Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

A Land Rover drove into the not-so-wealthy neighborhood.

This alarmed the entire neighborhood, and people started pointing and gossiping.

When the neighbors saw that it was Zhao Mengde who jumped out of the driver's seat, they immediately started shouting.

"Hey! Is this car yours, Mengde?"

"Did you win the lottery?"

"Mengde, you haven't gotten married yet this year, have you?"

"I've always seen how clever you are since you were little. You're sure to amount to something. And it just so happens that I have a beautiful granddaughter, Aunt Liu. How about..."

Zhao Mengde was about to shout that "It's not mine, it belongs to my brother," but Lu Ye stopped him with a smile.

Knowing that his good brother was saving face for him again, he held his head high and walked home under his watchful gaze.

They banged on the door loudly.

"Mom and Dad! I'm home! Come and see who's here!"

.........

The small house suddenly became crowded with a large number of people.

When Zhao Mengde's parents saw Lu Ye, they were both stunned for a moment. Lu Ye greeted them with a smile as always.

He used to frequently come to Zhao Mengde's house for meals when he was living on his own.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao quickly invited the people in, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

"I'll go help them," Hongluan said with a smile, and walked towards the slightly dilapidated kitchen.

Although she was reluctant to interact with ordinary people, Hongluan could tell from Lu Ye's attitude that these ordinary people were the ones Lu Ye valued.

She will naturally like the person her husband has chosen.

However, with such a beautiful woman in the kitchen, Zhao Ma naturally didn't dare let Hongluan actually do any cooking work; she only symbolically assisted.

Throughout this time, she couldn't help but steal glances at Hongluan, and then at Lu Ye sitting in the living room, as well as Jiang Yingqing and Ling Xin'er beside him. She was filled with shock and tentatively wanted to ask her what her relationship with Lu Ye was, and what the relationship was between those two equally beautiful girls outside.

Hongluan responded with a gentle smile.

After a few rounds, Zhao Ma became less nervous and started holding Hongluan's hand, chatting about this and that, even asking her if she had any other acquaintances and whether her own son had a chance.

Standing in the living room, Zhao Mengde's eyelids twitched violently when he saw his mother holding hands with Hongluan in the kitchen, trying to introduce him to a potential partner. He quickly called out.

"Mom! Stop chatting nonsense and hurry up and cook! Your son is starving!"

On the way here, he asked Lu Ye a question. He knew that Hong Luan was not human; her true form was an S-class female ghost in a wedding dress!

If my mom knew I was holding the hand of a weirdo with an S-class rating, she'd probably have a heart attack.

And I'm busy arranging blind dates for him?

Are you really not afraid that someone will chew him up and swallow him whole?

.........

I worked for more than an hour.

The table was laden with food, and it was packed with people.

Zhao Mengde had to go to his neighbor's house and bring back two stools before he could finally sit down.

Zhao's parents naturally sat together, while Zhao Mengde insisted on sitting next to Lu Ye. Hongluan, Jiang Yingqing, and Ling Xin'er sat to Lu Ye's left in turn. Chen Chen could only manage to get a small stool, but he ate with great relish.

Having not seen each other for a long time, Zhao Mengde insisted on having a drinking contest with Lu Ye, and also brought along his newly recognized second brother, Chen Chen.

But they clearly underestimated Lu Ye's current alcohol tolerance. After two or three rounds, they were already flushed, while Lu Ye was still drinking as if it were water.

However, they fought to a standstill with Chen Chen. Since it was a casual match, neither of them used their supernatural abilities.

"Oh my god, I haven't been this happy in a long time."

Zhao Mengde, feeling dizzy, picked up his chopsticks and tried to pick up a piece of rib, but after chewing it for a long time, he still couldn't chew it properly.

"Mom, the ribs you made today weren't cooked until they were tender; they're too tough to chew."

Foolish son.......

What you're holding is a bone; of course you can't chew it.

Zhao's mother was too embarrassed to speak.

Looking at Lu Ye, who was being fed food by others as soon as he opened his mouth, and then looking at his own son, who was gritting his teeth and struggling with a bone with his cheeks puffed out.

Zhao's parents could only sigh softly. Zhao's father raised his glass to Lu Ye and said, "Mengde has never been very smart or capable since he was a child. I can see that. Little Lu, you seem to be doing quite well now. Considering that you two have been friends since childhood, please take care of Mengde. I don't ask for great wealth or status, I just hope that he can live a peaceful life."

Lu drank the wine too. "Don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, he'll have a bowl of soup to drink."

Since it was a young person's turn to eat, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao sat on the sofa after they finished eating.

Lu ate at a leisurely pace, while Zhao Mengde and Chen Chen continued their competition, finishing all the wine in the house.

Chen Chen glanced at Lu Ye, and after receiving Lu Ye's nod, he made a phone call.

Less than ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Zhao's father went to open it, and a dozen or so burly men in black suits politely walked in.

They started packing and moving things as soon as they arrived.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Zhao Mengde stood up abruptly, but Chen Chen pressed him back down.

"Big brother, sit down. Leave the moving to them. Listen to me tonight, I'll make the arrangements."

