Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 424: Human-eating Hill (3)

“If you get it, it’s yours.”

Lu Sheng smiled and took a step back.

The four guards did not notice anything amiss.

“Little beauty, I’m here.”

The guard who removed his belt first smiled lecherously and was about to pounce on Lu Sheng when his body was suddenly pulled back.

His feet were lifted and he laid flat on the ground. Then, he fell onto the ground heavily.

“Oh—”

His breathing paused and his pupils constricted. After a while, he laid on the ground motionlessly.

The other three guards who witnessed this scene hurriedly retreated.

The three of them felt an invisible force push them and they instantly collided. Then, they swayed and spun a few rounds before suddenly collapsing to the ground.

“Ghost! Ghost!”

When the guard who was knocked down by Lu Sheng previously saw this scene, his expression changed drastically and he crawled out in fear.

Lu Sheng, who was standing outside the door, lifted her leg and stepped on the back of his hand. She even stepped down twice heavily.

“Ah—”

The guard screamed and was suddenly pulled backwards. Then, he fainted.

The couple, who witnessed everything, hugged each other in fear and looked at Lu Sheng fearfully.

“Are… are you a human or a ghost?”

Lu Sheng glanced at those black clouds. There were coincidentally five of them, so one body for each of them.

She walked past the black clouds that were staring at the five guards with glowing eyes and walked towards the trembling couple.

“Where’s the rest?”

She asked faintly.

The duo shook their heads.

The woman swallowed her saliva and said timidly, “We don’t know. We passed by this place today and were captured.”

No wonder they did not look like refugees.

Lu Sheng took off her cloak and passed it to the woman. “Put this on.”

The woman was slightly stunned. She lowered her head to look at her clothes and her face could not help but turn red.

“Thank you, thank you!”

She carefully received it and draped it over herself.

Lu Sheng turned her head and said to the empty courtyard, “Get up.”

The five guards on the ground suddenly stood up. Some twisted their necks while others shrugged.

“They… they’re awake!”

The woman shrank back in fear. The man hugged her and stared warily at the five guards.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Lu Sheng whispered to the woman.

The five guards jumped over and grinned at Lu Sheng, revealing a row of white teeth.

One of them smiled and said, “Master, this body is weak, but it’s quite useful.”

“Go take a look around. If you see any refugees gathered, inform me.”

“Yes!”

Everyone bowed in unison and turned around happily.

“What… happened to them?”

The couple stared at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

They really did not understand why the five guards, who had been speaking obscenities to Lu Sheng just now, suddenly obeyed her orders.

Lu Sheng said seriously, “Nothing. I just drugged them.”

The couple believed her.

“Miss, why did you appear here alone?”

The woman asked softly.

“I heard there was a drought here, so I came over to take a look.”

Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them. She frowned and asked, “Why were you captured here?”

“I was originally from a nearby village, but I’ve been doing business with my husband for the past few years. His health hasn’t been too good these two years, so we sold the shop and prepared to return to the village to recuperate. Who knew… Who knew…”

The woman covered her face and wept. After a while, she said, “We were stopped not far from Yong Fu Town. After that, we lost consciousness. When we woke up, we were already here.”
