Li Xianyu's blood froze. This girl wasn't Xu Wei. She was very dangerous, and most probably the prime suspect that killed Zhang Mingyu. Who exactly was she?
Or rather, what exactly was she?!
Various suspicions arose and flashed across his mind. If only he hadn't come.
It was beyond his wildest dreams. The problem actually was with Xu Wei!
"Why aren't you speaking?" Xu Wei's breath tickled his earlobe as she wrapped her arms around his waist and used a little strength to tug at him. "Eh, why are you having goosebumps?"
"I… have sensitive earlobes," Li Xianyu said with caution.
Xu Wei smiled lightly and licked his earlobe. "I see… let's not worry about the money for now. Let's go into the room. I've liked you for a long time."
"I'm not in a rush," Li Xianyu gave a taut face but tried to sound as relaxed as possible. "I'm not in the mood after what you've just said."
"But I don't want you to go," Xu Wei replied seductively.
Li Xianyu was determined. He was not as afraid now. After all, the person who was hugging him was no supernatural being or resentful spirit.
He was most afraid of the other party being one of those. Those things did not have any rationality and only acted on instinct. No matter how witty he was, it would be futile if he encountered one.
Luckily, he was faced with a normal human being. At least, her bosom was warm.
Xu Wei turned him over, lowered her neckline and heaved her chest. "Follow me into the room."
Her figure was voluptuous, but Li Xianyu did not have any hormonal reactions. He turned around calmly and opened the door as he said, "I'll… I'll leave first."
The best thing to do now was to quit!
"Hmph, you don't know your limits," Xu Wei lost her patience as a murderous intent flashed across her eyes. She raised her hand and gave a karate chop to the back of Li Xianyu's neck.
Li Xianyu exclaimed as he collapsed softly into Xu Wei's arms.
She closed the door and dragged Li Xianyu into the room.
She did not use a lot of force. In a short while, Li Xianyu regained consciousness and began to struggle.
"Better be good." Xu Wei slapped his face twice, which led Li Xianyu to shut up.
"Who exactly are you?" Li Xianyu, who was scared of another beating, did not struggle further.
"Who am I?" Xu Wei chuckled, "I'm your friend, Xu Wei."
"My friend won't laugh like an old hen," Li Xianyu exclaimed deeply, receiving two slaps to the face again.
Xu Wei suddenly retorted, "You found out when you went to the toilet just now. Hmm, what a snack. You gave yourself away. It's too tempting to not eat you up. Lad, you're good though. Although this body isn't as beautiful as me, it's quite decent. Still, you did not react. You wasted my saliva."
Li Xianyu gritted his teeth, "So, using nude photos as collateral… you were lying to me? What about Xu Wei? What have you done to her?"
He had actually almost guessed what happened to Xu Wei, as he had seen her spirit in the bathroom mirror.
Since this was a fake version of Xu Wei, whatever she said did not hold any truth. Thinking about it now, her words were indeed questionable.
Xu Wei laughed. "Don't panic. I'll send you to her right away."
After she finished her sentence, her appearance and body frame changed drastically. Her black hair turned white as a pair of long ears sprouted out from within. Her black pupils were replaced with amber ones, while her fair cheeks were replaced with demonic ones. This was her real appearance.
Demon!
Li Xianyu's heart skipped a beat.
He was almost breathless.
Luckily, Li Xianyu's worldly views had been completely re-shaped by Great-Grandma. Faced with this sight, a flash of inspiration hit him. He opened his mouth and muttered, "Demon descendant?"
Xu Wei froze and questioned, "You know about them?"
"Qingqing, bring him in." A man's voice echoed out from behind the closed door.
There was a third person in this room?
Instantly, Li Xianyu was dragged into the room by Qingqing.
The woman's wrist was strong. Her nails were hardened. He felt that as long as he moved, she would break his neck.
The curtains in the room were closed tight. Only a faint ray of white light flickered in the room. A weird smell permeated the air. It smelled like something was decomposing.
Li Xianyu's attention was swiftly brought to the man lying on the bed. He was only wearing a pair of huge pants. The muscles on his upper body was well-developed. His face was pale as he lay lazily on the bed. His look was sinister as his eyes were wily and fox-shaped. He exuded an indescribable type of charisma. He was obviously a man.
"You're not a demon descendant. At least, you haven't been awakened." The man looked at him and asked, "How do you know of their existence?"
The man's pupils were similarly amber and carried with it an air of evil, causing Li Xianyu to panic. "My great-grandma told me."
Great-grandma...
The man gave a strange, whirlpool-like gaze. "Which family or clan are you from?"
The flash in Li Xianyu's eyes dissipated. In a monotonous voice, he answered, "I don't know."
"Who is Great-Grandma?"
"I don't know. My inheritance that my father left me," Li Xianyu answered honestly as if he had been controlled externally. "She's beautiful, it's a pity she died early."
Qingqing and the man frowned upon hearing his nonsense.
They were hiding here to recuperate from their injuries. Qingqing had assumed the identity of that female student to seduce other men, in order to replenish her essence. She planned on practicing together with him and imparting her essence to him, to aid his recovery. It was a big taboo for demon descendants to prey on mortals, much less minority demon descendants like them. If they were detected, they would be doomed to death.
It would be okay if Li Xianyu was a mortal. However, it spelt trouble for them if he was a demon descendant with a background.
The man quipped, "What are you here for?"
Li Xianyu replied, "To find Xu Wei and ask her whether she was related to Zhang Mingyu's death."
Qingqing whispered, "The man whose essence I extracted last night was Zhang Mingyu. How should we deal with this rascal?"
The man went into deep thought for a while before saying, "Let's not care if he has a background or not. We can't stay here anymore. Let's change location tonight… no… Let's depart Shanghai directly. This is Baoze Group's territory. Those people won't pursue us. However, your acts of extracting essence have caused a few people to lose their lives. The authorities will trace it to this place."
"Big Brother, why can't we just hand over the thing to Baoze?" Qingqing continued, "I don't want to live my life on the run."
The man shook his head. "We were awakened after the Early Days. Even if we hand the thing to Baoze Group, we will still be reverted to our original forms and banished into the wilderness. We have trained for a few decades. Can you bear to see that? We have blood on our hands as well. No matter what, we are dead."
"What about him?" Qingqing looked towards Li Xianyu.
"Don't waste it, suck away his essence."
