Is This Local Tyrant Rich?
The Old Scholar Tree looked at them and said, "I just came to ask what's going on with this villa? I see there are quite a few houses here, are there many people living here?"
The camphor tree shook its head and said, "The owner of this manor is called Long Aotian. He keeps thousands of women, all of whom he seized."
The willow tree beside him added, "The others are all servants from the outer courtyard, probably several thousand people. He's the local tyrant here."
Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up:
"Is this local tyrant rich?"
This name is really powerful; I especially love names like "Long Aotian."
The camphor tree said, "Of course, I'm very rich!"
Zhou Wanwan continued, "Where is his storeroom? Where is the secret room? And where is the treasure?"
The trees were taken aback by the question, and after a long while, they all shook their heads and said:
"We really don't know, because this is the outer courtyard."
If you want to know, you'll have to go to the inner courtyard.
The Old Scholar Tree asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? How do I get to the inner courtyard?"
"Just go straight, then turn left, then go straight again, then turn left again, then turn right again, then turn right again, then go straight again, then turn left again, then turn right again, then go back, then..."
Before the camphor tree could finish speaking, the Old Scholar Tree interrupted him, "If you say another word, I'll slap you. Lead the way."
The camphor tree rolled its eyes and said, "I'm not you, how could I walk?"
Zhou Wanwan had already supplied her with energy, and the camphor tree slowly pulled its roots out, exclaiming, "Wow! See? See? I have legs! I have legs! I can walk! Wow, I can walk so fast!"
Old Uncle Scholar Tree rolled his eyes and said, "Take me to the inner courtyard."
The trees nearby were incredibly envious, so Zhou Wanwan simply donated energy to them.
Throughout the entire resort, dozens of trees were acting suspiciously, constantly heading towards the inner courtyard.
We have to stop every now and then because there are patrols here.
Zhou Wanwan looked at the patrolling people and said, "Hey! These people are really amazing! They're all on the Earth Ranking..."
Before she could finish speaking, the entire patrol team was divided up by the trees she had brought.
The trees, munching on the patrol team members, said, "They're really impressive. Wanwan has a good eye; I think I'm about to level up again."
The trees outside were startled and exclaimed, "You eat people? Wow! How scary, how scary!"
Several trees twisted, and the steward of the outer courtyard happened to come out. Seeing this, he was startled. "How come I saw these trees twist several times just now? Am I seeing things?"
The servant next to him quickly said, "You must be seeing things. Those trees are standing perfectly straight!"
There is a pine tree next to the path:
"This manager was an extremely wicked villain who killed many people."
Any slave who did not meet his standards was killed on the spot.
A willow tree curled up around the steward and said:
"I hate him the most. There was a little girl who was seven or eight years old before. She was so beautiful and cute."
As a result, he was dragged into the room by that old beast and later tortured to death.
Zhou Wanwan muttered under her breath, "You old beast, you pervert, you deserve to die."
The trees quickly led them into the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard was even more magnificent than the outer courtyard, with pavilions and towers one after another.
Zhou Wanwan immediately spotted several particularly precious medicinal herbs; these were rare finds that were hard to come by elsewhere.
The Old Scholar Tree simply collected all the medicinal herbs.
A pine tree nearby frowned and said, "What's the use of these junk? There are tons of them on the back hill."
Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. "Are there so many medicinal herbs planted on the back mountain?"
The old pine tree nodded and said:
"It not only has medicinal herbs, but also grains, vegetables, and fruits."
The servants in the manor are not allowed to go down the mountain, so all the food is grown by themselves.
Even the chickens, ducks, fish, and geese are all raised by ourselves; you can go see them for yourself later.
Zhou Wanwan nodded quickly. This number 93 on the Earth Ranking was too good to her; he had actually designed a paradise for her.
She was so touched.
Zhou Wanwan suddenly heard screams from inside the house, which startled her.
Zhou Wanwan stood on the Old Scholar Tree and looked inside. The house was brightly lit, but it looked like a living hell.
Several women were chained up, their clothes torn and their bodies covered in whip marks. Some were curled up on the ground, while others were exhausted from the pain and could only breathe weakly.
Long Aotian sat in the center of the pear wood chair, dressed in fine clothes. "Go and get some salt water, give them a good wash."
Washing a wound with this salt water would hurt so much!
Zhou Wanwan looked at a pear tree outside and asked, "Hey, brother, what's going on in here?"
The pear tree twisted its body and said, "How annoying! I'm not a brother, I'm a little girl, okay?"
Zhou Wanwan got goosebumps. "Young lady, what's wrong with these girls?"
The pear tree sighed and said:
"Isn't it because these girls wanted to run away?"
Anyone who disobeyed or tried to escape would be tortured to death; the methods he used were beyond imagination.
Pear Blossom Tree gossiped, "I'll tell you something, but you can't tell anyone else! This Long Aotian is actually a eunuch... hahaha..."
Sometimes, Zhou Wanwan felt that these trees were more gossipy than people.
Standing here every day is just too boring.
Zhou Wanwan said with interest, "Really? But looking at his face, something does seem off. Tsk tsk tsk... he's a psychopath."
"Yes, yes, it's extremely perverted. Sometimes they even cut out these girls' tongues and use them as a snack with their drinks."
Zhou Wanwan shuddered; this was indeed quite frightening!
Suddenly, Long Aotian looked directly at Zhou Wanwan and said, "I didn't expect a little mouse to sneak into my inner courtyard. But small as it is, it's quite cute!"
Zhou Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine; she hadn't expected Long Aotian to be able to see her.
Long Aotian was incredibly fast, rushing towards her at breakneck speed.
Before it even reached Zhou Wanwan, it was rolled into a ball by the Old Scholar Tree, with only its head peeking out.
The man's head was right next to Zhou Wanwan, about half a meter away. Zhou Wanwan patted his head and said, "Long Aotian, right! Oh my! You scared me to death."
Long Aotian wanted to bite someone. "You brat, just who are you?"
Zhou Wanwan calmly sat in Long Aotian's chair and said, "Wow! You know how to enjoy life. How come this chair is so comfortable?"
Long Aotian said speechlessly:
"The bottom is made of tiger skin, so it's naturally comfortable."
My Little Ancestor, please don't kill me, I know I was wrong.
Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Then do you know where you went wrong?"
"I've done everything wrong, please, spare my life!"
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Maybe not. I've got my eye on your estate; it's absolutely gorgeous."
