149: Chapter 149 Millions of viewers wailed: Don't stop, keep going!

Lin Chen shook his head with a chuckle. "What is wrong with you all? Are your tear ducts really that sensitive? If I were to act even a little bit profound, you'd probably faint from crying on the spot, wouldn't you?"

Lin Chen truly felt that these women's ability to overthink and imagine things was just too exaggerated.

But people, especially when they are lovestruck, just love to add their own drama to the situation.

However, this offhand remark of his took on a completely different meaning to those who heard it!

It became ironclad proof of his detached, free-spirited mindset after enduring so many hardships!

Instantly, gazes full of admiration and heartache were cast upon him from all directions.

The three women of the Lin family and Song Zuer also quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

Since Brother Lin could see things so clearly, if they kept crying, it would only seem pretentious and would just add to Brother Lin's troubles.

Brother Lin didn't like seeing them cry, so they would smile for him instead.

"Hubby, the hardships of the past are all behind us. From now on, we will make you happy every single day. We will stay by your side for a lifetime, and cling to you for lifetimes to come."

Tong Liya sniffled, her nose feeling sore. Her watery peach-blossom eyes stared unblinkingly at Lin Chen, her tone deep and firm.

Liu Shishi and Guli Nazha also nodded vigorously from the side.

Even Song Zuer, while the three women weren't paying attention, secretly nodded along like a pestle pounding garlic, as if she were also a part of this family.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about such sad topics late at night. Facing such beautiful Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, let's talk about something happy."

Song Dandan was indeed a seasoned veteran. Seeing that the atmosphere had become a bit heavy, she quickly laughed and tried to smooth things over.

Xiao Yueyue immediately chimed in, "Exactly, exactly! It's not easy to come to Dali City, so facing these beautiful scenes, we must have some fun!"

Song Zuer, with the unique nasal tone that comes after crying, softly and sweetly suggested, "I want to hear Brother Lin Chen tell the story of 'ghost blows out the light'!"

This suggestion was instantly met with enthusiastic, full-hearted approval from Xiao Yueyue and Lei Jiayin.

Lei Jiayin slapped his thigh. "This suggestion is perfect! Teacher Lin, I'm really not pulling your leg. That 'ghost blows out the light' story you told kept me from sleeping soundly for several nights. Every time I closed my eyes, my brain was filled with images of grave robbing in ancient tombs. Seriously, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. It was super thrilling!"

Xiao Yueyue also nodded like a pestle pounding garlic. "That's right! It's manageable when working during the day, but as soon as I'm free at night, it feels like a cat is scratching at my heart; I just want to hear what happens next!"

Song Dandan turned to tease Tong Liya, who was sitting next to her. "You three must have been blessed at home these past few days, right? Has Teacher Lin been giving you private sessions every day? Which part are you up to? Give us a hint."

Tong Liya's cheeks flushed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up with an unmistakable hint of pride. She said coquettishly, "Actually, we haven't heard that much. Last night, Hubby only told us a small part, and as we listened... we fell asleep."

"Damn!"

Lei Jiayin smacked his lips, feeling sour. "Look at that treatment! It really makes people compare themselves and get angry! I'm here suffering from nervous exhaustion waiting for the next part every day, and you guys can actually fall asleep listening to it? Yaya, do you know that your 'humble-brag' is really asking for trouble?"

Song Dandan laughed until she couldn't close her mouth. "What are you getting angry about? They are a couple—oh no, six of them! They are under the same roof every day—oh no, in the same bed. They can listen whenever they want. Leizi, if you're really jealous, why don't you work hard and go be a... for Teacher Lin?"

"Sister Dandan! Stop right there!"

Lin Chen quickly raised his hand to stop her. "It's just telling a story, I'll arrange it. Let's not play such twisted games, okay?"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed out loud, understanding the implication.

"However, telling 'ghost blows out the light' while facing such a poetic Erhai Lake, doesn't that kind of ruin the mood? How about I tell you something else?" Lin Chen suggested.

Lei Jiayin shook his head like a rattle drum. "Absolutely not! Teacher Lin, you've already dug enough holes for us to suffer through. Can you at least fill in this old pit before opening a new one?"

Xiao Yueyue, Song Zuer, and Song Dandan also nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The feeling of being left on a cliffhanger is too painful. Once is enough; they firmly resisted any new pits!

Xiao Yueyue rubbed his hands together and looked at the pitch-black night all around. "I think telling 'ghost blows out the light' right now is a perfect match. Look at this pitch-black environment; wouldn't it be a waste not to tell a ghost story?"

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't decline any further. He cleared his throat and began to continue telling 'ghost blows out the light'.

The suspenseful and thrilling tomb exploration plot, paired with Lin Chen's god-like Ventriloquism, occasionally mimicked the wind and strange noises from deep within the ancient tomb.

Added to this was the ink-like night in Dali City, with gusts of sea breeze blowing by.

This immersive experience was simply amazing!

Everyone listened until their scalps tingled, as if they were truly immersed in a gloomy and terrifying underground tomb.

The effect was obvious. Guli Nazha and Liu Shishi had long been scared like two quails, burrowing tightly into Lin Chen's arms on his left and right, their delicate bodies trembling.

Although Tong Liya didn't get a position, she also held tightly onto one of Lin Chen's arms, refusing to let go for even a second.

Song Zuer was so scared that she directly hugged Song Dandan's arm.

Even Lei Jiayin and Xiao Yueyue, two grown men, felt their hearts racing with fear.

But they were too embarrassed to huddle together for warmth like the women, so they could only force themselves to stay calm. Because they were sitting facing Lin Chen with their backs to Erhai Lake, they always felt gusts of chilly wind behind them, and from time to time, they had to nervously look back, terrified that a zombie might suddenly pop out from behind them.

