Oh no! I'm surrounded by female ghosts!

In the wasteland outside the highway.

The human-skin ghost lay on the ground, its form blurred, trying to minimize its presence.

The ghost, with its head sunken in, resembling someone who jumped to their death, knelt on the ground, its whole body trembling uncontrollably.

When Jiang Qian woke up, she looked at the scene in front of her and her mind went blank. For a moment, she thought she was still dreaming.

Gu Yan immediately covered her mouth and pulled her aside.

Even Director Zhou Zhengyang and Lin Lao, a five-sense awakener, were standing by, not daring to say a word.

"Divine consciousness?"

Su Ming's gaze met Yu Mengnian's indifferent eyes.

All eyes were on the 17-year-old boy.

"I have no idea."

"And another thing," Su Ming asked, scratching his head blankly, "what is divine sense?"

Yu Mengnian's gaze sharpened, and she reached out to grab Su Ming's wrist: "I want this person."

At the same time, Wen Qi grabbed Yu Mengnian's wrist and his eyes flickered slightly: "He doesn't belong to you."

Chen Zhiwei, standing to the side, stared in disbelief at Wen Qi, then at Yu Mengnian.

Their gazes met in mid-air, neither willing to back down an inch.

All the focus was on this boy named Su Ming.

The night was already dark, but it became even heavier now, as if the air itself could be wrung out of water.

Zhou Zhengyang and Old Lin didn't dare to utter a sound, let alone try to mediate the fight.

After all, the two people in front of them are, respectively, the pillar of the Dragon Kingdom and the strongest person in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that their confrontation is enough to shake the entire landscape of the planet.

Gu Yan, Jiang Qian, and Li He dared not speak.

They were so overwhelmed by the immense pressure that they couldn't even lift their heads.

Lin Jiajia hid behind Chen Zhiwei, peeking out half her face and curiously looking at Su Ming, who was standing calmly in the center, her eyes thoughtful.

Chen Zhiwei was the only one in the entire scene who could mediate the fight.

Chen Zhiwei did not try to stop the fight. She just frowned and looked at the three of them repeatedly without saying a word.

At this tense moment...

A crimson wave of energy rose in the distance, carrying a terrifying aura that darkened the entire sky.

Before the figure even appeared, a lazy yet dangerous laugh had already arrived.

The murderous aura filled the air and condensed, slowly forming a blood-red mirror.

A figure in red quietly appeared in the mirror.

She had a pair of scarlet, blood-red eyes, eerie and unsettling, which she gazed at Su Ming with interest through the mirror.

He licked his lips, his voice carrying a dangerous glint in his eyes: "You guys continue, don't worry about me."

"I just came to see what you're fighting over?"

Zhou Zhengyang's expression changed, and his heart skipped a beat.

The visitor was not human, but a ghost, the most terrifying ghost known to the world.

The woman in red in the mirror: Cheng Yao.

She committed suicide with endless resentment in her life, and resurrected with overwhelming grievances after death.

Only Yu Mengnian in the world could keep her in check.

But Yu Mengnian couldn't kill her, nor could she keep her.

Moreover, if pushed too far, her strength will grow endlessly.

Once a certain boundary is crossed, it could very well trigger some kind of terrible misfortune.

For Earth, her existence is the most unstable bomb.

Su Ming gazed at the woman in red in the mirror.

Another one has appeared!

In fact, the moment Wen Qi, Yu Mengnian, and Chen Zhiwei made their move, it alarmed many important figures.

After all, their every move has always attracted a lot of attention.

Every move they make attracts attention, let alone when everyone gathers here.

In the mirror, Cheng Yao smiled at Su Ming, her voice soft and alluring.

"Hey handsome young man, how about considering me?"

"Even though my sister is a ghost, she is still..."

Before she could finish her ambiguous words, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she looked to the other side.

Wen Qi and Yu Mengnian also looked into the distance at the same time.

A drop of blood fell from the dark night sky.

Cheng Yao murmured somewhat solemnly, "How did we manage to alarm this person as well?"

The blood droplet fell slowly, landing silently, and instantly transformed into a human shape.

It was another woman.

A graceful and elegant noblewoman.

Physical appearance pales in comparison to her aura.

Her aura was the strongest and most magnificent in the entire room, exuding an inherent majesty that even Wen Qi couldn't help but notice.

This is Shen Wanyu, the true head of the Shen family and the most prestigious person in the Dragon Kingdom. She ascended to the core of power in the Dragon Kingdom six years ago.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Since Wu Zetian, she was the second woman in Chinese history to truly hold the reins of power over the country, wielding immense influence and becoming a household name throughout the nation.

In ancient times, she would certainly have been recorded in historical records as the second female emperor in the history of the Dragon Kingdom.

Moreover, this person is not very old, only 44 years old.

If this person comes...

So…

Wen Qi looked around, his black hair trembling slightly.

Sure enough, that person had already arrived.

Xu Qinghe, the world's most wanted criminal, is known as the "flower of extreme evil," mysterious and unpredictable, and her whereabouts are difficult to find.

She has been involved in many major global events.

I've heard that she can live in people's hearts and read their thoughts, but I don't know if it's true or not.

In any case, her mystery was such that apart from Wen Qi knowing a little about her, no one else had even heard of her.

Su Ming was completely stunned; his brain simply shut down.

One after another, top figures appeared, each with an aura and identity more terrifying than the last.

In terms of fame, Shen Wanyu is the most famous.

Su Ming watches her on TV every day.

We often hear in news reports about where she went to inspect today and where she went to offer condolences tomorrow.

