487 Fearing The Light

When she arrived at Duke Xu’s mansion, the servants immediately welcomed her in.

Madam Xu had been waiting for Xia Qiluo since early morning. When she saw her, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Xia Qiluo walked into the courtyard and saw that the doors and windows were nailed tightly. “What’s going on?”

Madam Xu said worriedly, “Lin said he doesn’t like light.”

Xu Lin’s condition was getting worse and worse. He was becoming more and more unlike a human. Madam Xu hoped that Xia Qiluo could save her son. She no longer hoped that her son could be a healthy person. She only wanted him to be a human.

Xia Qiluo said with a deep frown, “Let’s go in and see how he’s doing first.”

She pushed open the door and entered. It was pitch-black inside. With the light coming in as the door opened, the room gradually brightened up.

“Close the door!”

A deep voice filled with anger sounded across the room.

Madam Xu hurriedly walked in and lit a candle. Then, she returned and quickly closed the door. She looked at Xu Lin, who was curled up on the ground, with pain in her eyes. “Lin.”

Xu Lin raised his head, his eyes a little cold. He looked at Madam Xu and said flatly, “Mother, don’t come to see me in the daytime. Also, get the servants to cover the wall with ivy. I don’t want to see any light.”

Madam Xu’s heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She looked at Xia Qiluo. “Seventh Princess.”

Xia Qiluo slowly adapted to the dimness in the room. She walked to Xu Lin’s side. Xu Lin raised his head and looked at Xia Qiluo. His nose twitched as if he was sniffing her.

Xia Qiluo looked at Xu Lin, and Xu Lin also looked at her. Xia Qiluo was shocked.

Xu Lin’s eyes were very cold, like a ferocious beast staring at its prey. She even heard Xu Lin swallowing his saliva. Obviously, he wanted to eat her.

Madam Xu was suddenly a little afraid. “Lin, wake up. Seventh Princess is here to save you.”

What she was most afraid of was that Xu Lin would lose his mind. It was fine if he ate raw food, but she was afraid that he would start to eat humans. In just a few days, Xu Lin had changed so much. She did not dare to imagine what would happen if Xu Lin became a man-eating monster.

The servants did not dare to approach the courtyard, so most of the time, Madam Xu was the one who delivered the food. Since she was Xu Lin’s mother, he was still in his right mind when he saw her. When she heard Xu Lin swallowing his saliva, Madam Xu almost broke down and cried.

Xu Lin looked away from Xia Qiluo with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, “What’s wrong with me?”

He hated himself for becoming like a monster. His sense of smell had become abnormally sharp. He smelled the fragrance coming from Xia Qiluo’s flesh, making the blood in his entire body boil. He wanted to rip Xia Qiluo’s throat open, drink her blood, and eat her flesh.

The remaining rationality in his mind was barely able to keep him away from doing that. Once he ate someone, there would be no going back.

Xia Qiluo observed attentively and realized that Xu Lin’s condition was no small matter. He was gradually transforming from a human to an emotionless beast. His body had become some kind of a container for a demon spirit.

She took out the talismans that she had brought with her. Among them, there was a Lightning Triggering talisman.

She said, “Young Master Xu has been possessed by a demon spirit. After being possessed, he will transform into a monster. My shifu once said that after the demons with intelligence are killed, they will find a suitable host body to possess. After completely occupying it, they will use the body to take revenge.”

Madam Xu looked at Xia Qiluo nervously. “Then, what should we do? Seventh Princess, please save my son. I’ve worked so hard for half my life to keep my son alive. Princess, please save my son on account of the Xu family’s loyalty and contribution to the dynasty.”

The Xu family had been loyal for generations and didn’t have many descendants. Duke Xu was the only descendant in his generation, but unfortunately, he died early. If Madam Xu wasn’t pregnant with his son, the Xu family bloodline would have ended long ago.

As the Seventh Princess, Xia Qiluo naturally knew about it. She looked at Madam Xu and said, “Demon spirits are afraid of Yang. I’ll try using the Lightning Triggering Talisman. The process might be very painful.”

Madam Xu was worried. Would something happen to her son after being struck by lightning?

However, Xu Lin bit the bullet and said firmly, “Seventh Princess, do it. If I die, no one will blame you for this. I’m tired of being neither human nor monster. I don’t know if I’m possessed by a demon spirit, but I know that it’s getting harder and harder for me to control myself.”

Tears welled up in Madam Xu’s eyes. “Lin.”

Xu Lin looked at Madam Xu and his cold expression softened. “Mother, I’m human, and I don’t want to become a monster.”

Eating raw food could no longer satisfy him. He even wanted to eat people. His feelings for his mother were gradually fading. In the end, he would completely become a man-eating monster and then be killed and subdued by the psychics.

Madam Xu wiped her tears and looked at Xia Qiluo. “My son is right. Princess, please do it. No matter what the outcome is, I’ll accept it.”

Xia Qiluo held the Lightning Triggering Talisman. Although it was dangerous, Xu Lin’s condition was not irredeemable. The Lightning Triggering Talisman replete with Yang energy could absolutely help him get rid of the demon spirit.

As she waved her hand, the talisman paper flew towards Xu Lin and stuck to his chest, and complicated runes flashed with golden light.

Boom!

There was a thunderclap, followed by a blinding white light. Xu Lin seemed to be in extreme pain and let out a hoarse scream. “Ah.”

After the white light was gone, the room was shrouded in pitch-blackness again. Xu Lin seemed to be in great pain as he smashed the things in the room.

Madam Xu’s voice was filled with worry. “Lin, Lin.”

Xu Lin destroyed everything that could be destroyed. The talisman stuck to his chest burned bit by bit. He fell to the ground and rolled in pain. “Ah… it hurts. Mother, save me. I’m going to die.”

His voice became sharp. Madam Xu was anxious, but she didn’t know what to do.

Xia Qiluo said calmly, “Don’t get close to him.”

Xu Lin felt a force burning in his body. He was in pain, and his entire body seemed to be about to explode. His eyes turned red, and something broke out of his body. His nails become long and sharp, and his red eyes locked onto Xia Qiluo. “If you want to kill me, I’ll kill you first.”

Thick gray hair grew on Xu Lin’s face as he pounced nimbly at Xia Qiluo. His head turned into a wolf and he opened his mouth, wanting to bite Xia Qiluo’s neck.
