Ghost or Human?

However, the expected pain did not arrive. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw Butler Lee's palm stuck in midair.

His wrist and his body were wrapped with a thin string. No… instead of a string, it looked more like a whip—a whip covered in thorns.

Butler Lee turned his head in anger. "What the hell. Who is the ignorant fool who dares to go against me?"

Just as he was about to activate all his spiritual powers to break free from the whip, he suddenly felt excruciating pain at his waist, which was similar to being punched sharply again and again. Right on the heels, his entire person tumbled in the air.

"Ah, ah, ah…!" The shrill voice resounded in the house.

Everyone present was stunned by the scene in front of them and was glued to the ground. They watched on as Butler Lee, who was usually strong and mighty in their eyes, tumbled into the air like a rotten sack and fell onto the ground harshly.

Craa… crack…

The blood-curdling sounds echoed from Butler Lee's body. That… that was the sound of all of his bones breaking inch by inch!

Butler Lee's eyes turned white, and his mouth was spouting blood. In the blink of an eye, his heart had stopped; and he had died.

All the servants' faces changed color as they stared at the door in horror and with their mouth agape. The girl, with the dark night behind her, walked into the room slowly.

"Ah…!" The pageboy, who was beside Butler Lee, let out a sharp scream. "How is this possible? How… how did you come back? How can you come back?"

Even though the other servants were not as petrified as he was, their faces were still filled with confusion and anxiety.

The person in front of them had yellow skin and was very petite, but judging from her appearance and body shape, this was clearly their residence owner—Nalan Hexi.

However, was this really Nalan Hexi?

In their memory, the forever-cowardly pushover was the trashy Third Missy. How could she put on such a threatening expression?

What was even scarier was that she only used one punch to make Butler Lee lose all his ability to fight back, shatter all his bones, and kill him in the most pathetic manner.

That was right. The person in front of them was He Xi, who had robbed the Zhu Mansion, and relied on the previous owner's memory to come back to the residence.

At first, she thought that she had already imagined Nalan Hexi's circumstances to be very pathetic. When she saw the previous scene, she knew that Nalan Hexi and her wet nurse—the only one that cared about her—had led a life that could not even compare to animals.

A missy had been chased to the storeroom, and the evil slaves legitimately took over the main house. All the food and items the Nalan Residence sent over were split amongst the evil slaves. Every day, they could only eat leftovers and were hardly full.

The most ridiculous thing was that after their Missy went missing, this bunch of slaves was not even the least bit worried and even wanted to kill her supporter, Wet Nurse Chen.

Even though she was very sympathetic to Nalan Hexi's situation, she knew that it was not easy for a person with no cultivation talent to survive in such a world. However, He Xi could not take it and sighed. As the missy of a wealthy family, Nalan Hexi's life was really down in the dumps.

He Xi walked forward, step by step. Every step she took, the people in the house would cower back a step.

The pageboy in cahoots with Butler Lee was frightened until his whole body was trembling.

"What… what kind of person are you?" He panicked and collapsed on the floor, but he still could not resist crawling back for his life.

"You… you're a ghost, aren't you? You're Third Missy's ghost that came back for revenge, right?

"No…! No…! Don't look at me. I didn't do it! I just listened to Butler Zhang's commands. If you want to find the culprit, look for Second Missy and Butler Zhang. This thing has nothing to do with me!"
