Chapter 4: Who Are They?

In the underworld—

the dark-skinned man flew rapidly through the air, his eyes filled with killing intent as he scanned his surroundings.

He was searching for them.

Suddenly sensing something, he descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

Before him stood four strangely dressed figures.

The moment they saw him, they instinctively stepped back.

The dark-skinned man swept his gaze across them, his voice low but filled with anger:

“Where is that pervert?”

The four exchanged uneasy glances, but none of them spoke.

Back in the modern city.

8 PM at night.

Zhang Xiaoxiao walked along the street, looking both nervous and excited.

Many passersby turned their heads to look at her.

To be fair, she wasn’t a breathtaking beauty—

but at only 155 cm tall, with a doll-like face, she was undeniably cute.

That petite, loli-like charm was enough to make people look back twice.

If you got close enough, you could hear her whisper:

“Xu Huai’an… I’m here. I’ll find a way to make you remember me.”

With a mix of anxiety and anticipation, she stopped in front of a house, took a deep breath, and pressed the doorbell.

But because she was so anxious—

it felt like a long time had passed.

So she pressed the doorbell again.

What she didn’t know was—

inside the house, the man was still imagining how to fight off a lunatic in close combat… even exchanging long-range “qi blasts.”

All she could think about was—

What if he doesn’t let me in?

The door opened—

between two people thinking on completely different wavelengths.

Zhang Xiaoxiao stopped pretending.

She rushed forward, grabbed Xu Huai’an’s sleeve, and said nervously yet excitedly:

“Xu Huai’an! I’m here!”

In the awkward atmosphere of Xu Huai’an and the excitement of Zhang Xiaoxiao—

neither of them noticed a shadow approaching from not far away.

Xu Huai’an felt uneasy.

“Why are you here? You could’ve told me in advance.”

Like a child who had done something wrong, Zhang Xiaoxiao lowered her head.

“I… can we go inside first?”

Helpless, Xu Huai’an stepped aside and let her in, then closed the door.

From the darkness not far away—

a figure slowly emerged.

It was a stunningly seductive woman dressed in red.

Strangely—

a pair of sharp red horns grew from her head.

She smiled.

“Finally… I’ve found you.”

Inside the house—

Xu Huai’an looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was completely unceremonious as she ate his takeout dinner.

He was speechless.

To ease the awkwardness, he asked:

“It’s so late… what do you need?”

Zhang Xiaoxiao replied while eating:

“Of course… I’m here to make you remember me.”

Now Xu Huai’an was truly feeling a bit uneasy.

He suddenly wondered—

Could this college classmate… also be mentally unstable?

What do I do? Need help. Urgently.

Though that’s what he thought—

she was small and fragile.

He wasn’t afraid of someone he could lift with one hand.

Helpless, he said:

“Finish eating. I’ll send you home.”

Zhang Xiaoxiao lifted her head, about to say something—

but suddenly her pupils widened.

She stared behind Xu Huai’an.

A chill ran down his spine.

Because he heard a voice:

“Sure.”

It responded to what he had just said.

The problem was—

Zhang Xiaoxiao was right in front of him, staring silently behind him.

She hadn’t spoken at all.

Which meant—

there shouldn’t be a third person here.

Xu Huai’an’s body stiffened.

He slowly turned around.

And then—

Damn!

A pair of soft, pale… breasts were right in front of his face.

Wait—

No.

It was a red-eyed, incredibly seductive woman standing behind him.

Xu Huai’an snapped back to reality.

He shoved her away and shouted:

“You! Who are you?!”

The woman simply smiled playfully, observing him without answering.

Xu Huai’an stepped back, shielding Zhang Xiaoxiao behind him.

At first, his mind was still thinking:

Damn… who is she? That’s huge…

No! Wait! That’s… insanely seductive.

But in the next second—

terror struck.

For a brief moment—

her face seemed to turn into a skull.

But when he looked again—

she was the same seductive woman.

Just as Xu Huai’an was about to demand answers—

he suddenly realized in horror—

he couldn’t move.

It felt like sleep paralysis.

Anyone who had experienced it would understand—

your mind is awake… yet not fully.

Your thoughts move—

but your body doesn’t.

That was exactly what Xu Huai’an was experiencing.

As he panicked, thinking of what to do—

still mentally “waiting for answers online”—

A loud shout suddenly rang out:

“Perverted ghost! What are you doing?!”

In the next instant—

he could move again.

He looked around in panic.

The seductive woman was gone.

Only Zhang Xiaoxiao remained—

sitting on the ground, equally frightened and confused.

Cold sweat poured down Xu Huai’an’s face.

He knew—

that wasn’t a dream.

Because Zhang Xiaoxiao had already thrown herself into his arms, trembling uncontrollably.

Who… are they?

Xu Huai’an thought uneasily.

He was certain—

there had been another person.

Because he clearly heard a man’s voice.

It was just that his mind had been too foggy to see him.

And the moment that man appeared—

the “perverted ghost” he mentioned—

that seductive woman—

disappeared.

A perverted ghost!?

Damn it! Don’t tell me someone was trying to take advantage of me?!

No way… seriously?!

While Xu Huai’an was still stuck in a ridiculous mental loop—

Was she trying to rob me… or rob me in THAT way…?

Above his house—

on the rooftop—

A man with horns on his head and a red shawl was already engaged in a fierce battle—

with that seductive woman.
