Ch 101: The Ghost Bride
What else could it be besides that black cat?
But Li Hanzhou had already sensed something, and a Five Thunders Talisman was already prepared within his sleeve.
Just as the black cat was about to pounce on Li Hanzhou, a thunderclap boomed down from the sky, directly striking the cat.
“Meow!”
The black cat cried out miserably, then fell to the ground, its fate unknown.
The Old Woman was dumbfounded.
What happened?
Why did it suddenly thunder?
“Didn’t you see your cat?” Li Hanzhou shook his head.
“My cat…” The Old Woman went around Li Hanzhou, looking at the cat lying on the ground, now lifeless. Her crimson eyes turned even redder, and she glared at Li Hanzhou, saying, “You killed my cat!”
“Old Woman, don’t try to swindle me like that, I didn’t do anything,” Li Hanzhou quickly said.
“It was you!” The Old Woman’s voice became extremely shrill: “Return my cat, I demand your life!”
“A cat and you want my life? Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that’s your cat?” Li Hanzhou sneered: “When I came this morning, I saw your cat. Your cat wasn’t this… this fluffy.”
“I will kill you, kill you, kill you…”
The Old Woman’s eyes grew redder, her sharp teeth bared, as if she would devour Li Hanzhou the next second.
“Who do you think you’re talking to?!” Li Hanzhou frowned: “I don’t like to argue with you, Old Woman, don’t push me. Don’t think I don’t see through you, without that cat, you’re nothing!”
With these words, the Old Woman was startled; she clearly didn’t expect Li Hanzhou to see through her weakness.
That’s right, ghosts also have patterns when they kill.
Transcending this pattern, makes it impossible to kill.
Like that little girl before, someone needed to leave the house, or return her ball, then she could kill.
As for this Old Woman, she needed to use her cat to kill, but now that the cat is dead, she can only glare at Li Hanzhou with her bright red eyes, but can’t do anything to him.
“Come here, I need to ask you something,” Li Hanzhou saw that the Old Woman was intimidated.
“I…”
The Old Woman was at a loss; she had been seen through, what should she do?
“What about you?” Li Hanzhou frowned and asked: “What is going on at Zhou Mansion tonight? Why is there opera singing, in the middle of the night? What’s the commotion?”
“Tonight is the Young Master’s wedding,” the Old Woman had to say, “So it’s a bit lively.”
“Wedding?”
Li Hanzhou nodded: “Do you know where the Spring of Immortality is?”
“I don’t know.”
The Old Woman quickly said.
“I’ll ask you again, where is the Spring of Immortality?” Li Hanzhou’s tone calmed down, but this calm tone made the Old Woman shiver. She couldn’t help but look at the cat on the ground, and said with a mournful face: “I really don’t know where the Spring of Immortality is, maybe Master Zhou knows.”
“Where is your Master?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know anything, useless, go away.” Li Hanzhou didn’t bother with the Old Woman anymore, and decided to find Master Zhou of Zhou Mansion and ask about the Spring of Immortality.
Following the sound of the opera singing, Li Hanzhou walked into the large courtyard.
The courtyard was indeed very lively at the moment; many guests were sitting there, listening to the opera singers on stage.
Li Hanzhou didn’t understand what the people on the stage were singing, but the guests below were all staring intently at the stage, without making a sound; the scene was extremely eerie.
Li Hanzhou casually found a seat, then scanned everyone present, guessing who the Master was.
The singers on stage continued their singing, but Li Hanzhou searched for a long time without recognizing anyone.
At this moment, the opera singing suddenly stopped.
In an instant, the entire courtyard became incredibly silent.
The originally red lanterns now emitted a ghastly white radiance, illuminating the scene in a terrifying manner. Just as Li Hanzhou was about to ask someone where Master Zhou was, suddenly, all the guests turned their heads to look at Li Hanzhou.
They truly turned their heads!
Their heads twisted 180 degrees in a bizarre way, each face pale as paper, with rouge on their cheeks, and each giving Li Hanzhou a strange smile.
It was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
If someone shouted “Ghost!” or were scared enough to stand up from their chairs, or run away, they could kill!
They stared at Li Hanzhou in this way in order to surprise him, and kill him the moment his Divine Soul was unguarded.
However, Li Hanzhou saw them all staring at him in this bizarre way.
“What are you looking at?” Li Hanzhou angrily scolded.
The ghosts were stunned.
How could this person be so uncouth?
“I’m asking you something, where is your Master Zhou?” Li Hanzhou asked the ghost sitting closest to him.
The ghost, being asked a question, didn’t know what to say for a moment.
This was the first time someone had asked him a question.
Couldn’t he respect his identity as a ghost?
Wasn’t he scared at all?
The ghost shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
The shaking was a bit too forceful, and it actually shook his head off.
“Useless.” Li Hanzhou sighed.
“Sir, are you looking for my Master?” At this moment, a hoarse voice came.
Li Hanzhou looked back and found it was the Elderly Person who had opened the door for him earlier.
Holding a white lantern, the Elderly Person said with a strange smile: “Sir, if you want to see the Master, please follow me.”
“Good.”
Li Hanzhou stood up and followed the Elderly Person.
The Elderly Person led Li Hanzhou to a courtyard, very quiet; ahead was an ancient house.
“The Master is inside, please go in yourself.”
After speaking, the Elderly Person turned and left.
Li Hanzhou looked at the house in front of him, sneered, and pushed open the door.
“Master Zhou…”
However, after entering, Li Hanzhou was stunned.
Several candles were lit inside, white silk stretched across the room, and a white wedding character was pasted on the wall!
Meanwhile, on the bed, sat a woman.
She was wearing a burial outfit; her clothes moved without wind, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
A red veil covered her head, but beneath it came an eerie voice.
As Li Hanzhou entered the room, the door behind him slammed shut!
“You’ve come…” the Bride’s voice came.
The voice made everyone’s goosebumps rise.
