Chapter 21

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart started to pound frantically. The box! It must be what he was looking for! It’s no wonder he couldn’t find it even after looking for so long – it had already been taken away by someone else!

He thought that it was likely to have been taken by them since the trio had entered the Yun Manor a day earlier than they did. They must’ve already searched the entire Yun Manor. If there was anything related to the plot, they would’ve gotten to it first.

Just as he was hesitating how to bring up the matter with the woman, the Yun family suddenly entered the main hall. Several women surrounded the Old Madame as they walked inside; they quietly found their seats, turning a blind eye to the blood on the ground as well.

It was deep into the night, and outside the open gates of Yun Manor, everything seemed to have been enveloped by the night, the darkness swallowing the village whole. There was dead silence all around; their hearts were heavy with worry, uneasy with what was about to happen.

The housekeeper appeared out of nowhere again, his voice calm as usual, “The time has come........”

He had just finished speaking when there was a sudden clanging of gongs and beating of drums that sounded faintly in the distance. What was supposed to be festive and cheerful only sounded strange and eerie on this dreaded night.

Tang Mianmian couldn’t help but lean towards Xiao Tangqiu. Xiao Tangqiu’s eyes widened.

This was the very same scene he had seen in the coffin!

The sounds of the gongs and the drums got closer and louder; his heart jumped faster and faster. They must stop this ghost wedding!

But the question was..... how could he successfully prevent this ghost wedding from happening?

He could only take a gamble!

Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth, turned and walked towards the women of the Yun family. Tang Mianmian hadn’t reacted yet. The housekeeper suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Tangqiu, and said in a wooden voice, “The wedding banquet is about to begin. Please be seated.”

Without thinking, he raised a hand and pushed the housekeeper aside. And when the housekeeper tumbled to the ground, just as Xiao Tangqiu expected, he fell apart into many pieces like he had before. The womenfolk watched as the housekeeper split into pieces, their expressions unchanged, as though they hadn’t seen anything. That unwavering calmness chilled him to the bone.

If the former village chief couldn’t remember that he had already died, what about the Yun family womenfolk? Did they know that they were already dead?

Tang Mianmian immediately understood Xiao Tangqiu’s plan. As soon as he saw the housekeeper’s corpse pieces start to move, he ground his teeth and rushed forward, kicking the housekeeper’s head far away!

Luo Mansu looked at the both of them; he didn’t say anything but didn’t stop them either.

On the other side, Tang Mianmian found that the housekeeper’s head had rolled back on its own, so he fought off the nausea and kicked the housekeeper’s head far away again. This time, he kicked it out of the gates of Yun Manor directly, and the head was soon engulfed by darkness.

However, this was by no means the time to relax, because in the next instant, a few servant girls came in holding the bride!

The crowd immediately stood up, ready to act at any moment. Just as Xiao Tangqiu was considering whether or not to get rid of those servants as well, the woman holding the box suddenly moved. She took out a small knife and rushed towards the bride, swiftly plunging that knife into her chest in one move.

Xiao Tangqiu was startled by this sudden attack, but he soon realized something. Yes, he had been thinking about how to eliminate Fang Lan’s resentment, but they could’ve obviously taken a more direct approach, which was to eliminate Fang Lan altogether!

...... Wait! There seemed to be something wrong with this logic!

This was clearly all wrong!

The woman coldly said, “Fang Lan, you’ve been dead for a long time. Wake up! Instead of repeatedly torturing others and yourself out of hatred, isn’t it better to let go of your resentment resentment and reincarnate as soon as possible?! “

Fang Lan stood in her red wedding dress, staring in shock. Right then, she still looked human; she stared in a daze as the woman moved towards her, then, looked down at the knife stuck in her chest in disbelief. A moment later, her expression began to dramatically change. The surrounding atmosphere switched in an instant.

“Are you crazy?! Why the hell would you do that?!” Luo Mansu cried out nervously, “Fuck! She’s about to turn into an evil spirit!

The woman’s face contorted as she tried to retrieve her knife, but even after pulling at it twice, it didn’t budge. Seeing that Fang Lan had begun to change, she hurriedly abandoned the knife and fled back.

Fang Lan had completely transformed into an evil spirit. Her whole body was enshrouded within a black fog that was formed by the bitter resentment she carried. Her originally beautiful features turned indescribably hideous; her entire body was bloated and swollen; her facial features had twisted grotesquely, and there was also a foul, rotten smell emanating from her. Everywhere she went, she would leave behind a pool of putrid liquid.

