Ghost Realm River View Room 11

After saying that, he exhaled at Xie Guijin.

Xie Guijin was caught off guard and had no way to avoid being hit.

Her eyes were glazed over, and she murmured to herself, "Who am I? Why am I here?"

Xue Linchuan floated in front of Xie Guijin, stretched out his cold, skeletal hand, wrapped it around Xie Guijin's neck, and forcefully pushed her into the sea. He breathed cold air into her ear: "Forget it, forget all those past events. Life is a meaningless illusion, death is the eternal beauty. Let's sink together."

Under Xue Linchuan's guidance, Xie Guijin's eyes became vacant and her movements sluggish. As Xue Linchuan dragged her, she gradually sank to the bottom of the sea. The seawater covered her mouth and nose and soon reached her eyes.

Knowing that success or failure hinged on this moment, Xue Linchuan pressed Xie Guijin down even harder. Victory seemed within reach, but it didn't notice that Xie Guijin's hand had quietly risen and was hovering over its back.

As both sides harbored their own ulterior motives, a ghost arrived following the faint trace of blood, forcefully intervening between "Xue Linchuan" and Xie Guijin. It pulled Xie Guijin up, protecting her firmly behind it, while it confronted "Xue Linchuan" head-on.

"Xue Linchuan" touched his face, smiled sinisterly at the newcomer, and said, "So you are her Xue Lang. What a coincidence, you are too late. She has been poisoned by my ghost magic and will not last long."

Upon hearing this, Xue Linchuan involuntarily turned his head to look behind him, only to see that Xie Guijin's soul body had become semi-transparent, just like his own at that moment.

Taking advantage of Xue Linchuan's distraction, "Xue Linchuan" swung his white bone claws and attacked, striking Xue Linchuan squarely in the back.

Despite the pain, Xue Linchuan gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to let "Xue Linchuan" get even a step closer to Xie Guijin.

Xie Guijin's counterattack, which she had just gathered strength for, failed to be completed. She could no longer hold on and fell into a semi-conscious state, her mind blank, and all her memories and emotions receded like a tide.

Ignoring the attack he was under, Xue Linchuan anxiously called out Xie Guijin's name, hooking his arm around Xie Guijin's neck and pressing their foreheads tightly together.

Xie Guijin's soul was growing fainter and fainter, as if it might disappear without a trace at any moment.

Xue Linchuan suddenly tore off a part of his own soul, unleashing a strong emotional surge that startled Xie Guijin, who was standing almost within reach, awakening her.

Upon waking up, Xie Guijin instinctively attacked Xue Linchuan.

Xue Linchuan gritted his teeth and endured it, shouting, "Gui Jin, it's me, it really is me."

Xie Guijin stared at Xue Linchuan for a moment, then finally relaxed her shoulders and her eyes shone brightly as she said, "It really is you."

The two embraced tightly.

The thick ghostly fog engulfed the two of them.

In a daze, Xue Linchuan saw that Xie Guijin had already married someone else and forgotten about him.

Xie Guijin felt as if she were standing in icy seawater, while Xue Linchuan floated in the air, scolding her for being late.

Suspicion, resentment, and other feelings of despair spread through their hearts.

Countless ghosts wandered in, waiting for them to break down mentally so they could devour the two completely.

The initial shock was fleeting; Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan quickly realized the anomaly and exclaimed in unison, "It's an illusion."

"Close your eyes," Xie Guijin said decisively.

Xie and Xue closed their eyes, relying solely on their spiritual senses to perceive each other's soul aura, drawing them close together. As a result, the illusion could no longer grow and collapsed.

But the crisis was not over. The ghosts surrounded the two, laughing eerily, waiting for their delicious feast.

The chilling air from the Nether Sea directly invaded Xie and Xue, causing their souls to gradually stiffen and freeze.

Nearly frozen and on the verge of death, Xue Linchuan regained some consciousness and his survival instinct ignited. A vital force burst forth from his body—the very spirit of the Mingjia that had protected Xie Guijin.

The spiritual energy of the pod within Xie Guijin's body sensed this and was about to burst forth.

Biancheng King and Beidou Jun, who were prepared and constantly observing, intervened in time to prevent the tragic demise of the vengeful ghosts of the City of the Wrongfully Dead.

Although Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan, who were rescued, were unconscious, they still held each other tightly.

Beidou-kun intervened and woke the two up.

Xie Guijin had just opened her eyes when she heard King Biancheng click his tongue and say, "Stop hugging her, it's really indecent and disgusting."

Upon hearing the voice, Xue Linchuan instinctively released his grip and apologized to Xie Guijin, saying, "I was being presumptuous."

Xie Guijin rolled her eyes at Biancheng Wang, then wrapped her arms around Xue Linchuan's waist and said, "Why are you paying attention to it? It's a perpetual bachelor, how would it know the value of lovers?"

Before King Biancheng could speak, the system objected, saying, "Host, how can you discriminate against single people?"

"Oh dear, I was deliberately trying to provoke King Biancheng," Xie Guijin said speechlessly, "What kind of training did your system provide? It's so sensitive."

"Don't label me. I don't discriminate against anyone. Whether you're single or not is an individual choice. I just don't like people like Biancheng Wang who look down on couples because they're single. And to think that's immoral and disgusting? Bah!"

"Of course, those who are in relationships but think they're single are pathetic and annoying." As if triggering some mechanism, Xie Guijin opened up and started talking.

King Biancheng didn't bother with arguments and directly used magic to forcibly separate Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan.

"You audacious mortal, come and thank me! If it weren't for my intervention, you would have committed another grave crime and been punished!" King Biancheng said arrogantly to Xie Guijin, who staggered back a few steps.

"Hmph," Xie Guijin snorted and turned her face away: "I don't want to thank you. If anyone should thank someone, it should be Beidou-jun."

