When he said this, I didn't dare to move at all. I immediately huddled in the corner like a kitten, not daring to budge.
After a while, there seemed to be a rustling sound outside the room, as if someone was climbing on the window.
In the darkness, a pair of feet floated past the window outside the small hut.
That's right, it was just a pair of legs floating in mid - air. It looked extremely terrifying.
I couldn't help but move closer to Jun He. I didn't know what came over me. He was a demon lord, not a good person at all. How could I suddenly start to rely on him?
The thing outside the window just lingered outside our room for a while and then disappeared.
As it left, the lanterns in the snow village were lit up again.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Jun He snapped his fingers, and the light in our room came on.
Only then did I realize that I was squeezed tightly in the corner between Jun He and A Yin, completely protected.
At this moment, my heart felt warm, and I suddenly had a slightly better impression of this demon lord.
"Who was that just now?" I asked Jun He.
Jun He smiled and said, "Just a petty thief who came to steal. He left after achieving his goal."
I didn't quite believe what he said. What petty thief could float in mid - air with his feet off the ground?
"Don't lie to me. I have the yin - yang eyes too. I saw it clearly. There was definitely a pair of feet floating past the window."
I squeezed out from between them and said.
Jun He added, "They're just wandering souls. Don't take it too seriously. Their auras are weak, and they need energy. Low - voltage electricity can help them gather their souls. Sometimes they steal electricity. These wandering souls like to inhabit rural areas, so sometimes the unstable voltage in rural areas might be caused by them trying to maintain their energy."
After he said that, I felt even more creeped out.
"It's okay as long as there's no problem."
Jun He sat on the edge of the kang and didn't say anything more. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
"Lord Demon Lord, we're going to sleep. Please go back to your room," I made a gesture of invitation and issued the eviction order.
Jun He was pulled back from his thoughts by my words. Seeing that I was trying to drive him away, he looked extremely displeased.
"I'll sleep here tonight." He pointed at the north kang, which was only separated from the south kang we were sleeping on by a narrow passage.
"This isn't very appropriate, is it?" A Yin stood up to object. This was the first time A Yin had ever disliked someone. It was a sign that she was gradually getting out of her inferiority complex. It was progress.
"I've already said that I'm going to sleep here. If you don't like it, we can just put up a curtain in the middle." After saying that, he raised his arm, and sure enough, a white gauze curtain appeared between the north and south kangs.
He seemed to care a lot about me driving him out. He was like a child throwing a tantrum. He ignored me and just lay down on the kang to sleep.
A Yin and I stared at each other for a while. It seemed that we had no way to deal with him.
He was the Demon Lord. If we angered him, we would surely be in big trouble.
The two of us obediently lay down to sleep, but we didn't turn off the light all night.
We didn't wake up until the tour guide knocked on the door the next morning.
After a simple wash, the three of us went to the cafeteria to get food. Since we got up late, there were almost no people in the cafeteria at this moment.
But we could still see Wang Siqi and Yan Lin having their meals in the cafeteria.
The three of us got our food and found a seat to sit down.
Wang Siqi walked over to me with a cup of milk tea in her hand and deliberately shook her tray.
The milk tea was about to spill. If I hadn't dodged in time, the whole cup of milk tea would have poured on my head.
"Wang Siqi, did you do that on purpose?" A Yin stood up and said angrily.
"Yes, I did it on purpose. What can you do about it?" Saying that, she splashed the milk tea in her hand on A Yin's face.
The milk tea was hot. As soon as it splashed on A Yin's face, it turned red immediately.
I tightly grasped the chopsticks in my hand, stood up, and picked up the water cup in front of me to splash it on her face.
But this time, Wang Siqi was well - prepared. A tall boy beside her slapped my hand away, and the water cup fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of my distraction, Wang Siqi waved her hand and was about to slap me. I was just about to raise my hand to block it.
But Jun He's hand had already grabbed Wang Siqi's wrist before me. His eyes were as cold as ice, with a hint of infernal fire in them. He just glanced at the tall boy.
The boy seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying. He immediately let go of my hand and ran out of the cafeteria screaming.
Then, the people in the cafeteria seemed to be possessed. One by one, they left the cafeteria like wandering souls.
As everyone left, Wang Siqi was stunned again. She tried desperately to break free from Jun He's arm, but she couldn't.
"What on earth were you trying to do last night?" Jun He's voice was cold and showed no mercy at all. Wang Siqi's face, which was originally rosy, turned deathly pale at this moment.
It was as if all the blood in her body had been drained. Her body began to turn transparent. If this continued, she would die.
I quickly pulled Jun He's arm and shook my head at him. No matter how despicable she was, it was enough to teach her a lesson. There was no need to cause a life - threatening situation.
But Jun He didn't listen to me at all. It was obvious that he had the intention to kill.
This wouldn't do. I quickly reached out to pull Wang Siqi. Suddenly, my arm trembled, and I felt a sharp pain all over my body, as if I had been electrocuted.
Seeing this, Jun He quickly let go of Wang Siqi's arm.
Wang Siqi immediately slumped to the ground, shaking violently, as if her soul was trembling.
"Apologize to Lan Lan," Jun He's face was cold, and his voice was even colder.
Wang Siqi was like a person with Parkinson's disease. Her mouth was tightly shut.
Jun He bent down and was about to pick her up. Only then did Wang Siqi know to be afraid. She quickly apologized.
"Sorry... sorry... sorry..." Her voice was trembling.
"Lan Chiyu, you're really something. You keep your wife at home while flirting with others outside. You two really make a good pair..."
It turned out that Yan Lin hadn't left yet. She didn't finish the second half of her sentence, but I already understood what she meant.
Yan Lin stepped forward and pulled Wang Siqi up. She looked at us, the so - called "lovebirds" in her eyes, with disgust.
"Yan Lin, watch your mouth. We're upright. Don't project your dirty thoughts onto others."
Yan Lin pulled Wang Siqi up and said, "I'm dirty? No wonder you want to share a room with this unlucky girl. You must be planning something at night. What did you do last night? Such a big house, and three of you share a room. Maybe you asked this unlucky girl to keep watch for you two in the middle of the night?"
Yan Lin got more and more excited as she spoke. Finally, she was so angry that she even shouted: "Lan Chiyu, you're not any better. You just like to pick up the leftovers. You're a slut."
Yan Lin's words completely enraged me. I raised my hand and slapped her across the face. The slap was so loud that it echoed in the empty cafeteria.
Yan Lin covered her face and let out a strange cackling laugh. However, this laugh was full of resentment and didn't sound like it was made by a human being.
Then, Yan Lin stared at me with blood - red eyes. The veins on her face popped out, as if she had been possessed by something.
"Heartless man, give me your life!"
She reached out her hand to grab my neck, but was sent flying by Jun He with a single palm.
I saw her long hair flying in disarray. Her whole body rose into the air, and her dangling feet looked exactly like the ones that had floated past our window last night.
