Fu Shi looked at Shen Chun helplessly and could only give up. Then, he turned around and answered the call. “Hello? What’s the matter?”
Shen Chun could only watch in a daze as Fu Shi picked up the phone because he didn’t put it on speaker.
However, from Fu Shi’s expression, it was probably not a serious matter. But if it wasn’t important, why was the person calling at this time?
Bored, Shen Chun played with the glass bottle in her hand again.
After a while, Fu Shi hung up the phone and said emotionlessly, “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow for about three days.”
Her hand paused for a moment before she placed the glass bottle on the table. “Okay, be careful.”
Fu Shi remained silent.
Shen Chun couldn’t stand Fu Shi’s stare, so she hurriedly stood up to give an excuse. “Um, Hubby, I’m a little tired, so I’ll go wash up and sleep first.”
Fu Shi replied indifferently, “Sure.”
He watched as Shen Chun jogged into the room. Just as he was about to retract his gaze, he saw Shen Chun leaning against the door and sticking her head out. “Hubby, when are you leaving tomorrow?”
“Nine o’clock,” Fu Shi answered.
When Shen Chun heard this, she pursed her lips, as if she was thinking about something. Then, she smiled at Fu Shi. “Good night, Hubby.”
“Good night.”
After receiving Fu Shi’s response, Shen Chun closed the door.
She perked up and rummaged through the yellow paper, cinnabar, copper coins she had bought at the antique street, and a pouch. Then, she placed them all on the bed.
For safety reasons, it was better to prepare a talisman for Fu Shi when he went on a business trip. A talisman could exorcise evil, so it was better not to use that bracelet.
Shen Chun was already sleepy, so after that, she fell asleep.
The moonlight gradually deepened, and the bleak moonlight reflected on the glass bottle on the bedside table.
A wisp of black energy immediately broke out of the Gu worm’s body.
The Gu worm’s color also became lighter and lighter before gradually turning into dust.
The black energy floated up and rushed out of the window. Then, it streaked across the sky and arrived at a hidden forest.
It melted into a woman’s hand.
“Hmph, you ruined my plan.” After the woman woke up from her meditation, she shouted angrily and slammed the wooden table into pieces.
She narrowed her eyes. In an instant, the black energy around her churned as she continued with a ferocious expression, “I didn’t expect that kid to go back on his word at the last minute. I thought I could use this to increase my strength. What a weak and useless thing.”
At this moment, a man walked in. His limbs were stiff, and his eyes were empty. Even the skin on his face showed signs of decay. He asked emotionlessly, “What’s wrong?”
When the woman saw the man walk in, her expression softened. She even walked forward to help him sit down. Gently and patiently, she touched his rotting skin and explained to the man, “The plan has been disrupted, but don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
The man turned his head mechanically. “Alright, I believe you.”
These words made a hint of ruthlessness appear in Ru Chi’s eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ve already found the next sacrifice. Soon, you’ll be able to return to my side soon.”
The next day.
Shen Chun was woken up by Shen Chi.
At the dining table, Fu Shi’s expression was dark as he ate. Shen Chun thought that Fu Shi was still thinking about the question from last night.
Alright, she would solve the trouble she caused herself.
Without another word, Shen Chun ran back to her room and placed the string of copper coins and talisman she had processed yesterday into her purse. With a piece of bread in her mouth, she handed it to Fu Shi.
Fu Shi held it in his hand and deliberated for a moment. “I’m going on a business trip, not to die.”
His words were incorrect.
Shen Chun corrected her. “It’s always good to be careful. I’m just concerned about you.”
Fu Shi couldn’t refute, so he put the things in his pocket.
Before he left, Fu Shi said earnestly, “Take care of yourself too.”
After Fu Shi left, Shen Chun sent Shen Chi to school and rested in the villa for almost the entire day.
When it was almost evening, Shen Chun asked the chauffeur to send her to Antique Street..
