1008: Chapter 624 1008: Chapter 624 The Artifact Spirit of Hell Palace winked at Eryao and made a funny face before disappearing in front of them!
Eryao “…”
With everyone saying so, Eryao felt foolish to say anything more.
It was all due to those ghosts, and his own excessive curiosity.
He had taken on something that wasn’t his business to begin with—what a mess!
On the ninth floor, Eryao enjoyed the breakfast there, yet found it not as delicious as Green Ox’s cooking!
It was merely a change of taste, after finishing, he placed down a piece of Silver.
The silver was snatched, and there was no pressure in spending it!
Since arriving here yesterday, her appearance had become more composed, not the youthful look from before.
With this look, throwing on a Taoist’s robe and hat, she perfectly transformed into a Taoist with a touch of Immortal Qi!
“Dong dong dong dong”
The main gate of Zheng Residence was closed; it was already 9:00, and logically at this hour, even if they were to close the gate, there should be someone guarding it.
We have already posted requests for a Medicine Man, Mage, and High Monk.
The loud noise from last night left everyone in Zheng Residence restless; hardly able to sleep till dawn arrived.
Were anyone still able to care about opening the door at this time?
Even the kitchen staff who rise early to prepare breakfast were still in their quilts.
So terrified were they by last night’s disturbance, they passed the whole night listening to dreadful noises and were later scared senseless!
While Eryao was growing impatient waiting, finally, someone’s running footsteps… cracked the door open slightly, revealing a well-dressed figure standing outside.
“Excuse me, Lord, may I ask who you are?”
“Have your family not requested for a Mage?”
“You …?” The servant, only seeing an ordinary looking lord in front of him not dressed like a Feng Shui Master, felt skeptical!
His skepticism was not without reason; Eryao had disguised her Qi, moreover, after last night’s explosive sounds, none of the Mages and High Monks these days had dispelled the Evil Charm!
If the Evil Charm and ghosts hadn’t influenced the place, why then did they feel so chilling last night and the previous days?
“That’s right, lead the way…!” Eryao, irked by the servant’s doubtful look, thought of her Divine Dragon self—these ordinary ghosts were no match for her!
“My Lord, perhaps our family is still asleep, let me take you to the living room first!”
Eryao upon hearing the servant’s words, also observed with her Divine Sense that, except for that one room and that yard which she had sealed, there wasn’t any soundproofing in other areas.
Perhaps it was the loud disturbances last night that stunned everyone; if not fainting in their beds, then knocked out on the floor!
Entering the mansion, the cold Qi was so intense that normal people had already put on winter clothes, even though it was summer, and the guiding house servant was also wearing a cotton garment.
Eryao was led to the living room and sat in a chair, where the servant didn’t serve any tea and hurried out, seemingly afraid of staying there!
Eryao, being neglected, sat there without immediately dispelling the Evil Qi of the place.
She also sensed that it was daytime now, and the wedding procession from last night hadn’t left yet.
Hiding in Miss Zheng’s courtyard during the daytime could also mean that the confinement she created last night effectively trapped those ghosts in the courtyard, unable to escape nor enter the lady’s room!
The extreme noise they made at night was a contest of power during the confinement, depleting much of their vital energy, which also supports the ghosts’ abilities.
This depletion of vital energy was like weakening their abilities, and combined with the daytime which is disadvantageous for ghost activities, last night’s aggressive spirits turned weak and hide during the day!
Even the silliest of ghosts realized that they had encountered a formidable opponent, feeling the strong and oppressive aura as soon as they entered the mansion!
As time neared noon, on a sunny day with strong sunlight, the master and servants of the residence slowly came to their senses.
A maid entered the living room, and seeing Eryao suddenly, she gasped in fright: “Ah!”
Perhaps as an aftermath of last night, when the maid saw a stranger, her first thought brought back the horror of last night, and such a scream made almost everyone in the residence hear it!
The peaceful noon was disrupted by this frightened scream, and those who had been scared limp last night dared not leave the courtyard!
Of course, only the head of the family had the right to stay put, maids and old woman/servants had no such privilege and had to continue with their tasks!
The kitchen staff took a long time to prepare lunch and amidst urging, served the meal very late!
Eryao gave the screaming maid a disdainful look: “No manners.”
“Are you a human?” the maid screamed and had already fled to the door, peeking back covertly to see that the other hadn’t chased after her, but was still sitting in the same place!
The maid uttered her suspicion!
“Hmph, this deity is not human!” Eryao spoke the truth, as she was originally a Dragon Demon.
“Ah!
A monster has come in!
Everyone run!” The maid’s screaming voice spread out again.
Having just issued such a loud scream, already terrifying the nearby maids and old women/servants, her latest outcry urging others to run saw them fumbling over each other as they fled from the vicinity of the living room!
