Blood-Clad Wraith: "(Grinding teeth)!"
Blood Doll: "Queen, it''s up to you now! I suggest we charge straight in, grab him by the neck, give him a beating, and then cut off his head!"
Skull Demon: "Exactly! Don''t give him a chance to speak, just snap him out of existence to eliminate any future trouble!"
Long-haired Ghost: "(ó﹏ò?), isn''t that a bit rude?"
Everyone: "???"
Long-haired Ghost: "⊙﹏⊙||| Uh, I was just saying..."
Evil Spirit Queen: "Don''t worry, wait for my good news. By this time tomorrow, his head will be in the corner of my house, serving as my daughter''s chamber pot!"
After speaking, the Blood-Clad Wraith swiftly closed the spying mirror, squinting her eyes.
Whoosh—
Tentacles sprouted wildly from her body, and as she gritted her teeth, her body dissolved into a large pool of crimson blood, seeping through the floor towards the first floor.
In an instant.
The candles on the first floor began to flicker wildly.
And from the ceiling, drop after drop of thick blood splattered onto the ground.
In a flash.
The thick blood began to coalesce, transforming into the Blood-Clad Wraith with a cracked face.
She looked around sharply.
But apart from her ghostly servant trembling in the corner, there was no sign of Lin En.
"Where''s that brat?" the Blood-Clad Wraith growled through clenched teeth.
Her gaze instantly fell on her ghostly servant.
The ghost pointed dully at the wooden door leading to the hallway and said:
"Master, he said he was getting impatient waiting, so he decided to come find you himself. He just opened the door and went to the backyard..."You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
"That brat!!"
The Blood-Clad Wraith, gritting her teeth, transformed into a twisted, shrieking ghost, rushing towards the door.
She dashed all the way to the backyard.
Quickly searching through several rooms.
But she found no trace of Lin En anywhere.
And at the next moment, her gaze suddenly locked onto the shadow that flashed by the window in the attic on the second floor.
Her pupils contracted instantly.
"That guy... he got into my boudoir?!"
The Blood-Clad Wraith was instantly furious.
In the next moment.
She leaped, landing in front of the window, and with a swoosh, flung it open.
And then she saw a scene that completely broke her composure.
In the second-floor boudoir, Lin En was standing in front of the bed, holding the wide-eyed, now-awake cute doll in his arms, rubbing her little ears with a face full of (?′?`?).
The Blood-Clad Wraith was instantly stunned.
"Let go of my daughter!!"
With a long howl, the Blood-Clad Wraith, furious, surrounded Lin En with her tentacles like ice spikes, aiming at him.
Lin En snapped back to reality, his gaze falling on the enraged woman. He flicked his monocle and smiled:
"Madam, this is no way to treat a guest. You said you''d invite me for dinner tonight, but downstairs, all I got was a scare, and I haven''t even seen your face."
He picked up the cute doll, sighing:
"This is truly disheartening."
The Blood-Clad Wraith sneered coldly, "Don''t pretend to be innocent in front of me. I already know what you did to my daughter. What? You still want to fool me with those words from earlier today?"
"You clearly messed with my daughter, and yet you claim it''s a reflection of my inner goodness! I really wish I could tear your mouth apart right now!"
Lin En knew.
In situations like this, you absolutely can''t go along with her.
Otherwise, even if you had a hundred mouths, you couldn''t explain it.
Lin En adjusted his monocle, calmly saying, "Madam, no matter what you know, I assure you, I haven''t lied to you once. If I had any intention of deceiving you..."
"May lightning strike me!"
Crack—
A bolt of lightning flashed outside the window, striking the yard directly.
"......"
"......"
Lin En wiped his sweat, saying, "Uh... you saw that, right? For some reason, the lightning didn''t strike me, so this proves the truth of my words, don''t you think?"
The Blood-Clad Wraith sneered.
Her expression seemed to say, I''ll just watch you pretend.
At this point, Lin En took a deep breath, deciding to lay his cards on the table.
He plopped down on the bed, holding the cute doll, exhaling and shaking his head:
"Alright... I admit, it was my doing, but madam, you must understand, I truly meant no harm."
"Moreover, when your daughter was just born, her face was so messed up, not only with pustules but also oozing..."
"And as a doctor with a strong sense of justice."
Lin En sighed helplessly:
"If I didn''t correct it, when that Pig Demon comes back to claim the Blood Wraith Infant, could I really point to a pus-covered child and say, is this your kid?"
"She looked too messed up!"
The Blood-Clad Wraith sneered, "Keep making up stories! Let''s see how long you can keep this up!"
[Crisis Level 87%]
[Crisis Level 97%]
Lin En instantly raised his hands in surrender, helplessly saying:
"Alright, there are other reasons, and this time I''m telling the truth."
"Speak!"
"First." Lin En closed his eyes, raising a finger, "I''m afraid of dying. I''m afraid when your daughter completely breaks down, she''ll kill me first, after all, she''s an evil spirit."
The Blood-Clad Wraith sneered, "That excuse seems reasonable."
"Second." Lin En raised his head, eyes closed, "I wanted to test my skills, see if I could create a doll that fits my aesthetic, so I used your daughter for some experience."
The Blood-Clad Wraith ground her teeth, "And the third?!"
"Third..." Lin En said awkwardly:
"Of course, I also had a tiny hope that the Pig Demon might not come to claim her, thinking maybe I could create a cute girl, raise her, and perhaps marry her and have a child..."
"Yada~~" the cute doll in his arms (?＞︶＜)?.
"......"
"......"
The Blood-Clad Wraith seemed petrified, frozen in place.
Lin En winked, adjusted his monocle, and chuckled:
"Just kidding! How could I, Lin En, have such indecent thoughts? I really just wanted to make a more aesthetically pleasing doll, something easy on the eyes, hehe—"
"......"
"......"
"Do you think this is funny?" the Blood-Clad Wraith gritted her teeth.
Lin En shook his head, eyes closed, "Not funny."
The Blood-Clad Wraith almost laughed from anger, "I find it hilarious. Should I tear your mouth apart now so you can laugh to your heart''s content? What do you think?"
Lin En''s face showed a calm smile, "Madam, I think we should sit down and have a proper talk. If you really want to kill me, I''m no match for you, but you need to weigh the importance."
