242: You will suffer the consequences if you do evil! Forced buying and selling?

Chen Ming's body suddenly trembled, feeling only a chill.

Soon, his attention was drawn to the brute he had just kicked away, "Kid, since you don't want that embroidered ball, why are you fighting me for it?"

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to steal it from you, I just felt you were too dangerous and subconsciously counterattacked," Chen Ming explained.

He lifted his toe, nudged the embroidered ball up, tossed it gently, and then kicked it away again.

The embroidered ball hit the brute directly in the chest.

It's worth mentioning that although it was as light as a feather, it forced the brute's tall body to slide back three or four meters.

The brute gripped the embroidered ball tightly with both hands, pushing hard, using all his might to finally dissipate the force.

'What terrifying strength! Is this kid really human?'

Chen Ming and the humans the brute had in mind, who were no different from pigs and dogs, were completely two extremes.

However, the brute was still very grateful that Chen Ming had yielded the embroidered ball to him.

This immense fortune, in his opinion, whether it was snatched or given by others, didn't matter. What mattered was that it was in his hands.

"I have snatched the embroidered ball. According to the agreement, can I directly marry Wei Miss?" the brute asked loudly, holding up the embroidered ball in his hand.

For a time, it attracted countless resentful gazes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"My Miss has temporarily decided to add a rule. If you want to marry into the Wei Mansion, you must first defeat that guy to prove your strength," the Old Man replied.

He and Bride Ghost both predicted that the brute was definitely no match for Chen Ming, which is why they deliberately said that.

"Okay! No problem! Excuse me!" The brute perfectly demonstrated what being single-minded meant. He reached behind his waist, gripped the handles, and pulled out two gleaming broadswords.

"You and I will compete fairly, no need to hold back," the brute said, raising the broadsword in his hand and pointing it directly at Chen Ming.

"..." Chen Ming was speechless, "Fair competition? I wasn't trying to compete with you. If you want to marry her, just go ahead and marry her. I'm not interested."

"Are you looking down on me?!" Seeing that Chen Ming was unwilling to accept his challenge, the brute thought he wasn't taking him seriously. His anger overshadowed his previous gratitude for Chen Ming giving him the embroidered ball.

When Chen Ming handed over the embroidered ball, the brute's thought was simple: Chen Ming felt he couldn't beat him.

Or, once they fought, it would definitely be a situation where both sides suffered losses, and he didn't want others to take advantage, which is why he yielded.

This was equivalent to indirectly affirming and acknowledging his strength.

In reality, just like last time and this time, without exception, Chen Ming was simply bothered by the hassle.

It wasn't about looking up to or looking down on the brute.

"Kill!" The brute held the broadswords in both hands, roared, and charged towards Chen Ming.

Chen Ming was truly helpless. Since this guy didn't know when to quit while he was ahead.

Chen Ming didn't mind teaching him the cruel side of life!

Seeing the broadsword coming down from overhead, stirring up fierce winds and waves, slashing down towards him.

Chen Ming raised his arm and calmly flicked his fingertips.

Bang! Boom!

An even more powerful torrent blew, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

They all raised their arms to shield their eyes, and their steps couldn't help but slide sideways.

But the Old Man and Bride Ghost, who were in a higher position, saw it very clearly: with just the power of moving his finger, Chen Ming instantly annihilated the brute.

Both the man and the broadswords ceased to exist.

The Old Man's hands rested on the railing, his fingers gripping tightly, his fingernails even piercing into the wood. Wood chips drifted away with the gentle breeze that swept up.

He was very puzzled, "How can he, a human, possess such strong power?"

Bride Ghost didn't care about any of this and laughed heartily, "Excellent, only such a strong person is worthy of being my husband!"

"I want this person! Today I will consummate the marriage with him!"

"..." Lowering his arms, that damned cold sensation once again quickly spread from his spine to his neck.

It was an indescribable sense of eeriness.

He unconsciously looked up and, in the instant his gaze met the pair of ghastly pale eyes beneath the red veil, Chen Ming immediately withdrew his gaze.

"Qianqian, I'm sorry."

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Yin Qianqian looked bewildered, not understanding why Master was apologizing to her out of the blue.

"Master is too serious," Yin Qianqian said, kneeling on Qin Hongyue's shoulder and bowing.

"No, not too serious. I shouldn't have compared that guy to you. That's an insult to you," Chen Ming shook his head.

Aside from the pair of eyes shrouded in white mist, the burn scars covering her entire face also made it impossible for Chen Ming to feel even a shred of sexual interest.

Putting aside strength, purely based on appearance, Bride Ghost didn't even have the qualifications to carry Yin Qianqian's shoes.

If Chen Ming was forced to choose a female ghost to marry, he would definitely choose Yin Qianqian without hesitation. At least she was pleasing to the eye.

Dwelling on the strength difference was meaningless. Anyway, Chen Ming and the Undead Army were, unilaterally, far ahead and invincible!

"Join my Wei Family, and I can guarantee you a life of wealth and prosperity, never having to worry about food and clothing," Bride Ghost promised.

"It looks like Wei Miss is determined to marry him?"

"Envious! So envious!"

"What's there to be envious of? If you had his strength, Wei Miss might consider taking you as a minor husband."

"Having strength alone isn't enough. His face, you and I can't compare."

"Who doesn't like beautiful, wonderful things? I deeply understand."

...

The ghosts whispered among themselves, stirring up round after round of heated discussion.

At this moment, Chen Ming undoubtedly became the person they most wanted to possess and become in their hearts.

No joke, there were really ghosts and monsters who wanted to possess his body and replace him! To reach the peak of ghost life from then on!

"Not interested, find someone else," Chen Ming turned and left, waving his hand, showing no reluctance whatsoever.

"Originally, I didn't want to resort to violence. Since you insist on refusing a toast and drinking a forfeit, you, go and tie him up for me. Today, even if this Miss has to force herself on him, I will consummate this marriage!"

"..." A wave of bitterness surged in Chen Ming's heart, 'How can this be forced buying and selling?'

He felt the other party wasn't Bride Ghost, but a lustful ghost instead.

Words like 'forcing herself on him' were actually said.

Although the Old Man felt deeply embarrassed, it was Miss's command, and he dared not disobey.

He leaped and landed in front of Chen Ming and Qin Hongyue.

Red light flickered in his eyes, and a mass of eerie mist rose behind him!

From that mass of eerie mist, a giant black python emerged. Its head resembled a dragon's but had no horns.

Its teeth were arranged densely like steel needles. If bitten by this, it was unimaginable how agonizing it would be.

Long strands of whiskers hung down, showing the years it had experienced.

The giant python coiled behind the Old Man, like a dragon, lowering its snake head.

A pair of reddish snake eyes stared fixedly at Chen Ming, as if issuing a silent threat and warning!

"Young Master, it is your honor that my Miss favors you. Honestly give up resisting and come with me," the Old Man said righteously.

'Honor?'

Chen Ming truly couldn't imagine where his honor lay.