"Moving? What are you moving to?" Zhao Mengde looked bewildered and was about to speak when Chen Chen gulped down another mouthful of wine.

After the meal was finished, all the furniture in the room was moved out.

"I was afraid the two elders would be nostalgic, so I didn't leave out any of their old belongings. We're just moving to a bigger place to live," Chen Chen said with a smile to the somewhat apprehensive Zhao's parents.

An hour later.

Looking at the magnificent three-story private villa in front of me, which covers at least a thousand square meters and has its own front and back gardens.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were stunned. "This... is the house we're moving to?"

Watching the two elders cautiously enter the villa, both reserved and delighted, Zhao Mengde turned around, patted Chen Chen on the shoulder, and rubbed his eyes, saying, "Thanks, Second Brother."

"Don't mention it, I paid for it, but it was my godfather's idea."

........

Lu didn't go to help Zhao Mengde's parents move to a new house. Instead, he took the three women for a stroll to an even more dilapidated old neighborhood.

Standing downstairs, I looked up at the unlit room on the top floor for a while, smiled, and said, "I used to live in that little house."

As I walked out of the residential area, thinking that I was already back, I took the three women to visit the Lu family's ancestral graves.

Although the ancestral graves were located in the deep mountains and forests outside the city, more than a hundred kilometers away, and it was the middle of the night, with Hongluan, an S-rank, around, he could go wherever he wanted.

In the quiet ancestral graveyard, Lu swept away the soil and weeds from each inconspicuous mound.

Even now, in his eyes, the Lu family's graves are still just like any ordinary old graves, without exuding any unusual aura.

But who would have thought that buried beneath these tombs were terrifying, monstrous emperors?

Hongluan and her two companions stood outside the cemetery, only able to watch from afar, because they discovered upon arrival that they couldn't actually enter the cemetery.

In fact, they did feel a sense of closeness on a spiritual level, since they were now also members of the Lu family who had been accepted. However, the pressure inside was too strong, and they could not enter and exit freely like Lu Ye.

"What's that empty space in the corner?" Jiang Yingqing noticed a small, very tidy empty space in the cemetery.

"That's a place I'll keep for myself in the future."

Lu Ye's words made the three women's expressions change.

"No, you're not allowed to die!"

"Haha." Lu Ye walked out of the cemetery. "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not going to die yet. You haven't given me a son yet. I'm leaving."

This time, when we returned to the ancestral graves, the ancestors should have sensed it, because Lu Ye just noticed several strange fluctuations. However, the ancestors did not show themselves, perhaps because showing themselves is not such an easy thing.

After visiting the ancestral graves, it was almost midnight when they returned to the hotel suite that Chen Chen had booked.

After spending some time with him, Jiang Yingqing returned to the eerie instance, saying she would give Lu Ye a surprise when he returned next time.

Hongluan whispered something to Ling Xin'er, then smiled gently at Lu Ye before snuggling into his chest to sleep.

So only Ling Xin'er, who had been deliberately left alone in the room, remained.

Ling Xin'er, who had just taken a bath, exuded a milky fragrance that filled the entire room. She walked in barefoot, her white pajamas faintly visible under the light.

"you........."

"Don't speak, just kiss me."

The next moment, Lu Ye's mouth was sealed shut.

Ling Xin'er was unusually passionate that night, constantly taking the initiative to take what she wanted.

The next morning, when Lu Ye opened his eyes, he found that Ling Xin'er had already woken up early and was quietly watching him.

"I might have to stay in Jiangnan City for a while longer, so I won't be able to go to the S-rank dungeon with you."

Lu Ye frowned: "Because of your family's situation?"

"Um........"

"That's easy, I'll do it."

Lu Ye sat up, intending to put on his clothes and call his underlings, but Ling Xin'er pressed him back down.

"Let me handle this myself first. After all, it's the Ling family. I should be done by the time you come back from the dungeon."

Since opening her heart to him and being with him, Ling Xin'er has become more talkative and less aloof. Now she even takes the initiative to insist on doing something.

"You'll probably meet my sister on your trip. She's always been very kind to me, but she's much more headstrong than me. And she's probably aware of what's going on between us. I'm worried she might misunderstand something, so I'm giving you this bracelet. She'll understand when she sees it."

Ling Xin'er tied a red rope bracelet to Lu Ye's wrist. It had a small crystal fish on it, and it looked like there was another one.

"wait for me."

Lu looked at her calmly: "Tell the Ling family that I'm only giving them this one chance. If they miss it, they'll be dead when I come to pick you up next time."

Seeing Lu Ye's stern face, Ling Xin'er gave him a final kiss on the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said, "Okay."

When Ling Xin'er walked out the door, Lu Ye got up and stood in front of the French windows. He saw a convoy of cars parked downstairs, and Ling Xin'er had already gotten into one of the cars, escorted by an elder from the Ling family.

He didn't need to ask Ling Xin'er what she needed to do back at the Ling family, nor did he care whether the Ling family would listen to Ling Xin'er.

Anyway, as long as he comes back next time and sees Ling Xin'er being wronged, the Ling family will suffer.

