As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 136: Strange Intruder

Let’s rule the world together!
This pie is painted...

Mingchen couldn't help but smile as he looked at Wang Liu who was swearing so confidently in front of him.

Perhaps Wang Huai's invitation to him now was truly sincere.

but……

It is impossible for people to remain unchanged.

From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of two kings sharing the throne.

Even if the two of them really have a brotherly love, what about their offspring?
The supreme position is unparalleled in the world.

It is destined to be a seat for only one person.

Mingchen looked at Wang Liu with a smile on his face. "Lord Liu, if you really wanted to invite me, why didn't you tell me so from the beginning?"

Since we have invited each other to rule the world together, why use this negotiation method? Knowing that the other party is determined, he further throws out chips.

"Forehead……"

Wang Liu paused when he heard this, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing the atmosphere stagnant, Mingchen poured him another cup of tea. "Master Liu, do you think people prefer to steal other people's things to expand their own family? Or do they prefer to guard their own things with fear and treacherousness to prevent others from stealing them?"

Wang Liu:?
The top scholar was stunned and didn't know what Mingchen was talking about.

"Once I become emperor, the world will belong to me, and I will have to do my utmost to prevent others from stealing my things."

"But if I don't become an emperor... I can just steal other people's things, be a little greedy, and I won't feel any psychological burden."

Mingchen smiled and instilled a bunch of nonsense and heresy into him.

Wang Liu: ...

"Master Ming is joking."

This man is truly a freak.

It's strange, why are there always some unfathomable ideas.

However, he knew what Mingchen meant by saying this. He was actually rejecting him politely and didn't want to make the atmosphere too awkward.

"Master Ming, my brother is a man of his word."

"I hope you will give it some thought... My brother said that his promise is always valid."

"Even if he achieves unification, I am still willing to be with you."

Wang Huai believes that it is disadvantageous for one person to hold all the power.

One more person can warn him and supervise him. The two of them can check and balance each other and better manage the country.

Of course, this is what he thinks now, and it’s hard to say what he will think in the future.

People won't always remain the same.

Moreover, Mingchen was the only one who caught his eye.

However, Wang Liu's words to Mingchen now showed his sincerity to the Blood-Clothed Army.

"Hey!"

"Please, Master Liu, thank your brother for his kindness on my behalf."

Mingchen said with a smile and didn't refuse anymore.

He seemed to have remembered something, and he leaned closer to Wang Liu, asking curiously, "Since you call yourselves ghosts, what kind of ghost is Wang Huai?"

Wang Liu replied, "My brother is a hungry ghost."

Mingchen: ...

"What about you?"

"I'm a sick ghost."

Mingchen: ...

After all this time, this arrogant ghost of his sounds better.

These two brothers don't seem to have any talent for naming.

……

“What a ghost…what a ghost!”

Mingchen and Wang Liu were discussing the name of the ghost who caused chaos in the country in the mansion.

However, on the street, a middle-aged man was behaving strangely, muttering hysterically, attracting curious glances from the peddlers around him.

He was wearing a black and red robe with patterns of green-faced and fanged evil spirits printed on it. In his hand, he held a bronze compass with strange runes painted on it.

His face was pale, but not the paleness of a sickly person like Xiao Zhengyang, but the eerie paleness that came from rarely seeing the sun.

The surface of the compass was mottled with verdigris, and tadpole-shaped spells glowed faintly as the needle vibrated.

At this moment, he stared at the compass in his hand, his eyes full of eagerness, the corners of his mouth twisted to his ears, revealing his sharp white teeth, which was particularly weird.

When ghosts walk in the human world, they leave behind ghost shadows and gloomy winds.

Ordinary people cannot see or feel it.

However, he was a ghost-controlling messenger, and he could feel that this was a ghost that was hundreds of years old, and it was also a ghost of an unparalleled heroic spirit.

How beautiful, how powerful...

"Hehehe~"

His breathing seemed to become heavier, his face became more gloomy and weird, and his smile was hideous.

The evil ghost with black patterns on his body seemed to be glowing.

He changed his fingers, pinched two seals, and invisible magic power spread out in circles.

【Resentful Wind Escape】

Under the bright sunshine, gusts of cold wind suddenly blew.

The wind blew and passers-by shivered unconsciously.

"That person...that person...disappeared!"

"Was there someone there just now?"

The biting cold wind passed in an instant. The passerby who was sitting nearby to rest was a little stunned. He rubbed his eyes and asked the person next to him.

How could that living person just disappear in the blink of an eye?
……

"No, no, lift your legs higher!"

"You're using your waist! Use your waist to generate power!"

"Not bad, not bad! That's it!"

In a courtyard of the Ming Mansion, figures moved and swords swirled. A child, sweating profusely, practiced diligently in the yard.

At the same time, the nagging voice that only she could hear rang in her ears.

Unseen by others, the old general, his hair and beard all white, stood by, arms folded across his chest, pointing and commenting. Mingchen had something important to do yesterday and had left them here.

