Chapter 221 - 222: Killed Seven
A ghostly wind drifted by, but the man’s attention was entirely fixed on the slightly rustling bushes ahead.
His palm unconsciously tightened around the shovel. He even felt a faint thrill of excitement as he hunched over, creeping closer step by step.
Bai Youyou’s rage was uncontrollable, and she was just about to manifest when Su Nian pushed aside the grass and stepped out.
Their eyes met. Beyond the man’s surging killing intent, an even stronger desire swirled within him.
Su Nian just stood there, her expression cold and clear, possessing an ethereal quality untouched by the mortal world.
And yet, her eyes shimmered with an aggressive light, aloof and superior. Her red lips were bewitchingly vibrant, and her aura was indescribably captivating. Her beauty was audacious, projecting an air of extreme arrogance that made her seem unapproachable.
Out here in the desolate wilderness, she seemed like a fey creature.
But the sight was enough to make the man’s eyes flush red.
He subconsciously moved the shovel behind his back as if to hide it.
Forcing a smile, he had an absurd thought: he didn’t want to kill this woman. He wanted to take her home and keep her.
The wind casually tousled Su Nian’s curly black hair. Her features were sharp and stunning, her beauty outshining that of a siren.
As she glanced sideways, the upturned corners of her eyes flashed with a cold light, like countless tiny ice shards cutting into his skin. Her intimidating presence instantly intensified...
The man felt his throat go dry.
He coughed twice, his greasy, menacing face scrunching up.
"Hey there, beautiful. What are you doing out here all alone so late at night?"
[Damn, he’s so greasy!]
[He even smoothed his hair. Don’t tell me he actually thinks he’s hot!]
[I’m gonna puke!]
[Place your bets on how the Host is gonna take him down!]
After a moment, he also seemed to realize how strange it was for such a beautiful woman to be out in the desolate wilderness.
"Miss, you didn’t see anything just now, did you?"
Su Nian rolled her eyes.
"Idiot."
"I saw you burying a body."
Su Nian’s tone was flat, but that single sentence made the man’s killing intent flare to life.
His grip on the shovel tightened, as if he might bring it down on Su Nian’s head at any second.
"You’ve killed a lot of people, haven’t you?"
"Seven?"
Su Nian answered her own question. In her peripheral vision, she saw that the woman who had been lying on the ground was starting to get up.
She also registered Bai Youyou, still behind her, whom Su Nian was holding back.
[Seven people! He’s killed seven people?]
[I’ve already reported this to the police!]
[The Host would never lie, and this killer looks seriously vicious!]
The man’s hand, gripping the shovel tightly, faltered.
"How do you know that? What kind of spirit monster are you?"
"We have no quarrel. I didn’t kill you, so you..."
The man spoke tentatively, but he was secretly tensing his muscles. His gaze on Su Nian held a trace of pity.
’Such a beautiful woman, and soon she’ll die under my shovel too.’
But at that very moment, the corpse gently tapped his shoulder.
As a soul, she normally had no physical form and could barely affect a living person. However, her resentment was simply too immense.
Coupled with the appearance of her enemy, her resentment skyrocketed.
"Who’s there!"
Before his body could even react, the man roared.
He then raised his shovel, deciding to focus on getting rid of Su Nian first.
[That’s terrifying! The shovel is really sharp!]
[And did you guys notice? He’s swinging it sideways, like he’s chopping something with a knife!]
[If that hits her, the consequences will be unimaginable.]
The woman ignored the man’s attack. Her hand was no longer gently tapping his shoulder, but was now gripping his neck.
A chilling aura rose from behind, creeping up his neck.
The man sensed that something was terribly wrong, but he was still determined to get rid of Su Nian first.
Even as his neck was being squeezed, he gripped the shovel tightly and swung it down at Su Nian.
