CHAPTER 955: CHAPTER 955: NO ELDER ABOVE, NO YOUTH BELOW

"Calm down, big guy!"

Wo Hezhe screamed, tugging at his soul body, "The Ghost Domain master has the Evil Demon to help him, their power is formidable. If you go like this, you’re definitely just delivering food!"

Shi Yaoguang ignored him and turned to persuade Quan Jinbei, "Why don’t you try to talk sense into the big guy!"

Quan Jinbei remained unmoved.

Wo Hezhe burst out angrily, "Did you even hear me? Don’t you realize that if you go like this, you’re heading straight to your deaths? It’s fine if you want to die, but I don’t want to!"

"If you’re really going to throw your lives away, then release me first! I don’t want to be the Evil Demon’s nourishment!"

"...#￥￥%#*&*&@#￥￥"

Exhausted from cursing, Wo Hezhe noticed that Quan Jinbei still didn’t react and couldn’t help but taunt, "You’re really useless, the big guy is already so formidable, and you? Can’t you be a good supportive partner?"

"A person as useless as you, the big guy will tire of you sooner or later. I advise you to listen to me and stop the big guy from going to his death, or else—"

Before Wo Hezhe could finish, he was slapped on the shoulder by Quan Jinbei.

A burning energy hit him.

Wo Hezhe was stunned.

He looked at Quan Jinbei with disbelief, screamed, and trembled, "What, what are you doing to me?"

"Wuwuwuwu—"

He howled ghostly, like a chastity-prized man who had been violated, "How can you do this to me? I don’t want to live anymore...!"

"Shut up." Quan Jinbei glanced coldly, "If you don’t want to live, I can send you to your death right now."

Wo Hezhe: "..."

Forget it.

Better to live shamelessly than to die well.

Seeing he finally kept quiet, Quan Jinbei calmly followed Shi Yaoguang’s footsteps.

Wo Hezhe was utterly desperate.

Do these two even know what they’re doing?

Do they know what courting death means?

Courting death is just that, courting death!

Thinking about the possibility of dying here because of them, Wo Hezhe felt exhausted.

He even started calculating in his mind how he might begged for his life to survive later.

Shi Yaoguang walked for over ten minutes and stopped at the entrance of a teahouse.

"Big guy, why did you stop?"

Wo Hezhe couldn’t help but ask, if one could survive, who would willingly march to death?

Maybe, the big guy had come to his senses and decided not to die.

Thinking like this, he became tremendously excited.

Unfortunately.

He overthought it.

Shi Yaoguang curled her lips, "I’m waiting for him to capture me."

Wo Hezhe: "..."

"Please, big guy? It’s not necessary, truly, it’s better to live shamelessly than to die well! Going to your death like this, can you face your parents who raised you? Aren’t you afraid of them grieving with heartbreak as they bury their child? Doing this..."

Shi Yaoguang interrupted him before he finished, "I’ve severed ties with my parents."

Wo Hezhe: "???"

"Big guy, are you kidding?"

How could you just sever ties so easily?

How could he be so unlucky to bump into someone with no attachments?

If the big guy had family, then wouldn’t be easier to convince?

Thinking of this, he changed his strategy, "Big guy, even if you’ve severed ties with your parents, it’s crucial to consider your child more!"

"If something happens to you here, what about your child? The little one waiting to be fed won’t get the chance to grow up to see their mom, can you bear this?"

Shi Yaoguang looked at him strangely, "You got it wrong."

"Huh?"

"If I die, the issue is not that my child won’t get to grow up to see me, it’s... that there’s no chance for the child to grow up at all."

Wo Hezhe finally looked at Quan Jinbei and asked, "Does the big guy have a child?"

Quan Jinbei glanced at him, "No."

Wo Hezhe: "..."

Goodness.

Shi Yaoguang is really someone without any weakness?

So, he was just dragged to death by such a person?

Thinking about it, he truly felt exhausted.

So perfectly okay.

Why was he so cursedly unlucky?

Life...always such an ordeal.

Shi Yaoguang ignored his sighs and stayed at the teahouse entrance for a while before being invited in.

"Customer, are you here for tea or a meal?"

Shi Yaoguang casually found a spot and sat down, "Tea."

"Alright."

The waiter turned around and brought a pot of tea, "Enjoy."

Shi Yaoguang took out two coins from her pocket, "Waiter, I’d like to ask you some gossip."

The waiter’s gaze fell on the two coins, and he nodded absentmindedly, "Ask away, ask away."

"As long as it’s something in this Baiyun Town, there’s nothing I don’t know!"

Shi Yaoguang nodded with satisfaction and casually inquired about matters regarding the fenced yard.

The waiter: "..."

He scratched his head, his expression became somewhat embarrassed.

Shi Yaoguang understood his meaning.

For information, there’s a price.

Shi Yaoguang pulled out a handful of coins, a quick scan showed there were at least thirty.

Money makes even ghosts turn millstones, and it’s even more effective on waiters.

Didn’t take long.

With money, he no longer felt embarrassed.

He immediately shared what he knew.

After hearing the waiter’s story, Shi Yaoguang finally understood the whole situation.

The Ghost Domain currently had a setting akin to the era of the Republic of China.

This point was clear from the fact she had used coins to tip the waiter.

As for why she had coins?

This required mentioning her stash.

Shi Yaoguang’s stash didn’t only have items from the Republican era, it even had ancient beast skins from prehistoric times, and if there was ancient, then naturally there was also interstellar.

Originally, after leaving the Quick Transmigration Bureau, these items were to be handed over.

Otherwise, if someone misused these items, it could possibly lead to apocalyptic consequences for the world.

Shi Yaoguang had no idea how she became the exception.

But understanding was not crucial.

After all, with the items in her possession, she could use them conveniently.

"You two should be cautious. That small courtyard, though picturesque, isn’t worth risking your lives for such a view."

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Thank you, waiter, we know what to do."

The waiter nodded back without saying more.

Quan Jinbei, with a grim look, discussed with her what the waiter said.

The fenced yard housed a mother and daughter, the mother being a martyr’s widow and the daughter a posthumous child.

Originally the pair lived well on the town, but due to the turbulent times, they inadvertently got embroiled in the war.

Coincidentally, a Warlord fancied the daughter and wanted to take her into his mansion. Reluctantly, under pressure, the daughter complied.

As the Warlord’s concubine, the daughter was not happy.

Not much later, the Warlord fell from power.

The concubine was dismissed back home, and the mother-daughter were reunited for only a few days before the daughter caught someone else’s eye again.

This time it was the town mayor wanting a marriage for his son.

Logically, a mayor’s son getting married should opt for a respectable, clean-background maiden, not a former concubine’s daughter...
