Deep in the Living

Chapter 525 An Unexpected Arrangement

Nameless villa, midnight, top-floor bedroom.

Luo Di, who had fallen asleep exhausted, was once again awakened by the sound of footsteps outside the door.

He groggily opened his eyes and looked through the frosted glass window on the door. He could tell it was still night and he had probably only slept for less than an hour.

Just as he was wondering who it was, a woman's figure came to the door and pressed herself against the window.

The long black hair almost completely obscured the frosted glass.

A knock came at the door.

Roddy thought the mistress wanted to see him about something else, so he groggily got out of bed and opened the door.

But just as the door opened... *smack!*

A slap landed directly on his face.

The person outside the door wasn't the mistress, but a girl that Roddy knew all too well.

The other party stormed into the house, carrying a blood-stained longsword.

"Wu Wen, what are you doing here?"

Wu Wen looked very unwell; her black hair covered her face, with only half of her bloodshot eyeball showing.

He said in a hoarse, strained voice, "I told you to come find me in the corner, and you made such a nice promise! You said you'd go to the sorority first and try to bring Hua Yuan along."

Now look what's happened! You actually sneaked over here and even stayed! If the head of the family hadn't arranged individual accommodations, you'd probably be sleeping in the same bed tonight, right?
That's fine!

I'll cut this thing off for you and freeze it so you won't overthink things and can focus on exploring the corner. We can thaw it later if we want to have a baby.

Luo Di was pinned against the wall, and the Blood Sword was already raised.

Just as he was preparing to resist,

A wave of nausea washed over me.

Structures resembling flower stamens grew from inside Luo Di's eyes, mouth, and nose, slowly forming the shape of a flower pool in front of him.

This physical transfer nearly drained his energy, leaving him unable to stop the incoming strike.

After Hua Yuan appeared, he first put his hands on Wu Wen's shoulders and stared at him with the same malicious expression.
"Roddy, why did you lie to us? Why didn't you just come to the sorority? Why didn't you even say hello before coming here?"

I think Wu Wen is right. I don't need your comforting words. Put this thing away for now, lest it make you smell bad and catch a disease.

Saying,

Hua Yuan also reached out and grasped the sword hilt together, cutting down the sword in unison.

hum!
Roddy sat up abruptly, his eyelids twitching violently; the bed was already soaked with sweat.

He immediately looked at his lower body and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was just a dream, it felt even more suffocating to him than when he followed the mistress to the back mountain last night.

Roddy didn't mention the trip to the Invisible Manor to the two of them, mainly because he had his own concerns and ideas.

Roddy glanced at the time; it was almost noon.
Since no one came to knock on the door, it means that the resort does not enforce this rule, and you can go downstairs anytime.

He leisurely went to the bathroom and quickly washed up.

As he spat out the mouthwash, Roddy looked at himself in the mirror.

"Suddenly I realize Mia wasn't wrong; these two women really are scary..."

"Who are you calling scary?"

A sound came from behind, and Roddy was taken aback.

The sound did not come from the surroundings, but from within the body.

Roddy quickly pried open his eyelids with his fingers and saw something wriggling in the gap below his eyeballs.

A stamen quickly emerged.

"Hua Yuan! Don't come! This is Wuxing Manor!"

Luo Di was the first to experience Hua Yuan's ability. When she was still a fake human, she could transfer her true form through the thoughts of others.

As long as you are in the middle zone, any thought you have about her will be immediately sensed.

"You! Not only did you not come to the sorority to see me, but you went to see that person instead! And, you seem to be in the bedroom right now, could it be…?"

In a moment of impulsiveness, Hua Yuan disregarded safety and her flower stamens began to appear in large numbers, using Luo Di's flesh and blood to complete the reconstruction of her physical form.

The first thing I did was push open the bathroom door and look at the bed inside the room.

Although she couldn't see the person, she saw a wet, human-shaped outline on the bed. She even imagined a rather exaggerated scene in her mind, her face full of disgust.

He strode forward and carefully sniffed the smell of sweat.

She breathed a sigh of relief when only Roddy's scent was detected; at least this man could still be saved.

