Dating the Strongest Boss-Chapter 106 - Old Spirit Manor

[I Want To Eat Spicy Strips: Who in the world is it?

Dark Moon Strong Winds: I just rushed over from the next livestream room, it’s definitely not Du Chonghua or Zhao Junlu.

Be Slim Not Fat: Damn, it’s not Duan Aoming and Su Lele either!

Potato Chips Are So Delicious: No way, I watched Annie’s, but obviously, it’s not Wang Xueke either!

Duckbill hat:???? Then won’t all six of the people not be it?

Little Dinosaur: ????

Frog Prince: Speaking of which, did y’all forget about the assistant sitting in the corner?

Holding One’s Hand: !!!]

The six people glanced at each other, neither confirming nor denying.

The old woman maintained a smile on her face. Her teeth were somewhat yellowed, and the gaps between her aging teeth had become quite large. When she opened her mouth, you could clearly see her teeth.

“Would the gentleman with tea leaves in his teacup please stand up.”

The hint made it quite obvious, it’s a male.

The boys looked at each other in shock, their eyes searching for confirmation.

Is it you?

No.

But it isn’t me either!

They communicated with each other through discreet gestures and small head movements, before reaching the conclusion that none of them were it!

“How is this possible?”

In an instant, everyones’ brain waves linked up and they collectively turned their gaze towards Xiao Chen, who was sitting in the corner.

Their expressions held not just disbelief but also a certain amount of schadenfreude.

After all, no one wanted to become the bride of a ghost. It’s said that humans and ghosts have different paths, separated by yin and yang, and being with a ghost could shorten one’s life!

Xiao Chen’s gaze appeared dignified, showing no signs of embarrassment. His expression was completely hidden, but hidden or not, it was evident that he was completely unfazed. He didn’t seem like someone who had been chosen at all!

Xiao Chen, seemingly oblivious to the attention, finally noticed everyone’s gaze. He pursed his lips, face stoic, and calmly said, “It’s not me either.”

“…………”

“…………”

The surroundings immediately fell into an eerie silence, and people quietly averted their gaze once more.

Except for Zhao Junlu, who had seen Xiao Chen’s true appearance, the thoughts of the others were all, “I knew it, how could it be him, such a ugly weirdo.”

[Towel: It isn’t the assistant? Then who else could it be?

Squirrel Showdown: There can’t be someone we can’t see sitting around, right&#k2026;&#k2026;

Frequent Hand Washing: I’m getting more and more confused by this inexplicable development. Is the domineering ghost trying to snatch a poor unsuspecting husband?

I Smell Delicious: Upstairs, here’s a pen, write it down for me!]

The old woman, after giving Xiao Chen a deep look, surprisingly didn’t expose his lie and continued without changing her expression, “It seems our master wants to observe a bit more. In that case, from today onwards, you’ll stay here.”

This statement was astonishing, sparking a wave of shock.

“……”

“……”

The six people once again exchanged bewildered glances, standing there, unsure if they should be terrifyingly or delightfully surprised.

The old woman picked up the spirit tablet again, and using her cane to support herself, she moved towards the same door through which she had entered. Her movements were neither fast nor slow. Before the others could fully react, she had already disappeared from their sight.

Xiao Chen, who had received the old woman’s benevolent gaze, remained seated in his original position, still expressionless.

When Du Chonghua saw the old woman leaving, he immediately got up from his chair to catch up with her.

He had many questions inside that he wanted to ask her.

However, when he attempted to step through the door, his head suddenly collided with something solid, and he was violently thrown back, as if struck by an invisible force.

With a “duong” sound, Du Chonghua felt his head spinning, stars spinning above his head. He was in severe pain.

Du Chonghua, left without a center of balance, was aggressively thrown to the ground.

A massive bump had formed on his forehead, and during the collision, his phone had slipped from his hand, crashing heavily onto the ground with a loud sound.

The onlookers were shocked.

Du Chonghua, struggling to stand up straight, tentatively reaching out to touch the invisible barrier that blocked his way. As soon as his hand made contact, he was shocked by an electric current, causing him to jump back.

Damn it!

They can’t leave now!

Tonight’s experience has shattered everyone’s understanding of the world, even the fans watching the livestream feel like all the years they spent studying were in vain. There were really ghosts in this damn world!

“Wh-what should we do now?” Annie said hesitatingly. She was terrified now, and realized she shouldn’t have come here. She would’ve been better off staying home and peacefully being an online influencer, easily earning tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a month.

When Su Lele heard her words, she barked out a laugh, expressing her disdain and contempt.

Annie, upon hearing her laugh, felt her eyes welling up, not out of sadness but out of anger.

If it weren’t for Xiao Chen, she wouldn’t have made such a big fool of herself during her livestream. If it weren’t for Su Lele, her nose wouldn’t have broken, her face wouldn’t have contorted, and she wouldn’t have lost so many followers.

These two people, she wouldn’t let either of them go!

Weirdly, it was Zhao Junlu who went ahead and asked something that shouldn’t have been asked during that moment, “Can we eat the food on this table?”

Without waiting for confirmation or any reply, he simply sat down and started eating with big mouthfuls.

