C137 -[ 6.3 — Strange Tales of Fengjia Town]

Only after making sure that not a single cool breeze would leak out of the window again did Gu Yin turn his head to look again at the priest lying on the bed.

Only after seeing the priest’s frown fade did he breathe a sigh of relief, as if he were relieved.

 

Then, his long serpentine tail swam on the ground as he came to the side of the bed, looking out of his mind as he stared at Jiu Shu.

In fact, he also felt that his thoughts had changed a bit too fast.

After all, his original purpose was to take revenge for Feng Qi and ki-ll the priest.

But now he changed his mind and inexplicably closed the window.

However, as a snake that hated cold weather, closing the window should be reasonable.

As a normal person, it wasn’t right to ki-ll someone.
It would be more appropriate to turn it into a lesson for the priest.

When he thought about it, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with that.

Cocking his head in self-deception, Gu Yin looked at Jiu Shu’s white, almost glowing skin in the dimly lit room.

The cold vertical pupils stared unblinkingly at Jiu Shu’s sleeping face.
Gu Yin didn’t know why, but he just wanted to look at Jiu Shu a few more times.

Maybe it was because he was really too good-looking.

Gu Yin finally understood why those humans were always attracted to Feng Qi.

Encountering a human with a beautiful face would make people want to get close to him.

This was the private lounge of the priest, and as a priest with a taste for luxury, hypocrisy, and greed, his lounge naturally appeared to be extraordinarily elegant and luxurious.

However, it wasn’t overly extravagant.

A variety of light-colored furniture and decorations placed in the spacious lounge, low-profile, revealed a trace of nobility.
 

The room was spacious to the point that even with such a tall and horrible monster as Gu Yin, it didn’t seem crowded at all.
Gu Yin’s pale upper body had a wide skeleton, and when he stood in the room, his head almost reached the ceiling even as he coiled his snaketail.

 

In the dim light, his muscles were clearly defined.

Even from a distance, he looked so tall that it felt weird.
When close up, it would bring an eerie sense of oppression.

This was another part of the reason why Feng Qi didn’t come to see Gu Yin often.

Standing next to this monster that was several times taller than her, her height wasn’t even as high as when he was sitting.

Even if she knew he meant no harm, she would inevitably feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.
It was a fear and rejection of an outsider that was imprinted in human genes.

The sleeping priest, however, didn’t even notice the oppressive feeling that would make all ordinary people feel uncomfortable and remained calm and serene.

 

Although not as gentle as when he was awake, there was more of a mesmerizing serenity.

Staring at Jiu Shu with fascination, Gu Yin’s heart began to beat wildly again in his chest.

He once again suspected that the priest had poisoned him.

 

Then he habitually spat out his long forked tongue, sniffing for various pheromones from his surroundings.

This was one of Gu Yin’s habits when he hunted.

 

Among the mountains and forests, he could usually smell the pheromones emanating from his prey’s activity a thousand meters away.

This could help him accomplish hunting with ease and was a habit that he had formed instinctively a long time ago.

At this point, however, he realized that his sense of smell had become small, so small that it was even confined to this small lounge.

 

In such close proximity, he could feel every breath of Jiu Shu’s.

Even his tongue was filled with the priest’s sweeter than honey scent.

Addicted to the priest’s scent, Gu Yin forgot to explore the matter of poisoning and subconsciously leaned closer and closer.

Even his snake tail unconsciously surrounded the bed.

Stupidly moving, it seemed to want to wrap around the peacefully sleeping human on the bed.

 

From a distance, as a monster of massive size, Gu Yin looked like a truly gigantic python sizing up the human in the bed.

Speculating whether or not he could swallow this human whose thighs weren’t even as thick as his own arm in one bite.

In addition, Gu Yin subconsciously hissed, creating a sinister image of a monster eating people.

If there were outsiders intruding at this time, they would definitely be scared to death by this tall monster with a snake’s tail.

But Gu Yin didn’t notice his own horror.

He just plopped down on the side of the bed and looked at Jiu Shu in a daze.

It wasn’t until an omitted gu burrowed out from underneath Jiu Shu’s pillow and viciously bit his hand that Gu Yin finally came back to his senses.

He backed away in a bit of a panic.

He wasn’t sure how he could have gotten so close to this bad priest.

Although he had given up on the idea of k-illing the priest, as Feng Qi’s best friend, he shouldn’t have any good feelings towards the priest.

