ch 175 – The Experiment Was Successful; Wandered Into Thieves’ Den (8)
Moustache guy saw Cheng Xiao Xiao and his eyes widened. He asked, surprised, “Where did she come from?”
“Eh? What do you mean? Isn’t she from one of the rooms up front?” Bighead Chi was dumbfounded. He looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao strangely.
Moustache man shook his head and said, “No, we have seen all the girls in the rooms up front. On top of that, none of them come close to the quality of this one!”
“Then she…”
Moustache ignored Bighead Chi and squinted at Cheng Xiao Xiao and asked, “Hey brat, don’t tell your Master Water Ghoul that you came in here accidentally. This is not a place even a ghost would visit. So don’t even try to lie. Otherwise, bad things would happen to you!”
“Water Ghoul?” That’s his name? Cheng Xiao Xiao was a little bit surprised, but he did sort of looked the part. She looked straight at him and asked, “It doesn’t matter where I came from. More importantly, what is this place?”
“Oh, you don’t know?”
Looking at the fearless Cheng Xiao Xiao, Water Ghoul’s eyes rotated in their sockets, as though he was wondering whether she was messing around with him.
Bighead Chi looked at Cheng Xiao Xiao, a brief look of compassion flashed through his eyes and he said, “Well, little girl, since you are here already, you won’t be leaving. You will be staying here from now on, Water Ghoul, I will lock her up in one of the rooms.”
“Hang on, hang on…..”
Water Ghoul didn’t seem to want Cheng Xiao Xiao brought away right away. With a pervy smile on his dry face, he said, “Kekeke, this little girl looks so young and innocent. Let me take her to the grandmaster!”
“Well, that…” Bighead Chi paused for a second and said, “Isn’t grandmaster still resting right now? We can wait till he gets up before we take her to meet him!”
“Kekeke, Bighead Chi, don’t you know nothing? This is the best time to take her over….”
Water Ghoul circled Cheng Xiao Xiao once, straightened his back and said loudly, “Little brat, follow your master Water Ghoul. Don’t even think about running away, or else I will break your legs!”
“Sure! I am not going anywhere. I’ll go with you to meet the grandmaster!” nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao.
If she still didn’t haven’t figured out what kind of a place this was at this point, she’d truly be an idiot.
If it was someone else, they might not be able to figure it out from Water Ghoul’s words, but Cheng Xiao Xiao, who grew up in the 21st century, after the bombardment of all the cliché TV shows, how could she not know?
This was definitely thief’s den in disguise!
“You…” hearing that she was pro-active about going to meet the grandmaster, Bighead Chi’s eyes widened, as if to say: How could you be so silly!
Water Ghoul, on the other hand, waved and dismissed Bighead Chi, “Go, go, go, this doesn’t concern you. Go tell the kids to be more mindful and not cause any trouble; grandmaster hasn’t been in the best of mood lately!”
After that, he turned and smiled at Cheng Xiao Xiao, showing his mouthful of golden teeth, “Little brat, you come with me!”
“You lead the way!”
“Hehe, what an obedient little kid!” said Water Ghoul, happy with the response. He then turned and led the way.
Cheng Xiao Xiao followed him in small steps when little Yuteng’s voice rang in her ears, “Young mistress, they have four women locked up, all of them have been ill-treated and in fairly bad shape. Other than them, there were 30 or so many of various ages in the back rooms. They all look vicious and probably had killed quite a few people in their past.”
“What about that so-called grandmaster?”
“Grandmaster is the head monk, he is currently sleep with a woman in his bedroom, which is one of the rooms in the front!”
“Exactly what I thought!”
