Chapter 1783: Chapter 1783: You Really Are a Jinx
It’s all his fault!
Wu Changcai had just been in a drowsy stupor and hadn’t recognized Wu Lingxi’s voice, but now, at the sound of “Changcai,” and seeing Wu Lingxi’s face right before him, he initially froze in shock before he realized it was Wu Lingxi.
Confused as to why Wu Lingxi was also there, he hadn’t even started to ask when Wu Lingxi pounced on him, scratching and clawing at him fiercely.
A few scratches on his face hurt him terribly. He immediately waved his hand and with a kick, pushed Wu Lingxi to the side.
“Ugh…” Wu Lingxi, already bleeding, was kicked in the stomach, and she vomited a mouthful of blood, collapsing there, unable to get up for a long time.
Only then did Wu Changcai notice the blood on the ground, and seeing Wu Lingxi unable to rise, he feared she might die and the local authorities would hold him responsible, demanding his life in exchange. After all, a life for a life. Naturally, he was scared, trembling as he asked, “Are you alright? Why are you here?”
Without waiting for Wu Lingxi to speak, Wu Changcai added, “You really are a jinx. I’ve already been harmed by you, and yet we still run into each other.”
Ever since he was captured by Xue Shi’s men, the money he had stolen was confiscated. Although they later released him, his family refused to take him back, claiming he was nothing but trouble. If he returned, he would only continue to engage in deceit and trickery. Penniless, he had no choice but to seek temporary shelter in this dilapidated temple.
Little did he know that he would run into Wu Lingxi.
“It’s you who harmed me, not the other way around!” Wu Lingxi, infuriated beyond measure, suddenly found the strength to stand. She lunged at Wu Changcai again.
After the scuffle, Wu Lingxi’s hair was a mess, making her look even more like a madwoman.
“You’re crazy!” Wu Changcai quickly dodged, climbing to his feet. “Play by yourself; I want nothing more to do with you. Everyone knows you’ve offended those young princes from the Xue family. I’m leaving!” With those words, he strode towards the exit.

But Wu Lingxi picked up a wooden stick from the side and swung at Wu Changcai. Damned be he, she had miscarried; the child was his, and he didn’t even bother to check on her, yet he was trying to leave!
She was ready to fight him to the end!
Before Wu Changcai could reach the temple’s exit, he saw Wu Lingxi swinging the stick at him, and he dodged even more swiftly, cursing, “You’ve gone mad!”
Undeterred, Wu Lingxi, with bloodshot eyes, staggered after Wu Changcai around the temple, causing him to hastily take cover behind a Buddha statue covered in cobwebs.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t overpower Wu Lingxi, but she looked ferocious with a pale face, seemingly on the verge of collapsing, and he feared a fatality.
At that moment, Wu Lingxi, consumed by rage, aimed to pummel Wu Changcai as an outlet for her fury. However, she accidentally stepped on her own skirt and tumbled forward, stick in hand, and her forehead struck the broken altar in front of the Buddha statue.
Thud.
Almost instantly, she stopped breathing.
Then, she slid down from the altar onto the ground, her eyes still wide open in a deathly glare, fixated on Wu Changcai.
Chilling Wu Changcai to the bone.
Wu Changcai, trembling, walked over and checked for her breath, only to find that Wu Lingxi was indeed dead. He immediately began to retreat in fear, eventually collapsing to the ground.
He wanted to run.
Yet he feared that if the local authorities found a body here and suspected him, his fleeing would look no different from escaping a crime. Wouldn’t that prompt the authorities to seek his life even more? But he hadn’t done anything to Wu Lingxi; she had gone mad, chasing and attacking him, then accidentally hitting her head. It had nothing to do with him…
