"This is really quite lively!"

Looking at the many masked ghost guards, Lin Caisang crossed her arms and smiled at them.

She truly didn’t understand what was going on in the Ghost Emperor’s mind. Did he really think the people of Wuzhu Teahouse were that easy to deal with?

Well, perhaps she and Zimo were easy to deal with. After all, even with cheat codes in hand, they were still mere mortals, right?

But they do have hacks.

"Hongjin, Red Silver, I’ll leave them to you."

Sure enough, she didn’t need to say anything, just listened as her husband gave a command to the courtyard.

In the next moment, the masked ghost guards saw two figures appear in front of them, followed by a bewildering scene. Before they could react, their faces and bodies were covered in wounds.

A group of people lay on the ground, wailing incessantly, without any of their previous vigor.

Minister: "..."

He finally realized that earlier, when Hongjin dealt with the Underworld Lord and his ghost guards, he really hadn’t exerted any effort.

Otherwise, judging by the current situation, watching those masked ghost guards being crushed into the ground, the Underworld Lord and his people would have died several times already, right?

He couldn’t help but silently swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Two lords, how should we handle them?" Looking at those people, he asked Lin Caisang.

"How else could we dispose of them?"

Lin Caisang chuckled, naturally it was impossible to let them return.

They were about to kill them, and if they left them alive, wouldn’t that seem too... saintly?

"Poison them first, then let the Underworld Lord deal with them," Sui Zimo said.

During virtual missions, it’s best to kill fewer people to avoid point deductions.

It took great effort to accompany his wife on a quest, and not a single point should be missed, otherwise, it would be exhausting for his wife.

"Right."

Lin Caisang unconditionally supported her husband.

"Let’s poison them to unconsciousness first."

She directly took out a bottle of poison, and Hongjin came over, took the bottle, and made each masked ghost guard swallow a pill.

"Um... not sending them back?"

The minister watched their actions, his mouth twitching involuntarily.

Is this really okay? Those were people sent by the Ghost Emperor, and if they don’t return to report, who knows what hideous things the Ghost Emperor might do out of madness?

"Send them back?"

Lin Caisang turned to look at the minister.

"Are you sure?"

"No, not sure."

The minister hurriedly shook his head, not because he feared the two in front of him, but because he feared the Ghost Emperor. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

If these people were sent back, perhaps the next step would be the Ghost Emperor coming personally. When the Ghost Emperor wanted someone’s life, there was no one he couldn’t get. He would take every measure to claim their lives.

"Then..."

This truly felt like being caught between a rock and a hard place, not knowing what choice to make.

"Still ’then’ what? Go straight into the palace tomorrow, find the babies, and it will be fine. There’s no way the Ghost Emperor could dispatch an army here, right?"

Lin Caisang looked at the minister with slight irritation and said.

Minister: "..."

Can he say that this is really something the Ghost Emperor might do?

It’s not like he hasn’t done it before, really dispatching an army just to obliterate a clan that displeased him.

"Lord, how about we leave for a while?" Seven came over and softly suggested.
