Chapter 288 Making Good Use of Rules

Ye Xiaoman stopped and took advantage of the opportunity to come over and still take a nap with her chin resting on her head.

The servants of Huanxi Villa are all Red Ghosts. Red Ghosts have the strength equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. They are capable of causing harm outside, but here they can only be servants.

This shows how powerful the housekeeper, the owner of the manor and others are.

Ye Xiaoman bent down and lost her support, almost falling forward, and then she woke up for a second.

Facing the provocation from her servants, Ye Xiaoman calmly picked up a tree root and wrote on the muddy ground.

The rules state that residents are not allowed to talk to servants, but there is no restriction on residents communicating with servants in other ways.

The servant's long neck wrapped around Ye Xiaoman's face.

Seeing Ye Xiaoman writing on the ground stroke by stroke:

——Stop talking nonsense and lead the way quickly.

The servant was so angry that his mouth split open to his ears, and he screamed shrilly in Ye Xiaoman's ear: "You are so arrogant, I will make you pay the price!"

Ye Xiaoman dug her almost deafened ears and continued writing on the ground with a branch:

——Your employee code of conduct is not to harm guests who have not violated the rules.

The housekeeper and the servants are powerful, but they dare not harm the weak residents. Instead, they go to great lengths to guide the residents to break the rules, which shows that they are also restricted by another set of rules.

If you think about it this way, as long as you abide by the resident rules, these evil spirits are nothing to be afraid of.

——Stop acting, it’s so embarrassing.

The servant was helpless and furious, and had no way to deal with Ye Xiaoman, so he could only lead her on the way.

After bringing the people into a courtyard, it left angrily.

The escort assigned two men to deposit the horses and goods in the stable outside the yard.

The remaining people began to divide into dormitories.

There are three large rooms and two small rooms in the courtyard.

There is only one bed in the small room, and it is only big enough for one person to sleep.

Everyone wants to sleep together and doesn’t want to stay in a room by themselves.

Ye Xiaoman was just looking for a deserted place to eat the marrow-cleansing grass, and she offered to live in the small room.

Because of his strong online ability, Ye Xiaoman made the decision for him and he lived in another single dormitory next to her.

In this way, the problem of the small house was solved.

The escorts were very grateful.

After the rooms were divided, an escort took out a piece of human skin and pointed to the fifth rule on it.

"People who don't drink well water will become food. Do we have to go find well water to drink?"

Qi Kou said: "No matter whether it is right or not, it is better to do it than not to do it."

The group then went out to find well water to drink.

Ye Xiaoman walked out of the courtyard, and the wooden door of the courtyard separated by a wall was also pushed open.

The cat demon boy and several demon cultivators came out.

The beautiful boy actually lives next door.

Ye Xiaoman was ecstatic.

The escorts were extremely wary of the young man handing out flyers.

Only Ye Xiaoman rubbed her hands and came forward to talk: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Ye Xiaoman did not blame the cat demon boy for abducting her into the villa.

She has always been very tolerant of beauties. If you want to blame someone, blame her for being too lustful.

She only hoped that she could taste what her little cat brother tasted like before she died.

The young man followed his companion, walking forward without looking away. "Sister, even when death is imminent, you still have the same lustful heart."

"Food and sex are human nature." Ye Xiaoman smiled and walked side by side with the young man. "My friends and I are going to find a well to drink water. You seem to have lived in the manor for a while. Can you tell me where the well is?"

The boy pointed forward.

"Do you want some water too?"

The boy ignored him.

Ye Xiaoman continued: "My name is Cherry Jam, what's your name?"

It was dark, and dark lanterns were floating above the overgrown road.

The light shone on the boy's face, making his skin look even whiter and smoother, and the silver ornaments on his forehead sparkled.

He stopped and asked politely, "Sis, after I told you my name, could you please stop pestering me?"

Ye Xiaoman agreed immediately, "No problem."

"Amu."

The young man walked away.

Ye Xiaoman stood there, savoring his name. "Is that the Mu of love? What's your full name?"

There was no answer in the darkness.

Ye Xiaoman was very happy. She was already satisfied just to be able to talk to the handsome boy.

If I tell you my name this time, maybe I’ll let you stroke my tail next time we meet.

The escorts followed from a distance behind, and only dared to approach after the young man had gone far away.

Ye Xiaoman said, "They are also going to the well. We just need to follow them."

Qi Kou's face was full of emotion.

She thought Ye Xiaoman was there to strike up a conversation, but it turned out she was there to gather information.

Ye Xiaoman and the escorts came to the nearby ancient well.

This well is closest to the accommodation area and is where newcomers checking in today gather.

Ye Xiaoman roughly estimated that there were hundreds of people.

There was only a wooden barrel at the edge of the well.

As the sky grew darker, some new residents who were unwilling to queue started to cut in line in order to drink well water before going to bed, which led to a dispute.

Based on the rule that "if you are unfriendly to others, you will become food", they only dare to push each other and quarrel quietly.

Qi Kou was speechless: "The water in the wooden barrel can be drunk by each person, and it can be drunk by dozens of people. What is there to fight for?"

The last scholar to arrive at the scene, a scholar in a Confucian robe, excitedly ran up to the quarreling residents and pointed to the back, saying loudly: "Stop fighting, I found a well over there."

Qi Kou said with relief: "There are still people who understand things."

The scholar was well-mannered and looked like a good man who was well-read in the books of sages. More than 20 people followed him to the location of the new well.

Qi Kou wanted to go too, but Ye Xiaoman stopped her: "It's a trick."

When ordinary people walk, even if they like to walk with their heads down, their eyes will look forward from time to time. But the scholar walked with his head down from beginning to end, as if there was something in front of him that he couldn't see.

Sure enough, screams came one after another from the white fog behind.

The butler appeared at some point.

The scholar discovered it when he arrived and deliberately took people to their deaths.

The person who ran after the scholar ran into the housekeeper's face head-on and never came back.

The scholar came back with a smell of blood.

Everyone looked at him in fear.

The scholar, fanning himself, swaggered to the front of the line to drink well water, and no one dared to stop him.

A faint black aura enveloped him.

Qi Kou whispered, "He seems to have become stronger."

Ye Xiaoman analyzed: "The rules say that within the villa, other people's fear can be transformed into strength."

The rules encourage residents to kill each other.

The more people you kill, the stronger you become, and the longer you can survive in the villa.

Sure enough, after the scholar took the lead, everyone else had murderous looks in their eyes and was ready to make a move.

Next, not only do you have to prevent yourself from being persecuted by the evil spirits in the villa, but you also have to be wary of your companions around you, making survival even more difficult.

During the whole process, the cat demon boy and his demon cultivation partner just stood by and watched coldly, neither queuing up nor rushing to drink water, waiting for the well to be empty.

They didn't look surprised when the scholar set a trap to kill people. It seemed that such things were nothing new to the old residents.

The newlyweds were taught a lesson by the scholar and felt heavy-hearted, so they lined up obediently to get water to drink.
