That Couple's Ability to Pretend to Be Poor Was Truly the Best Under Heaven!

Just as the Black and White Twin Fiends were about to make their move, they were suddenly entangled by some vines.

The woman in white sneered, "You think you can trap us with some tattered vines? You're being incredibly naive."

But she suddenly realized that she couldn't move at all.

The man in black, his face filled with panic, cried out, "What is this thing? I can't break free!"

The Old Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor each took one and dragged them away.

Now they've learned their lesson and didn't take direct action. Old Scholar Tree led Zhou Wanwan directly to the lair of the Black and White Twin Fiends.

The lair of the Black and White Twin Fiends was frighteningly close to the manor.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Old Scholar Tree can reach the depths of a desolate, dense forest.

When Zhou Wanwan saw the lair of the Black and White Twin Fiends, her lips twitched. "Wait, you two usually live in this thatched hut? I really admire you."

The thatched hut was low and simple, with mud walls and a thatched roof. It looked dilapidated and no one would give it a second glance if it were left by the roadside.

The woman in white smiled faintly and said:

"Little girl, to be honest, we're both pretty poor, and we can't afford anything nice."

That's why I thought of robbing others. Please, have mercy and let us go!

The man in black also knelt down on the ground:

"Don't let our status as Earth Ranking experts fool you. Every month, I use my earnings to buy a lot of grain and donate it to disaster victims."

So it looks like we're rich, but we're actually dirt poor.

The woman in white cried even harder.

"I am a truly kind man. You all don't know this. Whenever I see a beggar, a poor person, or an orphan, I think about taking them in."

I suffered terribly following him, oh my god! I'd rather be dead."

Zhou Wanwan walked to the thatched hut, she heard the roadside weeds laughing so hard they seemed to be bending over backward.

The purslane plant laughed the loudest:

"This is absolutely hilarious! That couple's ability to pretend to be poor is truly unparalleled!"

They've fooled several people with this trick. Last time, a burly man came looking for them with a knife.

They both knelt on the ground, crying with snot and tears streaming down their faces, saying they couldn't even afford a decent meal.

The burly man actually believed him in the end, threw down two copper coins, and left.

A beggar-ticks plant couldn't help but interject, "We've been guarding this yard for years, but we've never seen them come inside."

A foxtail grass nearby, I asked curiously:

"I wonder how much gold and silver they hid."

Where exactly are all those rare treasures, land deeds, and house deeds hidden?

The old elm tree beside it spoke up:

"The couple's valuables must be hidden in the mountains over there."

Because I've seen them coming down from the mountains several times.

The couple were still feigning pitifulness, and the woman pleaded desperately:

"Long Aotian, we are both experts on the Earth Ranking, there's no need for us to fight to the death."

I still have some valuables; I'll give them all to you later. Just ask your master to release us!

Long Aotian kept a straight face and remained silent.

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "Let's go! Let's go for a walk in the mountains over there."

The woman's expression changed, and she asked, "What's so good about this mountain?"

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "I love the mountains. Let's go for a walk. I'll treat you to some wild game."

The woman pursed her lips. Had she encountered a fool?

The man frowned, equally bored; it was just a child.

The couple exchanged a glance and then remained silent.

They were dragged along by the tree-man all the way into the mountains, where they saw the child talking to a wildflower and greeting a tree.

The woman in white couldn't help but complain, "Is this child mentally challenged? When are we going to let him go?"

The man glared at her and said:

"Don't be impatient, they'll let us go soon. This little girl is very clever."

"And what are these things binding us?"

The woman in white said with her eyes closed:

"Who knows! I don't know what these vines are made of, I can't cut them no matter what I try."

You know I'm using a dagger that can cut through iron like mud!

The man in black said calmly, "This little girl is quite strange."

Zhou Wanwan led them on a tour, and the woman in white noticed something was wrong. "Honey, this isn't right! Why are we getting closer and closer to our house?"

The man in black couldn't help but frown and say, "It's definitely getting closer."

Zhou Wanwan turned around and smiled at them, saying, "We'll be home soon."

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, an antique-style house appeared before us.

The woman in white, her face deathly pale, asked, "How... how did you find your way here?"

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "There's nowhere I can't find. I want to see if you really enjoy robbing the rich to help the poor."

Upon entering the house, one discovers that all the buildings are made of the finest timber.

The Old Scholar Tree walked around the house and said:

"This house is actually made entirely of rosewood and golden nanmu wood. Rosewood is incredibly expensive; a single piece of good quality rosewood can cost a fortune."

Not to mention Phoebe zhennan wood, it takes a hundred years to grow into a large piece, that's just too extravagant."

That living room could be described as the epitome of luxury, with an eight-foot-long pear wood table.

The tabletop is inlaid with a single piece of jade, clearly a priceless treasure.

Beside the table was a set of eight carved wooden armchairs, each with rubies inlaid on its armrests.

Hanging on the wall is a long landscape scroll painted by an emperor of a previous dynasty, with the scroll end carved from mutton-fat white jade.

Even the tea set on the table was exceptional.

It was a set of white porcelain covered bowls, with the inscription "Long Live the Emperor" delicately engraved on the bottom.

Zhou Wanwan sat in the armchair and said, "Are you two quite poor?"

A short while later, more than a dozen maids filed in.

They were all pretty, and Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "Hello! You don't need to serve me here."

But the maids didn't move at all. Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "What's wrong with these people? Why are they like wooden statues, not moving at all?"

Then they heard an orchid nearby sigh and say, "These people have been poisoned and rendered mute, and then deafened. How could they possibly hear her?"

Another orchid said:

"This couple is truly despicable, all to ensure this place isn't leaked."

Turning all these girls into mute and deaf people is truly outrageous.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Black and White Twin Fiends and asked, "Why did you make these girls deaf and mute?"

The woman in white trembled and said:

How did you know? Please, please let us go!

"I'll give you this estate, and I have many other treasures, all of which I'll give you too, just let us go."

Zhou Wanwan went outside, and soon the flowers and plants seemed to tell the story of the Black and White Twin Fiends's crimes.

The man in black had a great fondness for women; he would drag any woman he fancied into his house to have his way with her.

The woman in white said nothing in front of her husband, but then turned around and dragged all the girls who had been favored to the backyard and killed them one by one.

Not content with killing them, she threw the bodies into a dry well in the corner of the yard.

Over time, the backyard became soaked in blood, with layers upon layers of people buried beneath it.
