Chapter 86: The Fatal Weakness

　　The existence of corpse oil and Liu Fugui having his essence drained are both confirmed facts.

　　Using corpse oil to bewitch people and make them unable to resist can still be understood.

　　But do humans need to drain other people's essence?

　　Absolutely impossible!

　　Even if some eccentric practices in the Xuanmen involve dual cultivation methods, such as taking yin to nourish yang or taking yang to nourish yin, these are all achieved through sexual intercourse.

　　Only demons and ghosts need to feed on human essence.

　　This Xiaomei is definitely not human.

　　Her current normal behavior is probably to lull Liu Fugui into a false sense of security.

　　Liu Fugui escaped last night and his behavior was abnormal today, she must have become suspicious and is trying to make Liu Fugui feel at ease so she can continue to drain his energy.

　　What a cunning monster!

　　However—

　　Thinking about this, Lu Fei felt a surge of happiness.

　　Liu Fugui is just an ordinary person, and that Little Beauty still needs to use all these tricks to deceive him. Does this mean her combat ability is weak?

　　If that's the case, he doesn't need to be so cautious and can take action directly.

　　Seeing that Lu Fei hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Fugui was as anxious as if his heart was on fire, and gestured to Lu Fei.

　　"What do we do now?"

　　"Stay calm. When she comes out, you distract her attention, and I'll take care of it." Lu Fei said in a low voice, using gestures and lip-reading.

　　It's time to take action.

　　Liu Fugui's heart rate instantly accelerated, feeling both nervous and somewhat excited.

　　The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

　　Lu Fei immediately gestured to Liu Fugui, lifting the heavy broadsword.

　　Understanding, Liu Fugui tightly held the ghost-repelling talisman, walking to the door to attract Xiao Mei's attention.

　　Xiao Mei wrapped herself in a towel, wiped her wet hair, retied the scarf around her neck, and stepped out barefoot from behind the glass partition.

　　"You deadbeat, what are you doing standing outside the door? You startled me!"

　　Seeing Liu Fugui, Xiao Mei scolded him coquettishly, but her expression didn't seem surprised.

　　"Isn't it because I'm worried?"

　　Knowing that he couldn't fail at this moment, Liu Fugui mustered his courage, walked up, and grabbed Xiao Mei's hand.

　　"Rogue! Why did you run off in such a hurry yesterday?"

　　Xiaomei smiled smugly as Liufugui pulled her out of the bathroom.

　　At that moment, Lu Fei immediately swung his knife, aiming at Xiaomei's back.

　　The knife was rusty and its blade had long curled. A strike with it wouldn't cause much harm to a person, but it would be a different story if it hit something impure.

　　Clang!

　　There was a sharp sound.

　　The ghost-head knife hit Xiaomei like it had struck a stone. Not only did it fail to hurt Xiaomei, but it also sent a numbing shock up Lu Fei's hand.

　　This isn't right!

　　Everyone present was stunned in that moment.

　　Xiaomei looked at Lu Fei.

　　Lu Fei looked at Liu Fugui.

　　Liu Fugui looked at Xiao Mei.

　　Everyone exchanged glances.

　　The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

　　Then, Xiao Mei's breathing became rapid, and her face turned sullen.

　　"Um, Xiao Mei, let me explain," Liu Fugui said, sweating profusely, still trying to make excuses.

　　"You're asking for it!"

　　Xiao Mei shouted angrily, grabbed Liu Fugui's hand, and threw him out with force.

　　Liu Fugui, who weighed 180 pounds, was actually thrown onto the sofa, instantly feeling dizzy and disoriented.

　　What incredible strength!

　　Lu Fei hurriedly swung his knife again.

　　Clang!

　　Xiaomei raised her hand and blocked it forcefully; her slender arm was as hard as a rock, and with great strength, she forced Lu Fei to take several steps back.

　　Blocking the knife with her bare hands, not even a mark was left on her skin.

　　No.

　　This isn't just like a rock; it's more like steel!

　　Copper skin and iron bones, aren't these traits of a zombie?

　　Lu Fei was utterly shocked.

　　Could Xiaomei be a zombie?

　　But that doesn't make sense.

