"Oh, forget about her. This girl is destined to be with me. She can be the heir of this land."
The Black Mountain Ghost King thought about it and took a few steps forward, while Nie Xiaoqian took a few steps back under Zhou Chuan's control.
"Old man..." she said with a little horror.
"Don't call me old man."
As the Black Mountain Ghost King spoke, his originally hunched body suddenly grew taller, and his wrinkled face quickly became younger.
Suddenly, a black and red robe appeared out of nowhere and fell on his shoulders. With a pale beard about half a meter long, he looked quite majestic.
It was the two eyes on his face, one was scarlet and eerie, the other had only dark, empty eye sockets, adding a bit of evil to the majesty.
"Young lady, your little tricks may be useful for deceiving ordinary people, but I have been in the ghost realm for hundreds of years. If I can't see through these, I would have been overthrown by the monsters and ghosts under my command long ago."
He walked slowly, leaving a trail of black and red footprints on the ground, and stood in front of Nie Xiaoqian.
"You are nothing but a lonely ghost. Instead of absorbing human energy to survive, you might as well become the queen of my ghost town."
Nie Xiaoqian seemed to be somewhat confused by the Black Mountain Ghost King's consecutive words, and said tremblingly: "Old man..."
"I don't like this title. You should call me... King."
When the Black Mountain Ghost King said this, his beard swayed in the night wind, which was quite impressive. Zhou Chuan, who was hiding in the dark and controlling everything, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He had thought that the Black Mountain Ghost King, who had lived for four hundred years, should have lost all worldly desires, but he had not expected that this old guy not only liked beautiful female ghosts, but was also willing to show off in front of beautiful women, like the male protagonist of an old-fashioned urban novel.
"The Dragon King's smile makes life and death unpredictable, right? The old man knows how to play."
Zhou Chuanxin said, remotely controlling Nie Xiaoqian and saying, "Grandma wants to marry me to an important person. Let him know what you are thinking. You will... you should just give up on this idea."
"Your dear grandma?" The Black Mountain Ghost King said with his hands behind his back and his voice was cold.
"The grandma locust tree has attained enlightenment and has a very deep level of cultivation. All the ghosts, wild ghosts, mountain spirits and tree monsters in the surrounding area are controlled by it."
Nie Xiaoqian spoke very patiently, like an NPC guiding the players.
"Locust Tree Demon? Hahahaha!" The Black Mountain Ghost King seemed to have heard something extremely funny and let out a dry and sharp laugh, like a broken blower.
He laughed like this for a long time, and then he said, "I travel all over the place, and I have countless mountain spirits and wild ghosts under my command. The most numerous one is this locust tree demon. Your grandmother might be one of my subordinates."
When Nie Xiaoqian heard this, she seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying. She took a few steps back and looked at him from afar like a frightened little white rabbit.
The Black Mountain Ghost King smiled and continued, "Tell me the name of the important man he wants you to marry. He might be one of my subordinates."
"The name of that important person..." Nie Xiaoqian paused and whispered softly: "How dare I, a lonely ghost, to..."
“Speak!” The Black Mountain Ghost King roared.
“Black Mountain…” Nie Xiaoqian seemed to be frightened by the sudden roar and said in a very low voice: “Black Mountain Old Demon.”
"Black Mountain Demon?" Upon hearing this, the Black Mountain Ghost King smiled and then said, "Do you know that my name is the Black Mountain Ghost King?"
"Grandma only said that the man is proficient in both the demon and ghost worlds, and now dominates the City of the Dead." Nie Xiaoqian continued to guide.
“Hahahaha, your grandma is still thinking of offering you to me. She is really filial. Good, good.” The Black Mountain Ghost King lightly gathered his long beard and smiled domineeringly. The next moment he said in a cold voice: “But let’s put it one way and the other way. Rewards shall be given and punishments shall be given.”
"As early as two hundred years ago, I once said that all intelligent people under my command must call me king. What kind of bullshit name is the Black Mountain Old Demon?"
"In the past, I would have killed your grandmother with my sword just for this one thing! But now, considering that it has served you well, I will spare its life. It will be a small punishment but a big warning to all demons!"
Nie Xiaoqian seemed to finally realize that the old man in front of her who spoke so arrogantly was really an important figure. She said respectfully, "Your Majesty."
"Forget about all these formalities, just take me to see your grandmother!"
The Black Mountain Ghost King waved his hand.
"yes."
Nie Xiaoqian responded in a low voice, but her extremely stunning face was mixed with a hint of fear.
The Black Mountain Ghost King saw it all but said nothing. He just planned to wait until he saw the so-called "grandmother" and punish her severely, so as to establish his authority in front of the beauty.
After hundreds of years, there is only one direct descendant of his left, and he is in danger of death due to the Zhu family's animal-making skill card.
He actually doesn't care about this.
First, he had become accustomed to matters of life and death over the past few hundred years; second, as an immortal, as long as he was alive, why should he care about the life and death of his "future generations"
Just like now, as long as he is alive and strong, he will always have beauties with him.
What he cares about is always "fun".
good!
Whether he wanted to kill Zhou Chuan and gain stronger strength, or use the evil skill card in exchange for pseudo-immortality at the cost of his life, he did it for "fun".
To put it bluntly, it's just fun.
In his eyes, as a barefoot doctor born in the mortal world, becoming stronger and living forever would have no meaning if it were not for fun.
As for now, it was very fun for him to slap the "grandma" hard on the face to make the beauty smile.
It's hard to collect cards and it takes a lot of effort to practice. Immortality is so boring, you have to find some fun, right
"Lead the way."
Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian nodded silently and flew away in one direction.
The Black Mountain Ghost King followed behind him silently, and when he flipped his fingers, a card with an orange border appeared. The next moment, it turned into a black-handled longsword wrapped in a blood-red scabbard.
Apart from the seal cast by an unknown entity that he found in the Lord's Palace of the City of Wrongful Death, this is the most powerful weapon card in his hand.
As a lucky guy who got the first wave of bonuses from the card arrival, he picked up a lot of cards like this, especially skill cards.
You have to know that there were no card makers in that era. Cards were everywhere and whoever picked up one belonged to them.
It is always easier to develop bonds than to collect knowledge materials and create them yourself.
It was in this context that he accumulated extremely profound foundation.
Even though his mental and physical abilities are mediocre due to his personality, he can still roam the place with ease if he uses all his skills.
It is also because of this that, although he appears to be extremely anxious to kill Zhou Chuan, deep down he believes that he has the upper hand.
It was this mentality that caused him, a master, to fall into the logical trap of the field card twice in a row.
Now, we have to step into the real ghost cave.
"Look, Xiaoqian is still filial." A voice that was neither male nor female but extremely majestic came from the dark hall, "But for things like this, in the future you should..."
Before the grandmother could finish her words, the Black Mountain Ghost King suddenly shouted, interrupting her: "Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"
