Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

The past events are still vivid in my mind, and I have felt the fear and pain of losing Yulan more than once. Therefore, from now on, I am determined that I will never be separated from Yulan again, even if the sky falls and the earth cracks.

Wuxing felt that no matter how the Heavenly Emperor changed, how day and night alternated, how the world was, or how the common people were, as long as he was with Yulan, that was enough. He didn't need to think about anything else, because he could not afford to lose Yulan again.

Yulan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled at Wuxing, and tightly grasped his hand in return. Then she turned around and looked at Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie stood there, watching the enviable scene before him. Yulan smiled, then wiped away her tears and said:

"Alright, let's not talk about these unhappy things now! Anyway, I really want to thank you and Sister Hua Rou. Yao Xie, can I call you that from now on? I think you're a little younger than me."

Lin Yaoxie nodded and said, "Of course you can. Wuxing and I are brothers, so you can naturally do it."

Yulan smiled and nodded, seemingly a little embarrassed. After glancing at Wuxing, she continued:

"I feel a special connection when I see you. You're just like my own younger brother, and I really want to be your older sister so I can help you and take care of you in many ways!"

"Besides, you saved me, so I think this must be a kind of destiny ordained by heaven! And since you are my invisible younger brother, I think we should call each other that from now on!"

Lin Yaoxie nodded and replied, "Of course, no problem (okay), then from now on, I'll call you Sister Yulan!"

Upon hearing this, Yulan laughed happily, nodded emphatically, and then she and Lin Yaoxie drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

Yulan and Lin Yaoxie looked at each other and burst into laughter, as did Wuxing. Wuxing felt immense satisfaction at that moment, because he felt that his Yulan remained unchanged.

Chapter 257 The Ghost King Presents the Talisman

Lin Yaoxie originally thought that Yulan would say some polite words and thank him, which would be enough. However, he did not expect that Yulan would actually want to recognize him as her brother.

This surprised Lin Yaoxie, because he had always believed that obtaining the Spirit Gathering Grass was not simply for the life of Ghost King Yulan, but also involved many other things.

Therefore, Lin Yaoxie did not originally think he needed such a thank-you banquet, but due to the circumstances, he had to have such an occasion to gather most of the people in the Samsara Realm together.

Only in this way could Lin Yaoxie infiltrate the place he wanted to go and get the answers he sought. He had always believed this plan was flawless, with virtually no loopholes.

However, Lin Yaoxie still hadn't expected that Yulan genuinely wanted to recognize him as her younger brother. Perhaps, having come into this world without any real family, was Yulan perhaps arranged for him by fate, or rather, by the system?

This allows Lin Yaoxie, a person forced by the system to become a complete villain, to feel a little warmth from family and genuine affection.

Lin Yaoxie looked into Yulan's eyes, which were filled with happiness and joy. It was clear that she was genuinely happy and joyful because she had gained a younger brother.

However, Lin Yaoxie felt a sense of guilt that he had never felt before, as if he had betrayed such trust and affection.

However, Lin Yaoxie really had no other choice. He knew that the Ghost King and the Ghost Doctor were hiding something from him, but he couldn't confront them directly because it concerned the safety of the people he cared about most.

That's why Lin Yaoxie came up with this idea; before that, he never thought there was anything wrong with it.

Suddenly, Yulan stood solemnly in the middle of the platform, pulling Lin Yaoxie along with her. Lin Yaoxie was dazed and confused as he was led there, looking at Yulan with a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, Yulan reached out and silenced everyone. The entire banquet fell into a sudden stillness. Everyone looked at Ghost King Yulan, waiting for his next words.

Suddenly, Yulan spoke up: "Today, I have another very important announcement to make! One of them, as you all probably know, is that I want to be with the person beside me, Yi Yi Wu Xing, forever!"

After Yulan finished speaking, Wuxing and Yulan gazed at each other deeply. Lin Yaoxie looked at them and then gently clapped his hands, which gradually swelled into applause from below.

Finally, Yulan smiled, then stopped everyone and continued, "There is another matter, which is also very important, concerning my younger brother—Lin Yaoxie."

"As everyone knows, the Ghost King family has always had a tradition: there are always two Ghost King Talismans. One is given to the current Ghost King, while the other is kept in the Ghost King Palace for long-term preservation!"

"However, today I will give this Ghost King Talisman to Lin Yaoxie! From now on, he will be another Ghost King in the Realm of Reincarnation, and can receive everyone's worship just like me."

Chapter 258 Conflict Arises in the Realm of Reincarnation

Lin Yaoxie originally thought that Yulan pulled him to the middle just so that he could witness the love between Wuxing and her, and then, as their younger brother, become their witness.

However, he never expected that there was something about him involved. Moreover, this matter would cause a huge uproar throughout the entire Realm of Reincarnation.

Looking at everyone below, Ghost King Yulan solemnly said, "I made this decision after careful consideration! You know, my father only has me as his child!"

