Zhou Ze turned around.

Maintaining that posture of his back facing them was actually quite tiring, but sometimes, he had no choice.

The eyes of the boy in the straw raincoat were practically sparkling; his admiration was like a surging river, never-ending.

Suddenly, Zhou, the boss, felt a pang of guilt.

Such a sincere child;

he was deceiving him like this.

It felt a bit underhanded.

But based on the principle that a thief doesn't leave empty-handed... based on the kind and caring concept of looking after children,

Zhou Ze still felt that taking him away seemed to be the best choice.

After all, no matter how good a child was, staying in a gambling den like this would surely ruin him.

Even though the boy had been here for decades and was still fine, what if?

Boss Zhou bent down and said to the boy in the straw raincoat in a very gentle manner:

"Believe me, that day will come when you will become this sea."

One of the essential skills of every leader is to give pep talks because they don't cost anything.

The boy in the straw raincoat's mouth was slightly open.

He was originally a very calm child,

but at this moment, in this environment, he simply couldn't remain calm. Immediately, he nodded vigorously in response to Zhou Ze's "encouragement."

Seeing him so excited, Boss Zhou didn't dare to continue giving him pep talks. It wouldn't be good if he fainted.

While continuing to look at him with encouraging and caring eyes,

he put his left hand behind his back and waved it不停不停。

Open the door.

Open the door.

Let us out.

He couldn't keep shouting to open the door,

or the glorious image he had just established would collapse.

Fortunately,

this time, Ying Gou didn't seem to be sleeping so soundly.

"Buzz…"

A muffled sound,

Zhou Ze's body trembled.

He opened his eyes

and found that he was already standing in the pavilion.

The boy stood outside the pavilion,

his hands crossed and raised.

All the water in the pond began to boil and then turned into trickles, surrounding Zhou Ze.

"Wait!"

Boss Zhou immediately raised his hand and asked worriedly:

"You're not going to make me drink it, are you?"

Although this lake wasn't big, only slightly larger than an ordinary pond, drinking it all would cause ten of him to explode.

"You have a spot on your hand; it's perfect for me to live in. It's just the right size."

The boy smiled shyly,

and his figure melted into the water.

Immediately afterward,

the water began to pour into the bronze ring on Zhou Ze's left ring finger.

This bronze ring was found in Sanxiang Village. Because of its existence, Sanxiang Village formed a barrier that lasted for decades, but the ring itself had some problems. It could be said to be a defective product. Now that this lake demon boy had moved in, one plus one was greater than two. In the future, the efficacy of this bronze ring would be even more terrifying.

At least, in the near future, the kind of thing where he didn't like someone but couldn't be nice to them because he was afraid of exposing his identity

was unlikely to happen again.

Zhou Ze reached out and stroked the ring. Was this like finding a spirit for it?

At least from the current situation, he had made a profit. Just this one spirit was not something he could find if he wanted to. There were very few spiritual beings in this world, and it was even harder to find one that was just the right size.

He originally wanted to repay the favor of that Lord Fǔjūn,

but who knew he would owe him another favor.

The entire Qianjia Village had been destroyed by him. He had won what he should have won, killed what he should have killed, accepted defeat where he should have accepted defeat, and blown up what he should have blown up.

Boss Zhou felt that he could quit while he was ahead.

He immediately said:

"Open the door, let us leave."

On the dried-up pond, a door appeared. The door had a vermilion frame, which was somewhat ancient and somewhat old. Zhou Ze招了招手to Yingying. After Yingying came over, they pushed open the door and walked in together.

However, as soon as they entered, Zhou Ze felt that something was wrong. This wasn't the tunnel with the bronze mirror that he had entered before, nor was it the living room where he had once dozed off.

The light here was a little dim, with a hint of pink, giving people a hazy feeling.

It was like the kind of small streets and alleys that Old Daoist often liked to go to, with signs hanging above that said "Foot Washing or Hair Washing," and many warm and hospitable young ladies sitting inside.

"Mmm…"

A lazy voice sounded,

as if someone had suddenly plucked a heartstring.

Yingying's expression froze, and her alert gaze swept around. In this regard, men were more sensitive than women, but women were more vigilant than men.

Yingying didn't reject Boss Zhou having a harem. After all, helping the Zhou family spread its branches and leaves was the responsibility of the first wife.

But Yingying didn't want any miscellaneous and scheming characters to hook away the boss's soul. Although the boss had always been very mature, steady, and not too worrying in this regard.

The source of the voice was confirmed.

It came from the gauze bed in front.

The lights also seemed to understand and began to brighten.

Through the gauze,

the figure of a woman lying on her side could be seen inside.

Why was she so sure it was a woman?

Because of the wavy curves,

undulating undulating undulating,

it was really too obvious.

