Chapter 673: An Old Monster

"Dad!"

The call connected, and Lin Chang'e called out in a childish voice.

"Awesome, you've learned how to make a phone call!"

Lin Feng said in a pretended surprised tone.

Lin Chang'e said, "This is really simple!"

From her tone, Lin Feng could picture Lin Chang'e rolling her eyes.

He was about to ask Lin Chang'e why she had called him.

Then he heard Lin Chang'e say, "Dad, an old monster has come to the house!"

"Huh?"

Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise, "What old monster?"

Lin Chang'e said, "It's a very powerful person; he says he's called 'Dead Grandfather', but he's clearly alive—why would he call himself Dead Grandfather?"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, "What about Aunt Yao Yao?"

Qi Yao had gone to Yanjing, and Lin Feng knew that.

"Aunt Yao Yao, Aunt Miaomiao, Aunt Caiwei, and Aunt Enhui—the four of them have gone out."

"What are they out for?"

"To look for Mom! Mom ran away again, but... Aunt Yao Yao gave me a lollipop, so I told her where Mom lives."

"You're really something!"

Lin Feng shook his head.

Then he said, "Let's talk about the old monster—it's that Dead Grandfather."

Lin Chang'e said, "Dead Grandfather seems sick, always coughing, giving people an uncomfortable feeling."

But Aunt Yao Yao let Dead Grandfather stay at home. Dead Grandfather wants to see you, so he's waiting at home.

Dead Grandfather said, if you don't come back, he'll keep waiting at home.

I! am specifically left to look after the house; now the two Da Hei dogs obey my commands.

As Lin Chang'e spoke, she became proud again.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, "Little Chang'e, stay away from that Dead Grandfather. I'm coming back right now—I'll hang up."

After hanging up, Lin Feng was about to call Qi Yao when his phone rang.

Qi Yao initiated the call.

"Yao Yao..."

Lin Feng answered the phone.

Qi Yao said, "Trouble has come to our door."

"Is that Eunuch Shi?" Lin Feng asked.

"You know about it?"

"Just now Lin Chang'e called me, saying an old monster came to the house; I was about to call you to ask!"

Qi Yao's tone was grave, "Don't come back for now; this Eunuch Shi is very formidable, I'm no match for him."

As she said this, the previous scene appeared in her mind.

Or perhaps Eunuch Shi sensed Qi Yao's ill-intentioned gaze and thus showed off a trick.

Eunuch Shi found the cicadas in the courtyard too noisy, and asked the butler for a needle.

He casually scattered them.

On the trees in the courtyard, dozens of cicadas fell to the ground.

Each cicada—that is, on the head of each cicada—had a needle stuck in it.

After that, Eunuch Shi had butler Andrew pick up those cicadas, saying he wanted to roast and eat them.

Seeing this, Qi Yao felt shocked.

Not to mention Qian Miaomiao, Zheng Enhui, and Yang Caiwei.

One look tells you this Eunuch Shi is no ordinary person; unexpectedly he's so formidable, like the novel's Dongfang Bubai.

Thus Qi Yao had Lin Chang'e stay to watch the house, taking Qian Miaomiao, Yang Caiwei, and Zheng Enhui with her as they left home.

Next, she had Yang Caiwei notify the women in Yanjing not to come to the Sihe Courtyard unless necessary.

After notifying them one by one, Qi Yao immediately called Lin Feng.

"I can't tell what kind of person this is, so I plan to first consult the sister witch."

"Be careful! I'll be back right away."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, Qi Yao hung up the phone.

At the same moment.

"Eunuch Shi, the target has been found; why stay?"

In a room of the Sihe Courtyard, butler Andrew curiously asked Eunuch Shi.

Two beautiful women were massaging Eunuch Shi's legs.

Eunuch Shi smiled and said, "Originally I was looking for that little girl, but I didn't expect there to be three formidable women here as well!"

"I reckon there are more than just these four; there must be even more!"

"As for this Boss Lin, I now understand why he suddenly rose to prominence!"

"I, too, have stirred up the winds and clouds in many ages, just like him!"

"I've seen Qin Shi Huang; the idea to bury the scholars alive was mine—do you believe me?"

"Why kill those people?"

Because they might have discovered my secret, the immortality elixir had already been perfected long ago, but I ate it.

After the Qin dynasty fell, I again worked beside Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu—I clearly liked him so much, yet he despised me! Hmph!

So I betrayed him; he ought to have lived, but I made him so furious he drew his sword and took his own life.

Later, after many years, having come out of seclusion, I was again by the side of Prince Liu An of Huainan, originally thinking this guy could become emperor,

I never expected……

Afterwards, the Han dynasty fell.

Eunuch Shi chattered on and on about his own glorious deeds.

Although Andrew is an American, he is well versed in the history of the great Eastern nation.

Americans speak bluntly; after hearing Eunuch Shi finish, he shook his head and said, "Eunuch Shi, why have you followed so many people, yet they all ended up failing?"

Eunuch Shi laughed and said, "So! I later changed my mind and decided to take charge. In the ensuing chaotic era, I actually became an emperor! Do you know about the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?"

Andrew shook his head: "I'm not very familiar with that period of history."

Eunuch Shi sighed and then said, "What I actually miss most is the Great Ming dynasty!"

"Understood!"

Andrew gave a thumbs up and said, "The dynasty you headed, Grandfather."

Eunuch Shi never told Andrew about his origins.

But now he's happy, already in a state of elation.

All I heard him say was: "I've lived over two thousand years; I can finally cure my ailment! If I can't, I'll even start doubting whether I'm a man."

Andrew said, "Actually, being a woman isn't bad either!"

Eunuch Shi gave Andrew a sideways glance, smiled, and said, "All these years, I've stopped at nothing to climb higher, just to find them… the Witch Tribe!"

The elixir I originally refined was made from the flesh and blood of the Witch Tribe.

Unfortunately the formula wasn't perfect, but after years of calculation I've managed to complete it fully.

All that's missing is the Witch Tribe's essential ingredient!

But that ball is simply too huge; it hasn't shown up in all these years.

Andrew said, "Wasn't there one over seventy years ago?"

He was referring to the corpse of a Witch Tribe man found by the Japanese.

Eunuch Shi raised his orchid finger and said, "You don't understand—I need the flesh and blood of a Witch Tribe woman; a man won't do."

Andrew wondered, "Isn't it 'you are what you eat'?"

Eunuch Shi's gaze turned icy.

If this weren't Boss Lin's home, he would surely have made Andrew taste the Bone‑Softening Palm.

Andrew has been guarding Eunuch Shi's side since his youth; although Eunuch Shi spends most of his time asleep, he also knows Eunuch Shi's temper.

Seeing Eunuch Shi angry, he quickly changed the subject: "I guess Boss Lin won't agree."

"No!"

Eunuch Shi, with a confident look, said, "The condition I proposed, he will surely accept."

Andrew wore a look of curiosity.

Eunuch Shi laughed again and said, "I'll trade Chen Yu, Luoyan, Bi Yue, and Xiuhua for him, and he'll surely agree."

The Chen Yu, Luoyan, Bi Yue, and Xiuhua that Eunuch Shi spoke of are the four great beauties of ancient Eastern nation.

Of course, they are not Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan, and Yang Yuhuan.

Rather, they are the beautiful women Eunuch Shi collected from that era.

And there are more than just these four!

The two young women massaging his legs right now are merely two handy maids from the Ming dynasty.
