Chapter 196 Crisis

Ye Yang's face darkened slightly as he said, "The ghosts and gods of Shanglin Community are launching a simultaneous attack!"

Lin Zhao walked over. "Only in this way can they force us to leave the house."

"When Li Po and the other three are together, ordinary ghosts and gods are no match for them."

"If they appear one by one, they can easily be defeated by Li Po and the others individually. Only by separating Li Po and the others can they have a chance of winning."

Ye Yang said coldly, "You've already shown me both sides. Why don't you show me the last one?"

The image on the computer suddenly switched, and Xia Mengying appeared on the screen.

At this time, the security guard had already brought the three children to our temporary residence.

Xia Mengying had simply transformed the living room into a classroom for the three children, and she had also deliberately blocked the windows—she didn't want the children to see the figures outside the window.

Xia Mengying wanted to teach the three children to recite ancient poems, but one of the children said, "Teacher, I don't want to recite poems. I want to draw."

The other two children followed suit. "Teacher, I want to draw too."

Xia Mengying smiled. "What do you want to draw?"

The child who first said he wanted to draw pointed to the window. "We want to draw what's outside the window!"

Xia Mengying's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. "How about we don't draw the scenery outside today? How about this? You draw your own mom and dad."

One of the children pouted. "I can't!"

Xia Mengying gave him paper and a pen. "Draw whatever you want. When you're done, show it to me."

"The teacher is going to make lunch for you. Be good!"

Ye Yang looked up at the clock in the room. It was almost noon.

As soon as noon arrived, Wang Butcher's side would likely be the first to face a crisis.

Next would be me, or Xia Mengying?

But the image on the computer suddenly disappeared at this moment, and a document automatically popped up on the screen, which read: "You want to see? I won't let you."

Lin Zhao's face was filled with anger, but Ye Yang gently raised his hand to stop him. "I need to rest for a while! Wake me up when Ben Gou and the others start moving!"

Ye Yang said he wanted to rest, and he really leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Lin Zhao, however, stared intently out the window, not daring to relax for a moment.

They originally thought that Wang Butcher would be the first target of the ghosts and gods' attack, but in reality, I was the first to fall out with the ghosts and gods.

I had been watching Wang Xiaohuan, who was applying makeup to the corpse. At first, there was nothing unusual about Wang Xiaohuan, but after a while, I noticed that Wang Xiaohuan's face had turned deathly pale, as if she had lost blood.

Wang Xiaohuan became more and more serious, as if she wasn't applying makeup to a person, but meticulously crafting a work of art.

I stepped forward and grabbed Wang Xiaohuan's wrist, forcibly pulling her to the side.

Wang Xiaohuan was pushed all the way to the corner before she came back to her senses. "You..."

I turned to look at the corpse sitting on the bed. "He's absorbing your life essence."

Only then did Wang Xiaohuan notice that the corpse's dry, yellow face had gained a hint of rosiness.

I turned around and shielded Wang Xiaohuan behind me, looking at the old woman. "Our agreement didn't seem to say anything about returning a life to a dead man, did it?"

The old woman chuckled coldly. "You promised to do the Kai Lian (opening face ritual) for my old man. Even if he's dead, the makeup has to be finished."

"If you can guarantee that you won't have your life essence sucked away by the old man, that's your skill."

"If you can't, then you have to give my old man a good makeup. If that girl dies, there's still you. If you die too, I'll just find more of your people."

"After the makeup is done, you have to carry him out for me."

"You signed a contract. If you don't keep your word, be careful of ghosts and gods taking your life!"

I sneered. "Even ghosts and gods have to be reasonable, right? You're deliberately deceiving us. Do you still expect us to keep our word?"

The old woman grinned. "You didn't think about the consequences yourselves. Can you blame me?"

"You raised the price on the spot and wanted to add money. We already agreed. You took the money, and you signed the contract. There's no such thing as anyone deceiving anyone."

"You want to go back on your word? Can you defeat the ghosts and gods?"

I said in a deep voice, "I want to know, which ghost or god is supervising the contract?"

"Within a thousand miles, all ghosts and gods are monitoring." The old woman laughed. "Boy, you're still too young. You dare to sign without reading the contract carefully. Who can you blame?"

"Don't even mention the ghosts and gods judging. Even if you take it to the Yang Jian (human realm) to file a lawsuit, you still won't win."

Sorcerer contracts have high and low levels, especially ghost and god contracts.

If a sorcerer has the ability to kill ghosts and gods, they can ignore the contract.

To prevent this from happening in the sorcerer world, the contracts were directly divided into levels.

If the contract I signed is really as the old woman said, with all the ghosts and gods monitoring within a thousand miles, then it's troublesome.

If I want to break the contract, I have to wield my blade for a thousand miles and slaughter all the ghosts and gods!

Not to mention that I can't do it, even if I could, the end result would be that I would incur the wrath of the ghosts and gods, and be hunted down to death by the ghosts and gods of both realms.

As for whether the ghosts and gods' judgment is fair?

The ghosts and gods will definitely not speak for the sorcerers, because that old woman is their kind.
