Chapter 79 Why Go Back
"Do you want to die or go to Avici with me?" I was too lazy to say anything more and just asked calmly.
When Mu Lu heard about going to Avici City, his face suddenly changed, and he asked hesitantly: "My lord, the Ghost King Tongtian in Avici City is not easy to deal with!"
"Nonsense, our king summoned you to attack Avici and give you wealth and honor, but you are still talking nonsense here, you are really looking for death!" The clever ghost jumped out and walked around Mu Lu, looking like he was superior to others and stepping on others.
"Yes, yes, yes. The king thinks highly of me, Mu Lu. Mu Lu will fight to the death for the king. The king is wise and powerful, and is comparable to the Great Sheng Ghost King! Mu Lu's worship of the king is like a surging river that cannot be stopped."
"Shut up! Follow me." I waved my hand impatiently to interrupt, signaling the people carrying the sedan to hurry up. I used to enjoy the flattery and service of the clever ghost. But after knowing the clever ghost's life experience, this enjoyment turned into deep disgust.
No matter how nice the compliments are, there is always ugliness behind them. Everything is illusory, and it is ridiculous that you are still complacent in the illusion.
At this moment, my mood changed unconsciously, and I didn't even notice it.
Shi Qian also took the soul-locking chain and continued to move forward with me.
Mu Lu looked around, then looked at my back with a complicated look in his eyes. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Brothers, follow me to attack Abi City. The king will give you wealth and honor."
It took a whole day and night to reach Avici City because of the detour. In the meantime, the number of people kept expanding, from just over a hundred to more than ten thousand people stationed at the foot of Avici City.
The situation in Avici City suddenly became extremely tense. The gate had already been quietly closed. The ghost soldiers on the top of the city looked down nervously.
"Surrender, and tell your Ghost King Tongtian to come out."
"If the king is happy , it would be nice to marry this girl, and he can also give you a chance to live!"
Although I grouped these bandits together, they still couldn't change their bandit habits. As soon as they gained a foothold, the leaders who had originally occupied the mountains and ruled as kings came to the city wall with their personal guards and kept shouting and cursing.
"Shut up, I, the Ghost King , am not someone you can see. Humph, come and attack me if you have the guts!"
"You fried devils, if you dare, I will send you all back into the frying pan."
People on the city wall couldn't help but shout and curse.
I squinted my eyes and looked towards the highest point on the city wall. There was only one figure in my sight. She was wearing fluttering white clothes, like a fairy.
Who else could this be but Ningxiang? But Ningxiang's face no longer had the indifference of the past, and now had a fierce aura.
I stood up and raised my hands. The bandits around me immediately shut up. They looked at me with strange eyes. But no one dared to speak.
On the city wall, Ningxiang was still wearing white clothes, looking at me without any emotion. Standing next to him were Huzi and Niuniu.
I raised my hands, as if to hug her, and waited silently. At this moment, my heart was very eager to give Ningxiang a hug.
Ningxiang still looked at me without any emotion.
I raised my hands and waited silently, as if Ningxiang would rush over and throw herself into my arms in the next moment. Even though I had never hugged Ningxiang before. Even though Ningxiang and I were more like master and servant than friends. At this moment, I just wanted Ningxiang to see me, to see that I was waiting for her and to take her back.
An incense stick of time passed. The surroundings could no longer contain their curiosity and exploration. Even the leaders around them were discussing in low voices.
"Mulu, what do you think the king is doing?"
"How can you and I guess what the king is doing? I guess the king is accumulating a big move. Wait, when the king finishes his work, the wall of Avici City will be directly overturned."
“Is it that great?”
"Ahem!" Shi Qian coughed twice and glared at them fiercely. Those guys quickly shut their mouths, took small steps and ran back to their own camp, keeping a distance. Are you kidding? Every one of these guys has tried Shi Qian's soul-locking chain. No one dares to provoke Shi Qian now.
"Hey! Woman on the wall, your man is here to see you and you are blocking the door like this! Do you have any manners as a woman at all?" Shi Qian looked at me worriedly and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.
I saw Ningxiang's body tremble suddenly at this moment. It seemed that she almost fell down. Then, Ningxiang turned around and slowly walked down the tower.
Looking at Ningxiang's back , I put down my arms feeling a little disappointed.
"Ni Ge, your young lady seems to be difficult to deal with!" Shi Qian walked over and said with a smack of his lips.
"Well, they are family. Even though Ningxiang is a ghost, I already regard him as a family member." I explained with a sigh of loss and in vain.
At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened. A ghost soldier rode a horse to the middle and shouted loudly.
"My Ghost King has ordered your King to come in and talk."