Otherwise, there would be no way to become good friends with Feng Qi and borrow her skin.

Touching his face, which was full of scars and stitches, Gu Yin, who finally remembered the right thing, huddled back into the darkness.

His eyes, however, couldn’t help but fall on Jiu Shu.

He began to think about how he could teach the priest a lesson in order to achieve his goal.

After all, he was a man who was loyal to his friends.

If he said he would be angry, he would be angry.
 

Letting the gu take a bite out of the priest was a lesson that wasn’t too big or small; perhaps it was enough to make the priest realize his mistake.

To a Gu Yin who had always lived in the wild, a bite from a gu was almost equivalent to a bite from a mosquito and was considered a very light lesson.

However, looking at Jiu Shu’s skin that was so thin that he could see the green veins, Gu Yin hesitated again.
 

He looked down at the gu on his hand that was still biting him and began to lose himself again.

For an ordinary human, being bitten by a gu should be very serious.

Especially since Jiu Shu’s skin was so thin, it would definitely hurt.

Gu Yin was in a tangle.

Just like this, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, thinking hard.

But it was like that until the faint light of day came through outside the window veil and it was dawn.

He couldn’t come up with a suitable lesson.
Humans were too fragile, and it seemed that every lesson was too heavy for the priest.

Hissing, Gu Yin tugged at his long, dark hair, his brow furrowed as he wondered what the best thing to do would be.

Tick-tock-.
The alarm clock on the bedside table went off.
Jiu Shu opened his eyes, only just waking up from his sleep with a dazed frown, but after a few moments he was completely awake.

He sat up and looked at the empty room, with faint snaketail crawling marks on the ground.

The floors of his room were carpeted, so he could easily see the marks.

Jiu Shu looked at them for a moment before withdrawing his gaze and starting to wash up.

As the only priest in the church, he needed to lead the believers in prayer every day, and today was naturally no exception.

After washing up and putting on the white robe that the original owner always wore, Jiu Shu simply tied his long black hair behind his head and walked out of the room.

At this time, it had just reached six o’clock, and the believers in the church had not yet come.

After all, the original owner wasn’t really a very hardworking person; it was only for the sake of profit that he had been pretending to be moralistic in front of the townspeople.

Although he insisted on saying mass every day, the time wasn’t really early, and he usually didn’t start praying until □□□ in the morning.

Moreover, when it was said to be Mass, it was in fact essentially for the purpose of brainwashing the townspeople.

To make them all believe in God and be willing to keep donating money to the church in order to ascend to heaven after death.

After every Mass, the original owner got a decent amount of money for his trouble.

And the believers who had been hoodwinked by the original owner were still grateful that the priest had given them a shortcut to atonement.
Jiu Shu walked behind the prayer table on the altar and looked through the Bible.

Compared to the gods of other worlds that Jiu Shu had experienced, the god this time was considered a normal god in the universal sense.

There weren’t too many miracles; there were just legends in the Bible and a sense of existence that was there if one believed in it, but not if one didn’t.

Jiu Shu initially judged that this was a god that didn’t exist.

After all, in this small world, although there were many strange and weird sects, materialism still dominated.

Other than the general corruption and bribery of the personnel in the church, everything in the God sect was normal.

Rather, it was these believers who were very abnormal.

Jiu Shu looked at the names on the church’s roster of believers, his peach blossom-like eyes narrowing slightly.

In this town that barely numbered over a thousand people, the number of believers was much more than nearly half.

 

This was unimaginable in other large cities.

And many of the names of these believers had appeared in the original plot.

Only most of them appeared as foolish fanatics.

In the original, most of the townspeople who appeared in this town were eccentric in nature, firmly believing in the gods they believed in and willing to give everything for them.

Fanatical to the point of near insanity.

Before the church was built, they believed in various gods and were addicted to witchcraft.

 

After being bewitched by the priest, they became completely obsessed with the Church of God and did everything the priest said.

They were like the classic image of stupid villagers in many literary works, without much wisdom.

But they were unusually trusting of the gods and goddesses.
They liked to gossip behind people’s backs, and they liked to use the violence of the majority to oppress the weak and exclude outliers.

Easily encouraged and provoked.

Greedy and foolish.

Yet also the best small characters to control.

Opening the system panel, Jiu Shu looked at the original plot.

These townspeople who believed in God were the main force that would split up the object of punishment in the original.

