"Shut up, no one thinks you're mute. Hurry up and burn the painting, do you have a death wish?" As soon as the words fell, Shen Chen shot a fierce glare, immediately silencing the person. They walked straight to the Court lady painting, fumbling around as if dancing to a hot beat.
And just before the person arrived, the painting seemed to come alive. I saw it twisting and the image inside was changing. Faintly, I saw the figure of the Ghost King.
"Boss, it's bad news. Ghost King forcibly extracted Gui Li from the Nine Great Protectors, even their soul roots were taken. Her strength has recovered to the ninth level, I can't suppress her anymore. What should we do, Boss, think of a solution quickly." At this point, Ghost King's face is already half revealed in the painting, scaring Yan Qing who quickly shouts at Shen Chen, while biting his finger and drawing a blood charm in the air, pasting it on the painting.
This painting successfully delayed the time for Ghost King to appear, but it seems that it can't hold on for much longer, otherwise Yan Qing wouldn't be so nervous.
"Light it up, what are you waiting for? Burn this painting, and the temporary Ghost gate will close. She will lose half of her cultivation if she finds another way out, and then you can easily deal with her." After finishing the spell, Shen Chenjian paused for a moment, still feeling around. He immediately stopped the topic, his face dark and angry. I could tell he was furious. Shen Chen slowly stood up, swaying, and was about to charge at the woman. I guessed he wanted to beat her up, but as soon as he stood up, his legs went weak, and he sat back down. I quickly went over to support him, and seeing this, Shen Chen could only sit back helplessly, glaring angrily at the woman and shouting, "Light it, why haven't you lit it yet?"
"Boss, it's not that I don't want to light it, I just can't find the lighter. Otherwise, I would have lit it already." Seeing Shen Chen really angry, the woman shivered and said to me with a pleading look, "Miss Yuan, do you have a lighter? Please lend it to me in this emergency. My lighter suddenly disappeared."
Looking at the increasing number of Ghost King heads, I became anxious. I know how powerful Ghost King is; just a palm strike from him could make me cough up blood. Judging from Shen Chen's appearance just now, he must have truly lost all his Gui Li. He must have used some secret technique to temporarily recover when he saved me before. If Ghost King were to come out now, all of us would die here. I frantically searched around, but found nothing. I don't smoke, so where would I find a lighter or matches? Besides, we use electric ignition for cooking, so we don't need a lighter at all.
Looking at the Ghost King in this painting, it's just as I suspected. Ghost King looked at me anxiously searching for a lighter and sneered, " Hades, I didn't expect to see you like this. Aren't you a loyal dog of Dark Lord? Where is Dark Lord? Has he turned into a coward and run away? I never thought that our great and wise Dark Lord would also run away, leaving behind his most capable subordinates. This is the funniest joke I've heard all year, haha..."
"Ghost King, don't get too cocky. Judging by your appearance, it seems like you've just recovered from a serious injury. I wonder who could have beaten you up like this. You have the nerve to be proud of yourself? I've never seen a ghost king with such a big face before, and it's a female ghost at that," Yanqing's mouth didn't hold back, and her eyes looked at me again, with a meaningful expression.
"No, I don't have it either. I don't smoke, so why would I have a lighter?" I was also anxious, but judging by the speed at which Ghost King was coming out, it didn't seem fast. She couldn't just come out as soon as she said it. It looked like it would take about two minutes for her to come out. Even with a two-minute buffer, it would only be enough for me to run out of Mrs. Shen's courtyard.
Mrs. Shen particularly enjoys it. The yard is quite large, and I need to run for about a minute to reach the gate and ask for help from the servant. The yard has been temporarily taken over by Shen Chen, and he is using a secret method that can drive away the servants. So, if I want to see anyone from the Shen Family, the servant must leave the yard.
What should I do? I start searching the living room for anything that could start a fire. First, I find a box of women's cigarettes on the coffee table, which excites me. This box should belong to Mrs. Shen. However, my excitement is not about who smoked the cigarettes, but rather my instinctive belief that where there's smoke, there's fire.
So I took a big step forward, opened the cigarette box and looked inside. Damn, I started crying right then and there. Not only was there no lighter, there wasn't even a cigarette. It was just an empty box. Looking at the gold foil inside the cigarette box, a sudden idea flashed through my mind. It seemed like I had seen somewhere that you could start a fire by pressing foil against the ends of a battery. Seeing a TV in the room and knowing that Mrs. Shen was a very controlling person, she would definitely adjust the channels herself. She couldn't be too close to the TV, so there must be a remote control. I quickly started looking for the remote control.
Luckily, the remote control was also placed in plain sight, right under the coffee table. I quickly opened the remote control, praying in my heart that it was a size 5 battery, not a size 7, because I heard that size 7 batteries wouldn't start a fire. It seemed like my prayers worked, as when I opened it up, it was indeed a size 5 battery.
