The Emperor of Hell's Green Plum Pillow She Escaped Again

Chapter 109: Breakthrough

At the same time, in Bai Shuiru's bedroom next door.

Bai Shuiru, who was originally lying on her back peacefully, suddenly shook her head slightly due to uneasiness, as if refusing to admit something.

With her nose and eye sockets exposed and her face completely disfigured, Zhong Suiru grabbed Shang Baishuiru's arm with her only bony hand and pulled it close to her ear. Her gums, which were not covered with flesh and blood, opened and closed, and a sound that only the two of them could hear crawled into her cochlea like a venomous snake, causing severe pain wherever it went:

"Bai Shuiru, as long as I die, you can never be with Hei Huo Mian! Hahaha~! As long as I die, you can never be with Hei Huo Mian..."

"Black Fire Sleep!"

Bai Shuiru suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the quilt, stood up, opened the door barefoot, and happened to meet Jing Youxi and Jing Churan who were about to open their bedroom doors.

"Shui Ru, you finally woke up..."

"Huo Mian he..." Bai Shuiru had no time to explain, he slipped sideways through the gap between the two of them and rushed towards Hei Huo Mian's study.

"Huo Mian? Huo Mian?"

When Bai Shuiru broke into the study, Min Ying was facing the desk with his back to the door. He turned around and looked at her in surprise:

"Water is like..."

"Get out! Get out!" An angry growl from a strange yet familiar voice came from behind the desk, making people shudder.

"Huo Mian, it's me."

Min Ying raised his hand to block Bai Shuiru and tried his best to dissuade her:

"Shui Ru, don't get close to him!"

"He, he is not an ordinary person, he is very dangerous!"

"Brother Min Ying, it's okay. I can handle it, and Huo Mian won't hurt me."

Bai Shuiru pushed away Min Ying's arm that was across her front and nodded firmly.

"You go out first, I'm fine."

Min Ying stared into her eyes, nodded in frustration and helplessness, and had to leave the study.

Bai Shuiru was originally barefoot, and now she tiptoed slowly from the floor to the carpet, and walked towards the desk where Hei Huomian was hiding. She had long hair, a short skirt, and gentle and kind eyes, like an elf that had emerged from the secret forest where she had lived for a long time, just to save the one she loved from suffering.

"Fire sleep..."

"You get out too!"

As Min Ying walked out of the study and gently closed the door, he heard a very gentle and soothing voice asking:

"Huo Mian, do you remember you asked me about the smell on your body?"

Min Ying seemed to see in the dimness, that delicate and petite figure kneeling in front of the curled-up figure, bending down and gently kissing the back of the other's neck, which was half hidden in the long hair and had blue-gray cracked skin.

"No matter what you are like, you are still you, Hei Huo Mian."

She whispered, but her words were as firm and trustworthy as a vow.

Frustrated, Min Ying quickly and lightly closed the door, quickly blocking his hearing and vision, and leaned against the wall with his back, slamming the back of his head against it. He was already in a fuzzy state of complete defeat.

In the small shadow behind the desk, Hei Huomian slowly raised his eyes. His pupils, which emitted a dark blue light, were actually vertical like those of an animal. He fixed his eyes on Bai Shuiru's clear eyes. He suddenly stretched out his arms and embraced her in his arms, whispering as if begging or swearing an oath:

"Only when you are by my side, I am myself."

The pair of unusual pupils were gradually covered by mist, blurring the process of their gradual return to normal round pupils.

Min Ying leaned against the wall of the corridor outside the study door in a daze for an unknown amount of time before someone patted his arm gently and he came back to his senses.

"Brother Min Ying, Huo Mian can see you now."

Min Ying stood up almost reflexively, turned his head and looked Bai Shuiru up and down, "Shuiru, are you okay?"

The little girl tilted her head for a moment, then smiled and replied, "I'm fine!"

"Brother Min Ying, don't you still want to see Huo Mian?"

"Oh yes."

After Min Ying knocked on the door, he went in and subconsciously set his eyes on the two rhodochrosite cups on the table.

Hei Huomian had just finished signing the physical evidence collection confirmation list and when he put the pen back on the table, he seemed to accidentally push the cup on his table, and it fit perfectly with Bai Shuiru's cup on the edge of the adjacent table, as if they had never been separated.

