"Mother, this time seems a little different."
After a moment of silence within the bed curtains, a soft sigh escaped his lips. "Ninth Brother... doesn't want to accept his fate."
Mo Yunzhao's heart skipped a beat.
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence, as if sunlight could not penetrate the darkness and was swallowing everything up.
...
Luo Jiu's residence is in a very remote area.
It is already outside of District 6.
A faded red plaque hangs on the dilapidated wooden door.
There were no stone lions at the entrance, but there were two oddly shaped large wooden barrels.
"Chunmei, deliver the visiting card."
The gold-embossed visiting card bore the Su family's ancestral badge.
Chunmei stepped forward to knock on the door, but as soon as she got close to the two wooden barrels, she heard a creaking sound coming from inside them.
Before she could react, she was slammed to the ground with a stick.
The two wooden barrels were actually mechanical dolls, turning their handles and blocking the doorway.
Qin Minglang had seen some ingenious weapons in the army, mostly bows and crossbows and hidden weapons, but this was the first time he had seen such a puppet.
"Master Luo is indeed exceptionally talented."
A peddler walked by without stopping and kindly offered a word of advice.
"I advise you not to bother, Master Luo doesn't see outsiders."
Chunmei, in pain, bent over and got up from the ground, her hands scraped and broken.
"Miss, what should we do?"
Su Yulan scoffed.
“Just two inanimate objects, Minglang. Charge in and show Master Luo what you’re capable of.”
Qin Minglang had just been humiliated at Puheng Money Exchange and was eager to prove himself, so he immediately flew up and kicked one of the wooden barrels.
He originally thought that the two wooden buckets could only be attacked by the extended wooden sticks and a specific direction of rotation, but before his foot could kick the bucket, the top of the bucket suddenly opened, and a basin of sewage that had been stored for who knows how long splashed onto his face.
The nauseating smell reminded Su Yulan of the stench of feces in Qin Run's room, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief to prevent herself from vomiting.
Qin Minglang's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he roared as he attacked again.
"Let's see how many pots you can hide!"
Sure enough, only the stick was left to swing at the wooden barrel, but this attack was no match for Qin Minglang.
Just as he was feeling smug, he suddenly felt a tightness in his buttocks.
A sharpened bamboo pole came straight in.
He screamed and turned his head, and the water from the other bucket was poured precisely onto his face, into his wide-open mouth.
"vomit!"
Su Yulan could no longer hold it in and vomited while holding onto the carriage.
Qin Minglang was in an even worse state than her, clutching his buttocks with one hand and trying to spit out all the dirty water with the other.
The two were engrossed in their own vomiting when a carriage leisurely approached.
The curtain was lifted, revealing Jiang Qingwan's beautiful face, which was stunning even without makeup.
She stopped the coachman and watched the show, resting her chin on her hand.
The stench wafting in the air was blocked by the golden light protecting her, and she couldn't smell it at all.
Without the protection of the magic array, everyone in the Qin family will be plagued by misfortune.
As the recipient of the Crimson Jade, Qin Minglang's fate will only be worse than others.
This is just the beginning.
