Lin Hao was extremely frustrated, and his facial expression could no longer be described in words. "Are you that confident?"
"Indeed." Qin Ruan reached out and tousled her hair, looking at Lin Hao with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
The latter sighed, "You're becoming more and more like your old self."
Qin Ruan looked at his serious expression and smiled reassuringly. "You, you're just too tense. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Learn to enjoy the happiness of life. Stay by my side from now on. I'll protect you and ensure a carefree life for you."
She understood the hardships Lin Hao had endured in the Su family over the past three years, so it was inevitable that his emotions were constantly strained.
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow. "Is it that impressive?"
"Of course!" Qin Ruan pointed below them. "I've even met the King of the Underworld. Even if something really happens to you, I can still give a heads up and have the people below take care of you."
Lin Hao's face darkened. "Just shut up! I appreciate your concern!"
"Don't mention it. It's not a big deal," Qin Ruan replied casually.
Then, Qin Ruan added, "I've been thinking about what you said earlier. Why do I feel like you're trying to provoke a rift between me and Third Young Master?"
"I'm just speaking the truth," Lin Hao pointed to Hou Chuan not far away. "I'm not even afraid of him overhearing. What I said hardly counts as provocation."
Qin Ruan murmured, "Human hearts are hard to fathom."
Lin Hao raised his hands in surrender. "Fine, I won't say anything more."
The topic of whether Hou Yunjiao valued Qin Ruan or not ended there.
After a while, Lin Hao whispered to Qin Ruan, "Tell me the truth. Did you fall for Third Young Master's looks, his physique, or the supreme power of the Hou family? It seems like you're deeply attached to Third Young Master."
Qin Ruan casually replied, "I fell for Third Young Master as a person."
"I thought as much," Lin Hao said, seeing through her expression.
Qin Ruan smiled and remained silent.
She truly fell for Third Lord, a person she had fallen for since her previous life.
...
Qin Family, nighttime.
After Qin Ruan had dinner, she went upstairs to rest.
Her eldest brother, Qin Jingcen, was working overtime at the company, while her second brother, Qin Mei, went to a party with friends and was unlikely to return tonight.
In the spacious Qin residence, only Qin Ruan and Qin Anguo were present.
Qin Anguo had been focusing on his health due to physical reasons and had already gone to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Hou Chuan and Lin Hao took turns guarding outside Qin Ruan's door as time slowly passed by.
"Boom!!!"
A bolt of lightning struck, followed by rolling thunder.
Soon after, the pitter-patter sound of rain began.
Qin Ruan lay on the bed in her bedroom, disturbed by the thunder and rain. Her serene sleeping face showed impatience as her delicate and beautiful eyebrows furrowed.
The loud rain noise was preventing people from sleeping peacefully.
Qin Ruan, who once fell asleep, found it difficult to wake up. She shifted under the covers, unable to bear the disturbance caused by the rain.
"Drip..."
"Drip... Drip..."
"Drip... Drip... Drip..."
The sound of dripping water echoed in the bedroom.
The rhythmic drops of water continued one after another.
The roaring wind and heavy rain outside drowned out the sound of the water droplets indoors.
However, lying on the bed, Qin Ruan still sensed something and immediately opened her sharp eyes.
She sat up abruptly, her cold and alert gaze scanning the room, searching for something.
A chilling atmosphere filled the spacious room, indicating the presence of evil spirits.
Qin Ruan had a keen sensitivity to dark and malevolent energies.
Not finding any trace of the evil spirits, she coldly asked, "Who's there?!"
No one responded, and the sound of water droplets disappeared the moment she woke up.
Qin Ruan leaned over and turned on the light on the bedside table, illuminating the room. She lowered her gaze, staring at the water stains on the floor beside the bed, her face becoming gloomy.
The water stains extended from the entrance.
She squinted and stared in the direction of the entrance, calling out, "Hou Chuan, Lin Hao?"
"Knock, knock..."
The door was knocked.
"Qin Xiaowu, what's wrong?"
The person outside the door was Lin Hao.
Qin Ruan got up and walked towards the door in her house slippers.
The door opened, revealing Lin Hao's tired and exhausted face standing outside, which caught her eyes.
Qin Ruan asked, "Have you been waiting here all along?"
"Yeah." Lin Hao yawned, his voice deep, "Did the thunder wake you up?"
Qin Ruan's deep and calm eyes stared at Lin Hao, with an unfathomable frostiness and coldness in her gaze.
"Have you noticed anything strange here?"
"No."
Lin Hao's tone was casual, and his expression was vacant, as if he was extremely tired.
Qin Ruan's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at Lin Hao's slightly raised feet, her eyes becoming calm.
Then her sharp gaze lifted, shooting towards Lin Hao like an arrow, and her red lips pursed unhappily.
"Where's the evil spirit? Show yourself!"
Lin Hao's vacant face gradually changed, becoming twisted and sinister.
A wicked smile curled up at the corner of his lips, "So, you've found me!"
Although Lin Hao was clearly a man, the voice that came out of his mouth sounded like a woman's.
The voice was so familiar that it brought a flash of disgust to Qin Ruan's eyebrows and eyes. It was clearly Han Kexin's voice.
Qin Ruan leaned against the door frame, looking at Lin Hao mockingly, "It's really you!"
Knowing who was causing the trouble, she lost her initial vigilance and appeared to be in control.
Lin Hao's tired face showed the same disgust.
Qin Ruan said coldly, "I've seen people who seek death, but I've never seen someone so brazenly throwing themselves at it. Do you find your death not thorough enough?"
Lin Hao acted coquettish, with an inexplicable strangeness in his words and actions, "After all, this used to be my home. Is it too much to come back and take a look?"
Qin Ruan couldn't be bothered to argue with her, "Where's your mother?"
Lin Hao lowered his gaze, a faint aura of sadness emanating from him, "She's dead."
Qin Ruan replied, "I know she's dead, but didn't she escape with you from the underworld? She didn't stay with you?"
Lin Hao looked up, glaring at her angrily, "I said she's dead, her soul scattered."
Qin Ruan frowned, staring at Lin Hao's handsome face that now showed a look of hatred, and asked in confusion, "Did the ghost devour her?"
She only said it casually, but she didn't expect to guess the truth.
Lin Hao's face was gloomy, "After Master Wu Dao helped us escape, he consumed many small ghost for cultivation. Today, he also consumed my mother. The current Master Wu Dao has transformed into a human form. I'm just here to let you know."
Qin Ruan's eyes revealed a mocking expression, "Are you being so kind?"
She remained skeptical about this.
Han Kexin and Han Xian, the mother and daughter, were too cunning. She didn't believe a single word that came out of their mouths.
Lin Hao's face twisted, a mix of embarrassment and frustration. His voice became sharp and strange, "Believe it or not!"
Qin Ruan rubbed her chin and scrutinized Lin Hao from head to toe.
Using Lin Hao's body and imitating his words and actions made her feel helpless. It was too glaring.
She furrowed her brows, displeased, "If you possess someone else's body, it will damage their lifespan. Come out."
"No, I won't!" Lin Hao pursed his lips, his face showing a mix of panic and embarrassment.
This expression, coming from a woman, would be perfectly natural. But appearing on Lin Hao, a tall and strong man, made Qin Ruan shiver. It was too eerie, a nauseating feeling.
