There was a knock on the door, Bai Gu and Huang Mao looked at each other.
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, other than that, Bai Gu’s Wool Gu was just released during the day, the most insufferable time has not arrived yet, it shouldn’t be Moon-face and the others.
“That’s not right.”
Bai Gu stopped Huang Mao, who was going to open the door, and frowned: “There is a triple automatic door outside the villa, the bell didn’t ring, and the automatic door didn’t open, how did people from outside get in?
This was the villa area which had the strongest security, and it was logical to say that no one could pass through it’s main gates.
Unless this was not a human being.
There was only one knock at the door, and then silence fell. They didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the bright lights in the living room dimmed, flickering unsteadily, and a slightly cold wind blew, as if… there was something dark and terrifying in the villa.
“Hey shit, where is this cold wind coming from? My meat skewers were all blown cold!”
This horror movie-like still scene, was broken by Huang Mao’s yelling, and then he slapped Su Xiaomi on the head: “Brat, whose beer are you stealing?!”
Compared to the ordinary him from the beginning, Huang Mao was more courageous, as he practiced his ghost skills, he ended up completely transformed. The weakest, Huang Mao, was not afraid, and everyone else in the living room were all villains. The Ghost Dog King didn’t even need to move his paws. The spirit dog, who was dognapped and huddled in the corner with melancholy, was full of energy, and rushed out of the door with a barking voice, and soon came back with a broken pigeon in its mouth.
A pigeon that could be picked up by a spirit dog was certainly not an ordinary pigeon. Wu Rong took a look at it and found that it was just glued with pigeon feathers, but inside it was a lacquer doll that looked like a curled up baby the size of a palm. The workmanship of the doll was very rough. The body was distorted and deformed, some limbs were glued together and there were no black pupils but only white eyes. It made them very uncomfortable after peeling off the sticky pigeon feathers.
“Jixing.”
Bai Gu looked around, gestured to Wu Rong and then took the doll, scratched its cheeks with his fingers, and sniffed lightly with his nose.
“There’s the ghostly smell of a graveyard.”
“But it is not like the Khuman Thong from the temple.”
“The types of Khuman Tong can be roughly divided into Imperial Matron Khuman Tong and Pleasing Praise Khuman Tong. If divided by the producers, there are classified as shaman-made and temple-made.”
While explaining, Bai Gu asked Huang Mao to help him get his backpack. In addition to the great shaman staff, Bai Gu also had a pair of gloves as thin as cicada’s wings in his backpack.
“Shamans often use children’s bones to make Khuman Tong, and grave soil is the material commonly used in temples to make Khuman Tong. They believe that cemetery soil has special energy, and choosing soil from seven cemetery’s can make the statues better withstand babies. But the temple made the Khuman Tong because it wanted the unformed baby spirits to receive human offerings, to condense into a complete body, and finally to be included in reincarnation.”
Unformed baby spirits were physically incomplete, and most of the Khuman Tong shells were complete images of children, which could be regarded as a beautiful image, so baby spirits liked to live in this kind of “quality house”. But the one who knocked on the door was a deformed doll, with pigeon feathers glued on its body, it looked eerie and creepy, and it was an evil thing at first sight.
Bai Gu put on his gloves, held the head and feet of the deformed lacquer doll, and broke it off forcefully. The doll, which seemed very hard, broke as soon as it was forced. When it broke, everyone in the living room heard a faint cry of resentment, and then what flowed out from the fracture was a blood-like red liquid!
“Ka Ka Ka!”
The black rock tarantula, which had been inactive since leaving Beacon Hill, hopped onto Wu Rong’s shoulder twice, spread its forelimbs like hunting, and was eager to lunge at Bai Gu, extremely excited. At the same time, rustling and restless sounds could be heard from all over Bai Gu’s body.

“Ktf yibbv bo j gfrfcaoei lcojca lr bcf bo atf ojnbglaf obbvr bo Xe lcrfmar.”
Bai Gu had been prepared for a long time, the blood from the mud baby reached his gloves like coral red beads that could not condense, and he had accumulated a handful of blood beads in a short while. As the blood flowed out, the shell of the clay baby gradually cracked, and finally turned into scattered sand. A copper object the size of a fingernail fell out.
