Xiao Lin could clearly feel that something had been very wrong with the atmosphere in the residence lately.
For one thing, as one of the residence's guards, Xiao Lin had not seen its master-the Marquis he suspected was an important story NPC-for quite some time.
And this atmosphere had only begun after that deeply unsettling girl of another race arrived.
Apparently, on the day that slave girl entered the residence, the Marquis summoned her to his bedroom.
He had not left his room since.
Both the Marquis's personal maid and the residence's Old Butler seemed to have mysteriously disappeared as well.
The Head Guard was now the highest authority left in the Marquis's Residence, but he had done nothing unusual, merely assigning Xiao Lin and the other guards their usual sentry duties.
At some point, a colleague approached Xiao Lin as he stood lost in thought.
It was none other than Spencer, who had teamed up with him to capture the ghoul.
But Xiao Lin keenly noticed that Spencer looked decidedly unwell.
As a Black Iron Three-Star Transcendent, Spencer had always possessed an exceptionally robust physique and tremendous energy.
Now, however, Spencer looked like someone who had stayed up for several nights straight while jerking himself off like mad.
Not only was his complexion dull, but his formerly upright posture had also grown somewhat slumped.
Having completed a mission together, Xiao Lin was naturally closer to him than to the other guards.
Already sensing that something was wrong, Xiao Lin spoke up.
"What's wrong, Spencer? Did you happen to meet a beautiful lady last night who invited you to spend the cold night together?"
Normally, Spencer would have solemnly declared that he was a true gentleman, that he considered love sacred, and that he would never do anything so impure,