"So now that Lin Yaoxie has become my younger brother, he should also be a member of the Reincarnation Realm. He should also enjoy what he deserves as the younger brother of the Ghost King."

"If it weren't for him, I would probably be dead by now, and the Reincarnation Realm would definitely be in complete chaos. Therefore, I think the other Ghost King Talisman is most suitable for Lin Yaoxie!"

Lin Yaoxie looked at Yulan, then frowned, gently shook his head, and told her that he didn't want the talisman and that she should never do it again.

However, Yulan only gave him a reassuring look and a smile before turning away to look at the people below. Lin Yaoxie understood how difficult it was to give a Ghost King Talisman, passed down through generations, to an outsider.

However, Yulan insisted on doing it anyway. This touched Lin Yaoxie somewhat; he understood that Yulan was working hard for his position, but he didn't really care.

However, Yulan truly treated him like her own younger brother and insisted on doing so. Lin Yaoxie understood that the consequence of Yulan's insistence would be that she would incur the wrath of the masses; no one would agree with her decision, and this path would be extremely difficult.

Sure enough, no sooner had Yulan finished speaking than an older ghost historian stepped forward and said to Yulan:

"Your Majesty, I believe your actions are highly inappropriate. Putting aside the fact that the Ghost King Talisman is passed down from generation to generation of Ghost Kings, how can there be two Ghost Kings in this single realm of reincarnation? This is simply wishful thinking!"

As soon as this bizarre story was told, the room erupted in a frenzy of discussion, with almost everyone overwhelmingly opposing Yulan's proposal.

0oooo Requesting flowers.

"That's right, that's right! How could the Ghost King be appointed by an outsider from the Reincarnation Realm? This is simply unheard of!"

“That’s right. There can only be one Ghost King, so how can someone who isn’t from the Realm of Reincarnation be given this task?”

"I think this Ghost King is just daydreaming. She'll squander our entire Reincarnation Realm sooner or later!"

"That's exactly right. Putting aside the love affair between her and the Heavenly Emperor that brought us so much trouble, now she's brought us this shady character who appeared out of nowhere to become the Ghost King again!"

"Sigh, this is truly incomprehensible. How could anyone have such thoughts? How did our Realm of Reincarnation become like this?"

Such discussions were almost constant, but most people were expressing their dissatisfaction, and most were complaining about Yulan's decision.

Chapter 259 The Dispute Escalates

Lin Yaoxie never expected that Yulan's words would cause such a stir at the banquet. Almost the entire Samsara Realm overwhelmingly condemned Yulan's actions.

Everyone thought that Yulan, as the Ghost Queen, was already in great danger by falling in love with the Heavenly Emperor. But now, she was going to become sworn siblings with a human.

What's even more unexpected is that Yulan not only did these things in "947", but she also wanted to give the Ghost King Talisman, which was offered to the Ghost Kings of the Realm of Reincarnation, to an outsider in the Realm of Reincarnation. No wonder so many people objected.

Those who expressed their opposition below were mostly people who had sacrificed a lot for the Realm of Reincarnation. Perhaps they also felt resentful, as they had worked tirelessly for the Realm of Reincarnation but could not receive such treatment.

However, since Lin Yaoxie risked danger to help the Ghost King at Cangwu Mountain, picked the Spirit Gathering Grass, and saved the Ghost King Yulan's life, he was able to obtain the Ghost King Talisman. How could they be willing to accept that?

Yulan frowned as she looked at the people below, engrossed in their heated discussion. Once Yulan made up her mind to do something, she was determined to do it, no matter how much others opposed it.

However, this was the first time Yulan had ever witnessed such a passionate and impassioned scene of opposition. She wasn't unaware of why everyone was reacting so strongly.

After all, the Ghost King Talisman symbolizes power, the ability to manipulate events at will within the realm of reincarnation. Once one possesses this Ghost King Talisman, they will have many of the powers they dream of.

Therefore, from every perspective, these people are absolutely unwilling to let an outsider experience such glory. Most importantly, they also have high expectations for this right.

Perhaps they all thought that if it weren't for Lin Yaoxie, the Ghost King Talisman wouldn't belong to anyone else, even if it wasn't theirs. In that case, they would at least have one master and wouldn't have to grovel before another person.

Looking at the bustling scene below, Yulan unleashed her majesty and loudly addressed the crowd:

"What are you all discussing? When did it become your place to bargain with me over my decisions? Am I, a Ghost King, not allowed to decide who should receive my Ghost King Talisman?"

As soon as Yulan finished speaking, the voices of the people below indeed quieted down. ...However, unexpectedly, not long after, another official who looked older said to Yulan:

"How can we not have any say in this? Back then, we were the ones who supported you to take this position. Your father, the Emperor, instructed us to do everything in our power to help you govern the Realm of Reincarnation."

