Your Highness, the Empress Runs Away Again - C231 Is the enemy
There was a saying that was called ‘enemies have a narrow path’. This saying could not be any more suitable for the bodies of Yun Luo and Xu Guoliang.
From the moment the virtual light arrived at Ghostly Wife Town, Yun Luo had already smelled the copper stench on his body.
No matter if it was a good or bad fate, Yun Luo still invited him into the inn to chat.
“Daoist Priest, you are truly omnipresent. You have come here for the sake of capturing me?”
Xu Guang shook his head, “No, no, no. This Penniless Priest came because of someone else’s request to capture ghosts.”
“Catch ghosts?” Yun Luo thought about it, the ghost that caused the most trouble here was the red tassel, was he here to catch it?
“Judging from your tone, you know that ghost?” Xu Guoliang sipped a mouthful of tea as if he had already made up his mind.
Nangong Yu sneered, “She’s more than just acquainted with him, she’s even messing with him like a ghost.”
It was love and possession, yet the red tassel still believed her. However, this also proved that the fox spirit was clever and cunning.
Yun Luo pouted at Nangong Yu, “When did I mess with her? Don’t hurt my reputation.”
In order to save her, she could not bear to see her red tassel fall. It was purely out of kindness.
Xu Guang stroked his beard. “Then, do you want to go public or do you want to settle it privately?”
If it was the public, Yun Luo would not interfere and would allow the Taoist to catch ghosts to his heart’s content. If it was the private, he would spend his money to end the disaster and continue his old style.
Yun Luo rolled her eyes. This repulsive Taoist’s magic was above her own. If she were to use it on herself, then her own loss would be the smallest. However, she couldn’t let him take the red tassel for nothing.
“Just tell me how much you want.” This was a rather domineering sentence.
“This ghost already has thirty years of mana, so it’s a little complicated to deal with, so it’s a little expensive. Five thousand taels.”
“What?” Five thousand silver taels? “Why don’t you just rob them?” Yun Luo gritted her teeth. Every time, she would ask for an exorbitant price. She really didn’t understand why he wanted so much money, and why she couldn’t get married and have children.
Besides, as a Taoist, was it really good to be greedy?
Nangong Yu coldly laughed as he interjected, “He’s already robbed many times, and the targets are all you.”
That sentence woke Yun Luo up. That’s right, why did it feel like wherever she went, this virtual light would receive the demon? However, the excuse this time was a bit new.
“This humble Taoist is the same to everyone and not just to her,” Xu Guoliang justified himself.
“You think I would believe you?” Yun Luo threw a contemptuous look at the virtual light, “Think back for yourself, how much did you rob from me? Besides, how can you be so sure that I’ll do as you say this time? I am not related to that ghost girl, what right do I have to help her? ”
“Alright, since the little fox is not interfering, then this humble one will go and catch the ghost and take the Du Family’s silver. In any case, this humble one will have the silver to earn, so this trip will not be in vain.” Xu Guang stood up and left.
Yun Luo quickly stopped him, “Don’t be like this. We’ve worked together so many times, can you be a bit cheaper?”
There was really no helping it, although the husband and wife had a respectable status, the amount of silver they brought was really not much.
After this bloody lesson, Yun Luo decided that she could take anything with her when she went out in the future. However, she had to take this silver. After all, the chances of meeting a greedy Daoist like Xu Guang were too high.
Xu Guoliang lowered his eyes in thought. “Alright then. Three thousand taels of silver is enough to give you face.”
He might even have the chance to work together in the future. After all, there was still a long way to go, and he couldn’t just seek temporary benefits.
Yun Luo looked troubled, “Three thousand taels is still more. How about this number?” She held out a finger.
“A thousand silver?” Xu Guoliang was very surprised. Was there a mistake? He had bid 5000, but she had forcibly compressed it into 1000. Was this just treating him as fun?
Yun Luo shook her head.
“You won’t tell This Penniless Priest that it’s a hundred liang of silver.” The virtual light looked like a green melon. If it was one hundred taels of silver, he might as well go drink the northwest wind.
Cloudfall shook his head again.
Xu Guoliang’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, “10 taels?”
Yun Luo finally nodded, “Yes.”
Our old Taoist was so angry that he almost vomited blood. How could she have the nerve to say 10 taels of silver? Wouldn’t her conscience hurt?
He finally understood that Ye Zichen wasn’t making fun of him, he was just treating him as a beggar.
“There’s no need for us to say anything else. This Penniless Priest will go and catch the ghost now. Goodbye.” She felt that talking to her would be a waste of time.
He was still reminiscing about the fox spirit of the past. It was so straightforward to not bargain with him to such an extent.
“Taoist Taoist!” You can’t go! You really can’t leave! ” Yun Luo grabbed his sleeve and held him back.
Xu Guang didn’t want to use any spells here, because he needed to conserve enough energy to catch ghosts, so he struggled. “Let go of this poor Taoist, don’t you know that men and women are too intimate?”
As his husband, Nangong Yu didn’t seem to care at all, “It’s fine. Dao Lord, don’t forget that she’s a fox spirit, and that he’s only a male and female. He doesn’t have any males or females.”
Yun Luo gave her husband a satisfied look. It was rare for him to be standing on her side. Even though his words weren’t very pleasant, the logic behind them was still correct.
“You’re the emperor after all. Are you just going to let the empress and poor Taoist drag each other along like this?”
Nangong Yu slowly approached him, “I’m willing.”
After he finished speaking, he knocked him out while the light wasn’t paying attention.
Yun Luo was stunned, but this was the best way.
“The rest is up to you.” Nangong Yu clapped his hands. He could only help so much.
“Alright!” Yun Luo first used a rope to tie the virtual light up.
Nangong Yu was already lying on the bed, looking exceptionally relaxed. “Are you sure this kind of ordinary rope can bind him?”
Legends said that there were Immortal Binding Ropes and Demon Binding Ropes. It was unknown whether or not there was a Path Binding Rope.
Yun Luo smiled proudly, “Of course I can’t bind it, but I can do it.”
“Spell? Your magic might not be able to subdue him. ” Nangong Yu was worried about her ability. Although she had only taken one thousand year old Lingzhi, his ability to use light was not to be underestimated.
“I’m naturally not good enough.” Yun Luo slowly walked towards Nangong Yu, “I still need to rely on Your Majesty’s help.”
“Me?” Nangong Yu was very hesitant. Just what kind of idea did she have?
Yun Luo chuckled and said, “I need the Blood of the Son of Heaven to cast the spell. Coincidentally, you are.” She picked up a knife from the table.
Nangong Yu’s eyes were as big as the moon, “You …” You want to murder your husband? ”
This little fox was too daring. Did he really kill the king? They were going to be wiped out.
However, Yun Luo still had a faint smile on her face. “How can this be called the murder of one’s husband? Just a little blood. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. It won’t hurt at all. Really. ”
As he spoke to comfort others, he raised his saber and approached Nangong Yu …
The disaster of the bloody light was reported to the Son of Heaven for no reason at all.
