The noise of the water stirred up chaos and screams in the bathroom .

Jiang Chen, after forcing himself to exert the Great Method of Void, passed out again . The last thing he saw was water splashing .

When he had woken up, he found himself tightly tied and blindfolded .

He wanted to observe the surroundings with his holy awareness, but he only felt tingling in his brain .

“It’s not gonna work . You can use your holy awareness here . The rope tying you can be used to tie immortal armor . It also has a spiritual seal on it . Even Venerable Sovereigns can’t get rid of it quickly if tied by it . ”

“The cloth on your eyes not only can obscure your vision but also can block your holy awareness . ”

“At least I still can hear such a beautiful voice . ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen tilted his head towards where the voice came from .

If he could see, he would find himself in a room .

The teenage girl in the bath was wearing a bathrobe, her hair still wet .

Her maid was standing at the door, looking out from time to time, very nervous .

Jiang Chen’s answer was evidently unexpected for the teenage girl .

After adjusting her facial expression, the girl said sternly, “Who are you? Why are you in my house?”

“I was being chased . I had to exert an Escaping Method of the Nether despite my injuries, so I failed to detect directions . That’s how I ended up in your room . ”

“How about this? You tell me where the door is, and I will leave with my eyes closed?” said Jiang Chen .

Then he immediately felt something cold against his neck and a light tingle .

He knew a sharp weapon had been held against his throat .

“Are you trying to be funny? Or you are a naturally funny guy?” asked the girl out of curiosity .

“Many people think I’m a dull person, a stickler for the rules, but somehow, I do regard myself as a funny guy,” said Jiang Chen seriously .

The maid at the door warned her nervously .

The girl came to herself, and the dagger sharp enough to cut a throat open instantly fell onto the ground .

A light bloody line showed up on Jiang Chen’s neck .

“I’ve never killed anyone, but my sister told me it was just a matter of time . A playboy like you is great for me to start with . ” The girl intentionally put on a murderous face, but then she realized Jiang Chen could not see it anyway, so she was annoyed .

“Playboy? Why did you say that?” asked Jiang Chen .

“Huh, you fled in any path you could without heeding which you chose, and you happened to intrude into my room? My house is deployed with a ward of the highest security level . ”

It turned out the girl did not believe what he had said .

“Alas, it happens every time . No one believes me when I’m telling the truth . However, when I lie, many will believe . ” Shaking his head, Jiang Chen seemed to be bothered .

The girl burst out laughing, but she held the laughter very soon . She placed the dagger against Jiang Chen’s chin .

“You offended me anyway . Just give me one reason that I shouldn’t kill you,” the girl said .

“Well, I’ll tell you a secret . How does that sound?” said Jiang Chen .

He piqued curiosity in the girl . She wondered what kind of story this interesting guy would tell .

“The rope tying me is called Trapping Dragon Cable . It’s made of a hard material and has a spiritual seal . The spiritual seal is the key . ”

“It’s such a coincidence that I happen to know how to tackle the spiritual seal . ”

Before he finished speaking, the rope suddenly fell off Jiang Chen’s body .

Free again, Jiang Chen grasped the girl’s wrist . He stood up and moved behind her so that she could not move at will .

Jiang Chen took the cloth off, covering his eyes while speaking .

When he had seen everything in the room, he let go of the girl and gave the dagger back to her .

“What does that mean?” The girl did not take the dagger . She looked startled .

“This is your room . I guess you’ve got many strong people in your house . You didn’t hand me in because you are a good person . ”

Jiang Chen said with a small smile, “This is just a misunderstanding . We could be kinder to each other, you know . ”

“Huh, maybe I’m just going to torture you so that I can take delight in your tragic screams . ”

The girl stomped her feet . She was somehow pissed .

“I’ve never seen anyone who wants others to believe she is a bad person . ”

Gazing at the pretty girl’s fair skin and her beautiful face with two dimples, Jiang Chen was somehow in a good mood .

“Well, now you can tell me where the door is,” Jiang Chen reminded her .

“Don’t you know some Escaping Method of the Nether?” The girl felt complacent, thinking she had found the hole in his story .

“I told you, I’m injured,” Jiang Chen said helplessly .

“But, I do not see any wounds on you . ” The girl still did not believe him .

“Well, not all injuries are visible . Some injuries are deeper than others . For example, it really hurts my feelings that a pretty lady doesn’t trust me . ”

“You are silver-tongued . ”

Seeing him not threaten her, the girl finally took the dagger . She gave him a silk handkerchief . “Wipe off the blood . Don’t stain my carpet . ”

Jiang Chen took the handkerchief . Smelling a sweet scent that especially belonged to girls, he said with a smile, “You are good-hearted, but why did you pretend you are a cruel person?”

“Do you know me well? My sister told me it’s important to be cruel . This is the only way to make others scared of you . ”

Jiang Chen wiped the blood off his neck . Then something occurred to him, and he released his holy awareness .

The girl hurried to stop him . She realized what he was doing from his look .

But it was still too late . He released his holy awareness to investigate the terrain .

However, as soon as it was released, it rocked and then was absorbed by something .

“You always consider you are right! I told you my house is deployed with a ward! Now my sister and my father must have learned you are here!”

Then they heard rushing footsteps coming from the corridor out of the room .

“Remember my name, Ye Sizhu . What’s your name? Tell others you are my friend later . Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble,” the girl said immediately .

“Jiang Chen . Okay, so I’ll introduce you as Chen… Wait a sec . You are called Jiang Chen?”

The girl spoke very fast . Then something occurred to her . She looked at Jiang Chen’s face right away .

Her eyes were more and more widely open . In the end, she ran into the bathroom . She came out with a book in her hand . She flipped to the last page .

There was a picture of some person .

The girl took a look at the picture and then another look at Jiang Chen . She seemed to be puzzled .

Jiang Chen happened to see the cover and the book title: The Grotesque: Jiang Chen .

And there was a brief introduction on the cover: Shock! The shocking secret of how a man from a declining Planes’ World rose to the top!

They all fell into silence!

Tilting his head, Jiang Chen scratched his face, embarrassed .

The girl confirmed Jiang Chen’s identity through the picture . She was pleasantly surprised . She came up to him and put her hands on Jiang Chen’s shoulders involuntarily .

Coincidentally, the door was pushed open from outside . A few people were standing there, petrified by what they saw .

“Sizhu! What’s going on here?!”

A pretty woman raised her eyebrow . She walked into the room in anger .

Her look was as sharp as a knife as if it could kill people .

And the target of it was naturally Jiang Chen, who looked completely innocent at the moment .