Xie Guijin straightened her clothes, and Xue Linchuan stepped forward to stand beside her. Together they bowed to Beidou Jun to express their gratitude.

Beidou Jun calmly replied, "No need for formalities."

After getting up, Xue Linchuan was taken aback when he saw Beidou Jun's expression.

Xie Guijin noticed a change in Xue Linchuan's expression out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Xue Linchuan first turned to look at Xie Guijin, then bowed to Beidou Jun and asked, "May I ask if Your Majesty has any connection with the Prime Minister Wei during the reign of our dynasty's founding emperor?"

"If it is inconvenient for you, Beidou-jun, to inform me, please do not make things difficult for me. It is my fault for being disrespectful," Xue Linchuan added.

“There’s nothing offensive about it. I am the Wei Xiang you mentioned,” Beidou Jun said, his face expressionless. “Midnight is approaching, and it’s time for you to leave the Ghost Realm. Hurry up and go to the clinic to merge your souls. Don’t delay any longer.”

Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan both respectfully acknowledged and took their leave.

On the way to the clinic, Xie Guijin asked Xue Linchuan, "Is Beidou Jun the Prime Minister Wei you told me about? How did you recognize him?"

“I have seen her portrait in the Qide Hall,” Xue Linchuan explained.

"So she became a ghost official after she died. How amazing." Xie Guijin exclaimed. "No wonder His Majesty was stunned when he saw her. Qide Hall is in the palace. His Majesty must have seen her portrait."

"Oh, right, if Prime Minister Wei became a ghost official, then what did Emperor Taizu do after he died?" Xie Guijin suddenly asked.

Xue Linchuan's gaze was fixed on Xie Guijin, and he smiled, "That's hard to say. Perhaps she has already ascended to the ranks of immortals, or perhaps she has entered the cycle of reincarnation."

The two chatted idly until they arrived at the clinic.

The ghostly innkeeper had known this moment would come since Xie Guijin brought Xue Linchuan's spirit here. Now that the person in charge had arrived, he hurriedly led her forward and asked Xie Guijin with a puzzled look, "Did you come on the orders of the Crossing Realm Ghost Messenger, young lady?"

Xie Guijin, not wanting to cause any further trouble, readily accepted the offer.

The innkeeper, unsuspecting, asked Xie Guijin to wait a moment while the doctor made preparations.

Taking advantage of this break, Xie Guijin told the Ghost Shopkeeper some of the details of the medicinal herb trade she had discussed with the Sixth Princess of the Demon Realm.

The ghost shopkeeper was overjoyed and said, "This is truly a great thing that benefits the ghost realm!"

Seeing the Ghost Shopkeeper so happy, Xie Guijin felt a sense of accomplishment and suddenly felt full of power.

The ghost servant came to report that the ghost doctor was ready.

The Ghost Shopkeeper personally led Xie Guijin and Xue Linchuan into the inner room.

Upon entering, one sees Xue Linchuan's ghostly spirit inside the room.

Xue Linchuan stood opposite the spirit with some curiosity. They were both in spirit form, like looking in a mirror.

The dazed and silly spirit seemed to have noticed it too. It tilted its head, looking rather cute, unlike Xue Linchuan's original soul.

The candlelight flickered in the room, and a strange medicinal fragrance filled the air. The Ghost Doctor looked solemn, holding an ancient jade box in his hand, inside which was a Blood Bone Grass.

Xue Linchuan and Youjing stood facing each other within the magic array inside the house.

The Ghost Doctor muttered incantations, holding the Blood Bone Grass in his hands. Streaks of black light surged from the Blood Bone Grass, enveloping Xue Linchuan and his spirit.

The spirit was drawn in and gradually merged into Xue Linchuan's main soul.

Xue Linchuan's soul emitted a faint light, and the spirit hummed a song that Xie Guijin had once sung, a song composed by Xie Guijin's grandmother, which the spirit hummed in its entirety.

Xie Guijin, who was listening nearby, was filled with doubt and suspicion, and couldn't help but step forward to listen more closely.

The ghost doctor's sleeves billowed as he hoarsely said, "Step back."

Xie Guijin stopped upon hearing this, her eyes fixed on Youjing, her thoughts unreadable.

The ghost doctor stretched out his withered hands, forming a hand seal, and chanted a soul incantation.

The spirit merged even faster, revealing a blissful smile, and murmured to itself, "Follow her, follow her."

Upon hearing this clearly, Xie Guijin felt a chill run through her body, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The next moment, the ghostly spirit completely merged into Xue Linchuan's soul body, and the soul light exploded.

Xue Linchuan's soul trembled.

The ghost doctor swiftly pointed at Xue Linchuan's spiritual platform, grasped the medicinal vapor from the furnace from afar, condensed it into a talisman, and affixed it to Xue Linchuan's forehead.

Xue Linchuan's soul body stabilized and stopped trembling.

The Ghost Doctor transformed his fingers into needles and used his ghostly power as thread to thread through the gaps between the two. With the blessing of the Blood Bone Grass, he carefully stitched the gaps together, eventually merging them into one.

The light around Xue Linchuan's soul dissipated, and he collapsed softly, being placed on the bed.

The doctor said to Xie Guijin, "Don't worry, just wait for him to wake up."

Xie Guijin's mind was in a mess, and she thanked him like a walking corpse.

After the ghost doctor and the other ghosts left, Xie Guijin stayed by Xue Linchuan's soul.

Xie Guijin's face was as cold as frost, and her whole body was filled with murderous aura.

The system sensed something was wrong and whispered, "Host, what's wrong? Don't scare me, I'm scared."

“Hehehe,” Xie Guijin chuckled, “No wonder I had no impression of him at all; it turns out he’s a perverted stalker.”
