Chapter 51: A Family Must

~8 min read 1,486 words

Dr. Xu's home.

Spacious and bright, a warmth hit him as soon as he opened the door.

A petite girl with twin tails rushed to Wu Xian quickly. This should be Xu Ming's daughter, Xu Xiaoyan.

"Dad, I've been waiting for you to come home, I've been so good!"

She was clearly quite old, but her personality was still like a child, her big eyes were watery, and her expression was pitiful. Wu Xian couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

Wu Xian pushed Xu Xiaoyan into the living room.

Feeling the soothing force of her fingertips and smelling the fragrant scent on her, Wu Xian felt a comfort he had never felt before, so he closed his eyes to enjoy it.

Mother Ye Shuxia said with slurred speech.

He Ya sat on the sofa, held Wu Xian's head, and let him rest on her lap. Her fair, slender fingers, where blood vessels could be clearly seen, gently rubbed Wu Xian's temples.

When far enough away from He Ya.

Between half-dream and half-awake.

Wu Xian shuddered.

Seeing Wu Xian return.

"It's good for the child to come back late. If he came back early, wouldn't he become like us?"

The speaker was a little old man wearing a vest with a straight face. This should be Xu Ming's father, Xu Qingfeng.

He Ya's massage was too comfortable!

"Why are you back? I don't know if you feel sorry for your wife and daughter. How long have they been waiting for you!"

Wu Xian hurriedly apologized with a smile.

An old woman with gray hair walked out of the kitchen. She should be the doctor's mother, Ye Shuxia. She looked at Wu Xian with a smile.

"Why are you back so late today? Is work busy?"

That was a soft maggot!

The fingers rubbing his temples were no longer warm and soft, but cold and greasy. The smell in his nose was not the pleasant body scent, but the pungent smell of blood and rot.

He Ya touched her cheek with resentment: "Why are you back so late today? If it weren't so late... I might still be as beautiful as before."

Wu Xian explained subconsciously: "Well, it's very busy today, I have to do a psychiatric evaluation for the Investigation Bureau."

The room was hung with colorful flags and lights, a large table of dishes was set on the dining table, and a four-layer cake decorated with fruits was placed in the middle, with cherries, strawberries, bayberries, red dates, cherry tomatoes...

Regardless of whether he could beat them, at least he could fight.

The warmth just now increased the sense of horror at this moment.

He was not a real husband after all, and he didn't want to be Cao Cao. What if this wife suddenly wanted to...

On the small tip of the top layer of the cake, there was a peeled lychee.

Like a cat with its fur standing on end, he instantly turned over and got off the ground, his curly hair even straightened a bit.

He soon got along well with the four parents, wife, and daughter, drinking and enjoying themselves. The whole dinner was very harmonious. Although Wu Xian was just a Lotus Juanren lurking in Xu Ming's body, there was no embarrassment or barrier when getting along with these four.

He slowly retreated to the kitchen. There were no weapons to deal with malevolent entities at home. The only thing that might have some effect was the kitchen knife.

First is the rhythm.

Although he was scolded, he felt a sense of intimacy in the words. This little old man was once a relatively famous teacher, and the older he got, the stranger his temper became.

Wu Xian suddenly felt that something was crawling on his cheek.

A family of five, happy and harmonious.

He sighed at Wu Xian: "Sigh, why are you back? Once you return home, there is no way to escape from us again."

"But... but why didn't you come to save me!"

A gentle woman with hair combed to the side on her shoulder and wearing an apron walked over quickly, took Wu Xian's bag, and helped him take off his coat.

"I've been waiting for you, I've been so good!"

Wu Xian began to ponder the similarities and differences between this Blessed Land and the last one.

Wu Xian didn't want to cause any trouble.

Wu Xian's scalp went numb.

"What's wrong, dear, do you think I'm beautiful?"

Wu Xian was a little embarrassed.

But Wu Xian didn't dare to be careless.

This Blessed Land was not so tense. A whole day had passed, and Wu Xian hadn't encountered any real danger, so Wu Xian was a bit slack.

But the story didn't develop in the direction Wu Xian expected.

Father Xu Qingfeng's body had a gap of about ten centimeters in the center. He was split from the middle. Looking at the incision, the human tissues inside were unobstructed.

The cheeks on both sides of the mouth were split open, revealing red, cut flesh.

In this rare leisure time.

Xu Ming, your wife is great!

As for now...

"It's good to come back late. There was an accident when cooking just now. The four of us cleaned up for a long time. If you had come back then, the birthday wouldn't have been easy."

As soon as Wu Xian turned around, he saw the kitchen refrigerator was open, and his daughter Xu Xiaoyan was standing in front of the refrigerator, stuffing things into her mouth frantically.

Although the last Blessed Land was full of malevolent entities, those entities were mostly straightforward and rarely hid. And most importantly, in that Blessed Land, Wu Xian always had the ability to fight back.

She noticed Wu Xian, turned around, and shed tears with grievance.

Xu Xiaoyan's cheeks were extremely pale, the lower half of her clothes was stained red, and there was a large hole in her stomach. The bread, milk, ham, and other things she had just eaten flowed out from the hole.

Wu Xian nodded with a smile.

The skin on other parts of her face was also bruised, and her home clothes were already stained red with blood. There were dozens of knife wounds on them, and some newly born maggots were crawling slowly on her body.

But in the end, nothing happened. Even though it was late at night outside, no malevolent entities or ghosts appeared, so Wu Xian gradually relaxed.

"Dad, I'm so hungry, I don't know what's going on, I'm always not full."

Her voice was gentle and magnetic, making Wu Xian feel itchy in his heart. She should be Xu Ming's wife, He Ya, a full-time housewife who had been supporting Xu Ming's work all these years.

When Wu Xian first entered this Blessed Land, he was already in a state of extreme exhaustion, and after being on tenterhooks for a day, he was already exhausted, so he gradually became sleepy.

The night grew deeper.

In the last Blessed Land, they could only move in a small area around the Ping'an Hotel, but this time they could go anywhere in the city. Except for the text of the Juanren in his eyes, there were no other restrictions.

But Wu Xian knew very well in his heart that relaxation and freedom were only temporary. The office full of covered traces, the broken Ten-Soul Banner, and the customer who died in the barbershop told him that under the calm water surface of this world, there must be surging waves, and the big mouth of the sea monster in the waves might have already aimed at Wu Xian's small sampan.

Wu Xian retreated slowly, wanting to escape from this home quickly, and happened to run into Dr. Xu's parents who had just come out of the room.

A scolding came from the sofa.

The wife didn't take any further action.

He Ya smiled gently at Wu Xian.

Wu Xian raised his eyelids, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"It must not have been easy today. I haven't seen you so tired for a long time. Let me give you a massage."

And now he was completely an ordinary person, but he had fallen into the encirclement of malevolent entities.

The old man and the child both went to sleep, leaving only the couple in the living room.

In this atmosphere.

Secondly, freedom.

During this period, Wu Xian had been guarding against everything.

He picked up the thing with his fingers.

Her tongue hung outside, and there was a slanted knife wound on her neck. Below the knife wound, it was already stained red by blood.

He Ya, Xu Qingfeng, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Shuxia...

Xu Ming's four relatives were all malevolent entities!

The guidance of the Lotus Juanren sent Wu Xian into a nest of malevolent entities!
