The Ghost King’s Affection: Shedding Tears for His Beloved (Chapter 18)

Hua Mi had been unconscious for a long time, and by the time she woke up, more than a month had passed.

During that month, many things had transpired.

Cheng Yi’s sect was wiped out overnight by the Ghost King, causing immense upheaval in the Celestial Masters' realm.

Other Celestial Masters could not fathom why a Ghost King, who had never deliberately disturbed the mortal world before, would suddenly break the balance and even open the Gates of Hell, plunging humanity into misery.

The Celestial Masters’ realm was not without...

Suddenly, a chilling wail surged from all directions, overwhelming and terrifying. The sound was bone-chilling. I looked around, but saw nothing, and then the crying abruptly ceased.

“Your village chief?” Huang Qianqian was stunned, finding it unbelievable. Huang Qianqian knew Zhu Dashan—a rough man. How could he have the ability to snatch things from Chen Zailai and lead the villagers to seize them directly? That was impossible!

Only vague fragments of conversation could be heard, and the meaning behind the statements was completely inscrutable.

“You should be glad. At least in three months, I might have a chance to help you seek revenge,” Zheng Yubai said.

Madam Gu opened the wicker box. Inside were only ordinary items like mirrors, combs, and silk handkerchiefs. Only then did she realize how simple Gu Xiyan’s daily life had been. It seemed she could leave at a moment’s notice with only a little preparation.

It was daytime now; I couldn’t possibly ride the Azure Dragon back. But I also couldn’t use the Flowing Light Retracing technique to assist me. What else could I still use?

However, this went against Han Yunfan’s original intention. To prosper in rural areas, the foremost factor was to have reliable and loyal people. Without trustworthy and loyal individuals, everything was empty talk.

Seeing this, I hurried forward and shouted at Wei Zhu. Upon spotting me, they quickly ran over. Seeing them safe and sound, I was overwhelmed with emotion.

“What? Are those spoiled rich boys going to attack Zhang Xiaoxiao personally?” Han Yunfan grew uneasy. If anything happened to Zhang Xiaoxiao, who would repair his house?

Shen Muqing’s face flushed slightly as she explained matters to everyone, but they still didn’t quite understand. Shen Muqing then had the pair of bronze figures brought in for demonstration.

As long as he could prove he was right, those alchemists would be nothing but worthless idlers, and he would no longer have to fear them.

A wave of warmth surged in Su Yiqiu’s heart, and she was even moved—after all, there were still people willing to befriend her. However, those who befriended her never gained anything good from it.

With that thought, Zhou Ming saw through it clearly. This was the other party’s show of force, but it was also his chance to flex his own muscles.

“In research, including history, I remain the person in charge,” Zuo Lan said, pointing to herself.

“It’s okay, it’s okay... I understand, I understand. You don’t have to mind!” Su Yaoyao was quite polite, her personality completely different from her mother’s.

The oil-painted carriage stood still, two horses snorting in confusion, as if nothing had happened.

Qin Shengxing’s gaze was resolute, his tone steady without the slightest fluctuation, as if speaking of something utterly trivial—completely indifferent, never once blinking throughout.

“Uh... thank you?” Yin Linlang was taken aback. Though she didn’t refuse, she had no idea that Su Mo was declaring his claim.

Normally, the Shadow Spirit Clan would parasitize a host body, but this method was clearly not favored by Wang Wei.

Tch, deliberately so. What you mentioned was the Four Saints’ directions, but what I’m referring to is based on data from people, villages, and other factors.

Blindly challenging Saffron only proves that one’s brain has gone soft. In the Fire Elemental Plane, Saffron can unleash two hundred percent of his power, but even if that power were reduced to one percent, Wang Wei did not consider himself a match for him.
