The air in the palace seemed to be frozen. Only Yu Zhengzheng's overly exaggerated voice was still echoing in the hall. The 3D stereo sound effect of the powerful word "shit" was played in everyone's ears in a loop.
Everyone stared at her in amazement, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.
High, it’s so high!
How should the Ghost King respond to this
Is it possible to give her a shit on the spot and let her eat it while it’s hot
Yu Zhengzheng felt a sticky and wet feeling on the palm of her hand. She didn't dare to open her eyes and could only bite her lower lip tightly. All the cells and nerves in her body were tense, and she prayed silently in her heart that the Ghost King would not pick a fight with her.
Normally, she would be afraid of the pain even if she pulled out a white hair, not to mention that the Ghost King could cause her to lose an organ or even her life if he attacked her.
A cool breeze blew into the hall, and the agate bead curtain swayed from side to side. The agate beads collided with each other and made a slight sound.
Rong Shang looked through the gap in the beaded curtain and saw the woman standing in the hall trembling slightly. Perhaps she was too nervous, so she subconsciously tensed her body, causing the wound under her collarbone to ooze out a trace of blood.
She used to wear rough grey clothes, but today she was wearing the white clothes of the inner city disciples. It was unknown who the clothes belonged to, but they were a little big for her, making her look like a willow, fragile and weak.
This was the first time Rong Shang looked at her straight in the eye.
He gently stroked the beads on his fingertips, and his fingertips slowly rubbed the texture of the beads: "Are you willing to die for me?"
Yu Zhengzheng was stunned and raised her head with her body stiff.
Shanshui shook his head, feeling a little regretful.
If she dared to say "yes", the Ghost King would definitely kill her, but if she said "no", the Ghost King would not let her go according to his temper.
This looks like a dead end.
Yu Zhengzheng didn't want to answer his question, but she had to answer it.
She took a breath and said through gritted teeth: "I am willing to live for the Ghost King."
His thin lips curled up slightly, and he glanced at her with a smile: "Oh?"
She knew that he was asking her the reason, and if her answer satisfied him, maybe he would show leniency and let her go.
Yu Zhengzheng tried to hold on to her calves, which were as soft as noodles, and looked at the swaying bead curtain seriously: "Death is not scary, living requires courage."
Being bitten to death by zombies is very painful, but losing consciousness brings relief. As for those who are still alive, they have to live in fear and torment every day, watching their closest people fall one by one, but being unable to do anything.
Hearing her trembling voice, Rong paused in twirling the Buddhist beads. He lowered his head slightly to hide the frost in his eyes, and the corners of his lips that were raised returned to calm.
Seeing that he was silent, Yu Zhengzheng couldn't guess what he was thinking, but she vaguely felt that she seemed to have upset him.
She held the idea of giving it a try and praised him: "The Ghost King is as handsome as the moon, as elegant as the stars, as unrivaled as the stars in the sky, as stunning as a human being..."
She used all the idioms she had learned to praise people during her nine years of compulsory education, until she ran out of words. Then she made a concluding statement: "I have admired you for a long time, and I wish to serve you and stay by your side for the rest of my life."
Don't hit a smiling person. She praised him to the sky. He must be in a better mood now, right
He suppressed his gaze and looked at her meaningfully: "I heard that you once blocked a sword for my enemy... Do you like him?"
Yu Zhengzheng was stunned. Could the Ghost King’s enemy be referring to the eldest senior brother
The eldest brother’s wet nurse was a survivor of the Donghuang Dragon Clan. After she fled to the human world and gave birth to the eldest brother, her family was massacred.
He believed that the Ghost King was responsible for this, so he went to Mount Penglai to learn martial arts from him, hoping that he could take revenge on the Ghost King one day.
Now it seems that the Ghost King must have known the eldest brother's life experience, so he sent people to Penglai Mountain to hunt him down
But in the original text, the Ghost King only learned of the eldest senior brother’s true identity before the eldest senior brother broke through the Mahayana stage and was about to pass the tribulation and ascend to heaven.
Now that the eldest senior brother has just reached the Nascent Soul stage, the timing doesn’t match
Wait, what does this have to do with her
She had already blocked one sword for that scumbag, she couldn't let herself be stabbed a second time because of him, right
Thinking of this, Yu Zhengzheng smiled and said, "How could that be possible? He is just a toad that wants to eat swan meat. I just slipped and blocked him by accident."
