Chapter 174 Come Be My Stepmother
In Wen Renyu's exclamation, Wen Rentan's body was instantly transparent, as if it would disappear at any moment.

Wen Renyu stepped forward to transfer his mana to him, but Wen Rentan refused.

"Just treat it as I owe you. I know you miss your mother and hate me, but I didn't expect you to hate me so much. "

"father……"

"Don't worry, I won't die." Seeing son Xiong's face full of guilt and self-blame, Wen Rentan's tone relaxed again, "I have to retreat for a while. Ye Chen, don't forget your promise."

"Hmph!" Eyeing him, Ye Chen hugged me and left.

He whistled, and soon his bones came to us.The two rode back, and I suddenly became afraid: "Wen Rentan is seriously injured, Wen Renyu won't hate me even more now, will he?"

"If he dares to come again, I will make him not even have to do ghosts!" Ye Chen was obviously still angry.

Hope this kid can figure it out.

After walking two steps, Ye Chen suddenly said again: "Sheng Sheng, let's not have children."

"what happened?"

"It's the same as a debt collector." He pouted.

I laughed, "Are you afraid that your son will be like Wen Renyu?"

"Will I be as useless as Wen Rentan?" Ye Chen asked me unconvinced, and tightened his embrace a little more, "I just suddenly discovered that if you have a child, there will be a kid who will come to snatch you from me. "

"That's our child. Are you jealous too?"

"As long as it is related to you, anyone will be jealous!" Ye Chen was childish like a child.

When the two of them returned to the land of Chang Xiao, Ye Chen's personal guard was already waiting at the door.Seeing us come back, he stepped forward to salute: "My lord, everything is done."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, signaling him to go down.

I was a little curious: "What did you ask him to do?"

"Throw Du Youwei to hell."

"Eh? Didn't Wen Rentan say to let her go?"

"Save her life, not keep her safe." Ye Chen corrected me, "My woman dares to touch? How could she let her go so easily!"

"What about Wen Renyu? You won't be holding back, will you?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows: "Don't you think it's the greatest punishment for him to guard Wen Ren Tan, whose cultivation level has been greatly promoted because of him?"

Makes sense!
After all, Wen Renyu is still a ghost who only cares about feelings. Seeing his father's appearance now, he must be so regretful that his intestines are green.

I went back and looked through the things my father left for me, and found a lot of spiritual fruits and elixir to replenish mana, and asked Li Xia to send them to Wen Rentan.

No matter what, he didn't help me a lot in the human world.

A few days later, I heard that Wen Renyu had resigned.

The ghost who came to assassinate us that night was not sent by Wen Renyu, he was just fishing in troubled waters.Yechen and I lived in Changxiao Mansion for two days, and decided to go back to Youcheng to go fishing and enforce the law.

One day when Yechen was away, Big Yu didn't wait, but Wen Renyu came again.

I immediately called the guards, and he looked at the long-screaming iron guards who surrounded me tightly, and made an ugly smile: "I didn't come to kill you."

"Same as last time to rob me?"

He shook his head: "I just have something to tell you."

"I don't think the two of us have anything to say... I'm really not a destroyer of your family's happiness..." Don't say I don't know anything in this life, even when I was Luyao in the last life, I didn't know anything about it !
"I know." Wen Renyu nodded slightly, with an expression that he didn't care about villains, "I just want to thank you for the elixir that you gave my father."

"I've received your thank you, you can leave, don't send it off!" I know I'm cowardly, but now I'm really afraid of seeing him alone.

Wen Renyu looked at my hopeless appearance and shook his head slightly: "As a thank you, I wanted to tell you something about the destruction of Lu's family. If that's the case, I'm leaving."

"Wait!" I subconsciously called out to him, "Do you know who the murderer is?"

Wen Renyu smiled: "My father and Ye Jun haven't been able to find out for so long. What do you think I can know as a casual cultivator?"

