Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 137 Idiots are Contagious

They all stopped at her door, exchanged breaths, and waited for her to open the door.

Six people in total! Six of the Ten Great Underworld Officials suddenly appeared and headed straight for her house. What had happened? Suddenly, something flashed through her mind, startling her so much that she quickly turned off the video and ran into the inner room, looking as if they could see her through the video.

Seeing this, Xiaobai asked, "Have you seen a ghost? Why do you look like this?" Xu Ruwen also looked at her strangely.

"It's worse than seeing a ghost..." Geng Miaowan said softly, as if afraid someone would hear her, "I'm asking you, when I broke through these past two days, did any demonic energy leak out?"

"Ah, this..." Xiaobai glanced at Xu Ruwen and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was only focused on absorbing spiritual energy at the time and didn't pay attention to this." Xu Ruwen also had an embarrassed expression on his face. Needless to say, he must have forgotten about it just like Xiaobai.

Seeing Geng Miaowan's expression as if she wanted to bang her head against a wall, Xu Ruwen asked, "What's wrong?"

She pointed to the main gate outside, "Go and see for yourself."

When Xu Ruwen returned, his face was unusually solemn. He looked at her suspiciously, "Could it be that these people came to capture you because they sensed the demonic energy?"

His words struck a chord with Geng Miaowan. She jumped up, grabbed his hand, and asked, "What should we do? Should we just run away?"

Little White also looked eager to jump out, as if it could rush out of here at her word.

The atmosphere in the room became heavy for a moment.

Just as they were hesitating whether they should run or not, a clear voice rang out, "Idiots are indeed contagious."

"What do you mean?" Hearing Luan Hao speak, Geng Miaowan ignored the sarcasm in his tone and asked.

Luan Hao didn't waste any more words with them and said directly, "If it really was because of the leakage of demonic energy that these people came, would they still be standing outside obediently waiting for you to open the door?"

When Geng Miaowan and the others heard this, they felt it made some sense. Moreover, when she saw them in the video earlier, they all seemed very calm, as if nothing unexpected had happened.

She glanced at Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai and said, "Luan Hao is right. Let's not panic. I'll go open the door first, and then we'll make our move."

Xu Ruwen nodded.

Geng Miaowan opened the door, feigning composure. The men outside stopped their chatter and all looked at her, their eyes flashing with a variety of emotions. They treated her as if she were some rare and precious animal—a mixture of surprise, relief, curiosity, hope, and indifference.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally beforehand, she still felt a little uneasy under their gaze.

"Well... if there's anything you need me for, just one phone call will suffice. There's no need for you to come all this way in person." She tried to keep her smile as natural as possible.

"You're the new girl?" A strong voice rang out. Geng Miaowan looked over and saw that it was the person who had come with Jiao Lingfeng and Cang Yufeng earlier.

This man had very distinctive features: thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a full beard that covered most of his face, making him stand out as particularly rugged among a group of handsome men with delicate skin. He didn't look very old, but his voice gave off a very steady and reliable feeling.

"He is King Qin Guang," Zhan Xisheng introduced her when he saw her confusion.

Geng Miaowan greeted him politely, "Hello, Qin Guangjun!"

King Qin Qing nodded. "I heard you broke through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining this time..." He smiled, his eyes showing a sense of awe and respect for the young woman he was looking at.

Geng Miaowan suddenly felt that they had come specifically to make a fool of her.

There's nothing inherently wrong with Qin Qing's statement. However, she had only progressed from the mid-stage of Qi Refining to the late-stage, not the Void Transformation stage, not the Great Ascension stage, and certainly not the Tribulation Transcending stage. Could he please refrain from using such an exaggerated tone, as if he knew someone had suddenly advanced from the Qi Refining stage to the Tribulation Transcending stage overnight?

However, she naturally did not want to show even the slightest dissatisfaction with them, and smiled as much as possible, "I wonder if you gentlemen have come to my humble abode because you have something to ask me?"

"You have no manners at all. We came all this way to your house, and you just let us stand there at the door without even inviting us in to sit down and rest."

"A long way?" Geng Miaowan felt her eyebrows twitch slightly. It was more like just upstairs and downstairs, not a long way.

After Song Yu finished speaking, without even looking at her reaction, he took advantage of his small size and squeezed between her and the door.

Once someone started, things fell into place naturally. Several people squeezed past her without any regard for her feelings as the homeowner. By the time the last person entered her house, she had been pushed to the spot where Zhan Xisheng had been standing.

The six of them found a place to sit, and Xu Ruwen poured a glass of water for each of them.

Now that Geng Miaowan was certain that these people weren't there to cause her trouble, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief. The saying "a guilty conscience needs no accuser" perfectly described someone like her.

If they weren't there to cause her trouble, then what were they after?

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just told them that you went from the early stage of Qi Refining to the late stage in three months, and they were all very curious, so they came to take a look," Jiao Lingfeng said.

"You're kidding me," Xu Ruwen said in his mind.

Geng Miaowan ignored him and asked, "That's it?"

"What else do you want?" Zhan Xisheng retorted.

She quickly shook her head. They say people don't visit unless they have a reason, and this was especially true for these kinds of people. But since they wouldn't speak, she had no way of knowing what they were thinking.

After they were all seated, they resumed their casual conversation from the doorway, ignoring her completely. However, no matter how much Geng Miaowan suspected their motives, it was strange that they hadn't mentioned a single serious matter from the moment they entered until they left.

But whatever their purpose, as long as they're not here to capture her, that's fine. After all, her promising demon life is still waiting for her to squander; if it were to end like this, it would be such a heartbreaking thing.

After everyone left, she, Xiaobai, and Xu Ruwen discussed the matter for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion. (To be continued.)
