I was utterly shocked. I never imagined that these two could actually open the gates of the Divine Mechanism Pavilion! It was the first time I had ever seen the gates of the Divine Mechanism Pavilion opened!
Upon hearing the invitation from the three wolves, the three old men eagerly leaped toward the palm of another giant. However, just as they were excitedly preparing to land inside the giant's palm, they were suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier. The three old men then fell from above, landing covered in dust.
"Brother Sanlang, you're really wicked," Luo Meilihua said, covering her mouth and laughing as she looked at the three old men below, who were covered in dust and dirt.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you have to rely on your own abilities to get in. I just heard it from these two gatekeepers. You should use your old methods to get in. I'm really sorry!" After Sanlang finished speaking, the giant stood up, turned around, and lifted Sanlang and Luo Meilihua towards the Shenji Pavilion, leaving only the three old men with bitter faces and Hua Erlang kneeling on the ground trembling...
"What brings you two to the human realm? Or perhaps you find the Asura world too boring and have come to our human realm to relax?" The giants transported Sanlang and Luo Meilihua directly to a place shrouded in mist, where the sound of flowing water could be heard everywhere, but they could not see their surroundings or people.
"We came to the human world only to find clues and then to find someone!" Three Wolves replied.
"Oh? Then you've come to the right place. Tell me, who are you looking for? Do you want revenge or...?" the ethereal voice asked.
"Looking for relatives!" Sanlang replied.
"Heh, searching for relatives? As far as I know, we humans and you Rakshasa cannot unite at all, otherwise..."
"I'm looking for my master, but he's no longer in the mortal realm."
"Oh, since your master is no longer in the mortal realm, why don't you go to the Netherworld or the Buddhist underworld to look for him?"
"When I say 'not here,' I don't mean 'already dead,' but rather 'have gone to another place.'"
"Haha, besides these two places, what other places are there? The eighteen levels of hell?"
"This joke isn't funny at all!" Three Wolves frowned, his anger slowly building up inside him!
"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. An old guy who's lived this long can't even take a joke? Tell me, where did your master disappear from?"
"Shuofeng City!"
"Shuofeng City?" The person on the other end seemed surprised, and then the surrounding smoke began to slowly dissipate...
"Master, are you really leaving? Please take me with you!" A girl looked at an old man pitifully and pleaded.
“Ruhuan, the place we’re going to is extremely dangerous. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you then, so it’s safer for you to stay in the human realm!” an old man said with a bitter expression.
"Junior Sister! Master!" Sanlang looked at the two people in front of him, his heart filled with joy. The two people he had been thinking about day and night had finally appeared in front of him. Was this a dream?
But when Sanlang ran over to pull his junior sister away, he suddenly passed right through her body!
"What's going on?" Sanlang asked, looking around with a gloomy expression.
"You pig-brain! Look at your junior sister now, and look at your master."
"An illusion! This is their illusion!" Three Wolves suddenly realized.
"If you want to know what happened next, shut up! Don't yell!"
Sanlang watched in a daze as his junior sister, his mother, and his master were separated. He became depressed and unhappy all day long. Then, two Rakshasa appeared and began to kill his junior sister!
Sanlang turned his head and looked at Luo Meili with murderous eyes, as if he wanted to tear Luo Meili to pieces!
“It wasn’t me. I hadn’t even been summoned by your mother yet. You should know who sent them, right?” Luo Meili looked at Sanlang with a bitter expression.
Sanlang was stunned for a moment, then watched as his junior sister in front of him began to fight desperately. Sanlang's heart bled and he was heartbroken.
Only when he saw his junior sister draw out a very ancient-looking short sword, then open a vortex and suck the two Rakshasa into it did Sanlang breathe a sigh of relief. He then turned to look at Luo Meili Hua with some apology. Luo Meili Hua quickly turned her head away, not wanting to look at Sanlang, afraid that he would see the tears in her eyes...
Later, I saw my junior sister go to a place called Shangquan Temple, where she found a creature called Shangsan. Then they began to rule Shuofeng City, until a man called Pohou came to Shuofeng City...
