Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Those Who Don’t Negotiate with Liu Zheng All Meet a Bad End

"This is getting tricky."

All four furrowed their brows.

Even though none of them had used their full strength, the issue wasn’t how hard they hit but whether they could hit at all.

Although each of them still had a trick up their sleeve, it would be a waste to use their best moves just for a randomly refreshed elite monster.

After all, a possibly bigger battle was waiting for them later on.

"Why don’t you try talking to them?"

Nightingale suggested.

The Siren and Vampire Sister nodded in agreement.

"Come on, do you really think I’m a Succubus?"

Liu Zheng was speechless.

But since they mentioned it, he might as well give it a try.

"Gentlemen, uh, young fellas?"

He tentatively began.

The two Ghost Children with no whites in their eyes looked at him.

Huh, could there be a chance?

Encouraged by this, Liu Zheng continued.

"This is our first time at the cemetery, and we’re not familiar with the rules here. Whatever you guys need, just say it, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you."

The two Ghost Children looked at each other, then back at him, their expressions seemingly changing a bit.

"Two D-grade tomb sweeping packages for you two, as a way to make friends. How about it?"

Liu Zheng said.

The Ghost Children seemed to sneer.

"Then two C-grade ones."

He amended.

The Ghost Children continued to stamp the Blood Handprint.

"Then two B-grade ones."

Liu Zheng said through gritted teeth.

Vampire Sister gritted her teeth even harder.

The Ghost Children remained unmoved.

"Isn’t an A-grade package a bit too much? We do mean well, but you brothers can’t be opening your mouths that wide, can you?"

His voice cooled.

"We don’t want anything."

"We just want you guys dead."

"Hehehe!!!"

The two Ghost Children finally spoke, but their words were far from pleasing.

"So there’s no talking then?"

Liu Zheng said coldly.

"Hehehe!"

The Ghost Children let out a sharp and hoarse laughter that gave him a headache.

Seeing that the Blood Handprint had reached two-thirds of their back, Liu Zheng knew it was time for a decision.

"Who can take these two on?"

He asked.

"I have a move that’s sure to deal with them, but after using it, I’d be almost out of fighting capacity,"

The Siren said.

"I have a move that has a high chance of resolving them, and it won’t affect my fighting ability, but it’s sure to involve you guys. You should be fine, but Little Vampire is likely to get seriously hurt,"

Nightingale added.

"I won’t impair my fighting ability or cause accidental harm, but I need to take back the essence in your body,"

Vampire Sister said.

"All look so formidable normally, but can’t make themselves useful at a crucial moment,"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Hmph!"

The three women were unhappy with his attitude but couldn’t refute it.

Being mostly combat-type themselves, they weren’t really suited to battling something so tactic-based.

But, since it was tactic-based, there surely was a solution to it.

Liu Zheng observed the two Ghost Children closely, trying to find a clue to break the situation.

Soon, he made a discovery.

Though both Ghost Children had intact limbs, their heads were defective.

One had a dent on the right side of his head, and the other had a bump on the left.

"Could it be that they were conjoined twins?"

Liu Zheng speculated based on what he had seen in hospitals.

Having had a suspicion, he decided to test it.

"Vampire Sister, join their heads together."

He commanded.

"Why do you call me by such an ugly name?"

Vampire Sister wasn’t quite happy with her new name, but still obediently moved closer to Liu Zheng.

Seeing her approach, the faces of the two Ghost Children showed panic, and the speed of their Blood Handprint stamping increased.

"Seems like I guessed right."

Liu Zheng was pleased and also moved closer to Vampire Sister.

The two Ghost Children’s bodies twisted madly, but their heads appeared to be fixed by some force, helplessly watching as they were joined together.

The protruding left brain perfectly fit into the indented right brain.

The two Ghost Children let out a piercing scream, began melting from the head down, and eventually dissolved into nothingness.

The Blood Handprints on their backs also gradually disappeared.

"That’s what you get for not honoring a toast and drinking a forfeit."

Liu Zheng sneered.

The fact proved that those who didn’t negotiate properly with him met bad ends.

These eerie inhabitants just never learned their lesson.

"Impressive."

Nightingale gave him a thumbs up.

Given some time, she might have guessed the Ghost Children’s mechanism as well, but certainly not as quickly or decisively as Liu Zheng.

The Siren pretended not to care, but there was some admiration in her eyes.

As for Vampire Sister, she was all starry-eyed.

"Impressive nothing. I was just pushed into it,"

Liu Zheng was quite aware of his own limitations.

Bereft of the power to overpower them physically, he had to exploit these eerie residents’ mechanisms.

If fists could solve everything, who would bother to think?

"Let’s go."

He waved his hand, and the four continued forward.

Despite having nearly experienced a reduction in their numbers not too long ago, the emotions of the team members remained stable.

After all, out of the four, three were not human, and the remaining one had seen his share of battles.

It seemed the encounter with the Ghost Children had deterred other meddling tomb lords, as no more troublemakers appeared on their path afterward.

