The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1413 - 1426: Days of Being Spoiled by the Escape Boss (27)
In the gray memories filled within the original owner’s mind, Xu Qingqing always appeared calm and rational.
Quietly observing her resentment, her jealousy, her anger... then condemning her capriciousness and unreasonable behavior from a high position.
Suddenly losing her mother, the more she wanted to grasp her only relative tightly, the more she pushed her father away.
No one taught her how to resolve the unease and panic in her heart... especially when her status was slowly being encroached upon by others.
She could only fight, snatch, and make a fuss according to her instincts, which only made people more disgusted with her...
Xu Qingqing always maintained a faintly aloof appearance, easily receiving everything she strove for, often dismissing it disdainfully. How could she not feel lost and jealous?
"I never thought about taking anything from you. If it weren’t for Uncle Su being someone my mother loved, I wouldn’t even want to associate with your Su Family."
The original owner still remembers how Xu Qingqing looked when she spoke those words.
Despite her love for drama, she never intended to harm others, even if she detested Xu Qingqing and her mother immensely.
In the original owner’s impression, Xu Qingqing was always arrogant. Even though she and her mother came from humble beginnings, they remained aloof and reserved in front of the wealthy Su Family.
And when the campus goddess Xu Qingqing got angry, she was just as ugly and unpleasant.
Xu Qingqing choked with emotion, squinting her eyes and speaking in an even colder voice: "Seems like I’ve been too indulgent with you."
In her eyes, Su Li was like a jumping clown, bouncing left and right, endlessly making trouble, with no interest in suppressing her.
Such a fool, who can’t even win over her own father, doesn’t require her involvement to lead herself to ruin.
Unexpectedly, the person she looked down upon caused such a great disturbance without her noticing.
If it really involves her personal safety, she will have to apologize to Uncle Su... though she certainly plans to compensate in the future.
No matter what thoughts are in her mind, everything must wait until this crisis is over to be addressed.
Just as Su Li and the others retreated into the corner, the door closely watched by many was suddenly clawed open by a blackened cyan talon.
The withered claw punctured the door with a plunge, creating five holes, and with a forceful jerk inwards, the sturdy wooden door shattered into pieces.
Shards of wood sprayed onto the faces of those closest.
Su Li: "What a terrible omen, a premium rosewood door."
So much money...
The profound wealth of the Gu family was evident, with the entire mansion built and carved with the finest wood.
Su Li looked regretful, her thought process seemingly not on the same wavelength as normal people at the moment.
"Terrifying..."
"So scary..."
Normal people like Lan Cao and Lan Ye trembled like quails in fear, thinking burying their heads might somehow reduce their terror.
Xu Qingqing and the others’ expressions were especially grave; the talon was just like the monsters they faced last night.
Only those who’ve confronted it know the terrifying power contained within that withered, bluish-gray and hideous talon.
It can even tear people apart with bare hands.
No one reacted in time—the claw that shredded the door was as swift as the wind, reducing the front row by two people.
What followed was the sharp scream, and... the gulping and chewing of flesh sounds.
"Not enough, not enough, inferior stuff... Merfolk Meat, I want to eat Merfolk Meat."
A coarse, husky voice like the coldest wind seeped into the pores of everyone’s skin.
Those esteemed clan elders trembled, teeth chattering, dropping to the ground in fear, "Clan... Clan Leader..."
Hearing their murmurs, Su Li realized that the monster they witnessed was actually the clan leader.
Clearly, when seen the previous day, apart from being terribly old, he looked completely like a normal old man in every other way.
But now, through the broken door, the appearance of the monster inside was clear—the bluish-gray skin evidently no longer belonged to the realm of normal humans.
He, like a beast feeding on raw flesh and blood, was crouched over the neck of a clan elder, gulping blood.
That elder at the moment could only make hoarse sounds like a broken bellows, his temples protruding, eyes bulging and glaring, limbs continually twitching.
His consciousness evidently remained, yet he could only watch helplessly as his flesh was devoured.
After consuming the flesh and blood of two people, the color of the clan leader’s skin gradually returned to bluish-gray, looking less terrifying.
The elder at the forefront cautiously responded: "Gu Ling still hasn’t been found..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Seeing the clan leader’s blood-red eyes glance his way, the elder’s survival instincts surged, quickly adding: "Min Xing’s daughter has been brought over... her bloodline concentration has reached awakening level."
"Give it to me." The chilling, sunken voice pierced the eardrums, and the clan elders of the Gu family suppressed their fear, quickly standing to prepare to offer the already prepared Gu family bloodline.
The significance of the Gu family’s descendants lies herein.
The history of the Gu family traces back to Ancient Times, a clan favored for inheriting a hint of mermaid bloodline.
However, it’s still insufficient, merely offering a better physical constitution than ordinary people, still unable to escape aging and death...
Legend states that eating Merfolk Meat grants immortality, though exaggerated, it’s grounded in some truth.
Ordinary people who consume Merfolk Meat indeed escape death’s grasp, yet become irrational monsters...
But that’s fine; as long as Merfolk Meat is eaten continuously, it’s manageable.
Since tasting the first bite of a descendant’s flesh, he couldn’t and wouldn’t want to stop.
The clan leader’s greedy gaze fixated on Su Li and her group.
"Every core member of the Gu family present shall receive a cup of mermaid blood."
The clan elders, previously panicked and fearful, couldn’t suppress the excitement and bowed down fervently upon hearing the clan leader’s decree, "Thank you, Ancestor, for granting us rebirth."
The clan elders swiftly prepared to seize people, casting sharp glances at Su Li’s group, their gaze uncontrollably twitching.
He swiftly glanced toward Gu Minxing.
"My daughter, Gai Suli, is willing to serve the Ancestor." Gu Minxing declared loudly, while raising his hand forcefully to push Su Li forward.
Unexpectedly, Gu Minxing had sneaked behind Su Li and the others, caught off guard, pushed Su Li directly to the forefront, drenching her in the malicious and greedy eyes of the crowd.
Bearded Brother and the other elders all retreated in unison, while Su Li steadied her pace, turning her head to find Xu Qingqing had vanished without a trace.
The clan elders glared fiercely at Gu Minxing but dared not say more to the transformed monster of a clan leader, only continuing Gu Minxing’s narrative with the error, lunging forward to hand Su Li over as feed for the clan leader.
