Chapter 116: Killing the woman in red

Chen Hao appeared behind the woman in red, and a sharp dagger stabbed toward her.

Just as the dagger was about to hit the woman in red, this guy dodged to the side.

The woman in red came to the window.

She glared fiercely at Chen Hao.

"You wait for me, I’ll be back soon."

Saying this, the woman in red jumped out of the window directly.

Seeing this, Chen Hao felt speechless.

The opponent wasn't Gray Wolf, so why say "I’ll be back"?

At this moment, the maid walked up from downstairs.

She happened to see the woman in red jump out of the window.

"Oh no, you guys hurry and leave."

It could be seen that the maid was kind-hearted.

"Eh?"

The maid’s words left Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaobu completely baffled.

"You’ll know if you look outside."

The maid said anxiously.

Hearing this, Chen Hao looked outside the window.

As a result, he discovered that behind the window was the backyard of the house, where there was a pond.

The woman in red was floating on the pond at this moment.

The pond, which was originally full of water, was now starting to churn.

Countless black energy emerged from the pond.

Looking at the black energy, Chen Hao narrowed his eyes.

That black energy was clearly the resentment of dead people, and there were faint human figures in the black energy.

As the woman in red absorbed it, the temperature around them began to drop sharply.

The house, which wasn't bright to begin with, gradually became even darker.

"Hiss!"

Lu Xiaoji gasped and couldn't help but rub his arms.

"Why does it feel a bit cold!"

Chen Hao ignored Lu Xiaoji and jumped out of the window directly.

"Holy crap!"

"Brother Hao!"

Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaobu were both startled.

Although this was the second floor, there was still a distance to the ground.

Chen Hao had just jumped down like that.

The two came to the window.

The scene before them left the two standing in place.

"So... so cool!"

At this moment, Chen Hao had wings on his back, and lightning was swirling around his hands.

Boom!

A bolt of purple lightning struck down.

It struck the woman in red squarely, hitting her right on target.

"Ah~!"

The woman in red let out a cry of pain.

Lightning is the bane of ghosts and spirits.

After the lightning struck her, she was directly injured.

"I want you to die!"

Having absorbed the black Qi, the woman in red became increasingly violent.

She lunged toward Chen Hao.

Her dark red claws tore through the void, swiping at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao dodged to the side and struck the woman in red with another bolt of lightning.

The woman in red was left stiff from the electric shock, her face filled with agony.

The woman in red did not give up on attacking Chen Hao.

She launched attack after attack at him.

At this moment, Chen Hao was like a cat playing with a mouse.

After dodging an attack, he would shoot a bolt of lightning toward the woman in red.

Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaobu watched the two fighting.

They were completely stunned.

If not for the terrifying pressure they felt from the woman in red,

they would have truly believed her strength was too poor.

"I'm done playing with you."

*Whoosh!*

Chen Hao teleported right in front of the woman in red.

His right hand clamped onto her throat.

The woman in red began to struggle violently.

However, at this moment, Chen Hao's right hand transformed into a dragon claw.

The dragon claw was like a pair of pliers, gripping her throat tightly.

No matter how she struggled, she could not break free.

Chen Hao began to circulate the *Corpse Cultivation* technique, and a massive amount of energy flowed from the woman in red's body into his own.

As the energy was drained, the woman in red's body began to fade.

At this moment, the maid also jumped down from upstairs.

She glanced at the woman in red and then knelt directly before Chen Hao.

"What are you doing?"

"I beg you, I beg you, can you please spare the Young Lady?"

"She is also a tragic soul."

"Back then, we were waiting here for the Master's return, but he never came back."

"Instead, a group of soldier-thugs arrived, and they had evil intentions toward us."

"We naturally chose death over submission, and the Young Lady and I killed ourselves with knives."

Faced with the maid's pleas, Chen Hao remained unmoved.

Instead, he increased the force in his hand.

In the end, the woman in red was drained by Chen Hao until her soul scattered.

Watching the woman in red disappear before her eyes, the maid Yali collapsed onto the ground.

"I don't care how tragic her past was."

"As long as she dares to strike at me, she must pay the corresponding price."

Chen Hao said coldly.

Just now, Chen Hao had seen the woman in red's eyes; they were the eyes of a venomous snake, filled with resentment.

One must never spare someone like that.

"Now, I give you two choices."

"Either stay and be my maid, helping me guard this house."

"Or, please leave."

Unlike the woman in red, the maid Yali had a glimmer of kindness in her eyes.

Although she was a supernatural entity, she radiated an aura of sanctity.

Therefore, Chen Hao had no intention of killing Yali.

Upon hearing this, Yali pursed her lips.

She turned her head to look at the house, her eyes filled with love.

She loved this house deeply; to her, this house was her home.

"I choose to stay."

"Very well, then I leave the care of the house to you."

"You'll have to trouble yourself with keeping the interior clean."

"Okay."

Yali nodded.

One hour later, inside the room.

Chen Hao sat in a chair, picking up his coffee and sipping it slowly.

Lu Xiaoji and Lu Xiaobu sat opposite him.

Looking at the steaming coffee, the two did not dare to drink.

"Hao... Brother Hao, aren't you afraid she poisoned it?"

As he said this, Lu Xiaoji subconsciously looked toward the door.

At this moment, the maid Yali was cleaning over there.

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Chen Hao possessed the SSS-rank [Eye of True Sight], which could see through the information of all things.

He could naturally tell if the coffee was poisoned.

"You can drink it without worry; there is nothing wrong with this coffee."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobu and Lu Xiaoji picked up their coffee with lingering doubts.

Just as the two were about to drink, the maid Yali walked in.

"Master, there are still some things kept in the basement of our house."

"Would you like to go take a look and then tell me how to dispose of them?"

"There are things in the basement?"

"Yes."

Yali nodded.

"Alright, then lead the way and let me see."

Led by Yali, Chen Hao, Lu Xiaoji, and Lu Xiaobu headed downstairs.

They soon arrived at the basement.

After walking into the basement,

Lu Xiaoji was somewhat disappointed.

"Tch, I thought there would be some gold and silver treasures."

"I didn't expect it to just be some junk."

Inside the basement were just a few shelves, covered in dust.

Seeing this, Yali looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry, the valuable things in the house were all looted by those guys."

"Only those bottles and jars are left."

Hearing this, Chen Hao was not angry; instead, he began to look around.
