Evil of all ages

Chapter 71 Dog Man

Ugly Master can already imagine the people who see his face.

They either look at him with strange eyes or cause him deep discomfort and generate aversion.

He thought Huang Taichu would do the same, but he saw that Huang Taichu's eyes were calm and unperturbed.

He didn't react in the slightest to his disfigured face.

"Who"

At this moment, Wang Shaoming heard a noise and dove backward.

A short while later, he came in carrying a petite little girl.

Huang Taichu recognized the little girl; she was the wildcat from the arena.

The little wildcat tried to struggle, but she was controlled by a powerful innate expert, so she couldn't break free.

When Ugly Master saw the little wildcat, he was also surprised, but he quickly realized that the little wildcat had secretly followed them from afar.

"Sect Master Wang, she is from my arena. I hope you will show mercy."

Ugly Master was worried that Wang Shaoming might hurt the little wildcat by hitting her too hard, so he quickly said something.

Wang Shaoming did not reply, but turned to look at the Ghost Emperor. Only when the Ghost Emperor nodded did he release the little wildcat.

The little wildcat, now free, quickly ran to Ugly Master's side and stared intently at the others like a fierce cat, as if protecting her feline master.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm not happy about this," said the Ugly Man in a dissatisfied tone.

“You are my creditor. My brother told me countless times before he died that I must pay back what I owe you.”

"If something happens to you and you die, who will I ask to repay my debt?"

Little Wildcat Mei answered.

"That's why you followed me, worried that something might happen to me."

Ugly Master is quite complicated. There are still people in this world who care about his safety, even though he is in debt.

Mei Xiaoqiao gave her a look: Otherwise, what did you think?

"One was disfigured, the other disfigured herself; an ugly man and an ugly woman, what a perfect match."

Huang Taichu couldn't help but chuckle.

His words made Mei Xiaoqiao stare at Huang Taichu like a cat with its fur standing on end, almost baring her teeth and claws.

"No rudeness allowed."

Ugly Master pulled Mei Xiaoqiao behind him to prevent her from dying there.

"Her brother wouldn't have used the ten thousand taels of gold he borrowed from you before he died, so he entrusted you to take care of her."

Huang Taichu asked curiously.

Ugly Master: "How could that be? I would never do such a losing business."

Huang Taichu: "Then where did her brother spend the ten thousand taels of gold he borrowed?"

Ugly Man: "How would I know? I'm not watching other people's wallets all the time."

Huang Taichu: "Then why are you protecting her?"

Ugly Man: "She owes me so much money. If something happens to her, who will pay it back?"

Huang Taichu smiled; these two were truly hypocritical.

Do you know why I'm looking for you?

Huang Taichu put aside the issue of men and women and looked at him with a smile.

"Know"

After thinking for a moment, Ugly Master replied.

"And what's your answer?"

Huang Taichu wanted to hear his reply.

"The Colosseum can be handed over to you."

"Gone?"

"Isn't the Colosseum enough?"

"not enough"

"You want to include me too?"

"right"

"Is it absolutely necessary to add it?"

"What do you think?"

……

Ugly Man fell silent.

After a long while, he finally looked up at Huang Taichu.

"I want to know what you plan to do after you take control of the Ghost Market?"

"Depends on my mood"

"depend on mood?"

Ugly Master's lips twitched. This kind of thing depends on his mood. Clearly, Huang Taichu is definitely not a qualified leader.

Having come this far, he had no way out; he had only two paths to choose from.

Refuse, or die!

Agreed, live!

He had considered rebelling, but the moment he saw Huang Taichu, he knew that this was someone he could not resist.

"Greetings, Lord Ghost Emperor"

In order to survive, he knelt down on one knee to show his loyalty.

He even pulled Mei Xiaoqiao down to her knees. "I love listening to stories, tell me your story."

Huang Taichu told him to stand up and speak.

“My surname is Lu, my given name is Tianyi, and I am…”

When Lu Tianyi finished speaking, Huang Taichu was surprised to find that this ugly man was actually a descendant of a loyal minister.

Since ancient times, it has not been easy to be a loyal minister. His father died advising the old emperor to depose the empress and asking the old emperor not to be obsessed with making elixirs of immortality.

This enraged the old emperor and gave his political enemies an opportunity.

Then his father died.

