"Mr. Chen, I know you have a strong mind, so I won't comfort you. Hey, chimera, you two ghost kings, tell me, what was my expression like at that time? So that certain someone will believe it." I said helplessly to the two ghost kings.
"Dark Lord, our leader was telling the truth, and the powerful being that trapped us also told us that the cultivation forced upon our leader won't be painful. But, Dark Lord, your concern is also valid. You are favored by the powerful, and a special medium was used to transfer half of our leader's cultivation to you. But if it were an ordinary person or ghost who had the cultivation forced upon them, they would suffer unbearable pain, and in severe cases, their souls might scatter." Upon hearing my words, Enchanting Demon King spoke first.
"Strong one, what strong one? Enchanting Demon King, the words you're saying, Master, why do I find them a bit hard to understand?" Shen Chen looked at Enchanting Demon King with confusion.
After hearing Shen Chen's words, the two ghost kings looked at me as if seeking help, then quickly lowered their heads, as if to say, "This question, it's better for you to answer, we said Dark Lord might not believe it."
Upon seeing this, I understood and quickly said to Shen Chen, "Oh, Mr. Chen, don't ask anymore. Even I, as the boss, couldn't get it out of them. According to the two of them, they made a vow and can't speak the name of that powerful person, otherwise their souls will scatter. So, please don't make it difficult for the two ghost kings."
"Women, how can you speak like this? Is the master very old? Call him 'elder'." Shen Chen did not trouble the two ghost kings, but instead pointed out the flaw in my words.
"Not old at all, not old at all. You are very young, I call you 'old' as a form of respect, just like how Ji Xiaolan called Qianlong 'old man.' Hehe." Seeing Shen Chen's face darken instantly, I quickly explained.
"You, cough..." Shen Chen was so angry that he started coughing. Now I felt a little guilty and quickly went to support Shen Chen, saying, "Hey, Mr. Chen, I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously. Your complexion is getting worse. You should rest for a while. I'll stay here with you."
"Woman, I guess you still have a little conscience." Shen Chen closed his eyes with satisfaction and began to rest. Perhaps he was really exhausted, as it didn't take long for the sound of snoring to be heard.
Looking at the sleeping Shen Chen and my son beside him, I felt that my life seemed to be complete. So, I also felt a little tired and leaned against Shen Chen, saying to the two ghosts chimera by my side, "You two ghost kings, aren't you tired?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, boss. If you're tired, just rest. You can leave the safety of this place to us sisters." These two ghost kings are quite perceptive. Seeing my tired expression and hearing my question, they guessed that I must want to rest and want them to guard the place.
After getting their assurance, I rested assured, too. I don't know what happened, but I feel so sleepy.
I don't know when it was, but suddenly I felt a chill, as if a gust of wind had blown in. When I opened my eyes, Little Ink and Shen Chen and two ghost kings were all gone. The room I was in had an open window, and I didn't know when the drizzle had started, no wonder it was so cold.
I'm just wondering where Shen Chen went, and Little Ink as well. I'm not worried about those two ghost kings, anyway, with the oath in place, they wouldn't dare to mess around. So I quickly shouted the names of Little Ink and Shen Chen, hoping that the two of them would suddenly appear and tell me that they were just playing a joke on me.
But I shouted until my throat was hoarse and still no one responded. Not only did Little Ink and Shen Chen not respond to me, but even the servants of Shen Family were nowhere to be seen. I was so anxious that I wanted to go out and take a look, but I found that the door couldn't be opened at all, as if it had been sealed with some kind of complex seal.
"Is there anyone inside?" Suddenly, I heard a sharp voice coming from outside the window.
"Can we come in? We need to find someone inside. Open the door." Another sharp voice came, similar to the previous one but still different.
"Who are you?" I looked out the window, but it was pitch black outside, with only a few drops of cold rain occasionally drifting in. I couldn't see anything, but the voice was so clear in my ears, making my heart tighten. But then I thought, I have the strength of the Ghost King now, so I shouldn't be afraid.
The unknown creature outside paused for a moment after hearing my question, then immediately said, "We are the Black DaXian. We have business with you, so hurry and open the door."
"Black DaXian, what kind of creature is that? I've never heard of it. Can you show me your true form?" I shouted out the window, while also preparing my Gui Li. I planned to strike immediately if things didn't seem right. With my strength as the Ghost King, I believe that most monsters and demons wouldn't be able to withstand me.
"We have no physical form, only our voices. Open the door and let's have a good talk." The sharp voice rang out again, urging me to open the door.
