Chapter 320: Chapter 320: The Ghost King Forces a Marriage!
Everyone at the seaside was gazing at Huang Xiaolong now with astonished eyes.
Wuu wuu wuu wuu
The eerie wind circled around Huang Xiaolong six times, no more, no less.
After six rounds, the eerie qi soared and lingered above Huang Xiaolong’s head, showing no sign of dissipating.
“Hehehehe” Huang Xiaolong laughed foolishly.
“No… no way… People from the Qin Dynasty, they… they also like… um…” The enchanting young girl cast an oddly bizarre glance at Huang Xiaolong. “Master… con… congratulations, you can now marry a Ghost King…”
“Shut up!” Huang Xiaolong sternly rebuked.
Yue Dazhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Phew Master, the Ghost King has finally chosen his beloved… Ah, this time, Master you are sacrificing your life for righteousness, for the greater good, to save the suffering people…”
“You shut up too!” Huang Xiaolong spoke threateningly.
Then, Huang Xiaolong cast a mysterious glance at the gloomy sea surface, sneering, “You had it so good, but messed with me! Alright then, if you’re so eager for death, I’ll happily oblige!”
Because he knew that this Ghost King had never harmed people and was considered a good ghost, Huang Xiaolong had always been kind to it and had never imposed the ghost suppressive aura directly on it.
Instead, he facilitated its wishes and presided over a ghost marriage for it himself.
But who could have guessed that the Ghost King would obsess over Huang Xiaolong?
Huang Xiaolong’s sexual orientation was very normal. Even the alluring Gui Mengyao, clad in her purple dress, couldn’t shake Huang Xiaolong’s resolve, let alone a male water ghost!
In the blink of an eye, murderous intentions flooded Huang Xiaolong’s heart, and he prepared to use the ghost suppressor’s power to kill this ungrateful Ghost King on the spot!
Wuu
Above the sea surface, an eerie wind blew mightily!
All of a sudden!
Puff
As if a sharp sword had split the sea open!
Dash through the mountain, cut through the sea! This was an incredible power, a potent Sword Qi that seemed capable of obliterating everything!
“Hahaha you actually revealed yourself! Very well! I’ll play along!” Huang Xiaolong sneered, his entire body’s cells crazily spiked with thrill.
The Ghost King had revealed itself! It was the strongest enemy Huang Xiaolong had ever encountered in the world of the living, unmatched by anyone else!
Huang Xiaolong suppressed the ghost suppressor’s aura, ready to engage in a real skirmish with the Ghost King, to beat it into submission! To beat it to death! To shatter its soul!
Under the moonlight, a figure slowly ascended from the seabed!
Suddenly! An absolutely astonishing scene appeared!
Under the moonlight, the figure turned out to be a young girl dressed in ancient attire!
It was a female!
She appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long, flowing hair reaching down to her shoulders, a figure as sharp as a knife’s edge, waist as thin as a silk ribbon. Her face seemed to glow in radiant beauty, and her skin was smooth as jade. She appeared elegant and ethereal!
The young girl rose to the sea surface, staring at Huang Xiaolong, she began to approach the shore one step at a time.
At this moment, bathed in the moonlight, she looked like the fairy of the moon palace stepping out, or the captivating beauty walked out from an ancient scroll!
As beautiful as she was, on her back, she carried a longsword. This sword of ancient design, though yet to be unsheathed, was exuding an aura sharp enough to cut through anything!
‘What a mix-up…’ Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but chuckle, ‘When we communicated using Biantext earlier, I assumed that this Ghost King was a male ghost. A ghost wedding meant finding a living person to be his wife. But…I was wrong… it’s a female ghost… and what’s more, it’s a shockingly beautiful female ghost from the Qin Dynasty…’
Objectively speaking, the Ghost King before him, beauty-wise, might have a slim edge over the purple-clad Gui Mengyao!
Moreover, it had a sharp air about it, like an unparalleled swordsman!
