Zhong Kui's sister got married to a friend from his hometown named Du Ping.

Du Ping was a philanthropic person and grew up with Zhong Kui's brother and sister. The three of them had a deep relationship. Even Zhong Kui's travel expenses to Beijing to take the exam were funded by Du Ping.

After Zhong Kui was dismissed from the first prize by the emperor because of his ugly appearance, he hit a pillar in anger and died. Du Ping, who went to Beijing with him to take the exam, took his body back to his hometown and buried it with a grand ceremony.

After that, Du Ping continued to take good care of his sister. As time went by, he and Zhong Xiaomei had a mutual affection for each other.

After Zhong Kui became the ghost king, in order to repay Du Ping's kindness during his lifetime, he decided to lead the ghost king himself back home on New Year's Eve and marry his sister to Du Ping.

Since the underworld cannot live in the underworld, Zhong Kui placed his sister in an inn in the Yin and Yang Realm. When the auspicious day came, he would pick up his sister and send her to get married.

And the inn he arranged was the one where Zhang Xiu and the others came to. This was why the proprietress had the confidence to add Zhang Xiu and two of them to the procession of sending off the bride.

After all, it was Zhong Kui's sister's happy day, and it was unlikely that Zhong Kui would care about such a trivial matter.

However, it was a pity that one of the two people she wanted to kill happened to have the daughter of Zhong Kui's enemy!

Although Zhong Kui was upright, it was true that he had a bad temper, otherwise he would not have committed the crime of being killed in court.

The landlady was afraid that Zhong Kui would lose his mind in a rage and she would be implicated, so she did not dare to let Zhang Xiu and Zhang Xiu stay.

Fortunately, Zhong Xiaomei was kind-hearted. When she heard Zhang Xiu shouting outside the door, she called the landlady to inquire about it and decided to take them back to the earthly world.

After the landlady explained the cause and effect, the two returned to the inn.

Zhang Xiu saw Miss Zhong with a smile on her face. After saluting, her face became solemn and she solemnly promised: "Miss Zhong, there is no way to repay the kindness of saving my life. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to me... come..." Looking for the eldest princess!

If she ignores you, I'll rip off her head and use it as a chamber pot for you! "

Miss Zhong: "!!!"

It sounds very scary!

In the frightened expression of Zhong Xiaomei, the eldest princess glared at Zhang Xiu fiercely, and said to Zhong Xiaomei: "Miss Zhong, when I return to the world, I will immediately have someone build a temple for your brother, so that he can have endless incense as a reward for you. Today’s favor!”

Seeing that the eldest princess was so serious, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After thinking for a moment, he said with an embarrassed look: "It's a pity that I promised my teacher not to rebel. Otherwise, I could arrest the Hunjun family and parade them through the streets and show them to your brother." The last breath of bad breath..."

The eldest princess: "@#¥%¥#@......"

Believe it or not, I’m going to fight you!

Looking at the expressions of the two people in front of her, Miss Zhong was so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed, and said with a smile: "It's not worth mentioning, so you two can stay here to rest for two days, and then come with me back to the earth for a glass of wedding wine."

Zhang Xiu looked at the considerate little sister Zhong and sighed with regret: "What a good girl. If she is released, at least..."

Before he finished speaking, the eldest princess covered his mouth with a look of fear on her face and dragged him out the door, saying at the same time: "My friend drank too much Yinfeng and got a little... a little high! Miss Zhong, please be good Rest and don’t listen to his nonsense!”

After walking out and closing the door, the eldest princess wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with lingering fear, pouted, and stared at Zhang Xiu with a complicated expression.

What a wonderful person, with unparalleled talents, countless living people, and good looks, but why does he have a mouth!

Zhang Xiu was forcefully pulled out of the door by her, and she threw away her hand with some dissatisfaction. Then she suddenly thought of something. She took a breath and said, "Wait, I suddenly remembered that the imperial examination will be held in three days." Well, can I still catch up?!"

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "It seems to be true. I don't know where Zhong Kui lives. If he lives far away, you might not be able to catch up."

"Because that vixen's birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This year, on a whim, my father set the imperial examination on the first day of the Lunar New Year to please her. It's really stupid..."

Zhang Xiu heard this and said in a daze: "The vixen you are talking about is the imperial concubine?"

The eldest princess rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiu depressedly: "Who else can I have besides your good sister?"

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "It's still unclear whether she is my sister or not. After all, I don't have any vixen relatives in my family."

The eldest princess smiled sweetly and said jokingly: "You can see that the vixen is not as good-looking as you, the most beautiful man in the world!"

Seeing the golden cudgel that Zhang Xiu took out from her waist, the eldest princess suddenly changed her expression and began to praise it with a look of sorrow and anger.

After a while, the two of them came to the inn lobby and sat down, eating the plain noodles specially prepared by the landlady for Zhong Xiaomei.

Although the clear soup was a little watery, the two of them still ate it with gusto after being hungry for a day.

While eating, an old man with white hair and beard walked in. He was the guest who was scared away just now.

Behind him was a fierce-looking scarred man. As soon as he entered the door, he stared at Zhang Xiu and the eldest princess with greedy eyes, looking back and forth on their faces, as if he wanted to eat them alive.

Seeing that the ghost went back and brought back an even scarier companion, the eldest princess suddenly felt chills stand on her head.

After a moment, the eldest princess swallowed a mouthful of plain noodles with a stiff expression. She felt that her scalp was numb from the hot gaze of Scarface. She involuntarily grabbed Zhang Xiu's sleeve and said in a trembling voice: "They seem... they seem to be coming for us. Right..."

Zhang Xiu hummed, glanced at the old man with the white beard and the scarred face. After they passed by, a glimmer of excitement suddenly bloomed in his eyes, and he whispered: "Did you smell a whiff of ginseng chicken soup just now? odor?"

The eldest princess was startled: "No, why do you ask this suddenly?"

A kind smile appeared on Zhang Xiu's face: "It's nothing, I just feel that our dinner is settled."

The eldest princess was confused, so she hurriedly scooped up all the noodles in the bowl and took Zhang Xiu back to the room arranged for them by the landlady.

When she came into the room, the eldest princess let out a deep breath and said with a worried look on her face: "Let's not leave this room for the next two days. There are all kinds of monsters and ghosts in this Yin and Yang world. I feel it's too dangerous."

Zhang Xiu looked at the direction of the room on the right, his gaze seemed to have penetrated the wall, and he said with a godly look: "Some things can't be avoided if you want to, and... you don't want to add a late night snack. A bowl of ginseng chicken soup?”

The eldest princess: "..."

At this point, she finally understood.

Zhang Xiu is eyeing those two monsters and wants to strike first...

This... who the hell is the monster! !
