I looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

Sun Jianing finished the whole bowl of pig heart soup by himself.

However, there was no satisfaction in his expression, as if it was just an appetizer.

He calmly cleaned up the mess on the dining table and put it into the dishwasher in the kitchen.

While waiting, he hummed an out-of-tune song.

He had a relaxed posture, as if he was already certain that the prey was trapped and could no longer struggle out.

I held the cinnabar bracelet on my wrist and thought of the person's words, "Do not use cinnabar to stimulate him unless absolutely necessary."

As I was gently rubbing the cinnabar bracelet, "Sun Jianing" walked up behind me and pressed his lips against the softest part of my neck.

"Beibei, it's late at night, let's go to sleep." His hands were getting restless on my back.

I gently broke free from his embrace and went to the wine cabinet, taking out a bottle of red wine that had been stored for many years.

I saw the ruby liquid flowing into the wine glass.

"Jianing, just wait a bit. Let's have a drink first."

He seemed a bit anxious and readily agreed:

"Okay. Whatever Beibei says."

"Cheers!"

The sound of clinking glasses filled the air.

"Ah!" The man writhed on the ground, his flesh and skin seemingly about to burst.

This was the perfect opportunity.

I turned around and tried to escape towards the door like a mad person, but the door was tightly sealed right in front of my eyes.

I frantically pounded on the door, shouting, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Let me out! Let me out!"

The man behind me stood up unsteadily.

With a smile on his face, blood flowed from his mouth:

"Beibei, are you scared of me? Are you trying to leave me?"

"Just wait a little longer, a little longer."

Just when I thought I could still have a rational conversation with him, in the next moment, my eyes widened.

The man's skin began to crack and fall apart inch by inch, quickly covered by the blood seeping out, making his appearance even more terrifying. His eyeballs, nose, and ears fell off, leaving only several dark bloody holes.

Before long, the blood spread to the floor, filling the entire room with a nauseating smell.

He dragged his body made of flesh and blood towards me, still maintaining a human form in my eyes, although it was just a mass of rotten flesh.

Quickly, he appeared right in front of me.

The tall figure, drenched in blood, blocked me off completely. I could even feel chunks of flesh dripping from him.

He reached out his hands, which didn't look human, towards me. I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and extended my hands to defend myself.

The cinnabar bracelet in my hand emitted a red light, startling him and causing him to take a few steps back.

As the saying goes, "Better late than never." The Taoist priest in the tattered Daoist robe finally arrived.

"Leave some room for mercy!"

A talisman flashed, and the "blood corpse" that had taken on a human form turned into a pool of blood on the ground.

The Taoist priest picked up the wine gourd hanging from his waist and murmured a few spells.

The pool of blood on the ground obediently gathered together and entered his wine gourd.

"The crisis has been resolved this time. I hope the lady can give some compensation. The more, the better."

I took out my phone and swiped a hundred Chuan Yun arrows for him.

The Taoist priest laughed and repeatedly bowed.
