In his eyes, he could kill anyone in this world.
Liu Shun sat on the edge of the bed and waited quietly for the sky to darken. When the last ray of sunlight disappeared, the sky gradually turned from gray to black.
The young ladies got out of the carriage and entered the princess’s mansion one after another. Night after night, they were safe and sound. The number of people who came to the princess’s mansion had also slowly decreased.
Xia Qiluo did not mind that. If someone came, she would just give them some space to spend the night.
People walked into the princess’s mansion one after another. They stepped into the courtyard, and into the house.
Bang!
Something smashed heavily on the ground, scaring the girls into screaming.
…..
When they saw what had fallen, screams filled the air.
It was a corpse.
Xia Qiluo came out of the house. The servant carefully turned the corpse over. Xia Qiluo frowned and instructed coldly. “Take it out and burn it.”
Xia Qiluo did not expect Liu Shun to throw his mother’s corpse here. How could a human do such a thing?
Xia Qiluo looked at the frightened women and said coldly, “Come to the room.”
The ten or so women were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They trembled and followed her. With Xia Qiluo around, they seemed to be more at ease.
Looking at Xia Qiluo meditating calmly, someone mustered her courage and asked. “Seventh Princess, will we be taken away again?”
Xia Qiluo replied in a stern voice. “Being afraid won’t prevent you from being caught. So, what’s the point of being afraid?”
Xia Qiluo closed her eyes and ignored a few people who were trying to sit closer to her.
She was calm and composed. It was obvious that the smelly rat would not stop just like that. He would do something, but no matter when he did, as long as he showed up, Xia Qiluo would catch him.
She had been waiting for him to make a move.
In the Lin Mansion.
Lin Shuran slept on the bed with the maidservant beside her. She felt that the evil person must have run away because he was afraid of Xia Qiluo.
However, she was still afraid and let a maidservant sleep with her.
She placed the talisman that Liu Sanniang gave her on her chest. There were also a few talismans that Xia Qiluo gave her and some that Lin Ru bought at a high price.
The maidservant turned her body. Lin Shuran could feel it. Her eyes were closed, but she was not asleep yet.
Gradually, she felt a little sleepy, but the bed was a little crowded, so she nudged the maidservant with her elbow. “Give me more space.”
“No.”
A man’s voice frightened Lin Shuran so much that her hair stood on end. She felt her body stiffen. She wanted to open her mouth, but she could not make a sound.
Liu Shun hugged Lin Shuran. He was invisible and no one could discover his existence.
Tears streamed down Lin Shuran’s face.
Liu Shun said slowly, “That day, as soon as I entered the room and touched the maidservant’s body, I knew that she was not you. You’ve been living a luxurious life since you were young. Your body is delicate, and your skin is soft. However, that maidservant’s skin was rough. Do you know how angry I was? The dagger in her hand was for killing me, right? But it became a weapon for me to kill her.”
Lin Shuran’s tears welled up. She really wanted someone to save her. Only now did she know that even if she held the talisman, she did not have the strength to hit him because Liu Shun’s appearance scared her out of her wits.
At this moment, Lin Shuran was like a fish on his chopping board.
“Do you know how capable Liu Sanniang is? Ever since she entered the Dao, she has never failed. Unfortunately, you’re not very obedient and think you’re smart, but Liu Sanniang still got people to protect you. However, I’m not someone her people can sense because I’m a god. I’m everywhere.”
Liu Shun said softly. When he felt Lin Shuran trembling, he smiled.
“You must regret it, right. After all, 1 almost died in her hands.”
It had been ten minutes since Liu Shun appeared. He spoke into her ear and reached out to touch her body, making her break down.
Liu Shun continued talking with a smile in his voice. “I’m not afraid of her now. She can’t catch me. I want to make my first perfect masterpiece. Now, let me take you somewhere.”
Liu Shun hugged Lin Shuran and instantly disappeared from the bed.
Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu broke through the window almost instantly. They rushed to the bed and pulled the maidservant up. The bed was still warm, but there was no one else there.
The maidservant woke up with a start and screamed. “Ah… where’s Miss?”
The bed was empty. Lin Shuran was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu looked at each other. Hu Yu said coldly, “Your Miss has already been taken away by the evil man. There’s nothing we can do. Go and tell Xia Qiluo. If you go early, you might still be able to save her.”
Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu quickly left the Lin Mansion. Peaceful days finally came to an end.
The Lin Mansion was soon brightly lit. Mrs. Lin rushed in with disheveled hair. Seeing the maidservant kneeling in front of the bed, her body went weak. “Where is she?”
The maidservant trembled. “Miss was taken away…”
Lin Ru quickly came over. When he saw the empty bed, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “Go to the princess’s mansion immediately and invite the princess over.”
In the middle of the night, the sound of horses galloping passed through the streets and finally stopped at the princess’s mansion. The guard panted and said, “Quick, inform the princess. My Miss has been taken away. Hurry…”
Xia Qiluo came out and glanced at the guard. “Which family?”
“The Lin family.”
The guard replied quickly.
Xia Qiluo tapped her feet and flew away.
The guard rode back on his horse.
Xia Qiluo quickly arrived at the Lin Mansion. Her expression was cold. When Lin Ru saw her, he bowed. Xia Qiluo did not even look at him. “Where did she disappear from?”
“She was on the bed.”
Lin Ru answered swiftly.
Xia Qiluo’s figure flashed towards a direction. Lin Ru quickly followed. Xia Qiluo could fly, but he could only walk. When Lin Ru arrived, Xia Qiluo was already forming seals with her hands. Mrs. Lin watched nervously from the side.
Xia Qiluo’s expression was cold as her hands moved quickly. Soon, an arm landed on the bed, covered and dripping with blood..
