Chapter 326: Only I Can Protect You_1

```

The Huang Family mansion was grand, resembling the dwellings of ancient nobility, located at the foot of a verdant mountain.

No sooner had everyone arrived than they heard intermittent wailing and particularly mournful funeral music from within.

Rows of bluish-white lanterns hung on the wall, and green elegiac couplets were pasted at the entrance.

Atop the walls stood tall, soul-summoning banners, and the chanting of monks could vaguely be heard.

As night fell, this scene was particularly unsettling.

Xue Lixue couldn't help but grab Shen Zhou's arm, indicating her fear, "Scary!"

Shen Zhou wrapped Xue Lixue in his embrace, gently stroking her hair with his other hand, comfortingly saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Xue Lixue was touched and nodded in agreement.

But then, she realized something was off.

Her delicate upper body was almost completely pressed against this guy's chest.

In the front.

The driver and the bodyguards turned their heads to look.
