Chapter 119: The Girlfriend Who Doesn't Exist

Guan Daorong was covered in blood, tears streaming down his face, begging in utter despair, his posture lowered to the extreme, looking pitiful beyond measure.

Wu Xian gave a contemptuous smile.

He felt this kind of person was somewhat laughable.

When harming others, his conscience was clear, even taking pleasure in it; but when disaster struck himself, he put on the posture of a victim, wanting to win the sympathy of others.

However, Guan Daorong's nature of being outwardly tough but inwardly hollow, fierce in appearance but weak within, Wu Xian had long since discovered.

Before this fellow entered the blessed land, he was clearly in the middle of committing a crime. The moment he realized he had appeared inside the blessed land, he assumed his crime had been exposed, and even burst into tears on the spot.

After calming down, he then fabricated the lie that he was a boxer.

Huo Gai's words made Wu Xian and the others all startle.

Although they looked down on him, saving him still required figuring out a way. Previous experiences had already shown that when these Lotus Juanren and newcomers died, they too would turn into new evil spirits.

Only now did Wu Xian recall the many anomalies from before.

But how to save him?

Yet Wu Xian felt—

But in Huo Gai's eyes, Hu Yun's words meant: "There are no evil spirits around us, feel free to come over, only our side is safe."

Du E stared at Guan Daorong, her eyes faintly gleaming, stepped forward, puffed out her not-particularly-tall chest, and cast a look of pity and concern upon Guan Daorong.

Wu Xian shouted to him.

Or was there really an evil spirit that had been following him all along, one only he could see?

Hu Yun immediately shouted loudly at Huo Gai.

This Miss had already switched personas several times in front of Wu Xian; if Wu Xian believed her again he'd be a complete fool. Though she didn't talk much, the viciousness in her bones was probably no less than Wu Xian's own.

This little yellow-hair who had dyed his hair back to black had been staying alone in a corner the whole time.

If a vicious person like Guan Daorong simply died, it would instead bring some trouble to their clearing of this blessed land.

Huo Gai shook his head, ignoring Hu Yun's warning, feeling that Wu Xian and the others were beyond saving.

Sha Xiuwen gently held Huo Gai, revealing a gentle and graceful smile.

After coming out of the Fuyuan Chenghuang's office, Huo Gai had forgotten many things.

Was it because he had suffered excessive mental stimulation, and thus developed some sort of mental illness?

"An evil spirit has mixed in among you and you still haven't noticed. You'd probably not even know when you lose your lives. I'm not going; this place is just fine!"

Once these words came out—

Now Guan Daorong and the driver Old Zhao were in position; only Huo Gai remained in the corner on the other side.

He took Sha Xiuwen's hand.

Thinking about it now, in Huo Gai's eyes, Sha Xiuwen probably hadn't died at all!

"Xiuwen, look at them, they've already been bewitched by evil spirits, truly a bunch of trash. Only I am the man you can rely on."

This was the talisman she had just obtained.

Risk going over to carry him on their back?

Probably no one would be willing, right?

Spirit-Bestowing Art!

Bestows spirituality upon an object, granting it the characteristics of being alive.

Du E untied the long whip from her waist, applied a talisman to it. The long whip seemed to come alive, slithering like a snake, tightly coiling around Guan Daorong's leg.

Just like that.

"It's your side that's not safe!"

They looked at each other. On this side there were only five people—Wu Xian, Du E, Hu Yun, Guan Daorong, and the driver Old Zhao—no evil spirits. Could an evil spirit be disguised as a person?

"Before, I did you wrong, but now I've turned over a new leaf. I will definitely get you out of here!"

All alone, looking somewhat pitiful.

Guan Daorong had also reached Wu Xian and the others' side.

But unexpectedly, after hearing this, Huo Gai shook his head violently, sneering at Wu Xian and the others.

An evil spirit had mixed in among them?

When?

Who?

After Huo Gai came out of the banquet hall grave, his expression had been numb the whole time, as if he had no reaction to his girlfriend's death. At the time Wu Xian didn't think anything was wrong—after all, Huo Gai was a scumbag to begin with.

"It's not that an evil spirit has mixed in on our side—there's been an evil spirit by your side all along. You're all by yourself! Wake up!"

So he was moved to tears, hope rising in his eyes.

She handed one end of the whip to Wu Xian and Hu Yun; the three of them pulled together, and Guan Daorong's body was dragged forward.

Du E immediately took some cloth strips torn from the bus curtains from her pocket, performed emergency bandaging on Guan Daorong, stopping the bleeding from his wounds.

Previously he had been framed by Wu Xian, inexplicably dragged into the Fuyuan Chenghuang's office, subjected to inhuman torture, spending every day accompanied by fear and agony.

Why was Du E putting on that saintly expression again—what trick was she trying to pull?

Especially that albino named Feng Chen!

He looked gentle and mild, but was actually a pervert. After hearing the full account of Huo Gai's scumbag behavior, he took turns every day devising new ways to torture him, becoming Huo Gai's psychological shadow.

But feeling the warmth of Sha Xiuwen beside him, Huo Gai instead felt a sense of serenity.

Guan Daorong was even more grateful. With his current injuries, if he bled through the night, he would undoubtedly be dead by morning.

"He said 'our side isn't safe?' …But, but there's only him alone on his side, why would he say 'we'!"

Wu Xian was slightly surprised. Though this vicious person was cowardly by nature, at least his abilities were decent.

Wu Xian was momentarily stunned.

He had also repeatedly struck poses as if protecting something, suddenly withdrawing his hand and muttering to himself when fighting the Yellow-Haired Specter, and saying "don't be afraid" when startled...

"Don't worry, don't be afraid, I'll find a way to save you, I won't let you die!"

Although he was now in a perilous situation.

Everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spines, and when they looked at Huo Gai again, a hint of horror crept into their eyes.

"Next we'll pull you over. There may be evil specters attacking along the way, so stay alert."

But Guan Daorong had never worked with Du E before.

"It's not safe on our side?"

"It's not safe on your side. Find a chance to come over, we'll cover you."

Wu Xian had assumed Huo Gai would be overjoyed and cooperate eagerly.

Du E seemed to have been prepared long ago, just waiting for a chance to heal someone's wounds...

The driver Old Zhao suddenly changed expression.

While Du E was bandaging his wounds up close, Guan Daorong had been watching the driver Old Zhao with an icy stare.

Seeing everyone's expressions growing more and more wary, about to start suspecting one another.

During the dragging process, the Trendy Specter lunged over, clawing at Guan Daorong's face, trying to stop them from regrouping, but its hand was dodged by Guan Daorong, who then punched it in the face and knocked it back.

Some people only realize their past mistakes after suffering enough lessons, so Huo Gai's scumbag nature underwent a slight change.

But the fear of Feng Chen, and the excuse Feng Chen used to torment him, lingered long and could not be forgotten.

He had ended up in this state all because of that cowardly piece of trash, and given the chance he would definitely take that guy out. Just as Old Zhao happened to look over, Guan Daorong switched back to a pitiful look, hiding his killing intent.

So Huo Gai found Sha Xiuwen.

This girl had been swindled by Huo Gai before Lu Yuzhu; after her money was drained dry, she was heartlessly dumped by Huo Gai...