This is a copper lotus.

“Lotus, lotus, surely it wouldn’t be something related to the Lotus Congregation?”
Huang Mao could also control Gu, and was very interested in the Resentful Infant’s blood, so he went to Bai Gu’s side: “Cousin, can this blood make my mosquitoes stronger?”
“The blood of the resentful infant is highly poisonous.”
Bai Gu shook his head and explained: “You can see that I can handle it easily because of these gloves woven from the silk of the Golden Silkworm Gu.”
The Resentful Infant’s blood contained a strong resentful Ghost Qi, if it was not dealt with in time, it would seep out from the clay gold doll by itself, silently attach to everyone in the living room, and penetrate into their bodies. At first, there would be loss of appetite and sleepiness, and later, blood sores would develop in the body, each sore would fester and pus, and the pain would be unbearable.
“Cousin, this is a test.”
Bai Gu said sternly, it was a test and a deterrent. If the people in the villa were unable to resolve the resentful baby, the people in the whole villa would die. While those who had the ability to solve it would get this copper lotus.
“Invitation to the Lotus Appreciation Conference.”
Su Xiaomi took the copper lotus from Wu Rong’s hand, looked at it over and over, and his expression changed slightly. He hesitated to speak.
Wu Rong asked indifferently, “What?”
“Boss Rong, here, if the Secret Lotus Congregation really invited you, they shouldn’t have given you a copper lotus.”
Su Xiaomi couldn’t figure it out: “I’ve also heard that there are three levels of invitations to the Lotus Appreciation Conference, golden lotus, silver lotus and bronze lotus. The only one in Jieyang who can be invited to participate in the lotus appreciation conference is Dharma King, Dharma protector, and envoy, which are the three levels, if I wanted to invite you, it should’ve be a silver lotus.”
Bai Gu and the Ghost Dog King signed a blood contract with Wu Rong, and they were in the brutal system. They were all Wu Rong’s blood slaves, and the meritorious deeds of those who they kill would be credited to Wu Rong. So it could be said that Wu Rong defeated Old Man Yan and Guardian Deng’s lineage. According to the rules of Secret Lotus Congregation, Wu Rong should at least be treated as a guardian.
Is this another slap in the face, or…
“There may be people from a higher level participating in this Lotus Appreciation Conference.”
A person that was higher than a Great Dharma King, their strength had definitely reached a terrifying level, even guessing that they were high-level political figures of the alliance would not be an overstatment.
“I’m not planning to go.”
Wu Rong casually took back the copper lotus and threw it out. The Ghost Dog King swallowed it in one gulp, and wagged his tail meekly at Wu Rong.
“I came to Jieyang to gamble on stones, and I’ll go back when I’m done.”
Stone gambling.
Huang Mao and Su Xiaomi showed a dazed expression, and even Bai Gu didn’t react for a while.
Yes, yes, Wu Rong was here to gamble on Jade Beetles.
But what happened from Chaozhou till this moment was too intense. Everyone’s thoughts were fighting for supremacy, fighting with people, fighting with ghosts, and fighting against the Heavens. It was unexpected that Wu Rong even remembered the plain goal of gambling on stones.
Bai Gu didn’t recall it until now.
That’s right, Wu Rong was here to simply gamble on jade.
“Huh? Aren’t we on our way to defeat the Secret Lotus Congregation?”
Only Su Xiaomi, who was rescued halfway, was puzzled and asked Huang Mao in a low voice in disbelief: “Then why did you kill all the way here? I thought…”
I also thought so.
Bai Gu said silently in his heart.
When Wu Rong blocked people’s way to rescue Su Xiaomi, Bai Gu understood that they were just ordinary tourists who entered Jieyang like this. If they wanted to quickly establish enough reputation and get the most benefits in the next stone betting conference, they had to find a way to make a big splash.
What could be more suitable for establishing power than the gorgeous ghost’s old man who appeared in front of them?
Killing Old Man Yan, killing the pursuers from the Secret Lotus Congregation, making friends with the Zhou family, fighting each other, Wu Rong did it all in just one day! How much calculation was needed to establish a great power in one day and be welcomed into Jieyang by Zhou Jin in person?!
Bai Gu already thought that Jieyang would become the starting point for Wu Rong to fight for world hegemony!
