Hu Jiutian followed the lessons Song Chuyi had taught him to control the rhythm of the illusions.
As long as the guests had the thought of throwing down money to leave, he would dispel the illusion.
This way, they could earn an extra thousand.
Hu Jiutian could open many small illusions at the same time. At first, he wasn’t skilled at managing them simultaneously.
But as more and more guests arrived, he grew more proficient, and his control over the illusions reached an unparalleled level.
Now, even if people from the Demon Management Bureau came, as long as they entered his illusion, he could silently kill them if he wanted to.
But Hu Jiutian wouldn’t do that.
Because A’Chu didn’t like him killing people.
If A’Chu didn’t like it, he wouldn’t do it.
With Hu Jiutian’s strong control over illusions, Song Chuyi’s money-making speed was unmatched in the entire Infinite Amusement Park.
He used the money to buy a villa, the kind that was ready to move into.
Two months flew by, and Song Chuyi and Hu Jiutian were almost inseparable.
Song Chuyi could tell that Hu Jiutian was incredibly attached to him. No matter what he was doing, Hu Jiutian would follow him.
Well… he was grateful that, being a spirit, he didn’t need to worry about using the bathroom.
Otherwise, Hu Jiutian would probably follow him to the bathroom.
Over this time, a guy named Yu Tiangong visited the escape room multiple times. Each time, he got scared off but came back even braver.
After coming so many times, Song Chuyi got to know him and brought him up a few times when talking to Hu Jiutian.
Today, Yu Tiangong came again. He was busy stirring things up on the forum and wasn’t paying much attention to what that person was doing.
With Tiantian around, he felt very relieved.
Just like before, Hu Jiutian pulled Yu Tiangong into an illusion, but this time, Hu Jiutian joined him inside it.
In the bamboo forest, Yu Tiangong was surprised to find himself in his true form.
His true form was a green snake that grew up in the bamboo forest. After ten years, he took on human form.
It had been ten years since he’d become human. Since then, Yu Tiangong had never reverted to his original form.
Seeing himself revert to his true form, he felt a surge of panic.
A thought flashed through his mind, his narrow pupils contracted, and he gasped in shock, “Hu Jiutian?”
A pure white nine-tailed fox emerged slowly from behind the bamboo grove.
He placed a paw on the seven inches of the small green snake, with a murderous look between his brows.
“You want to die.”
Yu Tiangong's pupils narrowed into thin slits.
"How dare you?"
"How dare you use demonic energy?"
As Hu Jiutian's former friend, Yu Tiangong knew he was exceptionally skilled with illusions.
But he never expected Hu Jiutian, still in his original form, to dare use illusions on him.
And within the illusion, Hu Jiutian had even turned him back into his original form!
Suddenly, Yu Tiangong realized, "Have you been using illusions on humans?"
Hu Jiutian extended his sharp claws, their pointed tips piercing Yu Tiangong’s skin.
Yu Tiangong cried out in pain, "Hu Jiutian, are you crazy?"
"Do you have any idea what happens to demons who kill humans before they transform?"
Hu Jiutian chuckled, "I know."
Yu Tiangong was both shocked and horrified. He couldn't understand why Hu Jiutian had developed a desire to kill him.
"Hu Jiutian, we were once friends," Yu Tiangong tried to reason with him.
The beautiful nine-tailed fox tilted his head, a hint of confusion flashing in his red eyes.
"Friends?"
He laughed.
"Why did you abandon me once you became human?"
"You lived your human life, not even bothering to get me a simple meal."
"Friend?"
"Yu Tiangong, you are truly hypocritical."
His skin was pierced by Hu Jiutian’s sharp claws, and blood started flowing.
Yu Tiangong could sense the killing intent emanating from Hu Jiutian and gritted his teeth.
"Transformed demons and untransformed demons are completely different beings."
"Isn't that something we both understand well?"
Hu Jiutian chuckled, "Of course, I'm very clear about that."
"So I just cut ties with you."
"I never had any desire to kill you, but..."
His eyes suddenly turned cold. "How dare you catch A'Chu's attention?"
How could a mere green snake be mentioned by A'Chu in front of him, time and time again?
A'Chu’s thoughts, eyes, and heart... should be filled with only me.
Once Yu Tiangong is out of the picture, A'Chu will forget he ever existed.
He'll be mine, completely.
Just thinking about it made Hu Jiutian's blood race.
The killing intent surged at the same time, and blood soon stained his claws red.
Pain wracked Yu Tiangong, barely letting him whisper two words.
"A'Chu?"
Hu Jiutian's gaze turned icy. "You think you're worthy to call his name?"
Teeth clenched, Yu Tiangong drew a shaky breath and stammered, "I have no clue who you mean."
"Even if you're going to kill me, can't you at least tell me why?"
Seeing genuine confusion, Hu Jiutian finally said,
"The owner of this haunted escape room, Song Chuyi."
An image of a strikingly beautiful young man flashed through Yu Tiangong's mind. "You mean that spirit floating in the air?"
Hu Jiutian nodded.
Upon hearing the confirmation, Yu Tiangong nearly passed out.
"I didn't even get to say two words to him, and you want to kill me for this?"
For the first time, Yu Tiangong realized his old friend had truly lost it.
He got why Hu Jiutian wanted to kill him out of jealousy over his human form.
He could also understand wanting to kill him for revenge after he became human and cut off all contact.
But killing him over some guy he'd barely exchanged two words with? That was beyond comprehension!
To Yu Tiangong's surprise, Hu Jiutian didn't ease up at all. He even furrowed his brow and asked,
"You actually said two whole words to him?"
"Which two?"
"Tell me."
Yu Tiangong: ...
Just kill me.
"If not, just kill me," Yu Tiangong said weakly.
Hu Jiutian sneered, "Want to die? You're dying after you tell me what those two words were. Hurry up!"
Yu Tiangong almost couldn't catch his breath.
"The first word he said was, 'Today's full, no need to wait,' and I just replied with 'Okay.'"
Yu Tiangong delivered it with a defeated sigh.
"He said the ticket price went up and asked for my understanding, so I agreed."
"That was all he said."
Hu Jiutian's eyes narrowed. "He asked for your understanding?"
"What kind of creature are you to ask for A'Chu's understanding?"
Yu Tiangong rolled his eyes and passed out cold.
Hu Jiutian's sharp claws hovered over the green snake's vital point, but he hesitated.
"Pathetic."
"With guts like that, you dare ask for A'Chu's understanding?"
Of course A'Chu can raise the price. This stinking green snake should be grateful instead of asking for A'Chu's understanding!
I should just kill him.
Hu Jiutian's sharp claws hovered over the green snake's vital point, but he hesitated.
A'Chu wouldn't approve of him killing.
He retracted his claws and left the illusions.
He turned to gaze at the beaming young man, and his fox tail approached, softly brushing against his ankle.
It silently coiled around.
A'Chu was so soft; Hu Jiutian loved it.