His whole family suffered; the men were exiled, and the women were sent to the brothel.

He was disfigured because his father's political enemies refused to let him go and had the prison guards do it.

He was originally supposed to die on the way to exile.

Who would have thought that if they encountered a mudslide, everyone else would die, and he would be the only one to survive.

Afterwards, he returned to the capital and hid in the ghost market.

"You've gathered quite a few acquired martial artists; are you seeking revenge?"

Huang Taichu asked calmly.

"That's right"

"Neither Xu Yushu, the Minister of Revenue, nor Shen Zhonghe, the corrupt Censor-in-Chief, are easy to approach."

Lu Tianyi said.

"It's true that they were your father's political enemies, but the one who truly carried out the killing was the old emperor. Didn't you ever think about taking revenge on the old emperor?"

Huang Taichu said with a wicked sense of humor.

"I want to, but I can't."

"Because my father was a loyal minister, he hoped until his death that the Da'an Dynasty would be peaceful and prosperous."

Lu Tianyi wanted to avenge his father, but he knew in his heart that if the old emperor died, the world would not be at peace, which was not what his father wanted to see.

"It must be said that in the final years of a dynasty, what is least lacking is people who are blindly loyal."

After Huang Taichu finished speaking, he waved for Lu Tianyi to step aside and looked toward the exit.

Lu Tianyi followed the Ghost Emperor's gaze to the main entrance, and soon the figures of the four people came into view.

Xia Chaojun walked in front, forming a triangle with Feng Zigui and Dai Yu behind him, protecting the snake woman in the middle.

It appears to be protection, but in reality, it's to prevent the snake woman from having any ulterior motives.

Lu Tianyi couldn't sense Xia Chaojun's martial arts level, but the three people behind him could.

Like him, they were both at the early stage of the innate realm.

Apart from the snake woman, who was invited along with him, all the other innate experts were subordinates of the Ghost Emperor.

This startled him; the Ghost Emperor's power was probably beyond his imagination.

Xia Chaojun brought the person over, then stepped aside to let the snake woman meet the Ghost Emperor.

"My charming little wife, you've arrived."

Huang Taichu smiled warmly and greeted Shangguan Yunyao.

Upon hearing the term "little darling wife," Xia Chaojun and Feng Zigui both trembled slightly: Oh no, the Ghost Emperor knows the Snake Woman.

They breathed a slight sigh of relief as they tried to recall how they had invited them.

Aside from a slight slip in tone, thankfully there was no other offense.

If he just bows his head and apologizes later, I believe the problem won't be too big.

"you you……"

On her way here, the closer Shangguan Yunyao got to Mingxin Pavilion, the more uneasy she felt.

Being beautiful is a sin, and she fears that the Ghost Emperor will be attracted to her beauty because of it.

They imprisoned her and treated her like a plaything.

The moment she stepped into Mingxin Pavilion, besides being full of vigilance, she also regretted not resisting and choosing to foolishly follow along.

When she finally saw the Ghost Emperor, she was stunned and stood there, somewhat at a loss.

How could it be that scoundrel!

Huang Taichu vanished into thin air and reappeared standing in front of Shangguan Yunyao.

When Lu Tianyi saw the Ghost Emperor vanish into thin air and then reappear, his fingers trembled, showing that he was extremely unsettled.

Grandmaster level!

He regarded the Ghost Emperor as a supreme master.

"Didn't I tell you that next time we meet, you'll see the real me?"

Seeing that Shangguan Yunyao was still unable to calm down, Huang Taichu hooked her nose with his finger.

"So you're not an ordinary person."

Shangguan Yunyao felt a little wronged and deceived.

“In a place like the Heavenly Prison, which devours people, and given the title of the son of the Ghost King, how could I possibly be an ordinary person?”

"You're accusing me of pretending to be an ordinary person to deceive you, but you're wrong about that."

"Even if I drink more snake wine than three cups, I will never get drunk if I don't want to."

"You said you wanted to stay away from the world of gangsters, marry a powerful person to protect you for life, or marry an ordinary person and live a low-key life."

"But are these really the best choices?"

“A person with immense power cannot hold power forever, and ordinary people cannot protect a beautiful flower like you.”

"Only someone with overwhelming power can protect you."

"I am not very talented, but I am shameless and second only to strength. I can protect you for life."
