Baili Yu looked at “Bai Wanxi” with a glint in his eyes. A gentle expression appeared on his face and he walked towards her affectionately.
“Xi’er, where have you been these past few days? Do you know how worried I was about you? Come here and give me a hug.” Baili Yu smiled and walked towards “Bai Wanxi”.
Baili Yu didn’t notice a cold aura surrounding him, as well as the two sharp claws extending from behind the fake Bai Wanxi.
The two sharp claws were hidden behind “Bai Wanxi”. She was waiting for Baili Yu to come closer so that she could tear his throat apart.
Baili Yu looked at “Bai Wanxi” with love in his eyes. He opened his arms and walked towards her.
Just as Baili Yu was about to hug her, the sharp claws behind “Bai Wanxi” moved and went straight for his throat.
The sharp claws stirred up a cold wind and were about to cut Baili Yu’s throat.
However, at this critical moment, Baili Yu suddenly thrust his palm forward. The sharp dagger instantly pierced through “Bai Wanxi’s” chest.
“Bai Wanxi’s” movements instantly stiffened. Her sharp claws stopped just short of Baili Yu’s throat, failing to touch a single strand of his hair.
Baili Yu’s gentle expression instantly disappeared. He pulled out his dagger from “Bai Wanxi’s” chest with an emotionless face.
Fresh blood spurted out and landed on his face, but Baili Yu didn’t even blink. Head slightly lowered, he stared at the monster who looked like Bai Wanxi and said in a chilly voice, “Do you think you are worthy enough to impersonate my beloved?”
The monster shrieked and collapsed to the ground in pain. Its appearance started to morph and its expression became twisted. It reached out a hand like it wanted to grab him. “Aaahhh, my disguise was supposed to be perfect! How did you manage to tell? You’re just an ordinary person. You shouldn’t know anything!”
This was Baili Yu’s first time killing someone. Even though the monster before him no longer looked anything like a human, his hands still trembled.
Nevertheless, although Baili Yu’s heart thumped easily, his expression remained calm.
Taking a deep breath, he said coldly, “I don’t understand anything about monsters or immortal techniques, but I know my beloved. I know Xi’er inside out. A freak like you will never be able to impersonate my beloved.”
The monster widened its eyes and glared at him. It continued to glare indignantly at him even until its last breath.
Gasping, Baili Yu collapsed to the ground in a seated position. He rubbed the floor vigorously, trying to calm himself down.
Baili Yu felt troubled after he managed to compose himself.
“I shouldn’t have immediately killed it. This monster escaped from the barrier and headed directly for the Bai residence. It’s obvious that it is not just a simple monster. Perhaps it knew where Xi’er is. It’s a pity to kill it just like that.” Baili Yu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
A cold chuckle drifted from behind him.
“I thought you were just a useless fool. Didn’t expect you to have some wits about you.”
