Chapter 202: Don't Argue with the Dead_1
The Luos were beside themselves with anger, especially Luo Yun and her mother.
Luo Yan and Fang Linxuan, this mother-daughter pair, also had their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Wasn't that just too pretentious?
Old Master Luo turned around, his lips involuntarily twitching a few times. He had lived for so long and simply couldn't believe that such people existed.
Gao Yuzhen was also dumbfounded. Do you really have to be that awesome, man? This is the Luo Family, for crying out loud!
Chu Hao swept his gaze over everyone and said indifferently, "This Taoist Master won't take your lives because... your time isn't much longer anyway."
Luo Yun's mother was infuriated and roared, "You little bastard, what did you say?"
"He actually dared to say it."
"He's cursing us to die."
A few of the Luo family's youths, looking like arrogant rich second-generations, said angrily, "This kid is dead meat, definitely dead. Even if the Old Master pleads for him, I'll make sure he dies."
Chu Hao stared at Luo Shuai's mother and said, "Old woman, watch your mouth. Be grateful your useless son isn't dead."
"You!!" Luo Shuai's mother was furious, her expression almost distorted.
Old woman... He actually called her an old woman.
Luo Shuai's father's face grew dark, incensed that someone would speak to his wife in such a manner in his presence.
Old Master Luo interrupted everyone and said coldly, "Young man, what do you mean by that?"
Chu Hao replied blandly, "Old man, that thing you've placed in the swimming pool has been there for many years, hasn't it? I'm not afraid to tell you, it's about to come out, and I've specially calculated a fortune for you. Tomorrow, the things you've done will all be repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold."
"So, will I not lay a hand on you? Because... there's no need. What's the point of arguing with a bunch of dead people? Where would this Taoist Master put his face?"
Old Master Luo was alarmed, a sense of unease settling in his heart.
Master Kong hurriedly said, "Old Master Luo, with me here, nothing will happen. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Chu Hao burst into such laughter that tears streamed down his face, leaving Master Kong outraged.
"No offense, but do you think you can handle it? You might be fine dealing with evil ghosts, but what about fiendish ghosts? Tsk, tsk... But what's inside is not as simple as a fiendish ghost. I won't be leaving today. I'll be here to watch the show tomorrow."
After Chu Hao finished speaking, he turned and left, the figure of his back exuding carefreeness.
Master Kong immediately started sweating coldly. Something more formidable than a fiendish ghost?
DING... Host turns around with a carefree poise, earning 200 Pretentiousness Points.
Everyone looked baffled, and many didn't understand what he was talking about.
Old Master Luo's face was exceedingly grim as he stared at Master Kong and asked, "Master, how confident are you in suppressing that thing?"
"Sixty... no, eighty percent confident," Master Kong replied.
"That kid is very arrogant. I want to see what he's going to do tomorrow," Old Master Luo huffed and turned to leave.
The Luos looked at each other in disbelief. Did they really have to wait until tomorrow?
Luo Shuai's father said coldly, "Since the Old Master said we're waiting for tomorrow, then we'll discuss this tomorrow. Everyone, disperse."
Although the Luos were reluctant, there was nothing they could do but comply for now.
Chu Hao didn't care what the Luos thought; he had already figured out that they were about to face a major disaster.
Moreover... this bloody calamity isn't a joke. If I haven't guessed wrong, whatever is down there is extremely terrifying.
But the outcome would be clear by tomorrow, so there's no need to hurry.
Luo Yan came over. She didn't look good and blamed herself, "Ah-Hao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you come to the Luo Family's home."
Chu Hao smiled and said, "What are you talking about? It's not your fault. I just didn't expect, Sister Luo Yan, that you lived in such a family."
Luo Yan lowered her head. Since her father's death, she had become very strong, and nothing could make her cry.
"I'm sorry," Luo Yan said, clenching her fists tightly as tears welled up in her eyes.
Chu Hao patted her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay now."
Luo Yan let out a giggle and said, "Look at you, comforting me. I feel a bit bad, but I'll get over it soon. You go rest first; I have things to take care of."
"Okay."
As Luo Yan reached the doorway, she suddenly turned back and smiled enchantingly. "Sister will come to find you tonight, okay?"
Chu Hao blushed with embarrassment and was about to say he could when Luo Yan snickered and said, "In your dreams."
Damn it!!
She's teasing me again.
After Luo Yan left, Chu Hao opened up the System interface.

At night, someone knocked on the door. Thinking it was Luo Yan bringing dinner, he went to open it.
As it turned out, it wasn't Luo Yun at the door, but Luo Yan's mother, Fang Linxuan.
I have to say, even closing in on fifty, Fang Linxuan had taken such good care of herself—not a wrinkle by her eyes, her skin smooth.
It made one marvel at how she maintained her appearance. If pictures of her were posted online, a woman like that would surely be called an 'old goblin'!
Fang Linxuan smiled and said, "Master Chu, I've brought you dinner."
Chu Hao hurriedly responded, "Thank you, Auntie Fang."
"May I come in?"
"Of course, this is your home."
Chu Hao ate his meal. The more he ate, the more delicious it tasted. Fang Linxuan sat by, watching him with a smile.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable being watched, Chu Hao asked, "Auntie Fang, is there something on my face?"
Fang Linxuan shook her head and said, "How long has it been since I've seen such a handsome young man? I just want to look a little longer."
Old Tie, no problem. King Chubi is just that handsome.
Fang Linxuan smiled gently, her smile very similar to Luo Yan's, and asked, "Master Chu, was everything you said today true?"
So that's why she came. Chu Hao took a sip of the soup and nodded. "Auntie Fang, I wasn't joking with you. The thing in the swimming pool is indeed terrifying. You will all find out tomorrow."
Fang Linxuan was lost in thought, her mind in turmoil.
"If possible, I... I hope you can protect Luo Yan."
Chu Hao said, "I can't guarantee others, but Luo Yan and you will definitely be safe."
Fang Linxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved. Take your time eating; I'll head out first."
"Oh."
Watching Fang Linxuan leave... she's so elegant and beautiful. Yet, for a woman like her to have lost her husband so early, living in such a wealthy family... she must be terribly bored and lonely, right?
If it were me, I certainly would be.
"Pah! What kind of nonsense am I thinking?"
Given how handsome I am, how beautiful must my own mother be?
After being self-absorbed for a while, Chu Hao continued eating.
