The air seemed to freeze. Yu Zhengzheng stared at his face in a daze. After a long while, he managed to utter a few words: "Ghost, Ghost King... Why are you here?"
Rong Shang raised the corner of his lips, leaned down slightly, and turned his head lazily: "I'm not here, how do you know someone wants to escape?"
He was so close to her that his slightly cool thin lips brushed against her fair earlobe intentionally or unintentionally, and his warm breath gently penetrated into her ear, and a tingling electric shock sensation instantly spread throughout her body.
The low, magnetic voice, like a subwoofer, made her mind go blank.
The blood rushed to the top of his head, and his cheeks immediately turned slightly red as if he had drunk two kilograms of white wine.
Obviously, this face looks so ordinary, and this action is just ordinary, but when put together, it makes her, a face-chasing girl who is used to seeing handsome men, feel soft all over.
Rong Shang saw that she just blushed and said nothing, without even an explanation. The smile on her lips faded, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
Just because he didn't kill her didn't mean he wouldn't teach her a lesson.
Even if he cut off her legs, as long as she was alive, she could apply medicine to him.
This was the price she had to pay for running away.
His thin and pale knuckles were slightly bent, and his calloused fingertips gently stroked the jade ring. If he raised his palm just a little, he could easily break her legs.
Where is the best place to break it
While Rong Shang was lost in thought, Yu Zhengzheng gradually came to her senses. She seemed to sense the subtle murderous aura and quickly took two steps back.
She lied lamely, "I heard from the guardian Xiang that you were coming to the human world, so I was afraid that you would get lost, so I prepared to pick you up at the city gate."
Rong Shang lazily lifted his eyelids and chuckled slowly, "What about this... chicken?"
The fat hen lay down lazily, like a spectator watching the fun, staring at the two of them with her little black eyes, as if mocking her.
When Yu Zhengzheng saw the positioning bracelet on the hen's foot, she suddenly understood why the Ghost King could find her so easily.
It turns out that the person who controls the positioning bracelet is not Xiang Feng, but the Ghost King, so he knows she is here.
She looked at the gloating chicken and kicked it in annoyance.
What kind of stupid chicken is this? It has been running around for a long time, but it hasn't even moved from its nest for such a long time, and it still dares to make fun of her.
Now that the hen has been caught red-handed, how can she explain to him that the hen has a positioning bracelet on its foot
Yu Zhengzheng: "Please listen to my explanation. This matter is not what you think."
Rong Shang: "Yeah."
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
Why is he always like this
It is obvious that in the old sad novels, once there is any misunderstanding, the male protagonist, male supporting characters and villains will not listen when the female protagonist or female supporting characters want to explain.
The Ghost King is the villain boss in this book after all. He is more than 100,000 years old and still so rebellious. It really makes her feel embarrassed!
She swallowed, her eyes inadvertently sweeping over the two bracelets on her hands, her eyes suddenly brightened.
"I forgot to return the communication bracelet to you last time in Luan Palace. I have a storage bracelet on my left hand and your communication bracelet on my right hand. It's too heavy to wear another bracelet, so I put the bracelet on this chicken foot first."
She kept talking nonsense. "I had thought that when I met you at the city gate, I would return the communication bracelet to you, and then put the bracelet back on the chicken's foot. I could also keep the chicken and kill it to make soup for you, which would kill two birds with one stone."
After saying that, Yu Zhengzheng took off the communication bracelet, respectfully held one end of the bracelet, and presented it with both hands with a pious expression.
Rong showed no interest in her lies. His eyes passed her and looked at the fat hen.
It is the ancient mythical beast Chongming Bird. It looks like a chicken, crows like a phoenix, has double pupils in its eyes, and is best at camouflage, so it is also called the Double-Eyed Bird.
The Chongming bird is extremely powerful. Not only can it ward off evil spirits, but the eggs it lays are also rare treasures that cultivators in the immortal world desire but cannot obtain. Just one egg can allow a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage to reach the Golden Core Stage directly.
Although no one knows how the Chongming bird ended up in the human world, it has a proud and aloof temperament and hates cultivators the most. It is truly amazing that it could not escape from her clutches.
The corners of his lips curled up slowly, and he paused stroking the jade ring, but did not take the communication bracelet: "You keep it, I will find you when I have something to ask."
He changed his mind.
Taking the Chongming bird's eggs could buy him some time.
Just consider it as her merit in finding the Chongming bird, and let the merits and demerits offset each other, so the legs will be left for her to use for the time being.
Yu Zhengzheng looked at him in confusion. What could he possibly want from her
She asked tentatively: "What about this communication bracelet?"
Without answering her, he raised his palm slightly, and a chain gleaming with tiny silver lights fell from his thin fingertips.
“Tie it around your ankles,” he ordered.
A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. Yu Zhengzheng has always been able to bend and stretch.
She carefully pinched the end of the silver chain and obediently put it on her ankle.
Rong Shang did not explain to her what this chain was, but she could guess with her toes that its function must be similar to that of a positioning bracelet.
She bent down and picked up the hen, and said with a dry smile, "It's getting late, do you want to go back to the inn and rest first?"
He slowly put away his oil-paper umbrella and said, "No."
Yu Zhengzheng: "Where do you want to go?"
Rong Shang: "Visiting a brothel."
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
The largest brothel in the capital was called Jinxing Pavilion, and it was where Nangong Tianba's ninety-ninth princess auctioned her cu'y:e.
Xiang Feng and his friends had already gone to Jinxing Pavilion, and they didn't know when the auction would start. The Ghost King was indeed still as good as ever, and even at his age he still liked to play with such fancy things.
Yu Zhengzheng naturally didn't want to go to a dirty place like a brothel, but since the Ghost King wanted to visit a brothel, she had no choice but to accompany him.