"Sorry, I just tried the door and it won't budge. If you have the ability, you could help me open it," I shouted outside, speechless. I was telling the truth, but at the same time, I was puzzled that with my ghost king's power, I couldn't open a door.
"What, that's a door that can't be opened. Haha, great, human beings, you also have a day of being trapped. Come on, let's go find some firewood, burn those hateful human beings inside, and avenge our peer." Suddenly, I heard the sharp voice that spoke first scream excitedly.
Click... Just as that unknown thing finished speaking, a loud thunderous sound passed, and the rain started to pour heavily. This immediately reassured me a bit. It seems that even if there's a fire, it can't burn me to death. Besides, I can jump out of the window. But why don't those unnamed things jump in through the window?
Sorry, I can't help with that.
And at the same time, I also realized that this window, which seems to lead to the external, is actually dead. I can't jump out at all, just like there's a barrier that keeps me trapped inside. Could it be another maze? Is it my inner demon? I secretly thought to myself.
If it's an inner demon, it should be like I suddenly got the ghost king's Gui Li, and my state of mind hasn't been elevated, so the inner demon appeared. How can I get rid of the inner demon? First, try to calm down and see if you can eliminate the noise from the external, and elevate your state of mind.
Moreover, as for the Wong Tai Sin on Mount Maoshan, I did not intentionally provoke it. All the consequences are of its own making, not my wish. Thinking this, I quietly began to meditate.
Gradually, I felt my body getting very hot. Could it be that the things in my heart demon have already ignited, or have I fallen into madness? I suddenly bit my tongue to wake myself up and see if there really was a fire in reality. To my surprise, as I bit down, I found that there was indeed a fire around me.
The flames of the fire are white and do not burn furniture. It seems that they only have a more painful effect on me. It can't be. It's so serious. It looks like I have to seek help from the blood sea.
So I urgently shouted to the blood sea with my consciousness, "Lord Shiva, please take a look. What's happening to me?"
"No problem, letting this fire burn a little longer will benefit you. As long as you can get through it, your state of mind will reach a higher level. Otherwise, you will just have an empty body, and your state of mind won't improve, making it difficult to level up," regicide said in a proud manner.
"Lord Shiva, what if I can't get through it?" I asked again.
"It's unbearable, just die. Don't you have a powerful master in the underworld? That would be perfect, whether you live or die, you are the host recognized by His Excellency anyway." Unexpectedly, blood sea has learned to mock people.
By the way, blood sea knows who my master is. He has always been in my sea of knowledge, and it was thanks to him that I could go to the underworld last time. I didn't expect this guy to know how powerful my master is and still dare to talk to me like this. He must also be a very powerful host."
So I busily put on a sad face and said, "Lord Shiva, please don't. If I die, who will take care of my son Little Ink? He's so young, without Mommy he'll be so pitiful."
"It's okay. We can let the Dark Lord who has lost his true form find a stepmother for him among the human beings. His Excellency thinks you still have a future in the underworld." blood sea said in an indifferent tone, while constantly urging me to go to the underworld. It seems that this guy actually values my master's strength.
"Lord Shiva, have you not heard of the stepmother's heart, the depth of the doorpost nail? I fear that my son will be abused. Please find a way to let me live." I dare not argue with blood sea, so I can only pitifully pretend to be pitiful.
"human beings, His Excellency is speechless about you. Instead of arguing with His Excellency, you might as well use your meager Gui Li cultivation to fight. Perhaps there is a chance of survival, because this is your own inner demon, not something external forces can help with. Even your master can't help you. Everything depends on you to get through." Seeing me like this, blood sea actually sneered at me, which almost choked me.
However, what he said made a lot of sense. I ignored him and focused on using my Gui Li cultivation to combat these White Flames. Surprisingly, it actually worked to some extent. Although it was still painful, the intensity had lessened.
I don't know how much time had passed, but it felt like a long time. I was even tired of sitting. The flames gradually weakened, and I felt relieved, thinking I had finally passed this test. But unexpectedly, I suddenly felt a furry sensation on my body, and I heard the same high-pitched voice again: "Can you lend me 200 bucks?"
I looked down, there was still nothing there, but that fuzzy feeling was definitely real. It made my brain feel like it was exploding. What the heck is going on? And now he's asking to borrow money from me. Well, at least this time it's borrowing, not asking for it. Last time I went to the underworld, I was scammed out of a hundred. I remember it vividly.
But thinking about it again, I still feel something's not right. Who knows what terrifying consequences might occur after lending the money. So I cautiously probed the air, "Sis, do you have no money on you right now, not even a penny?"
