Chapter 579: The Ghost Claw Appears Again
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She had expected Xie Mingxuan to go missing. As long as the talisman around Xie Mingxuan’s neck hadn’t been removed in the afternoon, she could find him with the Tracking Talisman at any time. There was no hurry!
In the luxurious villa, Zhou Manning was very excited when she saw that Perfected Wu had caught Xie Mingxuan. Ever since she found out that Xie Mingxuan had very good luck, she dreamed all the time of Perfected Wu borrowing luck for her.
It was a pity that Xie Mingxuan was too sharp and had found an expert somewhere. It hadn’t been easy for Perfected Wu to try borrowing his luck, and he had failed.
Zhou Manning was very angry. Fortunately, Perfected Wu was smart, and was able to abduct Xie Mingxuan.
Zhou Manning couldn’t help but ask excitedly, “Perfected Wu, when can we borrow luck again?”
Perfected Wu’s face was very unsightly because he had lost one of his disciples, Yang Zhaoning. Of course, it wasn’t because he had any affection for Yang Zhaoning, but that her soul had inexplicably been destroyed, which was a huge slap to his face.. He never thought he would provoke a ruthless Celestial Master or someone from an ancient martial art family over a few insignificant ghosts.
Between the two, Perfected Wu had provoked the former. If it was someone from an ancient martial art family, it wouldn’t be easy to clean up the mess. However, a member of an ancient martial art family wasn’t likely to raise ghosts, so it was more likely a Celestial Master.
After bleeding this Xie person and borrowing his luck, he would find a place to refine the Blood Pill and cultivate before he got his revenge.
Wu Fuzhang’s eyes flashed coldly as he stared at the unconscious man on the floor as if he was looking at a dead man.
He said coldly to the woman in front of him, “Do you want to borrow luck first or kill that malicious ghost first? Where’s the corpse?”
Zhou Manning swallowed her saliva. She had never told the other party about Zhou Manqing’s corpse all this time because of her guilty conscience. At that moment, Zhou Manning didn’t dare look directly at Perfected Wu in front of her. She felt that the other party would be able to see through her thoughts the moment she looked up. Zhou Manning stuttered, “Bor… borrow luck!”
Wu Fuzhang snorted, and Zhou Manning immediately found an excuse to go to the washroom.
With Perfected Wu around, Zhou Manning was still very at ease. Moreover, that malicious ghost, Zhou Manqing, hadn’t come looking for her recently. It was probably because she was afraid of Perfected Wu.
Thinking of how she would be borrowing luck later, Zhou Manning was in a very good mood. She hummed a tune as she went to the washroom.
When she pressed the flush on the toilet, it didn’t go down. Zhou Manning felt a little helpless. She pressed the flush a few times, but it wouldn’t go down. Zhou Manning didn’t think much of it, and just washed her hands and looked in the mirror.
The mirrors in this villa weren’t sealed. Thinking of Perfected Wu’s presence and the talismans on her, she didn’t have to be afraid, so she tidied herself up in the mirror.
Suddenly, there was a pain in her shoulder. Zhou Manning’s face subconsciously stiffened as she looked at her left shoulder. Although she didn’t see anything, her sharp eyes still clearly picked out a small cut in her dress.
This was her first time wearing this gauze dress after she bought it today. When she bought it, she had specially checked, and there hadn’t been any small holes in it. Zhou Manning thought of something, and her face suddenly froze. She had probably been doing too well these days, and she had almost forgotten how she had been tortured by Zhou Manqing’s malicious ghost until she wished she was dead.
At that moment, the malicious ghost that wanted to kill her had appeared again. Zhou Manning was so scared that her blood froze and her limbs turned cold. Her fingers trembled and twitched.
No, no, she couldn’t let that malicious ghost sense that she had already been discovered. Yes, Perfected Wu was still here. She had to get Perfected Wu to subdue this malicious ghost first, even if it meant exposing the fact that she had committed murder.
Zhou Manning squeezed out a smile with difficulty and continued to look at herself in the mirror with a stiff face; she didn’t dare look at her aching left shoulder at all. She subconsciously pretended that nothing had happened, and flushed the toilet again. This time, when she pressed the flush, there was a thick smell of blood, and the liquid in the toilet was shockingly bright red human blood.
Zhou Manning immediately couldn’t care less about pretending to be calm. She was scared witless and ran outside. As she ran, she screamed in horror, “Perfected Wu, help! Perfected Wu, help! Help!”