He is a calm and dignified ruler who cares for the country and its people.

Who would have thought that this high-ranking figure was actually a hidden awakener?

Shocked, Su Ming blurted out instinctively.

"Aren't there any capable men out there?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth, looking slightly embarrassed.

I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind.

Li He sighed softly; he knew that this young man's way of thinking was different from that of ordinary people.

When I saw a ghost, my first reaction was, "How can it be so ugly?"

Seeing so many important figures gathered together, my first reaction was that there weren't any powerful men to support them; why were they all women?

But this unintentional remark inadvertently revealed the true state of affairs on Earth today.

Not only Li He, but also Zhou Zhengyang and Lin Lao had privately thought about and reflected on this.

Without mentioning other countries.

Besides Zhou Zhengyang and Elder Lin, the only other people in Longguo who can hold their own are Bai Bin.

And this was only barely enough.

The gist of it is: if they sit down to talk, they can stand and listen.

The imbalance of Yin and Yang on Earth is extremely pronounced.

People often say that all the strong men in the world are worth one stone, but God has hidden nine dou and nine jiu.

Only a few scattered bits remained, which were then divided among all the strong men in the world.

Therefore, Zhou Zhengyang often jokes that he should not call God "Godfather" but "Goddess of Heaven".

There are very few top-tier male experts, and they can't hold up the scene at all.

No wonder exceptional figures like Wen Qi and Yu Mengnian have remained single for so long.

Ultimately, no man in the world can catch their eye.

Thinking about this...

Zhou Zhengyang's gaze towards Su Ming changed.

Don't worry about anything else.

Anyway, Wen Qi and Yu Mengnian are fighting over him.

Cheng Yao also wanted to get involved.

This young man has certainly earned the respect of men across the land and salvaged some dignity for them.

These are the people present.

Gaining the favor of just one of them would be enough to establish oneself in the world and fear nothing.

If one could obtain the assistance of someone like Shen Wanyu, it would be comparable to ascending the throne.

We've strayed a bit from the topic.

Zhou Zhengyang pulled himself out of his chaotic thoughts and had to re-evaluate this 17-year-old boy.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on Su Ming, a strange flower quietly bloomed.

The Flower of Extreme Evil is one of the most terrifying and unsolvable curses known in the Dragon Kingdom, and even Yu Mengnian dares not be careless about it.

The flower of extreme evil unfolded layer by layer, black mist surged, and a phantom-like figure slowly condensed into form.

Xu Qinghe gave up her physical body as early as 2020 and became invisible.

The flower of evil is her only tangible embodiment.

The moment the figure appeared, everyone present became extremely solemn.

Su Ming stared at the figure, puzzled.

Does she really have that much power?

It's amazing that so many people are wary of it.

The figure stood in the void, giving Su Ming a deep look.

She left behind only two profound sentences before vanishing into the world.

Bai Xinglan is in Pingjiang City.

"Su Ming, happy seventeenth birthday."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's brows furrowed and they all fell into deep thought.

According to Wen Qi's understanding.

Xu Qinghe can hear the voices in people's hearts.

What sound did she hear that made her say those two sentences?

A moment later, Wen Qi, Chen Zhiwei, and Lin Jiajia's brows relaxed, and although shock remained in their eyes, they were also relieved.

"Let's go."

Wen Qi spoke calmly.

"We're going to Pingjiang City."

She took the initiative to release her grip on Yu Mengnian's hand.

As he walked to her side, Wen Qi paused and glanced at her, his tone indifferent: "What good would it do you to give it to me?"

What can you give him now?

After speaking, she turned and strode away with graceful movements.

Yu Mengnian watched that receding figure.

My vision suddenly blurred, and I saw overlapping, blurry images.

The more I look at that graceful departing figure, the more it seems to resemble herself.

Her own figure resembled Wen Qi, Shen Wanyu, and many others, but it was unlike herself.

It was as if she was the one who left time and time again.

They were the ones who stayed by his side time and time again.

She looked at Su Ming with a somewhat blank expression.

Feeling emotionally deprived, she experienced a dull ache in her heart for the first time.

She looked at the boy's hand that she was holding.

There are some things I don't want to let go of.

Why don't you want to let go?

She didn't know, but she gripped it tighter and tighter, so tight that the boy couldn't help but groan.

The boy abruptly released his grip, clutching his swollen wrist.

I was almost snapped in two by Yu Mengnian.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Mengnian asked.

"Does it hurt?"

The boy froze, unsure how to respond, but his expression turned strange.

Yu Mengnian explained, "I let go because I was afraid it would hurt you."

This reason, to the boy, was like a bolt from the blue.

What does that mean?

But these words, when they reached Zhou Zhengyang's ears, were no less than a level 10 nuclear explosion.

His eyes almost popped out.

It's a love confession.

These are Yu Mengnian's love words.

It's not that Yu Mengnian was born with emotional deficiencies, without joy or sorrow, without feelings or thoughts, without empathy or love, and that she would never be able to fall in love with anyone in this lifetime.

But what is she doing?

Su Ming pursed his lips, his expression strange, and whispered, "Thank you."

Yu Mengnian looked at him quietly, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke again.

Her voice was flat, without any discernible emotional fluctuation, yet it seemed as if she had exhausted all her emotions and strength.

What do you want?

"I'll give it to you."

This is not an inquiry; this is a promise from Yu Mengnian.

Similar to a bounced check.

I'll sign my name and give you unlimited privileges.

Write down whatever you want.

I'll give you anything I have.

If I don't have it, I'll help you get it.
