Wanbao Lady

Chapter 438 Return

"What do you mean by this?"

The Ghost King asked humbly.

The woman was silent for a moment, as if organizing her words in her mind. After a while, she said slowly:

"Let me ask you a question."

"But it doesn't matter."

"If your cultivation level really drops, what will happen to Xisha Country?"

Hearing this, the Ghost King said without hesitation: "Except for my beloved concubine and one Dongxu Ghost King who will be worried and busy for me, the other Dongxu Ghost Kings will all try every means to pull me down, and then the fighting will continue until the real strongest one is decided and becomes the new uncrowned king of Xisha Country!"

He knows his subordinates very well!

When he is in power, they are obedient dogs.

Once he is in a weak position, they will be wolves coveting the throne.

Maybe they will join forces to tear him, the old king, into pieces!

The Ghost King looked calm and continued, "Even my old enemy in the north would applaud if he heard the news! Then he would reach out to Xisha Country and gradually devour the entire Xisha Country, becoming the nourishment of the Ghost Country."

As he spoke, the Ghost King gradually came to his senses and could not help but sigh softly, "Daoyou are truly kind-hearted."

He got it.

Saving him was not out of magnanimity, but because the Paracel Islands still needed him, that's all.

If he falls, the entire Xisha Kingdom will be in turmoil in an instant, with internal strife and endless civil unrest. The ghost country will take the opportunity to invade, and ordinary people will be abducted and become two-legged sheep.

By then, blood will flow for thousands of miles and bones will be exposed in the wild.

Chongfan looked at the city in the distance in silence.

The reason I asked those three questions was to see whether the person was worth saving.

Although this Ghost King has various shortcomings and has a feud with his own family, he is not a good person in the secular sense.

But the world is not black and white.

He is the tallest among the short ones. He has at least some integrity, strength and reputation. He is pretty decent.

Just like the emperors and ministers in previous lives, although the ministers have various shortcomings or stains, as long as they do not involve bottom line issues, they can still be useful to the country. After a warning, they should continue to be used.

Everything is focused on the overall situation.

-

Border, yellow sand belt.

Looking at the dark sky that was about to break dawn, the monks of the Great Zhou Kingdom and the ghosts of the Xisha Kingdom looked in the direction of the Xisha Kingdom for a while, then stared at each other, and then all turned their eyes away.

Out of sight is pure.

"Ah, when will the queen and the others come back?"

"I guess... it should be soon!"

On the sand, the monks sat cross-legged, bored, and some even drew sand paintings on the ground.

"Could he be in danger?" someone asked worriedly.

"How can that be possible..."

As soon as the words fell, someone suddenly shouted, "Look! They're back!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately stood up and stretched their necks to watch.

"Oh, I'm really back!"

"Great!"

But in the distant sky, three streams of light flew quickly and crossed the sky.

After a while, it transformed into three figures in mid-air.

But that ghost king...why did he seem to have changed his clothes? He didn't seem to be wearing the same clothes before he left? Also, his face seemed to have become even paler...

Some sharp-eyed monks and ghosts noticed this and couldn't help but look puzzled.

The monks from Yudu Mountain immediately flew forward and looked at their family members carefully. Seeing that no one was injured, they breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

At the same time, they all agreed not to ask too many questions, but just said in unison: "Welcome back, Madam!"

Seeing this, Chongfan smiled and nodded, then looked at everyone and said loudly: "Thank you all!"

"Hahaha, no, no, I'm glad that you return safely." Meng Baisheng said first.

Even the other monks had smiles on their faces, looking relaxed.

After a moment, the Ghost King also looked at the ghosts and said loudly:

"This matter is over. From now on, the past is wiped out! If anyone causes trouble for the people in Yudu Mountain again, it will be against me! Do you understand?"

Hearing this, the ghosts shouted in unison: "Understood!"

It seems like something is wrong? But it seems nothing is wrong...

The big and small ghost kings looked at each other, their minds in turmoil, and remained silent.

-

As daylight gradually broke, the city gate opened again, and now, all the monks rushed into the border.

The interest on his face has not faded, and his expression is still full of aftertaste.

"Now, I have seen the legendary Jade Ferry Master and the Ghost King of Xisha. I must have a good talk with my fellow apprentices when I return!"

"Hahaha, I'm going to write this into my travel journal!"

"Hey, don't you think that when the Ghost King of Xisha came back, his attitude seemed a little strange?"

"Yeah, so you noticed it too. I also felt that he seemed a little... not as arrogant as before?"

"And it seems... that you have some... respect for that lady?"

After hearing this, the faces of the people who were talking together suddenly became enlightened.

That's right! That look, that shout, clearly showed respect!

"Hiss - what on earth did those three go to do? Why did they look so different when they came back?"

There is more than one person who is worried and anxious.

-

After returning to Mozhou, Chongfan smiled helplessly at the curious looks of his friends.

"This matter... can be considered as me helping the other party a small favor!"

She then looked at Zhuang Xian, "By the way, Mr. Zhuang, I have a gift for you. It should be an apology for your troubles these days and a farewell gift!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Xian stroked his gray beard and laughed, "What do you mean by bothering me? I really want you to discuss these interesting things with me!"

Looking at the treasure box in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the woman in front of him said meaningfully: "This thing is extraordinary. I think Mr. Zhuang will like it."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xian was stunned.

Seeing the deep meaning in the other person's eyes, he changed his mind and accepted it happily.

"Then it would be disrespectful for this old man to refuse, hahaha!"

-

Qin Lingshan will continue to accompany her mother and help her realize her wish in the last moments of her life.

After reluctantly bidding farewell, Chongfan and a group of Yudushan disciples boarded the Jiao boat and returned to Qingzhou together.

A few days later.

On the observatory.

Looking at the Yihua Lantern in front of him and thinking about the confession that the Ghost King had made to him that day, Chongfan's eyes sank slightly.

The conversation with the Ghost King that day when I was about to return to the border emerged in my mind.

......

"Fellow Daoist, do you know why I am so obsessed with this Xilun Holy Mountain? I even have a fluke, thinking that I can break the barrier with my own strength and get in?"

"Isn't it for the sacred spring?"

"That's one thing. More importantly... during the war between humans and demons, I saw someone go in with my own eyes, and even after coming out, his strength increased greatly!"

"This... this person is..."

"This person is the monk in charge of your Great Zhou—the Princess!"