Sanlang watched as his junior sisters were sucked into the vortex he had created, and then saw the scarecrow being sucked in as well. His already anxious heart sank even higher!
Then the scene suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings returned to their usual smoky state.
"What happened next? Where did they go?" the creature asked anxiously, so concerned that it didn't even notice what Ru Huan and the others were saying.
"If nothing unexpected happens, they should have gone to the Battlefield of the Gods!" The ethereal voice was also very solemn.
"The Battlefield of the Gods? They went to the Battlefield of the Gods too? I want to go too! Do you have any ways to get to the Battlefield of the Gods? Tell me, I can give you anything you want!" said Three Wolves.
"I'll give you anything"?
Luo Meili felt a gaze fixed on her, and the bitterness in her heart intensified. Had she ultimately made the wrong choice? Had she failed to warm his heart after all these years? Had she been nothing more than a clown, unable to control her feelings and indulging in wishful thinking all along? Sigh... Oh well...
Just as Sanlang was about to answer yes, he suddenly thought of Luo Meili Hua beside him, and his heart trembled! Seeing Luo Meili Hua's slightly trembling shoulders, he knew that he had deeply hurt the woman who was devoted to him!
I deserve to die! Sanlang slapped himself hard across the face, then tried to hug Luo Meilihua, but he didn't know what to do after hugging her, or how to comfort the woman who had broken his heart.
"Have you made up your mind? Then I won't be polite!" The ethereal voice said with a hint of excitement in its tone.
"I'm not going! Sorry to bother you, let's leave now!" Sanlang suddenly said, and Luo Meilihua's whole body trembled, her shoulders shaking even more violently.
"Let's go home!" Sanlang walked over and took Luo Meili's very cold little hand, saying with great heartache.
"I'm not going back! I want to go to the battlefield of the gods with you!" Luo Meilihua said, choking back tears.
"It's my fault. Let's go home. We're not going anywhere else. We'll stay in the Asura World. I'll be my king, and you'll be my queen. We'll dominate the entire Asura World! We're not going anywhere else!" Sanlang hugged Luo Meilihua tightly, then gently wiped away her crystal-clear, bitter tears. He himself was also in waves of pain, realizing that he had ultimately let down the lover who loved him so deeply...
"Hey, we haven't seen this kind of romance in ages! Can you guys be a little more passionate? Can you make it a little more heart-wrenching? That woman, don't agree to be with him yet, then go and commit suicide, make him regret it for the rest of his life!"
"Get lost!" The mysterious man's words broke Sanlang's composure.
"Pfft!" Luo Meilihua was also amused by the mysterious person's words. Seeing Luo Meilihua's tearful smile, the three wolves were instantly captivated, and two blushes appeared on Luo Meilihua's cheeks...
"Ahem, be mindful of your behavior. We're all single people here. How are we supposed to feel after you pull this stunt?"
Then, the smoke slowly dissipated again, and then he saw a person standing in front of him.
"I heard you want to go to the Battlefield of the Gods?" the person asked as soon as he came in.
"Who are you?" Sanlang sensed an incredibly terrifying power emanating from this person! He then pulled Luo Meili behind him and looked at the person with a wary expression.
"Me? I'm the manager you're looking for!" The man smiled and said to the three wolves.
"Do you know where a fox is hiding in the Battlefield of the Gods?" Three Wolves asked tentatively.
"You must be talking about the Eastern Qingqiu Divine Realm! But there's still a fierce battle going on there. How come your relatives were tricked by those foxes into becoming cannon fodder? That's a real shame. They might be dead by now, not even a trace left!" The person shrugged helplessly, looking like he couldn't help at all.
"Who exactly are the people you're harvesting?" This ethereal figure was also very curious.
"To give an analogy, whether it's your human realm or any other world, it's someone else's land where they grow crops. You are their crops. These crops are usually harvested when the season comes. But some seeds, whether it's due to the soil or the seeds themselves, grow faster and stronger than ordinary seeds. There are also some seeds with very dangerous parasites. At this time, the creatures called scarecrows begin to eliminate these pests and mutated seeds."
