Chapter 170 The Resentful Female Ghost's Jealousy Burns Her Heart
Hua Cheng raised his hand slightly, lifted up the silver butterfly, and brought it to Xie Lian's ear. As the silver butterfly fluttered, he heard Pei Ming's voice coming from the other side: "Little fool, did you hear any strange noises?"
Maybe it was because Pei Ming had been playing with flowers for a long time, even though it was clear that he had no such intentions towards Ban Yue, it still made people feel a little strange. Ban Yue said sullenly: "I'm not stupid... I heard it. This sound is so strange, I don't think it's General Hua and the others who have returned."
Of course not! Because that was clearly the "dong, dong" sound of Xuan Ji jumping on the ground with her broken leg!
After a few knocks, the two people on the other end fell silent. Instead, there was a woman's wild laughter of "Hehe, hehe, hahahaha..."
The laughter echoed in the empty underground city, and then passed through the silver butterfly, with a little noise, which was even more terrifying than hearing it right next to her. Of course, it was Xuan Ji who was laughing because she finally saw Pei Ming and was filled with joy and hatred.
Xie Lian asked, “Didn’t the silver butterfly lead her in the opposite direction?”
Hua Cheng said: "She is smarter than I thought."
It turned out that Xuan Ji had been running after the dead butterfly at an incredible speed, and she ran to the end of the street without seeing anything. After all, she was also a female general who had been on the battlefield, and she immediately realized that she had been led away. Logically, she should have returned to Qi Rong immediately after realizing it, but she was determined to find Pei Ming, so she ran in the opposite direction and forgot about her boss Qi Rong.
Xie Lian was inexplicably amused, and he quickly led the captives who had escaped to the Wuyong Temple in the center of the town. The ghost girl Xuan Ji had waited for Pei Ming for too long. Just by listening to her laughter, one could imagine what a crazy and twisted face she had at this moment. Pei Ming was probably also shocked by her. After a long while of shock, he said, "You are..."
Xuan Ji sneered. Unexpectedly, after a pause, Pei Ming asked, "Who are you?"
“…”
Xuan Ji's voice was trembling with hatred: "You...are you deliberately trying to piss me off? You actually asked me who I am?!"
Xie Lian wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “No way, General Pei… Is he doing this on purpose or is he really unable to recognize me?”
Hua Cheng said: "I'm afraid it's the latter."
After all, if the legend is true, then Pei Ming has befriended at least a thousand beauties over the past few hundred years. How could he remember every one of them? Moreover, they were old lovers from hundreds of years ago. Moreover, he had also let Xiao Pei handle the last incident with the Junshan Ghost Bride. He did not show up at all, nor did he even look at Xuan Ji.
Xuan Ji murmured to herself, "Yes. You are just trying to piss me off. I won't be fooled. Haha. You want to lie to me and say you don't remember me, you want to lie to me, haha."
After mumbling, her voice became shrill again, and she asked, "Pei Ming, who is this little bitch? Aren't you always picky? Why, are you planning to change your taste this time?"
Half Moon: “?”
Pei Ming: “???”
Although both of them raised doubts, the resentful tone seemed to evoke Pei Ming's memory. He frowned slightly and asked: "Xuan Ji? Why did you become like this?"
Xie Lian then remembered that Xuan Ji must have had her hair dishevelled at this moment. Her eyes were the red color of an evil ghost, and she was wearing a bright red wedding dress with a dirty hem. She was crawling slowly and sinisterly on the ground like a crocodile. This was what they had just seen. It was really impossible to connect her like this with the heroic female general she was in her lifetime. Xuan Ji got angry when he asked her this, and said, "Why did I become like this? You actually asked me why I became like this! It's all your fault. I did this all for you!"
Hua Cheng had been listening intently, and any slight movement could not escape his ears. He said, "She rushed towards the protective circle."
Xie Lian was not worried and said, “Ruo Xie can handle it.”
As expected, a scream came from the silver butterfly, and Xuan Ji, who pounced on it, was certainly repelled by Ruo Xie and flew more than ten feet away. Pei Ming's voice said, "Your Highness, this is really a good magic weapon. I will refine one someday."
Xie Lian thought, “If you knew how it was made, you wouldn’t say that…” Before he could let go of the thought, he heard Pei Ming yell, “What are you doing?! Stop it!”
Xuan Ji also shouted: "Don't even think about hiding in there!"
Boom boom boom!
As Xie Lian hurried on, he asked in astonishment, “What was that sound? What collapsed? What did Xuan Ji do?”
Hua Cheng walked side by side with him all the time and said, "She pushed down the temple. The stone ceiling collapsed."
