Chapter 316 The Salted Fish Little Celestial Master Gets His Bride Stolen by the Yandere Ghost King (43)

This seems a bit unreal, doesn't it?

"Heh, you worry if we don't solve it, but you're unhappy if we do. Seriously, is your brain full of shit? You can't even recognize the Ghost-Slaying Talisman?" Shen Zhuo turned on his sarcastic mode without any surprise.

"It's just that my Sheng Sheng drew the runes on the Ghost King's body and used dozens of runes to form an array. What, haven't you seen it before?"

"No way, no way, are all you people in the Xuanmen sect this weak these days?"

"If you ask me, everyone here is trash. All of you combined are not even as good as one of my Sheng Sheng's fingers. If you're bad, practice more. You're always questioning others, but you should see if you have the right to question others. Director K, I'm talking about you!"

Anyone who dares to question his wife must be asking for trouble!

If his wife hadn't disliked watching him go on a killing spree, he would have ripped off his "smart" head long before that K-level official even opened his mouth.

Director K: I always feel like my head is going to freeze.

"A monster! He's a monster!"

"At such a young age, he could easily destroy the Ghost King. Is he even human?"

Seeing Yu Sheng's calm and composed demeanor, the crowd huddled together in quiet conversation.

Indeed, Yu Sheng's strength has exceeded their understanding. Judging from Yu Sheng's posture, just as Shen Zhuo said, even if everyone present were combined, they might not be able to defeat him.

Is it really appropriate to put someone like that in the Paranormal Events Management Bureau?

A young man of unpredictable strength plus a ghost king of equal extraordinary power—two ticking time bombs like this, has their headquarters gone mad?!

The people in each branch were all talking about it, but these comments were of no concern to Yu Sheng.

He'd heard that kind of talk far too many times.

In his original world, he was also seen as a monster by others, a strange cultivator who did not understand other people's feelings. While his peers were still struggling to establish their foundation in the Qi Refining stage, he had already begun to study and prepare for the Nascent Soul stage.

In the eyes of others, he was a genius, but also a monster.

He only stopped progressing after his cultivation stagnated and he was stuck at the last step, unable to ascend.

But as far as Shen Zhuo is concerned, they can talk about him, but they just can't talk about his wife!

"Are you all tired of living? You're too weak, so you blame others for being too strong? What kind of logic is that? You're weak, so you're normal, but my wife is strong, so she's an anomaly?"

"If this were hundreds of years ago, you people would be worse than trash. Taoists would have difficulty learning to fly on a sword, Buddhists wouldn't even be able to cultivate Zen, and the Gu arts would be dwindling in number. Do you really think this is normal?"

"I'm telling you, if anyone dares to gossip again, I won't hesitate to pull out their tongue so they can experience the torture of having their tongue pulled out in hell ahead of time."

Shen Zhuo's words successfully silenced them.

Granny Gu and the old Taoist priest also stood up to defend them, saying, "Sheng Sheng is the future hope of our Xuanmen. If we don't count on him, can we count on you bunch of people who can't do anything right and are the best at running away?"

The people were embarrassed by what the two elders said, and they all blushed and lowered their heads in silence.

"Grandma Gu, it's getting late. Our families must be worried about us. Shen Zhuo and I will head back now." Yu Sheng smiled, then bid farewell to Grandma Gu and the others before disappearing with Shen Zhuo.

Watching Yu Sheng and Shen Zhuo's departing figures, Granny Gu sighed.

He said to the old Taoist priest beside him, "This child must be feeling uncomfortable. In the end, it's because we're too useless. The revival of Taoism rests on this child's shoulders."

The old Taoist priest also sighed deeply, "But this child's talent is absolutely the best I've ever seen in my life. Even in the prosperous era of Taoism, he would be one of the best. It's a pity..."

Unfortunately, this child was born in an era of decline for the Taoist sect.

The Xuanmen sect has declined, and this child possesses extraordinary strength; in the eyes of others, he is indeed an anomaly.

"Sigh~~" The two sighed deeply, ignored the people from the branch office, and boarded the headquarters' helicopter to leave.

As for the aftermath, we can't expect the General Administration to clean up the mess, can we?

******

"Wife, you seem a little unhappy." Shen Zhuo tugged at Yu Sheng's sleeve, stepped on the peach wood sword, and hugged him tightly.

"Chen Zhuo, behave yourself, I'm flying on a sword!"

Yu Sheng clearly didn't want to continue answering the question, but Shen Zhuo persisted in pressing her for an answer.

He realized early on that his wife was not from this world.

Back then, he hid in his earring and followed Gu Yuan to the Jiang family to "treat" their son. He secretly peeked at the little figure on the bed from behind the wall.

The little figure on the bed had expressions and movements that were completely unlike those of a three-year-old child.

Because he saw a tiny child, whose teeth hadn't even fully grown in, grabbing a ghost and expressionlessly snapping off the ghost's head.

In addition, based on his observations of his wife over this period of time, her strength is indeed a mystery, but he has to admit that if his wife were to really fight him, he would be the one who gets beaten to a pulp.

He cultivated for nearly a thousand years to achieve such strength. Even if his wife is a genius, it's impossible for her to be able to twist off a ghost's head with her bare hands when she was a child.

Therefore, he became even more suspicious of his wife's identity.

After all, he had stolen Yan Jun's Book of Life and Death a few days ago. Strangely, there was no information about his wife in it, as if his wife did not exist at all.

He stubbornly asked Yan Jun indirectly, only to be met with a bewildered look from Yan Jun, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Yan Jun said that the Book of Life and Death records everyone's past and present lives. If there is no record, then there is only one possibility: you are asking about a person who does not exist.

He could find his own page in the Book of Life and Death, but he couldn't find his wife's.

A wife is someone who shouldn't exist?

How is that possible?

He could clearly sense his wife's presence, and so could everyone around him. However, there was no information about his wife in the Book of Life and Death, and given her power, he could only guess that she wasn't from this world.

"Wife, are you not even from this world?" Shen Zhuo asked bluntly.

Yu Sheng was stunned, seemingly not expecting Shen Zhuo to have guessed these things, and looked at Shen Zhuo in disbelief.

"Wife? Is your expression telling me I guessed right?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Sheng shook her head, "I never thought your brain could actually guess these things?! When did you find your lost brain again?"

Chen Zhuo: "..."

I'm heartbroken, honey. I never imagined you'd think of me like this. (∧)
