My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 235 - 234: Let the Grown-Up Teach You How to Be a Ghost
Chapter 235: Chapter 234: Let the Grown-Up Teach You How to Be a Ghost
Kuang Shan never would have thought that after becoming a Ghost King, he would get beaten up to the point of having a bruised face and swollen nose. And what’s worse, it was on his very own wedding day, in front of all his guests.
Beaten up!
He didn’t even have the strength to fight back.
How did this happen? It was when he left Qin Liuxi behind and tried to leave; she grabbed hold of him, and then gave him a Mount Tai Pressing without bending her back, her hands striking from both sides.
He hadn’t even reacted before her fists had landed on his face, each punch solid with no waste.
The scariest part was, as he came back to his senses and tried to fight back, she smacked a talisman onto his forehead, and then his body became immobilized as if bound, completely unable to move.
Kuang Shan felt like dying, especially catching the shocked but increasingly entertained expressions of the surrounding Ghost Guests, which left him utterly humiliated.
"My goodness, truly a Little Evil God with Karmic Fire, so brutal even in beating someone up, a mighty Ghost King being suppressed and punched; no wonder we little ghosts have to steer clear of her," the ear reporting ghost nibbled on a white candle, chewing and shaking its head as it sighed ruefully.
Hearing this, the other ghosts hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Don’t you know?" said the ear reporting ghost, "This Little Evil God, despite being a Daoist from a Daoist Temple, has some formidable abilities. Remember the last time she walked the Yin Road, a greedy ghost got lustful over a human body, foolishly lunged at her, and guess what?"
"What happened?"
"Like a moth to a flame, with a sizzle, before that greedy ghost could even touch a hair on her head, it was ignited by the Karmic Fire on her body and reduced to ashes, soul scattering to the winds," the ear reporting ghost said with a face full of fear.
Hiss.
The gathering of ghosts sucked in a cold breath.
Was she that terrifying?
"Now it’s spread all over our side; we should recognize her face and not provoke her, best to walk around her. Right, I have her small portrait here, keep glancing at it from time to time when wearing it on your body. It’s not just a reminder, it can also suppress evil spirits," said the ear reporting ghost, pulling out the portrait for everyone to see, "I still have a few copies, fellow ghost brothers, would you like one? Exchange just one ingot or a candle for it."
He held up the portrait, and it was indeed Qin Liuxi’s face. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ
The ghosts: "I’ll exchange."
"Give me one too."
With Qin Buqiu’s ruthless exorcism and evil suppression, this is far stronger than any other Magic Artifact.
Both the Eastern Ghost King and Kuang Shan, the newly appointed one, had extremely good hearing and caught every word.
The Eastern Ghost King glanced at Qin Liuxi, no wonder on the way here, the shadows of ghosts on both sides of the Yin Road were so terrified of her, it turned out it was because of this.
Kuang Shan: Turns out I was seeking death!
Qin Liuxi also overheard and first glanced at the ear reporting ghost seizing the business opportunity, snorted, and somehow pinched a spell gesture, confronting Kuang Shan face-to-face: "Do you want to taste what Karmic Fire is like? Guarantees a sizzling outer layer with a tender inside, adding some seasonings might make it even more delicious, let me see where should I start burning."
"My lord, please have mercy, my eyes were blinded by pig grease, I didn’t know of your infamous, no, I mean your esteemed reputation," Kuang Shan pleaded in horror, "I’ve been cultivating ghost power in my cave for years, rarely interacting with other ghosts, that’s why I never knew of your existence. It was my mistake for not recognizing the great Mount Tai, I beg you, don’t blame me."
"Oh?"
"Really, I swear, I’ve truly only focused on cultivation." Kuang Shan’s crimson ghost eyes shed tears.
Conscience of heaven and earth, he was genuinely a reclusive old ghost who only knew how to cultivate. Apart from seeking food, he cultivated ghost power, and why? Of course, it was to defeat Zhou Le and rise to the top. Desire brings motivation, so he cultivated day after day, all for the sake of becoming the Ghost King.
