Дневник похудения Су Юаньюань - Глава 46
The two old men could no longer sit still and were about to shout.
Although almost everyone here is dead, there are still countless people outside.
Shen Zhili hurriedly got up and saw that Hua Jiuye's flute was already spinning and passing through their throats.
The cries suddenly stopped.
Pushing himself up, Hua Jiuye mercilessly pulled the flute from one person's throat, blood gushing out.
Another old man clutched his throbbing throat: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I really didn't give the order to your sister, it was him, it was him..." He pointed to his companion on the other side: "Some of the people who were dealing with your sister are still outside, you..."
Hua Jiuye picked up the knife on the ground and swiftly cut off the limbs of another old man, then took out some medicine from the old man's pocket and applied it to him.
The still-living old man looked at Hua Jiuye obsequiously: "Young Master Hua, these are all orders from the King; we are merely following orders..."
With a grin, Hua Jiuye raised his knife without hesitation and repeated the action he had just performed, stabbing the flute into the old man's throat in the struggle.
His smile was so eerie it was almost sinister.
“You too.” Bloodlust surged in his eyes: “I will not let any of those who have hurt her go unpunished.”
Shen Zhili grabbed Hua Jiuye's sleeve: "Senior brother, that's enough!"
Hua Jiuye suddenly turned her head, her voice sinister: "Not enough, still not enough! Can they give my sister back her life?! It will never be enough!"
Shen Zhili: "If we don't leave now, we'll all die!"
It was already too late to say that.
Before they could even leave after putting on black robes and pulling Hua Jiuye along, someone stepped forward to stop them.
The stench of blood on Hua Jiuye was so strong that it couldn't be concealed at all, and he made no attempt to hide it whatsoever.
A wave of overwhelming killing intent surged forth as he gripped his knife, slashing and thrusting, completely disregarding the swords and blades raining down on him; clearly, he was blinded by rage.
Hua Jiuye's condition was very abnormal, but Shen Zhili couldn't stop her at all.
He ran over the corpses all the way to the door before stopping. He then turned around abruptly and said, "You go out first."
Shen Zhili quickly grabbed Hua Jiuye: "Are you stupid?!"
Hua Jiuye uttered only one word: "Snake."
His snake is still locked inside.
Faint voices could be heard.
"Someone's dead! Someone's sneaked in!"
"No, someone escaped from the Hall of Punishments!"
Shen Zhili said urgently, "Who cares about snakes at a time like this!"
Hana Kuya: "I can't abandon it."
From that day on, he vowed never to abandon anything he wanted to cherish.
However, after taking less than a step, Hua Jiuye felt a dull pain in the back of her head, and her mind went blank for a moment. Shen Zhili dropped the stone in her hand and half-supported Hua Jiuye as she walked out.
It was still daytime outside, the sun was blazing.
The white light shone into Shen Zhili's eyes, making her feel slightly blinded for a moment.
Wrapped tightly in a black robe, a hand suddenly grabbed Shen Zhili's sleeve and forcefully dragged her into the alley.
Shen Zhili was taken aback, then saw a familiar-looking woman in plain clothes and blurted out, "Liu Se?"
The woman nodded, and while pulling on Shen Zhili, she whispered urgently, "My benefactor, come with me quickly! I know a shortcut out of here!"
Half an hour later, inside a dilapidated house.
Liu Se rubbed her hands awkwardly: "Um, benefactor, I know this place is a bit simple."
It wasn't just some; it was practically just a makeshift structure made of thatched roofs.
Shen Zhili forced a smile and said, "It's good enough if we can have it. Thank you."
As she spoke, she checked Hua Jiuye's pulse, her expression growing even more somber. Shen Zhili knew nothing about the Gu poison of the Southern Frontier, but she could sense the weakness emanating from Hua Jiuye's internal organs.
Lifting the covers, one could see that a strange totem had appeared on Hua Jiuye's face and hands, with blood seeping slightly from the corners of her eyes.
Liu Se looked closely and suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"
Shen Zhili asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
But then Liu Se said in a trembling voice, "Could this young master be possessed by the Gu Emperor?"
Seeing Shen Zhili nod hesitantly, Liu Se composed herself and said, "Young Master's symptoms are probably a backlash from overusing the Gu Emperor..."
Shen Zhili: "Is it serious?"
Liu Se paused for a moment: "The Gu Emperor is the most noble existence, only... can possess it. Once successfully implanted, it becomes linked to the host's lifespan, overcoming all other Gu. However, if overused, it will not only backfire but also shorten one's lifespan..."
Shen Zhili: "Will it shorten your lifespan?"
Liu Se nodded heavily.
Shen Zhili suddenly didn't know what to say, and her heart was filled with all sorts of feelings.
Hua Jiuye, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up and grabbed Shen Zhili's wrist.
Shen Zhili felt a sharp pain from being gripped so tightly. Just as she was about to pull away, she heard Hua Jiuye unconsciously murmur, "...Brother is sorry, Xiaoya, Xiaoya..."