"We have poured so much effort and loyalty into this realm of reincarnation; do we now not even have the right to voice our opposition on behalf of the late king?" 5.4

"Ghost King, yes, you are indeed the Ghost King! But you are also the Ghost King of our Realm of Reincarnation, not someone else's. How can we agree to you giving the Ghost King Talisman to an outsider?"

As soon as this person finished speaking, the discussion below erupted again, even louder than before, and the Ghost King's expression turned quite unpleasant.

Chapter 260 The Rebellious Ghost Prime Minister

Because of the older official's continued opposition, those who were originally afraid of Yulan felt their courage rekindled, and their previously suppressed anger suddenly surged again.

Yulan looked down at the people below who kept voicing their opposition, her face darkening alarmingly. She was already recovering from a serious illness, and this further upset her only made her feel worse.

Wu Xing noticed Yu Lan's trembling hands clenched tightly, then quietly took her hand and gave her a comforting look, which calmed Yu Lan down.

Yulan looked at the people below, then tried to calm herself down. Pointing to the four older officials who had just spoken, she began to speak:

"Ghost Prime Minister, what exactly do you mean by that? Are you saying that without your support, I cannot become the Ghost King?"

"If that's the case, shouldn't I hand over my position as Ghost King to you? You're the most suitable person to be Ghost King, right? Hmm? Is that what you mean?"

Upon hearing Yulan's words, the ghost prime minister immediately knelt on the ground and replied, "Your Majesty, I am terrified. How could I dare to have such a thought? My loyalty to the Ghost King is as clear as the sun and moon, and as evident as heaven and earth!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. If you say such a thing, I will have to commit suicide to atone for my sins! I beg the Ghost King to think carefully."

This ghost prime minister appeared extremely respectful, yet his words revealed not a trace of submission or respect. Lin Yaoxie found the prime minister's reaction rather intriguing.

Yulan, enraged, laughed instead, looking at the kneeling ghost prime minister below, and continued, "Don't think I don't know what you've done! Father asked you to assist me, but you know best what you're really thinking!"

“You secretly contacted the vengeful spirits in Purgatory. Not only that, but when I was injured and unconscious, you also bewitched people, causing those vengeful spirits to constantly provoke Purgatory. Many of them even escaped from Purgatory.”

"I want to ask you, Ghost Prime Minister, wasn't it you who took charge of state affairs while I was injured? And how did all the vengeful spirits in this purgatory escape? I think you know that too."

"Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I don't know. It's because I've turned a blind eye time and time again out of respect for my father. But now you're only pushing your luck further."

"Do you feel that I am not qualified to be the Ghost King of this Reincarnation Realm? Do you think that only you deserve to sit in this position? I know exactly what you are thinking."

"Aren't you a little late in trying to play the saint here? Do you really think you've taken control of the Reincarnation Realm? Ghost Prime Minister, you'd better stop this, or I won't let you off easy."

To everyone's surprise, the ghostly prime minister, upon hearing Yulan's words, gave a sinister smile, then stood up, stared directly at Yulan, and continued:

"Yulan, I've practically watched you grow up. You and your father are of the same generation. That's why I've let a young girl like you act so arrogantly here for so many years. But don't forget, I am, after all, your elder!"

"My experience far surpasses yours!"

Chapter 261 The Villain Appears?

Yulan originally thought that although the Prime Minister was hateful, he was, after all, her father's friend and someone who had been through thick and thin with him, so she had been tolerating him.

Moreover, they had basically turned a blind eye to the outrageous things the Ghost Prime Minister had done, but they never expected that this person would be so shameless and unrestrained.

Yulan had already warned him directly in such a public setting, but he still didn't repent. Instead, he stood up, looked at Yulan, and his face was full of disdain and malice.

At this moment, Yulan probably deeply regrets her past kindness, which allowed such an ambitious person to stay by her side.

Looking at Yulan's increasingly pale face, the Ghost Prime Minister smiled and said:

"Back then, your father entrusted you to me, asking me to assist you in becoming the Ghost King, and I did it! You are indeed the Ghost King now, but what have I gained in return?"

"Can't I become the Ghost King? Why must you, a clueless young girl, wield such power? Why can't you give it to me? You've fallen in love with the Heavenly Court..."

Can a ghost king of the middle class still be called a ghost king?

"Submission, do you know how good it feels to make someone submit? Yulan, you must understand that this position has always been subject to many changes, so don't blame me!"

"If I can't take this position from your father, then I'll definitely take it from you!"

After finishing his words, the Ghost Prime Minister burst into laughter, his sinister and triumphant smile filling the entire space. Yulan, seeing the smug Ghost Prime Minister and noticing the large number of officials gathering around him, turned pale with anger.

Yulan was still recovering from her injuries when she was angered by this, and her anger surged to the point that her hand pointing at the Ghost Prime Minister trembled slightly. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
