Flash Marriage and Mysterious Hubby-Chapter 528 Whats There to be Afraid of Im Here
Huo Yaoting turned his head and stared coldly at her, "Too late."
"?" Ye Xi's pupils constricted.
Then the sound of the engine stopped and the car stopped. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
Ye Xi looked at Huo Yaoting, his heart beating with a chaotic and terrifying speed.
She watched him open the car door and get out, and then the sound of heavy footsteps on his pounding heart came around the front of the car to her side and opened the door, the cold wrist gripped by the man's powerful hand.
Ye Xi's body was stiff like a piece of wood, his legs were weak, and he was almost dragged down the carriage.
Leaning on his side, Ye Xi stared at the scene in front of him in a daze of fear.
Misty, dark, dense branches bared their fangs and brandished their claws like malevolent ghosts reaching out their hands towards her. Occasionally, strange cries could be heard in the forest, like ghosts trying to take their lives.
Ye Xi was so afraid that his entire body broke out in cold sweat, but he was caught off guard by surprise.
There were silver slips of paper stuck into the grave, and in front of the grave there was burnt wax. Lying on either side of her were a few paper puppets, all of them gri
ing at her with blood-red mouths, and on the tree trunks that covered the grave there were even some paper dresses.
Ye Xi's body trembled like a cornucopia and his limbs became ice-cold. He once thought that he was in a different world that didn't have any temperature.
"Where is this?" Ye Xi trembled as he asked in a low voice while leaning against the man's body that was as hard as steel.
Huo Yaoting's eyes darkened, he stared straight at the tomb, holding Ye Xi's hand, he walked towards it step by step.
"No, no ?" Ye Xi shrank back in fear, unwilling to go any further.
Huo Yaoting's large hands grabbed onto her, not allowing her to retreat. He half-forcefully pulled Ye Xi over. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
Close by, the wooden puppets stared at her with their bloody mouths wide open as they smiled. The paper clothes hanging from the tree branches flapped even louder, and the forest cries of strange creatures could be heard. The sound of falling leaves beneath their feet became eerie and eerie.
It wasn't because Ye Xi was timid in the first place, but more so because this place was truly frightening and cold, unlike any other normal places.
Ye Xi's tiny body was shaking so much that it almost broke down. Her teeth were chattering and her face was as pale as snow. She looked like she was about to cry.
She tightly held onto the man's firm and powerful arm, her face was frightened as she hid on his arm, not daring to look around.
Her heart was beating abnormally fast, as if sharp claws were going to pierce into her chest in the next second and tear her heart out.
Perhaps, due to Ye Xi's frightened look, the man's heart that was as hard as stone finally had a little bit of pity. He opened his arms and hugged Ye Xi tightly in his embrace, his black and red eyes looked down at her, but there was not a single trace of warmth in them.
Ye Xi clenched her trembling teeth tightly and raised her snow-white face to look at him. Fear and panic were clearly imprinted in her moist eyes.
Huo Yaoting caressed Ye Xi's pale lips and said with a calm and cold voice, "What are you afraid of, I'm here."
"?" Ye Xi frowned, his eyes flickering with unease, "Where are we?"
"Here ?" Huo Yaoting laughed coldly. His eyes were filled with confusion and a layer of ice while his pleasant and cold voice sounded ethereal. He recalled, "They called this place the Rebirth Grounds."
"As long as you are able to walk out of here alive, it means that you have been reborn. It means that you will obtain an inexhaustible wealth, and everyone will respect you for your status, and you will have the ability to overturn the clouds and rain."
"?" Ye Xi saw the killing intent and bloodlust in his eyes, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.
She suddenly remembered that Chu Lingtian had once told her the story of Huo's Group's heir selection.
What did he say about this selection? He said... It's like the real version of The Hunger Games.
It was just that the people in the 12 regions of the? Hunger Games? did not know each other. They relied on constant killing to survive, and only the person who won in the end could survive.
And in the selection of Huo's Group, the relationship between the candidates, were actually siblings!