It turned out that Xuan Ji was bounced off by Ruo Xie's protective circle and couldn't get into the circle. She lost her temper and collapsed the entire temple. Xie Lian said, "Are General Pei and the others okay? Xiao Pei and Ban Yue are here too!" Especially Pei Su, he is a mortal now, don't let him get crushed. Hua Cheng said, "It's okay. Pei Ming protected them."
At the moment when the stone roof collapsed with a rumble, Pei Ming acted as a human shield, protecting Pei Su, Ban Yue and the others. Xie Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine. The protective circle can't be broken."
Over there, Pei Ming smashed the stone slab that was pressing on him with one punch and said angrily: "What are you crazy about? You can't get in even if you collapse the sky!" Xuan Ji laughed loudly, and Ban Yue said in surprise: "General Pei, be careful!" Pei Ming said: "What..."
This series of reactions happened almost instantly. In the midst of this chaos, Xie Lian also heard the sound of a sharp sword piercing through a chest. There was no doubt that Pei Ming was stabbed by the sword. He asked, "What happened?! Who stabbed General Pei? The protective circle was broken? Impossible... Wait, a sword?"
In an instant, he finally understood Xuan Ji's purpose.
I see!
Xuan Ji had laughed enough and said coldly, "Who said I want to come in?"
Another voice suddenly appeared and laughed: "Hey Pei Ming, look who this is? Your old lover Xuan Ji is here!"
Rong Guang!
It turned out that Xuan Ji did not destroy the temple out of anger or madness, nor did she want to enter the protective circle. Her purpose was to let the collapsed stone roof smash the two pottery jars that Banyue had placed in the circle, release the ghosts trapped inside, and let them break out from the inside of the protective circle!
After Rong Guang escaped from the jar, he could not wait to break the protective circle formed by Ruo Xie, and stabbed Pei Ming with a sword. Pei Ming seemed to want to pull him out, but Rong Guang refused to do so, and stuck him firmly, saying: "Don't even think about it! Die!"
Pei Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Master Ban Yue! Is the other jar okay?!" Xuan Ji and Rong Guang attacked from both sides. If there was one more Ke Mo, it would be the end. Ban Yue said, "No! The Ke Mo is still inside!"
The situation was critical, and Xie Lian felt a little anxious. Just as he was about to quicken his pace, Hua Cheng suddenly stopped. Xie Lian was stunned and turned around and asked, "San Lang?"
Another dead butterfly perched on the back of Hua Cheng's hand, as if it was quietly telling him about some new changes. After listening, he raised his head and said, "Brother, don't worry. I think we don't have to rush over."
Over there, Rong Guang's sword pierced Pei Ming's chest, and Xuan Ji, like a red gecko, grabbed his boots and climbed up his thighs. Her clothes, makeup, and the ghost fire on her head all looked like a crazy female ghost. Pei Ming said, "You...!"
Xuan Ji murmured: "Pei Lang... Pei Lang!..."
Her two broken legs and her entire body were completely twisted, entangled with Pei Ming's body. In this position, she really didn't know whether to strangle him to death or hug him tightly. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Pei Su who was protected by Pei Ming. Thinking of Pei Ming's cold and indifferent descendant who suppressed her under the mountain last time, she gritted her teeth and said, "This little bastard!"
Just as one claw was about to go down, another hand suddenly appeared and stopped her. The two wrists were equally pale. Looking closely, they were half-moons. Xuan Ji felt anxious when she saw another woman beside Pei Ming. She said, "I haven't taken your life yet, you little bitch, but you're delivering yourself to me!"
After cursing, she reached out with her other hand to grab Banyue's forehead. However, Banyue was not one of those obedient little brides waiting to be tickled to death by her, and Xuanji's other wrist was also accurately intercepted by her. Xuanji was a female general in her lifetime, and she knew that she was much stronger than many men. Ordinary women and ghosts would only be beaten by her. Unexpectedly, this little girl looked so thin and weak that she could be blown down by a gust of wind, but her hand strength was terrifying, and she seemed to be even stronger than her. Not only did she lock her wrists to prevent her from moving, but when their eyes met, Xuanji was even more surprised. The little girl's eyes were actually full of murderous intent and ruthlessness, like a piece of wind, sand and knife light, which reminded her of the battlefield. She felt a palpitation and waved her hand away. Banyue grabbed Pei Su, and with her strength, she flipped several feet away, landed lightly, and said: "Let go of General Pei!"
Rong Guang said in the Mingguang Sword: "Pei Ming, you are still so lucky. See? The two female ghosts are jealous of you! Hahaha..."
Xuan Ji's entire body twisted around Pei Ming like a bloody giant python, her ten fingers locked around Pei Ming's throat, and she said coldly, "You little lover are quite capable."
