Chapter 319: Chapter 319 What the Hell Does This Mean?
Even though their hearts might not be willing, upon hearing Huang Xiaolong mention the benefits of marrying the Ghost King, these girls of the wind and dust couldn’t help but look at him with curiosity.
“Honestly, I’m speechless… Your IQs are worrisome!” Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “In some places, there is a tradition. When children are weak and often sick during their childhood, parents would give them in adoption to the gods worshipped in temples or Taoist altars… It’s for their protection. But, think about it. There are so many people thanking the gods, even marrying them… how can these gods have the time to bless and care for everyone?”
“So, some directly give their children to ghosts. Ghosts, like gods, can also provide protection. Plus, those who worship ghosts or marry them are few and far between… They would receive more affection and protection.”
Huang Xiaolong, with a very serious face, didn’t look like he was joking at all. “Now, I’m asking you to marry the Ghost King. Do you know what concept a Ghost King is? It’s like a towering existence. With it protecting you, you can stand tall in this world! Whatever you do will go smoothly, you will become rich in business, you will top the exams, anyone who offends you will be utterly defeated by the Ghost King… Besides, the Ghost King won’t interfere with your private life. Just need you to sincerely worship it, burn incense and joss paper for it every day… it’s like spending a small amount for a huge return, having your own protective deity is much more useful than any amulet!”
“Nowadays, many wealthy people have established ancestral graves, praying for a change of luck… Marriage luck, business luck, official luck, investment turnover, wealth luck, avoiding days in jail, prolonging life, investment turnover, academic luck, praying for blessings in the face of incurable diseases… But Could any of these compare with marrying a Ghost King? The difference is like heaven and earth!”
Upon hearing what Huang Xiaolong had to say, the group of girls suddenly saw the light!
“That’s great! I thought we had to…ugh! That would be disgusting! Since we don’t have to…I…I’m getting married!”
“I want to marry the Ghost King! I want to marry the Ghost King! The Ghost King must be cool!”
“Wow, if he’s from the Qin Dynasty, would he be as handsome as Little Long?”
“With the protection of Ghost King, I’ll definitely make a fortune in the future. I might even become a star!”
Without question, Huang Xiaolong successfully piqued these glamor girls’ interests. They actually volunteered to marry the Ghost King!
In reality, Huang Xiaolong wasn’t just gassing them up. For an average mortal to marry a Ghost King, it’s like blessings amassed from ten generations! This is no exaggeration at all!
If it weren’t for the fact that the Ghost King of this sea area could no longer suppress his resentment, it would never stoop so low as to marry a commoner.
“This time… you guys really lucked out…” Huang Xiaolong shook his head somewhat speechlessly, murmuring, “A bunch of wayward fallen women actually have the opportunity to marry a Ghost King. In city people’s words, it’s just doggone good luck!”
“All right, time’s pressing. The Ghost King’s resentment can’t be suppressed much longer. You all go stand by the shore,” commanded Huang Xiaolong. “Marrying the Ghost King is an incredibly honorable thing. But he’s not just any commoner, he also needs to make his pick… So, stand in line and the Ghost King will make his selection…”
While speaking, Huang Xiaolong arranged the girls in a line along the shore.
In total, there were sixteen girls.
All clad in three-piece swimsuits, each sporting a stunning figure. Some were petite and delicate, others were statuesque, and others still were voluptuous…
In all shapes and sizes, of course.
“Pfft… This feels weird, the Ghost King is like a john and these women are like… hahaha…” Standing on the side, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but burst into laughter, not able to finish his thought.
Yue Dazhuang and the others quickly ran over to Huang Xiaolong.
“Stand straight, be alert,” Huang Xiaolong bellowed.
The girls’ faces were bashfully alluring as they coquettishly posed, their eyes filled with anticipation.
The next second, Huang Xiaolong drew mysterious symbols in the air with his fingers, conjuring them into the ocean floor.
After finishing the incantation, Huang Xiaolong waited with a cheerful smile.
A few minutes later, ghostly symbols began forming on the surface of the sea. After reading them, Huang Xiaolong nodded with satisfaction. “Okay, when the ghost wind starts, don’t be scared. If the wind swirls around someone six times, that means the Ghost King has taken a liking to that person.”
The very next second!
Wooo
Just as Huang Xiaolong predicted, a column of ghost wind rose from the sea surface!
And this wind was visible to the naked eye!
The wind, appearing like a black serpent, instantly reached the shore.
The sixteen young girls, standing in a row, watched the wind as it arrived beside the first girl.
The first girl had a round face, belonging to the cute type, was seen clenching her fists and whispering to herself, “Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!”
Woo
To her dismay, the wind did not stay beside her and instead moved directly towards the second girl.
“I’m furious! Why didn’t he pick me? I’m so pretty and cute, I’m only seventeen, why not me? Ghost King, you’ve made me so angry! You are blind!” The girl who was not chosen stomped her feet in a fit of pique.
Suddenly
Woo!!!
The wind turned around and sent the cursing girl flying several meters away, falling into a disastrous heap with blood flowing from her nose.
“Huh If you disrespect ghosts and gods, bear your own consequences,” Huang Xiaolong coldly sneered.
All the girls fell silent.
The Ghost King continued his selection.
Woo The wind bypassed the second girl.
Woo
Woo
Woo
Before long, the wind had quickly swept past all 16 girls without lingering, and certainly not swirling six times around any one of them.
“Really? He doesn’t like any of them?” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat stumped.
“Master… I think these girls… all of them come from questionable backgrounds. Although they’re young, they all seem to be fallen women…” Yue Dazhuang whispered into Huang Xiaolong’s ear. “Given the Ghost King’s status, he must be very discerning… He certainly wouldn’t be interested in these tramps… perhaps we should switch to a better batch?”
Huang Xiaolong frowned. “Time’s a bit tight, we only have one hour. In one hour, if the Ghost King still hasn’t chosen a bride, then his resentment might burst out, causing widespread disaster.”
“In that case, get all the young, unmarried women you know! Right now!” Huang Xiaolong’s expression became somewhat stern.
“The unmarried women I know?” Yue Dazhuang hesitated. “Master, I don’t know that many young women…”
“Damn it!” Huang Xiaolong cursed under his breath. “Never mind, I’ll call my wife. She has loads of students at her school, I’ll get her to bring them over…”
Just then!
Woo
The wind came to Huang Xiaolong!
Amazingly, it started circling around Huang Xiaolong!
Woo
The second circle!
Woo
The third circle!
“What in the… what the hell does this mean?” Huang Xiaolong was stunned beyond words!
