nThe villa Mr. Wu had bought was located in an old residential area.

nLand in the capital was expensive. Compared to the new villas in the new district, it was quieter here and the environment was better, appealing to those who liked tranquility. Moreover, many of the villas retained the architectural style of the previous century. Many retirees liked staying here.

nMr. Wu’s family had just returned from abroad. His daughter was not in good health, so it was a good choice for them to stay here.

nUnexpectedly, after moving here, strange things happened one after another to his family.

nWhen the car arrived, Chu Luo wanted to follow in, but she was stopped by Mr. Wu outside the door.

n“Young lady, it’s not convenient for me to entertain guests at my home. You should go back.”

nChu Luo halted in her steps. She didn’t leave but walked back to the car and took out the books she had bought a few days ago to read.

nThe chauffeur looked at Chu Luo in the rearview mirror a few times. He couldn’t help but remind her, “Miss Chu, it’s getting late. Master is still waiting for you.”

nChu Luo said without looking up, “No hurry. I’ll watch the show first.”

nThe chauffeur: “…”

n‘Miss Chu, you may not be in a hurry, but I am. My mission is to bring you back. If you don’t go back after so long, I’ll be in trouble if Master blames me!’

nChu Luo seemed to have realized what he was thinking. She thought for a while and said, “Give me your phone.”

nThe chauffeur quickly took out his phone and handed it to her.

nChu Luo held her phone and asked with a troubled expression under the chauffeur’s intense gaze, “What’s Li Yan’s number?”

nThe chauffeur was shocked. “Miss Chu, don’t you know?”

nChu Luo looked confused. “Why should I know? Shouldn’t you be the one who knows?”

nThe chauffeur was silent for a while before he shook his head. “I don’t know.” He thought: ‘How would I dare to know Master’s number!’

nChu Luo was also silent for a while before returning the phone to him.

nThe chauffeur was anxious. “Miss Chu, aren’t you going to call Master?”

nChu Luo glanced at him. “How can I call without a number?”

nThe chauffeur: “…”

nChu Luo stopped looking at the chauffeur’s conflicted face and quickly flipped through the computer book in her hand. Just as she was about to flip through the second book, the sound of something heavy slamming suddenly came from Mr. Wu’s residence. At the same time, it was mixed with the mad roars and cries of a woman.

nChu Luo put away her book and was about to get out of the car.

nThe chauffeur was shocked and quickly said, “Miss Chu, don’t go in.”

nChu Luo alighted and said calmly, “I’ll go in to take a look at the commotion. Don’t follow me in.”

nAfter saying that, she ignored the chauffeur’s anxious expression and walked towards the door.

nThe door wasn’t tightly closed. Chu Luo pushed the door open and strode in.

nInside was a courtyard with two entrances. It was very charming, and the slamming and screaming and crying came from the courtyard at the back.

nChu Luo quickened her pace and walked in. Just as she reached the steps that led to the courtyard, someone was sent flying over from the opposite side.

nThat person slammed heavily into the stone fence beside Chu Luo. After a loud bang, he fainted.

nThen, a young woman with disheveled hair wearing a sleeping robe rushed out of the room.

n“Ahhh… You’re all baddies. Don’t touch me.”

nChu Luo looked at the young woman and narrowed her eyes.

nPhoenix’s voice rang out in her head at the same time. “Mistress, that woman has an… egg that is filled with malevolent aura in her stomach.”

nWhen Chu Luo heard the word egg, the corners of her lips couldn’t help but twitch.

nShortly after, the old man and another middle-aged man came chasing after her.

nThe old man held a talisman in one hand and a mahogany sword in the other. As he chased after her, he berated loudly, “Where did this dirty thing come from? Quickly leave this young lady’s body.”

nBehind the two of them were Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu.

nAs Mrs. Wu chased after her, she wiped her tears and shouted anxiously, “Don’t hurt my daughter. Don’t hurt my daughter.”

nMr. Wu’s face was also ashen and pale.

nAs they spoke, the middle-aged man had already stopped the woman. The old man slapped the talisman in his hand onto the woman.

nThe woman’s face was twisted in pain. When the talisman approached her, she screamed.

n“Ah…”

n“Stop!”

nWhen Chu Luo saw this, she finally spoke. At the same time, she jumped and quickly landed between the old man and the woman, stopping the talisman.

nThe talisman instantly ignited.

nWhile the old man and middle-aged man were in a daze, Chu Luo quickly pulled the woman to the side.

n“What are you doing?” the old man and middle-aged man roared at Chu Luo at the same time.

nAfter shouting, the middle-aged man moved to catch that woman again.

nThe woman shrank behind Chu Luo, trembling.

nChu Luo said, “You guys will take her life if you continue.”

nWhen Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu heard this, their expressions changed drastically.

nMrs. Wu screamed, “Don’t hurt my daughter! All of you, leave!”

n“What do you know?” The old man glared at Chu Luo. “You’re but a young lass. Do you know what she has on her? If this thing doesn’t get removed from her stomach and comes out after maturing, not only will everyone in this family die, but many others will also be harmed!”

nChu Luo ignored his anger and asked with a smile, “Aren’t you a master? Can’t you remove the thing in her body while protecting her life?”

n“How is that possible!” The old man widened his eyes. “That thing has already entered her body. If she doesn’t die, that thing can’t be removed!”

nWhen Mrs. Wu heard this, she shouted hysterically:

n“Don’t hurt my daughter!”

nAfter shouting, Mrs. Wu ran over.

nChu Luo and the old man berated at the same time, “Don’t come over.”

nAt that moment, the woman hiding behind Chu Luo suddenly extended her hands towards Chu Luo. The tips of her fingers instantly turned black.

nThe middle-aged man standing beside the old man happened to see it. His eyes widened abruptly as he sucked in a cold breath and warned loudly, “Little girl, be careful!”

nAs soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the woman’s hands reached for Chu Luo’s neck.

nEveryone’s eyes widened. The old man was the first to react and was about to take out the charm.

nHowever, in the next second, the woman’s long black nails were suddenly surrounded by two balls of golden flames.

n“Ah…”

nChu Luo turned around and looked at the woman who was screaming in pain. She quickly raised her hand and shook the bell in her hand.

nTo everyone’s surprise, a ball of golden flames instantly surrounded the woman’s body.

nThe woman screamed in pain amid the golden flames. She didn’t look like a human being at all.

nThis frightened the Wu couple so much that they widened their eyes and forgot to react.

n“Master, this…” The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva in shock. “What is this young lady doing?”

nThe old man suddenly recovered from his shock and said to the middle-aged man in a serious and excited voice, “Don’t speak. Watch.”

nAfter saying that, he stared fixedly at Chu Luo.

nIn fact, Chu Luo had used a bell that she had casually taken out as a disguise. She waited for the Phoenix Golden Flame to eliminate the black baneful aura in the woman’s body before stopping.

nAs soon as the thing in the woman’s body was removed, the woman fainted.

nChu Luo said to the pale-faced Mr. Wu and the grieving Mrs. Wu, “She’s fine now. Send her to bed first.”

nOnly then did Mr. Wu snap back to his senses. He strode over and carried the woman then ran into the house behind them. Worried, Mrs. Wu quickly followed him.