She said this in a decisive tone, as if she couldn't wait to sever her master-disciple relationship with her senior brother, and her tone was filled with disgust.
Rong Shang laughed suddenly, and his arrogant laughter could be heard throughout the entire palace. That laughter was like the sound of a devil entering the ears, and it made people feel a dull pain in their hearts.
At some point, the laughter disappeared, and the white shadow behind the bead curtain was long gone.
Yu Zhengzheng knew that he had saved his life, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then left from the front of the team tremblingly.
As soon as the Ghost King left, the Shura King also left.
The oath-taking that followed became simpler. The male and female nuns who lined up in a long line described themselves and took the oath one by one. Then they were divided into groups and taken away for settlement by the Ghost Sect members.
Yu Zhengzheng was still in a group with the people from Penglai Mountain, but there was one more person in the group, Xiao Yuqing and two female disciples from the Yuling Sect.
It is not so easy to become the cauldron of the Ghost King. Today is just the first choice. There will be several more screenings in the future. The Ghost Sect will pick out the most suitable cultivators to stay. Only after the careful teaching of the old woman will they be eligible to try in Luan Palace where the Ghost King lives.
Shanshui took Yu Zhengzheng and his group on a tour of Guixu Mountain and patiently explained to them where they could go and where they could not go.
Xiao Yuqing looked at Yu Zhengzheng's pale face and couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Miss Yu, are you okay?"
Yu Zhengzheng really didn’t want to answer such nonsense. Did she look like everything was fine
She nodded perfunctorily. If it weren't for Xiao Yuqing's handsome looks, she wouldn't even be willing to give him this perfunctory nod.
Yu Jiangjiang came over and took out a golden pill from the storage ring: "Sister, this is Guiyuan Pill, it can replenish vitality and spiritual power, you will feel better after eating it."
Yu Zhengzheng glanced at her. One Guiyuan Pill cost fifty high-quality spirit stones. In order to restore her image in front of Xiao Yuqing, she was willing to spend the money.
"Sister, don't be angry. I was so scared just now that I forgot to speak up for you." Yu Jiangjiang held her arm and shook it gently twice, as if to act like a spoiled child: "Next time I will definitely protect you!"
Xiao Yuqing seemed to want to be a peacemaker. He said softly, "You are sisters. How could Miss Yu be someone who can't tell right from wrong? I'm sure Miss Yu won't blame you for this."
Yu Zhengzheng was so angry that she laughed. Yu Jiangjiang and Madam Lu were cut from the same cloth. It was obvious that Yu Jiangjiang was gloating over her misfortune, but now that she said these few words, it seemed that she disliked Yu Jiangjiang for not protecting her.
If she didn't forgive Yu Zhengzheng, it would seem like she was narrow-minded.
Yu Zhengzheng looked at the Guiyuan Pill in Yu Jiangjiang's hand and bit her lip: "I'm not angry, this pill is very expensive, you should keep it for yourself."
Yu Jiangjiang raised his chin slightly, with a barely perceptible boast in his tone: "It's okay, sister, just take it. I still have more than a dozen."
"I see, my sister is really generous."
Yu Zhengzheng did not refuse anymore. She swallowed the pill. The moment the Guiyuan Pill entered her stomach, she felt a warmth in her dantian, as if a warm current was flowing through her body, making her feel extremely comfortable.
Even the pain from the wound on the chest was relieved a lot.
As expected, the pill was worthy of being bought with fifty high-quality spirit stones. It was more effective than the inferior pills that her scumbag father had fed her. The Guiyuan Pill even tasted sweet.
Seeing that Xiao Yuqing and Yu Jiangjiang were both looking at her, she slowly raised her slender white fingertips and pressed them against her temples, her face full of worry: "I have been weak since I was young, and now I feel better. I am afraid that I will have a heart attack again at night... If I could have a few more Guiyuan Pills, I don't have to be afraid."
Yu Zhengzheng was wearing a loose white dress, perhaps because it didn't fit her well, which made her look very charming. Coupled with her hesitant look, even the straightest man would be melted into boiling water.
