Chapter 138 Listen to Me, Thank You

If there were a song to represent Mingmei’s mood right now, it would probably be:

"Listen to me, thank you, because of you…"

The mere thought of Lu Xiaoyao belting out that line made Mingmei want to log off at light speed!

"Huh? Isn't that the boss who sells boxed lunches in town? When did he learn feng shui?"

The surrounding NPCs were also confused.

"Could it be that Old Master Zhang didn't agree with his marriage to Young Master Zhang, so he became a monk on the mountain?"

"Huh! Really?"

Finally, these words reached Lu Xiaoyao's ears.

"Oh my god! You're the boxed lunch seller!" At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao finally realized that the person standing here might not be her classmate, but another possibility—a boxed lunch merchant!

Faced with Lu Xiaoyao's belated declaration, Mingmei didn't want to reply with any expression or words.

Besides, the occasion wasn't right.

"I don't agree!!"

Old Master Zhang roared, drawing everyone's attention back. He was trembling with anger, his fingers shaking, and his speech was slurred. "She's not suitable, you can't marry her! She's not worthy!"

"What's not suitable? This is perfect, okay?! You old geezer, can you even talk?!"

Before Mu Chen could even open his mouth, Lu Xiaoyao was already worked up!

Seriously? This was her favorite CP, okay? How could she not be worthy?!

She could pretend not to hear or know if you said it in private.

But to say it out in the open, in front of Lu Xiaoyao, that her favorite CP wasn't worthy, that was just asking for trouble.

"We sisters are beautiful and rich, what's not good enough for your son? Your whole family is weird from top to bottom, running to a graveyard to get married, anyone who marries into your family is cursed for eight lifetimes, okay?!"

After shouting, Lu Xiaoyao belatedly remembered, oh, they seemed to be in a graveyard right now =.=

So, were her words a bit too much?

Turning her head again, Lu Xiaoyao looked at the paper effigies who had been whispering to each other.

One had eyes that glowed green like ghostly flames in the night. Looking further away, the white funeral banners were paired with large red lanterns. The white, green, and red color scheme, combined with this ghostly place, immediately made Lu Xiaoyao shrink her neck and shut up.

"Since you're here today, none of you will leave! Bride… if you want to marry her, that's fine…"

For the sake of those three brides who didn't seem very proper, Old Master Zhang finally decided to compromise.

Old Master Zhang took a deep look at Mingmei beside Mu Chen, and finally relented: "But you have to marry those three as well."

Mingmei: ??

Lu Xiaoyao: ?????

Zhen Po: ???

Wang Wenfei: …

What was he thinking?

Mu Chen smiled when he heard this, but didn't make a sound. However, Lu Xiaoyao and the others had already heard Mu Chen's command—[Take off your wedding gowns and run towards the outside of the cemetery, your people are waiting there, then charge back in!]

Hearing this, Zhen Po immediately stripped on the spot. Mingmei only heard a chorus of "Wow~~" around her, then everything went dark as her vision was covered by Mu Chen's large hand.

Mu Chen figured he was tormented enough by watching a muscular man strip down to only a dudou.

Immediately after, someone shouted, "The bride is running away!" and the surroundings instantly erupted into chaos. Old Master Zhang's panicked shout of "Catch them!" also sounded very flustered.

Taking advantage of the sudden chaos, Mu Chen grabbed Mingmei and ran towards the depths of the graveyard…

"Damn it! We haven't even started yet!"

Qi Hai Kui and the others were completely dumbfounded. They were hiding outside the cemetery and had just discovered that the mysterious merchant behind them had disappeared. They were worried when a commotion suddenly broke out inside the cemetery. Before they could react, they saw a man wearing a red dudou running towards them in the lead!

Qi Hai Kui: 0.0!! What a pervert??

Scared, want to puke!

"Brother!"

Zhen Hu was overjoyed to see Zhen Po, but his expression immediately changed when he saw the swarming paper effigies behind him. He quickly waved his hand to summon the little people around him to swarm forward, almost scaring Zhen Po and the others to death!

"What the hell are these things?"

A group of fierce-looking little ghosts less than a thigh high were incredibly strong. Lu Xiaoyao took a deep breath and was shocked when she turned around and saw this scene.

"This is the combat power from the boxed lunches, oh…"

Qi Hai Kui had just started to explain when he remembered the fact that Mingmei was missing, and said with frustration, "It's a pity you didn't meet the merchant NPC, otherwise you could buy boxed lunches and get these… twenty with each box!"

"Actually… we did meet him."

When the mysterious merchant was mentioned, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Lu Xiaoyao's face, especially Lu Xiaoyao, who wanted to bury her head in the ground right now.

What had she done?

He was clearly an NPC, but she had mistaken him for Mingmei and even said he was a feng shui master!

She almost drew the wrong aggro on him!

"It's just that he…"

Wang Wenfei said, looking back as well. It seemed that they had also lost the mysterious merchant.

"He's with the Boss! What's there to worry about?"

Zhen Po was the first to adjust and had already rushed forward with Zhen Hu to knock down a paper effigy and strip off its clothes to put on himself!

"Didn't the Boss just say? Charge in first!"

Considering that his life was still in the other's hands, and that the Boss seemed to know where the Zerg were, why waste time here instead of charging in?

Qi Hai Kui and Zhen Hu were confused, so Lu Xiaoyao briefly explained their "cooperative relationship" with the Boss in this round, and that it was important to charge in now.

"Yeah, it seems we really have to go in. These paper effigies are clearly no longer listening to Young Master Zhang, which means the Zerg are causing trouble here. Let's charge in!"

…

Mingmei and Mu Chen charged into the depths of the Zhang family's cemetery. Mingmei heard Old Master Zhang's intermittent shouts behind them. She turned her head sharply and saw Old Master Zhang's pale, lifeless face, with a blue light flickering in the darkness, getting closer and closer to them.

"Don't worry about him, his body has long been lent to the evil spirits in this cemetery."

"Evil spirits… aren't you one?" Hearing Mu Chen's words, Mingmei realized that she seemed to know too little about the knowledge of this newbie village.

"Knowing that I'm so powerful, can I be called a Ghost King without some underlings?"

"So, you admit that you were betrayed by your underlings?"

Mu Chen laughed at Mingmei's teasing words.

At the same time, a layer of black patterns faintly appeared on his red wedding gown. Mingmei looked at it in surprise, and was about to say something when Mu Chen suddenly raised his hand to form a mudra and slapped it on Old Master Zhang's head, who was chasing after them!

With a bang, Old Master Zhang was directly blown to pieces!

Mingmei was so startled that she shuddered. Her pupils dilated, and she subconsciously felt that this action of Mu Chen's was not something a Boss in a game should have.

It was like… an ability he had on his own.

"Aren't you supposed to have your powers restricted?"

Mingmei was puzzled. The Zerg's mental clone, who had witnessed Mu Chen's actions in the depths of the cemetery, was also shocked!

Although it was a newbie game, the knowledge of some xuan family daoist arts from Old Blue Star had indeed attracted Zes's interest in this round. The knowledge absorbed under the premise of the game's rules had clearly had an effect on the restrictions set by the Boss in this round, so why had he suddenly become stronger now?

Before it could think, Mu Chen's gaze fell on the black qi that scattered in all directions when Old Master Zhang's body exploded. When he saw a part of it surging in the same direction, he didn't hesitate to withdraw the mudra in his hand.

Immediately after, Mu Chen turned his palm into a claw and grabbed fiercely in that direction. Mingmei followed the direction and saw several tombs explode from a distance, it was so cool!