What we call the harvesters are not the real harvesters at all. The real harvesters are far more terrifying than us. We just see these mutated seeds and parasites being lured to our place before the scarecrows even discover them.
"So all those legendary things about ascending to immortality, reaching paradise, or attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven are basically just us fooling you, so you can become cannon fodder on our battlefield of gods. But we can't rule out the possibility that other worlds are also coming here to fool you!" the person said bluntly.
"Then which region of the battlefield of the gods do you belong to?" Three Wolves asked.
"I belong to the Southern Divine Ape!" The man smiled.
"How far is the South from the East?" Sanlang asked.
"Hundreds of thousands of miles!" the man replied.
"Hundreds of thousands of miles?" Sanlang was a little confused. That's so far!
“If it were in the west, it would be even farther, probably several million miles away! Because we are adjacent to the east, it's a little closer,” the man said.
"How can I get to the Battlefield of the Gods?" Three Wolves asked the man with a hopeful expression.
"Hehe, as long as you agree to my conditions, I can let you go to the Battlefield of the Gods!" This person looked at the three wolves with a meaningful expression and said.
"What are your conditions? Tell me, and let me see if I can accept them." Sanlang, no longer as impulsive as before, looked at the man and said.
"It's actually quite simple. Just go to a place called Zhudaoling, get me something from there, and then I can send you to the Battlefield of the Gods. And maybe I can even send you directly to the Eastern Qingqiu Divine Realm that you want to go to!" the man said.
"What if we take the things back and you deny it?" Luo Meili asked.
"Don't worry, how could I, a dignified harvester, go back on my word!" the man said.
“I don’t believe you! Unless you swear a solemn oath, I won’t believe you!” Luo Meilihua said.
"Fine, if you bring me back what I want, I'll send you to the Eastern Qingqiu Divine Realm, and if I don't, I'll be struck by lightning, pierced by ten thousand arrows, and die a horrible death! Are you satisfied now?" the Reaper said.
"Hmm, that's more like it. Where is this Zhudao Mausoleum you mentioned?" Luo Meili asked with great satisfaction.
"Hehe, not far, not far, right here in Tiandu," the harvester chuckled.
“That’s great! Then hurry up and take us there. We’ll get what you wanted back, and then we’ll set off for the Eastern Qingqiu Divine Realm,” said Sanlang.
"Hehe, I only know that the Zhudao Mausoleum is in Tiandu, but I really don't know its exact location. You two will have to find it yourselves," the manager said.
"You don't even know about this place, and you expect the two of us to go find it?" Sanlang asked, very puzzled.
"If I found it myself, would I need you to go find it? I could just go get it myself," the manager said, utterly exasperated.
“At least give us a little clue, so we can have some direction,” Luo Meili said.
"All I know about the Zhudao Mausoleum is that it's located in Tiandu. The entrance seems to be inside a coffin shop. That's all I know!" the manager said.
“Alright,” Sanlang looked at the manager and could only accept the situation.
"I'm not going with you. I'm afraid you'll find the location of Zhudao Mausoleum and then keep it from me, so I've decided to go with you anyway!" the manager said.
"Weren't you arrested? How did you manage to get out?" Sanlang asked, somewhat surprised.
"If I want to leave here, it's a piece of cake. These people can't stop me at all. I can go wherever I want," the manager said.
"So impressive? Okay, we'll wait for you outside!" After saying that, Sanlang left Shenji Pavilion with Luo Meilihua.
"Zhudao Mausoleum? Have you ever heard of this place?" the voice asked, shrouded in smoke.
"I think I saw it in that book, but I've forgotten it now. But what this person said is true. This Zhudao Mausoleum is inside the coffin shop!"
"Now I'm searching through all the coffin shops in Tiandu. I'm a little curious about what exactly this Zhudaoling is."
"Are we just going to let him go like this?"
"Do you think we can beat him?"
"Rika, I don't know how to tell you, but believe me, I will never leave you, no matter what..."
"Brother Sanlang, don't say anymore. I know what you want to say. You should also have your freedom. You don't belong to me, nor to anyone else. You only belong to yourself. So I can't be so selfish as to bind you to my side with my feelings. So whatever you want to do, I will support you and understand you. Don't worry about me. I can understand!" Luo Meili said with a smile.
