Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Soon, Jiu Yuan lured a sneaky man and a woman over.
When they entered the illusion array, the dilapidated courtyard in front of them became the Han family’s house. The thieves in the house were also the tool they wanted to use to achieve their goal.
At the thought of this, the two of them looked at each other and took out five bottles from their pockets. The bottles were all filled with strong alcohol.
In the illusion, the two of them spilled the alcohol on the door. In reality, the wine was not spilled on the door, but on themselves.
Sizzle ~
The match was struck and the flame instantly lit up. The two of them looked at each other and smiled sinisterly. At the same time, they threw the match at the door.
Whoosh ~
The flames instantly soared high and quickly spread to the two of them, almost engulfing them. By the time they reacted, they were already in an inferno.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh…”
A series of heart-wrenching screams tore through the silent night sky, sounding like resentful ghosts coming back to take revenge.
The lights in every house lit up at almost the same time. Those who were close quickly ran out to see what was going on.
When the thieves who were still in the illusion heard the screams, they turned around and saw two people struggling on the ground while their bodies were on fire.
They were so frightened that they stood rooted to the ground and forgot to run!
Qin Xi stood on the wall and watched everything. She was in a good mood and couldn’t help but smile.
Seeing her bright smile, Jiu Yuan shivered uncontrollably. “Can you stop smiling? You look scary when you smile in the dark night!”
Qin Xi’s smile widened. She glanced at him and asked, “Not as scary as you.”
Dugu Jiuyuan was speechless. Then, he straightened his neck and muttered softly, “You look even more terrifying than a ghost. Anyway, you scared me. You have to compensate me for my emotional damage.”
Qin Xi raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, “You’re from the ancient times. How did you know what emotional damage is?”
Jiu Yuan said with his chin held high, “I’ve been wandering in the human world for so long and know a lot of things. I know everything you do and everything you don’t.”
Qin Xi said with a faint smile, “Heh, since you know so much, do you want to guess what I want to compensate you for your emotional damage?”
Seeing the coldness and hostility in her eyes, Jiu Yuan instantly shivered and smiled awkwardly. “Uh… I suddenly don’t want compensation anymore! I was just joking, hehehe…”
“At least you know what’s good for you!”
Qin Xi’s gaze landed on the two people rolling on the ground in the courtyard. Her eyes were deep as she said calmly, “This is the price of hurting Stone. I want them to live in pain for the rest of their lives! This is not the end. The show is still going on!”
Hearing the cold voice, Jiu Yuan felt the temperature around him plummeted. He subconsciously moved to the side to distance himself from Qin Xi.
At this moment, a few villagers ran over with flashlights.
Qin Xi waved her hand, and the illusion array was broken. The scene in front of the thieves instantly changed. They were already frightened to see two people on fire. Now everything in front of them changed completely, they were almost scared out of their wits.
“Look, someone is there…”
“Oh my G.o.d, they’re on fire. Hurry up and put out the fire…”
“Go and put out the fire!”
Everyone shouted in horror. Those who were close to home quickly went home to get water. The rest of the people picked up the soil on the ground and threw it at them in an attempt to put out the fire.
Unfortunately, it was useless!
“Ahhh, save me. I’m burning to death. Ahhh, it hurts… Save me!”
