Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xie's eyes instantly sharpened, showing some disbelief:

"If you had something of this caliber, would you tell others? If you were to say that to me in a moment of panic, you should know what the consequences would be."

"How could I dare!"

Di'ao looked tense and spoke urgently:

"It's true! If he hadn't accidentally let it slip while we were drinking, I wouldn't have known! But whether he's still there or not, I really don't know, but I can ask him for you! Really!"

Qi Xie narrowed his eyes and looked directly into Di Ao's eyes.

After a long while, until Di Ao's forehead was slightly sweaty, Qi Xie finally nodded gently:

"Your friend is really unlucky to have such a bad friend... But at least you've been spared for now."

Di'ao felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and his face lit up with ecstatic joy:

"Thank you so much, boss! Thank you so much, boss!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head, intending to kowtow to Qi Xie twice more.

"Alright, alright, the new China has been around for so many years and you're still playing these tricks. Get up."

Qi Xie waved his hand, not caring.

"Hey! Thanks a lot, boss! Hehehe!"

Di Ao was taken aback at first, then chuckled and stood up nimbly.

"Alright, that's enough."

Qi Xie tossed the blood axe over his shoulder and said calmly:

"Let's keep things separate. You threatened me with harsh words, so I'll beat you up and take your two dangerous and bizarre items. That'll settle things once and for all."

"You helping me connect with your friend is another matter. Since that's the case, I won't take your things for nothing. In this instance, I'll protect you a little; consider it a trade."

Di'ao froze again. After a full five seconds, he pursed his lips and gave a thumbs-up with his right hand.

"The boss is generous!"

Qi Xie ignored him and looked at Wang Shan again:

"You too, I won't take your level four sealed artifact for nothing. Don't stray too far from me, I'll lend a hand if you're in trouble."

Wang Shan's eyes flickered, and his gaze towards Qi Xie held even more respect:

"Thank you very much, Luo... Boss."

Qi Xie: "You son of a bitch..."

Xue Jiao, standing next to Di Ao, rolled her eyes, then leaned closer to Qi Xie with seductive eyes, giving him a pitiful look, and sweetly called out:

"Big brother~"

"roll."

"Okay."

Xuejiao slunk back.

However, Di'ao quietly tugged at her and whispered words of comfort:

"It's okay, girl. Stay close to me later. I'll protect you if you want to protect me."

Xuejiao blinked, then smiled sweetly and nodded emphatically:

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Di'ao!"

Qi Xie glanced at her silently, without saying anything, but picked up the axe and led the way into the house.

The live stream chat exploded with excitement:

"This big shot is really ruthless towards women, showing no mercy whatsoever, treating men and women equally."

"Heh, you just look down on him. How do you think you got the title of 'Lolicon Master'?"

"Lolicon Master: Go back, you're too old."

"I'm so excited! The lolicon master is finally going to move forward!"

"The Demon King's Guardian you requested is now online! If it doesn't kill you in three axe blows, your order is cancelled!"

"The Bloodaxe Butcher is leading a team; we're here to hack and slash at people's weddings, not to steal the bride!"

"Speaking of which, the rules say you can't sit in the wrong seats, but that old lady was strangely killed before seating was even assigned. How are they supposed to find their places?"

……

……

It was already late, and the dark sky was devoid of stars and moon.

Inside the courtyard, lanterns were set up at regular intervals, burning dimly and casting a faint candlelight that made it difficult to see.

As the group stepped out of the main hall, they walked a distance along the blue brick path into the depths of the house, where a very large courtyard came into view.

However, under the dim candlelight, everyone in the group except Qi Xie showed some surprise.

The courtyard, shrouded in darkness, came into view, creating an eerie scene.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and was now filled with seven or eight round tables, each with a different number of people sitting around it, as if waiting for the feast to begin.

Further inside the courtyard, near the back hall, a platform was erected using bright red curtains and lacquered wood, presumably the place where the formal wedding ceremony would be held.

Whoosh—!

A cold wind howled, and the figure at the table swayed a few times.

With the help of the flickering candlelight, everyone could make out the figures.

They were all paper figures!

These paper figures are incredibly lifelike, decorated as if they were from the Republican era, but their pale faces and slightly yellowed, oxidized colors are quite unsettling.

"These...these paper figures...are they all eerie?"

Bai Yiyi was completely shocked.

Even though she had seen the strategy guide beforehand, there were still more paper figures than before.

Clearly, the information she saw was slightly outdated; the instance had evolved again.

Wang Shan adjusted his glasses and spoke with a solemn expression:

"Keep your voice down. The rules say not to make loud noise and disturb other guests. If we provoke so many strange creatures to attack at the same time, it will be troublesome..."

Di Ao turned his head, wanting to ask Qi Xie for his opinion.

But the spot where Qi Xie had just been was now empty.

"Huh? Where's the big boss?"

Di Ao was taken aback.

Looking ahead, my eyelids started twitching.

Suddenly, Qi Xie appeared at a round table, casually pulled over a chair, and sat down!

In an instant!

The four paper figures at the table all turned to look at Qi Xie, their faces bearing eerie smiles.

Qi Xie was quite frank, speaking his mind directly, glancing sideways at the paper figure beside him:

"What are you looking at?"

"Young man...you're sitting in the wrong seat..."

"What do you mean I sat in the wrong seat? I saw no one was there, so I sat down. Once I sat down, it's mine."

Qi Xie was extremely friendly, with his legs crossed and his head tilted to look down on people.

"Hehehe...Young man, you've got the wrong seat...and there's a price to pay for that..."

The four paper figures slowly rose, their eerie smiles gradually turning sinister, eager to try.

At the same time, a fifth paper figure suddenly appeared behind Qi Xie, its crimson eyes, adorned with cinnabar, fixed intently on Qi Xie, its voice chilling:

"You...sat in my seat..."

Whoosh!

A flash of blood.

The fifth paper figure was split in two from head to toe, instantly turning into shredded paper that fell to the ground.

The four paper figures paused in their slow ascent, then naturally sat back down, turning their heads away from Qi Xie.

Qi Xie sheathed his blood axe with one hand and slung it over his shoulder. He glanced at the other paper figures and said in a roguish manner:

"This seat is empty now, is it okay for me to sit here?"

"No problem, no problem, hehehe..."

A paper figure spoke softly, its kind tone trembling slightly.

That's absolutely terrifying!

One of their companions was gone before it could even finish speaking!

Moreover, from beginning to end, Qi Xie didn't even leave the stool; he simply swiftly killed the paper figure with a single axe stroke!

Even his crossed legs haven't changed!

"Hehehe... You guys are fine, but I'm the one with the problem..."

Qi Xie suddenly said in a low voice:

"Look, I still have companions who don't have seats. But I don't know if the other empty seats are occupied..."

"How about this? You four, go die, and that will free up four spots for my comrades... What do you think?"

The voice was extremely arrogant and not at all deliberately lowered; it could be heard throughout the entire courtyard.

In an instant, all the paper figures turned to look at Qi Xie.

"Listen, young man..."

The paper figure, under Qi Xie's gaze, trembled slightly, and gritted its teeth, speaking with a fierce but weak tone:

"We know you're strong, so we're giving you face. Don't push your luck and make things difficult for us..."

"Difficult to handle?"

Qi Xie suddenly let out a sinister laugh and abruptly overturned the table:

"If it's too difficult, then let's not do it!"