“Rika, I…” Sanlang felt very sad when he heard Luo Meilihua say this, but he didn’t know how to go back to the old days. He felt that Luo Meilihua was slowly distancing herself from him.
"Oh, you two had a fight? Is there something you can't resolve? You're both so angry during the day, and now you're practically rubbing shoulders at night. Is there something you can't talk things out about?" the manager said.
“It’s nothing. We’ve lived together for so many years, and our children are all grown up. What problem can’t we solve?” Luo Meili smiled sweetly at the manager.
"Hey kid, don't you want such a beautiful wife anymore? If you don't want her, just tell me, and I'll take her," the manager joked.
"Yes, of course I want her! She's my wife, my partner to grow old with, how could I not want her?" Sanlang quickly said, looking at Luo Meilihua.
Luo Meili Hua simply smiled at Sanlang without saying anything, nor did she let out her usual melodious laughter. Sanlang could only follow with a sullen expression. The manager behind him patted Sanlang on the shoulder without saying anything.
"What are the special features of this place called Zhudaoling that you're looking for?" Luo Meili asked the manager as she walked down the main street of Tiandu, looking around at the shops.
"Well, it seems to have a special feature: if you use it to store a corpse, the corpse will come back to life and become a terrifying monster!" the manager said.
"I don't know your name yet. My name is Luo Meilihua, and this is my brother Sanlang," Luo Meilihua introduced herself and Sanlang to the manager.
“Just call me Sun Yan,” the manager said.
"Okay, Brother Sun, if we help you find this Tomb of All Paths, will you go to the Battlefield of the Gods with us?"
“I’m not going back. That place is not fit for human habitation. It’s all about killing and being killed all day long. There’s never a peaceful day. The human world is much more peaceful. I’m not going to that hellhole!” Sun Yan said directly.
“Alright, let’s take a look first. People who died and came back to life in Tiandu should be able to find clues about the Zhudao Mausoleum,” Luo Meilihua said.
“Yeah, how come I didn’t think of that? Hehe, Luo Mei is really something. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also so smart. It seems we three wolves are really lucky,” Sun Yan said with a smile.
"Brother Sun, you flatter me. I am but a woman, how can I compare to the learned and talented Brother Sun?" Luo Meilihua said politely.
The three of them began searching for the whereabouts of Zhudaoling in the streets and alleys of Tiandu...
The richest family in Tiandu, the Shen family, had a very strange dream last night. He still feels uneasy when he thinks about it. In the dream, he suddenly died, and after he died, his family began to busy themselves with his funeral arrangements.
His sons went to a deserted coffin shop and bought him a coffin. After buying it, they bathed him, dressed him in his burial clothes, and then put him into the coffin. But what they didn't expect was that as soon as his body touched the coffin, he felt something suddenly crawl into his body and quickly turn his body into something terrifying!
But his family had no idea! They were still crying and arranging his funeral, completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching. He tried several times to shout and tell his family to run away, but no matter how he shouted, his family couldn't hear him!
Just as Shen Baiwan was extremely anxious, he suddenly discovered that his corpse had opened its eyes, its blood-red eyes staring straight at him. Shen Baiwan was so frightened that his heart stopped for a few breaths, which also woke him up!
After waking up, Shen Baiwan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. His whole body was soaked in sweat, which was sticky and uncomfortable. Even his blanket was wet.
"Come on," Shen Baiwan said, only then realizing his throat was burning and he was extremely thirsty, wanting to drink water.
Those outside heard the commotion inside Shen Baiwan's house, and immediately there was a commotion of chickens and dogs running around. Then they heard footsteps slowly walking towards the house where they were playing.
When was this maidservant bought? I've never seen her before. Shen Baiwan looked at the maidservant outside the house, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was carrying something in her hands. The maidservant seemed very scared to come to his room. Shen Baiwan was very puzzled. Could there be something terrifying in his room?
