Careful, Breakup Fee Will Come Knocking At Your Door (Part 2)

Tian Jingzhi face-planted herself onto her bed after closing her bedroom door. She had come to terms with her twenty-plus years of bad luck, but for a monster to come knocking on her door? And it was even of a noble bearing... She, a normal civilian, really couldn't bear this kind of romantic fantasy genre!

What to do?!

Of course, ask the web!

Tian Jingzhi opened her laptop and entered ‘How to get rid of uninvited house monsters?’ in the search bar. After browsing dozens of pages, the gloomy mist on her face dissipated, and a sinister little smile appeared...

Afternoon time was when monsters were most vulnerable. After lunch, Xue Lingqiao was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. Tian Jingzhi swept over the simple and elegant gray T-shirt on his body and sneered. No matter how neat and tidy you dress, how handsome and charming you look, soon you will reveal your true form! Maybe you will become a flute or a fox demon!

She pretended to sit on the sofa casually and watched TV with Xue Lingqiao. Then, when he wasn't paying attention, she turned her head towards him and exhaled many times. Xue Lingqiao, who was attacked, instantly frowned and covered his nose. He quickly moved to the far end of the sofa, as if trying to get as far as possible from her.

“What are you doing?” Xue Lingqiao scowled.

Tian Jingzhi spread out her hands, revealing a few cloves of garlic in her palm. She looked at Xue Lingqiao proudly and said, "Nothing, just some chewing gum."

This method of exercising demons seemed effective. As a forced party, Tian Jingzhi felt she had the right to get her hands dirty and take this opportunity to beat him up. So she took a few steps forward and arrogantly exhaled another two times at Xue Lingqiao.

"Is that so?" Xue Lingqiao picked up a clove of garlic from her hand, chewed it calmly in his mouth, and then exhaled back at her, "Garlic used to only be just a condiment."

Bro! It is still a condiment! Together with coriander and fish mint, they are known to be the three major demon-killers in the seasonning world. Tian Jingzhi was so shocked that she almost blurted it out. She covered her mouth and ran back into her room.

The first round of the exorcism battle was a great success, and Tian Jingzhi, that know-it-all monster, was driven away... They say that failure will give birth to success. Tian Jingzhi deeply believed that failure has already given birth, all she has to do is raise it up.

In the wee hours of morning, Tian Jingzhi rushed into the bathroom for the tenth time and dipped her face in cold water. Looking at her refreshed face in the mirror, she started plotting another plan to drive that monster out of her house.

She slipped into Xue Lingqiao's room like a giant mouse and pulled out a peach wood sword from her back. She quietly approached Xue Lingqiao on the bed step by step. This time she will definitely not miss it. Before placing an order, she had checked online. This store is located in a small, but famous ancient district in this city. It is a century-old store. All the goods sold in the store have been blessed by a master. If it does not work, then they will accept the return and refund you.

Xue Lingqiao’s heart suddenly started to race, he opened his eyes, and his slender fingers lightly gasped onto the wooden sword. Tian Jingzhi couldn't move at all. After struggling in vain for a while, she realized that Xue Lingqiao had touched the peachwood sword, but was not repelled by it!

Tian Jingzhi became a deer caught in headlights. She could only helplessly watch as Xue Lingqiao took the wooden sword from her to examine it. Soon after a crack sound was heard and the wooden sword was broken in two. Xue Lingqiao gave her a black look and said, “...I didn’t use any strength.” Tian Jingzhi's heart completely collapsed. She smiled in embarrassment as she watched the person in front of her transformed into a disciplinary committee member and started a serious lecture, “Miss Tian, it is very disrespectful for a woman to run into another man’s room so early in the morning. No matter what age a woman is, they should love and respect themselves.”

He actually said she didn’t have any self-respect!

Although she had seven boyfriends, she still hasn’t had her first kiss, okay? In this day and age, there was no one who was as proud, as self-respecting, as conservative, as exotic, and as stubborn as her! 

Tian Jingzhi was so angry that she couldn't even remember how she exited Xue Lingqiao's bedroom.

A scholar could be killed, but not humiliated. Tian Jingzhi clenched her fists and decided to keep persisting. She needed to return the grievances she suffered from Xue Lingqiao.

There’s a saying that no matter how skilled someone was in close combat, they will still fear knives. And no matter how strong monsters are, they always fear dog’s blood.

This time, Tian Jingzhi decided not to follow any more trendy methods and decided to choose the most effective method of exorcising demons. Chinese culture was broad and profound, and using dog’s blood for subduing demons was the most traditional way.

At dawn, when the sun had only just peaked its head out, Xue Lingqiao was already  up and repairing the broken wooden fence in the yard. Tian Jingzhi sat up from her bed with disheveled hair and droozely made her way to the window. She was furious while looking at the tall and straight figure in the yard. Wretched old antique! Who even starts working so early in the morning!? Don't you know that the crime of disturbing one's sleep! You will be punished! Punished!

After washing up, Tian Jingzhi lifted half a pot of dog blood with a grim face and slowly approached Xue Lingqiao in the garden. Excited that her job was almost complete, Tian Jingshi had misstepped and tripped. The pot of dog blood that was held high accurately poured on her own head...

Xue Lingqiao silently looked at the bucket headed person and pretended that he saw nothing as he continued to nail the wooden fence gracefully.

Tian Jingzhi was lying on the ground in embarrassment. Blood splashed all over her face, but she seemed to have lost consciousness and didn't move for a long time.

After several battles with Xue Lingqiao, she had finally realized…

There was no use fighting, she will only regret it!

In short, Monster Xue is definitely not something that a weak and pitiful woman like Tian Jingzhi could not deal with.
