“Why is that Boss Xiong so strange?”
After walking out, Wang Mingtao couldn’t help but complain, “We came to his place to eat. As the boss, it’s fine if he didn’t warmly welcome us, but he didn’t even send us out.”
Xie Mingtao guessed, “It’s possible that this boss has this kind of personality. However… the food he cooks is really delicious. Before leaving his place, I already want to come back and eat again.”
“Forget it.”
Wang Mingtao said, “I didn’t remember it before. Ever since I finished eating the dishes cooked by Boss, I suddenly remembered. Previously, I followed my father to a nobleman’s house to plant flowers. I think I’ve heard of this shop. I heard that this boss accepts guests based on his mood. Even if a relative of the royal family wants to eat, it depends on his mood.”
“To think Boss Xiong is so cool. Didn’t he offend those rich and powerful people?”
“He might have.”
Wang Mingtao had only heard a little about it. How could he know so much?
Chu Luo glanced at Wang Mingtao and Xie Minghai and asked with a smile, “You guys went to look at the rockery in the courtyard for such a long time. Didn’t you see anything?”
The two of them scratched their heads in confusion.
Wu Yiyao thought of something and asked Chu Luo, “Does Boss Xiong know daoist magic? There’s actually a formation in the front yard, so he can stop unwanted guests from entering?”
Chu Luo nodded. “Right.”
“No wonder!”
Wang Mingtao and Xie Minghai were enlightened.
“It’s no wonder Boss Xiong isn’t worried that we will leave without paying. He’s confident that we won’t be able to leave, right?”
“Haha, why do I feel that this Boss Xiong is even cooler now?”
The few of them chatted and laughed as they walked to the courtyard in front.
The backyard was installed with groundlights and streetlights. Even though it was already past eight at night, all the corners of the courtyard could be seen clearly.
At this moment, Wu Yiyao suddenly approached Chu Luo and asked her softly with a frown, “Little Chu, why do I feel that this courtyard is colder than when we came?”
Wu Yiyao had been possessed by that thing before and was more sensitive to such things.
Chu Luo nodded and subconsciously grabbed Li Yan’s hand. When Li Yan looked over, she whispered to him, “Someone is doing something to me.”
Li Yan instantly exuded a sharp aura. “Who is it?”
The other boys looked at them in confusion.
“Sister Chu, what’s wrong?”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said to Wu Yiyao via voice transmission, “Sister Wu, think of a way to bring them back to the backyard.”
Wu Yiyao nodded at her and touched her ear. Realizing that she had forgotten to wear earrings today, she said to the boys, “I think my earring fell off just now. Help me look for it.”
The boys looked at her ears and saw that she really wasn’t wearing any earrings. They quickly nodded. “Okay, okay.”
Only Tang Zhiyun found it strange. He knew that Wu Yiyao wasn’t wearing earrings today, but he didn’t say anything. Wu Yiyao walked towards the back and he followed her.
After taking two steps, he turned around and asked Chu Luo, “Junior, aren’t you coming with us?”
“Yan and I will wait for you guys here.”
Tang Zhiyun nodded and followed Wu Yiyao.
Chu Luo waited for them to enter before raising her arm to cover the backyard with a barrier.
She and Li Yan stood in the courtyard in front.
Li Yan looked around warily and asked her, “Where is the person who did the ritual?”
Chu Luo waited for a few seconds before saying, “Out of town.”
At this point, she sneered. “If he wants to do something to me from another location, he must have something I used before. Looks like someone at Imperial University helped that person.”
“Who is it?”
Li Yan’s tone was murderous.
Chu Luo curled her lips and said in a mocking tone, “A green tea b*tch.”
Li Yan tilted his head to look at her.
Chu Luo could see the confusion in his eyes regarding the term green tea b*tch. She explained to him seriously, “A green tea b*tch is a girl who looks innocent on the surface but is full of schemes on the inside.”
Li Yan tightened his grip on her hand. “Why didn’t you resolve this kind of girl?”
“I can’t be bothered to resolve it.” In any case, that person had never won against her before.
However, Chu Luo also thought deeply for a while and felt that some people should indeed be resolved as soon as they appeared. Otherwise, they might secretly do some sinister things someday.

