Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 105 - 78: The Goal Is to Ruin Luan Huacheng
Beside her, Li Shang hurriedly reached out upon discovering the scene, but it was already too late.
The two of them watched helplessly as the shrunken Hanba pursued, growing larger in the air bit by bit.
The Fox Demon, who had been sure of escaping unscathed, had a smile on her face that hadn’t lasted even ten seconds before it froze.
A moment of panic in her eyes.
What the heck!?
Due to her impression of Mu Yunchu, she no longer considered herself invincible and only wanted to flee quickly.
But the distance between them was rapidly closing.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to turn around and fight.
But she was no match for the Hanba; after several attempts, she couldn’t inflict any damage on the latter, leaving her feeling utterly hopeless both physically and mentally.
The Hanba didn’t understand combat techniques and only attacked relentlessly; after several collisions, she was seriously injured.
Even that beautiful, large, fiery red tail of hers was now in a scorched state.
She felt both hatred and fear.
Covering her chest, something seemed to be rolling inside. The Fox Demon looked furiously at the ’ghost thing’ before her.
"What is this? So strong."
It seemed she couldn’t win the fight.
Her gaze fell to the figure smaller than an ant at her feet, and she suddenly got an idea.
Dive into the crowd and make these mortals her scapegoats!
She acted upon her thought immediately.
Her body twisted as she flew straight downward.
At this moment, the Hanba in the high sky behind was already preparing to gather strength.
Mu Yunchu, discerning her true intention, hurriedly interrupted the Hanba, halting it.
This granted the Fox Demon more time to flee.
A light suddenly shone beneath her feet, and the previously terrified Fox Demon had bright, glimmering eyes upon realizing something.
She was so excited she was almost crying.
"Benefactor, you’ve come to rescue me!"
She cast a distant, final glance at Mu Yunchu, mouthed something, and then completely vanished.
Mu Yunchu called the Hanba back.
Seeing the latter transformed back into a ’little pendant’, she turned curiously to look at Li Shang for an explanation.
Li Shang blinked innocently: "It’s not like you told me to be responsible for feeding it!"
Neither of them expected that just feeding it a small amount would cause the Hanba to grow again.
However, it seemed that the ’energy’ was exhausted now, as it lay in Mu Yunchu’s palm, breathing calmly as it drifted into sleep.
"Yang Ying, Yang Ying!"
Next to her, Luan Huacheng anxiously shouted.
Mu Yunchu tucked the Hanba into her pocket and looked toward the side.
Luan Huacheng was continuously shaking the unconscious Yang Ying.
"She’s okay."
"She was just possessed by a demon and needs some time to rest."
Mu Yunchu took out a talisman and placed it on her, and in less than three minutes, she slowly woke up.
However, she was completely unaware of the recent events.
She didn’t even know who Mu Yunchu or Li Shang were.
Once he settled his wife, Luan Huacheng checked the devastation in the room, looking as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"Sorry."
"There was a danger of being seen outside, so I thought it best to resolve it indoors."
Mu Yunchu explained apologetically.
Though these things were destroyed by the Fox Demon, it was still her decision to choose this place as their battleground.
"It’s alright, it’s alright."
Luan Huacheng waved his hand, indicating he didn’t mean to blame Mu Yunchu.
Moreover, Mu Yunchu was considered a lifesaver for his family.
Despite being only partially aware of what happened, he was absolutely certain of this.
Struggling to find a place to sit, Luan Huacheng wanted to grasp the full scope of the situation.
"You mean...my wife was possessed by a Fox Demon before?"
As soon as he mentioned ’Fox Demon’, he recalled the large, fiery red tail and suddenly shivered.
"But... why?"
"Are you wondering why she targeted you?"
With her chin resting on her hand and her brow slightly furrowed, Mu Yunchu said, "Actually, this is something I’ve been wanting to ascertain."
This Fox Demon was still in the cultivation stage. Generally, without any personal grudge, she wouldn’t take such actions.
Moreover, judging from her series of reactions just now, someone seemed to be instructing her.
The aim was to ruin Luan Huacheng.
Gaining possession of his body was merely a side benefit.
Thinking this through, she suddenly asked, "Mr. Luan, have you offended anyone recently?"
"Or... are you obstructing someone’s path?"
Luan Huacheng rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat distressed.
It was clear how difficult this question was for him.
In his position, if you considered offending someone or being obstruction, it was endless.
Whether publicly, privately, from those above or below, many likely wanted to see him fall.
But to be specific, those grudges wouldn’t usually escalate to such an extent.
Under Mu Yunchu’s gaze, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, which he tightly grasped.
"I don’t know if this counts."
"Recently, our city received a major project, and the developer is foreign."
It involves using their land. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"But due to that plot of land..." Luan Huacheng vaguely spoke of the land’s complexity and sensitive location, choosing only non-confidential details to share, "I didn’t approve."
Mu Yunchu’s interest piqued, prompting further questioning.
"If you were gone, would that land get approved?"
Luan Huacheng thought about his subordinates’ attitudes towards the matter, who often persuaded him.
The answer seemed clear.
Yet, he felt this was normal.
Because the opposite party was offering so much.
Agreeing to this project would greatly benefit the city’s development—not necessarily just out of their own interest.
"Yes." Luan Huacheng nodded firmly.
Mu Yunchu had her answer.
She looked up just in time to see the complexity in Luan Huacheng’s eyes, so she explained: "It’s not your subordinates."
Seeing his expression, Mu Yunchu knew he misunderstood.
However, she didn’t specify who it was.
She only left a somewhat cryptic remark.
"Your position is crucial, and it might determine the lifeline of certain individuals."
In other words, not only now, but many might eye him in the future too.
Mu Yunchu’s tone was particularly grave as she spoke.
She seemed to have sensed something.
"But there’s no need for you to worry too much. Keep this Five Emperors Coin safe—it’ll ward off most problems."
The adversaries likely wouldn’t act openly.
At least ghosts and such demons would be largely countered.
Especially with something crafted by Mu Yunchu, its effectiveness would be greater.
Before she finished speaking, Luan Huacheng saw her take out two strings of charms from her pocket.
They were crafted before she went out this time.
Of course, they weren’t free—payment was required.
"Alternatively, if you feel anything amiss, you’re welcome to contact me anytime."
Luan Huacheng nodded; after this incident, he dared not underestimate this young girl anymore.
...
Leaving Luan Huacheng’s house, she initially thought this matter might temporarily conclude.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the store, her Weibo account’s private messages exploded.
Out of a hundred people, ninety-nine were asking if ghosts and demons truly existed in this world.
She was initially puzzled until she came across a picture on the trending searches.
The image captured by an unknown, helpful netizen displayed the battle in the sky between the Hanba and the Fox Demon.