He was clearly still unconscious, his expression showing extreme pain and torment, and his hands were clenched tightly.
He probably mistook her for his younger sister, Hua Jiuya.
Shen Zhili's heart softened immediately.
Liu Se went to the market and bought food. When she returned, she was even more careful and said to Shen Zhili, "The outside is plastered with wanted posters of you and the young master. Please do not go out casually..."
Just as Shen Zhili was about to reply, a petite figure suddenly appeared behind Liu Se.
Upon seeing Hua Jiuye on the bed, she immediately pushed Shen Zhili away and rushed over to him, crying, "Father, Father..." Then, she rubbed her face with snot and tears all over him.
Shen Zhili: "..."
Liu Se: "..."
After a long silence, Shen Zhili sighed, "So that heartless man really was my senior brother?"
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Se had already pulled Hua Guduo over and said urgently, "Come back quickly, what nonsense are you talking about!" Turning to Shen Zhili, she explained, "Miss, please don't misunderstand! Although this young master does resemble my husband somewhat, he is not like that. He... would not appear in front of me in such a disheveled state."
Shen Zhili breathed a sigh of relief, but was interrupted as soon as she said, "It's not closed..."
The flower bud pouted pitifully, "Mommy, I want Daddy so much..."
Liu Se hugged the flower bud tenderly: "Be good, bud, Daddy will come to find us..."
Flower buds' eyes reddened, and she cried out, "Mother, you're lying! You've told me so many times, but Father... he's clearly Father! You're lying, you're lying, he really is..."
As she spoke, Hua Gudu broke free from Liu Se's embrace, rushed over and grabbed Hua Jiuye's other hand, puffing out her cheeks as she fiercely said to Shen Zhili, "You vixen, let go of my father's hand!"
Shen Zhili asked in disbelief, "...What...what did you say?"
The flower bud, emboldened, repeated loudly: "Fox spirit, fox spirit, fox spirit, fox spirit, fox spirit!!"
Shen Zhili: "..."
I felt inexplicably comforted.
So, she actually had the chance to be called a vixen in her lifetime...
Just then, the person on the bed suddenly sat up, their face filled with panic, and said, "...No..."
Hua Gudu pushed Shen Zhili away, stepped forward and hugged Hua Jiuye's waist, burying her little face in his chest with practiced ease: "Waaah...don't you want Duoduo anymore?"
Hua Jiuye's eyes returned from a bewildered, bloodshot look to a calm, pitch-black one. He picked up the small creature in front of him and frowned, "What are you?"
The flower bud struggled with its limbs, its little mouth pouting: "Daddy, I'm your daughter."
Hana Kuya: "...May I kill you?"
Chapter 40
Hana-Kyu-Yo is terrifying.
There is absolutely no doubt about this. He was even stained with blood, his expression was cold and gloomy, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
But there are some creatures that are persistent in trying to get close to Hana Kuya, and they don't even allow anyone else to get close to her.
No matter how Liu Se tried to persuade her, she couldn't, and could only look at Shen Zhili with an embarrassed expression.
Shen Zhili looked back at Liu Se with even more embarrassment and said, "I'm fine, but your daughter..."
Hua Jiuye clearly disliked Hua Gudu. Whenever she got close to him, Hua Jiuye would throw her away without hesitation. However, he did not take any more drastic actions due to his poor health.
Liu Se sighed: "I can't stop her from liking me, and besides... I think you guys are good people."
Shen Zhili nodded: "I'm not wrong, but Senior Brother..."
Liu Se said sincerely, "Although your senior brother has a bad temper, I don't think he's a vicious person!"
Shen Zhili recalled the scene of slaughter that day and was speechless.
Ignorance is bliss.
Not far away, Hua Gudu hugged Hua Jiuye's leg again, calling him "Daddy" with deep affection. Hua Jiuye, with a sour face, stomped on Hua Gudu's enchanting little face and kicked her away.
Shen Zhili sighed, "Does my senior brother really resemble your husband so much?"
Liu Se looked at it and nodded: "It is very similar, but..." She hesitated for a moment, "My husband's personality is more gentle and kind, and his expression is also more gentle."
...You can just say that Hana Kuya looks fierce and menacing.
Shen Zhili patted Liu Se's shoulder: "Once your injuries have healed a bit, we'll be returning to the Central Plains... I also hope you'll meet your husband soon."
"So fast!" Liu Se was taken aback, then pursed her lips and said, "Actually, I know where my husband is."
Shen Zhili paused briefly, then simply nodded.
She's in a desperate situation right now, so it's best not to get too involved in this kind of thing...
The massacre at the Elders' Hall was not made public, but wanted posters were plastered everywhere visible.
The dilapidated house has not been discovered yet, but Shen Zhili still has to disguise herself if she wants to go out. Fortunately, she is not a stunning beauty. She just mixed some turmeric juice and applied it to her face, and she was no longer recognized.
With some money left from the medical consultation, Shen Zhili bought some medicinal herbs, dry food, and a change of clothes before heading towards the dilapidated house.