I laughed when I heard the messenger's shout! Ningxiang didn't leave, but asked me to go in.
"Ni Ge, be careful, there might be something wrong. I always feel like there's something wrong with this young lady." Shi Qian hurriedly reminded.
I patted Shi Qian's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I understand Ningxiang. I came here just to find her, and now that I can see her, I have no reason to retreat. You wait here. I'm fine."
After saying that, I walked towards Avici City. Only Shi Qian was left looking at my back with a worried look on his face. There were also tens of thousands of evil spirits behind him, ready to make a move.
"The king is going to marry the Ghost King Tongtian. Brothers, why don't you congratulate the king!" The clever ghost stood up at the right time.
These words just catered to the most filthy desires in the hearts of these bandits and evil spirits, and they immediately started shouting loudly.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for taking down the Ghost King of the Sky."
I almost fell down because of the shout. I turned my head and looked at the clever ghost. I couldn't help but sigh. This guy is absolutely first-class in terms of intelligence, but he is just an unrepentant hell ghost. It's a pity. Otherwise, I would really take this clever ghost out after the end.
The messenger glanced at me coldly, then turned and ran towards the city gate.
My steps were very slow. It took me almost a cup of tea to leisurely walk to the city gate. But I had no intention of moving another step.
"Why are you scared? Now that you are here, even if you are scared, it won't be easy to go back!" The ghost soldier who delivered the message looked at me with a sneer.
I glanced at him and said calmly, "Ask your Ghost King Tongtian to pick me up."
"Hahahaha!" Everyone around me who heard this seemed to have heard the funniest joke. They all laughed so hard that they fell backwards.
I still stood there, with no expression on my face, because I knew that if I wanted to take Ningxiang out, I had to leave a deep enough impression on the ghost soldiers following him.
"Is it funny? I'll let you slap yourself in the face later."
"What a joke! If the Ghost King Tongtian hadn't sent an order to see you, do you think you would still be standing here?" The ghost soldier who sent the order said with contempt without comment.
"Make way, make way, Ghost King Ling, come and welcome the distinguished guest."
When the situation was at a stalemate.
Suddenly, another childish voice sounded. I looked up and saw Hu Zi and Niuniu sitting in a carriage, waving their hands and shouting.
I smiled. Ningxiang was still Ningxiang. She was still the gentle and considerate Ningxiang who always protected me. The reason why I stood there was not only to establish my authority, but also because I knew that Ningxiang would not let me walk from here to the Ghost King's Mansion.
The ghost soldier's face was very ugly. He looked at Hu Zi and Niuniu on the carriage, and then looked at my smiling eyes looking at him. He gritted his teeth and slapped his own company twice.
"I'm sorry, please don't blame me, dear guest."
I frowned slightly. From the moment I came into contact with Avici City, I felt that something was wrong. Now I found out what went wrong.
It’s nothing else but two words: backbone!
The bandits outside Avici City were all servile and cowardly. If they occupied this Avici City, half of them would abandon the city and flee before a team of 10,000 people arrived. But what I saw was that the ghosts of this city seemed to be full of confidence. They showed no fear in the face of the bandits.
Even though I was suppressing the messenger ghost soldier in front of me, this ghost soldier still seemed very tough.
I nodded and didn't continue to embarrass him. I turned around and got on the carriage.
"Why did you come? Do you really want to marry Sister Ningxiang?" Niu Niu asked me curiously with her big eyes blinking.
The carriage was moving slowly. But my heart was restless. I didn't know how to answer Niuniu's words. I didn't plan to marry Ningxiang because I owed Mao Xueying a promise. I just wanted to take her home. Ningxiang was just a family member in my heart. But along the way, the ghosts who followed me kept exaggerating, as if I had become a love-struck seed who traveled thousands of miles to find his wife. How could I explain this?
"Do you want to deceive Sister Ningxiang again?" Seeing that I didn't answer, Niu Niu immediately looked at me vigilantly and asked.
"Niuniu, I don't think he is a good person. Let's just not let our sister see him!" Hu Zi also responded.
"Little brat, why are you asking so many questions? Do you understand? I'm here to take you back." I responded angrily. At this moment, I was really afraid that these two brats would throw me down.
I can't hit them, and Ningxiang is standing in the middle. The tone is focused on these two people complaining. I really have a headache with Niuniu and Huzi.
"Why should I go back? I haven't found my parents yet!" Niu Niu said angrily.
I was stunned. Yes, if they were living well, why would they go back? Was I being too wishful all along?
With this concern, I became silent along the way. I had nothing in common with these two kids, and the atmosphere became even more silent.
