Ma'am, You Think I Like Being Here?
Zhou Wanwan said nothing more; there was no way they could get married tomorrow!
That woman is already three months pregnant; she has to run away tonight.
Zhou Wanwan returned home, Zhao Rui looked at her and said, "You'll be sleeping in the woodshed tonight. Don't think that just because you have money you can get away with anything. Do you know how much you embarrassed me today just to show off?"
Zhou Wanwan sneered, "You want me to stay in the woodshed? Fine, fine."
Zhou Wanwan went straight to the woodshed. Zhao Rui snorted and said, "No matter how capable she is, she's just a little girl. She's nothing to be afraid of."
Zhou Wanwan wandered around the woodshed before being led back to the treehouse by the Old Scholar Tree.
There was a very soft bed inside the treehouse, and Zhou Wanwan fell asleep as soon as she lay down.
The trees under her command rioted, "How could this person make us live in the woodshed Wanwan? It's outrageous!"
"I'm angry, I'm so angry, I won't feel at ease unless I do something."
"Alright, let's do it now. We'll make him regret it, we'll make him know the consequences of angering our little princess."
Zhou Wanwan had no idea just how crazy these trees were.
The next day, she woke up to a shock; she was lying on a haystack, but the house was gone.
Then they saw Zhao Rui, the fourth young master, with red eyes, get up from the ground.
Zhou Wanwan waved at him and said, "Hey! Fourth Young Master, good morning! What... what's going on here?"
Zhao Rui was furious. "You seem to be sleeping quite comfortably."
Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:
"I don't have any other strengths, except that I'm particularly good at adapting to different environments."
"But your house has changed quite a bit. It was magnificent yesterday, and today it's lying on the floor."
Zhao Rui shouted, "Where's our house? Where did our house go?"
The Zhao Family family members were all awake. Madam Zhao Family screamed, "Where's our house? Where's the storeroom?"
All the managers scrambled to their feet. "It's over, it's all over."
Overnight, the Zhao Family was completely emptied.
The old man of the Zhao Family coughed angrily. "What exactly happened? Who did you offend? Was it you? Or was it you?"
Old Master Zhao stared at his good-for-nothing sons.
All the sons shook their heads. The eldest son said, "I haven't caused any trouble lately, not even been to the gambling den."
The third son nodded and said:
"I haven't even been going to brothels lately, and besides, this place is a complete mess."
Even if you go to that brothel, there's nothing to see."
People here on the border were starving for a while, so brothels and such were simply nonexistent.
It has only recovered slightly recently, but only to a limited extent.
The old man kept tapping his cane and said:
"So what exactly happened?"
How could our house just disappear like that? It's so strange.
Investigate! Investigate for me!
The Zhao Family's men are quite fast, and moreover, these men are not ordinary people; they are all elites.
Moreover, their investigation methods are unique; some cases are based on smell, and others on traces.
They also keep many animals, all of which are trained, like family dogs.
But the dogs kept leading them around the area.
There were not only dogs, but also eagles and wolves.
Anyway, these animals were very powerful, but they all kept circling around the Zhao Family.
By evening, everyone reported that they had found no leads.
This infuriated Old Master Zhao:
"A bunch of useless idiots! They're driving me crazy! They can't even find it?"
"They've wiped out the Zhao Family! How could they possibly leave no trace?"
They all shook their heads, saying, "This whole thing is very strange; we really can't find anything."
"I didn't find anything on my end either. Those stupid dogs, all they do is keep going in circles."
I suspect those people possess some kind of mystical power.
Old Master Zhao stomped his feet in anger. "Send Zhao Lili back here. I refuse to believe we can't find out."
Zhao Lili returned quickly. When she saw that the house was gone, she almost burst into tears. "Grandpa, what happened? My room is gone! I have so many things left at home."
Old Master Zhao said with a dark face, "Send someone over to investigate. I refuse to believe we can't find out."
Zhao Lili brought the Flying Eagle Squad, whose Flying Eagle Squad are top experts from the Jianghu Alliance, far superior to ordinary people.
More than 100 members of the Flying Eagle Squad came this time, and the leader of the Flying Eagle Squad is a master ranked 85th on the Earth Ranking.
This man is named Li Fei, known in the martial arts world as Little Li Flying Dagger.
His most remarkable trait is his nose; his sense of smell is extremely sensitive.
Li Fei sniffed around in the Zhao Family and said, "I can't smell any human scent. Something's not right, something's really not right."
The Old Scholar Tree watched him from the side. Li Fei said, "There's no trace of human presence, nor of any animal. It's too eerie."
Zhao Lili looked at him and said, "What does this mean? I don't understand."
Li Fei sighed and said:
"It's normal not to understand. I don't even understand myself. What's going on?"
I only smelled the scent of grass and trees, but grass and trees can't be sentient!
Zhao Lili rolled her eyes and said:
Li Fei, can't you be a little more straightforward?
I'm getting more and more confused. What do you mean by plants becoming spirits? Do you think plants could possibly become spirits?
Li Fei nodded and said:
"I've never seen plants or trees become spirits, which is why I find this strange. Since there's no sign of a living person, it's likely a dead person."
I've heard of a faction that specializes in raising corpses and then having them move things.
Only the Yin Corpse Sect has this possibility.
The Yin Corpse Sect?
Zhao Lili thought for a moment and said:
"I think I've heard that those people live in Miao Frontier and make a living by raising corpses."
"Moving so many houses would require thousands of corpses, wouldn't it?"
"I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out." Li Fei was also puzzled.
Zhao Lili was also speechless. "What on earth is going on? Why are these things happening to me and my Zhao Family? This is just too bizarre."
Fourth Young Master Zhao Rui led Zhou Wanwan to the front hall. Zhao Lili saw Zhou Wanwan and said, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhao Lili and said:
"Auntie, do you think I like being here?"
"If it weren't for your dog, I wouldn't be here."
Zhao Lili looked at her and said, "You're sharp-tongued. I'm already in a bad mood, so hit her! Hit her hard!"
Just as Zhao Lili's men were about to step forward, Zhou Wanwan's men, who were hiding in the shadows, made their move; it was Water Ghost who attacked.
The Water Ghost appeared directly in front of her. Zhou Wanwan still had several experts on the Earth Ranking around her, with the Water Ghost and Long Aotian protecting her the whole time.
He just never shows his face.
Li Fei looked at the Water Ghost and said, "Water Ghost? Weren't you already dead?"
The Water Ghost sneered, "Does my not showing up mean I'm dead? I just don't want to show my face usually."
Li Fei looked at the Water Ghost and said, "You're number 86 on the Earth Ranking, and I'm Earth Ranking 85. Do you think you're confident you can beat me?"