This thrilling story continued until ten-thirty at night.

Not only the members of the Divas Hit the Road Group, but even the cameramen holding their equipment nearby were completely enthralled.

The millions of viewers in the live stream were holding their breath, not daring to even exhale loudly.

When Lin Chen stopped telling the story, indicating that it was getting late, and took his three wives to go back to their room to sleep, the live stream's chat section exploded instantly, with the screen filled with pleas of "Don't stop" and "Keep telling the story."

But Lin Chen couldn't see the chat at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't pay any attention to it.

The air by Erhai Lake in the middle of the night was damp, and the sea breeze made people feel a bit chilly.

His freakishly strong constitution naturally didn't care, but his three delicate wives in his arms were already shivering from the cold.

Of all things in the world, his wives' health was the most important.

"Hubby, are there really monsters like zombies in ancient tombs?"

Returning to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Tong Liya changed into a light silk nightgown and lay obediently on the large waterbed.

Her fair, tender cheeks rested on her crossed arms, and she was closing her eyes comfortably, enjoying Lin Chen's professional full-body massage.

Lin Chen's massage technique could not only soothe muscles and improve blood circulation but also subtly nourish the body.

Of course, the most direct benefit was that it could make a person completely relax and get a good night's sleep.

Lin Chen was a man of infinite energy, seemingly never knowing fatigue.

As long as he had free time, he would never be stingy about spending it on his wives.

His own women, of course, had to be pampered intensely.

This was also the reason why Tong Liya and the others were devoted to Lin Chen, loving him to the bone.

Outsiders only saw the five of them, big stars, compromising and serving one husband together, thinking they were making blind sacrifices for love.

But how could outsiders know what kind of heavenly life they lived behind closed doors?

Every day, they didn't need to diet to maintain their figures; they could eat as much of the delicious food Lin Chen cooked as they wanted without gaining weight.

When tired, they had Lin Chen to personally massage and relax them.

In bed, they were even more nourished and radiant. This life, they wouldn't trade it for the whole world!

"Of course there are. Not only are there, but they are everywhere. Haven't you ever seen one?" Lin Chen replied casually, his hands kneading Tong Liya's smooth back.

"Ah?!" "Really?!"

Liu Shishi and Guli Nazha, who had just finished washing their faces and were coming out of the bathroom with face masks on, were so scared that they almost jumped when they heard this.

"Are there really that many of these things? Are they right around us?" Liu Shishi ran to the bedside in a few steps and sat down next to Lin Chen, her watery eyes full of shock and fear.

Tong Liya thought she was in the way, so she lifted her fair, tender little foot and kicked Liu Shishi's butt lightly. "Sit further away, your feet are almost in my mouth."

Lin Chen didn't stop his hand movements, holding back a laugh as he said, "There are plenty; you can buy them in any big supermarket. During the Dragon Boat Festival, didn't you all polish off several meat zongzi each?"

The three women of the Lin family were stunned for a moment, then realized they had been teased, and immediately let out a chorus of coquettish scolding.

Guli Nazha pounced directly onto Lin Chen's back, her soft arms wrapping around his neck, the fullness of her chest pressing tightly against his back, acting coquettishly:

"Hubby, you're so annoying! You scared us on purpose! You know we weren't asking about the kind of zongzi you eat, but the kind of reanimated zombies in 'ghost blows out the light'!"

Liu Shishi also chimed in, "That's right, Hubby, tell us the truth, are there really those kinds of dirty things in reality?"

Following Liu Shishi's question, the millions of viewers in the live stream also pricked up their ears.

Reason told everyone that the things in the novel were all fictional and did not conform to the materialist scientific worldview.

But Lin Chen told it too immersively, with full details, making people unconsciously feel a sense of immersion, and even a mysterious illusion of "better to believe it exists."

This was just like those hardcore Jin Yong martial arts fans; there were really people who would go online to buy pirated books like the "Nine Yin Manual" or "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" to practice.

They knew 99.9% that it was fake, but in their hearts, they always held onto that one-in-ten-thousand chance: what if it was real?

"No, I made it all up." Lin Chen poured a bucket of cold water on everyone's fantasies.

"Hubby, then do you think there are really ghosts in this world?" Guli Nazha still wouldn't give up and continued to ask.

Lin Chen skillfully pressed on a spot on Tong Liya's waist and said calmly:

"How would I know that? But as the saying goes, 'If you do no evil in your life, you need not fear a knock on the door at midnight.' As long as you act uprightly and live with a clear conscience, even if there really are ghosts, they can't do anything to you."

Tong Liya hummed comfortably. "Anyway, I've been afraid of that stuff since I was a kid. When I was little, my grandpa loved to tell me ghost stories. I was both scared and loved listening to them. There was a period where I was so scared that I didn't even dare to turn off the lights when sleeping at night. Later, my grandpa got his ears pinched and was scolded by my grandma. Haha."

Liu Shishi nodded in deep agreement. "Me too! I'm scared to death, but I just love watching horror movies. It's a pity that the recent domestic horror movies are all too terrible."

Lin Chen gave a resounding slap on Tong Liya's pert, peach-like buttocks. "Alright, turn over and get up, the massage is done."

Then, he pulled Guli Nazha over and pressed her down, and while kneading her shoulders, he said slowly:

"Actually, there are some things I didn't intend to mention to you. But since the atmosphere is right tonight, and we are having such a good chat, I think I can give you a little insight."

Upon hearing there was big gossip, the three women of the Lin family instantly perked up, their three pairs of bright, watery eyes staring intently at Lin Chen. "What is it, Hubby? Tell us, tell us quickly!"