He must know something!
After struggling a bit, I said to the guards: "You step back."

"lady!"

"Stand back!" I insisted, "wait outside, I'll be fine." Even if there is real danger, I still want to know about Lu's family.

The guards couldn't resist me, so they could only accept orders and retreat.

When passing by Wen Renyu, every ghost looked at him with unusually sharp eyes.Presumably I was kidnapped by Wen Renyu last time, and Ye Chen scolded them a lot.

"It seems that after Lord Ye comes back, these guards will be punished again." Wen Renyu said with a smile.

I gave him a blank look: "Stop talking about right and wrong! I made them quit, and I will explain it to him when Ye Chen is there! Besides, our Ye Chen is not a ghost who doesn't know right and wrong!"

Wen Renyu chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm.He waited until all the guards had retreated far away, and drew a sound-proof barrier between me and him.

"How is your father?" I asked.

"Why do you still care about him?"

"It's also a friend, you should ask. It's just a friend, don't think about it anymore!" I emphasized.

Wen Renyu gave me a blank look, and regret flashed in his eyes: "After using the medicine you sent, the only remaining cultivation base has been stabilized. Now I am retreating, as long as I don't get attacked by surprise, I will be fine."

"Then why don't you guard him? What if he is attacked!" I remember that Wen Rentan had quite a few enemies.

"Isn't it just that there is no ghost watching me?" Wenren retorted duplicity.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you. Tell me the important point, who killed so many ghosts in my house!"

"Ni Gaoxuan." He spat out a familiar name.

"I know that. That's why he was wanted. Who are the other ghosts?"

"He is the organizer, and after he cast the spell, he was on the arrest warrant, and because of this, the Ni family was taken over by Master Mo Yuan." Wen Renyu changed the subject, "But their family was not the only one involved in this matter at that time."

"I know that too." According to the information Ye Chen found, the Han family and the Gong family were all involved, and even the Bu Rui family was also suspected.

"Then do you know there is still Ye Family?" Wen Renyu asked me quietly.

I was suffocated, and I subconsciously defended Ye Chen: "What nonsense are you talking about! If it's really related to the Ye family, why would Ye Chen bother to save me!"

The corner of Wen Renyu's mouth flickered mockingly: "You can also see what he got after saving you now? The whole Youcheng, and all the treasures of Lu's family back then. Even the black fox is waving at him."

"First, the Black Fox Ling hasn't been found yet, maybe someone hid it! Second, Ye Chen didn't take any of the things from Youcheng and Lu's family, they were all left to me!"

"But you belong to him." Wen Renyu emphasized.

I stared at him, saw the sarcasm on his face, and subconsciously asked: "You didn't come here specially to sow discord, did you?"

"Am I free? I still have to retreat for my father to protect the Dharma."

"Do you know? The last time your father came to me, he said the same thing as you, and he was also suspicious of the Ye family. No! Did you get the wrong script? Did you read your father's lines? You shouldn't be matching me and Ye Chen Is it? Then me and your father will be out of the game, and you will be happy!"

"Now I think it's good for you to be my stepmother." He was much older than me, but he didn't blush when he said these words.

"Look, you are more beautiful than that Du Youwei, and your net worth is even richer. The key is that your brain is not very bright, and you can follow someone wholeheartedly after just a few tricks."

"You're stupid!" I couldn't tell that he was deliberately hurting me.

"If you're not stupid, how can you still believe that the Ye family is innocent?"

"Then why do you believe that the Ye family is one of the participants?" I asked back, "There must be evidence for everything!"

"The attitude of the two Plutos is the evidence."

I was taken aback, Wen Renyu continued: "You should know better than anyone else the relationship between the two Plutos and Ye Jun. Ye Jun helped them clean up so many families back then, no one can resist this credit and friendship. And the Lu family has always adhered to the principle of being wise and safe, so tell me, which one is more important to Pluto, the Lu family or Ye Chen?"