After all, in the original, at least on the surface, it was Gu Yin who ki-lled the priest.

The townspeople who had lost hope of ascending to heaven almost went mad and naturally hated Gu Yin with a passion, eager to split him into five pieces.

“We must avenge the priest!”

“It was the monster that killed the priest! Killed our merciful priest!”

“We must kill him to console the priest’s soul in heaven, so that the priest won’t mind that we didn’t protect him, and then our past offerings might still be valid!”

“Exactly! Kill that monster!”

The townspeople were red-eyed, with bulging veins on their foreheads, as if they were going crazy.

That was the first time Feng Qi had ever seen the townspeople so agitated, and she hid in her boyfriend’s arms, not daring to breathe, wondering if what they were going to do next was right or not.

 

The townspeople, each with an iron fork and hoe in their hands, walked in the direction of the mountains and forests.
In a trance, Feng Qi actually felt that the townspeople at this moment were more like wild beasts than Gu Yin.

Like hyenas, they were greedy and vicious, ready to bite and devour any prey that appeared in front of them.
 

Jiu Shu lowered his eyes and flipped through the contents of the original movie, clicking on the spin-off of the original.

The same townspeople appeared in it.

In the movie, the college students who broke into the town were entangled by the residual resentment in the town, experiencing the scene when Gu Yin died back then.

Student A screamed in horror, and in the next second, he realized that everything around him had changed, and it was as if he had turned into another person and was being pressed to the ground by countless townspeople with repulsive faces.

 

Although these townspeople had a human form, each one of their faces was a pale mask, and they were smiling at him strangely.

 

Hiss-

His head was the first to be chopped off.

 

Psst–

 

A let out a mournful scream as the first axe was chopped down.

 

The unprecedented pain made him almost psychotic.

 

Even more terrifying was the fact that the people holding the axe screamed out in misery as the gu that erupted from the wounds hurt the people around them.

 

This resulted in the axe not completely severing the neck but leaving behind fleshy skin connected to unbroken bones.

 

Therefore, it was only possible to replace the person who chopped down the second axe.

 

But that person wasn’t strong enough and could only use it like a saw, trying to cut through his hard bones and those blood vessels and meridians that were trying to bond back together.

The recovery ability of this body was too strong, and the neck that couldn’t be chopped off at once would try to heal back up after a few moments.

But at this point in time, the strong recovery ability was undoubtedly a kind of torture.

The body kept instinctively repairing the damage, only to bring about an even more painful injury the next time.

This lingering pain drove A completely insane.

He cried so much that he couldn’t even tell if it was himself or this body itself that was crying.
 

The sense of fear made A about to break down.

He didn’t know why he was going through all this and could only feel his body being torn apart.

The snake tail on the lower half of his body was difficult to cut because of the overly hard scales, but even the hardest scales couldn’t resist the power of a human chainsaw.

With the sound of the chainsaw being pulled, bloo-d mixed with countless gu splattered out.

He tried to resist, but the effect of the large portion of anesthetics made him groggy, unable to exert a single ounce of strength.

He could only desperately endure the pain of having his body sliced open alive.

With the ghastly sound of a chainsaw, broken flesh flew across his body as his chest cavity was opened and his internal organs were pulled out.
 

A pair of blo-odstained palms greedily grabbed his flesh and bloo-d, devouring it.
 

It wasn’t until the head was completely separated that A found himself suddenly looking past the ghastly figures swaying in front of him to a pair of figures not far away.
Especially at the sight of the hypocritical, grotesquely grinning masks of the two men, A felt his resentment go to the extreme.

 

–Ki-ll!

–Ki-ll them!

 

–Ki-ll everyone!

 

A heard the man’s voice again, and this time, the man’s voice seemed even more maniacal.

 

Every word seemed to drip bloo-d.

 

A finally realized that these scenes were the source of the human’s resentment.

 

It was the townspeople who ki-lled the human hu.

 

“Good morning, Father!”

 

“Good morning, Father!”

 

Just as Jiu Shu watched the movie, many believers had come to the church one after another.

 

They were all filled with piety and looked at Jiu Shu standing on the stage in awe, greeting him with a not-so-standard prayer posture.

 

When Jiu Shu heard the voices, he hid the darkness in his eyes.

 

Raising his head, his beautiful eyes curved slightly, his pupils reflecting the haggard yet fervent expressions of these townspeople.