While the two of them were talking, the atmosphere in the entire front yard had changed drastically. All the lights and streetlights had been extinguished, and the surroundings had turned pitch-black.
Chu Luo grabbed Li Yan’s hand and said to him, “I’ll pull the culprit and another person over later using a spell.”
A red light flashed across her wrist and immediately surrounded Li Yan.
Li Yan glanced at himself and asked her, “What is this?”
“I’ll let Phoenix protect you.”
After saying that, Chu Luo let go of his hand.
“You just need to stand at the side and watch the show.”
“Mm.”
With Phoenix’s protection, Li Yan could see this dark space. He quickly retreated a few steps.
Then, Chu Luo took out a silver thread and a fist-sized bell.
The silver thread shot out from her hand into the void. The other end disappeared and split into two.
Chu Luo quickly chanted an incantation. With a shake of her hand, the silver thread trembled.
She shook it seven times. After shaking it, she shouted, “Retrieve.”
Then, she lifted the silver thread and saw two people being pulled out of the void.
A woman in a black robe and Song Ci came out.
Song Ci was thrown to the ground and rolled on the ground in fear and embarrassment before stopping.
The black-robed woman staggered a few times, her face filled with disbelief.
Chu Luo put away the silver thread and stared at them with her cold eyes.
“To think you have such ability!” After the black-robed woman stabilized her body, anger appeared on her face. “No one has dared to take me away from the place where I cast the spell. Looks like you have an incredible treasure on you.”
After saying that, she looked at the bell in Chu Luo’s hand with obvious greed in her eyes.
“I want this treasure.”
“That depends on whether you have the ability to take it.”
Chu Luo walked towards her and sneered. “What do you want to do to me? Cripple my hands?”
A vicious expression appeared on the black-robed woman’s face. “Since you know, your hand must stay behind today.”
“Is that so? Then let’s play,” Chu Luo said and pointed at her hands. “Since you like to cripple other people’s hands so much, you can leave your hands behind.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she shook the bell in her hand.
The sound wave made Song Ci, who was about to get up, lie down again.

Just as the black-robed woman was about to block it, Song Ci shouted at her, “Ulan, help me quickly. There’s a stone on my back. It’s so heavy.”
Ulan quickly turned to look at him. Seeing his pained expression, her expression changed and she was about to walk over.
How could Chu Luo give her this chance? She rang the bell again. In the next second, she and Ulan disappeared into the darkness at the same time and entered the temple in the rockery.
The moment the two of them disappeared, the weight on Song Ci’s back finally disappeared. Just as he exhaled, he heard footsteps approaching him.
He subconsciously looked up and was frightened out of his wits.
“What… what do you want to do?”
Li Yan was holding a thin whip and his expression was so cold that it made people’s hearts tremble. He walked towards Song Ci step by step and pointed the whip at him. He said coldly, “How dare you have designs on Luoluo? You’re courting death!”
With that, he raised his hand and whipped Song Ci.

“Ahhh…”
Instantly, the sound of the whip striking his body and the scream of pain that broke the silence resounded in this space.
However, no one came.
…
After Chu Luo brought Ulan to the temple on the rockery, the scenery in front of the two of them seemed to have come alive. It became a real temple.
The deities worshiped in the temple weren’t Bodhisattvas, but the Ten Kings of Hell.
When Ulan saw the scene in front of her, her expression became stern. “To think you have such ability! Looks like you don’t only have that treasure on you.”
“Ha!” Chu Luo sneered. “Indeed, it’s more than that. You can come and get it if you have the ability.”
“Then don’t blame me for being rude.”
After saying that, a sword quickly appeared in Ulan’s hand. The body of the sword was like a snake as it spat out its snake tongue and quickly flew towards Chu Luo.
Chu Luo stood there and didn’t move at all. The tip of the sword stopped a few centimeters away from her, blocked by an invisible force.
Ulan was shocked by the force and retreated a few steps. The sword in her hand turned into countless venomous snakes spitting their tongues and quickly flew towards Chu Luo.
Chu Luo lifted her toes and floated in the air. The silver thread in her hand quickly turned into countless strands that flew towards the seven-inch spot of these poisonous snakes.
Soon, all the poisonous snakes were shot through at the seven-inch spot and disappeared.
Ulan took out another talisman and quickly made a hand seal.
“You want to control the Ten Yama Kings? Let’s see if you have the ability.”
Chu Luo played the Phoenix Zither at the same time. She sat cross-legged and gestured with her fingers.
The moment the zither melody rang, the sound wave penetrated the hall and reverberated in the temple.
Ulan looked at Chu Luo’s Phoenix Zither and was shocked. “You actually have such a powerful Dharmic Artifact.”

After saying that, she quickly took out a dagger. The blade was flickering with blue flames, and there seemed to be countless souls sealed in the flames.
Ulan quickly spat out a mouthful of blood from the sound waves of the zither, but the dagger in her hand stabbed at Chu Luo with a vicious aura.
Chu Luo looked at the dagger and surprise flashed across her eyes.
