As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 195 The Dutiful Ghost King

"You really handed everything over to the police?!"

Upon hearing this answer, *** was a little flustered, but only for a moment before calming down. He said, "Who exactly are you? Why did you steal our documents? What benefit do you get from doing this?"

Actually, Master Li really couldn't understand why Yue Jiuling would do this. If she wanted money, she could have used the stolen documents to extort money from them, since there was no reward for handing them over to the police, unless the thief was someone with an overflowing sense of justice, but she didn't seem like a righteous person at all.

"Haha~ There's really no benefit to it, but I'm happy to do it. I can't stand you annoying people the most, so I want to do some good deeds~"

Hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Master Li understood that this person really was one of those meddlesome people. So he angrily ordered his ghost subordinates: Kill her!

When Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi saw that the ghosts were all heading in their direction, baring their teeth and claws, they started fighting without restraint.

During the fight, Master Li discovered that there was another person who had entered the place besides the thief. However, they all seemed to be too powerful, and his ordinary ghosts were no match for them. Only the ghost king-level ghost was still able to hold on.

The Ghost King was quite powerful. After Yue Jiuling handed over the little ghosts to Ya Zi, she started fighting with the Ghost King.

"Hey~ I think you're pretty capable too, so why are you following this thing?"

While fighting the Ghost King, Yue Jiuling chatted with him. The Ghost King looked quite young, probably only in his thirties or forties when he died. He didn't talk much, but he seemed to appreciate Yue Jiuling as an opponent. So he explained why he helped Master Li.

It turns out that the Ghost King was subdued by Li's ancestors, and the Ghost King had signed a contract with the person who subdued him. This contract was to protect Li's descendants for two hundred years. So the Ghost King has been protecting Li all this time. Although the Ghost King sometimes disapproves of some of Li's actions, he has always obeyed Li because of the contract.

Upon hearing the news, Yue Jiuling laughed and said, "Oh, I see. But haven't you ever thought about leaving this scumbag? He's done so many bad things, and you've been protecting him all this time. It's affecting you too, isn't it?"

The Ghost King has now become familiar with Yue Jiuling, and said, "I cannot leave him unless he dies. Otherwise, I will protect him forever."

"Okay, so you're a loyal and trustworthy ghost after all~"

Master Li could also hear Yue Jiuling and the others' conversation. He was actually quite afraid that the Ghost King would betray him. Although he had subdued many ghosts, none of them were as powerful as the Ghost King. So he was also afraid that the Ghost King would be turned by Yue Jiuling. However, after hearing the Ghost King personally say that he would not leave him, he became very smug and said, "Hmph, you damned thief, save your energy. The Ghost King would never abandon me!"

Yue Jiuling genuinely wanted to persuade the Ghost King to leave Master Li. After all, the Ghost King was a genius who could fight her to a draw, and she really wanted to be friends with him. It was just a pity that the Ghost King was unwilling to leave Master Li.

After taking down all the brats, Ya Zi stood aside watching Yue Jiuling perform. He knew Yue Jiuling loved fighting, so he didn't go to help. However, when he saw that the time was almost up, Ya Zi said to Yue Jiuling, "Jiuling, Miss Wu and the others should be here soon~"

As he said this, he walked directly in the direction of Master Li, intending to grab Master Li.

As soon as Ya Zi made a move, the Ghost King realized his intention and immediately returned to Master Li's side to protect him.

The Ghost King apologized to Yue Jiuling and the other person, saying, "I'm sorry, I have to fulfill my duty to protect him."

Seeing this, Yue Jiuling said, "Alright, but I still have to capture your master, so I apologize."

As she spoke, she waved her hands and summoned a pair of short swords: "Come on, today I'm going to catch this damn master and then go get some midnight snacks."
