The Wife of a Ghost - C284
The palace looked huge from the outside, but it was actually very spacious inside. There was nothing inside except for a stone pillar that was half the size of a man. At the top of the stone pillar was a palm-sized, red colored little qilin seal.
This was what Zi Sang Blazing had risked thousands of lives to snatch away. This was what had plunged the entire world and the entire underworld into a bloody mess. This was also what could save countless people’s names.
Indeed, where there are people, there is desire. Whether it is power or strength, as long as it is something that can be represented by this seal, then it is something that everyone greedily desires.
It’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s just that I’m waiting for Ye Qianqian at the platform at the entrance of the Ghost Seal Palace. There seems to be an invisible barrier around the inside of the palace, not the Underworld King or the King’s Robe, even if we have the God’s throne and the ghost flowers, we can only stand at the entrance and watch.
Zi Sang Ming arrived beside the stone pillar and didn’t immediately remove the seal. Instead, he used his palm as a knife and sliced through the palm of his other hand. Thick blood instantly flowed out from his palm. He raised his palm and placed it on the Ghost Seal.
The red light of the Ghost Seal was originally shiny like jade, but after being stained by Sang Ming’s blood, it instantly emitted a chilling aura, as if there were thousands of soldiers and horses galloping through this empty space. Soon after, a red light exploded, and a figure gradually appeared beside the stone pillar that was originally empty.
Pluto?
My heart tightened. Could it be that the reason the old King of Hell appeared next to the Ghost Seal was because Zishan Ming had yet to pass any tests? Could it be that he had to accept any punishment?
Fortunately, although the barrier prevented us from entering the Ghost Seal Palace, it didn’t affect the sound coming from inside. I could still hear the conversation between the two of them.
The old Nether King looked at Zishan Ming solemnly and said, “Blazing, in the end, I still haven’t been able to get past the inner demons.”
Zishan Ming slightly lowered his head and did not reply. However, since he was able to stand before the Ghost Seal and summoned the old Pluto with his own blood, it was clear what had happened. The old Nether King sighed and was slightly disappointed, but he was not surprised by Zishan Ming’s appearance. He gave a brief explanation on the necessary things to ascend the throne. There was also something similar to the plot in the ancient costume dramas. Other than caring for the people and maintaining peace in the Six Realms, there was nothing else. At this moment, Zishan Ming suddenly turned his head to look at me and waved his hand. The barrier in front of me opened up and before I could react, I had already floated to Zishan Ming’s side from the ground.
Zi Sang Ming took my hand and bowed to the old Pluto.
“Father,” he said, “your son and I are willing to marry and die together.”
Why did he suddenly stop me from saying those words? Didn’t old Pluto already know about our relationship?
After that, he let out a sigh and placed the realisation onto Zi Sang Ming, “You are already the lord of the underworld, I have no right to interfere in what you should do. But as a Royal, the peace and stability of the underworld is what you should care about.”
Zi Sang Ming nodded, “This son understands.”
The old Pluto disappeared and the Ghost Seal returned back to its previous warm state under Zishan Ming’s hands. I looked at him in a daze, but I still didn’t understand what they meant.
I know that I want to go through a test or even a challenge in the underworld, but what they just said is clearly more serious than I thought. Is there anything Zishan Ming is hiding from me?
“Let’s untie your mother’s body first.” As Zishan Ming said that, he placed the Ghost Seal on my hand. I jumped in shock and quickly retracted my hand.
“How can I casually take this!”
Zi Sang Ming frowned, “Why not? This king not only wants you to have it, but also wants it to recognize you as its master.”
Just now, Zhao Xue took the blood from my fingertip and left a small wound on my finger. Zi Sang Ming accurately found that wound and squeezed lightly. Another drop of blood was big to the point that it was about the size of a water droplet.
On the surface of the seal was written the words “Ghost King Supreme”. My blood dripped from the top of the word “Ghost” before flowing along the groove like a small stream. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the last point of the word “Honored Warrior”.
“Acknowledged … acknowledged master?” I was stunned, and when I looked at Zi Sang Ming again, I was even more shocked. This high and mighty king actually lifted up his clothes and knelt down towards me after receiving the Ghost Seal. My hand was still in his palm.
“Yan Nuo.”
My mind went blank and I gave a stiff grunt.