Indeed, it is really strange that Mo Han and Mo Yuan insisted on not telling me who the murderer was.

Just as Wen Renyu said, let alone the friendship that the three of them grew up with back then, it is just a place of long screams, which is incomparable to Lu's family.

Lu's house collapsed, and Youcheng is still Youcheng.But the reason why the land of Chang Xiao is the land of Chang Xiao, and the reason why hell can be suppressed is because the name of Chang Xiao Mansion is Ye.

If I were Pluto, I would also choose to keep Yechen.

If you keep Yechen, you can keep the underworld from chaos.

but……

"What is the purpose of Yechen moving Lu's house?" I still don't believe it.

Wen Renyu looked at me with disgust in his eyes: "You don't know what is hidden in Youcheng? The monstrous wealth and the black fox spirit, which one is not a motive? What's more, I heard from my father that the land of Changxiao has long been I just want to annex Youcheng!"

"My father is only one of my daughters. Yechen and I have a long-standing marriage contract. As long as I marry him, these things will belong to him."

"Are you sure your father will give it to you?" Wen Renyu asked me with a smile, "Your father may give it to you, but he will never give it to Yechen. He will not allow Youcheng to lose its sovereignty and become Chang Xiao part of the land!"

This is...

no no no!Ye Chen would never do this!
I still don't want to believe it, but under the current stalemate situation, it is true that only Ye Chen is behind the scenes, and can explain everything.

Because it is him, Pluto will protect him.

Therefore, the case of Lu's family has not yet been officially overturned.It was also because of him that after discovering Ni Gaoxuan and other ghosts, he still didn't know anything about the real murderer.

I was a little irritable, Wen Renyu got up and said: "I'm done talking here, you can do it yourself. If you don't want Ye Chen, it would be nice for me to be your stepmother."

The child changed his sex for some reason, waved his hand at me, removed the barrier and left.

The chief guard came in and took a look at me, and when he saw that I was fine, he stepped back with confidence.

Ye Chen also came back after a while, apparently the guards were afraid that something might happen to me, so they went to inform him.

"He didn't hurt you?" He asked with concern as soon as he landed.

I put away my irritated thoughts and shook my head at him: "No. He just came to thank me for the medicine I gave Wen Rentan."

"He still has some conscience!" Ye Chen stepped forward and led me to sit down, and stuffed something into my hand.

It was a token with a majestic black fox engraved on it.I was immediately happy when I saw it: "Has the Black Fox Ling been made?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Well, I copied one based on the blueprint you drew. It can summon a few useless ghosts from hell, so it's no problem to bluff people."

"That's good! Send someone to sell this to Youcheng Auction House!"

This Black Fox Ling is of course a fake, but as long as this gets out, those ghosts who want to get something out of me won't have time to deal with me.

Moreover, none of them had ever seen the Black Fox Ling, which made things even easier!
"This thing is called a summoning order! Go find a ghost with a low cultivation base but you can trust, pretend that you need another thing urgently, and then auction this off!"

It is rumored that the Black Fox Order can summon the loyal Lu family army. There is a black fox on this thing, and it can also summon hell ghosts. Isn't it just like the legendary Black Fox Order!

Those old ghosts will definitely think that they have made a fortune!
I relish the thought of the chaos that will ensue at the auction.

"It's been arranged a long time ago, today I'll show you first. Tomorrow's auction, are you going?" Ye Chen asked.

I thought about it, and shook my head: "I'd better not go. If I went and didn't recognize this thing, a careful old ghost might be able to detect something wrong. It's better to let it make a thunderbolt! They were caught off guard!"

"Okay." Ye Chen fondled my head, "Do you really not know the whereabouts of Hei Huling?"

He asked suddenly, and my smile froze on my face.

I looked at him, and his eyes were filled with the expectation of knowing the answer: "Why, why do you ask this?"

