Chapter 292: Chapter 292: The Feeling of Being Stared at by An Ancestor, How Terrifying
However, the most terrifying thing is, she isn’t dead yet.
With weak breaths sustaining her final gasp, Nangong Meng’s blurred, fragmented retinas vaguely saw the hotel security and staff, terrified, rushing to describe her miserable state.
Numerous passersby gathered around, pointing and whispering.
She was no longer the universally admired and worshipped little princess of a wealthy family, the perfect student, but no different from an animal in a zoo cage.
She saw how she was lifted onto a stretcher, how her dress was torn apart, and how she was displayed like a naked animal in front of all the interns in the emergency room.
Then she heard the attending physician giving a live demonstration to these students: "Look, patients who jump off buildings have no hope. Even if they are miraculously saved, they could only eat, drink, pass waste on the bed for the rest of their lives, becoming useless, unable even to die... So, don’t commit suicide lightly. No matter how hard it is to study medicine, persist. Otherwise, if you fail in suicide, you end up looking ugly like her..."
A tear of blood slipped from her eye sockets.
Nangong Meng finally remembered that the hotel she was staying in wasn’t in the northwest, but the room’s balcony faced the northwest!
Talisman paper water, northwest, she possessed both.
And also the hateful curse she once uttered with boundless malice towards Xi Ruzhu—
"Spurt fresh blood from the mouth, lose all hair, both hands broken, face completely disfigured... unable to live, unable to die..."
Zhang Shensuan truly was a divine fortune-teller.
Unfortunately, her curse was on the wrong target... not only did it fail to harm Xi Ruzhu, but every misfortune came back onto herself!

"Ice Point Bar."
Wu Qianman watched as Xi Ruzhu "drank" a whole glass of soda water, the phoenix eyes moving slightly, elegantly shaking her hands, so quick that one couldn’t react.
She was utterly amazed.
She wanted to fetch another drink for Xi Ruzhu, but Xi Ruzhu held her hand down, lowering her eyes as if thinking about something: "... it’s the footsteps of death..."
"Zuzi, what footsteps did you say?"
"Nothing, keep playing. About the Cao Pengyong incident, if anyone troubles you, have Xiao Gu handle it. Say Sha Sha instructed it, and he will solve it for you."
The business card left by Gu Yuzhi was handed to Wu Qianman.
Wu Qianman looked at the gilded business card, surprised: "This, this is the famous lawyer from the capital, an elder of your Gu Family..."
So "Xiao Gu" and "Sha Sha" are the Gu Family’s children???
Feeling like something was off with the relationships, Wu Qianman was about to ask clearly, but when she looked up, where was Xi Ruzhu?
"Zuzi? Zuzi, where did you go?"
Just as Xi Langyue was starting her finale dance, it was the peak of the whole room’s atmosphere.
Everyone was dancing, full of devotion and oblivion.
Wu Qianman couldn’t even think about finding someone; even moving an inch in the crowd was extremely difficult.
But how did Zuzi manage to leave instantly?
＝＝
Xi Ruzhu was standing before Xi Rubao’s corpse.
Painstakingly persuading Gu Qiusha to believe that Xi Ruzhu had fled out of guilt and could never return.
Then, she heard a cool, shallow voice behind her, piercing like a spine-tapping chill, every word striking her heart: "Who says Ancestor won’t come back?"
Xi Ruzhu’s whole being was shaken: "Zu... Zuzi?"
Why wasn’t Xi Ruzhu dead or crippled?
The talisman paper on her side was so effective, why hadn’t Nangong Meng’s talisman paper worked yet?
She dazedly turned around, desperately hoping it was just an auditory hallucination.
However, turning back, Xi Ruzhu stood there gracefully in white, her eyes like an unfathomable deep pool, staring straight at her!
This Xi Ruzhu was someone she had never seen before!
In the past, Xi Ruzhu would at most offer a slight, indifferent smile, lazily carefree, as if nothing could bother her, nothing seemed to weigh on her mind.
At this moment, she sensed Xi Ruzhu looking at her directly for the first time.
Being stared at by Xi Ruzhu was such a terrifying feeling.
She felt her soul trembling uncontrollably, her legs shaking so much she couldn’t even suppress it!
