Chapter 741 ("Wealthy Household")
"Dad, Uncle Skeleton, Mom has cooked the meal." A chubby little boy walked out of the thatched cottage, his face beaming with a happy smile.
Inside the cottage, Mengmeng was setting the food on the table, her face displaying a gentle smile. This family of three lived a contented life here.
Long Aotian put away his sword and let out a sigh of relief. Through training with the Death Assassin, he realised the vast gap between them. He was no match for the Death Assassin at all.
If the Death Assassin wanted to, he could kill Long Aotian in an instant.
It was truly terrifying.
"Master, come inside and have your meal. Don't always wait for us. It makes me feel bad," Long Aotian hurriedly grabbed the Death Assassin's arm and pulled him towards the house.
If he hadn't pulled him this time, Long Aotian would have been free. But for some reason, Long Aotian inexplicably wanted to forcefully bring the Death Assassin into the house.
Such is fate.
The Death Assassin didn't need to eat, and of course, he couldn't eat either.
Did you expect me to sit there and watch you and your family eat?
Being forcibly dragged into the small thatched cottage, the Death Assassin could only sit down.
"Come and taste the delicious food my wife cooked. It's super tasty." Long Aotian was no longer the same as before. He had changed and no longer had that arrogant air. He treated people well, and most importantly, he no longer had thoughts of having a harem. He only wanted to accompany his wife and child.
"Uncle Skeleton, my mom's cooking is really delicious." Little Long Yan happily said, even offering food to the Death Assassin. He was so sensible.
Meng Meng felt a little embarrassed by the praise from her father and son. "It's just plain food..."
"Wife, don't be modest. The Master is not an outsider, and besides... it's nice to have the Master join us for a meal." Long Aotian said.
The Death Assassin: "..."
However, just as the Death Assassin felt gloomy, he suddenly felt a strange aura. It seemed like he was about to leave this world!
What's going on?
Long Aotian sensed the Death Assassin's change and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
The Death Assassin grabbed Long Aotian's wrist! His empty eyes gleamed with red light, and his body seemed to fade away. The same thing happened to Long Aotian, who was caught by the Death Assassin. His body also became faint.
This meant that his master was about to leave this world, and as a summoning, he would leave with his master!
But his master's orders still needed to be completed, and he had to watch over Long Aotian!
"Aotian, what's happening to you?" Meng Meng also grabbed her husband's arm.
"Dad, Mom... What's happening to you?" Long Yan was frightened and cried out, hugging his mother.
Before Long Aotian could inquire further...
The four of them instantly disappeared from the small thatched cottage. The food on the table was still steaming, but there was no one left to taste it.
······
"Where are we?" Ye Hua asked with a heavy voice, his expression not looking good because it was different from what he had anticipated.
Looking around, the trees were withered, there was no green grass on the ground, and no flowers to welcome his arrival.
All that remained was the bone-chilling wind.
Ye Hua's question left his subordinates puzzled.
Zi Shan and Li Hun, as women from the divine realm, had never been to the vast Cangluo Continent, so they didn't know.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were even more clueless.
Donghuang Li and Ye Yan were already happily running around, and Ye Shen and Ye Liu looked excited. They knew why their father had waited for five years; it was to see them grow up!
It meant that their father was about to assign them tasks!
They were so excited! They must complete the tasks assigned by their father and show him that they could carry the banner of the Ye family.
The members of the Seven Deadly Sins also didn't know where they were.
Because...
The place where they fought along Ye Hua was quite beautiful, unlike this desolate place...
It was too miserable.
Wei Chang respectfully said, "Please calm down, Your Honor. Judging from the surroundings, we should have appeared in the northern region, and this area lacks vegetation, indicating that it should be in the western direction of the north."
Wei Chang made his guess based on his own experience.
Upon hearing Wei Chang's words about the western direction of the north, Ye Hua started to believe. The northwest was vast, to the point where one would doubt life. The area was complex and chaotic.
And it was an ungoverned area.
Every sect controlled a vast territory, and within this range, the royal families and nobles needed to pay "protection fees" to the sects.
In the Cangluo Continent, sects held more power than the royal family.
'This deity had planned to become the emperor. If anyone dared to ask this deity for protection fees, this deity would make them despair and doubt their lives.'
"Bai Gu!"
"Here, Your Honor!"
"Go and check the surrounding area... see if there's any... wealthy household where we can stay." Ye Hua said calmly. His two wives were shrewd.
But Ye Hua secretly transmitted to Bai Gu, "Go and check the nearest imperial city!"
"Yes!" Bai Gu, invisible in the air, received the order and disappeared in an instant.
It must be said that Bai Gu was skilled in gathering intelligence.
After glancing at his subordinates, it seemed like they had nothing to do.
"Let's start with a barbecue. Yi Hong, do you have all the tools?" Ye Hua said casually.
"Your Honor, we have everything with us."
"Then let's get everything set up."
"Yes, Your Honor!"
Yi Hong and Lu Hong immediately started setting up the barbecue grill.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were completely puzzled.
Finally, Donghuang Baizhi couldn't help but ask, "Ye Hua, are you here for revenge or for a barbecue?"
Ye Hua was busy skewering the meat, truly enjoying himself...
"Wasn't Bai Gu supposed to gather intelligence? Let's fill our stomachs first. Dou Fushi, set up the tents. We'll sleep here tonight."
Everyone: "..."
They felt that Your Honor wasn't seeking revenge, but rather, he had changed the location for a vacation.
With a picnic-like atmosphere, everyone started barbecuing.
Moreover, the wives of the subordinates showcased their talents—singing and dancing.
Lie Gu's four wives were truly outstanding. They could sing and dance. Watching Lie Gu, this little man, and seeing his four wives perform, with a hint of sweat on his forehead, he immediately took out a tissue to wipe it off.
An exceptionally good man.
As the sky gradually darkened, in this desolate and uninhabited place, the campfire appeared so bright.
"Your Honor!" Suddenly, Bai Gu's voice sounded in the air. Ye Hua placed his beer on the ground, and all the subordinates stopped talking, standing up respectfully.
Ye Hua sat on the ground and asked calmly, "Did you find it?"
"Your Honor, we have found it. There's a 'Wealthy Household' about ten thousand kilometres to the north."
Ye Hua frowned, "The nearest one?"
"Yes, Your Honor."
Ye Hua had originally planned to find the nearest one, to see who was the most unlucky. It seemed like this place was the most unfortunate.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Their husband was really something. He continued to play along, let's see how far he would go. Calling it a 'Wealthy Household,' who knows what mischief he had in mind.
