“I was just momentarily distracted and ended up here.”
After saying that, Song Jinshi felt as if something was wrong.
No!
Song Jinshi glared at Yuan Wen angrily, emphasizing each word.
“I—am—not—a—little—fool!”
“Okay, okay, my wife is not a little fool.”
Yuan Wen’s eyes were filled with amusement, as if he could only contain the person before him.
“Song Jinshi, so you are here.”
A malicious voice sounded not far away.
“Zhao Yi?”
Zhao Yi approached, observing Song Jinshi, who was without her husband, and glancing at Yuan Wen, who seemed ready to embrace her.
A wicked smile appeared on his face.
“With your husband absent, you’ve already hooked up with a gigolo. We’ve only been at the villa for a few days, and you’re exactly as I guessed.”
At that moment, seeing Wei Xun was not here, Zhao Yi completely revealed his true nature.
He dismissed Yuan Wen entirely.
Given his appearance, he couldn’t believe that Yuan Wen was genuinely a Taoist; he must be some young star trying to debut via this variety show.
If he wanted to debut, surely he wouldn’t dare to offend him.
Zhao Yi ignored Yuan Wen and moved closer to Song Jinshi.
“If you know what’s good for you, come to me quickly. As long as you make me happy, you won’t lack for anything.”
“This pretty boy can’t help you, I, Zhao Yi, am the only one who can help you leave here.”
While speaking, Zhao Yi walked towards Song Jinshi.
But for some reason, when he reached the two of them, he suddenly changed direction to face Yuan Wen.
At the same time, he reached out his grimy hand, attempting to touch Yuan Wen’s face.
“Hey, beautiful, follow me, I promise to take you away from here.”
Yuan Wen looked at Zhao Yi, full of disgust.
He didn’t understand why Zhao Yi would suddenly mistake him for Song Jinshi.
But he remembered Zhao Yi had just said that he was the only one who could help them leave.
So he couldn’t attack Zhao Yi just yet; he needed to extract more information from him before getting rid of this scoundrel!
Yuan Wen suppressed his nausea and calmly dodged Zhao Yi’s hand.
“You want me to follow you?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi’s face lit up with excitement, as if he was about to get Song Jinshi.
“Beautiful, follow me, and I assure you will reap the benefits.”
Yuan Wen frowned and sneered, “But all I want is to get out, to leave this place.”
Zhao Yi waved his hand dismissively, “As long as you follow me, I’ll take you out immediately!”
“Then you need to tell me how to leave, otherwise how can I trust you? What if I follow you and later find out you were deceiving me?”
Zhao Yi paused, looking conflicted as he glanced at Yuan Wen.
Yuan Wen knew Zhao Yi wouldn’t agree immediately, so he continued, “Look at Yuan Wen; he seems weak and can’t possibly defeat Master Zhao. And I definitely can’t take on Master Zhao either. Even if you tell me, I still won’t be able to escape.”
“So, Master Zhao, you can safely tell me your plan. You have to tell me before I can willingly follow you.”
After hearing this, Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, but then his face returned to its wicked demeanor.
Yuan Wen knew he had fallen into a trap.
“Alright!”
“Then I’ll tell you how to leave!”
Zhao Yi proclaimed grandly.
He then cautiously pulled a thread out from his pocket.
“This is from the creator of this place. By chance, I obtained a part of this esteemed gentleman’s body; as long as I have a part of him, I can freely enter and exit here.”
Having said that, Zhao Yi quickly shoved the thread back, afraid he might lose it.
“Beautiful, now you must believe me; just follow me obediently.”
Zhao Yi beamed at Yuan Wen.
Yuan Wen raised an eyebrow. “Sure, Master Zhao.”
“But it’s too bright here; I don’t like doing those things in such a bright place. Why don’t we go to a darker corner?”
Zhao Yi nodded eagerly without hesitation.
“Whatever you say, beautiful. Soon, you’ll witness how powerful I, Zhao Yi, truly am!”
Saying this, Zhao Yi tightly followed Yuan Wen’s footsteps as they exited the room.
Once Zhao Yi and Yuan Wen had disappeared, Song Jinshi finally snapped out of her daze.
“Assistant, is Zhao Yi blind? Why does he think Yuan Wen is me?”
“Host, I don’t know either, but fortunately, he mistook the person. Otherwise, he would be saying such things to you, trying to go to that place and do terrible things!”
The assistant’s tone held a trace of relief; if it were really his host, he wouldn’t be able to contain his urge to self-destruct and destroy the world!
His delicate little host must never be defiled by such filthy beings!
However, at that moment, Song Jinshi felt some concern for Yuan Wen.
“Assistant, do you think Yuan Wen can handle Zhao Yi? What if he really lets Zhao Yi do something to him?”
The assistant obviously hadn’t considered this scenario and, after a moment of shock, spoke up.
“Don’t worry, host. Since he dared to say he could kill Wei Xun, the boss, it means he must be very powerful. A small fry like Zhao Yi is no problem.”
“That’s good.”
The actual situation unfolded as the assistant predicted.
Once Zhao Yi followed Yuan Wen outside, Yuan Wen didn’t hesitate and immediately kicked Zhao Yi.
He sent him crashing against the wall.
“You want to defile my little fool? Who do you think you are?”
Hearing Zhao Yi’s anguished wails, Yuan Wen swiftly severed his tendons.
He stabbed him multiple times, causing blood to soak through him completely.