At this moment, Ye Xi stood at this so-called "rebirth scene", and once again recalled the story that Chu Lingtian had told her.
Huo Yaoting saw that Ye Xi's eyes were violently trembling from extreme fear, and that his eyes were sunken in. He reached out and rubbed the back of her neck, "In my opinion, this place is just a slaughterhouse. The person in there is like an animal struggling to its death in a fu
y-looking ma
er. The purpose is to please the person who is watching the show. "
Ye Xi's breath became cold, the cold water vapor rose from the soles of her feet to her head, she was frozen and unable to move.
At this moment, there were only four words in her mind: crazy!
The person who made the decision to inherit the position was either someone without a heart, or a complete madman.
"Do you know who was buried here?" Huo Yaoting faintly looked at the grave, her voice also becoming distant.
Ye Xi mustered up his courage and slowly turned to look at the grave.
The grave was simply a mound of earth, with no tombstone.
The forest was filled with thistles and thorns, but only this tomb was completely barren.
"He is Jianjia's big brother. His name is Bai An." The corner of Huo Yaoting's mouth hooked up as that handsome man slowly took shape in his mind.
"?" Ye Xi was stupefied. Because of the shock, Qingshui's pupils dilated as he stared at the grave in a daze.
He, was actually Jianjia's older brother?
and so on...
Huo Bai An, Huo Bai An...
Ye Xi suddenly covered his mouth.
She remembered.
Back then, the photo Chu Lingtian showed her had this man called Huo Bai An.
She could not remember what he looked like, but only the eyes.
It was a pair of very clean and bright eyes.
Ye Xi clenched his fists tightly, his face turned pale white as he tried to process the images flashing through his mind.
When the last photo appeared in his mind, Ye Xi abruptly closed his eyes in pain. His entire body trembled intensely due to some kind of intense emotion that he could not hold on for much longer.
Ye Xi's abnormal appearance in Huo Yaoting's eyes only caused him to blink slightly, and his voice continued unhurriedly, "When I was eight years old, Huo Feng brought me to a big house, the Huo family's old mansion. The old house was built halfway up a cold mountain, and has not been seen by anyone for a long time."
Huo Feng?
Ye Xi frowned, could this man called Huo Feng be his biological father?
"The Huo Clan Old Residence is very imposing. Other than Huo Feng's wife and children, only a few servants and mercenaries who have passed through strict selection can live here. These servants and mercenaries are usually not only there to take care of Master's living arrangements and to protect the safety of the whole house, they are also there to monitor the heirs that Huo Feng has brought back to the house. "
Huo Yaoting's voice was extremely faint, and if one listened carefully they could hear the tinge of ridicule in her voice, "Can you imagine? The CEO of Huo's Group, Wan Cheng's family was rich, but if his son wanted to eat a full meal, he would have to go through rounds after rounds of competitions or battles, and only the final victor would be able to get food. Since the age of eight, there has been no food in my stomach mixed with blood, other people's, mine. "
"?" Hearing that, Ye Xi's heart could not take it anymore.
And she knew that what he was going to say next would only be more cruel.
"Bai An was the eldest among the many children at that time, and at the age of fifteen, he already possessed a strong physique and pretty good skills. And Jianjia at that time was only five or six years old. At that time, whenever Bai An wanted to eat, other people would not even have to make a move because they were simply not Bai An's match. Since I had just arrived, I couldn't stand to starve for three days in a row. I still remember it was raining, and the weather was dark at noon, so we had a stew and some steamed buns for lunch. "
"Everyone really wants to have a bite of that Red Braised Meat, but when Bai An asked for it, no one dared to move. I watched as Bai An served the Red Braised Meat and Steamed Bun in front of Jianjia, then Jianjia happily took a steamed bun and pushed the rest to Bai An. I think that when I saw Jianjia push the Red Braised Meat to Bai An, my eyes must have been blood-red, which was why I dared to charge forward and snatch something from the brave and fearless Bai An. "
