I was a little stunned. Although I had been heartbroken by the wealthy businessman, I didn't know what I could do if I went out.

“I…I can…I can take care of you.”

Chu Fei stammered, her face flushed, her clear eyes sparkling with innocence.

I suddenly felt a lump in my throat. I had actually saved a lot of money, enough for the two of us to live on for the rest of our lives, but I had never found the meaning of life, had no goals, and just drifted along until I heard her words.

Her words put my mind at ease.

So after helping the wealthy businessman complete his last business deal, I officially left his house and bought a house in the suburbs with the money and the innocent and naive Chu Fei. The outer room of the house was used as a noodle shop, and the inner room was used as a residence.

We live a simple and happy life.

Then a young man came to the noodle shop. He was handsome and gentle and considerate to Chu Fei.

Having never experienced love before, Chu Fei quickly fell in love and secretly pledged her life to this man.

I noticed Chu Fei's unusual behavior and pressed her to tell me what had happened.

Chu Fei eventually told me about her relationship with men.

I suddenly felt an overwhelming heartache, and long-suppressed emotions suddenly erupted. I hugged her and kissed her passionately.

She panicked and pushed me away, fleeing the noodle shop.

She left. Without her, I was heartbroken and lost, so I closed the noodle shop and spent my days playing the pipa to relieve my boredom.

It wasn't until I heard about Chu Fei again from the neighbors that I learned that Chu Fei had been abandoned by that man, was pregnant out of wedlock, and had been imprisoned in a pig cage.

I was extremely anxious, so I spent money to hire some dockworkers to rescue Chu Fei from the river.

They spent all their money on doctors to save her, and she was eventually saved, but she lost her baby.

After waking up, Chu Fei only thought about suicide, and her eyes were no longer clear.

I stopped Chu Fei from cutting her wrists and scolded her for the first time.

"I spent all my money to save your life, and you're willing to die for a man who doesn't love you."

Chu Fei was stunned, and could no longer hold back, so she threw herself into my arms and cried.

I cried that day too. I slowly lifted Chu Fei's face and said, "Do you remember? You said you would take care of me."

Chu Fei didn't speak, tears kept flowing.

After that, we continued to run the noodle shop. Life was simple but fulfilling, and those were the happiest times of my life.

Until war came.

When World War II broke out, the Japanese invaded.

I managed to get a ticket through my past connections, hoping to get Chu Fei to leave.

But Chu Fei didn't want to leave; Chu Fei wanted me to go.

So I came up with a plan to trick Chu Fei into having two boat tickets.

We agreed that if there were too many people and we got separated, we would meet at my hometown. I wrote down the house number of my hometown for Chu Fei.

In times of war, it's normal to be separated from your family. Chu Fei didn't think much of it and agreed.

We boarded the ship with the crowd, and before we knew it, we were separated by the throng.

Chu Fei boarded the ship, while I was stopped outside the iron gate because I didn't have a ticket.

War broke out, and I experienced the darkest time of my life. What kept me going was Chu Fei.

After the war ended, I returned to my hometown.

I have always lived alone. When my old house was demolished, I asked for a new house at the original address, but I have been waiting for decades.

I always believed that Chu Fei would come back to me, until I learned that my time was coming to an end.

I bought a lot of spices and decorated the house so that no one would find out I was dead. I wanted to continue waiting for Chu Fei here.

…]

At this moment, everyone had returned to the real world.

Lin Xuan saw the old woman sitting in the armchair; her body was already decomposed, and a rat had escaped from her mouth.

Chapter 56 Wish

Lin Xuan's eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.

At this moment, Lin Mo's eyes suddenly turned blood red.

"Chu Fei, Chu Fei, Chu Fei, where are you?"

"What happened to our benefactor?"

Xiaoju asked Ye Zimo in surprise, clearly having never seen a possessed person before.

"He just absorbed Hua Nujiao's power, and at the same time, he absorbed her obsession. To put it simply, he's possessed."

Ye Zimo frowned. Lin Mo already possessed his own power, but he didn't know how to use it. After being possessed by evil spirits, he became troublesome.

"Nine-Tails, now we can only rely on you."