Xiao Yuqing didn't carry this kind of elixir for replenishing vitality with him, so he had to look at Yu Jiangjiang and said, "Miss Yu, don't worry. Sisters are connected by heart. Your sister still has more than a dozen Guiyuan Pills. She cares about you so much, she will definitely give them to you."
Yu Zhengzheng pretended to be surprised and waved her hands quickly: "This Guiyuan Pill is too expensive. How can I take my sister's pill again? It's not right, it's not right..."
Xiao Yuqing looked at Yu Jiangjiang expectantly, but Yu Jiangjiang seemed to have swallowed a fly. It was not right for him to give it to her, nor was it right for him to not give it to her.
If she said no, all her efforts would be in vain. After all, she was the one who first acted out the sisterly love with Yu Zhengzheng, and she had to maintain this character in front of Xiao Yuqing.
The Yuling Sect is the largest sect in the world of immortal cultivation. It has the best strength and resources. Sect Leader Xiao has no children, only Xiao Yuqing, an adopted son. Naturally, the Yuling Sect will be passed on to Xiao Yuqing.
Although the eldest senior brother is a very good person, Xiao Yuqing's background is obviously better than that of the eldest senior brother. If she can be with Xiao Yuqing, then Penglai Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain will be married, and she will be the head lady of the Yuling Sect, and she will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.
Even so, Yu Jiangjiang still felt heartbroken. She had bought these Guiyuan Pills with her own spirit stones, which amounted to her annual salary. That was not a small amount of money.
With a green face, she took out the remaining Guiyuan Pill from the storage ring, and stiffly stuffed the pill into Yu Zhengzheng's hand. She forced a smile through her teeth and said, "Sister, remember to drink water when you take the pill. Don't choke yourself!"
Yu Zhengzheng put the Guiyuan Pill into the storage bracelet and patted her shoulder with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, my dear sister, I will eat all the Guiyuan Pills one by one and will never let you down."
Yu Jiangjiang's facial features were visibly distorted.
Shanshui was like a diligent tour guide. He explained the historical origins of Guixu Mountain in detail and then took them to the last tourist spot.
They were surrounded by a rolling sea of black clouds, the fog was filled with white cotton, and directly in front of them was a river that seemed to have no end.
The water in the river was the same eerie dark green as the Dead Sea, with only a bare tree trunk crossing the river, which was the 'bridge' connecting the two ends.
Shanshui pointed to the river and said, "Across the river is the Luan Palace, which is the king's bedroom."
Luan Hall is the largest forbidden area in Guixu Mountain. Even people from the Ghost Sect find it difficult to enter, so there is actually nothing to say since they can't get in anyway.
She had the good fortune to go in there once with her master, but just that one time made her never want to go in there a second time. It was simply not a place for a human to stay.
"This river is called Wuchuan. Remember to bring the spiritual herbs when you cross the river. Also, be careful not to fall in."
Yu Zhengzheng looked at the rotten wooden bridge and asked cautiously, "What would happen if I fell in?"
Shanshui smiled and said, "That doesn't matter."
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Shanshui continue, "Just be more careful in your next life."
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
When the female disciple of the Yuling Sect heard this, she sneered, "The Luan Palace is not open to everyone who wants to enter. It sounds like Miss Yu is very confident in herself and has even started thinking about how to get in."
"Sister, how can you say that about Miss Yu? It is important for a person to know himself. Miss Yu just lacks some self-knowledge."
The two of them are twin sisters. Ever since they first arrived at the palace, they have been unable to stand the fact that Yu Zhengzheng is so close to their senior brother.
Having finally gotten the chance, naturally he had to ridicule Yu Zhengzheng in front of his senior brother.
Yu Zhengzheng knew that they were picking on her because of Xiao Yuqing. She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "If I wanted to go, I could go in now."
The female disciple of the Yuling Sect sneered: "Who do you think you are?!"
Shanshui was afraid that they would start quarreling, so she waved her hand to signal everyone to go back and rest. Just as she was about to speak, the jade bracelet on her hand lit up.
She tapped the jade bracelet twice, and a green light was projected into the air.
Xiang Feng's pale face appeared in front of everyone. He glanced at them slowly and said to Shanshui, "The king asked Yu Zhengzheng to go to the Luan Palace to sleep with him."
Shanshui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Yu Zhengzheng: "When are we going?"
Xiang Feng: “Right now.”
