Murder the Dream Guy

Chapter 336: Fanning the Flames

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

How many people could escape the law if they committed such a monstrous crime?

Was Meng Chi not afraid of death?

This was a legal society after all!

Xiang Wan looked at the twinkling light dot.

“Is he a fool? Even if he wanted to kill someone, shouldn’t he protect himself by getting someone else to do it? Why did he show up personally... or he didn’t want to live anymore?”

“This person definitely has a problem.” Bai Muchuan then paused for a while and smiled. “There’s a possibility that he might even have wanted to perish together with us.”

That’s surely a possibility!

Meng Chi was certainly an “unusual” lunatic.

For someone like Meng Chi, if he did something that astounds the world, Xiang Wan would not be surprised at all.

Xiang Wan agreed with him. “That was why I said you’re silly! You shouldn’t have come. You could just wait and avenge my death later...”

“... You’re the silly one. How could you curse yourself?”

When Xiang Wan finally untied the rope, she threw it aside and hugged Bai Muchuan from behind.

“I’m not afraid of death. But I don’t want you to die!”

Bai Muchuan felt warmth at his back.

He could feel the softness.

Bai Muchuan’s body suddenly felt stiff.

A long while later, he took Xiang Wan’s hands which wrapped around his waist and turned around to embrace her.

“Silly girl! You will be fine as I’m here with you. Don’t be afraid!”

“... Mm!” No matter if Xiang Wan was afraid or not, she was willing to believe him.

Bai Muchuan was as if taking care of something really precious to him. He lowered his head as he whispered into her ear, smiling as he coaxed her. His palm stroked her back as he tried to calm her nerves...

Finally, Xiang Wan’s heart could slowly be cured of the long period of tension she had been feeling.

Bit by bit, she started to calm down.

Even if she would die the next second, she was fine with leaving the world if she could embrace him like this.

It was something she should be able to accept?

“Thank you, Bai Muchuan!”

“... You silly!”

“I love you, Bai Muchuan!”

“... Me too.”

“I love you more!”

She was not sure if they still had a future together. Hence, she had to make full use of the time she had.

Xiang Wan was as though transformed into a woman, gentle as water as she leaned in Bai Muchuan’s arms. She spoke of her love as they embraced each other tightly...

“Why did I feel a little sad? Do you feel the same? This feels like what’s usually depicted in drama. Well, this experience... If I don’t die, I’ll write it in my novel! In the future when our children read the book, we can tell them, ‘look how romantic your dad and mom were back then’...”

“You won’t die!” Bai Muchuan stroked her face, and then suddenly lowered his head, his lips close to her ears as though he wanted to kiss her. But he asked her softly, “If I manage to find a way to let you escape alone, do you dare to do so?”

Xiang Wan felt her heart being clasped.

She did not move but gritted her teeth. “I don’t dare to!”

Bai Muchuan sighed. “It’s not scary...”

Xiang Wan shook her head, her head leaning on his shoulder. “It’s not that I’m afraid, I just don’t dare to! We’ve already promised each other that we would not let each other wait anymore. Although you’ve already gone back on your words once, I don’t dare to do the same...”

She was referring that he had left her alone at Wuming Village.

Bai Muchuan gave a bitter laugh. “Why?”

Xiang Wan lifted her head blinked her eyes. “I don’t want to break my promise!”

Bai Muchuan was defeated. “Fine, my heroine!”

Although the word “heroine” was said in a teasing way, Xiang Wan had thought of Meng Chi’s words.

“No, we’re not heroes! We’re just ordinary people... Ordinary. We are just people who love this world and wants to be loved.”

As Xiang Wan said so, she tightened her grip around his waist. Her breathing was fast, and she sounded resolute. “Dead or alive, I want to be with you!”

“...”

After a while, Bai Muchuan smiled and patted her head.

“Darling, don’t be so serious, alright?”

“...” Xiang Wan finally lifted her head from his arms, her eyes were as though shining brightly. “Do you think of this as child’s play? How can I not treat this seriously?”

“Of course not.” The corners of Bai Muchuan’s lips quirked up. He lifted Xiang Wan’s chin and planted a kiss on her lips. “You should have confidence in me... how can I dare to die when you’re still alive. So, I’ll think of a way to get you out first, alright?”

“Hmm... No...”

The moment Xiang Wan wanted to refuse, he would kiss her deeper.

“Promise me okay?”

Xiang Wan shook her head. “No... Hmm...”

“Idiot!” Bai Muchuan chided her and kissed her as well.

One hot kiss came after another, hot and passionate.

Xiang Wan looked at Bai Muchuan’s face which was very close to her, with her eyes wide-opened. She felt that the Bai Muchuan at this moment...

Could he be possessed by the devil or something?

She tried to squeeze out some words amidst the kisses. “... There’s a camera... Hmm... Someone is looking...”

“I know that!” Bai Muchuan did not seem to mind that. His thumb stroked her chin, his eyes looked deep into hers. “Since someone likes to watch it, we’ll satisfy his wish. This is considered good karma, right?”

“...” Xiang Wan’s lips were now red as she looked at him as though in a daze.

Bai Muchuan’s thoughts were hard to read. She didn’t know if this was one of his plans?

“Don’t look at me like this, okay?” Bai Muchuan drew close to her lips and let out a chuckle. “I won’t be able to tolerate... If there’s a reaction, you won’t want me to lose face, right?”

“... Hey! You like to be mischievous so as to keep yourself happy?” Xiang Wan raised an eyebrow.