Thinking back, this young maid must have just arrived at his residence and hadn't settled in yet. Perhaps she was afraid he would take advantage of her by coming to his room so late at night? Hehe, to be honest, looking at this delicate and timid girl who seemed so innocent and naive, Shen Baiwan was indeed tempted to have those kinds of thoughts!
Shen Baiwan watched as the little maid gently pushed open the door, then lowered her head and dared not look at him, cautiously approaching his side.
"Master, have some tea!" The girl's voice was very pleasant, but it carried a hint of fear.
"When did you come to my house? I've never seen you before." Shen Baiwan took the tea offered by the maid and casually touched her hand. He found that her hand was ice-cold and trembling slightly! Tsk tsk tsk, this young man's hand feels so comfortable to touch, so smooth.
After Shen Baiwan tilted his head back and gulped down his tea, he looked at the little maid standing in front of him, but the burning sensation in his throat had not been relieved at all.
"Go, tell them to prepare water for me. I want to take a bath. Tell them not to use warm water, but ice water, the colder the better!" Shen Baiwan scratched his neck in frustration. Looking at the little maid's fair neck, he almost couldn't resist the urge to pounce on her and bite her neck! But he managed to suppress this terrifying thought.
Not long after, the maid came to say that the water had been prepared for him. Shen Baiwan walked out of his bedroom and came outside, where he saw his sons and wife waiting for him.
"Why are you all standing outside so late at night instead of sleeping? Go back to sleep. You come with me and help me rub my back and massage my shoulders. My shoulders always feel a bit sore," Shen Baiwan said to the crowd. As they left, they gave the little maid a pitying look before scattering like birds and beasts...
Shen Baiwan looked at the wooden tub that could hold four or five adults, which was now full of water with countless ice cubes floating in it. Overjoyed, he took off his clothes, which were soaked with cold sweat, and then jumped naked into the tub in front of the maid.
The icy water made Shen Baiwan shudder, and then the burning sensation all over his body was relieved a little, making him feel comfortable and refreshed!
The little maid kept her head down the whole time, not daring to breathe too loudly! She even breathed very softly, afraid of making the slightest noise and attracting her master's attention.
"Come here, give me a back rub!" Hearing her master's lazy voice as he lay in the wooden tub, the little maid froze, her legs feeling as heavy as lead, and slowly moved toward the tub.
"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?" Shen Baiwan looked at the little maid with some impatience. The restlessness in his heart began to stir again, and even the ice in the wooden bucket couldn't suppress it!
The young maidservant trembled as she approached the wooden tub, her trembling hands gently touching her master's body. If her master were a normal person, she would gladly accept him as her husband. If she were to give birth to a son or daughter, her future would be secure. But now, her master was... The maidservant gently massaged Shen Baiwan's back with just the right amount of pressure, but Shen Baiwan's skin was extremely cold! Before long, the maidservant's hands were numb with cold, almost frozen stiff!
Shen Baiwan, who was lying on the edge of the wooden tub, was enjoying the massage from his little maid. He closed his eyes and felt very comfortable! But the little maid's hands seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. Shen Baiwan turned his head and looked at the little maid, whose lips were blue from the cold, with some displeasure.
"Are you cold?" Shen Baiwan asked, somewhat puzzled.
The maid nodded stiffly. Shen Baiwan grasped the maid's hands, which were already purple from the cold, and placed them on his chest with some heartache.
"Come on, warm up inside. It won't be so cold if you come in and warm up!" Shen Baiwan stood up from the wooden tub, then grabbed the struggling maid and went back into the tub.
"Is it warmer inside than outside?" Shen Baiwan asked the pale-faced maid.
The little maid was terrified; it was a miracle she hadn't fainted! She hadn't expected the water in the wooden tub to be so warm! She suddenly felt incredibly warm all over.
Shen Baiwan looked at the little maid, who looked pitiful, like a frightened little lamb, and then pulled her into his arms, his mouth beginning to wander over her body...
"What a beautiful neck, what a wonderful voice, can you hear it, the sound of your blood flowing?" Shen Baiwan's tongue licked the little maid's neck, and the little maid's whole body was covered in goosebumps!