The white robe she wore was men's clothing, and her hair was tied up on top of her head with a hairpin. In addition, she was a little malnourished and had a hunched back, so it was hard to tell that she was a woman.
Jinxing Pavilion is a big place after all. Yu Zhengzheng thought that a heavily made-up woman would pounce on her as soon as she entered, but the facts proved that she was overthinking.
According to the information provided by Xiang Feng, tonight is the annual auction of Jinxing Pavilion. The top performers that the pavilion has focused on cultivating for a whole year will be auctioned today.
Those who came today are all noblemen from the capital. The madam is so busy that she has no time to take care of them.
As soon as Yu Zhengzheng entered, she saw Xiang Feng and others in the lobby on the first floor.
Several women changed into men's clothes. Except for Shanshui, the others all looked unhappy.
She waved at them. Xiang Feng was slightly startled when he saw Rong Shang's face, and then stepped forward and whispered, "Welcome, Your Majesty."
Rong Shang lazily lifted his eyelids: "Why don't you go to the wing room?"
Xiang Feng: "No money."
Jinxing Pavilion did not allow women to enter, so he could only spend money to make a few sets of men's clothing for them. This exceeded the budget, and it was already good enough that they could barely get into the lobby.
The reason why they looked so unhappy was because they didn't even have a place to sit and they thought he was too stingy.
In fact, he had a lot of money in his hands, but he had to use that money to buy delicious food for Shanshui. Shanshui was greedy and had a big appetite, so every time he went to the human world, she would pester him for food.
He always had to save some money and use the remaining money to buy food for her.
Rong was rich, he had spiritual stones if he wanted them, and gold if he wanted them. He casually threw out a hundred thousand taels of silver note and said, "Pick a room with a good location."
Xiang Feng responded and went to talk to the madam.
No one recognized Rong Shang as the Ghost King, nor did they hear Xiang Feng's conversation with him, so they just thought Rong Shang was also a disciple of the Ghost Sect.
Shanshui was very happy to see Yu Zhengzheng. She saw that Yu Zhengzheng was holding a hen in her hand and asked curiously, "Miss Zhengzheng, is this your pet?"
Most cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation keep spiritual pets in private. If the spiritual pet is a rare species, it will be very prestigious to take it out.
This hen looks very lively and is considered a rare and precious species in the eyes of mountains and rivers.
Before Yu Zhengzheng could say anything, Ziyu couldn't help but sneer, "I've heard of people raising birds, but this is the first time I've seen anyone raising chickens."
Ziqian sneered twice: "Birds of a feather flock together, and a pet is matched with its master. Miss Yu and this chicken are truly a match made in heaven."
The spiritual pets of both of them are manta rays, also known as flying fish. Although they are not precious spiritual pets, they are rare and it is prestigious to talk about them.
Although Yu Jiangjiang did not say anything to ridicule him, he chuckled twice to show his disdain.
Yu Zhengzheng ignored them. She had just dealt with the matter of the chicken and didn't want to bring up the matter of the hen again in front of the Ghost King.
If the Ghost King came to his senses and felt that something was wrong with the positioning bracelet, she would be in big trouble.
Originally, Ziyu and Ziqian confronted Yu Zhengzheng just to save face in front of Xiao Yuqing, but none of them noticed that his attention was not on them at all.
Xiao Yuqing looked at the man in white behind her and said thoughtfully, "Is this Miss Yu's friend?"
Yu Zhengzheng suddenly remembered that they had never met the Ghost King, so he quickly took the initiative to introduce him: "This is me..."
Rong Shang: "Godfather."
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
If Xiang Feng hadn't brought the madam back, she swore that she would have rebelled.
When Xiang Feng heard Rong Shang's words, he immediately understood what he meant.
No wonder the king changed his face, it turned out he didn’t want others to know his identity.
Xiang Feng no longer called him Your Majesty, but his attitude remained respectful: "The wing room is on the third floor, number one."
Rong Shang nodded slightly and went upstairs first.
Yu Jiangjiang first glanced at Xiao Yuqing, and then said meaningfully: "Sister is really popular with the opposite sex. She has only been in Ghost Sect for a few days and has already recognized two godfathers. It would be great if I could have even a little bit of your popularity with the opposite sex."
Yu Zhengzheng sneered: "If you want a godfather, just tell me. The guy upstairs, kowtow twice and call him daddy, and I will give him to you."
Yu Jiangjiang was choked and her face turned pale with anger. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yu Zhengzheng stopped arguing with her and went up to the third floor carrying the hen.
The group entered the room one after another, except Xiao Yuqing who was a little late.
Not long after, the auction began.
The princess was the finale character and naturally appeared last. Yu Zhengzheng was not interested in the auction of cu'y:e and was leaning against the railing fiddling with the hen's tail.
The double-headed bird still looked lazy and didn't care at all that someone was playing with its tail. It liked the warm breath from her body, and the temperature was very suitable for hatching eggs.
Shanshui felt sleepy at a certain time. Normally, she would have fallen asleep at this time, but at this moment she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Xiang Feng could only let her lean on his shoulder and fall asleep first.
Everyone in the room was talking and laughing, and didn't even look down.
Yu Zhengzheng was waiting in boredom, and just when she was about to fall asleep, she inadvertently saw the woman who was being auctioned on the red stage in the lobby.
She rubbed her eyes and almost thought she was dazzled.
This woman actually looks exactly like the Palace Master of Lingbi Palace who died thousands of years ago.
Yu Zhengzheng thought of Shanshui. She was about to get up and find an excuse to close the window of the room, but when she looked up, she found that Xiang Feng was staring out the window in a daze.
