Chapter 8: A Trap

I didn’t dare to go forward, escaping was the only thing on my mind.

“The thing on you will protect you, come here…” he commanded weakly.

He was talking about the bracelet in my bag. It seemed that Great-Grandma had really given me a good thing.

Crack—a bolt of lightning slid down the window, as if to come in.

“Come here!” His voice was a little urgent.

“Oh…”

As if bewitched, I took the bracelet out of my bag with one hand and walked over with the vacuum cleaner in the other.

The rain poured down, with thunder and lightning.

Tonight’s thunderstorm was really evil, feeling like it was going to shatter the entire Xicheng and wash it clean.

The boy was wearing a white long robe, curled up on the ground, his head buried in his bent knees, shivering.

He looked like a frightened little animal, making people feel pity, with the urge to hug him and touch his head.

I slowly squatted down, kneeling on the ground, and looked at him in the dim light from the crack in the curtains – the ears were gone!

“You!” I pointed to his head, in disbelief.

What was going on! Did I see it wrong just now? Or were his ears hairpin accessories?

No! And the tail! I was knocked unconscious by the tail!

“Can you…” Lift your butt a little?

Before I could finish speaking, the boy raised his head, his eyes as black as ink, sparkling, as if filled with stars.

His chin was hidden in his arms holding his knees, his mouth was slightly pursed, his eyebrows were furrowed, looking like a pitiful little wife.

Please, don’t look at me like that! You’re so cute, handsome, and adorable, be careful I commit indecent assault on you!

“Are you so afraid of thunder?” I also sat on the ground, hugging my knees, sitting face to face with him.

He hummed softly, and buried his head in his arms again.

I tried to say something to divert his fear: “What’s your name? My name is Le Xiao Mai, Brother Yanzu told you, right? I will take care of you from now on.”

“Um… I know.” He raised his head, only revealing his eyes, “My name is Xiao… Wen Ye, my name is Wen Ye.”

How well-behaved, and the name is also nice.

I moved closer: “You’re so afraid of thunder, why aren’t you staying with Brother Yanzu tonight?”

What if I couldn’t come for something?

“Can’t be at his place, it will implicate them.” He stared at me with bright eyes.

Implicate?

Just as I was puzzled, crack – another thunderclap, he buried himself deeper in fear, shaking violently.

This child was not generally afraid of thunder.

Not knowing what had gotten into me, I impulsively reached out and touched his head.

Well, the hair quality was really good.

Just as my hand slid down his hair a few centimeters, his body stiffened, and he suddenly slapped my hand away, and bit it in his mouth!

“Ah! Are you a dog!” I grimaced in pain, wanting to hit his head, but I held back for the sake of my salary.

“Let go quickly, it hurts!”

When my hand was pulled out, a big tooth mark was deeply imprinted on the outside of my palm. If he had used a little more force, he would have bitten off my flesh!

I glared at him angrily: “It’s just a touch, did you have to bite me so hard!”

He had no remorse, and looked straight into my eyes: “You have Yin energy on you, I don’t like it…”

I blew on my hand, puzzled: “What Yin energy?”

“Have you been in contact with Yin spirits?”

Yin spirits? Ghosts would run away when they saw me, okay!

I shook my head blankly, and suddenly thought of the little ghost in my dream: “I had sleep paralysis last night, maybe it was a dream…”

“It’s not a dream.” He said firmly.

I was stunned: “Ah? How do you know?”

“There’s residual ghost energy on you.” He looked at me, “You’re being targeted.”

His serious look made my heart chill. If I was being targeted, it must be Lin Miao.

Crack! Several lightning bolts struck at the same time.

Wen Ye’s eyes were full of fear, damn it, I really wanted to hug him.

“Get closer to me.” Before I could speak, he suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm. I lost my balance and knocked my forehead on his knee.

Damn it, didn’t this guy know how to be gentle!

My whole head was held by him, but my body was far away from him, like a turtle whose neck was grabbed.

I wanted to pull my head out, but he held me tightly, without letting me pull it out.

Just now he said that I had Yin energy on me, and now he was doing this! Were rich young masters so capricious?

Le Xiao Mai, for the sake of a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, you have to endure!

When the shivering body became quiet, I poked his knee and said in a muffled voice, “Can you let go? I’m about to be strangled to death.”

Wen Ye didn’t react. I poked him again and tried to pull my head hard, but he exerted force on his hand and didn’t let me pull it out.

“My neck is going to break! Wen Ye, let go!” I lowered my head and patted his arm hard.

His cold warning came from above: “I can let you go, but you can’t scream, otherwise, I will bite you to death.”

Damn it, what kind of perverted thing was this! He was threatening me again!I used reverse psychology, pretending to compromise: “Okay, I promise not to scream, let me go first.”

The strength on my neck weakened, and I quickly pulled it out, rubbing it while protesting, “I’m the nanny your family hired, not someone you can just casually… Ah!!!”

Ears, ears grew out again!

A tail, a thick, furry tail!

He really was a monster!!

“Shut up!” Wen Ye covered my mouth, glaring at me, “Unless you don’t want to live!”

“Woo woo… woo woo…” I opened my eyes wide in fear, my chest heaving violently, and my whole body was softened by fear.

So there really were monsters in the world!

Heavens, what kind of magical experience was this? I actually met a monster! And a male monster!

Was that Zhao Yanzu a monster too!

Ahhh! My worldview had completely collapsed!

I couldn’t breathe properly and felt like I was about to faint. What was going on? Was I dreaming?

Seeing that I had quieted down, he slowly let go of my hand, and wiped the saliva on his hand on me with disgust.

“You… you…” I wanted to question him, but fear choked my throat, and I couldn’t spit it out.

What if I asked? The truth was in front of me, this guy was…

“I am a fox beast who is still cultivating.” Wen Ye said frankly, “You know now.”

My teeth trembled, and I squeezed out a sentence stiffly: “Wh-why me?”

“You are useful to me.”

“What use?” I frowned, puzzled.

Was he going to eat me? Or was he going to absorb my essence?

“You will know later.” He didn’t want to say more.

I pressed: “Zhao Yanzu is also…”

Wen Ye shook his head: “He is a human.”

Humans and demons could cooperate, and Zhao Yanzu wanted my birth chart before the interview. I felt like I had fallen into a trap.

“How did you find me?” Reason gradually occupied fear, and I asked.

Wen Ye hugged his knees and said bluntly: “We have our own ways.”

“So I advise you not to run. No matter where you run, I can find you.” After saying that, he smirked triumphantly.

I bristled with anger, holding the bracelet in front of my chest, and said angrily: “You you you are scams! You abduct innocent girls! I won’t do it! I’ll give you back the money!”

Wen Ye glanced at the bracelet in my hand, then met my eyes and asked, “Le Xiao Mai, don’t you want to know your background? Don’t you want to know what this bracelet is?”

I was stunned by his question, at a loss, and said: “What background? What’s wrong with this bracelet?”
