Chapter 74 Surprise! Unexpected! (Fifth update, please subscribe)

As day fades and night falls.

As the lanterns outside were lit one by one, a hazy, dim red light shone into the room, and the voices of "Master" gradually approached Zhang Wei's room, growing louder and louder.

The next moment, the sound of the door hinges being pushed rang out, and a handsome and dashing figure dressed in a red groom's robe closed the door and entered the room.

His round eyes scanned his surroundings, and as he looked at the bride sitting quietly by the bed, waiting for him to lift her veil, a sinister glint flashed across his handsome face. To have withstood the sudden attack of the wedding dress demon, this remnant of the enemy did indeed possess some skill, but...

He likes people who are resourceful; the tougher the methods, the more enjoyable it will be for him when he gets to enjoy it!

Do you want to avenge your master?

Hehe, hehe, unless Huang Ming is resurrected from the dead and regains his country, and invites the Three Mountains Taoist sects, then he naturally has nothing to say. Of course, if Huang Ming is really resurrected, then he won't make such a big fuss.

But now...

Although he didn't understand how these rats in the gutter could keep popping up even after he had killed so many, he was happy to deal with them since they kept coming to him! Otherwise, it would be a bit less fun for him and his wife to interact!

As I was thinking this, I seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye.

Looking closer, the plates that were once piled high with red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds are now completely empty, without even a single fruit pit.

Fearing the newlyweds might be hungry that night, the prepared pastries and fruits were all eaten clean, leaving only empty plates that gleamed neatly in the flickering candlelight.

The wine jug lay scattered on the table.

After noticing these things, he looked at the bed and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

No, you'd eat the "early birth of a son" smeared on the bed?

Not only did you eat it all, but you also ate every last bit of the pit and the peel. If people knew you were a remnant of the Ming dynasty seeking revenge for that vile woman, they would think you were a starving outsider who came in to freeload.

No, even if starving people ate that much food, they would still die from overeating, right?

But when he looked at the flat abdomen by the bedside, he was momentarily stunned.

Unsurprisingly, the top scholar also asked the same question as the female ghost from the previous night: what kind of strange thing had he married?

Looking at the top scholar standing in the room, questioning his existence, through the veil, Zhang Wei's lips twitched involuntarily.

He didn't want to, but unfortunately, the newly acquired scorching sun was just like Ya Zifa, both taking the path of accumulating strength before unleashing it.

Yazifa is indiscriminate in its appetite for raw and cold foods; it craves any evil thing it finds. The blazing sun, on the other hand, is meant to refine Zhang Wei's vital energy, requiring the nourishment of grains, food, and medicinal treasures. Since he's bored anyway, what's wrong with taking a bite?

Even the starving people have shown mercy to the dignified top scholar; surely they can't let their newlywed wife go hungry?

Although he didn't treat her like a wife or a master, the principle is that no one comes for nothing!

"My lord, why haven't you lifted the veil since she arrived? I've been waiting for you with bated breath!"

Now that things had come to this, Zhang Wei was too lazy to use his magic to deceive the maids like he had done the night before. He simply used his sweet voice to call out to the top scholar.

Although he was reluctant at first, he has now become quite immersed in the role-playing experience. After all, he has been disgusted many times in the past day and night, and now Zhang Wei is going to double down on those disgusting experiences and turn them into shit to give back to the source.

What a surprise!

If the scholar could barely console himself that all the food in the room had been wasted by a man who was destined to die, he could still tell himself that this was the man's last meal, his life's money, and that he would be able to get it back with interest in a little while.

But when that yang-filled voice rang in his ears, the top scholar's heart turned completely cold.

Even if he tormented the thing in front of him to the point of unbearable pain afterward, it couldn't cover up the fact that he had married a man and brought him home!

Although homosexuality was not an outrageous or niche phenomenon in ancient times, it was not much different from the situation in modern times. Those who entered this path naturally enjoyed it, while those who were not interested avoided it like the plague!

Now he really wants to go out and kill all the servants who have been in contact with this "bride" to completely block the news.

But before that, he must first eliminate the source of this scourge!

"Heh, I'm really eager to get started too!"

Coming to his senses, the top scholar gritted his teeth and strode towards Zhang Wei. With each step, his handsome face was torn apart, revealing a bulging, dark, and thick fur, along with half-meter-long whiskers that stretched out from both sides of his face. His white front teeth quickly grew longer and turned yellowish-brown, further emphasizing the ferocious appearance of the top scholar with his bulging face.

The figure beneath the veil seemed oblivious to everything, choking back tears as she cried out passionately, "My lord, please lift the veil quickly, so that I may serve you well, my lord! My lord!"

Zhang Wei, fully immersed in his role, delivered a heartfelt performance.

The top scholar, whose figure had become two sizes rounder than before, tearing his wedding clothes, twisted his already ugly face even more grotesquely upon hearing the affected, affected sounds: "Enough, you bastard, shut up!"

He couldn't hold back anymore; he broke down.

He didn't even bother to walk the remaining few steps, and instead leaped towards the bed.

With a roar, his already protruding face stretched into an astonishing arc, and the gaping maw, large enough to swallow an entire lantern, came straight at the bride's head. He was going to bite the annoying creature's head off.

But at that moment, his eyes, which were squeezed to the sides of his face by his protruding mouth, suddenly saw that the bride sitting in front of him had raised her hands, and her nimble fingers were flying in a flash.

The seemingly complex and somewhat convoluted hand gestures took shape in Zhang Wei's hands in an instant, and the vital energy of his five internal organs gathered in his heart and then surged out through his arms.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle!"

A cacophony of sounds accompanied the collision of blue and white light, with walnut-sized bolts of electricity sparking between fingers.

Having already torn off his human skin and become a rat-headed man, the top scholar noticed the refraction of the lightning and his expression changed drastically.

The joking guess I made earlier has now become a reality.

It didn't have time to think about why the direct disciples of the Three Mountains Daoist Sect had condescended to come to its small town. Although this ball of lightning was small, it only hurt when it actually hit its body!

Under the power of thunder, demons and evil are equal.

It desperately tried to land and twist its body, but the figure that had been sitting still stood up and took the initiative to turn its lightning-infused hands and put them into its mouth, which had not yet closed.

The hands, crackling with lightning, plunged straight into the abyss-like maw of the top scholar, reaching right up to its throat.

"boom!"