Pei Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood and said, "I didn't! She is not my lover."
Xuan Ji said, "You still want to deny it! If she wasn't your lover, why would she let me let you go?"
Pei Ming said: "If my mother were here, she would also ask you to let me go. According to you, does that mean my mother is also my lover?"
It was all because of his frivolous nature, calling people little fools for no reason. Xuan Ji was not willing to believe him now, and was jealous to the point of going crazy: "What? You don't dare to admit it? Didn't you call her affectionately? Didn't you admit it directly when you had a new love before? You didn't care about my feelings at all and confessed to me. Do you know how painful it was for me? Why don't you dare to admit it now?! Is it you, General Pei, who is afraid of death? Or do you really like her so much that you can't bear to let me touch her?!"
In the distance of the temple, Xie Lian watched from afar for a while, and felt that he couldn’t just stand there and watch any longer, so he turned around and said, “Sanlang, how about we go up and rescue them first?”
Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. Someone will come forward on our behalf. Besides, even if we go up now, Xuan Ji will still hold Pei Ming tightly and won't let go."
That's true. With hostages in hand, it's inconvenient. Yinyu and several farmers were also very nervous and said, "Yes, it seems that the female ghost is going crazy because of love and hatred." "I don't think so. She definitely can't do it. Want some melon seeds?" "Give me another handful, thank you."
Xie Lian asked, “How come you guys are still in the mood to eat melon seeds now?”
Everyone asked, "Your Highness, didn't you eat a lot?"
“Huh?” Xie Lian realized that he had already eaten all the melon seeds that the person next to him had handed to him when he was so absorbed in watching the feast. He covered his forehead with his hands and said, “This, this is really rude…”
Pei Ming couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Xuan Ji, can you please stop thinking about everything in that way? It's been so many years, can't we just part ways in peace? Why are you doing this?"
Xuan Ji pinched his neck with both hands and tightened her grip, her eyes wide open as she said, "No! You provoked me and I want to part ways amicably? No way!"
Pei Ming sighed: "You really haven't changed at all. That's why we can't have a good outcome."
Xuan Ji suddenly forced her face in front of him and said angrily, "I'm like this? What's wrong with me? Am I not beautiful enough? You said I was beautiful! Didn't I want to give you the formation map and secrets of the Rain Master Kingdom? It was you who refused! Don't I love you enough?! You said you don't like me, but I'm strong. I don't even want these legs! Who can love you more than me?! But what about you? You refused to even look at me for hundreds of years! When did you come to see me?!"
Pei Ming pushed her face away and said, "I didn't come because I knew you would go crazy when I saw you!"
Xuan Ji grabbed the sword that had pierced his chest, thrust it in a few inches, and then pulled it out. Pei Ming vomited several mouthfuls of blood again. Xuan Ji's eyes lit up, and she shouted, "Speak! Swear in your name as a priest that you will only have me from now on, and swear that you will never look at another woman again. If you look at another woman, one of your eyes will rot!"
Rong Guang also gloated and said, "Hurry up and tell me, Pei Ming. If you tell me, you can save your life!"
Pei Ming cursed, "Shut up! Damn it. I didn't expect that Pei didn't die on the battlefield or under the sword of the best sword in the world, but died at the hands of a crazy female ghost!"
Xuan Ji was completely enraged by him because she couldn't get the answer she wanted. She grabbed his crown. Xie Lian couldn't wait any longer. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword behind his back and said, "Sanlang, I think the situation is a bit critical. Can the person you mentioned make it? If not, I'll go first!"
Hua Cheng said: "I can catch up. Brother, look, it's coming soon, isn't it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Ji, who was extremely angry, froze.
She seemed to be cast under a spell, her expression and movements were all frozen. Pei Ming had been stabbed back and forth by her with the sword for five or six times, and blood was spitting all over the ground. Suddenly, in the darkness over there, there was a crisp sound of cow hooves.
Not too fast, not too slow, but a man riding a black bull appeared in front of everyone.
The person riding the black bull was a girl in green, with clear eyes and a calm expression. She slowly approached, slightly raised her head, as if she was looking far away. Pei Ming's lips were all bloody, and he was stunned for a moment, and said: "... Lord of the Rain Master Kingdom?"
The girl lowered her head slightly, looked at him, her expression unchanged, smiled slightly, and bowed her head in return.
Xie Lian was also surprised and asked, “…The Lord of the Rain Master Kingdom?”
Hua Cheng said: "Yes. The current Rain Master of the Upper Heaven, the sixteenth princess of the Rain Master Kingdom, Yu Shi Huang, is also the last ruler of the Rain Master Kingdom."