Just as the little maid was completely captivated, Shen Baiwan's pupils suddenly turned blood red! Then he opened his mouth, which was full of sharp fangs, and bit down hard on the little maid's neck.
The little maid began to struggle violently in pain! But Shen Baiwan held the little maid tightly, and no matter how much she struggled, she could not break free from Shen Baiwan's deathly embrace. The water in the entire wooden tub was slowly replaced by a scarlet color...
Shen Baiwan was awakened by the crowing of roosters. He opened his eyes and saw that it was already daylight outside. He got up, went to the chamber pot, and released the water he had been holding in all night. He even shivered twice afterward!
Shen Baiwan opened his door, took a deep breath, and saw that his servants were already busy preparing for the day.
Shen Baiwan went straight to the kitchen, sat down, and took a sip of the jam that the servants had just ground that morning. He felt refreshed. After finishing his meal, he went to his shops to oversee things. He was not young anymore, but these shops were built up step by step with great difficulty. Shen Baiwan was afraid that his son would be incompetent and squander everything he had worked so hard to build. So he had to keep an eye on things to feel at ease.
"Sigh, why don't we go find a mage?" Shen Baiwan's sons and wife were gathered together, and the eldest son, Shen Qin, suggested.
“We can find a sorcerer, but what if he finds out about us when he arrives at our house? How are we supposed to explain that?” Shen Baiwan said, as his second son, Shen Jian, asked.
“You can go yourselves this time. I’m not buying any more. I’ve already bought four maids by myself, and I feel like I’m about to collapse!” said the third brother, Chen Jie.
"Did the old man run into something unclean?" the fourth brother asked in a low voice.
"How would I know? The old man travels to so many places every day, who knows where he might run into him?" said the fifth brother, Chen Chuan.
"Let's not talk about finding a sorcerer yet. We need to resolve tonight's matter first! Otherwise, we'll all die!" said Shen Baiwan's first wife.
“I’m not going anyway. I’d rather pay than go. My conscience won’t allow it! I’d rather die than go!” Shen Jie said.
"If Fourth Brother won't come to find the maid, I will! I'll go and find her, but after I find her, you brothers have to give me a reward for my hard work, otherwise I won't have any motivation, right?" Shen Chuan said.
"Alright, leave the people's affairs to Fifth Brother, but we still need to find a sorcerer to see what's wrong with the old man!" Shen Baiwan's first wife immediately made the decision, then told Fifth Brother to go and find someone, while she herself still needed to find a sorcerer with high magical power to come to the house...
"Jie'er, what should we do? Will we be punished by heaven?" After returning to her room, Shen Baiwan's fifth wife dismissed the maids and servants who served her, and then looked at her son and asked.
"Divine retribution? I'll fucking condemnation! The old man never liked us, mother and son, and preferred the others. Fine, since the old man likes them so much, wouldn't it be better to let them all go down and keep that old bastard company?" Shen Chuan said with a ferocious expression.
“Child, I feel your father isn’t biased; he’s very good to us, but you…” Shen Chuan’s mother said, looking at her son.
"Shut up! If it weren't for you! Would I be unable to hold my head up in front of these brothers? If it weren't for you! Would I be ridiculed for being the son of a maid? If it weren't for you! People would say that this son was born because his mother seduced his master into bed, and who knows if this maid had a lover outside, got pregnant, and made her master take the baby!" Shen Chuan pushed his mother onto the bed, completely ignoring her desperate pleas, and then...
"Brother Chuan, how's your luck today?" A thug came up to Shen Chuan, bowing and scraping obsequiously as he asked.
"Same as always, my family has plenty of money anyway, take it and have some fun, come find me if you need more!" Shen Chuan grabbed a handful of coins from his pocket and gave them to the thug, who thanked him profusely and left happily...
"Fifth Young Master is so generous! Come on, everyone, let's start betting! Bet on big or small, place your bets now..." Amidst the shouts, Shen Chuan, his eyes red, watched the dice cup flying up and down in his dealer's hand, shouting "Big, big, big..." at the top of his lungs.
"Fifth Young Master, take care!" The casino owner personally escorted Shen Chuan out of the gambling den. Shen Chuan even rewarded the owner with a few coins before leaving...
