Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Puppet Appears in Sea City, Ruanruan Prepares to Flee (Second Update)

"Who in their right mind would use dog blood?"

Only those from the Mystical Sect, with such strong positive energy that can ward off evil, would use dog blood like this.

The various inconsistencies had led Qin Ruan to intuitively sense something amiss, prompting Huo Zhi to investigate the identity of Huo Qi’s girlfriend, leading to an unexpected discovery.

Wu Fan’s handsome face was solemn as he said flatly, "Chengying has a problem, and this incident of Huo Qi being attacked also originates from him."

Turning to the main topic, Qin Ruan’s cold eyes flickered slightly, "Huo Qi was ambushed? Was it not the female Puppet?"

Wu Fan shook his head, "It was and it wasn’t a female Puppet; he was set up by someone. The original target was supposed to be Chengying, but Huo Qi also got involved unexpectedly."

Noticing that Huo Qi was gripping her hand too tightly, she patted the back of his hand to reassure him, "Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you."

With a grave expression and pursed lips, Huo Qi stared into her eyes and asked, "Did you already discover Brother Chengying’s problems?"

Wu Fan nodded and said, "Yes, but I couldn’t save him. All I could do was create some difficulties to prevent his quick demise.

Who knew that before you came to Capital City this time, you would go to the Duan Family? Huo Chengying came back unscathed, but instead, you got yourself involved."

Huo Qi furrowed his brows tightly, "Those things you did to Brother Chengying before?"

Wu Fan said, "Splashing dog blood on him was to ward off evil, throwing him into the pond was to let the spiritually energized clear water cleanse the negative energy off him, and slapping him was to disperse the bad luck surrounding him."

Huo Qi’s mouth fell open slightly, his face incredulous.

In the past, he wasn’t very concerned with his girlfriend’s private matters; everyone deserves their personal space and hobbies.

But hearing those words from Wu Fan’s mouth, he felt somehow repelled.

He couldn’t explain why, but something uncomfortable stirred within him as if something had changed.

Wu Fan detected a flash of self-doubt in his eyes, as well as curiosity towards her.

Qin Ruan didn’t notice the tension between them and spoke to Wu Fan, "From what you’re saying, it seems like you understand this situation well. Tell me more?"

Worry etched Wu Fan’s face as she looked at Huo Qi, who had managed to steady his emotions, his large hand still tightly holding hers.

She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Qin Ruan, "Officially, I met Huo Chengying first, then Huo Qi; we all attended the same middle school, with Huo Chengying being two grades above me and Huo Qi.

Before I noticed something was wrong with Chengying, I hadn’t had any interaction with the two brothers. On the eve of Chengying’s high school departure, I had seen him from afar a few times, and at that time, he had no troubles.

Once, I saw Chengying at school and noticed a black shadow trailing behind him. It was neither a Puppet nor a demon; I couldn’t tell what it was, I was no match for it, and I couldn’t eradicate it because I was too young to meddle carelessly.

Later, I learned that Chengying had been arranged by his family to be engaged to a young lady from a wealthy merchant family in Sea City. It was only after his engagement with the Duan Family that that thing started to haunt him."

Qin Ruan glanced at Huo Qi’s shifting expression and furrowed his brows, asking Wu Fan, "Do you suspect the female Puppet has something to do with the Duan Family?"

Her expression mocking and voice filled with disgust, she replied, "I’m not suspecting; I’m certain it’s related to the Duan Family."

Qin Ruan’s gaze hardened on her, "What’s your evidence?"

Wu Fan said, "Over these years, as I’ve been with Huo Qi, we’ve often encountered Chengying. I’ve noticed that every time he visits the Duan Family, the entity following him gathers more soul essence.

In the past two years, that entity has even started to manifest its form. I haven’t seen it for a long time. It’s very strong, harbors deep resentment, and is more powerful than me."

Qin Ruan stared at Wu Fan, realizing that in this matter, she seemed more interested in Huo Chengying than in Huo Qi.

The information she provided was speculative and lacked solid evidence.

Moreover, Wu Fan’s demeanor was peculiar—angry, apprehensive, and exuding an indescribable fear, as if dreading something."

Wu Fan felt uncomfortable under Qin Ruan’s gaze and inadvertently shifted his eyes elsewhere.

Qin Ruan’s eyes were profoundly deep, impenetrable at a glance. She smiled lightly and said, "Everything you mentioned is speculation. That thing clung to Huo Qi, wanting to become a puppet couple with him and complete the marriage ceremony of the Underworld. I think the root cause still lies with Huo Qi."

Wu Fan’s eyes flickered with a gloomy light, and he said coldly, "Someone must be playing tricks. It first attached itself to Chengying. It has never had any contact with Huo Qi over these years."

Qin Ruan, with a calm voice, stated, "But its obsession is not with Chengying, it’s with Huo Qi."

Wu Fan looked down and muttered quietly, "Impossible. She has been with Chengying for so many years and has never shown any interest in Huo Qi."

Qin Ruan’s hand, supporting her head, gently tapped her forehead, her exquisite face showing a contemplative expression.

Everything about Wu Fan’s behavior seemed very off.

After a long pause, Qin Ruan mused, "The cause of the issue is in Sea City. The information you and I have is very fragmented. To understand the truth, we must go to the Duan Family in Sea City ourselves and try to lure that thing out of the shadows."

Wu Fan nodded in agreement, "I think we should leave without delay. The Duan Family has already had an incident, and has someone from the Huo Family in Sea City also suffered?"

Chengying, who had just walked out of the guest room, upon hearing Wu Fan mention that something had happened at his home in Sea City, asked, "What happened at home?"

The sudden interjection startled the three people sitting on the sofa.

"Brother Chengying!"

Huo Qi stood up, his face not looking good.

The content mentioned by Wu Fan revealed too much information, overwhelming his brain.

When they were together back then, was it just a genuine impression of each other, or was it a one-sided exploitation by the other party? He no longer knew how to judge.

These deep-seated doubts didn’t negate his affection for Wu Fan.

He needed time to sort everything out, otherwise, it would eventually become an insurmountable gap between him and Wu Fan.

Wu Fan’s eyes, shining intensely, flickered as he stared deeply at Chengying, "Your father is ill, and the family has been keeping it from you. The lady from the Duan Family to whom you are betrothed is also bedridden and not expected to live much longer."

Hearing that his father was ill, Chengying’s face darkened momentarily, and his figure swayed slightly.

His gaze hardened towards Huo Qi’s face, reflecting complex emotions, and he said shakily, "Huo Qi, I need to return to Sea City immediately. I can’t stay here with you."

With the puppet causing trouble and his father falling ill due to the turmoil, how could he justify staying calmly in the Capital City?

"Alright, I’ll come with you!"

Huo Qi strode forward as the brothers prepared to go back to their rooms to pack.

"Wait!"

Qin Ruan interrupted their actions with a shout.

She stood up and called out for Huo Zhi.

Huo Zhi, who was secretly snitching on the Madam in the dining room for not using medicinal soup, heard the call from outside, immediately put away his phone, and hurried out of the dining room.

"Madam?"

Qin Ruan gestured with her chin and said, "Prepare the car. I’m going to Sea City."

Huo Zhi, somewhat shocked, asked, "Madam, have you forgotten what day it is the day after tomorrow?"