"If you can remember, if we find that thing, we will send it to the Nether Palace, and it will give Mo Han a headache." He didn't notice the flash of wariness in my eyes.

I swallowed and asked, "Can I use it myself?"

Ye Chen sighed: "You have also seen the fate of Lu's family. You should know the reason for the crime of pregnant Bi."

"But it belongs to my father..." My father has worked so hard for most of his life for Lu's army, how can I just give away his hard work like that!
"Shengsheng, keeping that thing will only harm you."

"But it was left to me by my father... He was killed because of that thing... How can I give it away again?"

"Sheng Sheng..."

It's not that I'm selfish and greedy, it's that the Black Fox Ling has a different meaning to me.

"I don't care! The black fox is mine! Whether I can find it or not, it's all left to me by my father! No one will give it to you! You can't either!"

Ye Chen frowned.

What Wen Rentan and Wen Renyu said ran in my mind unstoppably, I didn't want to believe it at all, but seeing Ye Chen's determined expression, I felt extremely sad.

Seeing what he wanted to say, I pushed him away and shut myself back into the house.

"Shengsheng!" He chased to the door, wanted to come in, but held back.

Ye Chen knocked on the door: "Sheng Sheng, please open the door."

I ignored him, and leaned against the wooden door with my head covered, trying to throw out all the words that were running wildly in my mind.

It can't be Ye Chen's!
impossible!

I found that even though I didn't want to believe that Ye Chen would be behind the scenes, the words Wen Rentan and Wen Renyu said still sprouted in my heart disobediently.

And the words Ye Chen asked me to hand over the Black Fox Ling today undoubtedly watered down these suspicions.

After a while, Ye Chen who was standing at the door finally gave in: "Sheng Sheng, don't be angry. If you want it, we can keep it for ourselves and not give it to Mo Han."

"I keep it!" I emphasized.

He thought I was playing with a child's heart, so he agreed without thinking too much: "Okay, it's all Shengsheng's. When I find the Black Fox Ling, I'll let it be like your little golden pig, and let you see it every day."

It's almost there!
"Can you open the door? Shengsheng?" He coaxed me with a good temper.It was always like this when Qin Yechen was still in the past. Since he regained his identity as Lord Ye, his domineering character has dominated the majority.

Such a good temper can't help but remind me of the difficulties I experienced with him in the human world, and I am not so angry immediately, I got up and opened the door.

He was standing at the door, and as soon as the door opened he rushed in and hugged me into his arms.After hugging for a long time, he lightly scratched my nose: "Shengsheng, you are really getting more and more obsessed with money."

"Private property is sacred and inviolable! It belongs to me, and I can't make a penny cheaper for others!"

Ye Chen smiled, followed my words and said, "Okay! No one is cheap!"

Soon it was the next day's auction, and I didn't go.Ye Chen sent secret guards to investigate, and we waited for news at the City Lord's Mansion.

Youcheng is the economic capital of the underworld. Small auctions are held once a month, medium auctions are held every three months, and large auctions are held once a year.

Small auctions are usually played by the underworld monks themselves, while medium and large auctions will have outsider monks.

The quality of items at the auction is generally the bigger the auction, the better.But maybe a ghost with poor eyesight mistook the pearl for a fish's eye.If you're lucky, you can find good things at small auctions.

Therefore, some wealthy families will send ghosts to watch every auction, so as not to miss any good things.

Although today's auction is a medium-sized auction, with the eyeliner of those aristocratic families, I don't worry that the news won't get out.

While chatting with Ye Chen while playing chess and waiting for news, somehow Wen Renyu was mentioned.

"When Wen Renyu resigned, Mo Yuan was half angry." Ye Chen smiled gloatingly.

I don't understand: "Why?"

"The director of the Department of Reincarnation is in charge of the reincarnation of yin and yang, and is the top priority of the yin and yang worlds along with the division of justice. Although Wen Renyu has high mana and ability, his qualifications, connections, and background are not ideal. Those aristocratic children who competed with him at the same time."