Excitedly pulling out the aluminum foil from the cigarette box, quickly tearing it into a strip with wide ends and a narrow middle, then rushing to Yanqing's side and calling out excitedly, "Fire, fire is here..."
"Is this... is this fire? Why didn't I see it burning?" Yanqing asked me with a puzzled expression, as if a crow had just flown over his head.
"Do not believe it, then it's time to witness the miracle, but this may also have a time of failure." Speaking of this, I smiled awkwardly and quickly said again, "But we still have a battery. Yanqing, you go and make another one like me, in case I fail. If I don't ignite, you follow my example and try to burn this thing before Ghost King comes out."
"Okay, no problem." As soon as I finished speaking, Yanqing immediately completed the task I assigned, which instantly surprised me and made my mouth drop open. Indeed, the speed of the Ghost King is not something I can compare to.
The emotional words over here are fine, but the blood talisman is about to fall off, I hurriedly connected the ends of the fifth battery with golden tin foil. The narrowest piece of tin foil in the middle started to smoke, and I was delighted - I had succeeded halfway.
As long as a visible flame appears, I will have succeeded, and the lives of the three of us will be saved. At this moment, my heart is in my throat, and I pray again. Fortunately, I succeeded in luckiness once again. Watching the small flame flicker, I hurried to bring it close to the painting, but before I could act, Yanqing took the initiative to help. He carefully wrapped the flame with Gui Li, then lit the painting. Under the terrified gaze of the Ghost King, with Yanqing's help, the painting instantly burned away, leaving only a pile of ashes.
Looking at the pile of ashes on the ground, the three of us finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if we had survived a disaster. However, Shen Chen's gaze at me seemed a bit strange, as if he couldn't believe I had come up with such a good idea. Did he think I should always look foolish in his eyes? I instantly felt annoyed again.
But considering his weak condition, and perhaps because he had saved me, I decided to let him off for now. So I turned my attention to Yanqing, because he had also looked at me with that kind of expression. I teased, "Yanqing, aren't you the Ghost King? How come you can't even conjure up a fire? No wonder you can't even suppress the Ghost King."
"Miss Yuan, you are not aware of this. I can use Gui Li to create fire, but the fire I create is composed of Gui Li. What is Gui Li? It is condensed Yin energy. The painting requires the earthly fire of Yang energy to burn it. Otherwise, I would not be destroying the temporary door from the netherworld, but rather prolonging its existence. In that case, Ghost King would probably appear before us immediately. I was injured in an accident earlier and am temporarily not her match. Otherwise, with Ghost King's limited Gui Li, This King wouldn't even bother. " At the end, Yan Qing immediately put on a look of being the best in the world, making me almost laugh out loud.
Shen Chen was also amused by this and nodded, "Yan Qing is right. To burn this thing, we need the earthly fire of Yang energy for the temporary passage or door between the two realms."
"Why didn't you prepare a bright fire before you came? You should have anticipated this situation. Moreover, both of you are highly intelligent masters, one being the Ghost King and the other the Dark Lord. You wouldn't make such a low-level mistake," I asked again in confusion. Since Yanqing and Shen Chen could use secret techniques here, they must have considered the consequences.
"Of course we were prepared, but your situation was urgent and dangerous. If you were held by the Ghost King, trying to save you later might have only resulted in saving a corpse. Don't assume that two women can't practice dual cultivation. Let me tell you, anything is possible. Two women practicing dual cultivation is terrifying. It only stops when one woman sucks the other dry. So, my boss and I hurried, and we might have left you behind," Yanqing said confidently.
When it comes to love, I am speechless. Not only that, I also want to express my gratitude to Love and Shen Chen, smiling and saying, "So that's how it is. Thank you, Lawyer Yan, and Mr. Chen. I was just curious earlier, please don't be angry."
"Whether we get angry or not depends on your performance, right, boss?" Love said, immediately putting on a triumphant expression and winking at Shen Chen.
"Are you feeling itchy again? Get lost, quickly disappear from Master's sight, or else..." Shen Chen didn't follow through with his threatening words, but instead narrowed his eyes dangerously and coldly snorted at Yan Qing.
Although Shen Chen was currently as weak as a sick cat, his influence was long-lasting. Yan Qing indeed had the look of a mouse meeting a cat, and obediently said, "Yes, boss, I'll leave right away." With that, he really rolled on the ground and rolled away.
Smiling and watching the lively romantic scene roll away, I walked up to Shen Chen, intending to pat his back and rub his legs. After all, Shen Chen had become like this all for my sake, and I am a conscientious girl.
"Woman, can Master consider this as a performance from you?" My hand had just touched Shen Chen's shoulder when he unexpectedly said this, leaving me speechless.
