"Niannian… come out..." The mother's head moved while her voice sounded from behind her head. However, before another noise was uttered, the neck was slit, and blood splattered on the clothes and Tang Ernian's face. The head and body fell onto the floor, and what lied behind the mother was the woman in a golden hanfu.
Her eye-mouth gazed down at the man hiding inside the closet. In her perception, she was looking at a rather vulnerable young man bathing in his tears and urine. Perhaps, if he was a little older like his brother, he would have been just a man who deserved to be in her collection. However, right now, she had directives. Everyone must die, and it was such a shame that this man would never grow older.
"I like… face..." She smiled with the shape of the mouth curling up while the eye moved to curl up. Her bloodied hand then reached out to c.a.r.e.s.s his cheek. "But… too young… not good for me..." Her fingers stopped just around the lower jaw. "Sorry."
Bang! Blood splattered all over the dresser.
However, it was not because Tang Ernian died… but because the woman suddenly turned to her side and swatted down her hand! Her invisible hand chop only cut through the flesh, but the impact of the kick still threw her to the wall. Yes, a huge foot actually kicked the maiden demon to the wall!
Tang Ernian couldn't believe what he was seeing. However, there was indeed a huge woman curling like a pretzel in front of him, and she was using her arms to crawl on the ground. However, the woman's eyes were closed, and she had nothing but skin on her. Still, everything was like she was wrapped in a skintight suit made of skin.
"Idiot, this way!" A voice called out, and Tang Ernian hurriedly crawled and ran out through the gap next to Asana and the dresser door. He didn't take another look at what was happening inside the room. However, he actually ran into a nurse with a huge torso that was eating multiple spirits at once.
"What the hell is happening?" Tang Ernian wanted to turn around and take another route, but a hand grabbed onto his elbow. A person suddenly showed up running past him and dragged him forward. The nurse moved her back to let Tang Ernian pass without colliding against her.
Down the stairs, Tang Ernian seemed to recognize the profile and frame of the man dragging him. However, something felt so wrong. Still, he saw someone he could recognize. "Ming? Wait, aren't you in prison?"
He casually said this line as if their family was prone to getting jailed; well, his other cousins were very prone to ill doings that they get taken to court, only to survive through bails.
Tang Mingming only glanced at the other. "Idiot, I'm dead."
"What?" Tang Ernian twitched in disbelief, but he was quickly taken out of the residence through the exploded main door. When the young master saw the shamans and their summoning gates, he was more taken aback. However, he didn't have the time to be shocked when Tang Mingming actually hurled him into the air.
Red cloths moved to catch him and drop him just as fast on the ground. Tang Ernian cried out in pain at the loud bang, but he was a bit happy since the pain meant that he was not dreaming. He was still alive!
Li Feng kneeled next to the wriggling body before pulling him up into a sitting position. He slapped the man who was starting to space out and get deluded. "Ernian!"
"Shit, I can kiss you, Feng!" Tang Ernian then hugged the friend who really did come to save him. "But shit, what were those? I also saw someone who wasn't supposed to be there."
"Uhm, you can skip the kiss." Li Feng shuddered a little before tapping Tang Ernian again. This time, they saw Old Doctor moving through the path and towards them. The crying young master pressed himself against Li Feng in fear, but Old Doctor only opened his huge mouth and gagged out two people. They were wrapped in the shower curtain as if they were bathing together when things happened.
The woman quickly held onto herself for a cover before seeing Tang Ernian and Li Feng at crawling distance. She mercilessly tugged on the shower curtain and used it to cover herself as she ran to them. "Ernian! Feng!"
Li Feng removed his coat to give it to the woman. This was Tang Ernian's elder cousin sister. The man, who ran to them as well, must be her boyfriend that she kept on sneaking inside their house. The shaman left the three to hold one another instead before getting to his feet and walking next to Qiao Shan who was watching over the shamans in case they dared to summon another demon.
"Can you find Xiaodan?" Li Feng tried to look for clues, but the black smoke was too thick even for his eyes.
"I can try, but I don't see a need." Qiao Shan pursed her lips together. Her father's life work was getting used rather tactlessly as if it was invincible in all aspects. Why didn't they distract the ancient demon first? Now, all the non-demons were being eaten without a care.
Kaboom! The gas tank in the house finally exploded, and the flames that roared even reached way above the attic's roof. From that flames came a black figure that fled from the scene, leaving a trail of swirling blood wherever it went. Ah, no, the swirling blood was actually chasing the black figure.
The woman prepared her red cloths, but the thing actually suddenly jumped to the side. Forcing itself through one of the gates. The shamans were shocked. A demon actually fled? It was easy to go in but extremely hard to come out. Those were the rules of the gates. In an instant, the wailing hyena hybrid demon was gone.
"I wasn't fast enough..." The swirling blood morphed into his human form, and Liu Xiaodan actually fell to his knees in fatigue. Since the demon was roughly weak for a demon, he tried to practice his stunts with it. In the end, the target was able to escape him with a few injuries… but with massive mental trauma.
"Dammit, what are you doing?!" Li Feng was frustrated and shocked at the same time. He suddenly wanted to knock Liu Xiaodan's teeth out.
"Practice? What else?" Liu Xiaodan huffed before getting up again. He then looked up at the second floor, and another figure broke out of the windows.
