Hong Chun raised her head up and smiled. But it looked out of all sorts with the color red dyeing her face and body. "So you're done pretending to be a guard in that household?"

Of course, she saw through his magical disguise.

Si Hai sighed.

The well-groomed lady he first met was reduced to a blood-soaked ghost. Couldn't she feel the pain from all those injuries? Just looking at the gaping wound on her forearm and back stung him.

She was already like this but she still had the mood to nitpick on him.

"I had to stay there or else this whole fu will be razed to the ground." His words were said in a hurry. "Don't move."

He didn't explain and Hong Chun blankly stared at his retreating back.

He was also covered in blood but she knew it wasn't his. And judging from the direction he came from...

The main house. Her eyes were profound.

Si Hai went back in no time, holding a lamp.

Like a storm, he gathered leaves and heaped them up on Old Shang's body. He then broke the lamp near his feet.

Sensing the woman's stare, he told her. "He asked to be burned."

Hong Chun turned to the fire. Old Shang was soon engulfed within the flames.

A demon seemed to seduce her, whispering for her to touch it. Maybe the suffocating feeling in her chest would go away.

The light of the fire danced on her face, casting a spell.

When she reached out, the fox saw this and his face turned ugly.

As swift as the wind, he carried her away.

"You crazy woman!"

Her gaze was still blank. It seemed it was better if she was knocked out. They had no time to treat her wounds. Escaping should come first.

Before hitting her sleep acupoint, he said. "I took care of the people in the main courtyard. No need to worry."

But the lady closed her eyes and looked like she didn't hear a thing.

He secured her to his back with three of his tails. He couldn't carry her in his arms if he wanted to get away from here quickly.

"I think... told you... don't like furry things." The crazy woman murmured.

So she wasn't knocked down? Tsk, he should have beaten her to death!

Did she think he was having fun while letting a human so close to his body?

He even had to hold her with his tails so she wouldn't fall off! This girl didn't know how to be grateful.

Pressing down his annoyance, his face turned serious as he looked at the blazing pyre one last time.

He knew that the old man was ready to die. To protect this girl until the end was what Old Shang wanted.

He bowed in that direction before speeding away. Si Hai regretted that he arrived too late.

Crimson Trail...

He took care of three assassins in the main courtyard and there were two here.

He reckoned this number was too few.

He should hide this girl, fast.

Si Hai moved with ease as mundane limitations didn't bind him under the cover of the night. Even if there were drunkards half asleep on the road, they would only feel a breeze as the two passed by.
