CHAPTER 956: CHAPTER 956: CANNOT BE DEFILED EASILY

An unusual event signals something monstrous; indeed, the mayor wanted to find a wife for his son.

But, his son was dead.

This so-called marriage was a ghost marriage.

As the name suggests, a ghost marriage is for those who are deceased.

Meanwhile, the mother and daughter finally reunited, only for the mayor to then want to take the daughter’s life, which the mother naturally opposed.

To protect her daughter, she ultimately died at the hands of thugs brought by the mayor.

The daughter was also executed by the mayor according to the words of a wandering priest before being paired with his late son in a ghost marriage.

Since then, the fence-enclosed courtyard had been devoid of life.

"The laundry woman earlier was clearly worried about the mother and daughter in the fence courtyard, while the waiter said they were already dead..."

Quan Jinbei’s expression carried a hint of speculation.

"Perhaps, the people in this Ghost Domain don’t have equal information."

Shi Yaoguang also thought so.

Afterward, the two changed their approach to gather information.

As expected, the results were just as they had thought.

The people in the town only knew that the mother and daughter in the fence courtyard were dead, and, out of worry for bad omens, nobody mentioned what happened there.

However, the women they first encountered still believed that the fence courtyard was occupied.

Moreover, in their impression, the mother and daughter were particularly fierce.

As for why this misunderstanding occurred, Shi Yaoguang quickly figured it out.

The reason was that... those women had a grudge against the mother and daughter in the fence courtyard.

In other words, an old enmity.

This matter had to be talked about starting from gossip among women.

While gossiping, they naturally talked about that mother and daughter.

Because the mother and daughter were both exceptionally beautiful, they had become enemies to most women.

People often spend more time looking at beautiful things.

Some men, while out, couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the mother and daughter.

To the women at home, this made the mother and daughter seem like vixens deliberately seducing people.

Because of this, they were scolded when they got home.

Those women knew that their men wouldn’t actually do anything inappropriate with the mother and daughter, which is why things didn’t escalate.

Even so, they still held a grudge against the seductive mother and daughter.

Whenever they got the chance, they would mock them as vixens, claiming they only knew how to seduce people.

Over time, even if everyone knew the mother and daughter were innocent, this fact would be quickly overlooked.

Thus truly placing the accusations and shame of harlotry on the mother and daughter.

Thinking of it this way, the mother and daughter were truly wronged.

Wo Hezhe also listened to the gossip and directly voiced his suspicion, "This Ghost Domain must have been created by that mother and daughter."

After speaking, he received no response, making him look at Shi Yaoguang, "Boss, do you think I’m right?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded casually.

He then looked to Quan Jinbei, receiving the latter’s response, "You don’t need to deliberately say something foolish to prove your lack of intelligence; even if you don’t, I already know you’re not smart enough."

Wo Hezhe: "..."

Hehe, the boss’s man is impressive indeed.

But wait, he, too, is a boss in his own right.

Not someone to be provoked.

After critiquing in his heart, he then laughed flatteringly, "Well, I am actually very useful; I can not only offer advice but also dispel this Illusion Realm in the Ghost Domain."

"You have a way?" Shi Yaoguang was indeed surprised.

Wo Hezhe assured, "I really have a way!"

Despite appearing cowardly before Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei, he used to refer to himself as "this one" when serving Lin Zifan as an attendant grandfather.

It’s a pity.

The glory of the past is gone.

But that doesn’t matter.

He believes that once he proves his ability, Shi Yaoguang will certainly put him to great use.

By then, hehe.

Whatever request a contributor might have, it must be fulfilled.

Wo Hezhe’s confidence influenced Shi Yaoguang.

Thus, he was given the opportunity to go into battle.

"Since you are so confident, I will give you a chance."

Shi Yaoguang said, gesturing with his hand, making his soul appear more solid than before.

Of course, this was just for show.

"You now look like a prime Evil Demon; go make contact with the demon behind the Ghost Domain owner. If you can persuade them to switch sides, it would be ideal, but it’s nothing extraordinary if you can’t."

Wo Hezhe: "..."

Saying it’s nothing extraordinary is just looking down on him!

Though he inwardly complained about Shi Yaoguang’s disdain toward people, he couldn’t show it outwardly, so he immediately grinned and said, "Don’t worry, boss, I guarantee to complete the task. Isn’t it just a Ghost Domain? I’ll break it in no time!"

With that, he drifted away.

Shi Yaoguang even let him take the of hiding ring, so he wasn’t afraid he wouldn’t return. If he dared to escape, she could easily eliminate the absconding Evil Demon.

Wo Hezhe clearly knew better, thus not considering escape an option.

He drifted to the outside of the fence courtyard.

Inside the courtyard lived a mother and daughter.

This mother and daughter appeared youthful, aligning with the known information.

"The guest has come from afar, why not come in?"

As soon as Wo Hezhe reached the entrance, a charming female voice called out to him.

He was startled.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the mother and daughter weren’t real people; seeing him wasn’t surprising, not seeing him would be odd.

Feigning nonchalance, he stepped inside.

He swept his gaze around, his expression suddenly changing.

On the table was a stone.

Of course, this was definitely not just an ordinary stone.

As an Evil Demon, Wo Hezhe could tell that this thing, like his ring, was a Magic Artifact for inhabitation.

Meaning, there was a demon hidden within this stone.

Wo Hezhe could clearly see that this stone was by no means inferior to his ring.

It put him to shame.

A bit displeased.

"My lord."

While Wo Hezhe was secretly feeling sour, a woman dressed like a matron walked over with a graceful figure.

"My lord, what are you thinking about?"

She spoke, swaying her hips, intending to sit on him.

Wo Hezhe was frightened by her sudden move and hurriedly retreated to maintain a distance.

"You, you stay away from me!"

He looked as if fearing his chastity may be compromised, "I came today to discuss something serious with you, can we keep a distance and talk properly?"

The woman listened to Wo Hezhe’s words, giggling, "My lord is joking, I have always been speaking properly with you."

"The one thing you seek by finding our mother and daughter is surely those things, rest assured my lord, I will certainly satisfy you."

Wo Hezhe chuckled.

He really wasn’t at ease.

That didn’t sound decent at all.

He feared his innocence might be lost here.

After all, he was a pure Evil Demon, and before meeting his destined Evil Demon, he was to remain chaste.

Couldn’t let himself be tainted by some random woman—oh no, ghost woman.