 

It was different from the abhorrent expressions in the original plot when facing Gu Yin.

 

When facing Jiu Shu, the priest, these townspeople were as meek as the lambs described in the Bible.

 

Totally obedient to the priest’s words.

 

“Good morning, all.”

Today’s mass was about to begin.

 

Jiu Shu looked at the faithful with a smile.

 

Under the refraction of light from the colored windows behind him, the gentle smile on his face was like the presence of a god in the world, giving people a sense of affection and trust.

 

The believers under the stage looked at the priest on the stage, their eyes becoming more and more fervent.

 

In their eyes, the priest was indeed an existence comparable to a god.

 

He would gently answer their every confusion and even gave them a shortcut to heaven—undoubtedly an angel who came to them in God’s place.

 

Mass began.

 

Jiu Shu skillfully said his prayers.

 

When he lowered his eyes, even the fluttering of his eyelashes was as beautiful as butterfly wings.

 

It was the image that best fit the incarnation of God in the hearts of the believers.

 

The believers under the stage were mesmerized and prayed more and more devoutly.

 

And everyone didn’t notice that in the unknown corner of the church, there was a terrible human snake monster that was quietly spying on this scene.

 

The monster was hiding in the dark corner, hiding its long, ugly snaketail, staring blankly at the priest who was standing in the church hall celebrating mass.

 

Neither the blinking eyes of the priest nor his rosy lips as he recited the scriptures made him avert his eyes.

 

Compared to the shadowy monster that he was, the priest standing in the sunlight was as dazzling and pure as a god.

 

He was ashamed of himself.

 

Somewhat inferior, the monster lowered his head, not daring to continue looking.

 

The unknown stolen joy that spread in the bottom of his heart when they shared a room before seemed to dissipate in an instant.

In its place was a strong sense of cowardice.

He looked at his pale palms and the suture marks all over them and reached out his hand as if he wanted to touch his cheek, but eventually stopped moving and did not continue.

 

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to borrow Feng Qi’s face sooner.

That way he wouldn’t have to keep using this ugly face.

This face that no one would like.

But he hadn’t become very good friends with Feng Qi yet.

Because he hadn’t been able to help her out.

But to help her out, he would have to hurt the priest.

That wasn’t good.

It wasn’t what normal people did.

Caught in a dead loop, Gu Yin was lost and depressed, lowering his head without knowing what he was thinking.

Only the sound of sharp black nails sinking deep into the flesh and tearing at the skin came through.

*

After an unknown amount of time, the mass in the church finally drew to a close.

As Jiu Shu stopped praying, the townspeople also got up to end today’s mass.

However, they didn’t leave but instead looked at Jiu Shu on the stage with a face full of joy and longing, wanting to get a little closer.
 

That way they could be the first to pay for a ticket to heaven.

Although they had almost lost all their money in the past few months to pay for the coupons, they didn’t regret it in the slightest.

Now it was even more so that they were ready to pay more money.

As long as they could get more happiness after death, then all the sufferings in this world would not matter.
 

However, this time, their shortcut was rejected by Jiu Shu.

Jiu Shu announced that he would no longer collect the money.

The church was instantly in an uproar.

Countless people looked at Jiu Shu in horror, as if they were afraid that it was their own sins that God had refused to forgive and that they could only end up falling into hell.

“Father, why! Is it because our sins are too deep?”

“Oooh… no, please, Father, forgive my sins and don’t refuse my atonement!”

 

“God, I pray that you forgive my sins.”
 

Looking at the panicked townspeople, the gentle smile on Jiu Shu’s face remained unchanged.

Making a gesture of a little peace before continuing, “It’s not that God has given up on us; he wants to forgive us in a different way.”

“Like making more and more Lambs of God.”

 

A smile played on Jiu Shu’s lips; his arched brow seemed gentle and harmless, and his tone was highly compelling.

 

“Lambs?”

The townspeople murmured and repeated.

“Yes, lambs like you; the more lambs you bring, the more you will become the Lord’s most favored lambs.” Jiu Shu replied in a calm tone, using the words from the Bible in his hand.

Looking at Jiu Shu’s long and handsome robed figure that grew longer and longer under the light, the believers in the church understood Jiu Shu’s meaning and immediately turned red with excitement.
This excited them even more than the money.

Without thinking, they exuberantly threw up their arms and catered, saying that they would bring more lambs to God; that way they could become believers favored by God.

