"Arrogant, it's really you! I'm so happy, I finally see you again, sob..." I threw off the cover abruptly and pounced on Arrogant, hugging Arrogant and crying tears of joy.
"Meow..."
Arrogant gently called out and used its furry small claw to pat my shoulder, then licked my hand to comfort me.
Seeing this, I realized that taoshi hadn't met Arrogant yet. I hurried to introduce Arrogant to taoshi, but when I turned around, I found that taoshi was not behind me. Instead, Pottery Sect Leader and Madame Tao had stunned expressions on their faces, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
I hurriedly approached Pottery Sect Leader while holding Arrogant and asked, " Pottery Sect Leader, where is taoshi? He was just behind me a moment ago, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"I don't know, we didn't see him either," before Pottery Sect Leader could respond, Madame Tao suddenly interjected, while secretly tugging at Pottery Sect Leader's sleeve and signaling him with her eyes not to speak recklessly.
"What kind of drama is this again?" I muttered to myself. But on the surface, I pretended not to have seen anything. I looked around, but still couldn't find taoshi. So I asked the Maoshan School disciple standing next to me. These people dared not speak. They all kept their heads down. No matter what I asked, they didn't answer.
After walking around in circles, I got angry and pointed at Pottery Sect Leader, asking, " Pottery Sect Leader, what's going on? Is the wedding still not happening? Is taoshi not marrying this young lady? If he doesn't marry her, he's out. Don't say this young lady doesn't keep her word."
"Marriage? Of course I will marry her. Taoshi just said he's feeling unwell and will be here soon. I and Old Tao will go urge him to take some medicine and come over to complete this final step, then we will rest together with you." Seeing this, Madame Tao seemed to have thought of the terrifying ghost beings, and that we need to complete the wedding ceremony to ward them off. She immediately pulled Pottery Sect Leader to go find Taoshi.
"Wait, stop right there. Let's see who dares to marry my woman." Before Pottery Sect Leader and Madame Tao could move, a cold and stern voice suddenly interrupted.
Upon hearing this voice, I was immediately frightened. It wasn't just anyone's voice, it was the voice of Shen Chen. So, I held onto Arrogant and didn't dare to turn around, pretending to be an ostrich and act as if I couldn't see him.
"Who are you to dare to meddle in the affairs of our Maoshan School?" The Pottery Sect Leader spoke first upon seeing this. He hadn't expected anyone to dare speak like this on Mount Maoshan. Of course, if Mei Susu were awake, he would have to endure it, but upon seeing that Shen Chen was just a stranger, he naturally didn't take him seriously.
"Leader, this person ignored our obstruction and forced his way in, and he has a gun in his hand. We didn't dare to use force, afraid that he would really shoot." At this time, several disciples of Mount Maoshan rushed in from behind and urgently reported to Pottery Sect Leader.
"What? How dare this audacious ruffian treat us like this, daring to openly come and snatch my daughter-in-law. Just wait, I won't have to deal with you myself, someone else will." Pottery Sect Leader, not at all afraid, suddenly smiled mysteriously.
I guess in his opinion, taoshi's ghost mother definitely wouldn't let anyone take away the woman his son likes. This way, he doesn't have to do anything himself. It's a clever way to use someone else to get rid of the problem, so that Shen Chen doesn't accidentally shoot someone. This is no joke.
"Pottery Sect Leader, I'm not unreasonable. Yuan Yuan and I have a one-month contract. It's not over yet, so she still belongs to me. After this month, whoever wants to marry her, I won't stop them. But for this month, she belongs to me, and no one is allowed to touch her. Otherwise, they'll have to deal with me, Shen Chen." Saying this, Shen Chen took out the contract I signed that day, showing it to Pottery Sect Leader, while also waving the dark gun in his hand.
Mount Maoshan disciples hurried forward to take the shameful contract and hand it to Pottery Sect Leader. I was so scared that I couldn't even think straight, but I rushed forward and snatched it away. In no time, I tore it to shreds, then swallowed it whole, giving Shen Chen a smug look as if to say, "Now what evidence do you have?"
"Yuan Yuan, you've been naughty again, haven't you? But it's okay, that was just a copy. There are plenty more here. Come on, everyone, take a look," Shen Chen said, producing a large stack of papers out of thin air and waving them at the crowd who were craning their necks to see.
This made me dizzy, almost fainting, but fortunately Shen Chen was just scaring me, and didn't actually let this contract spread out. He just took it out and waved it a few times, then took it back out of thin air, and then held my hand and said, " Yuan Yuan, if you're not obedient next time, I will publish these contracts and ruin your reputation, and no one will dare to marry you again."
"You shameless!" I was so angry that I could only call him shameless, and couldn't find any other words.
Pottery Sect Leader was also bewildered by a series of changes. His son first disappeared, then a man appeared claiming that I had set up some kind of one-month contract to sell myself and wanted to take me away. And lurking in the shadows was taoshi, the ghost mother, watching like a hawk. So Pottery Sect Leader doesn't know what to say now, just sitting in a chair in a daze.
After a long time, Pottery Sect Leader seemed to remember something, and with a self-assured sneer, he said, "In that case, take him away, as long as you can leave Mount Maoshan, hm?"
