Chapter 47: You two siblings, why don't you have a chat?

Just before she lost consciousness, Su Zhenzhen vaguely heard the First Madam muttering to herself.

"You are the ones who have wronged me."

Hmm? Su Zhenzhen was left with only two thoughts.

Firstly, I never expected that the First Madam would be so cunning, actually having someone drug her.

Secondly, could this guy have also recognized Hensheng's identity? That shouldn't be the case.

When Su Zhenzhen regained consciousness, she was in a toilet called "Shefang," where an old woman on the ceiling was smiling at her.

Su Zhenzhen was absolutely certain that she was dreaming, because there were no comments in her mind.

Su Zhenzhen forced herself to wake up, but for some reason she couldn't concentrate her mental energy.

After staring at the old lady on the ceiling for about half an hour, Su Zhenzhen was about to go crazy.

This scene is really weird, isn't it?

Su Zhenzhen wasn't in a hurry about the others; if her throat was slit, she could simply go back to the 906th century.

But if Hensheng's true identity is discovered, who knows if this Madam Huo is the second Old Madam Xu? If he dies, then we're truly doomed.

The more worried Su Zhenzhen was, the less she could concentrate.

"I'm telling you, just give me a straight answer!" Su Zhenzhen laid her cards on the table.

Almost the instant the words fell, the old woman on the ceiling jumped down and lay on Su Zhenzhen's back, greedily sucking.

Su Zhenzhen felt like she was getting goosebumps all over; it was just too disgusting.

Not only that, the old woman's hair was also tangled around him, and he didn't know if it was his imagination, but the hair was getting tangled tighter and tighter.

Su Zhenzhen felt like she was suffocating, experiencing waves of dizziness as the scenery before her eyes shifted, making her feel as if she were in the underworld.

Seriously? It died so quickly?

Su Zhenzhen sat down at her workstation with her head down. Sigh, she only managed to generate 11 sales figures after participating in the cross-time and space live stream. There was no way to make up for it this time.

"Tap tap tap." The sound of sky-high heels stepping on the marble slab was crisp.

Su Zhenzhen immediately shrank her neck like a quail.

"Su Zhenzhen." A mature, older woman's voice rang out from above.

Su Zhenzhen timidly looked up and saw that her supervisor, Sister Chao, was still as cool and beautiful as ever, but she didn't seem as fierce anymore.

Su Zhenzhen honestly confessed what happened after participating in the cross-time and space live broadcast, "Sister Chao, it's all my fault for being too careless. I knew that Madam Huo had a problem, but I still dared to be greedy and eat her food."

Chao Jie poked Su Zhenzhen's forehead with exasperation, "You've encountered a demon! What am I supposed to say to you? Who do you even know?"

What's his/her identity? He/She's an intern at the 906 Century Underworld Partners.

"Didn't I tell you that our profession, to put it simply, is that of underworld messengers? But you are different; you are a ghost messenger."

Su Zhenzhen was confused. "What's the difference?"

As soon as she spoke, Su Zhenzhen suddenly remembered that she had asked the same question when she was very young.

At that time, the person who answered me was the boss of the underworld partner.

"Underworld messengers can only ferry souls; to put it bluntly, they're like cattle and horses. But ghost messengers, truly, you were born for this job; every ghost is afraid of you."

"Boom—" In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Su Zhenzhen, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

That damned old woman was still clinging to his back, her hair tightly wrapped around his neck.

"What the hell? You dare to mess with me?" Su Zhenzhen suddenly felt a surge of power and grabbed the old lady's hair, pulling her down from behind.

With a "thud," Su Zhenzhen slammed the old lady into the ceiling, so hard that she couldn't be pried out.

Su Zhenzhen woke up and met Huo Mama's surprised eyes. She swept her leg and knocked her down. When she got up, she saw that Hensheng was still unconscious beside her.

Su Zhenzhen used the most primitive method: she pried open Hensheng's eyes and shone a strong flashlight on him. Sure enough, he woke up after a short while.

The comments section was filled with lamentations.

[Female lead, be gentler with the male lead! Do you know that old woman just tried to cut off your faces?]

Mrs. Huo, who was outside, came in after hearing the noise.

Su Zhenzhen spotted the large spider crawling on the back of her hand at a glance.

The Underworld Partners has various magazine-like ancient books, and I vaguely remember there was such an interesting anecdote in one of them.

Legend has it that there was once a lazy man who couldn't find a wife. He saw a spider laying eggs under the eaves and, in a moment of lust, mated with it. The spider then gave birth to a daughter, but the villagers considered the child a monster and burned her to death.

Who knew that the spider had become a spirit? The girl inherited part of her mother's cultivation, her soul cultivated on its own, and finally lived in the world with the appearance of a human and the form of a spider.

These monsters are called Pearl Maidens. Pearl Maidens maintain their cultivation by relying on their youthful and beautiful appearance. Because Pearl Maidens have no parents since childhood, they especially crave family affection. They often disguise themselves as orphans to find adoptive parents, and after their adoptive parents die, they go to find new parents.

"I always thought that Zhu Nu couldn't have children. I never expected that not only could she have children, but the children she gave birth to were just like normal people."

The moment Su Zhenzhen finished speaking, Madam Huo knew that all her secrets had been exposed.

"You do have some skill."

When Granny Huo on the ground tried to get up, Su Zhenzhen simply kicked her again, and sure enough, she couldn't move anymore.

Alright, you should just rest.

Su Zhenzhen took out a lighter, lit it, and held it to Madam Huo's hand.

The large spider paced back and forth restlessly.

Insects, what insect isn't afraid of fire?

Although Madam Huo did not know what the strange thing in Su Zhenzhen's hand was, she was certain that it could produce fire.

Moreover, his mother seemed quite afraid of this small cluster of flames.

If Su Zhenzhen knew what Madam Huo was thinking, she would definitely say something.

Of course, the temperature of a lighter is incomparable to that of ordinary firewood in ancient times.

"What exactly do you want?"

Su Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow. That was interesting. "Shouldn't I be asking you what you want to do? General Huo Zhenyue is your elder brother, isn't he? Why did you kill Master Zhu?"

With each of these three questions, Mrs. Huo's expression grew increasingly grim, eventually culminating in a single sentence.

"What's it to you? I had no intention of harming you. Who told you to barge into the brothel?"

Without further ado, Su Zhenzhen released General Huo from the storage compartment.

The giant spider lost its footing and nearly fell off Mrs. Huo's hand.

These kinds of spirits can only scare ordinary people. Under the Ghost General's righteous aura and murderous aura after killing the enemy, they can only play the fool.

Looking at the ghost that had suddenly appeared before her, Madam Huo hesitated and asked, "Are you Huo Zhenyue?"

General Huo nodded, then looked at Su Zhenzhen with an uncertain tone, "She's my sister?"

Su Zhenzhen pouted, "Why don't you two siblings chat?"

General Huo didn't know what to say. There weren't many women in the military camp, and even if there were, as the commander-in-chief, he wouldn't have had time to interact with them. Su Zhenzhen was arguably the woman he had the most contact with, both in life and after death.
