Chapter 38: The Scene of the Overturned Cart Arrives
The luxurious inn in Dong Family Town was, in fact, the only inn in Dong Family Town. Since there was nothing to compare it to, it was considered the most luxurious.
Starting yesterday, this inn was booked by Bai Fu Ren, and the entire inn was solely for their group’s service.
At this moment, in the inn’s living room, Bai Fu Ren sat in the main seat, with Hong Ling Luo and Black Spinning Top standing on either side.
As for the rest of the Corpse Demon army, they were stationed outside Dong Family Town.
Opposite Bai Fu Ren was a white-haired old man with a cane.
This old man was named Dong Kang’an. In life, he was a great philanthropist of Dong Family Town, building bridges and roads, helping the villagers, and donating money to build temples. He would strive to do any good deed.
After his death, he became an Earth Immortal through the power of his merits and was appointed as the Earth God of Dong Family Town.
Before, when Bai Ze was wandering around Dong Family Town, he could turn a blind eye to it.
But it was different now that Bai Fu Ren had arrived. She was a Demon King.
There was a distinction between the human and demon realms. A Demon King swaggering into a human town was something he, as the Earth God, could no longer pretend not to see, so he came to meet Bai Fu Ren.
“These are some small gifts I brought. They are not much, and I hope Madam Bai will accept them with a smile.”
Dong Kang’an waved his hand, and two ghost soldiers placed some gifts in front of Bai Fu Ren.
Bai Fu Ren nodded and smiled, “Old Sir, you are too kind. You are the local elder here, I should be the one to pay my respects. How could I let you come to pay respects to me?”
Dong Kang’an trembled all over upon hearing this, thinking, “You big demon, just don’t come looking for trouble. I can’t bear you paying your respects to me.”
Dong Kang’an naturally knew that the major Demon Kings in the mountains were about to engage in a fierce battle.
Moreover, it seemed that the White Bone Cave was currently gaining the upper hand. Many of the old lairs of the demons had been raided. To be able to fight against six Demon Kings with one’s own power, Dong Kang’an could not bear her paying her respects.
“May I ask, Madam, what is your purpose in coming to Dong Family Town?”
This was what Dong Kang’an was concerned about. He didn’t care about the demons fighting and killing each other in the mountains, but he was worried that it would affect Dong Family Town.
Bai Fu Ren said, “Does Mr. Kang’an know of Dong Yong’s actions?”
Dong Kang’an said, “Of course, I know. Sigh, I thought he was a kind-hearted scholar, but who knew he would be so promiscuous.
It’s simply a disgrace to scholars, utterly shameful!”
“It’s a pity that the village chief and the local security officers are all useless fools. If I were the village chief and the local security officer, I would have long put that Scholar Dong in a pig cage and drowned him in the river.”
Bai Fu Ren said, “The Underworld cannot interfere in human affairs. I know your troubles, sir, so I have come to help today.”
Dong Kang’an: “Help?”
Bai Fu Ren said, “You have a public office, so it’s not appropriate for you to question Dong Yong’s despicable behavior, but I am a demon. Aren’t demons supposed to do evil?
So, it’s normal for me to come and kill that Scholar Dong, right?”
“You want to kill Scholar Dong?” This answer surprised Dong Kang’an.
Bai Fu Ren said, “That’s right. Why, is that not allowed?”
“This…”
It was naturally illegal for a demon to run into a human town and kill people.
But if too many people were killed by demons, as long as they didn’t invade human towns on a large scale, the higher-level City Gods wouldn’t care.
For example, the Black Bear Monster and Huang Daxian of White Tiger Ridge, no one knew how many common people they had secretly eaten.
If this White Bone Spirit wanted to kill someone, who could stop her?
Moreover, the one she wanted to kill was that detestable Scholar Dong. Dong Kang’an had even less reason to interfere.
Dong Kang’an laughed and said, “Life is impermanent. Who hasn’t had their ups and downs? It’s actually normal for someone to die unexpectedly.”
Bai Fu Ren said, “Then I thank you, sir.”
Dong Kang’an said, “It is I who should thank Madam for ridding the village of a pest.”
