It was as if the rich and powerful families were full of trouble. The women in the deep mansions and large courtyards seemed to have nothing to do all day but playing tricks.

The most obvious example was the Qing palace drama now. It was as if the greatest meaning of the existence of this dynasty was to give the playwrights of the future generations a full display of their stage, eager to build it.

Those who had actually been to the imperial palace knew that from the perspective of modern people, the imperial palace was not very big. The imperial study in the imperial garden was also not big. It was such a small stage, it was really hard to imagine how those imperial concubines could perform.

However, what Zhou Ze did not expect was that there was such a beautiful and tragic love drama in this haunted house deep in the mountains. It wasn’t that Zhou Ze didn’t think that the bride could lie to him. After taking him out, she could immediately shout and he would instantly be ambushed from all sides.

However, he could only hope for the best. If he didn’t believe her, what else could he do? Go home just like that? After urging the bride to put on her clothes, Zhou Ze left the wedding room with her.

When Lawyer An, who was watching from the pavilion outside, saw that Zhou Ze and the bride had come out, he thought that it was a success. Now that he had found Little Loli, everyone could go home and happily plant the resurrection lily and enjoy the fun of plucking vegetables.

When he got closer, he realized that the girl was not Little Loli. How was this Little Loli? Has she undergone plastic surgery?

“It’s not Little Loli?” Lawyer An asked.

“It’s not her.”

“Then bring her out…” Lawyer An found it hard to understand. Why would Zhou Ze bring her to him if it wasn’t Little Loli who was brought out?

“She knows where Lin Ke is.” Zhou Ze said.

“Superior Officer, come with me. My husband usually sleeps in his room at this time and won’t wake up. Today is our wedding, and he didn’t wake up. So, we have to hurry. Once my husband wakes up, he will go to that vixen’s place.”

Lawyer An and Zhou Ze looked at each other and followed the bride around the corner. They did not meet many people along the way. After making many turns, a small courtyard appeared in front of them. Behind the small courtyard was a rock wall. They should be at the end of this underground building.

“Boss, this place doesn’t look like it was built by ghosts. It doesn’t look like a mausoleum either. Who do you think is so bored to come here to build all this?”

“If you want to know, you can contact the archaeological team to dig this place up after you get out.”

Lawyer An shrugged when he heard this. Wasn’t bringing the archaeological team here was like courting death? Once such a ghost nest was dug up, it would be more terrifying than the curse of Tutankhamun in Egypt.

“Superior Officers, that little vixen is inside.” The bride pointed at the courtyard and said. As if to prove that she was there to fight for her love, the bride took the initiative to walk in.

She pushed the door open. Zhou Ze and Lawyer An followed in. They found a bed in the inner room. A girl was lying on the bed wearing modern clothes. Who else could it be but Little Loli? However, Little Loli was lying on the bed motionlessly as if she was asleep.

“My husband has placed a restriction seal on her and she can’t wake up now. You officers can take her out now. It’s getting closer to the time when my husband will wake up.”

Zhou Ze signaled with his eyes. Lawyer An immediately walked over to the bedside and picked up the motionless Loli. “Damn, she must be eating and drinking well these days. She’s quite heavy.”

“The same as you?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Boss, if you say that again, I’m going to throw up. Come and carry her.” Lawyer An was very helpless. He decided to go to the hospital to have his stomach pumped after he left. The three of them walked to the entrance of the small courtyard carrying Little Loli out.

The bride immediately knelt down to Zhou Ze and Lawyer An, “Thank you for coming to rescue us!”

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An looked at each other. Originally, this was a very troublesome matter. This straightforward bride had suddenly made it simple. Without her leading the way, it would have been impossible for Zhou Ze and Lawyer An to roam around and find this place without being discovered.

It made Zhou Ze and Lawyer An feel a little embarrassed. Lawyer An hugged Lin Ke, but he still nodded and said, “Thank you for your righteous help, little wife!”

Then, Lawyer An said, “Being jealous is not a good thing, little wife. You haven’t liberated women yet, right? I feel that you, as an older woman, …” Before Lawyer An could finish his nonsense, a short figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

The moment he appeared, the temperature began to plummet! The bride who was kneeling on the ground immediately stood up in a panic. Her expression changed when she saw the short figure who looked like a little boy.

She immediately cried out like a pear blossom ribbon, “Husband, save me! These two flower pickers suddenly barged in. They threatened me and my sister to leave with them. I knelt on the ground and refused to obey. I begged them. It would be fine even if they took me away but they must leave my sister behind. I know that my sister is your true love. I would rather sacrifice myself. I don’t want to see my husband sad because he lost my sister!

