The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 44

“Since you saw me and still undressed in front of me, you really are shameless, not following the code of men.”

 

Qing Li took the initiative, thinking as long as she was thick-skinned, the embarrassment would not be hers.

 

Chu Ci’s tightly pressed lips curved into a tempting arc, his deep voice lingering with an indescribable emotion between his teeth: “I thought you wanted to see.”

 

The exposed Qing Li: “…”

 

How could she argue?

 

Oh no, explain!

 

Suddenly, Chu Ci’s body approached, the faint smell of disinfectant brushed past Qing Li’s nose. Frightened, she quickly backed away, but fell straight onto the bed.

 

She looked at Chu Ci’s increasingly magnified handsome face, her fingers curled, gripping the quilt into a bundle.

 

At the same time, she was calculating how to seize the opportunity to push Chu Ci down.

 

It was impossible for her to be underneath, to be a person, one must be “above others”.

 

At that moment, Chu Ci’s hand landed beside her ear, the man towered above, his slightly wet hair framing those dark, moist eyes.

 

Qing Li quietly swallowed, preparing to counterattack Chu Ci…

 

Chu Ci picked up the black shirt that had fallen beside Qing Li, his lips curving into a smile that wasn’t quite a smile as he brushed her forehead.

 

Qing Li: “…”

 

“If you don’t want to see, I’ll just put on my clothes.”

 

The man put on his shirt, methodically buttoning it up one by one.

 

Qing Li, who was subtly entranced by the man’s charm, secretly licked the tip of her little canine tooth.

 

Damn, she really wanted to bite someone!

 

If she said she wanted to see, then she would be admitting that she had intentionally hidden in the room to peep at Chu Ci.

 

If she said she didn’t want to see, it would be like letting a duck at her lips fly away after getting dressed.

 

“Dr. Chu is really good at solving people’s clothing problems. I hope we have the opportunity to have in-depth exchanges in the future, to discuss and learn from each other.” Qing Li huffed.

 

The conversation took a quick turn, and Chu Ci smiled faintly, “I am more than willing to accompany you.”

 

The two of them understood each other without words.

 

After Chu Ci had put on his clothes, Qing Li’s gaze fell on his neck, where the stitches from his surgery were still densely sewn, not breaking even after his head had been removed.

 

“Dr. Chu, what kind of surgical thread is this that can automatically recover?”

 

Qing Li, full of curiosity, observed closely and discovered that these threads were not black, but dark red.

 

They were stitched into Chu Ci’s flesh, not so much to sew his limbs together, but rather to prevent them from healing.

 

“This is not surgical thread.”

 

Chu Ci smiled slightly, pulling at the stitches at the corner of his mouth.

 

He raised his wrist, calmly pulling off his left hand in front of Qing Li.

 

The thread sewn into his left wrist suddenly came to life, stretching endlessly.

 

At the wrist’s break, the cut was neat, but eerily, not a single drop of blood fell.

 

Chu Ci reattached his left hand, and those stitches quickly and tightly reconnected.

 

Qing Li’s eyebrows lightly furrowed, feeling a nearly imperceptible curse in these stitches.

 

It seemed to confirm her guess.

 

Chu Ci calmly said, “This is a curse that will accompany me forever.”

 

His tone carried a hint of faint loneliness and solitude.

 

The long years.

 

Everything related to him had disappeared, only this curse remained with him, immortal and undying.

 

Qing Li tactfully did not ask further. Everyone has their secrets, and Chu Ci undoubtedly had a huge secret.

 

Even if she asked, Chu Ci wouldn’t tell her straightforwardly.

 

Night fell.

 

Darkness erodes this world, and fear descends with it.

 

Suddenly, a roar shatters the sky, causing the hotel’s glass to clink.

 

A chill startled Qing Li. She pulled back the curtains, only to see in the pitch-black night sky, a vast ghostly aura converging in the western direction.

 

A sign of great disaster.

 

Such a level of ghostly being… Even she couldn’t help but constrict her pupils and knew to run at the sight of it.

 

“These things become unruly at night,” she said.

 

Chu Ci stood beside Qing Li, his pale, stern face reflected in the transparent glass window.

 

Below the hotel, on the streets, ghostly shadows flickered.

 

They seemed to be numbly walking towards the source of the howling, as if summoned by some higher-ranking call.

 

“Dr. Chu, what exactly is happening to this world?” Qing Li asked seriously.

 

Chu Ci did not answer. He raised his hand, placing his palm over Qing Li’s eyes, then slowly removed it.

 

When she opened her eyes again, the world in Qing Li’s vision transformed into another scene.

 

In the night sky, ten paths of red ghostly energy spread across different directions.

 

Each path of ghostly energy concealed a huge ghostly shadow, roaring and howling in madness.

 

Just standing afar and looking over, Qing Li’s forehead broke out in a fine cold sweat.

 

The real corner of this terrifying world was slowly unveiling itself before her.

 

“There are ten forbidden lands in this world. Only when you have the ability to freely traverse these forbidden lands will you be qualified to touch the true essence of this world,” Chu Ci said indifferently.

 

To this interesting young girl, he inexplicably had the patience to wait for her growth.

 

He believed that this girl would not disappoint him.

 

“Dr. Chu, have you considered giving me a shortcut?” Qing Li asked with a smiling eye.

 

She faintly perceived that Chu Ci’s identity was definitely related to the forbidden area.

 

The thrilling world was indeed more dangerous than she had imagined.

 

Chu Ci smiled, “You can also choose to stay by my side, I will protect you.”

 

But whether it was him or Qing Li, both knew that this was not what Qing Li wanted.

 

Qing Li was naturally rebellious.

 

The forbidden area, huh? She was going to break in sooner or later, to clean up all the valuable stuff inside.

 

The window was open, and the cold wind outside poured in, causing Qing Li’s hair to flutter messily. Her young face showed a bold and unrestrained smile.

 

Chu Ci looked at her smile, and for a moment, an indescribable emotion flickered in his eyes.

 

…

 

At five in the morning.

 

The mission end notification sounded.

 

“Ding, mission over, congratulations to the surviving players for completing this mission.”

 

Qing Li was comfortably asleep in bed, with the space-time around her beginning to distort gradually.

 

Chu Ci looked at everything indifferently and said softly, “See you next time, young lady.”

 

With a flash of white light, Qing Li disappeared with her blanket…

 

In the player’s rest area lounge, many people were anxiously waiting at this time.

 

When Qing Li appeared with her blanket, a group of people excitedly rushed towards her.

 

“The master, the master has finally returned.”

 

“Wuwuwu, it’s true to the master’s style, sleeping so soundly in such a terrifying world.”

 

“I used to underestimate the master, I truly deserve to die!”

 

“Why hasn’t the master woken up yet? Should we wake her?”

 

“Are you crazy? The master is sleeping so soundly, you dare to disturb the master’s rest, you’re unforgivable.”

 

“Shh, you’re disturbing the master’s sleep.”

 

Someone gently reminded, and the surroundings immediately quieted down.

 

Everyone carefully maintained the silence, but their eyes were filled with fervor, admiration, and excitement as they looked at Qing Li.

 

As for Wang Tingting, who also returned, no one cared.