Yes, I almost forgot. Taoshi told me that Mount Maoshan is now a one-way entrance, no exit. No wonder Pottery Sect Leader is so confident. It seems that not even Shen Chen can stop me from marrying Taoshi today. Even though Taoshi is temporarily missing, I believe Pottery Sect Leader still intends for me to marry Taoshi and let Taoshi's mother leave Mount Maoshan.
Shen Chen responded with a faint smile, " Pottery Sect Leader, I am not unreasonable. I have disrupted your plans today, so I will compensate accordingly. My compensation will be to open the mountain barrier for you, allowing the disciples of Mount Maoshan to escape. Will this compensation suffice?"
"What, you say you can help me open the great formation of this sealed mountain?" Pottery Sect Leader suddenly stood up from his chair, incredulously asking Shen Chen.
"If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. Is the formation still blocking us now?" Shen Chen said calmly, without any expression on his face.
Pottery Sect Leader saw this and quickly reached out to pick one to try. Instantly, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. Just as he was about to speak, a woman's voice interrupted him. It was none other than the woman who had combed my hair. She giggled and said, "Hehe... Where did this bastard come from to ruin my good plan? I don't care who you are, I'll tell you, this woman's fate is still in my hands. I had previously planned her fate, intending to use her as bait to destroy the grudgeful ghost mother and son at Mount Maoshan. But Shi'er likes this woman, so I wanted to let her go. I planned to use a lock of her hair and a paper person to replace her, making the mother and son grudgeful ghost mistakenly believe it was her. Then, in seeking revenge, they would explode into the most terrifying energy in the world. Unfortunately, your appearance disrupted my plan and made me aware of this woman's lack of self-respect, actually willing to sell herself. So, even if my son likes her, I won't agree to him marrying this jerk. Hehe... I will now activate the mother-child grudges souls formation and let you all die here. Hehe..."
The terrifying laughter echoed in the air. I still couldn't see the woman's face, only feeling the chilling wind around me. It was the middle of summer, but it felt like the depths of winter, making me shiver with cold and fear. My legs went weak, almost causing me to fall, but Arrogant used his claws to support me and "meowed" to reassure me not to be afraid. I looked at Shen Chen, understanding that as long as Shen Chen was there, nothing would happen.
Shen Chen listened, and sure enough, paid no attention, just clapped outside the door, and the main hall was opened again. I saw Miss Yuan walking in with a romantic smile, holding the life insurance money I had been dreaming of.
"Hello, Miss Yuan, we meet again. I don't have anything special to give you, so I'll give you this life insurance money. I hope you like it." Before I could react and get angry, Miss Yuan quickly walked up to me and stuffed the life insurance money into my mouth. It was so fast and precise, I didn't even have a chance to resist.
However, it seems that Shen Chen did not intend to stop me. It looks like the method of taking the medicine is correct. I just never expected that after arguing with Yuan Qing for half a day over the life insurance money, it would end up in my hands. It seems that he was afraid I would report him, so while my mouth was stuffed with the life insurance money, he whispered to me, "Miss Yuan, please, please don't mention anything about the underworld, or I'll be in big trouble. I really didn't know our boss was going to give you this life insurance money. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have fought you for it. If you're not satisfied, we can negotiate privately, and you can set the terms."
Originally, I had planned to swallow the life insurance money and then tell Shen Chen to his face how Yuan Qing had fought with me for it, almost making me furious. But when I heard that I could set the terms, my eyes lit up, and I instantly nodded in agreement. Where else could I find such a good deal? After all, Yuan Qing's other identity is the king of the underworld, the brother of the Dark Lord. And when he took out many collars similar to the Arrogant one that day, I knew I was going to be rich. First, I need to ask him for a Space collar. It will be so convenient for storing things in the future.
I saw his eyes light up when he heard my words, as if he had guessed my inner thoughts. He immediately whispered again, "I always keep my word. As long as I can do it, I will help you get it done." After saying this, he seemed relieved and walked up to Shen Chen with a smile, saying, "Boss, everything is taken care of."
"Haha... it doesn't matter. After all, I don't have any deep grudges with this woman. My goal is to level Mount Maoshan. I've already activated the formation with a substitute technique. Even if she has life insurance money, I can't take her life on the spot. We'll all be blown up together later." The ghost being said indifferently after I mentioned life insurance money.
At the same time, as the words were just spoken in this gloomy wind, I saw two tornadoes suddenly appear in the main hall. Vaguely, I could see Big Cousin and Chubby inside the tornadoes, one large and one small, both giving me a cold smile, as if to say, "You're finished, you're doomed today."
Shen Chen still appeared fearless, saying calmly, "It's okay, it will take some time for this formation to activate. Pottery Sect Leader, quickly gather all the disciples of your Maoshan School and use your Maoshan School's secret technique to send them away separately. This will allow everyone to escape, and I will stay here to hold off these ghost beings for you."
Pottery Sect Leader was originally pale with fear, but as soon as Shen Chen spoke, he immediately perked up and gave orders. Shen Chen then stared solemnly at a certain corner of the main hall and gestured for Yanqing to go over.
Yanqing grumbled reluctantly, "Boss, I'm your lawyer, not a Taoist priest playing tricks. Besides, didn't you say you were going to delay? Why are you making me go?" Despite his words, he quickly walked to the corner and threw a talisman into the air.
In an instant, the talisman ignited on its own, and in a place that was previously empty, a terrifying figure appeared—surprisingly, it was...
