“I say! Has the Sandlizard Queen died in her womb? It has been so long since she came out …”

Li Tingyu stared at the inverted fish tank with suspicion on her face. The Queen’s egg stood quietly in it, but there was no movement since it cracked a crack. Chen Guangda said with no interest, “It doesn’t matter! If it can come out, tie it up with chains as a hostage. If it dies, dig a hole and bury it!”

“Jiang Shilin! You’re not going back to the escort agency tonight …”

Li Damei walked out of the kitchen with two plates of hot dishes. Jiang Shilin, who was smearing her fingernails, hurriedly ran up to help and said, “What are you going back to? Their vice-chief escort leader didn’t know what to do. He suddenly ordered all the relatives and friends of the escort to stay at the escort agency and no one to come in or out after closing the door at night. What can I do if I don’t come back and see the ghost?”

“Hehe ~”

Chen Guangda laughed sinisterly and said, “I tricked them this afternoon to say that Sha Lifei was going to hit Liu. He probably scared Big Senior Brother Duan Shuiliu. He was afraid that the people from the escort agency would go out and talk nonsense and cause trouble!”

“Ziwen! We’re coming in …”

Suddenly! Someone shouted in the courtyard. Seeing Lyu Xiahui and his wife walk in on the afterglow of the sun, they picked up a statue of Second Master Guan and said, “Ziwen! The more I think about it at home, the more worried I become. But I know that you are not religious, so I went to the temple to invite Second Master Guan over for you. With him, I will definitely be fine!”

“Master Lu! Why are you even more worried than me …”

Chen Guangda greeted him with both laughter and irony. He truly did not expect him to be so warm-hearted. After Lyu Xiahui placed Second Master Guan seriously on the old shrine at the corner of the room, he forcefully pulled him to bow a few times before walking back to his wife’s side at ease.

“Let me introduce you. This is my escort agency’s master, Lv Liang, and his wife, Fan Muqing. This is my wife, Li Cuo, and a few of her best friends …”

Chen Guangda smiled and introduced them. Who would have thought that Lu Xiahui would say, “Ziwen! You really can’t let down your guard. If only a few people died, it could still be said to be a coincidence. However, this place has lost more than a hundred people. It can’t be said to be a coincidence anymore. Even if you are not afraid, you must consider it for your daughter-in-law!”

“Master Lu! Let me tell you the truth. Someone is causing trouble in this place …”

Chen Guangda shook his head with a bitter smile. He roughly told them what happened last night, but Lu Xiahui patted her thigh and said, “Then you can’t stay here. A living person is even more terrifying than a living corpse. Listen to your master’s advice. Come to my house tonight and sleep. Come and move early tomorrow morning. You can’t delay any longer!”

“All of you, come. I’ve packed the guest rooms for you …”

Fan Muqing hurriedly nodded as well, but Chen Guangda helplessly said, “You guys have seen so many people outside, right? I made a bet with them that they can’t leave this place, and they won’t let us go. Why don’t we move tomorrow? It doesn’t matter for one night!”

“Aiya ~ Why do you want money but not your life …”

Lyu Xiahui pointed at him angrily, but seeing so many people poking around outside, he didn’t have a good idea. He could only sigh and say, “Alright then! You guys can move back in the morning, but you must sleep in the living room tonight. Second Master Guan will protect you. Remember this!”

“Is it alright for me to sleep in their house …”

Jiang Shilin hurriedly took a step forward. Chen Guangda could only wave his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Without another word, Fan Muqing held Jiang Shilin and walked out. Even Lu Xiahui, who was sighing, hurriedly followed behind. Li Damei smiled and said, “Your cheap master is not bad. He actually cares so much about you. It’s rare to see such a person!”

“What a pity! Such a person really shouldn’t live in such a damn place …”

Chen Guangda looked at Lu Xiahui’s back and gently shook his head. He turned around and brought a few people to sit down for dinner. However, just as he finished eating, Fifth Brother stood up and said, “I have a premonition that that person should have only come to observe last night. I’m afraid that he will really make a move tonight, so we’d better be careful. I’ll go guard the backyard all night.”

“There are no fewer than a hundred people gathered outside. If that person dares to come tonight, it will prove that there must be a tunnel below. Pay more attention to your feet …”

Chen Guangda took a deep look at Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother nodded and went straight to the back door. However, Li Tingyu said, “I didn’t feel anything, but what I said to your cheap master made me a little nervous. I don’t think we should sleep tonight. We’ll just move out after tonight!”

“What are you afraid of? We’ve already charged through the Blade Mountain Flame Sea. Are you still afraid of a few pretentious fellows? I really want to see why they’re doing this …”

Chen Guangda rolled his eyes at her with disdain. Li Tingyu could only pout dejectedly and directly pulled Colleen to the bathroom to wash up. Chen Guangda then said, “Da Mei! You guys can rest assured tonight. I’ll be on duty outside personally. Nothing will happen to you!”

“If you and Fifth Brother can’t even hold on, then even if the gods and immortals come, they won’t be able to save us. I might as well rest assured and take a nap …”

Li Damei shook her head nonchalantly. After tidying up the dishes and chopsticks, she also went to the bathroom to wash up. Chen Guangda was not idle either. He went out to check all the alarm devices. After thinking for a while, he made a simple gas mask. If someone else released poisonous smoke or something, he could block it.