The husband sighed.

“…” Zhou Ze.

“…” Lawyer An.

This was why women were born to be dramatic, especially when it was a female snake spirit. This godd*mn quick transformation was just like a Sichuan Opera.

The little boy was wearing a small suit. He didn’t look like the boss of a ghost lair, but more like a young master from a rich family. At that moment, the little boy’s gaze first fell on Zhou Ze and Lawyer An. Then, it fell on Little Loli in Lawyer An’s arms.

The little boy’s anger rose in an instant and his eyes turned red. His feet began to leave the ground. Only the tips of his feet were still touching the ground.

He charged straight towards Zhou Ze. Just by looking at the spot where the tips of his feet made contact with the bluestone slabs, one could tell just how fast he was!

“Old An, take Lin Ke and leave first. I’ll stop him!”

Zhou Ze was a person who hated to show off the most. He knew that this little boy might look small, but to be the boss of this ghost lair, he must be high level. He must be at the same level as what Lawyer An had teased him before. He must be at the level of an old demon from Black Mountain.

At this time, he could not hesitate so much. Zhou Ze was somewhat regretful. He had been lazy just now and did not carry the unconscious Lin Ke by himself. Otherwise, the one who would say, “You go first, I’ll stop him.”, would be Lawyer An instead of himself. He could not snatch Lin Ke from Lawyer An’s hands right now and shout for him to cover the rear, right?

Of course, Zhou Ze hoped that Lawyer An would be able to display the fine traditional style of leading the retreat first if necessary at this time. He hoped that Lawyer An said that he would cover the rear and let Zhou Ze leave first. If he said so, Zhou Ze would agree immediately!

However, Lawyer An suddenly became uncharacteristically obedient. Without any hesitation, he carried Lin Ke and started to slip away from the back. His speed was not much slower than the little boy who was rushing over.

Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An’s back with some disappointment. He turned his head and the little boy seemed to reach him already. Zhou Ze couldn’t avoid it.

Let’s do it! “Coffee!”

Zhou Ze crossed his hands. Ten strands of black fog instantly rose up and blocked the little boy. When the little boy saw Zhou Ze’s fingernails, he was slightly surprised. However, he didn’t slow down at all. He rushed forward!

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!”

The black mist emitted from Zhou Ze’s fingernails like a whip as it fiercely lashed onto the little boy’s body.

However, the little boy’s body was so hard. It was shocking because he did not dodge at all. He directly smashed through ten strands of black mist and forcefully rushed in front of Zhou Ze.

“Swoosh!” With a flash, he directly soared into the air. He opened his mouth and aimed to bite down on Zhou Ze’s neck!

Zhou Ze quickly retreated. At the same time, he waved his ten fingernails at the boy’s face. Perhaps it was Zhou Ze’s fingernails that caused the boy to feel some fear, but his body slowed down in the air for a moment. Then, his small body made a spin. His feet came together, directly kicking towards Zhou Ze.

“Armor!” Zhou Ze let out a low shout. The warrior armor that had not been used for a long time and had always been forgotten at critical moments appeared. It instantly covered Zhou Ze’s body.

“Bang!”

However, the kick still hit him. Zhou Ze retreated more than ten steps and barely stood up. The armor on his chest was already sunken beyond recognition. Damn it, the armor of the Japs was just like the cars of the Japs. It could not withstand a collision.

After a series of attacks, the little boy stopped where Zhou Ze was standing just now. His gaze fell on Zhou Ze’s fingernails. A faint smile seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth.

“Husband, you’re finally here. I was scared to death just now.” The bride hugged the little boy’s leg and began to sob. This Ghost King was a little boy. It was no wonder that the girls he married and was interested in were all little girls. Lin Ke had the body of a little girl and was a lady. She was probably the little boy’s type so he simply moved on to her. The little boy lowered his head slightly and looked at the bride who was hugging his leg.

“Scared to death?” He asked.

“Yes, I was scared to death just now. I was really… Ahhhhh!!!”

The little boy grabbed the bride’s head with one hand. Amidst a series of screams, the bride’s body began to twist. She turned into a black snake that was seven inches long. The black snake’s tail was shaking and struggling desperately as if it was begging. Her body exploded in the next moment.

The little boy shook his hand. He was holding a snake gall in his hand. He raised his head and opened his mouth. He threw the snake gall into his mouth. Then, while chewing on his wife’s snake gall, he smiled at Zhou Ze.

He asked, “You’re a zombie too?”
