The Ghost King quickly bowed and apologized.

"It was my fault, please forgive me, Fairy."

Jiang Qingwan seemed quite satisfied with his performance.

"Fine, it's normal for a mortal like you to be inaccurate. Since there's no treasure, you personally escort us out of the Ghost Market. Once we leave, I'll lift your curse."

The Ghost King quickly replied, "I will do as the Fairy says."

Mo Yunhan was almost frozen to death by the stone in his arms.

I don't know what it is, but it can still feel so cold even in the midst of flames.

He could only secretly use his internal energy to resist.

The Ghost King chatted and laughed with Jiang Qingwan all the way, respectfully seeing her off out of the Ghost Market.

Jiang Qingwan kept her promise and used her spiritual energy to touch his brow.

"Okay, it's solved."

The Ghost King felt the chill being drawn out of his body.

He was overjoyed.

"Fairy Maidens are welcome to visit the Ghost Market anytime."

He bowed again to see them off.

Jiang Qingwan waved her hand, followed Mo Yunhan onto the horse, and galloped away.

The Ghost King watched the two leave, then quickly turned back.

The assassins he arranged all looked bewildered and wanted to ask him whether he should pursue and kill them.

The Ghost King had no time to care about anything else at the moment. He waved his hand, ordering everyone to leave and forbidding anyone from approaching his residence.

He then closed the door, quickly took out the Bloodfire Worm, sat cross-legged, and prepared to practice absorbing its power.

However, he did not notice that the people he had arranged to burn incense had already lit the enchanting incense inside the burning incense burner.

It was rising gently, slowly spreading throughout the room.

As the Ghost King circulated his energy, the alluring fragrance permeated his aura, seeping into his body little by little.

The Ghost King greedily absorbed all of the Bloodfire Worm's pure Yang energy into his body.