“Ghost King…” Huang Xiaolong gathered his thoughts and smiled slightly.
As for Yue Dazhuang and the others, they were already in awe of the girl’s beauty, so much so that they couldn’t move their eyes away. Dumbfounded, they stared at the girl ghost king, unable to breathe, their feet unable to move an inch!
The girl giggled sweetly, her cheeks showing a hint of blushing, as she said to Huang Xiaolong, “I might as well enter into a ghost marriage with you to dispel the resentment. From now on, I promise to protect you as your wife. You owe me no gratitude…hee hee… you don’t need to kneel down and thank me…”
Although the girl’s words were veiled, the people on the shore naturally understood her. In simple terms, she was offering to marry Huang Xiaolong, and then protect him for the rest of his life, while telling Huang Xiaolong not to feel beholden, nor to kneel down in thanks.
At this moment, the jealousy of Yue Dazhuang and others towards Huang Xiaolong was burning like wild fire!
Damn it, how can he be this lucky?
As strong as he might be, he still was just a man. Now, a Ghost King is willing to marry him and protect him for his entire life. And the crucial part is this Ghost King is so beautiful, with a heavenly appearance and evidently a very powerful character…
What a steal!!!!
“Hahahaha” Huang Xiaolong laughed out loud. “Interesting, very interesting… You protect me? Hahahaha I’m dying of laughter… What is your name?”
The girl chuckled. “I am your betrothed wife. My name is Ying Kexin.”
“Ying Kexin…” Huang Xiaolong’s smile didn’t fade. “Well… as it happens… among the ghost kings I’ve encountered in the world of the living, there’s only been you. It’s not easy to become a Ghost King in this realm. So, I won’t kill you. Besides, you have a good heart and have never hurt anyone… why don’t you stay by my side as my maid.”
Upon hearing this, Yue Dazhuang and the others were inexplicably shocked.
‘Master, you’re awesome! You actually made a Ghost King work as your maid… You are really amazing…’ Yue Dazhuang wrote a huge mental note of admiration for Huang Xiaolong.
“Hee hee hee” Ying Kexin giggled, but her beautiful face turned icy cold, her ghostly aura billowing. “I, Ying Kexin, am of royal blood, the chief swordsman of the Great Qin… You want me to be your maid? Hee hee heehee? Are you asking me to break my principle and kill?”
As she spoke, her resentful aura rose wildly and a cold wind blew over the sea. Her face distorted as if unable to suppress the resentment inside her!
“Is your resentment about to explode… are you going through with this ghost marriage?” Ying Kexin asked menacingly. “If you don’t, then I won’t hold back! I’ll annihilate everything within dozens of miles from here. Not even a blade of grass will be spared!”
“Ha” Huang Xiaolong sneered disdainfully.
So what if she’s a Ghost King?
Isn’t the Underworld filled with Ghost Kings?
It’s just that they are extremely rare in the world of the living!
A Ghost King wanting to climb up the social ladder and marry a ghost emissary?
Frankly, she’s not worth it.
“Haha, you even want to force a marriage?” Huang Xiaolong shook his head slightly. “Alright, considering the fact that you haven’t harmed any living thing in over two thousand years, I won’t argue with you for now. Let’s first dispel your built-up resentment.”
Earlier, Huang Xiaolong knew that a ghost marriage could dissolve the resentment inside a Ghost King, so he wasn’t planning on doing it himself, just to save himself some trouble as a ghost marriage is simple. It’s efficient, and a one-time solution.
But now, Huang Xiaolong had no choice but to make an effort himself.
“Heeheeheehee A ghost marriage is the only surefire way to dissolve the resentment inside me. You might have some Taoist powers, but if you think you can subjugate the resentment inside me, that’s wishful thinking…” Ying Kexin sneered.
Without saying another word, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged, looking solemn and dignified.
All around, there was complete silence.