Roddy was leaning against the bathroom door, one hand covering his head, his face full of helplessness. "Can you still go back? The head of the family here only invited me at first, it's really hard to explain if you come here." "Ahem~ I admit I misunderstood you! Don't worry, I'll leave right away... Grandmother once emphasized that this place is indeed very dangerous, its status is no less than that of the Sorority."

I slept with a younger sister last night, and she thought about me all the time.

I'm leaving now~ Don't mess around, or I'll personally check your backside when you come to the sorority.

"Could you please stop reading those weird literary magazines? Let's go, let's go!"

Roddy went back into the bathroom, unbuckled his belt, relieved himself, and then returned to the house.

To everyone's surprise, Hua Yuan was still lingering here, looking quite distressed.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

"I can't go back... I can feel my sister thinking of me, but the connection can't be established. This house is clearly undefended, so why can't I teleport back?"

Roddy had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, and could only sigh.
"Come down with me~ The patriarch has probably already set his sights on you. Luckily, I did something for the family last night, so they shouldn't make things difficult for you."

"Great! I'm just bored at the sorority."

Hua Yuan still had a smiling face, but as the camera switched, her face became full of worry.

【Dining room】

Unlike the banquet hall, this is the family's regular dining area. It's more casual, but the food laid out in front of you still maintains the asymmetrical nature of the space.

Hua Yuan does not have pica; the sorority has a sister who is in charge of catering, and the food is quite good.

The food in front of her was difficult for her to swallow, and her whole body was violently rejecting it.

But looking at the head of the family and the mistress sitting opposite him, he could only try to stuff the thing into his mouth and rely on the flower stamen to break it down and transform it into something else.

The patriarch's voice came: "To be able to teleport directly from the Sisterhood here is an extremely rare ability. Grandmother must think highly of you, right?"

"good."

"Considering that you were completely unintentional and that you provided some assistance to Liberty during the videotape incident, I won't make things too difficult for you."

You will stay here for the time being, and will leave with Roddy later.

"Thank you, Father! May I stay with Roddy? We share a room in the sorority."

Hua Yuan's suggestion was directly rejected: "Cohabitation is prohibited. The housekeeper will arrange the most suitable room for you."

"Oh..." Hua Yuan could feel a strong sense of unease, which made her dare not disobey at all.

"By the way, Roddy."

The patriarch's gaze shifted again, his white eyes fixed on Luo Di.

"What's wrong, Father?" Roddy quickly focused his attention.

"You broke the rules last night and went to the back mountain with Madam, didn't you?"

When this question was raised, Roddy was stunned for a moment, and cold sweat immediately seeped out from under his skin.

He glanced at the woman of the house immediately and, seeing her eating calmly, he knew the answer.

“...Yes.” Roddy chose to be honest.

"I heard you helped the lady a lot, and the hunt went smoothly. How about this, tonight all of you will go with the lady to the back mountain."

It's not about hunting, but about checking out the entrance.

You are all very talented, and the plants are nearing maturity. This is a good opportunity to get a feel for them beforehand. If this place proves suitable as your dungeon entrance, you are welcome to enter from here at any time.

"Ah? Okay!"

Luo Di had been planning to go and see the entrance, but he didn't expect the family head to bring it up on his own initiative.

However, the lady of the house immediately objected, "Honey~ Isn't it a bit too early! The situation at the entrance can change at any time, so why don't we wait until Li Beite is..."

"Mom, I'll go tonight. I'm confident that we can work together perfectly, just like in the videotape. There's nothing to worry about. If we behave inappropriately on the way to the back mountain, you can simply stop the operation."

Liberty, who was sitting to the side, interrupted him.

"Okay, Mom is overthinking it."

The meal is over.

The hostess was the first to stand up. "Since there are special arrangements for tonight, I'll go back to my room to rest first. We'll depart promptly at midnight, and everyone will gather in the backyard then."

"Oh, right! Roddy, come here for a second, come back to the room with me."

"what?"

"As I promised you last night, the extras from the hunt will be your reward for your hard work."

"Oh~ ok."

Seeing Luo Di leave behind such a woman, Hua Yuan felt something was amiss, even though the reason was justifiable.
