Chapter 1167: Little Angel and the Lunatic 09

"This place looks strange."

Luo Rui'an looked up in surprise at the dark mansion shrouded in thorny vines, "Are there humans living inside?"

"My uncle lives inside."

Jin Zhiyan led him along, explaining, "My uncle suffers from a severe mental illness; when he has an episode, he hurts those around him, so he moved here alone."

"No wonder you call him a lunatic."

Luo Rui'an suddenly understood, hearing the wolves' howls growing closer.

The guard at the iron-barred main gate stretched out a hand to block them, "The master hasn't invited anyone today."

Jin Zhiyan put on a smile, "I'm just here to see my uncle; please let him know."

The guard remained unmoved, expression cold, "The master is not available."

Jin Zhiyan: "……"

You haven't even passed along the message—how do you know if he's free or not!

How could a lunatic possibly be busy up in the sky?

Jin Zhiyan's smile stiffened slightly, hard to keep.

Luo Rui'an couldn't take it anymore, grabbed the guard and flung him against the wall, "Get out! Don't waste my time."

He was domineering in aura, coldly watching as the guard was slammed until his head bled, "Humans really are fragile."

Jin Zhiyan saw it in his eyes, his apprehension growing heavier, though he showed nothing on his face, he led Luo Rui'an further inside.

The armed guards in the dark were about to act, but they heard the butler's voice through their earpieces.

"Let them in."

After truly entering the main gate, Luo Rui'an felt this place wasn't so strange anymore; although it was dark-toned, flowers bloomed profusely among the thicket, very beautiful.

He watched excitedly, then suddenly sensed an unusual tremor in the left thicket; just as he looked, five wolves lunged out and startled him.

"Monster!"

Luo Rui'an exclaimed, "How does Earth also have such monsters!"

The two were surrounded by the five wolves; without Jin Chen's spiritual power suppressing them, the ferocious alpha wolf lunged at Jin Zhiyan, its beastly eyes bloodthirsty.

Jin Zhiyan stumbled backward, fell to the ground unable to keep his balance, and could only scramble away on hands and feet.

"Don't come over! Get out!"

Luo Rui'an was startled back to awareness by that scream, glanced back at the disheveled Jin Zhiyan, and frowned slightly.

"Never mind, Earthlings are all like that."

He grabbed the lunging alpha wolf, infused it with angelic divine power, his eyes fierce.

"Compared to dark monsters, they're far off—Earth's monsters are this weak."

Luo Rui'an tossed aside the alpha wolf's corpse, rolled his eyes in disgust, and shook his hand.

The alpha wolf died; the remaining four wolves stayed wary, not daring to advance, while the hidden trainer hurried out, leading the restless wolves.

Jin Zhiyan climbed up from the ground, angrily scolding, "How are you doing your job?"

The trainer gave a false smile, "This is the master's estate, and the wolves are his pets."

"You not only trespassed without permission, but also repeatedly injured the guard and killed the pet wolf."

As his words fell, the butler descended the stairs, his tall stature immensely oppressive.

"The master requests your presence."

Jin Zhiyan, belatedly realizing, felt a chill run through his body.

He froze on the spot, bad memories flooding back, instinctive fear enveloping him.

Luo Rui'an didn't understand what he feared, hooked his arm and patted, "I'm here—what do you have to fear?"

Jin Zhiyan closed his eyes, feeling he shouldn't have brought Luo Rui'an today.

The butler's gaze lingered on Luo Rui'an's face for a few seconds, then quickly shifted away, blocking Jin Zhiyan's path to exit.

"Please."

Jin Zhiyan could only steel himself, entering the estate with Luo Rui'an, after which the main gate was locked tight.

At the moment the door was locked, three guns were aimed at their heads.

Jin Zhiyan's breath caught, "... you... you."

The expressionless black-clad person said nothing, the gun barrel pressed against his head.

"The master is waiting."

The butler was equally calm, as if what faced them wasn't something that could kill with three guns, but an insignificant toy.

Luo Rui'an was also startled, never expecting the master here to have guns, yet his aura remained fierce.

"If we're going, then I'm not afraid."

The two were practically shoved into the basement.

The dim, spacious area echoed with what sounded like endless dripping water.

Upon entering the underground, a sticky, damp chill gradually crept over his whole body.

Luo Rui'an, who grew up on the sunny Angel Star, intensely disliked this feeling; even his breath carried the cool moisture.

The spiral staircase went down layer after layer, ahead always dark.

Until they entered the freezing-cold basement.

Jin Chen sat directly ahead, waiting, a playful smile on his face.

"Welcome."

His tone was sinister.

0731 silently sighed.

No wonder you're the Host; looking like that, you're certainly not a good person.

Jin Zhiyan was struck by the gun behind him, frightened until his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, his voice trembling, while he was still annoyed that Jin Chen had another episode.

"Little uncle... we didn't mean to, today we just wanted to bring my boyfriend to see you."

"Thinking the guard would stop us, I got impulsive and... lashed out."

Jin Chen's intensely oppressive gaze made Jin Zhiyan's explanation come out haltingly.

Jin Chen snorted coldly, "Am I dead? Do I really need you to come all the way just to pay respects?"

"No... I didn't mean it that way!"

Jin Zhiyan stood up, clenched his fists, and only by exerting himself could he lessen the fear in his heart.

"I'm just... ahhh!"

He suddenly screamed as the shot flying knife slit his shoulder; after the sound of tearing air, the knife plunged straight into the wall.

Jin Chen withdrew his hand, then picked up another from above, stroking the blade with his fingertip.

"I don't like people speaking while standing; kneel."

Luo Rui'an endured and endured; seeing his lover humiliated, he could no longer hold back, he flung aside the two black-clothed guards holding him, his fingers curled into claws, angelic power gathering in his palm, his blood-red pupils growing ever more eerie.

"Make him kneel—what are you even supposed to be?!"

Jin Chen calmly lifted his gaze, glancing at the protagonist's uke who bore some resemblance to his own wife.

"Red-haired mongrel."

He shifted his gaze, his mocking eyes turning to Jin Zhiyan: "Your taste is pretty bad."

Jin Zhiyan: "..."

Luo Rui'an's anger made his hair explode outward, the airflow overturning the nearby tables and chairs.

He shouted angrily, "You're the mongrel! Foolish human, I will kill you!"

His palm flipped and flung, angelic divine power shooting straight toward Jin Chen.

A carefree smile tugged at the corner of Jin Chen's mouth, his eyes slightly lifting.

Nothing happened.

Just like setting off a dud firecracker.

This made Luo Rui'an's earlier grand display look especially ridiculous.

Luo Rui'an watched in horror as his power was dispersed, his voice cracking: "How is this possible!"

"How... you're not human?!"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Cursing so filthily?"

He grabbed the flying knife again, smiling with a chilling aura, excited and bloodthirsty.

"Then next, it's my turn."

"No!!"

Jin Zhiyan stepped in front of the still dazed Luo Rui'an, his face pale, "Little uncle! You can't kill us!"

"I'm your own nephew! Didn't you say... you wouldn't kill me?"

"You're having an episode now; you should go take your medicine..."
