Book 3: Chapter 11: Dreamkill spell

The moment Hong Hao Hao returned, she saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, staring at her coldly.

Whats wrong? She asked uneasily. The mans look made her afraid to use her usual coquettish methods. Did things not go smoothly over there? I didnt dare delay before hurrying back.

Youve slipped up again.

Whatslip up?

You allowed them to find a clue.

I didnt.you were the one who told me to leave the steel needle half sticking out. She explained. She saw that the water basin used to observe the cranes reports had fallen in the distance with water still pooling on the floor. It was clear the owner had just lost his temper earlier.

That was so they could save Yue Xiao Xia in the nick of time. Prior to drawing Ruan Zhan out, I cannot lose the bait. The man spoke. The zombie was just to scare them. What Im talking about is that talisman.

What happened with the talisman?

I told you to stuff it into the corpses throat. You must have felt it was dirty and just carelessly stuffed it into the mouth. Not only did it weaken the zombies power, they also ended up discovering the talisman.

I didnt, I.

Tell me, what should I do? The man laughed lightly but gave off a cruel aura.

Im sorry, it wont happen next time. Hong Hao Hao hurriedly begged for forgiveness.

There wont be a next time. The man was all smiles as he stood up.

Hong Hao Hao turned pale with fright. No, I definitely wont mess up again. Give me another chance. She knelt in front of him and hugged his legs. Dont kill me. I want to follow you. Im still useful. Please, dont kill me.

The man stretched out his hand. Hong Hao Haos face twisted in fear, without any trace of her usual charm and arrogance. She also didnt show any signs of resistance, as though she was an animal in front of a predator. She could only tremble and wait to be eaten.

The man seemed to lightly pat her head, but the hidden force within his palm turned her complexion scarlet. Get up. When did I say I was going to kill you? However, your continuous mistakes have put us at a disadvantage. I had to scold you a little. Get up.

Alright. Butwhat use is it to call this person?

Im guessing Yue Xiao Xia will move into the bar tomorrow. The man was planning ahead. Wed have to go there if we wish to seek her out at night. However, that place is protected by a formation. Its possible to feel the might of the trigrams from the outside. I need to put in some effort to capture Yue Xiao Xia.

Is there a formation that can stop you? Hong Hao Hao said flatteringly.

No need for ass kissing. My powers have yet to completely recover. I cant risk it. However. The man smiled craftily. That formation wards against spirits, but cannot deal with people. The youngster surnamed Ruan is young after all. He doesnt know that humans are whats hardest to defend against.

Should I bring that person here?

No. Just give him his instructions. Ive already had him infiltrate the bar last time and record the layout there. Ive looked it over. Just tell him theres a potted peach tree in the corner of the second floor. Have him tamper with it.

Is that the eye of the formation? Where should it be moved?

Fool. Moving something from its usual location is easily noticed. Who knows whether Ruan Zhan taught Wan Li some defensive measures prior to leaving? Just have him pour the contents of this bottle into the flowerpot. The man fished out a small bottle from his robes. There was a dark red liquid inside.

Whats this? Hong Hao Hao couldnt help but ask curiously. But she hurriedly held her tongue after recalling she had just suffered punishment.

The man laughed and stretched out his arm once again, pulling Hong Hao Hao into his arms. This is my blood mixed with Yue Xiao Xias blood, and some enchanted water. Only then can I enter her dreams. Silly thing, always wanting to get involved in everything. He gently caressed her legs, his expression completely different from his earlier ruthlessness.

Hong Hao Hao was clearly used to the mans mood swings. Seeing him interested in her once again, she took the opportunity to resume her usual seductive charms. Im just not as smart as you are. Thats why Im hell-bent on following you. But what does the spell do this time?

If its successful, I will be very happy. If its not, you will be.

What would I be happy about?

Yue Xiao Xias death. Havent you always hated her a lot?

Thats weird. Why would I hate her?

Because shes likeable, especially to those two men. Isnt that right? Hong Hao Hao wanted to refute it, but seeing the mans penetrating and terrifying eyes, she hurriedly turned her head away.