Sensing the pressing gaze, Min Ying suddenly became alert and followed the line of sight, meeting Hei Huo Mian who was sitting with his back to the light, his brows half-hidden in the shadows.

Bai Shuiru sat on the single sofa in the studio, staring blankly at the sumptuous breakfast on the round table in front of her.

Isn’t Huo Mian an ordinary person?

His pupils, skin, nails, and teeth were clearly...

"Was his condition just now very unusual?"

Bai Shuiru was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She saw clearly the young man lying on a hammock floating in the air, eating a skewer of grilled food, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wuchu?! You scared me to death!"

The little girl grabbed a piece of apple from the plate and threw it at the other person's door.

"Don't you need to investigate the geographical resources of the underworld? Why do you have time to hang around here?"

Wu Chu took the apple easily, shook his head and curled his lips, and only responded after eating it:

"Tsk! If I don't respond to you, you say I don't care about you. If I care about you, you say I'm lazy. It's true that 'only villains and women are difficult to raise'!"

Bai Shuiru suddenly realized something and asked, "What did you just say? Do you know something?"

Bai Shuiru swallowed slowly.

His skin just turned blue-black and his whole body was shaking, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

Is it really as I guessed?

"You are attracted to each other."

"Wha, what?"

Wu Chu rolled his eyes at the ceiling and answered irrelevantly:

“I heard that the banquet last night was very lively, but the Hei family’s servants were so fast that there was no trace at all.”

Just as Bai Shuiru was about to ask further questions, she heard Min Ying calling from the door:

"Shui Ru."

Bai Shuiru hurriedly got up and walked towards the bedroom door. Seeing Min Ying looking at her with a notebook in his hand, he said, "I want to go back."

"I'll take you there." The little girl walked quickly forward, led the other person to the stairs, and walked down slowly.

"I didn't ask you just now, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm very good."

"Then why did you suddenly faint last night? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup now."

Bai Shuiru recalled Jing Churan's obvious general explanation and smiled, saying:

"Perhaps it was because he saw the woman whose fate was linked to his own suddenly met with an accident, and he was so emotionally agitated that he fainted due to stress."

Min Ying pondered for half a minute, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"Pay more attention. If you have similar symptoms again, go to the hospital for a detailed examination."

"okay, I get it."

"Also," Min Ying looked around to make sure there was no third person around, and lowered his voice to warn, "Don't trust anyone easily, be careful."

Bai Shuiru quickly caught the young man's hidden meaning and the helpless expression on his serious face, and hurriedly continued, "Um, is Hei Huomian in trouble?"

At this time, in the study on the third floor.

The leader of the twelve secret guards respectfully presented a certificate to Hei Huomian. There was a piece of translucent cloth stuck on the back, which was obviously torn from a certain Piao.

"Emperor Ming, this was found on the back of the person called 'Xiao Shun'."

"It is the same as what we have. It is a special certificate from the underworld that can weaken Miss Bai's ability to dispel floating to a certain extent."

Li You nodded and also inferred:

"And the power that Xiao Shun possessed when he attacked you last night, there must be a force secretly guiding or manipulating him to do so. As for the purpose..."

purpose?

Hei Huomian understood immediately, and a sneer appeared on the corners of his lips barely perceptible. Then he heard faint voices and the sound of a car engine starting coming from the door of the mansion downstairs.

He subconsciously walked closer to the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window and happened to see Bai Shuiru waving goodbye to Min Ying who was driving away.

Hei Zhan Ze then walked closer to the window, taking in the familiar scene downstairs, and patted his eldest son on the shoulder:

"Son, you have confirmed this person, but if you agree to marry into our family, you still have to work harder."

Behind Hei Huo Mian, Xiao Shun, who was imprisoned in a chair, suddenly muttered to himself:

"I understand why there is such a strong pulling force here: I want to escape but I can't bear to; I want to let go but I miss you so much."

Upon hearing this, Hei Huomian turned around and silently looked at the insight and clarity in Xiao Shun's translucent eyes.

The separation and reunion between Shuiru and I have long been beyond my control.