She gazed hatefully at the woman as she slowly approached her.

Xiao Tangqiu used quickly thought of something, “Give me the box! I have the key!”

At such a crucial moment, he had no choice but to take a risk!

The woman turned to look at Xiao Tangqiu and seemed to hesitate for half a second. But at that point, Fang Lan was about to attack them, so she had no time to think about it. Moreover, the box was already in her hands and she really had no way to open it without the key. This sort of quest item couldn’t be opened by violent means; she could only look for the corresponding key if she wanted to open it. Grinding her teeth, she threw the box to Xiao Tangqiu.

As soon as Xiao Tangqiu grabbed the box, he quickly took out the key to open it. On the other side, the woman had actually brought out another small knife. Her two companions also took out their weapons. Although their weapons didn’t seem very impressive, compared to Xiao Tangqiu – this unarmed rookie -they were much better off.

Taking advantage of the delay, Xiao Tangqiu successfully opened the box. To his surprise, there were some letters in the box. He picked up one of them, looked at it carefully but felt that there was something strange about the whole thing – Fang Lan had actually written these letters to Zhou Hai.

“What’s inside? Hurry! Take it out! They won’t be able to hold on much longer!” Tang Mianmian lunged at Xiao Tangqiu and grabbed the letter in his hand, “A letter? Fuck it! We’ll just give it a try!”

Xiao Tangqiu, “Wait a........”

Before he could stop Tang Mianmian, Tang Mianmian had already summoned his courage and rushed towards Fang Lan. He stood a distance away and threw the letter at Fang Lan, as if he was throwing garbage.

Fang Lan, who was originally hostile, suddenly calmed down. She picked up the letter with fingers that were so swollen that they looked like they were stuck together. With her head lowered, she looked at the letter..........

She seemed to have calmed down. Tang Mianmian blinked in disbelief. Did it really come in handy?

Xiao Tangqiu murmured, “I have a bad feeling......”

Tang Mianmian, “Fuck my life! Not again?!”

Sure enough, Fang Lan’s expression calmed down for less than a second, and then, rapidly changed. Very quickly, her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred; the black fog of resentment around her roiled up with even more intensity!

Tang Mianmian’s face was full of despair, “Just tell me, were you a crow in your last life?”

Xiao Tangqiu laughed bitterly; Fang Lan had gouged out Zhou Hai’s eyes while he was still alive, which meant that she must’ve really hated Zhou Hai. How could she not be angry after seeing the letter she wrote to Zhou Hai?

Fang Lan hated the people of Yunjia Village; she loathed the Yun family. Naturally, she resented Zhou Hai, the man who abandoned her, as well.

“The BOSS in a rage! Run!” Xiao Tangqiu didn’t expect to have raised a death flag. Instead of killing the BOSS, he ended up angering the BOSS. He quickly threw away key and the box, pulled Tang Mianmian and ran with great abandon.

Luo Mansu didn’t need Xiao Tangqiu’s reminder; he prompty picked up Ding Tiantian and ran like the wind. The trio had fought for a while now, and knew that couldn’t defeat Fang Lan, so they turned heel and ran.

Xiao Tangqiu ran out of Yun Manor but he didn’t know where else to run to. Tang Mianmian ran as he cried, “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What are we going to do?! What are we going to do?!”

Xiao Tangqiu was close to tears as well, “I want to know too! There’s no way to play this game! There aren’t any hints at all. We finally found a quest item but it turned out to be a trap!”

Tang Mianmian burst into tears, “Damn trap! Fang Lan hates Zhou Hai so much. Why would she still keep those fucking letters?!”

Xiao Tangqiu was also about to say that those letters must’ve been brought into the Yun Manor before Fang Lan had died. But on second thought, after Fang Lan died, she could’ve destroyed all those letters. Why had she thrown away Zhou Hai’s skull and the key into the well?

As he was trying to figure out this puzzle, he suddenly smelled something rotten. He quickly stopped running, but it was too late. Somehow they had both unknowingly ran to the area near the restroom, and Fang Lan had actually climbed out of the well nearby!

The evil spirit in the red wedding dress crawled out of the well, all drenched, and fixed its resentful gaze upon Xiao Tangqiu who stood less than a meter away.........
