Curse Demon in the Human World

The night was like ink, the moonlight sparse. A faint mist shrouded the ground, making it difficult to see.

In the study of the Lu family, the dim lamplight penetrated the window, casting two distinct shadows—one of the master, Lu, and the other of his rough-looking eldest son.

Lu was a middle-aged man with a sturdy build. His face was dark, and he was currently gnawing on a piece of dried meat, his lips pursed in dissatisfaction.

"We should have gotten rid of that little ghost long ago. It's been three days, and he's really starting to get on my nerves. I don't want my reputation as Master Lu to be ruined."

His voice was low and hoarse, carrying an undeniable sense of authority.

Lu's wife, a woman with a delicate appearance, grabbed a piece of black jerky and gnawed on it fiercely. A hint of fear flickered in her eyes.

"My lord, please spare him. That little ghost is too troublesome. I'm afraid."

Her voice was soft and trembling. She glanced at the two of them, her heart filled with apprehension.

"What's there to be afraid of? I've always tolerated him. When his parents were alive, I never saw anything special about him. He's just a commoner." Lu master sneered, his face full of disdain.

"He dares to point fingers at my land and people? Then I will not show any mercy." His words were filled with a chilling coldness, as if any sin would be forgiven.

"He's always been so strange. None of us dared to get close to him. It's good that the Curse Master has taken advantage of him." Lu master's wife added, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through, and both of their faces turned pale.

"But all the people who used to go out with you have died tragically. Even the children of the Curse Master have been killed." Lu master's heart was filled with a sense of unease.

"Don't worry. Haven't I already appeased the Law Master? According to reason, he should have arrived by now. The city gates are usually closed by this hour."

Lu master snorted, using the Law Master's arrival to appease his wife's fear.

"I beg you, my lord, that little ghost is too young. If he dies with me, my reputation will be ruined." His words revealed a hint of calculation and cunning.

"When the Law Master arrives, tell him that the person who brought him here is a lowly servant. Then, the Law Master will take care of it for us." Lu master's wife said, her eyes flashing with poisonous light.

"Before the Law Master arrives, I'll kill him. Since you're afraid, let me handle it." Lu master stood up, his hands clenched.

"You can go. You can see that little ghost. He's good-looking, but I don't know what he's thinking." Lu master's wife warned him, her eyes filled with coldness.

"Who is that? Master Lu looked at his son with a frown.

"Why not? Last time, it wasn't my fault..." Lu master's wife hesitated, as if recalling something unpleasant.

"Enough, enough. I know." Lu master impatiently interrupted his son's words.

"Don't pretend you don't know. Your actions are just a cover. You've fallen for the human world, and the human world doesn't suit you. You hate it in your heart, and you killed the whole family." Lu master's wife said indignantly, her face filled with dissatisfaction.

"You're still thinking about that? I've already tolerated it. You actually dared to harm me. If I don't kill your wife, I'll let you know what it means to be a subordinate."

With that, Lu master flipped the table. His son, Lu, fell to the ground and let out a scream.

Xia Bu and Jia Meng's faces were filled with emotion. The words of Lu master's wife entered their ears, and their hearts had already outlined the entire event.

Lu's face was filled with sorrow, and the suffering of the Lu family, like a shadow under the night sky, made people feel pity.

Lu wanted to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't want to waste his words. He plunged into a family of lowly servants, wanting to take them as his subordinates.

And that person with the appearance of a Curse Master, filled with hatred and a grim expression, turned into blazing flames, vowing to burn all those lowly servants to ashes.

"Hmph, if I wanted to kill him, you would have protected me."

Xia Bu's voice was low and deep, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Jia Meng shook his head and said, "First, let's go see the two children left behind."

His words revealed a hint of unspoken worry, and then he led Xia Bu towards the place where the two children were.

When he thought of the two little girls, even the usually calm Jia Meng couldn't help but feel a pang in his chest.

The two little girls looked similar, huddled in the corner of the vast room. Their frail bodies were covered in bruises, the result of the suffering they had endured. Their eyes were filled with fear and hope, as if the whole world had lost its color.

Jia Meng stepped forward and gently pulled open the sturdy door, walking towards the room.

The little girl saw a stranger approaching and instinctively shrank back. Jia Meng's body trembled, and he felt even smaller.

"Don't be afraid, Uncle is here to save you."

Jia Meng's voice was gentle and reassuring. He walked to the little girl's side and gently touched the bruises on her body.

He found two more small wounds on the girl's body. He gently placed them on her body, filling her cold body, and also filling her broken heart.

Jia Meng's body was filled with the trust of the two little girls. She timidly reached out her small hand and was held by him. Then, she walked out of the room, as if stepping towards a new world.

"Hmph, what are you trying to do?" Jia Meng walked towards Xia Bu, his eyes filled with both surprise and hope.

Xia Bu's eyes were deep and dark. He opened his mouth and said, "First, let's settle the score."

His voice was gentle, but it carried an undeniable power.

The two little girls grabbed Jia Meng's hand, their eyes shining with tears. Their voices were hoarse. "Don't abandon us."

Their voices were small, but they were filled with the hope of survival and safety.

The two little girls were Jia Meng's disciples and Jia Meng's beautiful daughters. He timidly leaned against Jia Meng's leg. Tears filled his big eyes, as if he was imitating the two people he feared and hated.

His small body was plump, but he could still show the shadow of his parents, a trace of deep love and strength.

Xia Bu squatted down. His hands gently stroked the two little girls' hair, his heart filled with emotion.

"I can protect all the people in this world, or perhaps let them go. No matter what, I can protect you. Why are you still here?"

His eyes were filled with complex emotions, as if waiting for an answer.
