Chapter 596

Besides his own considerable abilities, he was also fortunate to have met Steward Song and received his help.

Butler Song looked at the old Taoist priest and smiled kindly, clearly still remembering him. "Little Six, you're so old now."

The old Taoist priest smiled wryly, "Yes, time waits for no one."

Old Butler Song: "It's alright, I'm old too."

The old Taoist priest: "..." You haven't changed at all!

"Uncle Song, what's wrong?"

The old Taoist priest wanted to ask the ghost god what he wanted to do, but he dared not face the terrifying deity directly, and spoke with great caution.

Butler Song waved his hand with a smile, "It's nothing, you don't need to be so nervous. Today, the master was just worried that the young mistress would be bored at home, so he took her out for a stroll."

Don't be nervous. Old Taoist: "..." I can't do it, I really can't.

And what does it mean to be fine?

If the spirits and gods want to come out, is that considered a good thing?

Wait, shouldn't the ghosts and spirits still be asleep today?

He won't wake up until tomorrow, will he?

Holy crap, which ghost or deity is going to appear today?

It can't be...

The old Taoist priest is going crazy.

Compared to those who have never been inside the old house, he, who has been inside, understands better how terrifying the evil power emanating from ghosts and spirits can be.

If this were to come out, wouldn't it destroy the world?

We can't come out!

However, this was not something he could decide.

The old Taoist priest could only look at Steward Song with a deathly pale face and a look of utter despair.

Butler Song was still smiling. "Alright, you should pack up and leave now. Don't frighten the young mistress later."

The old Taoist priest: "..."

Can he say no?

It doesn't seem like it will work!

Butler Song may seem good-natured, but that's just how he is. He's been the right-hand man by my side since the time of ghosts and gods or even the time of the human emperor. He's been through countless disasters and is a powerful figure that all the ghosts in the old house respect. How could he possibly be easy to talk to?

Asking them to leave is a notification, not a request. They have no room for objection. Otherwise, if we try to persuade them politely first and then resort to force, the consequences would be unbearable for them.

The old Taoist priest understood the situation, but he also felt powerless.

Despite the excruciating pain in his head, which felt like it was about to split open, the captain of the special official department resolutely looked up at Steward Song and asked in a deep voice:

“Mr. Song, I am very offended, but I must be responsible for the tens of millions of people in Chaoge City behind me. Will the appearance of that person affect the lives of ordinary people, or even affect the entire human world?”

Butler Song glanced at him, and when his muscles were tense to the extreme, he smiled kindly and said, "I said, you are just accompanying your wife on a trip. She is kind and gentle by nature, and you will not allow anything that might frighten her to happen."

team leader:"……"

The old Taoist priest: "..."

Kind and gentle? Is that what they mean?

But, could someone who exists in an old house and becomes that person's young mistress really be kind and gentle?

Wen Xin expressed her strong dissatisfaction: Why can't it be done?

Her true nature is gentle and kind!

Xiao Jin: Uh...

Does the master's gentleness and kindness mean treating the most terrifying deities and the most evil personalities they speak of as big dogs to be tamed?

She's just so incredibly gentle and kind!

The captain cautiously inquired, "And who is the young mistress?"

Butler Song: "How dare you or I address the young mistress by her maiden name?"

team leader:"……"

Aren't names meant to be called?

Well, it is said that there were many rules in ancient times, with a strict hierarchy, not to mention the wives of gods.

But he swore he really didn't mean any offense.

As everyone grew even more uneasy, Old Steward Song chuckled and shook his head, saying patiently, "There's no need to be so paranoid. If the master really wanted to do something, he wouldn't have let me explain to you all here so gently. He just didn't want to cause any trouble for the young mistress's trip and spoil her mood."

"Last month, on the fifteenth of the month, the Ghost Festival, merchants and newlyweds, understand?"

Those present were all prominent figures among the special individuals in the human realm; none of them were fools, and they were well aware of the movements of the four major families of Chaoge.

However, the four great families were once closely connected and powerful, and they also stole the protection of the gods and spirits. When they fought each other, they would only end up losing to each other.

The human realm is not peaceful either, and even if they know that merchants are committing evil deeds, they cannot interfere at will.

However, who could have imagined that the little girl whom the merchant raised to be a scapegoat would be favored by the gods and become the young lady whom even someone as respectful as Old Steward Song would treat with utmost deference?

Everyone had only two thoughts in their minds: fortunes change.

Merchant, you deserve it!

However, after the initial schadenfreude, everyone remained apprehensive.

Ghosts and spirits, especially the most evil and terrifying part of them, will they really be safe if they go to the human world?

Butler Song seemed to know what they were thinking. "As long as you don't provoke the master or the young mistress, you'll be fine."

Everyone: "..."

Butler Song's expression suddenly turned cold and solemn. As everyone became increasingly apprehensive, he spoke: "The gods have decreed that no more children will be born into the four great families of Chaoge. Anyone who commits a crime will be sent to the ancient mansion one person per year until the entire family is exterminated."

Boom!

A blinding flash of lightning seemed to tear the sky in two, and the thunder almost shook one's soul out of their body.

The purple aura above the ancestral homes of the remaining three major families suddenly dissipated, and the murderous aura soared into the sky, spreading a stench of blood... No one knows how many evils they have committed over the past few thousand years to have such terrible karma and sins.

Now all of this will come back on them.

Don't think that only the current generation of the four major families is unlucky; their ancestors all enjoyed a life of luxury.

The ghosts and gods once told Wen Xin that the people of the four great families either have no afterlife, their souls become nourishment for the old mansion after death, or they are cast into the animal realm. Unless they are those who have done good deeds throughout their lives, none of them will have a good ending.

This is the price of betraying God and suppressing and stealing divine fortune.

What they received was already priced in secret.

The four major families are completely finished now!

There will never be four great families in Chaoge again. They have been scheming and plotting for thousands of years, but they will eventually be submerged in the long river of history, and in a way that will lead to their utter ruin.

This is what everyone is thinking.

Everyone subconsciously swallowed, their eyes filled with fear and awe as they looked towards the ancient house.

Is this a god?

Butler Song was quite satisfied that no one dared to question him, or that they were acting out of their saintly sanity. "As for opening the old house on the fifteenth of August every year, that was never the adults' idea. Besides, if no one comes to feed the old house, you can all weigh the consequences yourselves."

Butler Song's meaning was clear: the old house, being a place of annual rituals, was the fault of Heaven, and had nothing to do with ghosts or gods.

If humans are dissatisfied, they can directly confront the Heavenly Dao, not ghosts and gods; the Lord is not responsible for that.
