CH 529

As an intruder, Lin Xiao couldn’t be seen and couldn’t touch them, he moved around like a spirit observing their life and it was quite interesting.

Snow was like a daughter that hasn’t grown up yet, she was smart but was still a child that loved to play. She would either be eating snacks, playing with toys, or the dog in the yard and never stopped.

As the competent maid, Elena still had a cold expression but was efficient in her work, she cooked, cleaned, tended to the fields, and butchered the chickens and a large part of why this place was so tidy was thanks to her work.

As for ShenDai Ying, she was the master of this house. She was gentle and warm like a mom taking care of her daughter Snow and directing the maid Elena. The three of them lived peacefully and happily here.

It may not have been reality, but it all felt so real. So Lin Xiao floated around like a spirit for a while and still didn’t find any clues.

At this time, a large pot of curry was almost finished. The scent already flooded the room before the lid was opened. Snow even became obedient and washed her hands with the maid’s help and was sitting quietly at the table waiting

I guess ‘I’ should be appearing next?

Based on what they talked about earlier, he should be coming back home to eat soon. As expected, a knocking sound came soon after.

Snow reacted the quickest and started calling for her brother, Elena put down her utensils and went to open the door. When the door opened ‘Lin XIao’ appeared.

“Uh… is that me?”

The person that appeared was him, but he couldn’t speak and his head was covered with a mist like the headless horseman. Yet, the three girls reacted normally. Elena helped him change and Snow cried out wanting to be hugged.

The other him had no head so he couldn’t see his expression, but he looked happy, he walked over and patted Snow’s head then quietly walked behind ShenDai Ying and gently embraced her.

“Hm… pervert, I know what you’re thinking, but don’t rush, we can wait until tonight… now it’s time to eat!”

When ShenDai Ying felt the hug, she pinched his hands as punishment as well as made a promise for tonight. The faceless Lin Xiao relaxed and helped ShenDai Ying carry the food out.

Lin Xiao got jealous as he watched the faceless Lin Xiao act intimately with the three girls, but after thinking it over, it was actually a good thing.

Since this was ShenDia Ying’s subconscious that meant she already saw him as her own husband and was willing to spend her life with him like this.

When they all sat down and began eating the delicious curry, Lin Xiao could only watch and couldn’t eat.

So what was wrong? Everything was still peaceful as they ate, so where was the internal demon hiding?

“Ah, I almost forgot, there’s still juice!”

ShenDai Ying quickly stood up and ran to the kitchen to help everyone pour juice.

Strange, what is she in such a rush for?

Lin Xiao felt like she was acting weird and followed her in and noticed something strange! ShenDai Ying didn’t just prepare the juice, she also poured a bag of strange transparent powder that dissolved without a trace into the juice.

“This is Shen Yue Ge’s deadliest poison, no matter who eats this whether it be a human or demon, they would die instantly and there’s no cure…”

ShenDai Ying looked back at the table and heard Snow rushing her, she squeezed a smile out and then poured the juice into four cups.

“Sorry, you’re all on the hit-list, so I can only do this… this is the master’s orders, I can’t go against them.”

She bit her lips and walked out with the four cups, she was smiling but her trembling hands and her slow pace spoke of her inner turmoil.

At that instant, Lin Xiao instantly understood everything! But he didn’t know what to do and could only watch nervously.

Will sister Ying really follow her orders and kill everyone?

He definitely didn’t believe that ShenDai Ying would do something like that!

“Sorry… sorry…”

ShenDai Ying couldn’t force a smile anymore when she returned as she looked down and muttered, glancing at everyone’s drinks.

At that time, Snow couldn’t wait anymore as she lifted a cup and got ready to gulp it down.

She was sure to die if she drank it!

Snow!!!

Lin Xiao called out and tried to stop Snow! But he had no physical form and couldn’t affect the illusion in front of him.

Then, someone else started moving!

“No! … You can’t!”

ShenDai Ying reached out and slapped the cup out of Snow’s hands! The cup shattered on the floor with the juice spilling and bubbling then finally becoming a terrifying dark purple liquid.

“No! I-I can’t do this!”

In the end, ShenDai Ying couldn’t poison everyone as she frantically knocked over everyone’s cups, then she picked her cup up and backed up as if she made a decision.

“Sorry, I’m a bad woman, I shouldn’t do this… but I couldn’t go against orders and could only poison you… but I was wrong, I can’t do it, I still can’t do it!”

Who knows who ShenDai Ying was apologizing to, but she kept muttering to herself. She was already out of tears, so right now she was filled with despair and one final choice.

“I know apologizing is useless, but I don’t need your forgiveness, I just hope you can remember me… Lin Xiao, please remember me, that there once was a woman like me who liked you. Remember that although short, we had some fond memories, as long as you can remember me, that’s enough.”

ShenDai Ying smiled, she already knocked over the other cups, and the only one remaining was the one she held. She lifted the glass up and tilted it in the air like she was making a final goodbye.

“The person who should die is me.”

“I understand… I understand everything!”

Why sister Ying was crying while stabbing him, why she had so strong defenses up, why she saw a happy future yet shattered it…

“You want to kill yourself? It won’t be that easy!”

Even if it was just an illusion, Lin Xiao won’t let this tragedy happen!

Could he not do anything just because he was an intruder?

That’s right, he who just had his consciousness didn’t belong do this world and had no physical form, but this time it was different!

Because he was Lin Xiao!

“ShenDai Ying, I’ll definitely catch you this time!!!”

Lin Xiao clenched his teeth and wouldn’t give up, he thought about how he felt when he broke through her heart’s defenses and tried controlling his consciousness.

He soon got the hand of it as he became more solid and it was as if he was about to tear a gap into this illusion.

“Sister Ying, I won’t let you die!”