Zi Sang Ming continued saying, “I promised you that once I get the Ghost Seal, I’ll grant you a big wedding. Now that I’ve gotten the Ghost Seal, I’ll ask you one more time, are you willing to marry me? Become the Lord of the Netherworld alongside me. You will be in charge of the Samsara of the Six Realms for thousands of years. ”
I thought he was going to give me a more grand ceremony when he said he was going to give me a second wedding, but I didn’t expect him to propose again with such a great ceremony.
“Yan Nuo, are you willing?”
I didn’t answer for a long time. Zi Sang Ming asked again. His voice was so low that it sounded like he was begging.
I really do have the ability to make you love me so much.
“I do.” I don’t want anything anymore. I only want this person who loves me like his life, I only want Sang Ming.
She threw herself into his arms. The tears that had just flowed out of her eyes didn’t come again. They only reddened again and again, causing her heart to throb.
“Don’t cry anymore, saving him is more important.” I completely forgot that I was still in the Ghost Seal Palace as Zi Sang Ming lightly tapped on my forehead and pulled me out.
I rubbed my eyes to hide my embarrassment. “Are we going back the way we came?”
Ye Qianqian laughed at me, “Little Mistress, His Highness has already obtained the Ghost Seal, we don’t need to go back the way we came from.”
Zi Sang Ming lifted the Ghost Seal into the air, and with one hand, he held me tightly in his embrace.
The huge space of the Ghost Seal Palace seemed to be swept into a tornado and everything in front of us began to twist and distort. But in the blink of an eye, the mountain sized palace disappeared and we finally emerged from the boundless darkness — into the water.
I’ve eaten Water Repelling Pearl before, so it’s not a problem for me to sink into the water now. But Ye Qianqian didn’t and he’s still a mortal.
Zi Sang Ming pulled me and I pulled Ye Qianqian along, drawing a straight line in the water and jumping out.
The entrance to the mirror in the school hall, which was originally connected to the Underworld, was actually in the lake where Zhao Xue’s corpse was last found. Perhaps it was because it was touching, but when they were falling down by the lake, they suddenly recalled the first time they saw Zhao Xue, her dirty corpse was lying in a coffin sealed with mud.
Don’t worry, I’ll definitely avenge you and take back the book. I definitely won’t let you sacrifice yourself for nothing.
Fortunately, we appeared at night and no one around the school saw us. Otherwise, if we flew out of the water like this, we would probably be on the headlines the next day.
It’s easy for her to get sick if she continues to follow us. We sent her to the entrance of Shen Tuo’s police station, and then flew to the monastery in a cloud.
I looked at the date. Luckily, we spent a total of three days in the underworld, so there are still a few days until the Skeleton Muse’s attack. My mother lay quietly on the couch, and my father had been exhausted over the past few days. He had lost a lot of weight, and now he was sitting in a collapsed chair, sleeping.
Zishan Ming stretched out his hand and opened up a barrier beside his father to block out sound. He said to me, “I’m here to treat the poison. Don’t go near it.”
“Mom, don’t worry, your poison will be cured soon.” I took Zi Sang Ming’s hand and let him stand by my side, “No matter what happens later, don’t be afraid. This is Zi Sang Ming, he will protect you, and he is your son-in-law, your grandson’s father. Un, it’s better to say this first, I’ll introduce you later when you’re better.”
I retreated to my father’s side and watched as Zi Sang Ming took out the Ghost Seal. I tapped the Qilin’s eyes and corners three times with my sword, and the Ghost Seal suddenly glowed with a red light. Zi Sang Ming placed the Ghost Seal three inches above his mother’s head and the Ghost Seal hovered in the air.
Under the illumination of red light, a faint shadow gradually pulled out from my mother’s head. It was still alive, and the red light was like a pair of hands pulling out that thing, and that thing was trying its best to drill into it. Under the light of red light, a faint shadow gradually pulled out from my mother’s head.
I saw that thing land on the ground and didn’t have the mood to look at it closely. I only knew that it caused my mother to sleep for so many days and almost lose her life.
Zi Sang Ming put the Ghost Seal away and stood up straight. His brows relaxed as he said, “I’ve solved it.”
Before we left, my mother wasn’t the only one who was poisoned by the corpse charmingly, many people were also infected by the poison. I quickly asked Zishan Ming: “Then should we go to other places to continue detoxifying?”
Zishan Ming pointed at my eyebrows and said, “No need, once the corpse poison is activated, the Ghost Seal has already extracted all of the poison from my body. The other people’s poison has been cured.” After a pause, he grabbed my hand and lowered his voice, “The next step is to ascend to the throne of the Nether King Hall and announce to the entire Nether Realm that the biggest banquet is to be held.”
