The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 183 Buried Alive
Xiao Huan was genuinely grateful to the wandering ghost in front of her and truly regarded Shang Wan as her older sister.

Countless moments of her time with Xiao Huan flashed through Shang Wan's mind. She wondered if Xiao Huan was covering for her all along because she was afraid that her true identity would be exposed.
Thinking this way, she asked the question.

Xiao Huan nodded with a serious expression. "I heard from storytellers that when a ghost or spirit possesses a person, the situation will be unstable for the first month. If the person's identity is exposed, the spirit will immediately be destroyed. After a month, the situation will stabilize, and even if the spirit is exposed, it will be fine."

She had previously covered for Shang Wan and prevented Shi Tou from talking nonsense, precisely because she was afraid that Shi Tou would discover something and cause Shang Wan to lose her mind.

Shang Wan: "..."

Storytelling is obviously fake, so why do people believe it so readily?!

Xiao Huan looked at her with concern, "Sister, I just said it. Do you feel unwell anywhere? Should I burn some paper money and incense for you to increase your magical power?"

His eyes held a hint of eagerness.

Shang Wan: "..."

Young lady, superstition is a no-no!

She raised her hand to rub her temples. "No need."

"Sister, do you have a headache?" Xiao Huan asked anxiously, reaching out to touch Shang Wan but hesitating, her voice filled with self-reproach. "It's been a month, things should be stable by now. I... I shouldn't have said that."

His tone was full of regret, and tears welled up in his eyes from fright.

Seeing that Xiao Huan was about to scare her to death, Shang Wan said helplessly, "I'm fine."

Oh well, I'll believe it if I want. It's a hobby, isn't it?
Seeing that Shang Wan's expression was normal and she didn't seem to have lost her soul, Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and shyly wiped away the tears on her face.

Shang Wan poured her a glass of iced tea, and only after she calmed down did she ask, "Who is that man with the red mole on his left earlobe?"

"It's that bastard Zhong Chenghong who lied to the young mistress!" Xiao Huan said angrily. "The man who has a relationship with the young mistress and has a red mole on his left earlobe, it must be him!"

Even if Xiao Huan didn't necessarily like the original young mistress that much, being deceived by a scumbag would make any woman angry.

It was him.

A face flashed through Shang Wan's mind. Suddenly, she remembered the letter Zhong Chenghong wrote to the original owner. Could it be that the bastard really kept his promise and took the original owner away?
Why doesn't she believe in this scumbag's character?
She raised her hand and stroked her chin, instinctively feeling that something was amiss.

"Sister, you absolutely mustn't believe that bastard." Xiao Huan was worried that Shang Wan would also be fooled by Zhong Chenghong's smooth talk, and said nervously, "He's nowhere near as good as my brother-in-law. Not only is he less learned than him, but he's also ugly. He even cheated the young mistress out of her dowry. He's no good person!"

She spared no effort in smearing Zhong Chenghong.

"Sister, believe me, Zhong Chenghong is just a smooth-talking scoundrel, a freeloader. His sudden appearance here is definitely not for anything good."

Shang Wan agreed with this statement.

What good intentions could a weasel have when it offers New Year's greetings to a chicken?
Xiao Huan was good at seizing the key point and making snide remarks: "Sister, Zhong Chenghong is really ugly. He can't even compare to a single hair of your husband."

Shang Wan was speechless. "Am I the kind of person who only cares about looks?"

Xiao Huan didn't dare to answer, but her eyes clearly showed three words: You are!

Shang Wan: "..."

Xiao Huan emphasized again, "Sister, that Zhong Chenghong is really ugly, even uglier than that old beggar with a pockmarked face in the city."

Shang Wan had mixed feelings. "Little sister, saying these things once is enough. Emphasizing them repeatedly will only make you seem guilty."

Even a scumbag who lives off a woman has to have some skills. The original owner was so infatuated with him that she was willing to spend money on him. How could such a scumbag be so incredibly ugly?

Xiao Huan didn't care whether she felt guilty or not; in her eyes, even a dung beetle looked exceptionally handsome compared to Zhong Chenghong.

"Now that they've found out where I am, they'll probably come looking for me." Shang Wan decided to wait and see what happens.

Xiao Huan was eager to try. If Zhong Chenghong dared to come, she would beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

The silver moon hung high, and all was silent.

Amidst the chirping of insects, everyone drifted off to sleep. Two dark figures silently arrived, scaled the courtyard wall, and landed in the small courtyard.

"Where?"

"backyard."

"Let's go—hoo!"

A scream echoed through the night from the courtyard.

A flash of green beastly eyes streaked across the silent night as Little Grey bit down hard on the uninvited guest, its sharp fangs tearing off a chunk of flesh with a "whoosh."

"what!!"

Another scream rang out, even louder than before.

The man in black, number one, was writhing on the ground in pain, clutching his bleeding leg.

"How come there are wolves here?" The second man in black's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He twirled a dagger between his fingers and swiftly threw it at the gray wolf that was on guard in the courtyard.

The gray wolf did not flinch, its fluorescent beastly eyes coldly staring at the two uninvited guests.

"Ding--"

The stone collided with the dagger, and the immense force knocked the dagger off course, causing both stones to fall to the ground.

"You uninvited wolf who dares to bully me, how do you want to die?" A lazy, melodious female voice came from the rooftop. The woman rested her chin on her hand, her fair skin glowing with a shimmering white light under the moonlight, her dark hair flowing freely in the wind.

Shang Wan lowered her eyes and glanced at the two men in black in the courtyard. The murderous aura was so strong that it was almost tangible, thick and dark, and the cold killing intent enveloped the two men in black, making them too frightened to move.

That one move cost a life.

The second man in black, supporting the first, swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Who are you?"

Why would such a skilled person be stationed in a mere farmhouse?

"Me?" Shang Wan stood up and leaped down from the roof. Her clothes fluttered like a fairy in the moon, but her eyes were as cold as ice. "I am the person you want to kill."

·
The flickering candlelight, along with the cool moonlight streaming in from the window, illuminated the dim room.

Xiao Huan tied up the two men in black and yawned.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at Shang Wan standing by the window. "Sister, where should we bury him?"

Man in black:"……"

How can they be so skilled at murder and burying bodies?! They're the real killers!

"Sister, they don't have a single copper coin on them." After searching and finding nothing, Stone curled his lip in disdain. "They're not even as good as the previous group of assassins."

At least I still have some spare silver, and the weapons are quite useful.

The two men in black, their faces bruised and swollen, exchanged a surprised glance. Were there assassins besides them?
Lu Chengjing coughed lightly twice, covering his mouth, and looked at the two men in black, asking, "Where is Zhong Chenghong?"

The two men in black, unaware of where they had slipped up, remained silent when questioned, bracing themselves for the impending torture.

"If you don't talk, we'll drag you out and bury you." Shang Wan had absolutely no interest in interrogating him and simply waved her hand.

Stone immediately agreed, grabbed one person in each hand, and dragged them away. He was so quick that the two men in black didn't even have time to react.

The two men in black were tall and strong, and they were quite surprised to see that Shi Tou dragged them without any effort.

Could this young man also be a martial arts expert?

They quickly forgot their surprise, because Stone had indeed dug a hole and was preparing to bury them alive.
