#1246 - Chapter 1246 Dedicated to the Tiger Family

Ye Kong immediately walked over, and as his hand reached for the woman's veil, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Once you lift the veil, she is yours!"

Ye Kong's hand, which was about to lift the veil, froze in place.

Liu Ru Shi didn't hear the strange voice and was still urging Ye Kong, "Hurry up, see if it's Ling Li?"

Ye Kong was stunned for a moment. Then, Liu Ru Shi took a step forward, grabbed Ye Kong's hand, and pulled the red veil down.

"Ah!" Liu Ru Shi was frightened by the scene before her.

Under the red veil was a skeleton, but unusually, it was wearing full makeup and a wig, with painted eyebrows and red lipstick on the snow-white bones, which was extremely horrifying.

Ye Kong pulled Liu Ru Shi behind him, "Something's wrong, stand back a little."

Two seconds later, the "bride" in front of them turned to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

At that moment, a loud laughter suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the laughter becoming increasingly eerie, and then, the laughter stopped, "Aren't you looking for a bride? Then follow me."

"Did you hear any sound?" Ye Kong asked.

"No," Liu Ru Shi shook her head.

"I'll go in and take a look. You go to the agreed place and find Qishan. You guys stay there and wait for me, don't run around," Ye Kong said and was about to go in.

"But Ye Kong…" Liu Ru Shi wanted to say something.

Ye Kong knew that Liu Ru Shi wanted to go in together, so he stopped her, "Wait for me to come out, she only invited me."

Liu Ru Shi didn't ask any more, nodded, and left the cave.

Ye Kong carefully looked at the stone wall in front of him, pushing each one lightly, and finally pushed the stone wall in the rearmost corner.

With a push from Ye Kong, the entire stone wall moved backward, leaving a passage for only one person to enter.

Ye Kong walked straight in.

It was very dark in the passage. All the way, Ye Kong heard someone whispering, which was not quite the same as last night.

The further he went inside, the louder the sound became. In the end, the sound seemed to be speaking right in Ye Kong's face, but there was no one in sight within Ye Kong's field of vision.

But how to find Ling Li among these thousand brides, and hit the mark with one strike, otherwise, not only Ling Li, but he himself would be trapped.

The lights inside flickered, adding some difficulty to the search.

Ye Kong passed in front of everyone, but had no clue.

At this moment, the spirit pearl in Ye Kong's arms lit up.

Ye Kong took out the spirit pearl and suddenly remembered that this was Ling Li's personal spirit pearl given by Elder Bai San when he came down the mountain, asking him to give it to Ling Li. For a moment, he had actually forgotten.

Now that the spirit pearl suddenly lit up, the woman in front of him must be Ling Li.

Ye Kong was about to reach out and lift the veil.

At this moment, the wind suddenly picked up in the cave, and then, all the brides began to move quickly. After the wind subsided, these seemingly identical brides had already changed positions invisibly.

"Are you deliberately playing with me?" Ye Kong cursed angrily.

He took out the spirit pearl and tried it on each one. But this time, after passing through all thousand brides, the spirit pearl never lit up again.

Did the spirit pearl fail? Ye Kong walked again, and suddenly he noticed that the positions of the brides were somewhat different from before, as if a person's position had been deliberately vacated.

Ye Kong put away the spirit pearl, "Ling Li is not here at all, where did you hide her?"

Immediately, a burst of laughter exploded above Ye Kong's head, and a strange voice came, "I gave you so many brides, and you're still not satisfied."

"What exactly do you want to do!" Ye Kong directly drew his long sword.

Instantly, a gust of wind lifted the veils of all the brides in the entire cave, and the faces of pink skeletons were all exposed in front of Ye Kong, approaching Ye Kong step by step.

Ye Kong picked up his long sword and slashed over, but found that he couldn't cause them any harm. These brides passed through the long sword and pressed down on Ye Kong one by one.

"Ah…" With a loud cry, Ye Kong suddenly woke up and realized that it was pitch black in front of him.

It turned out that he had just had a dream.

Ye Kong brushed away the sweat from his head, but the spirit pearl in his arms was emitting light.

Ye Kong took out the spirit pearl and saw Ling Li lying on the stone bed not far away, wearing a red dress.

Ye Kong quickly went over and picked up Ling Li. Ling Li also woke up at this time and weakly asked, "Ye Kong, where is this?"

"It's okay, we'll go out now," Ye Kong picked up Ling Li. The second after they stepped out of the cave, the entire cave collapsed, instantly turning into ruins.

Ye Kong carried Ling Li to the agreed place, where Qishan and Liu Ru Shi were waiting. Seeing Ye Kong coming, they looked incredulous, "Ye Kong, you two?"

Ye Kong didn't have time to look, "What's wrong?"

"Did you two go to get married? Why are you both wearing red clothes?" Liu Ru Shi asked.

Ye Kong looked down and realized that he was wearing a groom's robe at some point.

Ye Kong took off the robe and took off Ling Li's as well, found a piece of clothing for Ling Li to put on, and then didn't forget to say, "This place is too strange, let's go down the mountain first and discuss it later."

"By the way, let's not rush to leave, let's rest for a night in the town at the foot of the mountain," Ye Kong carried Ling Li, "There are some things I want to figure out."

The four of them came to an inn at the foot of the mountain to rest. Ye Kong settled the three of them, and then slipped out alone.

The town was bustling with people, but Ye Kong saw almost only men on the streets. Occasionally, there were some older women, but almost no young women.

So, Ye Kong spent a little money and ordered a bowl of noodles at an old shop on the roadside.

The waiter was quick and efficient, and also very good at talking. Seeing that Ye Kong was a stranger, he knew he was an outsider and specially recommended the town's good places to Ye Kong.

Ye Kong casually asked, "Why are there so many people on the street, but I don't see any young girls?"

The waiter glanced at Ye Kong and didn't say anything.

Ye Kong added a tip and asked the waiter to bring a pot of good wine.

The waiter happily went, but when he came back, he looked around, leaned into Ye Kong's ear, "Sir, you don't know, in our town, young women are all the property of the Hu family of Hu Shuyuan, and are not easily shown to others."

"That's a joke. There are so many women in the world, how can they be owned by the Hu family alone? Wouldn't that be a mess?" Ye Kong deliberately asked.

The waiter's expression was very common, "That's not the case. It's just that any family in the town that has a daughter must offer her to the Hu family."