　　Zombies fear sunlight, and their limbs are stiff. They also grow hair on their bodies. How could they possibly move around freely like Xiao Mei?

　　Lu Fei found it inconceivable.

　　What exactly is she?

　　But Lu Fei had no time to think about it now.

　　"I knew something was off tonight! So, you, this fat pig, brought someone to deal with me!" Xiao Mei's face was as dark as if it could drip water, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

　　"Fine, I'll take one if one comes, and a pair if two come!"

　　With that, she lunged at Lu Fei with a ferocious aura.

　　Lu Fei hastily swung his knife to defend himself.

　　Xiao Mei was not at all afraid of the ghost-head knife, blocking it directly with her bare arms.

　　She was incredibly strong and had a body as tough as iron, each strike making Lu Fei's hands go numb.

　　Lu Fei was momentarily overwhelmed, retreating step by step.

　　"Manager Xiao Lu..."

　　Liu Fugui struggled to get up from the sofa, trembling as he threw the ghost-repelling charm at Xiaomei.

　　He did so with feeble strength.

　　The ghost-repelling charm fell to the ground, not even touching Xiaomei, but instead further enraging her.

　　"Yesterday, you hurt me with this thing! Die! I'll make you all die!"

　　Xiaomei's face was contorted with rage, determined to kill Lu Fei.

　　Wielding the heavy ghost-headed saber was already a struggle, and now facing an enraged Xiaomei, Lu Fei found it extremely difficult to defend himself, let alone find an opportunity to use the ghost-repelling charm.

　　At that moment.

　　With a loud bang, the door was smashed open.

　　A tall figure rushed into the room, dashing forward with a few quick strides. With a powerful lift of his sturdy leg, he delivered a fierce kick to Xiaomei, pushing her back several steps.

　　"Boss!"

　　"Huzi!"

　　Lu Fei was overjoyed; Huzi seemed like a divine soldier sent from the heavens at this moment.

　　Huzi stood in front of Lu Fei, his tall and robust figure providing a strong sense of security.

　　Lu Fei put down the heavy broadsword and finally had a chance to catch his breath.

　　Xiaomei narrowed her eyes, staring at Huzi with a chilling gaze that could devour a person: "Well, it's three of you! It's been a long time since I've played with three. And such strong, muscular ones at that, I like them!"

　　With those words, she made her move, as ferocious as a wild beast.

　　Huzi, knowing how formidable she was, did not dare to meet her head-on, and used the Ghost-Subduing Charm to engage her in a skirmish.

　　But strangely, the Ghost-Subduing Charm had no effect when it hit Xiaomei.

　　But yesterday, Liu Fugui clearly said that he managed to escape by using the ghost-repelling character to harm Xiaomei.

　　What's going on now?

　　Seeing this, Liu Fugui was completely dumbfounded, his face pale.

　　What kind of monster is Xiaomei?

　　Not only is she impervious to blades and bullets, but she also shows no reaction to talisman spells.

　　Isn't she invincible then?

　　That's still not right!

　　Lu Fei panted heavily, sweat continuously sliding down his forehead. Though his hands remained still, his mind raced with thoughts.

　　Since Xiaomei is so powerful, why would she need to use tricks to confuse Liu Fugui? Couldn't she have just forcibly drained his life force?

　　There must be some other reason behind this.

　　Could it be that Xiaomei has a very fatal weakness, forcing her to act cautiously?

　　Even the most powerful evil spirits have weaknesses!

　　The same goes for demons and monsters.

　　Lu Fei's eyes were fixed tightly on Xiaomei, his mind racing.

　　Where is the weakness?

　　"Boss, I can't hold her off for much longer, you guys run!"

　　The ghost-repelling character doesn't work on Xiaomei, and Huzi also couldn't hold out much longer, he shouted anxiously at Lu Fei.

　　"Run, Brother Xiao Lu!"

　　Liu Fugui turned and ran towards the door.

　　Lu Fei didn't move. As the boss, he couldn't abandon his employees and save himself.

　　Where is Xiaomei's weakness?

　　He stared intently at Xiaomei and suddenly noticed that every time Huzi moved closer to her neck, she would dodge, consciously or subconsciously.

　　His eyes suddenly lit up.

　　That's it, it's the neck!
