Chapter 27: 27 Big brother, you're a fairy, you're a fairy!

27 Big brother, you're a fairy, you're a fairy!

"Is that so?" Tushan Jiu smiled playfully, sizing up Liao Wu from head to toe.

Liao Wu didn't know Tushan Jiu; he looked at Xie Shiyu and said, "Mr. Xie, who is this?"

"My fiancée." Xie Shiyu introduced.

Tushan Jiu's smile froze, and she rubbed her ears.

How could those three words from his mouth make one's ears burn like this!

Liao Wu was only a director who had gained some fame in recent years, still far from the upper-class circle, so he naturally didn't know that Xie Shiyu had a fiancée.

So he was somewhat surprised, "Oh, this is Mr. Xie's fiancée. My apologies, I'm Liao, just a single character Wu."

Tushan Jiu took out a lollipop from her pocket, unwrapped it and put it in her mouth, then said leisurely, "The Liao family of Miao Village? I know of you, I've long heard your great name."

Upon hearing those five words "Liao family of Miao Village," Liao Wu's pupils instantly dilated.

He instinctively stepped back two steps, wanting to turn and run.

But with a loud bang, the glass of the hotel's outer platform shattered, and a woman in a white dress lay on the ground, her limbs twisted.

Since it was midnight, only one receptionist and one security guard were on duty at the front desk.

The front desk attendant saw this horrifying scene, screamed instantly, then rolled her eyes and fainted.

That security guard was so frightened his legs trembled, and holding his baton, he was at a loss for a moment.

But the next second, the security guard also widened his eyes, filled with terror.

Because the woman on the ground, in an extremely eerie posture, pushed herself up into a handstand, grinned at Liao Wu, and said, "Master."

Such a horrifying scene would be hard to see even in horror films, let alone in reality.

Thus, the security guard also shouted loudly before collapsing and passing out.

Now it's convenient; no need for her sleep talisman.

Tushan Jiu gave Xie Shiyu a look.

Xie Shiyu inexplicably understood, took out his phone and dialed an ambulance.

Tushan Jiu pinched a talisman between her fingertips and flicked it over; the light talisman precisely stuck to Yin Qing's forehead.

In the blink of an eye, Yin Qing tilted her head back, opened her mouth, and spat out a mass of black mist.

Xie Shiyu's vision was still sharp; seeing that mass resembling black mist, he realized it wasn't gas at all but was packed with countless tiny insects.

But having just seen it, he hadn't even time to feel disgust before his vision went dark, a pale, cool hand covering his eyes.

"It's gross, don't look."

Tushan Jiu crunched the lollipop in her mouth with a loud crack, then flicked another talisman with her other hand.

This talisman headed straight for that mass of insects.

Upon contact, the talisman ignited the insects spontaneously, and they crackled as they burned.

Once the burning was nearly done, she lowered her hand from in front of Xie Shiyu's eyes.

Meeting Xie Shiyu's gaze, Tushan Jiu blinked, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Although they hadn't touched, they were standing much closer than usual, and Tushan Jiu could clearly smell the cedar scent on him.

Tushan Jiu instinctively sniffed; the smell was lovely, and she liked it.

Her small movement was precisely caught by Xie Shiyu.

He pressed his lips and gave a low chuckle.

Tushan Jiu hastily stepped back, her finger brushing her nose, then glanced out of the corner of her eye at Liao Wu, who was trying to run.

From the moment Tushan Jiu flung the talisman at Yin Qing, Liao Wu sensed the situation turning bad, and taking advantage of their diverted attention, he slowly retreated to the fire escape.

This hotel's fire escape also has an exit specially reserved for some celebrities to avoid reporters' "late-night script discussions," though most people don't know about it.

So after being exposed, his first thought was that exit.

Two steps, one step, half a step.

He was about to touch the fire door's handle when Liao Wu's lips curled upward.

Tushan Jiu didn't move, arms crossed, looking as if she had a good show to watch, murmuring softly, "Two steps, one step, half a step......"

"Duang"

The fire escape door was flung open with force, the door flying out and slamming Liao Wu to the ground.

Bai Yu came running out in a panic, and upon seeing Tushan Jiu, he yelled and rushed toward her.

One of his hands was still in the form of a fox's paw, white and fluffy, and his hair fluttered as he ran.

"Tushan Jiu, hurry, hurry, hurry—I need to buy a knife on credit, save me! I've encountered a ghost!"

"Ahhhh, Yin Qing, Yin Qing is a female ghost, she's going to catch me!"

"Wuuu, I want to go home and find my parents; I don't want to be a celebrity anymore, the human world is too scary! I'm so terrified——"

Tushan Jiu: "......"

I really didn't expect you to be such a fox spirit.

Unable to bear it any longer, Tushan Jiu slapped Bai Yu on the head and shouted, exasperated, "Big brother, you're a fairy, you're a fairy! She's just a corpse controlled by corpse-gu, a living dead—what are you afraid of!"

Bai Yu spun twice from the blow before stopping, "Huh? She's not a ghost?"

Tushan Jiu jerked her chin toward the doorway, "Well, why don't you go touch it?"

Xie Shiyu raised his eyebrows; this line sounded somewhat familiar.

Bai Yu's head shook like a rattle drum, "I'm not going, I'm not going—why would that living dead come after me? Today she even fed me those disgusting insects; thank goodness I'm a monster, otherwise she'd have succeeded!"

As he spoke, he edged closer to Tushan Jiu, not daring to look at the already rotting Yin Qing; although he didn't know what those insects did, they were certainly nothing good.

"It's not her who wants your life; she's a living dead with no thoughts, only able to obey orders."

Bai Yu's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, "Then who are you trying to harm me? I'm quite easy to get along with. My dad said when you go out you need to learn to be smooth, I haven't offended anyone. Could someone have found out my secret?"

Just as the words ended, a thud came from the nearby fire door.

Ugh...... fuck, it kills me!

Bai Yu heard the sound and looked over.

Only saw Liao Wu forcefully push aside the fire door pressing on him and climb up from the ground.

"Director Liao? What are you doing here? Ah, no—I mean, how did you even crawl under the fire door?"

Liao Wu: "......"

Tushan Jiu covered her face, unable to watch this stupid fox.

"He's the one who wants your life! He's an evil poison master from the Miao village's Liao family."

Bai Yu was about to examine Liao Wu's steps, but hearing Tushan Jiu's words, he abruptly stopped.

"Holy shit, no way—is it the Liao family that specializes in whatever poisonous bugs they play with?"

Tushan Jiu: "Yeah, that's the Liao family, but he doesn't know your identity, nor the Bai family's; he simply wants to find some money-making 'beasts of burden' to work for him for free."

"Besides Yin Qing, many others in your circle have already been selected."

"Besides, it's not just celebrities; there are also two very famous agents."

"They've all been hit."

"However, most of them can still be saved."

"As for corpse poison, if it's a corpse, it's very easy to control."

"But those are living people; the corpse poison worm needs to parasitize inside them for a while and then 'hollow out' their souls."

"Once a person loses their soul, they become a mere shell, and naturally can then become his puppet."

"As for Yin Qing, she's an accident."
