Su Qingzhao was terrified, no matter what the reason. He did not deserve to die so pitifully, this was a grudge which belonged to the past generation—— though he was sure that his father was not in the wrong and there was no way he would take a liking to a woman who was way below his standard and even force her but even if there was even the smallest bit of truth in this matter, he was not the one who did anything wrong! Why should he be the one to die?
Huo Lan looked at Su Qingzhao without an ounce of shame and then glanced at the calm stream which was flowing under the chasm and looked at the man who was glaring at her before spitting on the ground as she said, " You were lucky nothing else."
Her eyes were smug and gloating as if enjoying the sight of Su Qingzhao's terrified gaze and then turned to cross the bridge. She did not know where it was going to take her but as soon as she was to climb at the opposite end of the chasm, the thing which was chasing after them would not be able to catch her.
This was why she hurriedly and laboriously crossed the bridge and then turned to look at Su Qingzhao and the rest with a smirk on her face.
" That damned wh*re!" Su Qian was so angry that she could no longer control the curses which were flying out of her mouth, when she thought of how this woman tried to kill her nephew, Su Qian wished to tear the face of that little hussy!
She wished she could grant the death that this bi*ch was seeking and happily watch her die but she was stopped by Yang Yiling and Rong Si who glanced at Huo Lan and pulled her back.
Even Qin Lu and Zou Shen were angry.
" If I was to get hold of her when we get out of this place, I am going to tear her down! Not only her but that bi*ch of a mother of hers as well," Qin Lu furiously cursed after Huo Lan, no longer resembling the kind and arrogant rich master of the Qin family.
At this moment, he wished he could push Huo Lan with his hands!
Just as they were thinking of cursing Huo Lan, the latter arrived at the other end of the chasm and in front of everyone's eyes, she started undoing the ropes which tied the already flimsy bridge which caused everyone's eyes to widen.
" You fcking c*nt! You bastard! The baggage of this earth! What are you doing?" At this moment even Zou Shen who hardly cursed could hold his curses back as he glared at Huo Lan who was trying to get them killed. They could have saved themselves if they were to cross this bridge and arrive on the other side but because of Huo Lan, now they all have to stay with that ugly and dangerous thing!
Just as Zou Shen was starting another round of curses, the ghost thing which was following them arrived at the other end of the cliff with a sinister look on his face. His many faces giggled and cooed causing goosebumps to break all over their skin, Su Qingzhao and Zou Shen were so scared that their feet started to tremble as they looked at the thing. It was Su Qian who pushed them to the other side and then asked them to run to the edge of the cliff.
"It's big which is why it cannot change its direction so quickly, stay on the edge and turn when you see the chance!" Su Qian told them as they ran to the other side of the cliff just as they were turning around, they heard a scream and turned to look at Huo Lan who was on the other side of the cliff.
Huo Lan who had already untied the bridge was now cornered by a bunch of ghostly skeleton things, they clattered their teeth and looked at her with eerie grins on their faces as they approached her.
Gone was her smug and gloating rook and was now replaced with nothing but sheer terror, she took off the bracelet that she was wearing on her wrist and then showed it to the ghost things as she muttered, "Don't …Don't come close or else I will... I will kill you."
However, the talismans which she brought with her was weaker than the one which was in Su Qingzhao's hands. This was something that Huo Lan found when she met with the large thing inside the temple, thus even though it was enough to fend off feeble spirits, it was not good enough to fend off a group of these things which was why it did not make a change if anything, the presence of that talisman only infuriated the wendigos to the point that they started to growl at Huo Lan.
As the thing pounced on Huo Lan, her beautiful face turned pale and she turned to look at Su Qingzhao with terror on her face as he anxiously cried while running to the edge of the cliff as she cried, " Brother Qingzhao, I know I was wrong please…please save me… save me! My mother cannot live without me. I don't want to die please save me!"
But Su Qingzhao had been fooled by this woman twice, how can he let her fool him again? He narrowed his eyes and asked, " If you want me to save you then you better tell me what did you do to me and my brothers?!"
Why else was he willing to follow her words without even questioning her intentions till now?
Huo Lan's expression twisted as she viciously grounded her teeth and then snapped, " Su Qingzhao, you useless man. I command you to save me right now!"
But this time Su Qingzhao was prepared the second his body moved, his arm was caught by Su Qian who stopped him from throwing the talismans at Huo Lan causing her to be surrounded by the ghost things.
