The Fox Comes from Outer World - C336
Could this person be a ghost car?
Under the influence of the Demon Subduing Formation, my eyes were suddenly unable to clearly see the scenery before me. Qing Ling took hold of my hand and transferred mana into my body to treat me. As the unique Changing Spring Wind Heart Technique of the Evergreen Sect slowly entered my body, I was even more certain that the Qing Ling in front of me was the same as the Qing Ling from the White World. Though he doesn’t seem to remember me. I was in a good mood, and the joy of recovering from the loss filled my heart, so I let bygones be bygones.
After a while, I was finally able to see everything clearly. I noticed that the magic power of the Demon Subduing Formation had disappeared and the ghost carriage had been captured. It was tied to a withered tree in the courtyard by Qing Ling.
Young Master Xiao laid at his feet. He was still unconscious, but he did not know that his beloved carriage had already been caught.
The ghost car was dressed in a magnificent suit of gold and red, the color of his feathers the same; his large subordinates were more than three feet long, with luxurious jewels on them, and their dark blue phoenix eyes were slanted upward, their eyes sharp and defiant.
Fortunately, he didn’t have eight heads and eight necks, and the human form he conjured was actually a handsome young man! I couldn’t help but feel relieved for Young Master Xiao.
The ghost car lowered its head to look at Young Master Xiao, its gaze filled with love. Were these two really intimate? I watched happily in my heart. A gentleman has the beauty of adulthood, and seeing two handsome young men enjoying each other, this was a very happy thing.
Thinking this way, I asked, “Are you a ghost car? You really like Young Master Xiao, right? ”
The ghost car’s thick eyebrows slanted as it stared at me with its dark green phoenix eyes. “Stinky fox, what nonsense are you spouting?!”
“Don’t you like him?” I pointed to the young man on the ground. Although he was unconscious, Young Master Xiao was still tightly holding onto one of the legs of the ghost car.
I added, “Look how much he likes you. Even when he’s unconscious, he still wouldn’t let go of you.” I heard that you came from the north this time to look for him. If you didn’t have feelings for Young Master Xiao, how could you willingly submit to the prison of a merchant? There must be a reason why you can be so proud, right? Your difficulties, could it be, were not because of Young Master Xiao? ”
The ghost car coldly snorted, “I came to find him to ask for a favor. This is all because I was caught by you two before I could finish what I wanted to do. My Ghost Cart is not as skilled as you guys today, and I lost to your hands. Since I was captured, I naturally have to admit defeat. However, Young Master Xiao did not have a deep relationship with me and I was the one who was involved with everything. Don’t make things difficult for him. ”
He put on a cold expression and even wanted to disdainfully pull his feet out of Young Master Xiao’s arms, as if he wanted to sever all relations with Young Master Xiao. But even though Young Master Xiao was unconscious, he still held onto the items within his embrace with all his might, and even rubbed against them. Thus, one of the legs of the ghost car was still tightly hugged by him, as though he was holding a precious treasure.
Young Master Xiao muttered: “Let go of my carriage …”
I didn’t think that Young Master Xiao would actually treat the legs of the ghost car as mine while I was unconscious. He probably thought that if he hugged my feet, Qing Ling would let the ghost car go, right? Such infatuation!
“Tsk tsk”, I sighed a few times, causing the ghost carriage’s face to immediately turn red. He raised his leg to kick Young Master Xiao away, but was unable to do so in the end. Thus, he could only gently stand on the spot, allowing Young Master Xiao to tightly hug him.
Qing Ling stepped forward and asked, “Ghost Cart, do you recognize High Immortal Bai Ze from the Snowy Region of the North?”
The expression on the ghost car’s face changed as it looked at Qing Ling in shock. Then, it angrily turned its head and said, “I don’t know him.”
Qing Ling and I exchanged a glance. The expression of the ghost carriage was obviously due to the fact that it had been guessed at, but it refused to admit it. He was indeed the mount of Supreme Celestial Bai Ze, right? However, why had he left the White Swamp of Immortal and come to Mount Everlasting?
Qing Ling asked again, “The wound on your neck is bleeding profusely. What’s going on?”
He pointed at the ghost carriage’s neck. When I looked closely, I discovered that there was indeed a wound bleeding on the neck of the ghost carriage, which was located between its left shoulder and the neck. Previously, due to the fact that his clothes were too mottled in color, I didn’t manage to see it clearly.
“Is it a wound caused by the God Slaying Blade? It should be very painful, right? ” I asked.
The expression on the ghost car’s face became even more unsightly. It simply turned its face away from us. However, when he saw Young Master Xiao who was sprawled on the ground, his gaze turned warm and he said in a low voice: “My matter has nothing to do with you guys, and even more so has nothing to do with him. Let him go. ”
Ling Yun nodded: “If Young Master Xiao hadn’t done anything wrong, we naturally wouldn’t have made things difficult for him. But we have some things we want to ask you, can you cooperate with us in answering them? ”
The ghost car coldly snorted.
Qing Ling asked: “Half a year ago, the southern mountain was very lively and prosperous, but now, this area has become incomparably desolate. I suspect that this was caused by some demon. What do you think of this matter? ”
The ghost car answered without thinking, “How would I know? I’ve also just arrived here not long ago. ”
Qing Ling then asked, “Two months ago, there was a tragic incident in the Xiao Clan’s town. Three families in the village died in one night, resulting in a total of twenty-seven deaths. Later on, when I checked the official file, I found that those people died in much the same way, as if their souls had been sucked out of them by demons. What does this have to do with you? ”
The ghost car replied, “I don’t know about that either. “Why do you keep asking me? I’ve been told that I just arrived here not long ago.”
Qing Ling said, “Even though you just arrived, you have already stayed in the mountain for about two months, right? Even if what happened six months ago had nothing to do with you, what about the tragedy two months ago? Your wound on your neck was probably caused by the God Slaying Blade. I once heard that the Snowy Region Mountain in the north has a Rogue Immortal named Bai Ze, who raises a Nine-Headed Bird as his mount. The Nine-headed Bird was a vicious bird that loved to absorb the souls of people. Only after it ascended with the immortal did it get rid of this bad habit. However, if this Nine-headed Bird was injured and one of its heads was cut off, would it need to absorb a large amount of living souls to heal after falling into the human world? Ghost Cart, look at your own wounds, do you still dare to say that all of this has nothing to do with you? ”
Facing Qing Ling’s question, the ghost car’s face turned red and white, white and red, but it didn’t respond back.
Qing Ling then said, “If my guess is correct, you must be the nine-headed bird that Supreme Celestial Bai Ze kept! The twenty-seven people who died in this town should also have been killed by you. However, you are clearly an immortal. Why did you come to the human world to do evil? Also, what is your purpose for scheming to get close to Young Master Xiao? You said that you wanted to ask for his help.
Although Qing Ling’s words had struck a chord in the ghost car, it still remained stubborn. “Even if you guessed right, why should I come to the human world? I sought Young Master Xiao’s help, what does that have to do with you? If you have the guts, then kill me!
I was stunned. It seems that this ghost car is really like a person with such a prideful appearance. But right now, he only wanted to die quickly, but was unwilling to explain his reason for coming to this world. For a person who wasn’t even afraid of death, what other way could he do to frighten him?
