the road ruin

　　Daphne's in a hurry? What's her hurry? She's not here to fight me again, is she? I'm too busy to talk to her.

　　This bitch is cold in the face and even colder in the heart, and after I refused to marry her, she kept coming back for trouble, but after I invited Antonio back, I'm not afraid of her anymore.

　　I got dressed and went downstairs with Stein, by this time there was more than just Daphne in the store, there was another woman, her name was Nova and she was the matriarch of Nova's family.

　　Nova's family used to be nether-world merchants, that is, sellers of dead people's stuff, but then they turned good and started a jewelry business, and now they are the big, powerful family of Vervecity. But Nova's family has been experiencing strange occurrences in recent years, with the men all dying strange and violent deaths, and now Nova's family is down to its only male member, a young boy named Zephyr.

　　It's not just the men in Nova's family that have problems, the women have problems too, and one by one they are very cold towards men and women, resulting in basically not wanting to get married, and those that do get married don't have children.

　　To put it bluntly that is, Nova's family is in danger of becoming extinct at this rate!

　　Later Nova told us about an evil thing, that is, her grandfather handed her a jade pendant before he died, and that jade pendant looked normal, but when her grandmother saw it, people went crazy directly.

　　At the time we listened to it, we also made a trip to Nova's family, where even weirder things happened, first Grandma Nova disappeared, then Nova's family had a power outage, and finally Grandma Nova pushed Zephyr down the stairs.

　　To add to the horror, Grandma Nova died on the rooftop, slashing open her own stomach in extreme horror.

　　At that time, there was a very suspicious woman who wore a weird red dress and kept floating around Nova's family mansion, not knowing whether she was a human being or a ghost, Nova searched the whole Nova's family and failed to find out the woman.

　　But this woman, Stein and I have seen it, Zephyr has seen it, and confused him, and in the end Grandma Nova said that the woman in the red dress is here to take her life, and if she doesn't play dumb, she's going to die.

　　But in the end, she had to sacrifice in order to save Zephyr, because that was the last scent of Nova's family, and once Zephyr died, there was no more man in Nova's family!

　　Grandma Nova also talks about the jade pendant before she dies, implying that everything that happened, happened because of the jade pendant.

　　Once Grandma Nova dies, we'll have to go back on the seventh day of the first month, otherwise it'll be unlucky, and we'll be afraid of evil, what if she comes back to us?

　　Generally speaking, loved ones returning to their souls just don't harm their own family, and Stein and I aren't in Nova's family in case it screws us both over.

　　But in a pinch, today just happens to be the eighth day since Nova's grandmother died, the seventh day of the first month has passed, and Nova's family's business can continue to be investigated, but isn't this Nova's family's business? What's Daphne got to do with it? What's her hurry?

　　"Are you ready to come down? Promised you'd leave Nova alone?" Daphne said with a cold mouth and an accusatory look.

　　By all rights, it's already the eighth day and I should have left for Nova's family early in the morning, but it's already twelve noon, but I can't be blamed for that, I've had too much to do, I'm a tired bunch of people, I've been having nightmares all night and can't sleep very well, so I guess I could have slept through the night if Stein hadn't called me.

　　"Yo, it's not like it's your Dai family's business, salty carrot, humph." I retorted, it's not your turn to raise hell here.

　　"You ... you ..." Daphne was speechless with anger and grunted, glaring at me with her hands clasped over her chest in a condescending manner, as if to say, let's see what I'll do with You.

　　"You guys don't argue, Daphne's worrying for our Nova's family is fake, wanting to come see you is real, look at her, she used to be as noble as a piece of thousand year old jade ice, how can she be so easily angered like now, only you can make her like this." Nova said as she put her arm around Daphne from the side.

　　"Don't be ridiculous sister, I don't want to see him, if it wasn't for the fact that he could be of some service to you sister, I would have skinned him long ago." Daphne said in a cold voice.

　　"You really give it up?"

　　"What have I got to give up, huh, ridiculous!"

　　Look at their girlfriends, one person a sentence, like singing a duet, I don't even bother to pay attention to them, or serious to do business first.

　　"Let's cut the crap and get Nova's family out of the way today, and if you two want to talk about comedy, you can go back and take your time." I interrupted their conversation.

　　"You're such a straight man, no wonder even the Dai family's thousand dollar lady can't handle you." Nova spat with a laugh while Daphne stopped talking and just glared at me.

　　"In that case, it's not too late, let's go!" Nova waved his hand and made a please.

　　I said wait a minute, I still have something to do, I'll go with you when I'm done, and let Stein and Antonio greet them while I went straight upstairs.

　　楼上有三个房间,其中两个是Harper和Stella住的,但我不清楚谁住哪,由于太急了,我直接就推开了一扇门,这时候Harper突然就啊了一声,然后用被子捂着身体说道:"你,你,干嘛?"

　　"Sorry, wrong room." I apologized in a hurry, then pushed open the other room.

　　Good lord, this Stella actually got up later than me, and her sleeping position is really not to be praised, it has a kind of four-legged feeling, the quilt fell to the floor, while the pillow is padded under her feet, her head is tilted sideways on the side of the bed, as if she will roll over at any time, and she has drooled around the corners of her mouth, and the bedsheets are all wet.

　　Are you dreaming of a full banquet? Is your mouth watering like this?

　　"Hey, wake up, wake up!" I nudged Stella, intending to wake her up, since she had promised me earlier that if I found Harper she would help me buy a few spells for my defense, and this whole Nova's family thing was definitely not easy, I couldn't go empty-handed again.

　　"Get out of my way and get out of the way of my pig's feet." Stella almost slapped me in the face, then rolled over and nibbled on her hand with gusto.

　　Luckily I was quick to dodge, or that slap would probably have been enough for me.

　　I tried calling her a few more times, but she still didn't respond, sleeping deeper than a pig.

　　Okay, eat pig's feet, I'll let you!

　　I took off my shoes and socks, then slipped my foot into her arms, and not to mention, the girl actually nibbled on it after a few hugs.

　　After ten seconds or so, she suddenly opened her eyes, then stuck her head over the side of the bed and dry-heaved, laughing until I had tears in my eyes.

　　"Stink, Stink, Stink ..." Stella yells madly as she dry heaves while I laugh madly next to her.

　　......

　　Ten minutes later, Stella came downstairs after changing her clothes and me with five layers of gauze wrapped around my head.

　　At that moment, Antonio immediately drew his knife, startling the man next to him, who bellowed, "Mr. Roger, where is the enemy?"

　　Looking at me with a serious head injury, he thought someone had snuck in and beat me up like that.

　　That's when Stella's hand blocked, knocking Antonio's knife back into its sheath in the process.

　　"If you don't fight for three days, you'll go up to your room, today this lady keeps a head on his neck, next time I'll beat the shit out of him." Stella said viciously.

　　No one in the room dared to say anything at this point, even Antonio gulped and looked at me to shut up.

　　"Come on, don't hold me up, I'm going to the hospital later to get my teeth cleaned, it's disgusting."

　　"Holler, here it comes, here it comes." I hurriedly followed behind Stella, groveling as if I were a little eunuch following an old empress.

　　Someone once said that whoever has the biggest boobs is in charge!