The Gold Coin Explosion Team smoothly reached their destination, tomb no. 18703.

Though called a tomb, it was actually a three-story mansion with a garden.

A black iron plate was welded onto the front door, serving both as a tombstone and a door plaque.

"Horror Duke’s Cozy Cottage."

Liu Zheng read the lower half of the content on the tombstone.

All three of them made strange expressions.

"Isn’t your Blood Father a Viscount?"

He asked.

"Bragging. Doesn’t matter; there’s no photo attached."

Vampire Sister shrugged her shoulders.

So, the truth is neither horrifying nor ducal, and definitely not cozy?

"How do we get in?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Just go straight in, there’s no anti-theft system. But be prepared, some of my blood relatives might be hiding inside the house."

Vampire Sister said.

The three nodded their heads, each preparing for combat.

Pushing open the front door and walking into the garden, Liu Zheng felt the temperature rise slightly, replaced by a strong stench of rotting blood.

"Old man keeps a lot of rotten blood worms underground. The drink tastes awful and is poisonous, but it’s good because they produce blood from eating dirt."

Vampire Sister explained.

"Is this also considered an inheritance?"

"Not really useful. Nowadays, although fresh blood is expensive, second-hand blood packs are still quite cheap. These critters are only kept by old-timers who can’t keep up with the times, and they don’t sell for much."

Vampire Sister shook her head.

"But how does it taste?"

Liu Zheng thought of the white spider.

If it tastes good, it might be worth gathering some to ask San Huamao to help make a meal for that socially anxious spider.

"Eating it?"

This question stumped Vampire Sister.

They all use the rotten blood worms for sucking out juice, and after sucking, they put them back. Who would eat them?

"If the juice tastes terrible, the meat probably isn’t good either,"

she hesitated and said.

"Why not try and find out? After everything is done, help me catch some to take with us."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay then."

Vampire Sister agreed, since catching rotten blood worms wasn’t difficult.

The Gold Coin Explosion Team continued forward, reaching the main gate.

Vampire Sister grabbed the doorknob and gestured to the others.

The three nodded, flashes of blades and fire seemed imminent.

"Three"

"Two"

"One!"

Vampire Sister pulled the door open and quickly stepped aside.

Nightingale was the first to attack, with countless bullets pouring out, obliterating everything in front of her.

However, there was no one behind the door anyway.

Her barrage of fire only succeeded in smashing a bunch of furniture.

"No worries, all fakes, not worth any money."

"That old geezer spent all his money on this graveyard plot, the rest is in the safe,"

Vampire Sister glanced around and said.

The three nodded and walked into the house.

The interior of the house displayed a typical Western aristocratic style. Although Vampire Sister said they were fakes, the porcelain, brass lamps, and suits of armor were still quite impressive looking.

"I have a question."

Liu Zheng said.

"What’s the question?"

"Your Blood Father lives here, so why was he caught by the hospital and used as a dialysis machine?"

he asked.

"Just showing off. He goes to the black market every week to top off his favorite courtesans’ lists. Guess he played too hard and got targeted by the hospital folks."

Vampire Sister shrugged.

"Well, that’s not too bad then."

Thinking about it, Niu Ma and the Old Vampire might know each other since it also frequents the black market brothels.

I could ask it when I get back.

"Let’s head this way."

Vampire Sister led them upstairs to the study.

"It’s here."

she said.

"Here? Where’s the safe?"

Liu Zheng looked around and didn’t see anything resembling a safe.

Could there be a secret door?

"This is the safe."

Vampire Sister stamped on the floor and then sliced her wrist with her fingernail.

Pale red blood dripped onto the floor and was immediately absorbed.

"Password!"

From where the blood fell, the floor bulged, forming a pained human face that cried out towards Vampire Sister.

"0720141592."

Vampire Sister said.

"Password correct!"

The face looked even more pained, its volume increased tenfold.

The sound waves turned into a fierce wind, messing up everything in the study, and blood even leaked from Liu Zheng’s ears.

"Fuck! Why didn’t you say the safe was so loud?"

he complained.

"I’ve never opened it before, how would I know?"

Vampire Sister seemed troubled as well.

The face glared resentfully at Vampire Sister, its mouth continuously opening wider until it was big enough for a person to jump into.

"Should I go down alone, or does someone want to come with me?"

Vampire Sister asked.

She meant for someone to witness, ensuring she didn’t hide anything.

"How can we trust outsiders?"

"Let’s go down together, dear sister."

Accompanying a sinister voice, five black bats abruptly flew out, transforming into human forms on the other side of the face.

Three men and two women, all dressed in suits and carrying briefcases.

The leading figure was tall and handsome, resembling an ancient Greek sculpture.

The other four were also strikingly attractive.

The only drawback was their deep, swollen black eye circles, as if they had never slept since birth.

"Did you just escape from some consuming hotspot?"

Liu Zheng blurted out.
