Twin female zombies come to the door: My lord, please have mercy!

It was a rainy night, and the wind was biting cold.

In the second courtyard of this old house from the late Qing Dynasty on Linjiang Road, the atmosphere is so quiet that only the "patter" of raindrops hitting the blue bricks can be heard.

The ancient well, covered in moss, resembled a lone eye lurking in the darkness, spewing out a chilling, heavy aura of yin energy.

Lin Ye withdrew his gaze from the ancient well and glanced at Qin Shao, who was still slumped in the mud.

"Young Master Qin, is your promise of one million still valid?"

Lin Ye toyed with the peach wood sword in his hand, which had natural lightning strike patterns, speaking in a relaxed tone as if he had just swatted a mosquito instead of instantly killing a clone of a red-clothed ghost.

"Yes! Absolutely!"

As if waking from a dream, Qin Shao scrambled over to him.

He pulled out his latest Porsche-customized phone and shakily opened the transfer interface.

"Master Lin, if you can resolve this matter completely tonight, I'll add another 500,000! I'll transfer the 500,000 deposit to you right now!"

"Ding! Alipay account received 500,000 yuan."

Listening to the heavenly sound coming from his phone, Lin Ye's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

One million! Now we not only have the money to buy high-grade wild ginseng, but we can also upgrade the blood tonics for our two ancestors next month.

"Fatty."

Lin Ye turned around, his expression instantly turning serious.

"Yes, Yoko, give your orders!"

The way Fatty Wang was looking at Lin Ye now was as if he were looking at a living god; he was practically ready to kowtow to him on the spot.

Lin Ye took out a small cloth bag covered in cinnabar from his tactical canvas bag and tossed it to the fat man.

"Take Young Master Qin behind the screen wall outside the main gate. Use the Pure Yang Pill Powder in this bag to draw a circle around the two of you. Remember, it must be connected end to end."

"This is the 'drawing the boundary' technique of folk religious teachings. No matter what sounds come from the courtyard, or if someone calls your names, you absolutely cannot step out of that circle even half a step before dawn!"

"I understand! I get it, this is called drawing a circle around oneself and imprisoning oneself!"

The fat man took the cloth bag, pulled up the weak-legged Qin Shao, and ran towards the outer courtyard without looking back.

After clearing the area, Lin Ye, carrying a flashlight, led Leng Yue and Shuang Xing carefully to the edge of the ancient well.

When the flashlight beam shone down, it seemed to be swallowed by darkness. Only a layer of viscous well water with black bubbles could be vaguely seen a dozen meters deep.

"My lord, there is a strong stench of corpses in this water."

Leng Yue slightly covered her mouth and nose, a hint of disgust flashing in her deep red eyes.

"Moreover, the shape of this well is incorrect."

"That's definitely not right."

Lin Ye squatted down and tapped the blue bricks at the wellhead with the hilt of his peach wood sword, producing a dull echo.

He sneered and began his mini-lesson in metaphysics:

"This is not a well for drawing water at all. Look at the blue bricks at the wellhead, every single one of them is blackened. These are 'yin bricks' fired with yin fire. Moreover, the bricks are arranged according to the 'inverted Bagua' orientation."

"In feng shui, this is called the Seven Aperture Soul-Locking Well."

"This is connected to the [Sixty Dragons of the Earth] water eye of the extremely yin earth vein of Linjiang Road. That bloody rotten wood should be the array eye that sealed this well. After Qin Shao's construction team removed the array eye, the ferocious creature that had been 'nurtured' for hundreds of years below could no longer be suppressed."

Lin Ye stood up and took a deep breath:

"That red-clad female ghost was just a wisp of its resentment; its true form is hidden in the underground river at the bottom of the well. To get that million, we have to go down there."

Upon hearing that she had to go down the well, Froststar, wearing a yellow duck raincoat, immediately took a step back, her little face full of resistance.

"No! It's so dirty and smelly down there, it'll get Froststar's skirt dirty! Brother-in-law, can we forget about the million? Froststar will just absorb less yang energy in the future..."

