Chapter 165 Egg Boy's Taste

Just as Zhao Youliang and the others were secretly exclaiming, "My life is over," Chang Jie, with a cheap cigarette dangling from his mouth, suddenly floated in front of the big ghost.

He started with the same old lines: "My parents are dragons, but I'm just a maggot. How can you explain this?"

The once menacing ghost froze on the spot upon seeing Chang Jie.

Just like a TV screen that was just showing a fierce fight, suddenly being paused.

Not only did it freeze the giant hand in mid-air, but even the will-o'-the-wisp burning between its horns turned into a series of exclamation marks.

"The Chang family's eldest nephew?"

"Nephew, what are you doing here? Does your father, Eighth Uncle, really trust you that much?!"

Seeing that the big ghost recognized him, Chang Jie weakly called out to someone.

"Uncle Hao Gui, my parents are both dragons, but I am a maggot. How can you explain this?"

At this moment, Da Gui had no more interest in paying attention to Zhao Youliang and the others, and he grabbed Chang Jie and hugged him tightly.

He laughed heartily for a long time while being stroked by his darling.

“Nephew, you’ve been wronged. There’s really no one to reason with.”

"What's wrong? Haven't you developed yet these past few years? Are you still stuck in the egg and can't come out?"

"If all else fails, just do as I say and pull it out with all your might!"

Da Gui was just talking; he didn't actually dare to help Chang Jie with the birth.

Because if something unexpected happens, even if he is of high status, he cannot bear such a great responsibility.

Even if Chang Jie's terrifying uncle and parents don't blame him, who will bear the teacher's wrath?!

You should know that among all the younger generation, the one the master cherishes the most is this strange egg in front of him.

He even personally went to the ancestral land of Zhiren to bring Changjie back and raise him.

"Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie, tell your uncle what you're doing here."

"Uncle remembers that you five disciples of the immortal family were not allowed to enter the town easily, were you?"

As he spoke, Da Gui pulled out the half-smoked cigarette from Chang Jie's cigarette, then popped it into his mouth with a "plop" and took a big, satisfying drag.

When Chang Jie saw that his cigarettes had been taken away, his eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Upon seeing this, the elder immediately realized that he had acted dishonestly, taking a cigarette from a junior.

He quickly rummaged around and took out half a bag of crumpled cigarettes from his person, which he generously gave to Chang Jie.

"Xiao Jie, you smoke this one, I'll light it for you."

After saying that, he actually used the will-o'-the-wisp between his horns to light the cigarette and stuffed it into Chang Jie's mouth with a "poof".

Chang Jie then stopped crying and started sobbing heavily.

"My parents are both dragons, and Uncle Gui even tried to steal my cigarette. How can you explain this?"

Big Ghost: "..."

After deliberately coughing twice, the big ghost began to look around the entire hall.

They were stunned when they discovered the memorial tablets of Hui Wuming and the City Goddess.

Upon seeing the memorial tablets at the top inscribed with "Mr. and Young General," I was utterly shocked.

A pair of large, bell-like eyes stared incredulously at Zhao Youliang, who had previously seemed completely unconcerned.

"Young man... young sir... young master, why are you enshrining the memorial tablets of the Master and the Young General?"

"Please don't tell me that you, the young general, secretly committed this sin behind Miss Li Yun's back..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang's face immediately darkened, and he hurriedly recounted everything that had happened to him in the most concise language.

Of course, the focus is on the process of meeting the gentleman and the young general.

The big ghost breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and stretched out his hairy hands to pat his chest covered with black hair.

"Thank goodness it wasn't the young general's doing! Oh my god, that scared me to death!"

"If the young general knew I almost slapped his bastard... dragon seed to death, he'd probably kick my crotch until it's swollen!"

"Oh, by the way, quantum mechanics, right? Do you know what's going on?"

"Why else would so many wandering ghosts appear?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang quickly shook his head, indicating that he was innocent, knew nothing, and was just a bystander watching the show.

The big ghost was quite disappointed upon hearing this. He was about to say something when he suddenly froze and then pretended to listen attentively.

It was as if someone was transmitting a message to him.

After a moment, the big ghost nodded repeatedly: "This little ghost thanks the Dragon Lord for the reminder, thanks the Dragon Lord for the reminder!"

"So, sir, you once stayed here. Then this wretched place is no place for a brat like me to get involved in!"

After finishing his appeal, Da Gui ignored Zhao Youliang and the others, picked up Chang Jie, and gave him two big kisses on his eggshell.

"Alright, Xiao Jie, you can continue playing here. Uncle needs to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible."

"Oh dear, if we leave too late and get blocked by the young general, we'll be in big trouble!"

After saying this, the great ghost, along with all its ghostly soldiers, vanished from Zhao Youliang's sight with a whoosh, as if it had never been there at all.

"Quantum, right? Take good care of Changjie and yourself."

"Take care of yourself!"

Only when they realized that the great ghost had truly left did Zhao Youliang and all the immortals breathe a long sigh of relief.

Zhao Youliang, still shaken, asked, "Egg Boy, do you know that sir from earlier?"

"What does he do? Why is he so scary!"

Chang Jie seemed unwilling to speak, or perhaps he was in a deep depression.

Upon hearing this, it merely raised its head listlessly for a moment before slumping back onto the eggshell.

"My parents are dragons, but I am a maggot. How can you explain this?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang was immediately speechless and quickly lit a cigarette that Da Gui had given him for Chang Jie.

At the same time, he secretly worried: if his little brother Dan got addicted to Huazi cigarettes and refused to smoke 1.7 yuan cigarettes anymore, he really couldn't afford to support him!

The problem is this guy's smoking habit is too strong; he smokes at least half a carton a day!!

With a heart full of unease, Zhao Youliang seemed to see a lot of small amounts of money flying away from him at high speed.

Meanwhile, dressed in tattered clothes, leaning on a cane and holding a broken bowl, he stood in the cold wind begging, facing Chang Jie.

Meanwhile, the carefree Egg Boy was still puffing away on his cigarettes...

"Hey Egghead, do you think this cigarette is better or the one I used to buy for you?"

Amid Zhao Youliang's anxious anticipation, Chang Jie gave him an unexpected answer.

"The one you bought is really good; this cigarette is weak..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Youliang immediately felt relieved.

While marveling at Chang Jie's truly unique taste, he secretly pondered to himself.

It seems that Egg Boy is really not very smart, even dumber than his lost cousin Wang Youcai!

Fortunately, Zhao Youliang didn't voice his true thoughts, otherwise he would have been struck by lightning immediately...

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, and having been genuinely frightened by the sudden appearance of the giant ghost, Zhao Youliang decided to go to bed.

In any case, even if something evil causes trouble, it will first harm the five major local surnames.

There's always a way out. Let's wait until I'm fully awake before making any decisions!
