I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1643 - 1647: Explode from a Single Glance

When Zhang Menglong returned to the Gu Family, it was almost dark, but his departure didn't attract much attention. After all, to most people, he was just someone dispensable; some even wished he would meet with an unfortunate accident outside!

Back in his room, he found some cold leftovers. The food was of the same standard as what the other servants of the Gu Family ate, and the death of the former steward didn't seem to deter the new ones. In their eyes, the fact that the Gu Family kept him, this puppet, was already a heavenly blessing.

"Good, so you're never apart from me!" Zhang Menglong suddenly sensed the presence of the person who had been following him during the day. A mere house servant, not even close to a perfect being, with slightly better skills would certainly try to evade the senses of a perfect being at the sixth level, wouldn't they?

"You like to follow me, don't you?" Zhang Menglong chuckled. "Do you know what it means to explode with one more glance or to melt if you get a bit closer?"

"Where on earth did this kid go today?" A servant hiding outside the room was monitoring Zhang Menglong's every move. He was reprimanded by Gu Xiao's third uncle, Gu Meng, because he lost track of Zhang Menglong this morning, and this time, he absolutely could not lose him again.

Suddenly, he felt a burning pain in his arm. Looking closely, an invisible, transparent flame seemed to be burning his arm, starting to melt it away!

From hair to skin, from muscle to bone, his face began to twist, like a wax statue.

"Ah!" He suddenly let out a scream that pierced the night sky, causing many people to come out of their rooms.

"The sound came from Young Master Gu Xiao's room!"

"What's going on? Could it be that the manager mysteriously died today and now the young master is being avenged? After all, the manager was one of the third master's people, and he's a very petty person."

"That's not likely, is it? Young Master Gu Xiao is the son of the head of the family. Even ten masters wouldn't dare to do anything reckless in their own home; does he have a death wish?"

"Quick, go take a look."

"Let's go, let's go..."

Within a few breaths, many people appeared near Gu Xiao's room. Nearby, a man, burned and twisted, was screaming mournfully, having turned into a pink blob of flesh with no distinguishable features.

While everyone was still in shock, his body started to swell like a balloon. With a sound of explosion, the blob of flesh exploded, scattering flesh and bone everywhere, which then burned into nothingness in the unseen flames.

"What... what happened? Is this place haunted?"

"This is too tragic, it's like a slaughterhouse!"

"Who was that? Why were they outside Young Master Gu Xiao's room?"

Many were discussing, but no one could recognize who the blob of flesh had been.

"One more glance and you'll explode, get a bit closer, and you'll melt... Baby, baby..."

A strange melody drifted out from Gu Xiao's room. Although the tune was odd, when others heard the lyrics clearly, they felt a chill down their spine. Didn't that unknown person just melt and then explode?

Could this be a warning to others to stay away, or else this would be their fate?

But isn't Gu Xiao a puppet? How could he possess such an ability? Even the third master, a Divine Breath seventh-level expert, didn't possess such an invisible killing skill.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" Zhang Menglong poked his head out. "What are you all doing here at night instead of sleeping? Holding a party at my residence, are you? You'd better understand one thing, I'm not dead yet; are you treating me as invisible?"

"Young Master Gu Xiao, we heard some strange noises from your place, and we were afraid something might have happened to you, so we came over," someone hurriedly explained. "Didn't you hear the scream just now?"

"Yes, young master, someone just exploded randomly at your door."

"Who?" Zhang Menglong pretended to look around. "What kind of nonsense are you all on about? Even the body is gone, and they exploded? I was just singing; can you leave me alone and not interrupt my singing?"

"Yes, we will leave right away!"

Today's Gu Xiao was truly bizarre. First, the former manager mysteriously scared to death in his room, then he disappeared for an entire day, and finally, someone died around him.

Actually, everyone knew well that the person was likely sent to spy on his every move. But it was evident that someone didn't want those watching Gu Xiao to have it easy, and this person was very powerful and had extremely strange methods!

...

"Randomly melted and exploded?" Gu Meng, who heard the news from his room, was puzzled.

He had sent his trusted aide, whose strength wasn't significant but was at Level One perfect being.

Such a death would only be achievable by someone at a very high life level.

And he had already checked Gu Xiao's body today, which, apart from reaching near Divine Breath first-grade strength physically, showed no energy fluctuations.

And that trusted aide was clearly killed by some kind of energy, which was absolutely not done by Gu Xiao!

"Could it be that big brother sent someone to protect him secretly?"

Actually, even when Gu Xiao's room was mysteriously hit by a fireball, it aroused some suspicion from Gu Xiao's father. He feared someone might want to assassinate Gu Xiao. Even Gu Meng suspected this, but there were no traces of evidence.

It now seems likely that after that, he found someone to protect Gu Xiao, which would explain both the manager's and the trusted aide's deaths.

But in his impression, his big brother didn't have such extraordinary talents around him! Or was it someone his big brother secretly trained outside?

But in any case, he probably couldn't make a move on Gu Xiao now.

"Forget it, since that's the case, let it be!" Gu Meng also had no way to disrupt Gu Xiao's marriage alliance with the Royal Family.

"However..." Gu Meng's lips curled up slightly, "This marriage alliance isn't that simple either. The Third Princess, with her pride and natural talent, how could she marry Gu Xiao, this puppet, without any complaints?"

"After they get married, life is bound to be exciting, and perhaps the wedding might not even go smoothly. Just wait and see the show?"

...

"Finally, no annoying tails!"

Zhang Menglong's warning obviously worked, and after Gou Dan's repeated confirmation, there were no other people's presences around.

Next, it was about strengthening this body first!

This body was too weak at its foundation, and if Zhang Menglong wanted to quickly elevate his life level, ordinary means wouldn't suffice.

But he had plenty of extraordinary means...