Now that he had become one, he was beaten up by an Evil God from the human world.
It would have been better if he had been devoured by Zhou Le; at least he wouldn’t have lost face like now, both on the inside and out.
"Then I’d like to inquire about Zhou Le’s situation."
"Anything you want to know, I will tell, Sir. Would you like to step inside?" Kuang Shan said miserably, his face as swollen as a pig’s head.
Qin Liuxi rubbed her wrists: "If you’re reluctant, I could always use the Soul Search."
Upon hearing this, Kuang Shan felt his soul weaken and wailed, "Sir, if I have even the slightest bit of reluctance, let my soul be scattered to the winds, completely obliterated."
"Alright then." Qin Liuxi stood up and walked forward.
The Eastern Ghost King coughed and glanced at Kuang Shan: "Aren’t you following? What were you up to at the beginning? Just got the position and became arrogant as if you owned the world, none of us Ghost Kings dared to be presumptuous in front of the Sir here, but you, you wouldn’t even respond to summons, not knowing how high the sky or how deep the earth is, forcing the Sir to teach you how to be a ghost. What now? You think you’re something special just because you’re an old ghost of a thousand years? I’ve been around for three thousand!"
"Big brother, can I just call you big brother? Please give me some guidance; you can take anything from this cave, it’s all yours, I’m just a country bumpkin who got carried away upon becoming fortunate. I didn’t mean to disrespect you all. And you, could you please speak up for me?" Kuang Shan clung to his sleeves, saying: "I really am just a thousand-year-old ghost who only knows how to cultivate and doesn’t understand worldly wisdom. Although I am not sly, I also have integrity in my heart."
"Tsk!" The Eastern Ghost King said: "Don’t play cute here. There’s plenty you can learn. Becoming a Ghost King isn’t easy; do you think ruling a territory makes you a prince? Wrong. There are rulers above rulers; not just you, even I might just vanish like Zhou Le."
Kuang Shan’s face changed color several times.
The Eastern Ghost King glanced at his face, noting the look of shock in his eyes without any deceit, and figured Zhou Le’s disappearance had nothing to do with him.
This was bad news; perhaps Zhou Le had indeed been devoured by Si Luo.
Kuang Shan was very frustrated, not even caring about the feast, and personally brought tea and wine to Qin Liuxi and the Eastern Ghost King, then stood by, like a servant.
The burly servant, with his swollen bruised face, looked quite pitiful.
Qin Liuxi neither touched the tea nor wine and got straight to the point: "When was the last time you saw Zhou Le?"
Kuang Shan was startled for a moment, counted on his fingers, and said: "Let me think, the last time was when Ghost Gate was wide open, I had just left to look for food and bumped into him."
The opening of the Ghost Gate is the day when evil ghosts make their escape.
"Did he seem unusual in any way?"
Kuang Shan shook his head. What could be unusual? That day was the Ghost Festival, a night of revelry for Wandering Ghosts, Zhou Le, as usual, waiting for his offerings.
"Think hard," chided the Eastern Ghost King.
Kuang Shan shuddered, saying, "Nothing unusual." Then, after thinking, he added: "However, on the 27th of July, there was a blood moon. I was absorbing Moonlight on a rock in my cave, and I saw Zhou Le hurriedly drift past my cave, heading towards the mountain top."
"You didn’t follow to see what he was up to?" asked the Eastern Ghost King.
Kuang Shan appeared somewhat embarrassed: "Although I am diligent in cultivation, I’m still no match for Zhou Le; how dare I follow him? Besides, it was the day of the blood moon, and the Moonlight was pure and greatly beneficial to my cultivation. Why would I give up my cultivation for him? It wouldn’t be worth it, would it?"
So don’t ask; the answer is that he’s a ghost power cultivation maniac, and nobody can stop his cultivation.