"who"?
"Shi Niang, it's me."
"Where have you been sneaking off to steal some meat, you rascal? Why are you only coming here now?"
"With you, my little vixen, where would I go to steal meat? I only went to the casino and touched it a couple of times."
"Hmph! Take your hand off me, you heartless bastard! You'd rather give your money to the casino than give it to me, and you still say you like me? I'm ignoring you now, hmph!"
"Hehe, my little darling, isn't what I gave you enough? If not, I'll give you another one, see if that's enough?"
"Oh no, oh no, I hate it, Brother Chuan, you're so mean..."
"Where is he? It's almost dark. Where is the person you were looking for? Didn't you say you could find him?" The family gathered together, watching Shen Chuan return alone, and they were getting impatient.
"The person will be here soon, but what about the money?" Shen Chuan asked the old woman he was visiting.
"Hmph!" The old woman snorted coldly, then handed a bag of shell coins to Shen Chuan. Shen Chuan took the bag, weighed it in his hand, and took a deep breath...
"Shen Chuan, what do you mean?" Shen Qin rebuked Shen Chuan directly upon seeing his flippant expression.
"Hehe, I'm telling you, big brother, is it wrong for me to smell the money? Don't you think so, auntie?" Shen Chuan asked, staring straight at his auntie.
"The money has been given to you. Hurry up and call the people over, or none of us will survive," Shen Baiwan's first wife said, ignoring Shen Chuan's words and glaring at him.
"Fifth Young Master, Fifth Young Master, I've brought what you asked for!" someone outside called out in a low voice.
"Look, it's been delivered!" Shen Chuan exclaimed proudly.
A man who looked like a thug arrived carrying a sack, gently placed it on the ground, and bowed to each of the distinguished guests around him.
Shen Chuan directly rewarded the scoundrel with some coins and then let him leave.
"Did you buy this? Or did you steal it?" Shen Qin asked, frowning.
"Isn't it the same? We're all going to die before tonight anyway," Shen Chuan said nonchalantly.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Now that we've found the person, let's start preparing. The old man will be back soon, everyone hurry up and get ready!" Shen Baiwan's first wife couldn't care less about anything else now. Her own life was the most important thing. As for whether she would suffer retribution, she didn't think that much about it. She just wanted to live now and enjoy the life of a wealthy lady that others envied.
The second and third brothers carried sacks into another room, untied them, and found a girl who looked to be only a teenager tied up inside. They exchanged glances, then carried the girl and began to dress her up and change her clothes...
Shen Baiwan wandered around his dozen or so shops, only returning home exhausted in the evening. But seeing his family's happiness, Shen Baiwan felt that all his hard work and fatigue were worthwhile.
At dinner, the lights in Shen Baiwan's house were on full display. The table was laden with countless delicacies, including rare and exquisite dishes and fine wines. His sons very respectfully toasted their father, and Shen Baiwan's wives also got along harmoniously. The whole family toasted each other, and with the father being kind, the sons filial, and the wives virtuous and harmonious, Shen Baiwan felt that this was paradise.
After dinner, Shen Baiwan closed his eyes and enjoyed the gentle massages from his five wives, listening to his son recount where he had been, what he had done, and how many business deals he had made that day…
That night, Shen Baiwan was awakened by his strange dream again. He dreamed that while taking a bath, he and one of his maids were having sex when he suddenly became a beast and devoured the maid bit by bit. The maid cried for help from inside his stomach!
Shen Baiwan wiped the cold sweat from his body, and as he was about to get out of bed, something on the bed blocked his way. Shen Baiwan looked down.
His eyes narrowed instantly. He hadn't even noticed when a naked girl was lying next to him! Shen Baiwan carefully examined her, then began to gently caress her youthful body, and then extended his tongue, which was more than a meter long, to roam over the girl's body...
Finally, Shen Baiwan closed his eyes on his blood-soaked bed and fell asleep contentedly...
Just then, the door opened softly, and a group of people came in and began cleaning up the room, which was filled with the smell of blood, as well as the long hair that was covered in blood and still had strands of hair soaked in blood...