“Bang Bang Bang …”

Suddenly, two bangzi sounds came from outside the door. This was a warning from the patrol team that it was ten o’clock in the evening. Because most people in this place did not have any timing tools, they could only hear bangzi sounds at night to know what time it was. That was why an ancient profession like this would reappear in the mortal world.

Coincidentally, Chen Guangda also clapped his hands and stood up from the old well. In order to prevent anyone from coming up from the well, he simply used stones to plug the well. When he entered the house, he moved another scarecrow against the window. It looked like he was dozing by the window from the outside. If someone wanted to attack, they would definitely attack the unlucky scarecrow first.

“Hu ~”

Chen Guangda finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing all this. However, when he laid on the window and looked out, he discovered that the elders and aunts outside were still in high spirits. They were either gathered under the kerosene lamp to play cards and brag, or excitedly discussing something. It seemed that they were all waiting for tomorrow morning to carve up their belongings.

“Just wait and cry …”

Chen Guangda curled his lips in disdain and directly picked up his saber and walked towards the back hall. From the sound, the three women should be asleep. Li Tingyu’s grinding sounds could be heard through the door, and Jin Maolin would occasionally play with her in her dreams, as if she was dreaming again.

“Huh?”

Chen Guangda suddenly noticed that the oil lamp in their bedroom was still on. He immediately walked up in surprise and gently pushed open the door. Who knew that Li Damei was still sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair. She smiled happily and didn’t know what she was happy about. He asked, “Damei! Why aren’t you sleeping yet? Can’t you sleep?”

“Darling! I have some good news for you. I’m pregnant …”

Li Damei put down the wooden comb in her hand and looked at him with a smile from the mirror. However, Chen Guangda’s expression suddenly changed. He frowned and said, “Big Mei! Don’t joke! You know what’s wrong with me. How could you be pregnant?”

“What? Don’t you want to recognize this child? He’s your flesh and blood …”

Li Damei’s expression suddenly turned cold, and her eyes became filled with killing intent. This unfamiliar appearance immediately shocked Chen Guangda. After carefully staring at her back, he said, “Are you alright? It’s not a time for jokes. Hurry up and go to bed, okay?”

“Let me ask you! Do you recognize this child?”

Li Damei suddenly slapped her desk heavily and suddenly stood up and turned around. Unexpectedly, Chen Guangda took a deep breath. Li Damei’s belly bulged up like a pregnant woman in the ninth month of pregnancy. He immediately raised his hand and stuttered, “You … Don’t be impulsive, I… I admit that I will definitely recognize this child!”

“Hehe ~ Then come and touch him. The little scoundrel is kicking me …”

Li Damei’s expression instantly eased up. She caressed her belly with pity, but Chen Guangda’s back had already been soaked in cold sweat. He never expected that he would underestimate the might of this peerless mansion. There was indeed something strange inside that he hadn’t expected.

“Li Tingyu! Get up, hurry up …”

Chen Guangda stealthily took half a step back and desperately shouted to the other side. Even now, he did not believe in haunts. There must be a mutated zombie here that he had never seen before. Only Li Tingyu, the zombie radar, could discover any clues at this time.

“What are you doing? Are you still thinking about that little fox spirit? I’m pregnant with your child …”

Li Damei suddenly roared angrily. Her expression was even more ferocious to the point of being terrifying. However, the door behind her was suddenly opened. She saw Li Tingyu and Colleen walk out directly. However, Chen Guangda realized that something was amiss when he wanted to speak. There was actually a gloating sneer on their faces.

“Sister Fangfei! We’ve already told you that this stinking man is a heartless man. He just wants to play with you …”

Li Tingyu crossed her arms and walked over. Looking at Chen Guangda’s ceaseless sneer, Colleen even spoke in a dense Northwest dialect with contempt, “That’s right! If he really wanted to be with you, he wouldn’t have been sneaking around with you all this time. Just kill this stinking man!”

“Speak! Are you playing with me or not? You promised me that you would take me away …”

Li Damei pointed fiercely at Chen Guangda, her twisted expression almost devouring people. However, Chen Guangda froze on the spot and was sweating like rain. He had thought that he had encountered a big-headed ghost, but the illusion that the big-headed ghost had created had always been one-sided. It would never cause these inexplicable things to happen if they fought directly.

“Fangfei! You misunderstand me. I love you, I really love you …”

Chen Guangda forced out a smile and directly opened his arms to Li Damei. Li Damei’s expression softened again and nodded her head with great emotion. However, the back door was suddenly kicked open by someone. Seeing Old Fifth raise his saber and shout, “Liu Fangfei! You dare to steal a man! I will definitely kill you all today!”

“Shit!”

Chen Guangda’s expression changed drastically. Even the calmest fifth brother was hit. Li Damei immediately cried out in alarm and rushed over to let him leave. However, her clothes suddenly loosened. A black sand lizard egg rolled out of her abdomen and smashed to pieces with a “pa pa pa” sound.

“Child! My child …”

Li Damei immediately squatted down in panic. Unexpectedly, a green light shot out from the broken eggshell and fiercely hit her arm. A loud rumble echoed in Chen Guangda’s mind. Li Damei was actually bitten by the newly shelled Sandlizard Queen.