The child seemed a little tired from practicing. He wiped the sweat from his head, put away his sword and stopped.

"Grandpa, thank you."

Unconsciously, the dull child gradually gained some confidence and was able to talk to others.

She nodded slightly towards the old ghost.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

This girl is truly gifted and is making rapid progress.

"Good shy butterfly, thank me so much, take me to the restaurant for a while in the future."

Mingchen's mansion is large and empty, with few people.

After coming here, Guo Chongyun was very upset.

Even a ghost like him felt that Mingchen's place was eerie. The restaurant was more interesting, with people coming and going, talking about all kinds of topics.

Laogui has been lonely for too long and likes to be lively.

"Oh...I'll have to ask my brother."

Guo Chongyun: ...

He is clearly the oldest, but he has no say at all.

"Grandpa, what did my brother do yesterday?"

The child stared at the old ghost with his gray eyes without blinking, as if he was a little curious.

"Forehead……"

Guo Chongyun was stuck, not knowing what to say, fearing that he would teach Mingchen a bad lesson.

But the next moment, they both shuddered. The grass and trees swayed, and a cold, biting wind blew, as if piercing their souls.

Xiudie suddenly turned her head and swung the wooden sword in her hand in one direction.

"Whoosh!"

The wooden sword flew through the air, the tip of the sword pointing directly into the shadow of the tree, and a strange figure emerged from the shadow.

The wooden sword struck him but passed through his chest.

"Hehehe~"

“Found it, found it, found it!”

The dark red robe with a pattern of a green-faced, fang-toothed evil spirit gleamed with a bright light. Along with bursts of hoarse laughter, a pair of sinister eyes suddenly looked up and locked onto the empty space beside Xiudie.

"Good...good ghost, good ghost..."

His eyes were bloodshot, but full of eagerness.

"Ok?"

Guo Chongyun frowned slightly and looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared in the yard.

He knew very well that this person should be able to see him. In fact, he was the target of the other party.

Xiudie was even more of a taciturn person, not fond of talking. She simply pulled out a dagger from her waist and looked at the strange man with a wary look on her face.

"You killed a lot of people!"

"You are the Soul of the Army! You are the Ghost King!"

"follow me!"

"Become one with me, be me!"

The strange visitor looked at Guo Chongyun with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he were looking at some perfect work of art. It made the old ghost feel a little uneasy.

His lips moved and he murmured excitedly.

He then made a hand gesture with his fingers and muttered some strange incantation rapidly.

【Three Ghosts Binding Spirits】

The next moment, accompanied by gusts of breeze, a strange fog spread out.

"Hehehe, hahahaha~"

The strange sound of children's laughter suddenly rang out in the yard.

Suddenly, three strange children covered in black suddenly emerged from the ground and stood around Guo Chongyun. They closed their eyes, opened their mouths, smiled strangely, and had unknown runes tattooed on their bodies.

Then, the strange man pressed down his palm, and the three children were shocked and opened their eyes immediately. Their pupilless eyes emitted bursts of strange light, and three invisible lines connected them together, forming a regular triangle.

Invisible energy rippled out in circles, sealing Guo Chongyun in place.

This was the first time Guo Chongyun had seen such a scene, and he felt waves of silent pressure, as if he was locked here.

These techniques seem to be specifically aimed at ghost-like beings like them.

But he was not panicked, and even watched with interest.

Seeing that Guo Chongyun did not dodge or evade, the strange man was delighted. He crossed one hand across his chest and made a hand gesture, and swung the other hand violently, and a black light flashed by.

Two nails of unknown material were accurately nailed into Guo Chongyun's feet.

【Ghost Nail】

"who are you?"

The chatterbox teacher who usually acts like a bootlicker in front of Mingchen, now has his arms crossed over his chest, with a majestic look on his face, and an indescribable aura in his every move.

He was the victorious general who commanded thousands of troops. Even in death, he was still a hero.

Even though he was haunted by little ghosts and had black nails on his feet, he didn't care.

"唳~"

The strange man who broke into the yard had not yet answered him.

Suddenly, a clear bird cry was heard from the sky, and a white figure flashed by.

Along with it came a sharp gust of wind, and the invisible wind blade cut through the trees behind it, leaving smooth cuts.

At the same time, he also accurately cut the invader's body and snatched Guo Chongyun's head.

Those who come with ill intentions and trespass into the Ming Mansion without permission naturally have no mercy. Ming Chen has never been a kind person, and the Fuyao he taught is naturally not much different.

"There are also demons..."

However, the monster that was cut by the wind blade seemed to be fine. He even looked up at the white bird that had appeared out of nowhere, and his excited grin seemed to have faded a little.

He frowned slightly, a little confused.

Are there any monsters here?
He is a ghost controller, skilled in controlling ghosts with magic, and subduing and capturing ghosts.

But when it comes to exorcising demons and monsters, that's not the right profession for you.

What is going on with this mansion?
