Chapter 14 The Approaching Threat
The years after Master left were very difficult for me.
Because every year Da Ling would come to dig up Master's grave and whip the corpse hundreds of times.
I had to bury the coffin again.
To survive, I still had to run the inn properly.
Every once in a while, male guests would check in.
Having run this homestay business for a long time,
I had gained quite a bit of experience.
Men bringing mistresses on vacation, meeting with side pieces, and even male couples hooking up.
All of them were targets for Da Ling.
Fortunately, Da Ling hated my master so much that he moved to a cave far away from the inn.
Among the three monsters, his dwelling was the farthest from me.
And for most of the year, he spent his time sleeping.
Logically, it was now his hibernation period.
So receiving male customers usually wouldn't cause trouble.
But people had died at the inn, and the smell of blood was heavy.
That guy had a very sharp nose.
He was probably already on his way.
Although I disliked Boss Huang and Lawyer Qiu, I still warned them,
"The heart-digging fox demon is coming soon. You should leave quickly!"
Because Qiu Gu and Hua Pi Gui had appeared one after another,
they no longer doubted my words.
Boss Huang and Lawyer Qiu walked in front.
The other two young men were squeezed behind them.
One of the young men was called Xiao Liu. His girlfriend had already reached the other side of the bridge.
She was anxiously waiting for him to cross.
I thought he would be fine.
Because this couple was the only one that had seemed okay to me.
His girlfriend had even shared their wedding photos with me that evening.
They were supposed to get married next month.
But the next second,
right in the center of the bridge,
Xiao Liu had his heart dug out alive by the person behind him.
