There was no reaction, which was as it should be.
When they had money, Hao Yumei personally oversaw the renovation. In fact, unlike other families, she didn't keep a close eye on the workers. Instead, she entertained them frequently, offering them cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and water.
Even the workers said they weren't working for her, but were enjoying a vacation.
Regarding the renovation, they recommended to her what materials were durable and which would yield the best results; their work was absolutely dedicated, with high-level construction everywhere.
Therefore, the soundproofing effect was excellent.
Aside from the crackling sounds from the door gaps, no other noise from outside could be heard.
As a result, Bai Suxiang's cries, however hoarse, went unheard by Hao Yumei, despite being separated only by a wall.
The outside grew hotter. Bai Suxiang, with a rudimentary knowledge of fire safety, immediately dampened a towel with water, covered her nose and mouth, and crouched on the ground, dialing for help.
However, the phone line was busy, and she couldn't get through.
Bai Suxiang guessed that Hao Yumei must be on the phone and didn't persist with her own call.
But after a long time, apart from the sound of the burning door banging, there was no other noise.
The windows were impossible to exit, she had already checked.
If she waited any longer, she might die here. In her panic, she remembered Liu Sandao's words: "If you encounter danger, crush it!"
Bai Suxiang immediately found the bracelet on her right hand. It still emitted a green light in the darkness, looking exceptionally beautiful.
She pinched it hard between her thumb and index finger, and with a crisp "snap!"
A "bead" instantly shattered, releasing a small amount of water, which was wet.
Liu Sandao arrived. "Let's go! I'll get you out!"
"Why did you take so long! If you had been any later..."
In fact, Liu Sandao felt a bit annoyed even without Bai Suxiang's complaint.
He had followed the two spirits through a maze of winding paths, not to mention having to eavesdrop on their conversation from a distance.
Because it was night, he couldn't get too close, and the view from afar was blurry. A figure resembling the one who had come earlier was lecturing them.
"Tell me your plan in detail. I want the truth!"
"Yes! Master! I'll tell you!"
Number Seven replied respectfully.
At this moment, Number Five objected and suddenly interjected, "Why should you report? I was involved too, why can't I report?"
"You're not worthy!"
"Who are you calling unworthy? Do you want to fight? I'm not afraid of you!" Number Five retorted defiantly.
The dark figure said nothing, seemingly letting them quarrel.
The two not only argued but also started shoving each other. At this moment, "the one who had come" turned his head slightly, watching their scuffle.
No, it turned out he wasn't the one who had come at all.
The one who had come loved cigars. If it were him, he would be leisurely lighting one now, waiting for the show.
Liu Sandao suddenly realized he might have fallen for a diversion tactic. Just as he was contemplating retreating, "snap!"
A bead on the bracelet he was wearing also shattered. He had deliberately made a connected bead bracelet.
Using a secret technique from the Ruo Shui Fu, he had made the water droplets' fates intertwined through talismans. To explain it with current scientific understanding, it was quantum entanglement.
As long as one broke, the corresponding one would break simultaneously.
Instantly arriving beside Bai Suxiang, Liu Sandao immediately prepared to cast a spell to extinguish the fire in front of the door, but he was suppressed by a powerful force, as if a giant net had been cast over the outside.
"I'll get you out first!"
As Liu Sandao cast his spell, he brought Bai Suxiang out through the window.
Only by moving away from the fire could the situation outside be seen clearly.
"First, save Hao Yumei and the children. They are in the master bedroom, next to my room!" Bai Suxiang said urgently.
Liu Sandao was an immortal; he would surely have a way, at least more effective than the firefighters.
"Alright! I'll cast the spell now!"
As Liu Sandao moved away, he immediately looked back at where they had come from.
"Stop! Na Qianlai, you have committed countless wicked deeds and harmed lives. Aren't you afraid of heavenly punishment?"
At this moment, four or five celestial beings of various sizes flew in from afar.
The reason he knew they were celestials was that their attire was roughly similar to that of Li Langqing's guardian deity.
The one leading them had a large character "Hao" written on his waist token. Bai Suxiang recognized him at a glance as Hao Yumei's guardian deity.
With him here, Hao Yumei should be safe, Bai Suxiang prayed silently.
"Hahaha, you mere pawns, do you think you can stop me?"
Na Qianlai laughed contemptuously.
Let alone the countless lucky fruits he had refined, even before refining them, his strength was more than enough to deal with them.
At this time, many people had gathered outside the building. There were onlookers and several fire trucks.
As long as the fire could be put out, rescuing people would not be a problem.
But how could Na Qianlai let them succeed?
He cast a spell towards the house, and black smoke filled the entire villa. The place Liu Sandao had just wanted to extinguish the fire was now sealed by a barrier created by Na Qianlai's magic, which ordinary magic could not break.
The guardian deity who arrived had weak magic power and was blocked by Na Qianlai's flock of crows more than a hundred meters high in the sky, unable to approach for rescue before he could even make a move.
"Na Qianlai, you dare to be so arrogant!" Liu Sandao said sternly.
"Oh ho! Liu Sandao, I didn't have time to deal with you last time. This time, you can prepare to die along with them!"
Seeing Liu Sandao standing before him, Na Qianlai sneered and said.
Although Liu Sandao's strength had improved since their last encounter, Na Qianlai had secluded himself and refined many more lucky fruits this time, making him much stronger than before.
He cast a spell towards the fire with one hand, and with the other, he drew a circle and launched an attack at Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao immediately dodged to the side and fled into the distance.
He did this in hopes of dispersing Na Qianlai's attack from a distance.
Otherwise, Bai Suxiang would be in danger.
"Not good, Hao Yumei is in danger! She might not be able to hold on!" Hao Yumei's guardian deity shouted.
The other minor deities who followed could only exclaim, "Oh dear, what can be done!" with no solution in sight.
Liu Sandao's Lucky Fruit Manual vibrated. He quickly opened it.
Hao Yumei's name was at the very top, flickering in and out of existence. This was not a good sign. She was an eight-star person, and her foundation of virtue should be continuously strong.
But under Na Qianlai's control, her life was in peril.
Na Qianlai's strength had significantly increased this time. Without needing to use the life-claiming technique, he could subtly draw out the lucky fruits from Hao Yumei.
Liu Sandao looked intently and saw that Hao Yumei was covered in lucky fruits all over her body, as if she were a fruit tree.
Na Qianlai was overjoyed. This was the benefit of refining lucky fruits; his cultivation had indeed greatly increased!
"Give them to me! They are all mine!"
