Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chi Shuyan didn’t intend to discuss the possible reasons with him, but told him to accept the truth immediately. “I suspect that we can only enter and not leave this village. It’s too late for you to leave now!”
Ruan Shenglin’s eyes turned even redder and his legs turned to jelly with fear. At that moment, he wasn’t thinking about himself the most, but about his wife and child.
It wasn’t easy for them to have a child!
Ruan Shenglin thought of how his wife had entered the village because of his ill-considered decision. If he had only regretted it until his intestines turned green before, he now regretted it so much that he simply wanted to bang his head against a wall. He immediately gave up on the idea of taking her away from the village. He choked and pleaded with Master Chi. After a while, he trembled and choked out the words “Master Chi,” looking completely at a loss.
Chi Shuyan couldn’t stand it anymore. What happened to his idol baggage?
!!
She was really worried that this famous film emperor would start crying in front of her, but he shouldn’t be that weak. Seeing Ruan Shenglin’s red eyes gradually return to normal as he calmed down, she said, “The worst hasn’t happened. Don’t worry!”
Chi Shuyan didn’t know if Film Emperor Ruan in front of her was comforted by her words, but he suddenly said pleadingly, “Master Chi, I don’t care what happens to me – I just hope that you remember my wife given her pregnancy, and Brother Kun!”
At this point, Ruan Shenglin was a bit ashamed to continue. Master Chi had already done her best to save his wife. What right did he have to ask her to help Brother Kun?
Ruan Shenglin wiped his face and gritted his teeth, feeling really helpless. The two things he regretted the most was taking on this movie and letting his wife enter this village in a moment of carelessness.
He really didn’t want anything to happen to his wife, and didn’t even dare think about it.
Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin knelt on the floor and covered his face.
At that moment, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan, who had suddenly returned and were a little tipsy, pushed the door open and saw this scene. They stared blankly, and Xiao Shan blurted out, “Holy sh*t, Sister-in-law, what on earth happened?”
Wu Haoming also stared. “Sister-in-law, did something big happen again when we weren’t around?”
The two of them had wild imaginations. Why did this look like a movie scene about being ‘forced to follow the unspoken rules’? In particular, Film Emperor Ruan, who was kneeling on the ground with his face covered, looked like a gigolo who was being driven crazy by some ‘big boss’ over the unspoken rules.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know that the two of them could have such wild imaginations. She looked up and saw them, but not Qi Zhenbai. Puzzled, she was about to ask, when she saw traces of cadaveric qi on the two people at the door. It wasn’t much, and as a few wisps appeared between their eyebrows, a golden light suddenly shot out, dispersing most of the cadaveric qi.
The two were oblivious and asked with tipsy smiles, “Or, Sister-in-law, are you and Film Emperor Ruan acting out some drama scene?”
Chi Shuyan: …
Ruan Shenglin: …
In the end, Ruan Shenglin was a big man. No matter how terrified he was, he didn’t want to show fear in front of others. He gradually calmed down and regained his usual expression, but his face was still a bit pale and wan, and his eyes were anxious.
Chi Shuyan’s attention had been fixed on Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan ever since she saw the traces of cadaveric qi on them. Smelling the alcohol on them, she had a guess and deliberately probed, “Where did you go just now?”
Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan didn’t think much of it and said cheerfully, “Sister-in-law, Da Qing and the others asked us out for a drink in the evening just now. Director Feng is fine, and you weren’t home. President Qi also wanted us to walk around. It just so happened that a good friend invited us to dinner, so we went over, and asked about the village. After all, Da Qing and the others are villagers here, and must know a lot of things in this village.”
Seeing that Master Chi was staring at the two of them without saying anything, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan felt a little uneasy.
Wu Haoming continued, “By the way, Sister-in-law, we also specially asked about the Xu family, but we only asked a few things. For example, his wife is a beauty from a minority ethnic group, but the couple don’t have a good relations.h.i.+p. When they first got married, they got along pretty well. Later, she gave birth prematurely. The Xu guy’s mother wasn’t too satisfied, and the relations.h.i.+p gradually deteriorated.”
Xiao Shan also racked his brain and told Chi Shuyan what he had found out from Da Qing and the others. He continued, “By the way, Sister-in-law, we didn’t find out anything about the village chief. Da Qing and the others seem very reluctant to talk about the village chief.”
The two scratched the back of their heads. When they looked at Master Chi again and saw that her complexion had improved a little, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming heaved sighs of relief.
Not long after, Master Chi patted their shoulders, and Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan were stumped when she said, “Take out the talismans I gave you before!”
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming didn’t know why Master Chi suddenly asked them to take out the talismans, but they trusted her very much. When they heard her words, they didn’t have any thoughts or doubts at all. The two of them took out the talismans from their pockets one after another. Wu Haoming was smarter than Xiao Shan, and he specially said to Chi Shuyan in a fawning tone, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I put all the talismans you gave me in my inner pockets. I can’t lose them. Look…”
Wu Haoming thought that Master Chi was checking their talismans. When he took them out confidently, he saw that a few of the talismans had already turned into charred powder, while the corners of one or two of the others had turned black. It was the same with Xiao Shan. When the two saw this, they looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically. A lot of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads and backs. They were alarmed and asked in unison, “What’s going on?”