"Honey, how can I buy you pretty clothes if I don't have money?"

Lin Ye pinched her soft cheeks.

Actually, Lin Ye was also feeling uneasy.

The well walls are slippery and covered in sticky moss. Even if a normal person were tied with a rope and went down, they would likely be frozen solid by the yin energy erupting from the bottom of the well and fall into the water to feed the turtles.

Just as Lin Ye was pondering how to descend into the well in a dignified and safe manner...

The tingling notification sound in my mind, carrying the familiar recipe, arrived as promised.

"Ding! My Lord, please exercise restraint. System notification: The host is about to descend into the Seven Apertures Soul-Locking Well, facing highly challenging terrain. Please choose your method of descent within three minutes!"

Option A: Steady and cautious approach – Take out a professional climbing rope, tie yourself securely, and slowly climb down like a groundhog.

[Reward: A pair of non-slip gloves. Consequence: When you're halfway down, a water ghost at the bottom of the well will grab your ankles, giving you the ultimate "upside-down" experience.]

[Option B: The ultimate way to be a kept man—cover your head with your hands, shout "Wife, save me!" and let Leng Yue carry you down in a princess carry.]

[Reward: Cold Moon's intimacy +15, feeling incredibly safe. Consequence: Froststar will get jealous, cut your rope from above, and throw bricks at you from the well.]

[Option C: Flying Together (Triple Flight) – Showcasing the domineering presence of the head of the household, one arm around the older sister, the other lifting the younger sister, shouting "Women, jump with me!", and then performing a leap of faith.]

[Reward: Maximum Yang Qi +10, title "Frog in a Well" (all attributes +5% in dark and damp environments), high probability of triggering the extremely enchanting "Wet Crisis".]

Lin Ye's lips twitched as he looked at the three options.

A is physical torture, B is harem intrigue, only C can balance both balance and efficiency.

Although the system clearly wants to see him do bad things, the temptation of the reward of a higher yang energy value is too great!

"System, I choose C! To die beneath a peony is to die a romantic death!"

The moment he made his choice, Lin Ye took a deep breath and put the flashlight in his mouth.

He turned around and opened his arms.

"Cold Moon, Frost Star, come here."

The two stunningly beautiful women were both stunned at the same time.

Leng Yue frowned slightly: "My lord, what are you going to do? The yin energy in this well has turned into water. If you come into direct contact with it, your yang energy will be greatly damaged. I can go down first and clear a path for you..."

"Whatever road we take, the whole family should be together."

Lin Ye, too lazy to waste words, took a step forward in a domineering manner.

His left hand slipped under the hem of Leng Yue's oversized white shirt and wrapped around her slender waist.

Leng Yue froze, her deep red eyes widening instantly.

As a thousand-year-old red beast, no one except Lin Ye had ever touched her body so brazenly.

Through the thin fabric of her shirt, the scorching yang energy in Lin Ye's palm burned her waist like a branding iron, causing her mind to go blank for a moment.

"Well……"

Leng Yue let out a suppressed groan, and a blush instantly spread across her fair cheeks.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye skillfully scooped up Shuangxing, who was wearing a duck raincoat, with his right hand and held her in his arms like a child.

"Brother-in-law, give me a hug!"

Froststar cheered and wrapped her slender arms tightly around Lin Ye's neck, while her two fair legs naturally wrapped around his waist, making her look like a giant koala.

"Hold on tight, ladies. We're about to take off!"

Lin Ye bit the flashlight and suddenly exerted force with both legs.

Amidst Leng Yue's astonishment and Shuang Xing's excited exclamations, Lin Ye, carrying two top-quality female zombies whose combined age exceeded one thousand years, leaped directly into the bottomless Seven Aperture Soul-Locking Well!

"call!!!"

The feeling of weightlessness came instantly, and the wind howled wildly in my ears, accompanied by mournful howls.

The eerie wind from the bottom of the well seeped into Lin Ye's clothes like knives.

But in this extremely dangerous fall, he experienced an unprecedented and exhilarating sensation...