[Big Darling: Aaah, my son is so cute! Mommy loves you! What do you want to eat? Mommy will buy it all for you!

Meow: Ahahaha, Junlu is too cute. He must have been hungry for a while!

Sunflower: Tsk, at a time like this, you’re still thinking about eating. You might as well overeat and call it a day!

Sweet Tooth: Interrupting someone like this is quite impolite……]

Du Chonghua looked around the dimly lit environment with a perfectly square layout. After careful counting, there were eight rooms, with only one being the master bedroom, and the rest were side rooms.

After contemplating for a moment, he responded, “How about we search these rooms for clues first and see if it might be of any help to us?”

The others agreed with his suggestion.

“Um, you guys go ahead. I’ll eat a little bit more!” Zhao Junlu’s cheeks were puffed up, continuing to munch on food while speaking muffledly.

Du Chonghua rolled his eyes, feeling a surge of obscure anger but suppressed it. Finally, he spoke coldly, “Suit yourself.”

Xiao Chen glanced back at Zhao Junlu, who was eating whole heartedly. The corner of his mouth was lifted slightly, his phoenix eyes revealing a hint of amusement.

Heh.

He stoically left.

Everyone left to start searching for clues, and only thin back silhouettes were seen.

A strange glint flashed in Zhao Junlu’s eyes, and he spat out the food he had in his mouth.

His seat was right next to Xiao Chen. When he had checked the teacups for tea leaves, he had discreetly stolen a glance at Xiao Chen’s teacup.

Although he couldn’t be a hundred percent certain, he was at least sixty percent sure that he had seen something in Xiao Chen’s teacup!

With that trail of thought, Zhao Junlu’s expression became slightly twisted and displayed a hint of craziness.

He couldn’t stand Xiao Chen, who let him have that cursed face! He deserved to stay here and marry the ghost!

Zhao Junlu’s phone was placed flat on the table. The fans in the livestream room couldn’t see his expression, so they had no idea what he was up to.

He gently grasped the top of Xiao Chen’s teacup lid, with a smug expression as though he was sure of his victory, opened the cup, only to end up standing there foolishly.

F*ck, there was nothing there!

How could this be.

Zhao Junlu’s eyes were wide open, seemingly bloodshot, as if he was about to pop his eyeballs out.

He stood up again and started inspecting the tea sets of the other people, but the result was the same without exception.

Once Zhao Junlu received the confirmation, he couldn’t believe it and sat back in his original seat, grinding his teeth.

It was actually all true!

Zhao Junlu, who was lost in his own turbulent feelings, failed to notice that his ears, eyes, and nose had inexplicably begun to bleed, with the bleeding becoming increasingly severe.

The neatly arranged aromatic dishes on the table instantly turned rotten, covered in a thick layer of mold and emitting a foul smell.

A dark, sinister gas emanated off of Zhao Junlu.

[Worldly Traveler: ?? Why is Junlu not talking and being so silent?

Like a Dream: I have a bad feeling about this…]

Du Chonghua carefully pushed open the wooden door of the master bedroom, possibly still traumatized by his earlier incident. He was extremely cautious, confirming multiple times for any invisible barriers, before finally extending his leg to step inside.

Xiao Chen, as usual, followed behind as the last person.

As soon as he took a step forward, he could clearly feel something caressing his thigh/groin area, with an extremely gentle touch and hints of something inexplicit.

“………”

Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile, and when no one was paying attention, he slightly bent his waist and reached his hand out to directly stop the culprit that was teasing him continuously.

He whispered, “Don’t fuss.”

His tone was both indulgent and gentle, showing no signs of rejection.

It was evident that the entity didn’t intend to let him off so easily. After being prohibited from touching that part, it slowly moved upward, and caressed the young man’s slender waist instead.

Xiao Chen could even hear the man’s panting as his lips brushed against his earlobe.

“………” Xiao Chen suddenly wanted to laugh but managed to suppress it, avoiding any slip-ups.

The man didn’t pester him for long, and soon Xiao Chen felt the harassment disappear. However, just before leaving, he also imprinted a light kiss on his lips.

The room’s layout was the same as the courtyard, adorned with red ribbons, red lanterns, red candles, and red “Double Happiness” symbols, exuding a festive atmosphere.

As soon as they entered, the group could sense an extreme opulence and the scent of money in the air.

The room was large and filled with numerous antiques and calligraphy pieces. Those with knowledge, like Du Chonghua, could tell at a glance that even the random objects in the room were made of real gold and silver, adorned with jade and precious gemstones.

However, the group had only taken a couple of steps into the room before suddenly freezing in their tracks. They exchanged glances, their hearts filled with fear and trepidation.

That spirit tablet laying on the table, isn’t that the one that the old woman had just taken away?

How could it appear here?

Wait a minute!

If that was the case, wasn’t this room the room of the owner of this old manor?

As soon as that thought crossed their minds, a chill ran down their spines, and their scalps began to tingle as if they were in an ice-cold cellar.

Before they could even fully realize the danger and hurriedly make their escape, the wide-open wooden door was abruptly shut by an unexpected gust of wind, accompanied by a loud bang, sealing them inside.

F*ck.

The drama’s just getting started hehehe

(Xiao Chen’s hubby does have some grubby hands though…)
