383 I want to leave!

The thing that was sitting on the wheelchair was neither alive nor dead, if she was to say that it was dead then it would be hard to explain how it was moving and talking with everyone but if she was to say that it was alive then why was the thing sitting in the wheelchair all shrivelled up like a corpse with a few messy strands of hair sticking out of its crumpled and rotting head. What was more horrifying was that the thing's eyes were completely hollowed and many bugs that seemed to have gone extinct were scuttling out of the thing's mouth.

Ning Yu was very interested in archaeology when she was young and she has read all about the flesh-eating bugs that the ancients used to pour into the coffin of those who were considered evil, what was even more important was that these things seemed to have been extinct for ages, how come she was suddenly able to see those things along with a moving, talking corpse and what was this awful smell of rotten flesh?

She was terrified and as she watched the thing talk to Huo Feng with an evil smile stretched on its face, she was even more scared. That smile wasn't just a 'hello- hi' smile, no it was a smile similar to watching an exceptionally juicy steak dancing in front of her! It was so malevolent that Ning Yu felt really terrified, and as Wu Genji or whatever that thing was stared longer at Huo Feng, her smile became, even more, wider and stranger. Just the sight alone was enough to make Ning Yu shiver as she took a couple of steps back and tried to calm her harshly beating heart down.

" Ning Yu? Ning Yu?" Ning Ying looked at his sister and seeing that her expression didn't look right, shook her awake. Ning Yu who was suddenly shaken up blinked her eyes and everything returned to its original state, Wu Genji no longer looked like that monster and she was looking as normal as she usually did but Ning Yu who has seen the evil being couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young woman sitting in the wheelchair, even though she was telling herself that she might be thinking too much but her heart was telling her that something was really wrong, she swallowed as an inexplicable chill started to spread throughout her body, it even seeped in her bones.

The blood in her body ran cold and Ning Yu's hand suddenly touched the pendant that she was wearing around her neck, when it has first touched her skin, it has been extremely cool to touch as if someone has dipped ice in her chest but now it was scalding hot. Her fingers clenched around the pendant and as she took another look at Wu Genji who was smiling at Huo Feng strangely, Ning Yu couldn't help but tremble.

Ning Ying who was standing close to Ning Yu felt his sister shiver like she was suffering from a bad cold, he was rather sensitive when it came to his only sister and even if he may not be as attentive as Wu Qinfan was towards Wu Genji, he was still a lot attentive of Ning Yu, so when she shivered. He dragged her to the side, he turned to look at her and wanted to ask what was going on with her but was left stunned when he saw just how scared and terrified Ning Yu looked.

Huo Feng patted Wu Genji's shoulders and said, "It's all right, with your elder brothers protecting your left and right I don't think that you will ever get a chance to live you life to the fullest, anyway if you want me to take you on a trip or something then you can let me know, I assure you that I will make sure to smuggle you out of your house and take you along with me."

" Don't give her wrong ideas," Wu Qinfan slapped Huo Feng's hands away from Wu Genji's shoulder and rolled his eyes as he dipped his head to look at his sister and softly said, " Do not learn from this big brother, he is a very bad example."

" Hey!"

Ning Yu almost swayed as the pendant on her neck grew even hotter, she didn't understand why she couldn't see what she saw at first but she was suddenly reminded of what the young man has told her, he has said that she was going to meet an unexpected danger and that this pendant was going to save her life, was the pendant getting hotter and hotter to make her realise that something was wrong and that she should run away?

Just as Ning Yu was thinking about what she was going to do, she heard Wu Genji giggle softly but something about that giggling sound made Ning Yu's entire body stiffen as a chill climbed up her spine. She turned to look at Wu Genji just in time to see her morphing that sinister grin into a sweet smile as she poked Huo Feng in his waist and said,  " You should focus on this party first Brother Feng, only after you go back home after we are done here, should you talk about what you want to do in the futures after all life is unexpected and you shouldn't casually make plans, who knows maybe you will get so tired after this party that you would not even think about going anywhere?"

Her words made it seem as if she was a little sister caring about her older brother but Ning Yu who saw something more than couldn't help but catch on to the underlying meaning that was hidden in Wu Genji's words, what did she mean by life was unexpected? Was something going to happen to Huo Feng? The thought alone was terrifying enough but there was nothing, that Ning Yu could do, she was the only one who could see that something was wrong with Wu Genji, if she was to say anything about her, who knows what others might think of her.

Especially Wu Qinfan, he would not listen to a thing against his sister and what was she supposed to say anyway? That Wu Genji was not human? If she said something like this then she will be treated as a fool and an idiot by these people, if so wasn't it enough for her to save her life and her brother's life?

She knew that it was selfish but she knew well enough that there was nothing that she could do about this matter, after all, she was helpless as well all right? Who asked Wu Qinfan's sister to be such a monster? Ning Yu wasn't superstitious but she was exceptionally cautious and she also was a firm believer in the fact that the universe sent signals to the chosen ones, once in a while. After receiving three signals, Ning Yu was sure that something was up with Wu Genji and decided to act on her instincts.

Thus, even though her face was pale and her lips were trembling because of the fear that she was suffering at the moment, she turned to look at her brother and said, " I…I …I …I think we should go back home, I am feeling a bit awkward and uncomfortable."

Ning Ying was stunned, his sister was the one who asked him to attend this party with her and she was the one who organised the entire set-up as well but now that the party was already in full swing, she was asking whether or not she could leave. That was simply impossible and exceptionally rude!

" Yu Yu, what are you talking about?" Ning Ying said sounding a bit alarmed as he looked at his sister who was sweating profusely, he grasped hold of Ning Yu's wrist and then measured her temperature when he saw that she hasn't caught a fever, he heaved a sigh of relief and said somewhat tentatively, " Are you still uncomfortable with the rumours of Wu Qinfan and Wu Genji? I am telling you even though the two are awfully close there is nothing messy going on between them, Wu Qinfan is not a man like that."

Ning Ying thought that his sister was feeling awkward seeing Wu Qinfan behaving so naturally with Wu Genji but what he didn't know was that the relationship between Wu Qinfan and Wu Genji was the last thing in Ning Yu's head at this moment, she didn't know whether it was her imagination or whether it was due to the fright that she just suffered, she was able to smell a rather stinky and fishy scent like the blood that hasn't been scraped off.

She was immediately alarmed, she didn't know whether it was because of the thing that she just saw or the fact that the young man told her that her life was going to be in danger, every time she turned to look at Wu Genji her eyelid twitched.