It was obvious that the townspeople had become even more irrational now than in the past, when they were deceived by the original owner.

It seemed that they had become convinced that Jiu Shu was the spokesperson of God in reality and were obedient to his words.
 

There wasn’t even a single dissenting voice that appeared, all of them believing in these words.

This kind of situation was to be expected.

After all, in this feudal and closed town, the townspeople’s eccentric personalities were inherently destined to be easily compelled.
 

Even the original owner’s not-so-subtle hypocritical gentleness was able to bluff them into a frenzy, and Jiu Shu, as a taskmaster who had actually been an angel, would naturally make it even more impossible for them to discern truth from falsehood.

Jiu Shu looked at these townspeople who were foolish to the extreme with a smile on his face, and a meaningful light flashed in his eyes.
In fact, he had always had a guess in his heart.

Although it was not explicitly stated in the original story, analyzing the details, Jiu Shu guessed that the death of the priest in the original story should be related to another power in the town.
That was, the power of the shrine represented by the male lead could not be unrelated.

After all, the death of the priest in the original story was just too coincidental.

It just happened to be the time when the monster was known to exist by the townspeople, and it also just happened to be the time when the priest resented the diminishing amount collected and was preparing to collect believers on a large scale once again.

If it was the same as what he had guessed, then his current practice of proliferating believers was tantamount to officially declaring w-ar on the shrine.

If the shrine’s side was truly not harboring good intentions, then they should soon be enraged into making a move.

Jiu Shu was looking forward to the day when they did so.

Thinking like this, Jiu Shu looked at the believers who were wildly cheering under the stage.

He then cast his gaze to the corner of the church.
There was nothing there.

The monster that had been staying in the corner seemed to have left.

He hung his head as he left.

He didn’t notice in the slightest that the handsome priest who stood on the stage in all his glory, seemingly separated from him by two worlds, had been glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.

Looking at the empty corner, Jiu Shu paused and withdrew his gaze.

He was likewise looking forward to the next arrival of the object of discipline.

*
The cicadas chirped in the summer afternoon.

Feng Qi, as usual, came to find her boyfriend, Feng Yun, who had just established a relationship not long ago.

But she gets another pushback from her boyfriend.

“I’m really busy today; Xiao Qi can play by herself today.”

Feng Yun frowned tightly, barely taking a moment to reply to his girlfriend.

That damned priest—he didn’t know what kind of wind he had drawn in the past few days.

Breaking the originally agreed upon pattern of the town, he began to encourage the believers to develop the faithful.

He was simply too deceitful.

It was just a foreign sect of gods, yet he was actually arrogant to this extent.

Feng Yun really couldn’t stand it.

Although he was a person who had read books in a big city outside, he was still feudal and conservative in his bones and determined that the town’s shrine was the root of the townspeople.

The ancestors were the ones they should believe in.

 

This was the tradition of Feng Jia Town for thousands of years.

 

As the orthodox heir of the Feng Family Town’s ancestral hall, Feng Yun had always been proud of this.

As a result, as soon as he returned home now, he was faced with the current situation of the townspeople being robbed of a large portion by that priest, making it hard for Feng Yun to accept it for a while.

When Feng Qi heard Feng Yun’s words, she immediately revealed a dissatisfied expression.

“Busy busy busy! You’re busy all day!”

Feng Qi was really fed up with her boyfriend’s perfunctory behavior.

Every time she came to him for a date, he would only deal with her by saying he was busy, not taking her seriously at all.

Feng Qi was so excited that she turned around and left.

Feng Yun, on the other hand, looked at his girlfriend’s exasperated back, and his eyes flashed.
 

He knew that his girlfriend must have gone to look for that monster again.

Feng Yun thought of this and took out a book in the dark compartment of his study.

It was an ancient book that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Feng family, recording all the lost methods of gu refining.

Flipping through one of the pages about the refining method of human gu, Feng Yun’s expression was puzzled.

After a long time, he seemed to have thought of some wonderful solution, and he revealed a smile.

 

*

Feng Qi was infuriated and walked straight to the outside of the town.

Since the shrine was located in the center of the town, one would need to cross half of the town when leaving the town.

Feng Qi walked along the road with an ugly expression, pursing her lips as she sulked, and before she could continue to complain about her boyfriend’s indifference in her heart, she suddenly realized that there were more townspeople on the streets recently.

