”As long as a descendant of the Tang Clan inherits the Tang Clan's bloodline, they must be able to eliminate evil and defend the Dao. They must also use the merits gained from killing evil and delay their lifespan. Otherwise, they will not live past 40 years of age.”

Speaking to this point, I finally heard the main point. Even though what Tang Rou said might not be true, it could still be considered an explanation.

Tang Rou's father had died young because she hadn't inherited his ancestors' tasks. In this business, Tang Rou didn't want to die early, so she could only focus on her ancestors' business.

I know you might not believe it, but that's the case. Regarding the contract, I apologize, if you are willing to cooperate with me, then we can continue. If not, then I won't force you.

A single word from the other party might be considered a friend, but in my ears, it sounded like a heavenly music to my ears.

It was as though I had never heard of these words. Since young, the only words I could hear would always be ridicule and abuse. It would forever be trash, ugly, and such.

”Let's get out of here first.” I turned away quickly, afraid that the other person would see my expression.

And this place really made me feel uncomfortable all over.

I rushed to the head of the stairs and saw the white skeleton in front of me. It was only then did I see that the skeleton was actually sitting cross-legged on a table. The bones on its body were connected together with some metal strings.

As for why I left my ancestors' skeletons in the basement, I didn't ask too much. However, when I got near the skeleton, I clearly heard the sounds of the bones making 'gege' sounds.

Why are you making a ruckus again?

It scared me so much that I quickly took a step back. I touched something soft on my back, along with Tang Rou's curses.

”What are you jumping around for? ”It hurts.”

”You, your ancestor just spoke …” As I backed away, I pointed to the pile of skeletons.

”Bullsh * t! My ancestors have been dead for hundreds of years. You can't joke about this.” Tang Rou clearly didn't believe him.

”I'm not lying to you, he just said …” ”Cluck, cluck …” I frantically tried to imitate her and felt Tang Rou kick me in the butt again.

”You don't have to be like that. There should be a wind blowing in from outside, right?”

Soon after, Tang Rou pushed me and told me to hurry up and leave.

I widened my eyes as I stared at the pile of bones. I practically pressed my body against the wall as I ran towards it. Without even turning my head around, I ran out of the basement using my hands and legs.

After returning to the living room, I gulped down a few more mouthfuls of drinks before calming my nerves. The skeleton and the images of the Taoists in the room kept on swirling in my mind, giving me a headache.

”It's already very late, let's stay here. Also, the place you're staying at …”

Tang Rou, perhaps because of my pride, didn't continue speaking.

”No, I'm not used to living in such a good place. With a live broadcast plan, you can just come find me.”

I turned and walked out.

”I'll send you off then …” Tang Rou hurried over, but I rejected her.