Ling Xin'er is his person, but the Ling family isn't.

He wouldn't be willing to use excessive force on a Simmons mattress; if someone bullied him, where would the Lu family's face be?

........

"Let's go! Let's go!"

The Land Rover roared to life amidst cheers and jubilation.

Zhao Mengde, who was about to embark on a new journey, seemed very excited and looked extremely energetic.

Chen Chen sat in the passenger seat, flanked by Zhao Mengde, who resembled Lu Ye's two bodyguards.

Sitting alone in the back seat, Lu Ye ate an apple while casually tossing a ghost-feeding device into the ghost coffin on his arm, taking stock of his current state.

The level of the Master of Deception is five realms, the realm of "Deception". The ability of the Master of Deception is double S-rank.

Yes, if he hadn't remembered this, he would have almost not noticed that he already had two S-rank abilities to control ghosts: [Thousand Curses] and [Breath of Bones].

A double S-level S-rank genius demon hunter, is there anyone else in the entire Great Xia Dynasty besides him?

S-rank abilities to control supernatural beings are inherently extremely powerful and mutually exclusive with other S-rank abilities, so it is extremely rare for a person to possess two S-rank abilities to control supernatural beings simultaneously.

But Lu also found that he didn't have this problem at all. The two S-class items stayed with him very harmoniously, without any conflict.

So this probably isn't his limit yet.

As for experiencing life, he is now on the path of conquering S-level dungeons.

After the S-rank dungeon, there will be the Eighteen Levels of Ghost Realm, and after the Eighteen Levels of Ghost Realm...

Thinking about it, it seems like I'm heading further and further underground.

They might soon be meeting the ancestors of the Lu family.

"By the way, are you going to enter the S-rank dungeon this time?" Lu Ye casually asked Chen Chen in front of him.

"I'm not going." Chen Chen shook his head without the slightest hesitation. "My life motto is to live well if I can live, and never do anything reckless. S-level dungeons are too dangerous. I almost died in one last time."

Lu Ye then looked at Zhao Mengde, who was driving.

Zhao Mengde was taken aback: "I can go?"

"What are you going to do? You're trash at the first level of the Demon Hunter realm, you can't even find the entrance to an S-rank dungeon." Chen Chen answered for him, then added, "I didn't mean to say you're bad, bro. It's all because S-rank dungeons are too strong, it's the dungeon's fault. Let's just stay alive and cheer each other on."

Zhao Mengde and Chen Chen started whispering to each other again.

"Then there should be one more spot for me?" Lu thought to himself.

Wu Qing had said that the S-rank instance they were going to this time was the one they had actually applied for. It was extremely dangerous, and the three academies had jointly sent six S-rank prodigies there. Naturally, the Mountain Ghost Academy also had two spots.

One was him, and the other...

"Holy crap, there's someone on the highway ahead!" Zhao Mengde, who was driving, exclaimed in surprise.

Without a second thought, Chen Chen shouted and commanded, "Hit him!"

He's definitely another one trying to scam people, just like the last time he stood on the highway.

"It wasn't just one person; there was a little girl riding on his neck, and a black cat was perched on the little girl's head!" Zhao Mengde quickly said, as the car was now traveling at over 200 km/h.

"A little girl and a black cat?" Chen Chen exclaimed in surprise. "Step on the brakes! You can't hit them."

Stab it!

The tires of the speeding Land Rover emitted a screeching sound.

Finally, it stopped just one meter away from the person standing in the middle of the highway, only one step away from hitting him.

Chen Chen rolled down the car window with a murderous look on his face. "Bai Ye! You dare to kidnap Lu Xiaoyao and come here to ambush us?"

Standing in the middle of the road is Bai Ye, the little girl riding on her neck is Lu Xiaoyao, and the black cat perched on Lu Xiaoyao's head is Lu Xiaohei.

"She kidnapped me."

Bai Ye opened the car door and got in, pointing to Lu Xiaoyao, whose little hand was tightly gripping his hair.

"She said if I didn't bring her to see you, she would rip out my hair and make me bald."

"You've really made something of yourself." Lu Ye reached out and picked Lu Xiaoyao up, pinching her cheek. "Didn't I tell you to stay with the principal for a while?"

"No." Lu Xiaoyao skillfully reached into his pocket and pulled out a chicken leg, revealing a happy expression. "Old man is too bored. I want to follow you, and I'll get to eat chicken legs too."

Bai Ye tidied his messy white hair and calmly said, "Let's go. I'm the second person to enter the S-rank dungeon from the Mountain Ghost Academy. Let's go together."

Lu smiled and said, "Then don't hold us back."

........

One day later.

The dusty Land Rover finally arrived at its destination.

Zhao Mengla opened the car door and stretched his tired body. Looking at the boundless sea in front of him, he exclaimed, "The sea is so damn blue!"

"The S-rank dungeon we're going to conquer this time is on the sea?"

"It should be."

"Then how do we get there?"

"Take a yacht." A luxurious private yacht slowly pulled up in front of them. Wu Qing stood on the deck and waved. "Come on up, there's no time."
