Chapter 427: Chapter 427 - Han Kexin Appears Late at Night, Han Xian’s Death

Lin Hao was utterly defeated, with an expression on his face that words could not describe. "Are you that confident?" he asked.

"Absolutely." Qin Ruan ran her fingers through her hair, casting a smirking glance at Lin Hao.

The latter sighed, "You’re becoming more and more retrograde."

Qin Ruan observed the seriousness in his eyes and tried to soothe him, "You know, you’re far too tense. Don’t put that much pressure on yourself and learn to enjoy the pleasures of life.

Stay with me from now on, I’ll cover for you and ensure you lead a carefree life."

She understood that Lin Hao had had a tough time in the Su Family for three years, and it was inevitable for him to stay on edge.

Lin Hao raised his eyebrows, "Are you that powerful?"

"Absolutely!" Qin Ruan pointed downwards, "I’ve even met the Underworld King. Even if something were to happen to you, I could just send a message down there to have you taken care of."

Lin Hao’s face darkened, "Shut up, thank you very much!"

"Don’t mention it, it’s a small matter."

Qin Ruan added, "I’ve thought about your words earlier, why do I get the feeling you’re trying to stir up trouble between me and the Third Master?"

"I’m just stating the facts." Lin Hao pointed at Huo Chuan not far away, "I’m not afraid of him listening in, how is this causing a stir?"

Qin Ruan muttered, "People can be unpredictable."

Lin Hao raised his hands in surrender, "Alright, I’ll stop."

The topic of whether the Third Master favored Qin Ruan was dropped.

After a while, Lin Hao quietly asked Qin Ruan, "Tell me honestly, are you drawn to Third Master’s face, his physique, or perhaps the supreme authority of the Huo Family? You seem to have deeply rooted feelings for the Third Master."

Qin Ruan nonchalantly replied, "I like the person that the Third Master is."

"That’s what I thought." Lin Hao’s face suggested he saw right through her.

Qin Ruan merely smiled and kept silent.

She did indeed like the Third Master, and she had liked him since her previous life.

...

In the Qin Family residence, the night had set in.

After dinner, Qin Ruan went upstairs to rest.

Her eldest brother Qin Jingcen was working overtime at the company. Her second brother, Qin Mei, was out with friends, and it was unlikely that he would return home tonight.

Only Qin Ruan and Qin Anguo were left in the large Qin Family home.

Due to his health, Qin Anguo had been focusing on maintaining his wellbeing and had retired to bed early.

At midnight, Huo Chuan and Lin Hao took turns standing guard at Qin Ruan’s door as time slowly slipped away.

"BOOM!!!"

A bolt of lightning struck, followed by a loud roll of thunder.

Immediately, the sound of rain pattering began.

Qin Ruan lay in her bed, disrupted by the sound of thunder and the rain. Her peaceful sleeping face showed a hint of annoyance as her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

The continuous sound of rain was striking, making it hard to sleep peacefully.

Qin Ruan, usually a deep sleeper, turned over and pulled the blanket up around her.

The noise of the rain was so distruptive that she had to cover her head and try to continue sleeping.

"Drip..."

"Drip...Drip..."

"Drip...Drip...Drip..."

The rhythmic dripping of water could be heard inside her room.

Series upon series of drips echoed through the room, establishing a rhythm.

While the tempest outside the windows howled with a fury, the sound of the water dripping indoors was barely noticeable.

But lying in bed, Qin Ruan sensed something. Her sharp eyes flew open.

She sat up suddenly, suspiciously scanning the room in search of something.

The ominously silent room was filled with Evil Qi, signaling that something was amiss.

Qin Ruan’s sensitivity to such a presence was particularly acute.

Unable to find the source of the disturbance, she asked coldly, "Who’s there?!"

No one responded to her, and the sound of the water dripping disappeared the instant she woke up.

Qin Ruan leaned over to the bedside table and turned on the room light.

The bright light filled the room. She lowered her eyes to the wet spots on the floor by the bed, her face somber.

The water trail came from the door.

Frowning, she looked in the direction of the door and called out, "Huo Chuan, Lin Hao?"

"Knock knock ——"

The door was knocked.

"Qin Xiaowu, what’s up?"

The person guarding outside the door was Lin Hao.

Qin Ruan got up and walked to the door with her slippers on.

When the door was opened, she saw Lin Hao’s fatigued and sleepy face.

Qin Ruan asked, "Have you been guarding here all the time?"

"Hmm." Lin Hao yawned, his voice deep and hoarse: "Did the thunder wake you up?"

Her deep eyes were calm as water. When she stared at Lin Hao, there was an unmelting frost and coldness in her eyes.

"Did you notice anything unusual here?"

"No."

Lin Hao spoke casually, his expression dull, as if he was extremely sleepy.

Qin Ruan dropped her gaze to Lin Hao’s slightly raised feet, her calm gaze subsided.

She raised her sharp eyes, shooting them at Lin Hao like arrows. Her red lips were displeased and she muttered under her breath.

"Whoever the fiend is, show yourself!"

Lin Hao’s dull face began to twist and become ferocious.

A devious smile lifted the corners of his lips, "So you found out!"

Even though Lin Hao was a man, when he spoke, it was in a woman’s voice.

The familiar voice made Qin Ruan’s eyebrows twitch with disgust. It was clearly Han Kexin’s voice.

Qin Ruan leaned against the doorframe, her icy eyes stared mockingly at Lin Hao in front of her, "So it’s you!"

Now that she knew who was causing the trouble, she didn’t appear as cautious as before, but more at ease.

Lin Hao’s fatigued face revealed the same disgust.

Qin Ruan said coldly, "I’ve seen people courting death, but none as brazen as you, are you not satisfied with your death?"

Lin Hao posed coyly, his behaviour was utterly strange, "This used to be my home after all, it’s not too much to come visit, is it?"

Qin Ruan didn’t bother to argue with him, "Where’s your mother?"

Lin Hao looked down, a touch of sadness lingering around him, "She’s dead."

Qin Ruan: "I know she’s dead, didn’t she escape from the Underworld with you, isn’t she with you?"

Lin Hao looked up, angry, "When I say she’s dead, I mean her soul has dispersed."

Qin Ruan frowned, looking at the hatred on Lin Hao’s handsome face, she asked doubtfully, "Eaten by the Puppet?"

It was just a random guess, but she didn’t expect to hit the mark.

Lin Hao’s face was filled with gloom, "After Master Wu helped us escape, he ate many Puppets to cultivate. Today, he ate my mother too. Now Master Wu has transformed into a human form. I just came to tell you about it."

Qin Ruan’s eyes filled with mockery, "Are you really so kind-hearted?"

She was skeptical about this.

Han Kexin and her mother Han Xian were too cunning. She didn’t believe any word they said.

Lin Hao’s face twisted with annoyance, impatience, and humiliation. His voice was sharp and strange, "Believe it or not!"

Qin Ruan stroked her chin, examining Lin Hao from top to bottom.

Han Kexin using Lin Hao’s body, his actions, and his demeanor were all too hideous to bear.

She frowned, annoyed, "You made a home in someone else’s body, which will harm their lifespan. Come out."

"I won’t!" Lin Hao’s mouth puckered up, his face showing panic and annoyance.

If this expression was seen on a woman, it would feel just right.

But it appeared on Lin Hao, a man more than six feet tall. Qin Ruan shuddered, it was too strange, too nauseating.