Then Wu Rong said that he would go back to his hometown after gambling??
There must be something I didn’t think of.
Bai Gu quickly adjusted his mentality, digging out the deeper meaning of Wu Rong’s words, and suddenly, his expression turned serious.
The higher level of Secret Lotus Congregation may come to Jieyang, Zhou Xinhong spared no expense to invite heroes from all alliances, the stone betting conference, the Jade Beetles…
Bai Gu suddenly realized!
In the turbulent Jieyang City, people from all walks of life and various forces gathered for the Stone Gambling Conference, and the turbulent undercurrent unfolded around Jade Beetles and stone gambling. This is an invisible power struggle! Gambling on stones was not just gambling on stones, it had been endowed with a deeper meaning, and the stones with Jade Beetles would become the core of all battles!
Got it, Bai Gu finally understood, what the invitation from Secret Lotus Congregation was, and what the friendship with the Zhou family was, Wu Rong actually wanted to point to the core interspersed in this turbulent situation, and completely make a name for himself! There was also the sudden appearance of the mysterious person, which was the foreshadowing that Wu Rong had planted long ago! With Fu Qing, the blood-clothed ghost and the mysterious man around, how could Wu Rong just come here to gamble on stones?!
Amazing.
Once again, Bai Gu was convinced by Wu Rong’s ambition. Waiting for this fish and dragon's mixed chaos to win Jade Beetles, Wu Rong’s return to Yangjiaping was a one step back, two steps forward chess move! It would not cause too much vigilance from many forces. It’s loud name would attract more people to pay attention to and go to Wu Rong, and Wu Rong could respond to all changes by keeping unchanged.
Terrific!
Seeing Huang Mao and Su Xiaomi, who hadn’t responded, Bai Gu sighed in his heart, and felt sorry for Wu Rong. There were only a few people who can understand Wu Rong’s lofty ambitions in the world. In this living room, there was only Bai Gu. At this moment, Bai Gu was a level higher. He was no longer afraid of the newcomers who appeared next to Wu Rong. He regarded them as hidden enemies to seize the position, but now hoped that more talents could join Wu Rong’s camp and drive this chariot steadily.
This was definitely worth it.
“Brother Rong, where are you going in the evening?”
Huang Mao asked in doubt, and Bai Gu found that Wu Rong was about to go to the door.
“I’ll see Fu Qing.”
Seeing that Huang Mao was going to follow, Wu Rong emphasized: “Just by myself.”
Regarding the incident of concealing the big ghost from Fu Qing, Wu Rong still had a little care. Including the mysterious person who he did not know any details about, it was too reckless to stop Fu Qing with him. Wu Rong was worried that Fu Qing would be injured.
He also didn’t say a word to him on the way back on the bus. Maybe it was because of an internal injury.
Thinking of this, Wu Rong’s heart was more worried and he left the villa quickly. The door was closed, and the people in the living room looked at each other.
“Brother Rong and Fu-daozhang’s relationship is so good.”
In silence, Huang Mao spoke.
“So good.”
Bai Gu repeated meaningfully. Seeing Wu Rong’s distant back through the window, he sighed:
“Men, all are the same.”

Way to over think Bai Gu.
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Some people think too much. Thank you
I think the only being in Rong Gang whose understanding of the current situation mostly lines up with reality is the dog. Everyone else either doesn’t remember the other timeline and thus has no clue what’s going on or they remember the timeline but have overthought the situation to the point of making up their own narrative.
Thank you for the update.
Thanks for the chapter
Bai Gu, I really can’t stand people like him who make things 1000 times more complicated than they really are.
Thanks for the chapters!!
Am I the only one that thinks Bai Gu is hilarious? His mind is like a rollar coaster, one minute he thinks he’s the superior subordinate and the next he’s super concerned about his position and then he’s back to feeling superior again.
sasuga ainz-sama…. suddenly missing overlord but i do love me a complete misunderstanding evil subordinate
Lmao the way Bai Gu connects non-existent dots is just- 😂🤣😂
I’m always fvcking laughing when the mc just wants to live a casual life and take care of his own household but powerhouses are being pulled over to him and won’t let him rest, and then they end up overthinking. xD
