the brass candlestick he had picked up not that long ago, only to smash it hard against the snake tongue.

However, the brass candlestick didn’t hit the ground, because the snake tongue had wrapped itself around Qi Ci’s wrist. Then, the snake tongue pulled him towards the door fiercely, forcing Qi Ci to smash the brass candlestick onto the door.

When the candlestick hit the wooden door with a loud noise, the overburdened door was immediately smashed until a hole was made. Then, the snake tongue loosened its grip on Qi Ci’s wrist, wrapped itself around the candlestick, and continued to smash the door.

After three times, when the door was finally broken, the door was gradually opened.

Then, Qi Ci saw the strange man he had seen twice before standing at the door. That man fell down on the ground abruptly, and his whole body was covered with burn marks, while the snake-like tongue came out of his mouth scorched to the point of turning black.

At that moment, a man stepped around the body of the strange man.

It was Lu Yu.

Lu Yu slightly regretted seeing the tragic death of his son as he laid on the ground, but then he said: “It was a mistake. I didn’t expect the runes inside this room to be so strong. But it’s alright.” As he said this, Lu Yu smiled and stroked his bulging belly. Then, he raised his head to look at Qi Ci strangely.

Qi Ci wasn’t willing to show any weakness, so he stared back at Lu Yu with determination: “You hide very well, why show up now? Are you really that determined to die?”

Lu Yu said: “His Highness must be joking. Weren’t you concerned about me not long ago? Since that was the case, I came here to return your gifts. Your Highness, don’t be afraid. Cooperate with me and it will not hurt.”

Qi Ci sneered and quietly stepped back. All of a sudden, he picked up a flower vase from a table and viciously smashed it at Lu Yu.

However, Lu Yu stepped sideways, appearing right in front of Qi Ci in an instant!!

Before Qi Ci could even understand how Lu Yu had approached him in the twinkle of an eye, he was grabbed by the neck!

Lu Yu strangled Qi Ci mercilessly, slamming Qi Ci’s head violently on the wall. At that moment, blood immediately fell from Qi Ci’s head, staining half his face with red.

""

Qi Ci fainted in pain.

“You can’t distinguish between good and bad.” As he said this, Lu Yu rudely threw Qi Ci onto the bed. At the same time, all the doors and windows in the room were closed tightly.
