Chapter 248: Kicked Out of the House

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After pressing the calling device three times without any response, Shen Muhan grew anxious. His mind couldn’t help but imagine a scenario where some researchers were alone in the lab, and an explosion occurred, leaving no one aware of the tragic incident.

Moreover, with the door being so thick, even if Lu Miao were in trouble inside, he wouldn’t be able to hear anything from outside.

With this in mind, Shen Muhan firmly grasped the door handle and pushed it down hard, causing the door to swing open.

As soon as Shen Muhan pushed the door open and saw the state of the room inside, he was stunned.

The room was empty, with no sign of Lu Miao.

Could it be that Lu Miao left without him knowing?

That couldn’t be true; he had been downstairs the whole afternoon, and he was certain Lu Miao hadn’t left the villa.

Shen Muhan took out his phone and called Lu Miao, but the ringing sound came from the table downstairs.

He turned around and searched all the rooms upstairs and downstairs, even the bathrooms, but there was no sign of Lu Miao.

Thinking of the surveillance cameras downstairs, he hurriedly went downstairs and checked the footage on the computer.

According to the surveillance, after Lu Miao entered the room on the second floor, he indeed did not come out again.

Shen Muhan was at a loss. Did Lu Miao mysteriously disappear inside the room?

Feeling unwilling to give up, he entered the room and searched around in circles. He even had the impulse to tear apart the floor and ceiling.

Just as he was about to call the police, Lu Miao’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing “Gu Shiyan” displayed on the screen, Shen Muhan quickly answered the call. Before Gu Shiyan could speak, Shen Muhan urgently said, “My boss has disappeared inside the room.”

After reporting the address, Shen Muhan hung up the phone and anxiously waited at the door. Finally, he saw Lu Miao walking out of the room, holding a box containing a black stone and a grass- like object. A smile appeared on Lu Miao’s face, and he stepped lightly as he walked out of the room.

Shen Muhan immediately rushed forward, lightly touching his shoulder to confirm that he was real, and then blurted out, “Boss, where did you go just now? I was about to dig the whole house to find you.”

Lu Miao raised an eyebrow and turned to walk back into the room.

Seeing this, Shen Muhan hurriedly grabbed his hand, holding it tightly, afraid that he might disappear into the room again.

Lu Miao turned back and pushed Shen Muhan into the room. Looking at the empty room in front of him, he raised his hand and touched his chin. Earlier, Shen Muhan had mentioned something about immortals using spatial spells in the sky. A spark of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he directly inscribed a spatial array on the walls surrounding the room.

Combined with a vacuum and zero gravity device, he combined mysticism with technology to create a unique spatial environment.

Unexpectedly, the Starfall Herb was actually cultivated successfully!!!

Moreover, the time flow inside seemed to be different from outside. The Starfall Herb, which normally took overnight to mature, had fully matured in just a few hours.

This was truly a fortuitous accident, and in the future, the Starfall Herb alone could bring in a substantial income.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the spatial array also had this hidden effect. It perfectly separated the real environment from the void environment, and as long as there was someone inside, no one from outside could enter.

This was probably the reason why Shen Muhan couldn’t find Lu Miao earlier.

Shen Muhan hurriedly ran out in a fluster, “Boss, what’s going on? Why couldn’t I see you after I entered?”

Lu Miao briefly explained to him and carefully put away the herb.

Shen Muhan leaned over the railing upstairs, excitedly shouting, “Boss, this room is so amazing! Can I come here often in the future?”

“Later, record your fingerprints on the door lock, and you can come anytime you want,” Lu Miao said directly.

“Hehe, thanks, Boss!” Shen Muhan happily rushed downstairs, eager to record his fingerprints at the door.

Just as he opened the door, he saw Gu Shiyan’s car screeching to a halt outside. historical

Gu Shiyan’s face was tense as he walked over, asking, “What do you mean she disappeared in the room? In which room did it happen?”

In his deep eyes, it seemed like a brewing storm. Shen Muhan had no doubt that if Lu Miao had truly disappeared, Gu Shiyan might tear him apart.

Shen Muhan hadn’t figured out how to respond yet when Lu Miao happened to finish packing and was about to leave the room, walking out from inside.

Seeing Gu Shiyan, Lu Miao’s expression suddenly changed. Shee quickly covered her nose and stepped back several steps.

Frowning, Lu Miao said, “I already warned you not to see him again; he smells bad. Don’t go back to Lingyue Manor; go straight to the apartment.”

Due to his cultivation, Lu Miao’s senses were much more sensitive than an ordinary person’s. After smelling something, the scents would be amplified several times, especially for things tainted with dark arts. Even if Gu Shiyan had taken a bath, others couldn’t smell anything, but the scent remained strong ana overwnummg to ner.

It was like he had directly dipped himself in a pool of stinking and rotten water.

Was he being kicked out of the house directly?

Helplessly, Gu Shiyan turned to the car and took out a box. After unwrapping three layers, a black wooden box was revealed.

“After your reminder yesterday, I prepared for today. That person came to see me again, and I wanted to see what she was up to, so I went along. According to her, someone asked her to smear something on my mouth, chest, and limbs.” Seeing the box, Lu Miao stepped back again in disgust.

Quickly, she took out a silver needle and pricked herself to temporarily close her sense of smell. Finally, she felt better.

On the side, Shen Muhan couldn’t help but be curious and reached out to take the black box from Gu Shiyan’s hand. He opened it and saw a tightly sealed small glass bottle inside. He shook it and brought it close to his nose to smell, but he couldn’t detect any foul odor. He wondered what it was that made Boss show such an expression.

Turning to Lu Miao, who had retreated to the living room at some point, Shen

Muhan asked, “Boss, what’s inside here?”

Lu Miao looked at him with mixed emotions and said straightforwardly, “Corpse oil.”

Shen Muhan looked puzzled, “What is corpse oil?”

“It’s a kind of dark art from T Country, made from refining corpses,” Lu Miao explained plainly.

“Oh, damn.”

Shen Muhan instantly cursed, realizing that he had just leaned in to smell it intentionally, and now he felt nauseous. He hurriedly stuffed the box back into Gu Shiyan’s hand, feeling as if he had been burned. He quickly retreated and was about to run back to Lu Miao when she stopped him, instructing both him and Gu Shiyan to stay outside.

“You intentionally made me take such a disgusting thing, Mr Gu,” Shen Muhan complained, his face turned sour.

Gu Shiyan thought about how Fang Wen wanted to smear this thing on him, including his mouth, and his expression grew even more unpleasant..