"If you want to leave the village, the exit can only be here. This is Grandma's room."

The boy's voice came from the bronze ring.

"You should have said so earlier, so I could have been mentally prepared."

It was really a bit embarrassing to break into someone else's boudoir so suddenly.

Although it was his first contact, Boss Zhou had actually seen through the fake in the living room earlier.

But a woman who could start from scratch, mingle in both the underworld and the white world, and open this place, how could she be an easy character to deal with?

Zhou Ze had been able to sweep through the gambling addicts in that village because he had Ying Gou sitting in town, but this Grandma had been able to suppress them for decades, which showed her skill and ability.

"Are there guests?"

The lazy voice continued.

This voice had a natural charm. Boss Zhou was sure that when he entered this gambling house, this woman had probably sensed it. She might have even been waiting for him to resolve the matters in the village and come to her room.

The confrontation

had begun from the beginning with that lazy voice.

It was just that,

this trick might be useful for others,

but for Boss Zhou,

hehe,

when it came to remaining unmoved by beauty,

Zhou Ze wasn't targeting anyone…

"Oh… are you leaving already?"

The woman got up and sat up in bed.

Zhou Ze still couldn't figure out whether the other party was a friend or foe. He couldn't quite grasp their attitude.

But Zhou Ze didn't want to waste time playing these insincere games here.

He said directly:

"See you."

After speaking,

he signaled Yingying to walk towards the door with him.

Placing the exit of the village in her room was quite daring, but since the gamblers in this village had been suppressed by her for decades and no one could come out, it didn't matter whether the door was in her room or not.

However,

when Zhou Ze and Yingying reached the door,

the woman's voice suddenly turned cold.

She said:

"Are you just leaving like that…"

"Yeah."

Boss Zhou responded honestly.

"Actually, you can leave," the woman's tone softened again, "but you have to give me some compensation, right?"

Zhou Ze turned his head, looked at the figure standing behind the gauze, and said:

"I didn't gamble with you; I robbed them. So, I don't think I owe you any favors."

Seeing someone virtuous, one should think of emulating them.

Boss Zhou felt that he had gained a lot today.

First, he learned the means of deceiving the moon from the naive and honest man,

and then he learned the upright and forthright style of Lord Fǔjūn.

In one day,

the great figures of two big shots were shining brightly behind him, guiding him forward. It was truly a fulfilling day.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you leave like this?"

"I don't want to know."

The gauze curtain was lifted,

and a mature woman who looked to be only thirty years old walked out,

She was wearing white pajamas, which were a bit thick, not made of gauze, so they were considered to be covered tightly, but her figure was still evident.

The real Grandma was indeed much more flavorful than the fake one.

"I've gambled my whole life, and I know in my heart that sometimes, the real wins and losses are not on the gambling table.

Those young men saw that I was dying and wanted to fight for their own future, so they deliberately invited you here. I actually knew all of this. I didn't stop them. I pretended not to know anything and just lay here, about to die. I haven't asked for a night attendant in almost half a month.

They probably think I'm really dying and are just waiting for me to die wholeheartedly."

"You look good, like…"

"Thank you."

"Like a final burst of glory."

"…" Grandma.

Zhou Ze took out a cigarette, lit it,

and said:

"Let's get straight to the point. I'm not busy at all; I'm very free;

but I still don't want to waste time here."

"Okay, I have something I want to give you."

"I don't want it."

"I haven't even said what it is yet?"

"Still don't want it."

"Then there's really no way to talk?" Grandma seemed very sad.

"Yeah, well, what's next?"

"Then you can leave."

Boss Zhou was a little surprised. Shouldn't the next step be revealing your true intentions?

"You're just letting me leave like that?"

"Otherwise? When that old man appeared here, I knew that no matter who won or lost, no matter how many chips there were, I would always be the loser.

I didn't even intend to really try to get anything back with the name of the guarantor he wrote. I didn't even have the qualifications to get on the gambling table. I knew that very well.

So,

since we can't talk anymore,

you can leave.

Push open that door,

and you'll be outside."

Boss Zhou put his hand on the doorknob.

Things were going a little too smoothly.

When he first started out, Little Loli had said in a stinky voice that the reason she liked him was that he had a good sense of self-awareness.

But now it seemed that

this Grandma was the real paragon of this path!

He gripped the doorknob,

but Zhou Ze didn't push it open directly.

Instead, he turned his head again,

and looked at the buxom woman,

and said:

"Oh right, what did you say you wanted to give me?"

"Boss?"

Yingying reminded him in a low voice from the side.

"It's not like looking will get me pregnant."

"Um…" Yingying.

Grandma bowed slightly to Zhou Ze,

and then answered generously:

"My… eggs."

"…" Zhou Ze.