Even in the heat of the afternoon, they were not seen hiding in their houses to cool off, but instead wandering around.

Every now and then, they bumped into a townspeople and pulled others to keep them there, and a bunch of them got together and mumbled something under their breath.

Feng Qi listened carefully and heard words of praise about God, saying that those who believe in God can live forever and go to heaven, and so on.

There were even people who had discovered Feng Qi and were running all the way to Feng Qi to advise her to believe in God.

Feng Qi looked at the weird fervor on these people’s faces and couldn’t help but rub the goosebumps on her body and busily ran away.

She had stayed in the house for the past two days without going out, and she couldn’t help but be a little creeped out when she realized this weird status quo only today.

It was only after avoiding those believers that Feng Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that it must be that priest who made another mess.

It wasn’t enough to cause the townspeople to pay and have their homes destroyed, but now he wanted to cause more people to fall into the abyss.
For a while, Feng Qi hated the priest with a passion.

Until she walked out of the town and came to the mountain clearing where she usually met with Gu Yin, she was still filled with anger.

“That fellow, the priest, has already made so much money and still doesn’t know how to be satisfied; I think he wants to be the emperor of the land!”

“His conscience is simply rotten to the bone.”

As usual, Feng Qi opened his mouth to spit on the priest.
 

As she spoke, she waited for Gu Yin to good-naturedly agree with her.
Gu Yin had always answered to Feng Qi, following her like a follower, answering whatever she asked.

Feng Qi had long since taken it as a habit, thinking that Gu Yin was a very qualified emotional trash can.

However, this time it was a bit strange; she waited for half a day but didn’t get Gu Yin’s concurrence.
 

At first, she thought it was because Gu Yin wasn’t here, but in the next second, she heard the familiar hissing of snakes from above her head.

Hissing-

Feng Qi turned his head in uncertainty and shouted, ”Gu Yin? Why don’t you come down when you’re here?”

Before the words left her mouth, Feng Qi suddenly stopped her voice, inexplicably feeling a chill all over her body.

Especially the position of her face, it was stared at by a sinister and terrifying gaze.

It was like a sharp knife that could cut open her face skin at any time.
Feng Qi followed her gaze and saw the figure of a human body with a serpent’s tail entwined in the large tree across the street.

The moment she met eyes with those inorganic vertical pupils, Feng Qi only felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her face turned pale.

It was really strange; obviously, Gu Yin was still as expressionless as before, with little change in expression.

His eyes were also as cold as usual.

But this time, it just made her feel fear and uneasiness.
 

It was as if Gu Yin was thinking of something terrible.
 

“What’s wrong with you, Gu Yin?” Feng Qi stuttered a little uneasily.

The monster with a human body and a snake’s tail slid down the tree and stared at Feng Qi for a while as if he were hunting for food before slowly speaking, “Your face is very pretty.”

 

He actually wanted to ask if he could borrow it.

But the TV said that friends couldn’t just borrow important belongings.

Otherwise, it would be harmful to friendships, not something normal people should do.

But borrowing from each other seemed to be okay.

 

Snap-snap-snap-

Feng Qi saw a large handful of jewels in Gu Yin’s hand that appeared at an unknown time, broken jade scattered from between his fingers.

 

It looked very much like a burial object pulled out of an ancient tomb; the dirt on it hadn’t even been completely removed.

“These beautiful stones—do you want them?” Gu Yin’s voice was the characteristic magnetism of a male and still carried the naïve anticipation of a teenager.

“Wow, what a beautiful necklace.”

Feng Qi was originally still scared, but her eyes immediately lit up when she saw one of the necklaces, clearly liking the look of it.

She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch the necklace that was carved out of jade.
 

The next second, however, she suddenly paused and looked up into Gu Yin’s gaze, overlooking her.

Although Gu Yin’s lower body was a snake’s tail, the height of his upper body was still very high. Even if she stood slightly upright, he was still much taller than her, making him appear particularly tall when viewed from above.

 

At this moment, Gu Yin’s icy pupils seemed to be filled with bright hope.

It looked innocent and harmless, but Feng Qi’s sharp intuition made her stiffen up.

It seemed that as long as she accepted this necklace, something extremely horrible would happen. Feng Qi’s fingers stopped in mid-air, and she didn’t dare to touch the necklace.

TN:

She wants an emotional trash can, he wants her face; what a nice friendship 🧐

He’s innocent, your honour 👩‍⚖️!!!