Ye Zimo's gaze fell on the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Nine-Tailed Fox shook its fur, charged forward, bit Lin Mo, and flung him away, sending him crashing to the ground and leaving a long furrow.

Lin Mo stood up, took a light step, and leaped into the air, like Spider-Man, intending to escape through the window.

"We can't let him leave."

As soon as Ye Zimo finished speaking, the Nine-Tailed Fox expanded its size again, filling the entire room and instantly pressing Lin Mo against the wall.

Lin Mo felt as if he were being squeezed by a thousand-pound weight, but he could still breathe freely.

He reached out and pushed the Nine-Tails' body outwards.

Oh no, the wall is about to give way.

As September shrank again, Lin Mo seized one of September's tails and threw it to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

He jumped onto September and launched another attack, punching the Nine-Tails in the abdomen.

Nine-Tailed Fox dodged his attack and was about to retaliate when she discovered that Lin Mo had already jumped onto her neck.

Snapped!

With a heavy kick, the Nine-Tailed Fox was sent flying, crashing into the ceiling with a loud bang. The glass chandelier shattered under the force of the impact, sending countless shards of glass flying everywhere.

Lin Mo pressed his advantage, quickly appearing in front of Nine-Tails and delivering another kick, severely injuring Nine-Tails' left leg.

Immediately, a black afterimage launched continuous attacks on the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails' head, abdomen, legs, and claws were all struck heavily, and it coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"I never imagined that this human's power would be so great, capable of injuring me to this extent."

Even with his consciousness manipulated, Lin Mo was able to unleash 80% of Ye Zimo's power.

The space was too cramped, limiting Kurama's abilities, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Nine-Tails looked out the window. If they were in a more open space, he could unleash his true form, and his power would definitely be able to suppress Lin Mo.

Lin Mo seemed to realize what the Nine-Tailed Fox was thinking, and immediately released a barrier, dragging everyone back into the illusion.

Emerald green flagstones, old streets, two rows of shops, and bustling crowds.

Rumbling--

"They've attacked! They've attacked!"

"Run!"

The crowd began to surge, and everyone covered their heads and fled.

One by one, bombs fell to the ground, hitting the ground and exploding with a bang.

The crowd exploded like fireworks.

Xiaoju anxiously shielded Ye Zimo to prevent anyone from shoving her: "Miss, are you alright?"

"This is an illusion, Xiaoju, don't be nervous."

Ye Zimo pointed to the sky.

A giant nine-tailed fox was seen fighting Lin Mo.

In the illusion created by Lin Mo, even if the nine-tailed fox could grow to a gigantic size, the resulting power increase would be less than one-tenth.

Fortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox is a seasoned demon with extensive combat experience. Compared to Lin Mo, a newbie who has only recently gained power, the Nine-Tailed Fox has far more combat skills.

With a flick of its tail, Nine-Tailed Fox sent Lin Mo flying, crashing heavily to the ground and leaving a deep crater.

The two demons fought fiercely, their battle a back-and-forth struggle, with shockwaves constantly exploding in the sky from their collisions.

Lin Mo and the Nine-Tailed Fox showed no sign of backing down. The Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes turned red, and it fought until its body was covered in blood and gore.

The battle lasted for three hours, making Xiaoju yawn.

In the end, Lin Mo prevailed, grabbing the Nine-Tailed Fox by the neck and preparing to deliver a powerful blow to end the battle and eliminate the threat.

"Lin Mo."

Ye Zimo suddenly called out to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo's body was unconsciously absorbing the power of the Nine-Tails.

"How is that possible!?"

Nine-Tails looked incredulous, but his body was growing weaker and weaker.

"... "

Lin Mo stared blankly at Ye Zimo, as if he no longer recognized her, but he released Jiuwei and rushed towards Ye Zimo.

Xiaoju stood in front of him, but Lin Mo slapped her away with one palm.

He walked straight towards Ye Zimo.

Ye Zimo reached out her hand but did not attack Lin Mo. With her current strength, she could not withstand a single move from Lin Mo.

She hugged Lin Mo tightly and said gently, "I'm back."
