After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 260 Underwater, countless eyes are watching him.

The water has turned blood red; what's impossible now?

"Not going?" Shen Yu said calmly, "It's not up to you."

"Those wandering souls need to see you for their resentment to subside even slightly. Otherwise, once their resentment fully erupts, no one can stop them."

"No...no..." Chu Tianxiang was so scared he almost wet himself. "I beg you...don't take me...I don't want to die..."

He kept kowtowing until his forehead turned red.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Zhao Rui felt only disgust, not a trace of sympathy.

If only I had known I'd end up in Japan, I wouldn't have bothered in the first place.

"Alright, stop playing dead," Zhao Rui said coldly. "Get up and come with us."

"No... I won't leave..." Chu Tianxiang lay on the ground, refusing to get up.

Zhao Rui frowned and was about to go up and pull him when Shen Yu waved his hand.

"No need to waste words with him."

Shen Yu stretched out his hand, and his spiritual energy circulated slightly.

Chu Tianxiang felt an invisible force grab him, lift him off the ground, and suspend him in mid-air.

"Ah!" Chu Tianxiang screamed in fright, "Put me down! Put me down right now!"

He struggled desperately, but it was no use; the force was very steady.

Shen Yu ignored him and turned to walk out.

That invisible force carried Chu Tianxiang, following behind Shen Yu, and floated outwards.

Zhao Rui was stunned and quickly followed.

Outside the office, the secretary and staff were stunned by what they saw.

Their CEO, Mr. Chu, was actually carried out like a little chick?

What... what's going on here?

The crowd looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Shen Yu carried Chu Tianxiang out of the office building and threw him into the car.

"Mr. Shen, shall we go back to the reservoir now?" Zhao Rui asked as he got into the driver's seat.

"Okay." Shen Yu nodded. "Go back. Let those wandering souls meet their 'old acquaintances'."

Chu Tianxiang sat in the back seat, his face pale with fright, his whole body trembling, muttering things like "Don't kill me" and "I was wrong."

Zhao Rui glanced at him in the rearview mirror and sneered inwardly.

Now you know fear?

Why didn't you do this sooner?

The car started and headed towards Qinglong Reservoir.

As the sun sets, it paints half the sky red.

Shen Yu looked out the window, his eyes cold.

Let Chu Ergou's grandson pay off the debts he owes.

The car sped along, heading towards Qinglong Reservoir.

Chu Tianxiang sat in the back seat, trembling with fear, his face pale, muttering something incessantly, as if he had gone mad.

Zhao Rui glanced at him in the rearview mirror, feeling nothing but disgust.

This kind of person won't shed a tear until they see the coffin.

If I had known this day would come, what was I doing back then?

Shen Yu sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was very oppressive.

About an hour later, the car arrived at Qinglong Reservoir.

As soon as I got out of the car, a strong smell of blood hit me, even stronger than in the afternoon.

The water in the reservoir had deepened in color, turning a dark red, like real blood.

Bubbling and gurgling filled the water, as if something was churning underneath, which looked particularly eerie.

The golden light shield that Shen Yu had set up had become very thin and was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Mr. Shen, the light shield is about to give way!" Zhao Rui said anxiously, his expression changing.

"Hmm." Shen Yu nodded, his expression somewhat serious. "It's faster than I expected."

He originally thought he could hold out for three days, but now it seems he'll be lucky to make it to tomorrow morning.

The resentment was growing much faster than he had imagined.

"What should we do then?" Zhao Rui asked hurriedly, "Should we add another formation?"

"It's no use." Shen Yu shook his head. "The resentment is too strong; ordinary formations can't stop it."

"Then... what do we do?" Zhao Rui panicked a little.

If the protective shield breaks and resentment bursts out, that would be troublesome.

"Take him there first." Shen Yu pointed at Chu Tianxiang, "Let those wandering souls feel his presence; that should calm their resentment a little."

"Huh?" Zhao Rui was taken aback. "Will this work?"

"Give it a try," Shen Yu said calmly. "It's better than doing nothing."

"Okay." Zhao Rui nodded and turned to pull Chu Tianxiang.

Chu Tianxiang was so frightened that his legs went weak and he couldn't even stand up. He was dragged by Zhao Rui and staggered towards the reservoir.

"No... I won't go... I won't go there..." Chu Tianxiang struggled desperately in terror, "Please... don't take me there... I don't want to die..."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Zhao Rui said coldly. "Now you're scared? What were you doing before? Get out of here!"

He pulled Chu Tianxiang along until they reached the reservoir before stopping.

Chu Tianxiang looked at the dark red water and smelled the strong stench of blood. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and his teeth chattered.

He could feel countless eyes watching him from underwater.

Those eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent.

It was as if they wanted to devour him alive.

"No...no..." Chu Tianxiang was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud and kept kowtowing to the water.

"Dear ancestors... Dear elders... I was wrong... I shouldn't have thrown things into the water... I'll pay for it..."

I'll build temples for you... I'll burn incense for you... Please, please let me go...

He kowtowed and cried, looking utterly pathetic.

Zhao Rui stood to the side, looking at him like this, without feeling a shred of sympathy.

Deserve it.

Shen Yu stood to one side, looking at the water, without saying a word.

Sure enough, with Chu Tianxiang's appearance, the water churned even more violently, bubbling and gurgling, as if something was about to emerge from beneath.

The resentment only intensified.

"Mr. Shen, what... what's going on?" Zhao Rui's face turned pale. "Why does the resentment seem even stronger?"

"That's normal," Shen Yu said calmly. "How could those ghosts not be excited when they see the descendants of their enemies?"

"Huh? Then aren't we just making things worse?" Zhao Rui exclaimed anxiously.

"Not really," Shen Yu said. "At least, we've confirmed one thing."

"What is it?" Zhao Rui asked quickly.

"It has been confirmed that Chu Tianxiang is indeed Chu Ergou's grandson."

Shen Yu's eyes turned cold. "Those souls reacted so strongly to his aura, there's no mistake."

"This..." Zhao Rui was both amused and exasperated. "What's the use of confirming this at a time like this?"

"Of course it's useful," Shen Yu said. "Only by identifying the source of their hatred can we better resolve their resentment during the ritual."

"Oh..." Zhao Rui nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Just then, there was a sudden, loud splash on the water.