"Did Mo Yuan become the department chief for Wen Rentan's sake?" I suddenly remembered what Wen Rentan said last time.

Ye Chen nodded: "There is a reason for Wen Rentan, but not all. Mo Han doesn't want the important affairs of the Yin and Yang worlds to be in the hands of the aristocratic family, so he prefers to use high-level casual cultivators with no background. Wen Renyu, It was Mo Yuan who fought against all opinions and promoted him at the time. But now he says he won’t do it, and all the work of the Reincarnation Division will fall back to Mo Yuan. Do you think he can’t be angry?”

I can already imagine how busy Mo Yuan is in the Department of Reincarnation right now.

Thinking of Mo Yuan's laziness, he probably has the heart to kill Wen Renyu right now.

The two of them, Ye Chen and Ye Chen, smiled unkindly, and Hua Kai, who was cooking tea at the side, suddenly called out: "Your Majesty, there are ghosts making trouble!"

We followed her gaze and saw thick smoke billowing in the distance, which is where the auction house is located.

"It's started." The corners of Ye Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he hugged me and looked there quietly.

A series of fireworks burst into the air with sharp noises, and exploded under the dark night, setting off fireworks of different colors.

This is the spies lurking in the auction from various families signaling for support.

Without us needing to say anything, the chief guard stepped up the guards at the City Lord's Mansion, and at the same time asked us worriedly: "Your Majesty, Madam, as soon as the signal pops up, families from all over the world flock to You City. I'm afraid You City is not safe. Why don't you two sirs?" Back to the Land of Long Howling?"

"It's boring if you don't go." I laughed from ear to ear, "The more ghosts come, the better! Don't even think about paying less for the entry fee to Youcheng!"

Last night, Ye Chen and I went to the secret room of the city lord's mansion to strengthen the protective formation of Youcheng. With him, apart from us and those in the Underworld Palace, no ghost could get from Youcheng without paying tolls. Break in from the tower.

Now, naturally, the more ghosts come, the better, and the more muddy this muddy water is, the better!

Seeing that many Yin spirits were fighting over there, I couldn't help muttering: "Why is there no signal from Ye Family yet?"

Before the words fell, an extremely sharp and long howling sound penetrated all the noise and exploded in my ears clearly.

The most dazzling green flash bomb exploded from the sky, and the majestic and magnificent Chang Xiao Mansion Palace appeared in the sky, immediately eclipsing all the signals of the aristocratic families.

"Madam, are you going to take a look?" Ye Chen asked me with raised eyebrows.

"Go! Of course! The play has to be a complete set!" I was gearing up, Ye Chen whistled, and his mount neighed in front of us.

He took me to sit on it, asked the chief guard to order a team of guards, and then led us to the auction.

Before I got close, I could feel the magic aftermath of the Yin spirits fighting each other.I have no sympathy for these ghosts.

The rule of the auction is that the highest bidder wins. After I asked a guard of the Ye family to pretend to be the fake black fox, I must bid it, no matter how much it is.

Of course, if there is a ghost behind who wants to snatch it, let him fight with the opponent twice, then pretend to be defeated and leave the fake black fox to escape.

The guards definitely didn't mess up their errands, but now these ghosts are still looting, it's all because of their greed!

Since you are greedy, you must be responsible for your own greed.

Ye Chen's mount is called Wu Zhui, which is no less than the Jiuyou Red Lotus Bone Horse.At this moment, Wu Zou stopped in the air with us on his back, and snorted disdainfully at the ghosts who were fighting not far away.

The surrounding ghosts sensed our strong aura, and subconsciously moved the battlefield away from us.

At this moment, greed is at work, and they don't care about presenting Ye Chen at all.

Instead, a guard jumped out from the crowd of ghosts below, and knelt down to Ye Chen out of nowhere: "Your Majesty, something has been taken away! It seems to be a black fox!"
