After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 171

Chapter 171: The Missing Corpse
“Our kind of fiendish spirits that have lived for thousands of years, we value face the most. We all consider ourselves the big brothers of the fiendish spirit world. As long as we grasp that, we won’t worry about not being able to kill it,” the evil spirit said proudly. “See, I told you I know its lifeblood.”

It hadn’t lived in vain!

Tang Qing looked at it speechlessly. It also knew about face, but with its current appearance, it would only bring shame to the fiendish spirits if it went out.

Of course, Tang Qing wouldn’t remind it of this fact. Instead, he looked at Zhouzhou and presented another challenge. “That Thousand-Year Ancient Demon is extremely cunning and skilled at hiding. It won’t come out easily.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen into its trap.

“No problem, if it doesn’t come out, we’ll lure it out,” Zhouzhou said, shaking her little head. She had gone fishing with her grandpa a few days ago, and he had taught her this principle. No matter how deep it was hidden, as long as the bait was big enough, even a thousand-year-old monster could be lured out.

But where to find such bait?

Zhouzhou’s gaze swept past the evil spirit, and her eyes flickered. She deliberately sighed, propping her chubby little hand against her cheek, her eyebrows furrowed in worry. “If it values face, we can find someone more powerful than it to flaunt in front of it. That should provoke it to come out. I just don’t know where to find someone more powerful.”

Upon hearing this, the evil spirit perked up its ears, puffed out its beer belly, raised its chin, and thought, isn’t she talking about itself? It was powerful and capable! It could definitely take on this important task!

Look at me, look at me! Hurry up and notice me!

However, as they glanced around, they didn’t even spare it a glance.

The evil spirit became anxious and couldn’t hold back any longer. It jumped out and said, “Me! Me! I’m much more powerful than it. Let me go, and it will definitely be consumed with jealousy and come out in a rage!”

“You?” Zhouzhou looked at it suspiciously, still hesitant and worried. “But that would be very dangerous. Aren’t you afraid?”

“What is there to be afraid of?” The evil spirit waved its hand indifferently. “Back when I roamed the world, it didn’t even know where it was hiding. Humph, just a small fry.”

The evil spirit boasted about itself, which wasn’t entirely false. It used to be a terrifying existence that made people tremble at the mere mention of its name. It had thought it would have the opportunity to make a comeback this time, but unexpectedly, it encountered Zhouzhou.

Face was indeed important, but it wasn’t an old stubborn fiendish spirit. As spiritual beings, they had to be flexible and adaptable to survive. Moreover, it had also learned how to enjoy delicacies and spiciness!

Thinking about this, it became spirited again, eagerly looking at Zhouzhou, rubbing its hands together, and asked, “Um, Little Heaven Master, if I help you, can you burn me some money?”

It also wanted to experience a luxurious lifestyle, find a spiritual being to serve it, giving it massages and rubbing its back. Then, it would massage its Ancestral Master and earn twice the money!

It made grand plans, unaware of Mu Xuan’s sympathetic gaze directed at it.

It also didn’t know what its Ancestral Master had said to him, making it even more foolish than before.

The Ancestral Master didn’t say much, just instilled the idea that all the hard work today was for the sake of living a comfortable life a hundred years from now.

The evil spirit, recalling its many years of hard work, felt that it was time to settle down.

So now it was starting to make an effort.

The saying “money makes the world go round” was not just an empty phrase.

Zhouzhou glanced at it, beckoning it to bend down, and then patted its shoulder with her small hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll give it to you. We are all workers of the Ancestral Master, after all.”

As she spoke, the little girl sighed as if she were an old woman, and she wiped her plump face, gathering a handful of bitter tears for her miserable life.

She was only four years old, but she was already burdened with such heavy debts. She didn’t know when the golden light on her Ancestral Master would be paid off.

Thinking about it, she looked at the evil spirit with envy and said, “It’s great, you’re making an effort for yourself. Unlike me, I’m only working to repay my debts, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to pay them off.”

Upon hearing this, the evil spirit suddenly felt taller. They were both in the same boat, but it was slightly better than Zhouzhou!

Feeling superior, it comforted Zhouzhou, “Don’t worry, with me here, I’ll help you. One day, you’ll be able to live a good life too.”

“Okay!” Zhouzhou nodded with determination.

Seeing that she had originally fooled the evil spirit but ended up getting herself tangled in it as well, Wen Jing looked at her with a smile and said, “I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou was delighted. “Sister Marvelous! Do you not have anything important to do?”

She remembered that Sharp Tongue Uncle and the others were quite busy, always going out.

Wen Jing shook her head. “There’s nothing important during this time. It’s a good opportunity for me to accompany you.”

This was also the boss’s request.

Hearing this, Qin Lie glanced at her, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

Unaware of the situation, Zhouzhou happily nodded.

After discussing their plans, it was already 8 o’clock in the evening. To make things more convenient, Mu Xuan and Tang Qing decided to stay here for the night, while Wen Jing stayed in the neighboring room.

Rubbing her eyes, Zhouzhou said, “Okay, Sister Marvelous, let’s settle it like this. See you tomorrow.”

After speaking, she was picked up by Qin Lie, her head tilted, resting on his shoulder. In a matter of seconds, she fell asleep, her small mouth slightly open, making a soft snoring sound.

Seeing this, Wen Jing chuckled and raised her hand to flick her heavenly bun. It was so addictive.

But she also noticed Qin Lie looking at her, so she glanced back at him.

Their eyes met, and she couldn’t help but narrow her eyes.

This dad of Zhouzhou was quite guarded against her.

Why was that?

However, before she could figure it out, Qin Lie carried Zhouzhou back to the room.

Watching his figure for a while, she suddenly heard some commotion from the next room. Her expression turned serious, and she quickly walked over. Seeing Ye Lingfeng with an extremely unpleasant expression and blood stains on his hands, emanating a murderous aura, she furrowed her brows and quickly approached Chen Tuo, asking in a low voice, “What’s going on?”

Chen Tuo didn’t speak, he shook his head. It wasn’t until Ye Lingfeng entered the room that he whispered to Wen Jing, “The boss originally wanted to relocate his sister-in-law’s grave today, but he found out that her grave had been dug up.”

What?

Wen Jing was shocked, her pupils shrinking. No wonder the boss reacted like that.

“Where is your sister-in-law’s body?”

Chen Tuo shook his head. “Don’t know. It’s gone when they opened the coffin. Empty.”

Originally, Ye Lingfeng wanted to relocate An Ya’s grave as soon as he returned, but he was delayed by finding a suitable feng shui site. He didn’t expect to be a step too late, and this happened.

Wen Jing also felt uncomfortable hearing this. “Do you know who did it?”

“Don’t know, but it’s probably the Ye family. Those people have such loose lips. The boss even disassembled Ye Lingran’s bones, but he still refuses to admit it.” Chen Tuo recalled the scene just now, his face filled with disdain.

His sister-in-law was the boss’s only bottom line, but the Ye family always had to court death.

Is that so?

Wen Jing slightly narrowed her eyes, her brows furrowing. Something didn’t seem right.

Based on her understanding of the Ye family, they were nothing more than a bunch of selfish ghosts who prioritized their own interests. Ye Lingran was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Just based on his reaction last time, she knew that.

But if it wasn’t them, then who could it be?