They were in the enemy’s hands and the enemy was spying on them!

“... Of course! My little brother couldn’t tolerate and is mischievous, what should I do?” Bai Muchuan smiled and brushed a finger at the tip of her nose dotingly as he bantered with her. It felt as though he was taking his girlfriend for a walk in a park...

Xiang Wan took her hats off to him.

“I suddenly want to know how you would look like the moment before you die?

“... Well, then you’re going to grow old with me!” Bai Muchuan teased her.

Xiang Wan was completely amused. The remaining fear in her was now gone.

“If you continue blabbering on, I don’t think we can get a chance to grow white hair together but might leave the world together... Tell me seriously, what do you think is the percentage of us surviving this?”

Bai Muchuan: “A hundred percent!”

Xiang Wan looked at him with doubt from the corner of her eye. “...”

“You don’t believe me!?” Bai Muchuan replied as a matter-of-factly, “Before I came here, I got Zhan Yuan to do a reading for us!”

“...”

“He said both of us can live till 88 years old! We’ll have a son and daughter to send us on our last journey in our funeral!”

Pffft! Xiang Wan giggled and hit him on his chest with her fist. “Just continue to play the fool... You really asked Zhan Yuan for a reading?”

“It’s true!” Bai Muchuan did not seem to be lying. He had a serious expression as he explained to her, “He happened to give me a call earlier where I took the opportunity to get a reading from him as he owed us a reading the last time... Well, it’s also a blessing for him to tell me now as it makes me feel confident!”

Could confidence be built by just a reading?

Xiang Wan rolled her eyes. “So, you’re telling me this is the source of your confidence?”

“Otherwise?” Bai Muchuan asked her back, looking innocent.

Xiang Wan felt like hitting him.

However, with a Bai Muchuan like this beside her, if she had to die, she thought she would most likely die of laughter.

The smile on Xiang Wan’s face couldn’t be concealed anymore. She rested her forehead on his shoulder where her shoulders were as though twitching.

“88 years old huh? I wonder how old we will look like then...”

“No matter how old, you’ll still be my little darling!” Bai Muchuan shamelessly coaxed her with sweet, honeyed words without qualms. He totally ignored the fact that the nunnery was filled with explosives. He behaved as though he was relaxing by the sea in the Maldives, enjoying the sunshine as well as showing off his happiness.

Xiang Wan shook her head in laughter. “It’s just like what the saying goes: if you’re thinking of sand, everywhere is Maldives...”

“What are you talking about?” Bai Muchuan touched her forehead. “Well, you’re not having a fever, don’t scare me!”

“... Nah, you’re the one who’s having a fever!” Xiang Wan slapped his hand.

“Hey, you got it!” Bai Muchuan caught her hand and held it in his palm. “In this moment... it’s certainly hot...”

Beep!

While the two of them were talking, the lights suddenly went out.

The power got cut!? Xiang Wan looked around the place.

Then, she heard Meng Chi’s voice. “Both of you seemed to have a good chat! It’s time to get down to business!”

Business? By switching off the lights in the pitch-dark room, what could he do?

Xiang Wan felt the creeps.

At this time, a projection image appeared suddenly on the wall.

It was not a movie film!

It was not showing a drama, either!

It was a real-time projection of the blog post that Meng Chi had created!

She squinted at the sudden image projection before looking at the source—the projector was on the opposite wall.

Earlier on when she examined the room, she was sure that she did not see a projector on the wall at all...

This room could really have been built using high technology?

Bai Muchuan laughed. “... Hur, this room is sure interesting!”

Xiang Wan held his hand tightly. “This man has a lot of tricks up his sleeve...”

The two of them talked softly amongst themselves.

Meng Chi’s voice came from above again. “This is not a trick. In fact, it’s very close to life! Do take a serious look at it?”

Xiang Wan glanced at Bai Muchuan. When she saw that he was staring at the projection screen, she followed to do the same.

...

She was now famous!

Meng Chi was right!

His post went viral on the internet in less than an hour’s time.

It took the headlines!

There were also three instances of the blog post being deleted thrice—

... All topics that were related to this post came to the surface.

The netizens were almost unanimous in demanding that the murderer be severely punished.

Of course, Xiang Wan’s “Murder The Dream Guy” once again, became a hot topic of discussion!

It was just that this time, there was an overwhelming amount of malicious remarks.

All the various kinds of social news that Xiang Wan had once read on the internet, all those abusive comments that she had seen, at this moment, all these were being “crowned” on her, ironically.

Every such comment seemed to curdle her blood!

In the past when she was the onlooker, she was unable to feel the power of such remarks. Now that she felt it for herself, every inch of her skin seemed to turn cold...

Especially now that, this time, Bai Muchuan was also being abused online together with her.

He, Bai Muchuan, was once known as the great detective on the Internet...

Meng Chi publicized his relationship with Xiang Wan on the Internet, including posting pictures of him cuddling with Xiang Wan after he entered the room as proof that they were really a couple!

Very good! Now that Meng Chi had added color to the hot topic, it would certainly attract more eyeballs!

Of course, if he named the title of the post as “The Hero Saved a Beauty”, it would have generated positive effects...

But alas, Meng Chi had written in the post about how Bai Muchuan made use of his background and connections to transfer from Jin City to the Capital; dumped his ex-girlfriend of a few years; and abused his authority in order to save his new lover which caused numerous innocent parties to die at Vulture’s Mouth.
