Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 180 - 153: Heading to North City Together, a Case the Police Can’t Intervene In
Once again in the endless darkness, Wen Xu saw a little girl crying out to him for help. She was skeleton-thin, with sunken eyes, wearing only a thin piece of clothing despite the cold winter. Her cheeks and body were already reddened from the freezing cold.
Instead of stepping forward to help, Wen Xu took a step back upon seeing this scene.
Because he noticed that the little girl did not look like a normal person, neither did her face resemble that of an ordinary human. A green-blue face, her eyes filled with resentment.
When she looked at him, the girl’s pupils visibly trembled, followed by two streaks of bright red blood streaming down her cheeks.
She stretched out her hand as if to seek rescue from him, but before she could take two steps, she was suddenly dragged away by a figure that was several times larger than her.
Then came the heart-wrenching screams of agony.
The sound seemed to pound against the little girl, as if tearing her apart, torturing her for quite a while. Finally, she was tossed aside like garbage.
Behind her, a blazing fire ignited, and the girl was reduced to a charred corpse, yet this did not hinder her movement. Instead, she swiftly entangled herself around Wen Xu’s neck.
Wherever she touched him, Wen Xu felt as if he were being burned, scaldingly hot.
He wanted to struggle, but it tightened quickly. He gradually felt the air around him thinning, as if he were truly engulfed in flames.
He even felt that he might really die.
In a daze, he seemed to hear the cries of a child, clear and piteous.
Wen Xu wanted to ask her who the murderer was, but his eyelids grew heavier, and in the end, he couldn’t utter a word.
Until... a sudden coolness spread across his brow, then circulated throughout his body, not only clearing his mind but also completely dispelling the discomfort he felt.
It was as if his body had been rinsed clean by a cool spring, feeling both clean and comfortable.
He abruptly opened his eyes. Even though he had experienced this situation dozens of times, each time felt like a real escape from death.
Wen Xu couldn’t help but greedily inhale the surrounding air, catching a glimpse of Mu Yunchu’s unretracted hand out of the corner of his eye.
He couldn’t help but speculate, was the cool sensation he felt from Mu Yunchu?
He waited for a while, but found that the other party had no intention of asking anything, so he relaxed and leaned against the back of his chair.
Yet out of the corner of his eye, he couldn’t help but secretly observe Mu Yunchu.
Noticing that she was eating the meal provided on the plane.
Wen Xu had come to find Mu Yunchu in the morning, but the earliest flight from Qinghe to North City was at four o’clock in the afternoon, just in time for dinner.
When Mu Yunchu ate, she was slightly different from usual.
It seemed that only when she was eating, could one truly feel she belonged to the mortal world.
It was as if she sensed his gaze, Mu Yunchu picked up a box from the other side of the table and brought it over.
"Want some?"
Wen Xu’s gaze shifted from her face to her hand.
Mu Yunchu said, "The flight attendant came when you were asleep. I didn’t know what you wanted to eat, so I took the liberty of ordering you some pasta."
The other choice was chicken fried rice.
Wen Xu didn’t think much about it and declined directly.
"I’m not hungry yet."
"Okay." Mu Yunchu didn’t insist, and directly retracted her hand.
If he didn’t eat, she could save it for Li Shang to eat later.
Although Wen Xu said he wasn’t eating, his gaze never left Mu Yunchu, instead, he seemed to have gained more blatant permission to watch her.
Of course, this wasn’t because of any romantic intentions...
But because Mu Yunchu’s eating was quite appetizing.
Bite after bite, she chewed quickly, and when she wasn’t picking up food, her cheeks slightly puffed up, confirming that she was indeed eating.
Wen Xu swallowed instinctively, and his stomach growled.
He realized he was hungry.
But having just refused, changing his mind now seemed a bit inappropriate.
Just as he planned to hold off a little longer, seeing as Mu Yunchu would soon finish eating, he watched as she just closed one box and opened another.
Inside was chicken fried rice.
Wen Xu: ???
Was she eating two portions?
His first thought wasn’t to question why a girl would eat so much, but rather to crane his neck to see if the portion meant for him was still there.
Noticing the familiar box, he silently sighed in relief.
But he couldn’t hold it anymore this time.
So he asked for the airplane meal he had just refused to take back.
Though Wen Xu was slightly surprised by his own behavior, he didn’t feel embarrassed and expressionlessly forked the pasta into his mouth, not sure if it was a misconception, but he felt the pasta tasted particularly good today.
He was full, but someone else didn’t get to eat because of it.
Mu Yunchu listened to the pained howls of Li Shang in her ear, even the corner of her eye reflected a trace of a smile.
Because this time they could only appear at the airport together, it wasn’t convenient to bring anyone else. And Li Shang had issues with identity verification and couldn’t board the flight, so her soul was attached to Mu Yunchu’s hair clip by her ear.
If she spoke, Mu Yunchu could hear her.
And if Wen Xu didn’t eat that meal, it could be taken down for Li Shang to try.
After all, she had never had airplane food before.
So at the moment, watching her ’almost had’ food eaten by someone else, Li Shang couldn’t be more heartbroken.
She even threatened to possess Wen Xu to make him suffer a bit.
Mu Yunchu couldn’t speak to comfort her.
If she spoke, Wen Xu would definitely sense something amiss. So, she could only smile quietly and leave half of her meal untouched.
Perhaps due to crafting Five Emperors Coin and drawing talismans recently, Mu Yunchu’s appetite had increased significantly.
As it was all used to restore her spiritual energy, she hadn’t gained weight over the days, but instead, she appeared even slimmer.
When the plane landed completely, Mu Yunchu found an excuse for Li Shang to eat the half portion of airplane food. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Actually, the taste was average, especially compared to Ye Zhixia’s cooking skills. But Li Shang seemed a bit unsatisfied, even asking Mu Yunchu if they could buy evening tickets on their return.
Reuniting with Wen Xu later, he finally couldn’t hold back and asked the question he’d been curious about throughout the journey—where exactly were they going?
Had the murderer really fled to North City?
"If the North City police’s assistance is needed, I can call Captain Zhou in advance."
Mu Yunchu shook her head, "Not for now."
She understood Zhou Zhicheng’s temperament.
If she informed him just like that, he’d probably rush directly to North City within a few hours.
But before dealing with the two murderers, Mu Yunchu had another pressing matter to attend to.
A matter the police couldn’t step in to handle.
Mu Yunchu made a phone call in front of Wen Xu.
From the conversation, it was clear she had arranged to meet someone here.
Not long after hanging up, Wen Xu saw a large meeting sign being waved in the air not far away.
And on the sign... he shrank his pupils, recognizing it as a familiar place.
