Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Seeing Xing unleash his ultimate move, Zhu Ganglie also became extremely focused.

He knew that if he couldn't block this attack, he might be doomed tonight.

He poured all his demonic power into the rake without reservation, and the remaining eight fangs lit up with a ghostly blue light.

"Flame Spear Charge!" Cun Huxing didn't give him a chance to fight back.

She flanked from the side, her lance accurately blocking the long handle of the rake, the flames burning on the spear making Pigsy's mouth numb.

The rake's momentum was abruptly cut off, leaving Pigsy's defenses wide open.

Destroyer Star did not waste this opportunity.

She transformed into a blue afterimage, her baseball bat tracing a sharp arc in the air before striking Zhu Ganglie's enormous head with a resounding thud.

A dull thud echoed through the backyard. Zhu Ganglie's massive body swayed twice, his nine-toothed rake slipped from his hand and crashed to the ground. He wobbled and spun around twice before finally collapsing backward with a thud.

Xing put away his bat and looked at Zhu Ganglie, who was lying motionless on the ground.

She poked his head with a baseball bat; his pig ears bounced, but he didn't wake up.

"He fainted, what should we do next?"

Lu Ze shrugged: "What else can we do but call someone to come and move it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the small building. Then a slender figure rushed over, spread her arms to block Zhu Ganglie, and faced Lu Ze and the other two, panting heavily.

She was a young woman with delicate features, dressed in a plain-colored dress, her hair slightly disheveled, and tear stains at the corners of her eyes.

She looked directly at Lu Ze, her voice trembling but unusually firm.

"Please, please don't hurt my husband! He really hasn't done anything wrong!"

The person who came was Gao Cuilan.

Lu Ze was stunned for a moment. Xing was also stunned.

Just then, Zhu Ganglie on the ground let out a painful groan and slowly opened his eyes.

His pig-like face was etched with exhaustion, and his voice was weak, as if all his strength had been drained away:

"Cui...Lan..."

"Husband!" Gao Cuilan immediately knelt down, took his arm, and her eyes were red.

Zhu Ganglie gasped for breath, seemingly still struggling against the remnants of the destructive power that had invaded his body.

He struggled to lift his head, glanced at Lu Ze, then at Gao Cuilan who was blocking his way, and his lips moved.

"I...I'm fine."

Gao Cuilan's tears fell instantly.

The two embraced, one sitting weakly on the ground, the other kneeling beside her with tears streaming down her face. The scene was both tragic and heartwarming.

Lu Ze, Xing, and Huo Hua stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Xing's expression became subtle. She leaned close to Lu Ze's ear and whispered, "...Why do I feel like we're the bad guys?"

Luze did not answer, because he was also thinking about the same question.

This is not quite the same as the plot he remembered.

Lu Ze paused for a moment, then stepped forward, trying to make his tone sound as calm as possible.

"Miss Gao, I have a question for you—did you marry him willingly?"

Gao Cuilan raised her head and answered without hesitation, "Yes."

"He locked you in that small building, did you ever hate him?"

"He locked me up because he was afraid that my father would force me to remarry while he was away."

Gao Cuilan's voice was slightly choked, but her tone was firm.

"Every time he came, he would bring me delicious food and talk to me. He never forced me to do anything. Although he was not good-looking, he was sincere towards me."

After listening, Lu Ze let out a long sigh of relief.

understood.

The couple is in love, but the father-in-law thinks his son-in-law is a monster.

Zhu Ganglie locked up Gao Cuilan because he was afraid his father-in-law would send her away while he was away. Gao Cuilan didn't feel like she was being imprisoned; at most, she felt that the couple was being forced apart by their parents and had no choice but to resort to this drastic measure.

What a blunder!
