Chapter 963: Chapter 967: My Spiritual Eyes Boyfriend (7)
As a normal person, one would definitely not be able to see the female spirit in front of them.
And hearing the sounds of misery coming from inside, anyone would choose to leave quickly, trying to avoid trouble.
Su Li averted his gaze, avoiding the place where Gai Yun had fallen, pretending not to notice.
The fall cleared Gai Yun’s mind significantly.
When she looked up, she saw Su Li’s beautiful face. Not knowing what she was thinking, her hands suddenly grabbed Su Li’s ankle.
A chilling sensation drilled into her skin from the contact point.
"Save Yun Yu." Gai Yun’s eyes were completely covered in black pupils, staring intently at Su Li and issuing a cold, hard command.
Su Li pursed her lips in displeasure.
No one had ever been able to command her like that.
However, Su Li keenly caught a subtle trace of Rule Power from the command.
"Huh?"
Su Li was ready to lift the foot that had stepped on Gai Yun, and gently put it back down.
It was intriguing that a small life could exert such a-minuscule Rule Power, even if it was negligible, but it was still a rule.
Pretending to be puzzled, Su Li changed her direction, ready to leave and instead headed towards the innermost part of the bar.
The command that Gai Yun had uttered instinctively consumed all her strength, stemming from the deepest desire in her heart.
She struggled to support herself, but fell heavily to the ground the next second.
But her concern for Yun Yu took precedence. After falling several times, she still staggered and stood up, following closely behind Su Li.
The further they walked inside, the heavier the cold darkness became, and by the time they reached the innermost part, the chill was so intense it seemed tangible, solidifying on the body, making even the slightest movement difficult.
It felt like being soaked in water while wearing a down jacket, heavy and dragging you down.
The lights in the room were still on, flickering with an ominous dark red color.
And the Little Huang Mao Su Li noticed earlier was already unconscious, lying on the side with blood on his lips.
Beside him, two young troublemakers were kneeling, holding their heads.
Although they hadn’t passed out, they had their eyes tightly closed, burying their heads in their knees, repeatedly kowtowing and pleading, surrounded by a strong stench.
"Please, this has nothing to do with us. We’re just doing our job for some money... Please spare us."
The two young troublemakers, trembling in fear, kowtowed in the direction where, in the darkest corner, a humanoid figure was crouching.
A resentful spirit, disheveled and covered in blood, crawled on all fours, its neck tilted at an impossible angle, blood-red eyes watching everyone in the room.
Yun Yu knelt on one knee, bleeding from the forehead, clutching a silver-patterned dagger, gasping heavily, coughing violently with each breath, and spitting out blood.
"Stay out of this, these scumbags... all deserve to die." The resentful spirit’s hoarse, unpleasant voice echoed in the room.
A flash of surprise crossed Su Li’s eyes.
Even as a vengeful ghost, this entity retained its intellect from its previous life, seemingly untouched by resentful energy.
Even through its dark surface, a grain-sized hint of golden light swirled in the heart’s core.
Logically, with a hint of Merit protecting it, it shouldn’t have met such an end.
The little Huang Mao, who had fainted earlier, woke up groggily, frightened by the resentful spirit’s gaze, his legs kicking erratically, and his first reaction was to search for Yun Yu.
Seeing his condition, he relaxed slightly from fear, then immediately yelled recklessly, "Destroy it! I paid you so much, not for you to just stare at it!"
Everyone present admired the courage of the daring Little Huang Mao.
Even the two lackeys, trembling like sieves, froze momentarily.
Boss was indeed the boss; even facing the vengeful spirit’s retaliation, his response differed from those of mortals.
Yun Yu spat out another mouthful of blood, feeling bitter inside.
He hadn’t expected the encounter to be so troublesome.
"Bloated ghosts wreak havoc on the Mortal World, they must be exterminated." Yun Yu shouted righteously, raising his dagger, and just when others thought he was about to confront the vengeful spirit, unexpectedly, he turned to run towards the door, wiping the blood from his mouth.
Such a loss, if he had known this thing was so vicious, he wouldn’t have taken the job.
Rushing out headlong, he didn’t notice someone he couldn’t have imagined standing at the door.
Su Li casually pulled him aside, her body shifted, and Yun Yu smashed headfirst into the closed door.
The loud "bang" was enough to give anyone a headache just by listening.
Sticking to the door like a snotty lump, Yun Yu slid down slowly.
Even the aggressive vengeful spirit was momentarily stupefied, its mind muddled by the sudden change of events.
What was this plot twist?
Gai Yun, following from behind, walked straight through the wall, angrily looking at Su Li.
"Hurry up and get him out."
The vengeful spirit reacted quickly, lunging straight at Gai Yun.
In surprise, Gai Yun reached out, pulling Su Li in front of herself as a shield.
Unexpectedly, without knowing when, Su Li had grabbed Yun Yu by the collar, and in a swift move, pulled him from the floor and tossed him forward.
"Pfft," the sound of claws tearing into flesh.
Amidst Yun Yu’s agonized screams, Su Li innocently let go.
The vengeful spirit’s dark claws left five deep, black bloodstains on Yun Yu’s chest, deep enough to see the bones.
"Yun Yu..." Gai Yun finally realized and, without caring about anything else, shoved Su Li aside, shielding Yun Yu from another attack by the vengeful spirit.
Su Li shrugged, observing the guilt hovering above the heads of the other three young men in the room, quietly exited the room.
The order of yin and yang, retribution is clear.
The deep causal lines between them and the vengeful spirit made this disaster inevitable, beyond human control.
As she opened the door to leave, Su Li thoughtfully closed the private room’s door, preventing any unfortunate soul from accidentally entering.
In the last sliver of the closing door, Su Li clearly saw the vengeful spirit tearing something off Gai Yun and quickly stuffing it into its mouth, chewing hungrily.
On the second day, the third day... for several consecutive days, she didn’t catch sight of Yun Yu’s scurrying figure.
Until half a month later, on a bright afternoon, Yun Yu sat in front of Su Li, his face as pale as a sheet.
