Chapter 1600 - 291_4

But what kind of thing is this heart-leaking, air-exhausting fellow, daring to come and cross me?

The white dog's head bulged, as if horns were about to grow, and its face gradually showed tiger stripes, retaining only its dog ears, while its dog's paws seemed to be transforming into hooves.

But it was severely suppressed, the conversation between the owners left it no room for mischief, and the special changes that had just appeared quickly disappeared again.

"Hey, you're really looking down on me with dog eyes!"

Crossing over, Zhao Yi came back again, then crossed once more.

Initially, Li Zhiyuan stood inside the door waiting for a moment, and seeing Zhao Yi's playful heart rising, the young man no longer waited and walked inside.

Witnessing this scene, Zhao Yi dared not continue crossing the dog fence and immediately followed.

He didn't know if the suppression of the dog would continue after Li's departure.

Jogging up alongside, Zhao Yi sniffed and said:

"What about engraving these experiences on my tombstone? When the descendants of the Zhao family see it during grave sweeping, would they think I'm bullshitting?"

"It depends on how badass you become in the future."

"True."

Li Zhiyuan walked upstairs, preparing to go to Mr. Zhai's room.

Just reaching the second floor, he heard footsteps coming from the third-floor staircase.

Zhao Yi recognized the owner of the footsteps.

"Ah You?"

Li Zhiyuan did not go up to the third floor but continued to Mr. Zhai's room.

"I'm an outsider, it's not appropriate for me to listen in, I'll go find Ah You."

Zhao Yi walked upstairs.

This time, it wasn't Zhao Yi chickening out because he couldn't afford the gamble, but the previous incident at the door made it clear that his identity here is not equal to that of Li's.

Li could go to eavesdrop... listen in, and even if discovered, he'd have protection. If Zhao Yi went, he'd likely be screwed.

At this moment, Lin Shuyou was very anxious.

Originally he was carrying two thermos bottles, going downstairs to fetch hot water.

Unexpectedly, he encountered a ghostly wall.

A former official now True Monarch, even with his Shuping activated, was still trapped by this ghostly wall.

Lin Shuyou found it quite unbelievable.

"What the hell is this ghost?"

The usually talkative child fell into silence.

However, the big progress compared to the past was that even in his silence, he did not restrict Lin Shuyou from using True Monarch's power.

Lin Shuyou kept going up and down the stairs, unable to leave the area.

"Hey there~ are you exercising your body here?"

The moment the voice rang out, Lin Shuyou pointed the two thermos bottles in his hand as weapons at the suddenly appearing Three-eyed.

Clearly, Ah You doubted whether this Three-eyed in front of him was real.

"Heh." Zhao Yi chuckled, but fearing Ah You might really attack him, he didn't approach further.

"Come, Ah You, follow Brother, Brother will take you out."

Zhao Yi waved his hand, signaling Ah You to follow him.

Lin Shuyou hesitated for a moment but still followed.

Then,

Third floor, third floor, still the third floor, after walking about a dozen floors, it was still the third floor.

Zhao Yi touched his nose, feeling a bit awkward.

Lin Shuyou then lowered his guard, saying, "Three-eyed, it's really you."

Zhao Yi: "I'm not Zhao Yi, I'm an illusion trying to deceive you."

Lin Shuyou: "Has Brother Xiao Yuan returned?"

Zhao Yi: "Everything you see is illusory, I do not exist."

Lin Shuyou placed the thermos on the ground and sat on the steps, exposing his back completely to Zhao Yi without any defense.

"Alas, I'll wait for Brother Xiao Yuan to come and take me out, you sit down and rest, stop climbing."

Zhao Yi lit a cigarette, and after taking a deep drag, smoke rings dispersed from inside his chest through the neck area.

Then, Zhao Yi pinched the orchid gesture with his left hand and after slightly frowning, switched to another hand gesture, one he made himself, mostly because he didn't know what the peach blossom gesture was supposed to be.

His body had recently undergone many changes, but he hadn't matched the outfit yet.

Lin Shuyou sniffed, smelling a hint of peach blossom fragrance, turned to look behind, and saw Zhao Yi plucking a peach blossom petal from his clothes and placing it in his mouth.

The next moment, Zhao Yi's form disappeared from where he stood.

Lin Shuyou immediately stood up and shouted: "Three-eyed, give me a petal!"

A peach blossom petal fluttered to the ground where he stood.

Evidently, before leaving the trap, Zhao Yi did remember to lend Lin Shuyou a hand.

Lin Shuyou picked up the petal, pursed his lips, and put it in his mouth, then walked upward and truly walked out of the stairs.

Zhao Yi leaned against the corridor wall, arms crossed, waiting for him.

"How was it? Your Brother Yi isn't necessarily worse than your Brother Xiao Yuan."

"Just the cost is a bit high."

"Flowers bloom and fall, why talk about cost and no cost."

Zhao Yi turned and walked inside.

Passing Tan Wenbin's room, he reached out and pushed the door open.

He saw Tan Wenbin inside, inching towards the door, moving very slowly, small steps, but in the right direction.

The Five Senses Diagram spirit beast's characteristics made Tan Wenbin have a way even in such an environment.

Lin Shuyou wanted to enter the room to give Brother Bin a hand but was stopped by Zhao Yi, who indicated Ah You to look at the room door's dividing line.

"Three-eyed, give Brother Bin a peach blossom petal."

"He can come out on his own, only slower."

"Giving a peach blossom petal works faster, doesn't it?"

"You really think I'm a peach seller?"

Zhao Yi continued forward, actually, what really needed his attention was the room where Yin Meng and Run Sheng were, Liang Yan and Liang Li were also inside.

He opened the room door.

Inside were five people.

Liang Yan and Liang Li lay in the corner, their shoulders had several wounds, but they were still breathing, not in mortal danger.
