“I will definitely bring you back. Don’t even think about making me a single mother. I won’t do what you want.”

423. From now on, please protect me.

In the days that followed, Su Yu continued to fuse various talents.

Some people were quite arrogant, and it took a considerable amount of effort to persuade them to undergo talent fusion.

However, most people cooperated with Su Yu without expecting anything in return.

After nearly a month of talent fusion...

Su Yu clearly felt that her soul palace was beginning to experience unusual tremors.

The once barren land, crisscrossed with ravines, was restored without anyone noticing, and even sprouted green grass, becoming quite vibrant.

The golden soul stone, suspended in mid-air, had grown much larger and its light was even more dazzling.

Even without Bai Longji's guidance, Su Yu could see the semi-transparent human figure in the middle of the soul stone.

Miss Ryoko floated quietly in it, without any breath.

But even just looking at her like this makes Su Yu feel better.

She often wonders if everything she is doing now is proof of the so-called "cause and effect".

The Demon King and Ryoko used to protect her and keep her safe, but now it's her turn to do it.

After a month of accumulation, Su Yu had the opportunity to awaken one of them.

Following the system's suggestion, Su Yu chose to wake up Miss Ghost King first.

"Ten thousand points."

Su Yu felt a little pain in her flesh.

"Why is the price so high? Is your broken system deliberately making things difficult for me?!"

The system was a little annoyed: "This isn't my pricing! Besides, I've helped you get special treatment and sold a lot of things. How can you doubt our friendship?"

Su Yu: "Oh."

"Oh?! You only have one 'oh'?! That's too much! I'm going to make a scene, I'm going to... make a scene!"

However, it failed to cause any trouble.

Su Yu grabbed its face and squeezed it hard twice.

"Calm down, restrain yourself, thank you."

The system looked aggrieved and declared that it would not eat today in protest.

Su Yu, as always, used a ruthless tactic: "You won't die if you don't eat, and you're saving me food, thank you."

System: "Then I want to eat! I want to eat a ton, and eat you out of house and home!"

While the two of them were playfully fighting, Miss Ghost King's finger twitched.

……

In the pitch-black void.

Miss Ghost King's consciousness stopped drifting.

She seemed to have spotted an old acquaintance here, but it wasn't quite a coincidence.

"Master?"

The Ghost King dared not get too close to the blurry figure.

She always felt that if she took another step closer, she would never be able to leave this void.

“Master, I’ve met someone I want to protect forever. You must have seen her, right? She’s a very lovely human girl. She taught me the meaning of love and being loved, and she also showed me for whom I should use my power…”

The blurry figure swayed slightly.

That familiar voice of the Ghost King rang out from afar: "Is that so? That's wonderful."

"Master, I want to become human."

The Ghost King simply sat down and rubbed his messy long hair.

"Xiaoyu is strong enough now, I think... she doesn't need me to always stand in front of her anymore."

The master's voice rang out again: "You want to give up your power? In other words, do you want to stay in the human realm forever?"

"Yes, Master."

When the war ends, the boundary between Yin and Yang will be drawn once again.

Gods may be allowed to roam freely in this world, but ghosts and monsters are absolutely not permitted.

If she doesn't give up her ghost identity, she'll only be able to meet Su Yu in her dreams from now on... maybe on Ghost Festival at most...

This is not the life she wants.

Do you know what it means to give up your power?

Ghost King: "I know, I can't just uproot a building like that anymore."

"So, what if someone bullies you? Can you still use your own hands to fight for your dignity?"

The Ghost King chuckled and said, "From now on, let my wife protect me."

"I hope you won't regret your decision later."

As they were talking, the Ghost King's consciousness was pulled out by a powerful force.

The pain throughout her body made her groan softly.

"Lord Ghost King, are you awake?"

Su Yu leaned closer to look at her, and the next second, she was tightly embraced by Miss Ghost King.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!"

The usually strong Ghost King was now crying like a child thousands of years old.

"I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Cough cough cough... My neck, my neck is going to be strangled... cough cough cough..."

Miss Ghost King reluctantly let go, then clutched her arm, grimacing, "Ouch, that hurts, that hurts!"

System: "It's normal to feel pain! You were frozen by the ice crystals for so long, and then your consciousness was forcibly pulled back. How could it not hurt!"

Miss Ghost King frowned and looked around for someone to speak to.

Seeing the tiny glutinous rice ball next to Su Yu, she was stunned for a moment: "Did Xiao Yu have another child for me while I was away?"

Su Yu forced a smile: "No, that's not it..."

The system huffed, "I'm not your child!"

Ghost King: "Oh, then it's alright."

As she spoke, she muttered under her breath, "I knew it! Xiaoyu and I are both so good-looking, how could we possibly have given birth to something as ugly as you?"

"Hey! Who are you calling ugly? Is this how you treat your savior?!"

Su Yu: "I need to correct you. You are not her savior; I am."

"Tch, I was the one who sold you the scroll, wasn't I?"

Su Yu: "I used points."

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have the chance to use your points, hmph!"

Su Yu: "Oh."

At this moment, all of Su Yu's gaze was fixed on the Ghost King.

Miss Ghost King seemed a little embarrassed, as if she hadn't had time to adjust to Su Yu's aloof demeanor suddenly giving her such a tender look.

Su Yu coughed lightly and said, "Would you like to get up and go for a walk outside? The flowers outside the window are in bloom."

"it is good."

She helped the Ghost King up from the bed.

The system, like a glutinous rice ball, decided to jump onto the windowsill to see what the two of them were up to.

"Tch, not even a kiss?"

"I thought that after not seeing each other for so long, absence would make us feel like we're newlyweds!"

"Sigh, as expected, you can't have too high expectations for an old married couple."

……

"Xiaoyu, I want to become a human."

Miss Ghost King's sudden remark caught Su Yu off guard.

"why?"

She didn't mind the Ghost King becoming like an ordinary person, since she was now powerful enough to protect him.

However, she still felt something was strange...

How could the Demon King, who always prioritizes power, have such thoughts?

"The war will probably be over soon. I don't want to go back to that side alone; I want to stay by your side forever."

The Ghost King smiled gently, picked a flower, and tucked it into Su Yu's long hair.

"From now on, I'll be relying on you to protect me."

424. Are the bigwigs preparing for a collective retirement?

"Use this and your wish will come true."
