"What kind of time is this to be telling jokes?"
After walking quite a distance, Su Yu finally let go of her hand.
She turned around and glared fiercely at the Ghost King.
"Aren't you the Ghost King? Aren't you very powerful? Why are you so obedient? Why are you letting others manipulate you?"
The Ghost King smiled slyly: "Because I am not only the Ghost King, but also your partner."
"What will happen if we complete that ritual?"
Su Yu was genuinely worried.
She looked the Ghost King and the other woman up and down, almost as if she wanted to strip them naked to see if they were injured.
"Will you two die?"
The Ghost King chuckled awkwardly and said, "It's not that bad, I'd rather die..."
"So, you'll lose half your strength?"
The Ghost King looked up at the sky, his voice weak: "Ah, more or less..."
Seeing her pathetic state, Ryoko snorted coldly.
"Lord Ghost King, is it really okay to deceive children like this?"
The Ghost King tried to cover her mouth, but it was too late.
Ryoko revealed the whole truth.
"You already knew that the Soul-Soothing Box could only be used to store items for a limited time, not indefinitely, didn't you?"
Su Yu's face darkened: "You're lying to me?"
"Huh? No!"
Miss Ghost King only wanted to admit her mistake at this point, but it was too late.
Su Yu stormed off in a huff.
"See, it's all your fault for being so talkative, Xiaoyu is ignoring us now."
"But at least you've seen how worried Xiaoyu is about you, so you must be quite satisfied, right?"
Ryoko is always like that; she speaks very directly and to the point.
The Ghost King snorted: "Aren't you satisfied? I think your tail is about to take off."
"hehe."
Miss Fox smiled without saying a word.
Only the tail knew the joy in the heart.
……
……
A border town, a black market.
When Su Yu and her group arrived, the market was almost over.
The street was pitch black, with only a few scattered lights on, which could only roughly illuminate the outline of the street.
In the darkness, some shadowy figures moved swiftly, flashing by.
The rustling sounds rose and fell.
Clearly, things were still quite lively in the corners that Su Yu couldn't see.
"Xiaoyu, are you scared?"
As the Ghost King said this, he snapped his fingers.
A row of emerald green will-o'-the-wisps rose slowly, illuminating the usually dark street!
Those hiding in the shadows screamed and scattered as soon as they saw the light.
"Now you won't be afraid, right?"
"……Um."
The Ghost King's methods are always so direct and effective.
Why bother playing these ghost stories with her and being so mysterious?
Those won't work.
The road ahead has become wider without us even realizing it.
So they made their way to the center of the black market, to the entrance of an unremarkable pawnshop.
Push open the heavy wooden door and step over the high threshold.
There was only one worker dressed in linen clothes cleaning, wiping tables and chairs. In the small main room, there were three sets of mahogany tables and chairs, as well as several pots of oddly shaped flowers.
I don't know what kind of incense they're using, but the smell is really strong.
Upon seeing Su Yu, the young waiter cautiously took a few steps back before asking, "What are you doing here?"
"We're looking for your shopkeeper."
The Ghost King casually picked out a set of table and chairs, sat down, and very familiarly brewed himself a pot of fine tea.
"Oh, and give us some fruit and snacks, we're starving."
The waiter rolled his eyes: "You wait! I'll call the manager over right now and have him beat you to death."
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and went to the backyard.
The Ghost King sighed and said, "This young man has chosen the wrong path."
Ryoko reminded him, "Before we leave, we still need to see your mother-in-law. You'd better not get your hands dirty."
"Okay, I get it!"
In order to please his mother-in-law, he had to put on an image of being a reformed and repentant person.
Miss Ghost King can only be more patient.
"Can you two please stop calling your mother-in-law that?"
Su Yu couldn't lecture them in front of the town mayor, so she naturally had to bring it up now.
She felt very awkward being addressed like that!
However, the Demon King and Ryoko, who already knew her feelings, exchanged a smile and showed no intention of hiding their true feelings.
"You don't have to call me mother-in-law, just call me Mother."
"I think it's okay."
Seeing how much fun the two of them were having, Su Yu was really annoyed but couldn't vent her anger.
"You two, stop going too far!"
Just as I was waiting for the shop owner, the door was pushed open again.
The two guests who came in this time were both people Su Yu knew.
Ye Chushi never expected to see Su Yu here.
She spent a lot of ghost money to bribe people and find out about tonight's event, and she only managed to get two tickets!
How did Su Yu get in so easily?
"Miss Su, you're very well-informed. Are you here to participate in the auction too?" Ye Chushi said, sitting down in the empty seat next to Su Yu.
"I suggest Miss Su give up. This is something our organization is determined to get. You don't want to go against us, do you?"
The woman who came with Ye Chushi looked familiar to Su Yu, but she couldn't remember her name.
However, this is not important.
Su Yu gave a curt "Oh" and then ignored them.
"Miss Su."
At the beginning of the night, he was still staring at Su Yu.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, concealing the murderous intent within them.
"You can be indifferent to our organization, but please don't do anything foolish."
Miss Ghost King smiled and said, "Young man, games are more fun when played slowly. Why rush to narrow your path?"
Are you threatening me?
"Yes, it's obvious, isn't it?"
When their eyes met, Ye Chushi felt a powerful sense of threat.
She felt as if her heart had been squeezed hard, almost bursting.
She lowered her head in fear and, with trembling hands, picked up the water glass.
"Don't rush to your death, I'm still counting on you to give us some more fun."
The Ghost King always maintained a leisurely and carefree demeanor.
However, after being frightened like that, Ye Chushi's arrogance noticeably diminished, and he became much quieter.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the shop owner, Long Xin, finally arrived.
"You...why are you here?"
Long Xin clearly recognized the Ghost King.
He was arrogant before entering, but became timid in a second after entering.
"Do you also want this magical herb I have?"
The Ghost King waved his hand: "What kind of immortal herbs? I'm not interested. I'm here to buy things."
Long Xin was stunned.