Dong Kang’an was originally from Dong Family Town. Although he, as the Earth God, could not directly interfere in the affairs of Dong Family Town, he did not want his hometown to be turned into a chaotic mess by that Scholar Dong.
“Then, I shall take my leave!” Dong Kang’an left with his men.
At this time, a zombie soldier came to report that the Imperial Princess had already followed Dong Yong down the mountain. Bai Fu Ren was overjoyed.
“Let’s go to Dong Yong’s home.”
◈◈◈
On the other side, Bai Ze was driving the Yellow Ox, running at an unprecedented speed in Dong Family Town.
If one looked closely, they would notice that the Yellow Ox’s hooves were not touching the ground when it ran; they were suspended in mid-air.
The Yellow Ox, while speeding, said, “Your Bewitchment Great Dao is really too good. It’s been many years since Old Ox has been able to unleash his power so freely.”
The Yellow Ox was currently in a period of punishment. As an old ox that pulled carts and plowed fields, it was not allowed to reveal its power in front of people.
However, at this moment, Bai Ze had cast the White Bone Clan’s innate ability, ‘Bewitchment Technique,’ on the surrounding area. This kind of magic could influence people’s minds and even control their actions for a short time.
Bai Ze only needed to make the passersby focus their attention elsewhere, and naturally, they wouldn’t see the Yellow Ox using its power.
The Yellow Ox was rarely able to let loose and gallop through the streets, stirring up dust.
“Stop for a moment, this one, this one.”
At Bai Ze’s call, the Yellow Ox stopped in front of a courtyard gate. Bai Ze pressed his index finger to his temples, and a small, electric insect shot out from his forehead.
That small insect, like an electric thread, rapidly darted into the courtyard and struck a woman’s head.
This was also the Bewitchment Technique, but it compressed a large amount of information into a small electric insect and released it in that person’s mind.
And this time, the information that Bai Ze compressed was naturally the information of Scholar Dong having affairs with multiple women.
Also, that Scholar Dong was about to abandon her. He had brought back a woman as beautiful as a celestial being and no longer had any interest in her, his old wife.
And from beginning to end, Scholar Dong had been deceiving her with sweet words. Every word was false, he was only lusting after her body.
“Ah—”
Inside the courtyard, a woman screamed, “Dong Yong, I will definitely kill you!”
“Next one, next one, Old Yellow.”
Bai Ze urged the Yellow Ox, heading to the home of the next woman who had an affair with Dong Yong.
In this way, Bai Ze and the Yellow Ox activated all the bombs in Dong Family Town, just waiting for these women to make a scene at Dong Yong’s doorstep.
On the other side, Dong Yong and Zhi Nu had already returned home together.
As soon as they arrived outside the small courtyard, Zhi Nu was shocked by the dilapidated house.
When she walked inside, the house was bare, without a single decent piece of furniture, and even the window paper was not pasted.
She opened the rice jar in the house and saw that there was not a single grain of rice inside. She immediately shed tears, “Dong Lang, you have suffered.”
Dong Yong was indeed poor before, and his house was indeed destitute. However, now that he had obtained some benefits from his mistresses, he had some assets. The rice jar was empty only because he had not had time to buy rice.
Dong Yong held Zhi Nu’s hand and said, “For you, it’s worth it to endure any hardship.”
Zhi Nu was moved to tears, “With a lover like you, Zhi Nu has no other desires in this life. I only hope to serve my husband well in the future, and that we two will grow old together.”
“Grow old together!” Dong Yong said.
He was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected it to be so easy to deceive this Imperial Princess.
“Dong Yong, you come out here, you ungrateful wretch!”
At this moment, a woman’s furious roar suddenly came from outside, interrupting the affectionate exchange between Dong Yong and Zhi Nu.
“Dong Yong, I even gave you my dudou, and you still have affairs with other women?”
“Dong Yong, I didn’t expect you to be so cruel, not even wanting your own child, heartlessly making me abort our child.”
The large-scale scene of the overturned cart had arrived.
Dong Yong was greatly shocked, his hair standing on end. Usually, he hid it well, and he had never been caught having affairs with multiple women at the same time.
Now that his good deed was about to be accomplished, how could his cart have overturned?
Zhi Nu was dumbfounded.
