Chapter 546: Please Open the Door
Fu Miaoxue rushed to the door once again!
The door was bolted shut; she couldn’t get in!
The scholar’s house never bolted its doors, whether it was day or night. These doors had always been open!
Why, at such a crucial time, was the door closed?!
Fu Miaoxue had a sinking feeling in her heart.
This was the slip-up she had feared. Even if Bai Youwei was asleep, even if Bai Youwei made preparations in advance, it would still cause trouble for her and Du Lai!
But it didn’t matter. For others, it might have been a thorny problem, but her boyfriend was strong! As long as he could climb over the wall, he could help open the door from the inside!
Behind her, an awakened corpse was rushing towards her; its limbs were stiff, its eyes filled with ferociousness, and it let out harsh, raspy laughter. It was slower than in its ghostly state. Fu Miaoxue could barely dodge, but her situation was becoming increasingly dire.
Du Lai sprinted from behind, gracefully climbing over the wall. Just as he was about to jump down to open the door, his body suddenly jerked violently!
Then he fell backward off the wall!
“Du Lai!” Fu Miaoxue screamed. Immediately stumbling, she almost got toppled over by the chasing female corpse, hastily steadying herself.
But when he tried to climb over the wall again, another weak electrical current surged through his body!
It wasn’t enough to harm him, but it could numb his joints, rendering him unable to exert strength!
At this point, both of them finally realized that Bai Youwei was causing mischief!
Looking up, they saw Bai Youwei’s stuffed rabbit, which she always carried, now perched atop the wall, pacing back and forth like a patrolling guard.
Then, Bai Youwei herself peeked over the wall, grinning at them both as if enjoying a show.
The corpse was still relentlessly pursuing Fu Miaoxue.
In her desperation, Fu Miaoxue shouted, “Bai Youwei! Quickly open the door for us!”
“Why should I~” Bai Youwei asked with a laugh.
“What do you mean, why?” Fu Miaoxue dodged the corpse’s attacks while pretending to be innocent, “Didn’t we form an alliance?!”
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Bai Youwei was nonchalant, “Right, we did form an alliance~”
“Yes! So open the door quickly!” Fu Miaoxue was extremely anxious and was almost knocked over by the female corpse several times!
Although being turned into a doll meant she wouldn’t feel physically exhausted, she was wearing a cumbersome long dress and running on a rocky mountain path. Combating the female corpse for a long period had taken a toll on her!
She hadn’t expected this to happen!
Why wasn’t the corpse obeying her? Was her assumption wrong?!
Du Lai, standing beneath the wall, shouted, “Miaoxue! Throw the spirit tablet over here!”
Fu Miaoxue tightly clutched the spirit tablet.
She couldn’t give it to Du Lai.
Du Lai’s injured foot was still bruised. Every step he took caused him immense pain! If he were to get wounded by the female corpse again, it would be disastrous!
However, if she got hurt, it wouldn’t really matter. After all… she was just a doll! Whether she was torn, rotten, or broken, it didn’t matter at all!
Fu Miaoxue gritted her teeth, using a natural boulder near the front door to shield herself while continuously dodging the attacks from the female corpse behind her.
“Miaoxue!” Seeing that she didn’t respond, Du Lai ran over to grab the spirit tablet, “Give it to me!”
The female corpse would only attack the holder of the spirit tablet!
Fu Miaoxue clung onto it for dear life!
During their quarrel the corpse caught up with them, and Fu Miaoxue swiftly pushed Du Lai away. The decayed, bark-like face was closing in, and a ghastly cold air assaulted her face!
The female corpse clasped Fu Miaoxue’s neck; it laughed in her face, “Hahaha! Hahahaha!!!”
Grinding his teeth, Du Lai threw something at the female corpse—
Upon seeing this, Fu Miaoxue screamed, “That’s your last tool!!!”
