Chapter 639 Fighting Insects

Ji Wenyi's fingers holding the jade cup suddenly tightened. He didn't expect Ji Weiming to stab him in the back.

Doesn’t Ji Weiming know how much Abao likes the deed to the ghost realm?

Didn’t Ji Weiming have a falling out with Jiaying? Why did he suddenly agree to Jiaying’s unreasonable request?

Ji Weiming paused and continued with a strange expression, "Of course, I also agree with the candidate proposed by my royal brother."

Ji Wenyi smiled slightly: "I didn't know that Prince Rui was such a fence-sitter."

Yue Mushan suddenly interrupted the topic: "Sister...my sister is also suitable."

Ji Wenyi hadn't expected that even Yue Mushan would come to ruin his plans. He reluctantly replied to his newly won ally, "I wonder if the Demon King has any other offspring?"

Yue Mushan said: "He is not my brother, but my beloved."

Ji Wenyi understood that Yue Mushan was dating an older woman.

Sikong Qing suddenly slammed the table and stood up. Now he was sure of Yue Mushan’s identity. He was indeed the damn cat demon.

Everyone present turned their eyes to Sikong Qing, wondering why he suddenly gritted his teeth.

Sikong Qing pointed his finger at Yue Mushan from a distance, looking as if he was going to curse at him. In the end, he sat back in his original position angrily, his beautiful face distorted, and he said nothing.

Everyone thought: Maybe he hated Yue Mushan for competing with him for the position of Ghost King. Fortunately, he didn't make a scene on the spot for Ji Wenyi's sake.

Yue Mushan was a little confused as to why Sikong Qing helped Xiao Chu compete for the list but not Ye Xiaoman. He silently recorded this doubt.

He added: "Of course, I also agree with the candidate recommended by Master Jiaying."

The minister in charge of the overall situation was a little confused and couldn't figure out the complicated interest relationship between several men.

Yue Mushan summarized it on his behalf.

"There are currently two votes proposing the Queen of the Divine Realm, cast by His Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

"There are two votes for the proposal of Xiao Xianzhang's junior sister. The votes come from Patriarch Sikong and Xiao Xianzhang himself."

"There are three votes for Jiao Yanxia. The proposers are me, Master Jiaying, and His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Yue Mushan said: "Jiao Yanxia has the most votes, can we..."

Seeing that Ji Wenyi's face was becoming increasingly unhappy, the ministers on Ji Wenyi's side quickly spoke out and tried to turn the situation around, which had gone completely astray.

"Have you all forgotten? The campaign to subjugate the Ghost Lord was initiated by our Divine Realm, and the disposal of the spoils should also be decided solely by our Divine Realm."

"Huh?" Sikong Qing was the first to jump out and challenge, "Why would I cooperate with you if there's no benefit? Do you think I'm stupid?"

He left the table on his own and was about to leave with his demon subordinates.

Xiao Chujing also stood up with his sword in hand, ready to follow Sikong Qing out of the hall. "Brother Ji, we cannot work together if we do not share the same ideals."

Jiaying gathered his clothes and raised his hand. The senior monks from Yongning Temple behind him immediately stepped forward to support him. Jiaying was quiet but his attitude of completely breaking off ties with Ji Wenyi as a member of the Divine Realm was clearly conveyed to everyone.

Yue Mushan's voice also turned cold, "Niwa, let's go."

The minister stopped Sikong Qing, who was leading the group, and forced a smile: "Hey, everyone, why are you so..."

The minister turned around and looked up at Ji Wenyi with the other guests.

Ji Wenyi's expression was still pleasant, making it impossible to discern his true emotions.

He calmly put down the wine glass in his hand. As he did so, the clasped jade pendants made a slight chime. He smiled like a wise ruler who treated his subjects with respect, and his narrow eyes swept across the faces that were dissenting.

He memorized these people's names.

The minister met his cold gaze and lowered his head in fear.

Ji Wenyi received an imperial education since childhood. He can transcend personal likes and dislikes and face and look at problems from a global perspective.

He has to capture one tenth of the territory of the ghost realm, and faces a serious shortage of manpower.

He needed Sikong Qing's powerful armed forces, and he also needed Jiaying as the nemesis of the ghost clan, leading a group of monks from Yongning Temple as his right-hand men.

He also needed Yue Mushan's identity as the future Demon King. An Emperor of the Divine Realm plus a Demon King, their status was transcendent. The balance of the negotiations continued to increase, and the Ghost Lord had to sit at the negotiation table.

As for Xiao Chujing, haha, good brother, he will one day make Xiao Chujing understand the price of disobeying him.

Not only Xiao Chujing, but everyone present who offends the majesty of heaven must pay the price.

These are the areas of reckoning.

Ji Wenyi gracefully stepped back and said, "Your proposal is very reasonable. Since we are allies, the spoils should be divided equally."

He raised his finger, and the secret guard serving wine retreated, and soon came back with a treasure box.

This box is an exquisite jade box carved from a whole piece of spiritual jade. The box body is translucent dark green, and the fine lines on the surface are like vines, forming ancient and mysterious spell patterns. If you look closely, you will find that all the rare spiritual insects in the world live among the spell patterns.

The spirit insects have been sealed between the runes for generations, reproducing and giving birth to the strongest offspring. It is unknown how many years have passed.

It is indeed a good thing. Sikong Qing, a demon who is good at raising poisonous insects, was delighted.

The secret guard broke off a vine from the surface of the jade box. After the vine broke away from the surface of the jade box, it quickly stretched its branches and leaves from the length of a fingernail to grow into a bunch of spiritual herbs. On the spiritual leaves lay several jade silkworms, gnawing on the leaves.

The secret guard introduced: "This is a Gu Box. The spirit insects placed in the box will fight and devour each other until a single king is born."

"Since all the immortals have suitable candidates for Ghost King, why don't you each choose a spirit insect to compete? The winner will be chosen by heaven and have the right to become Ghost King."

Sikong Qing said, "That's more reasonable."

Each man knew that they could not do anything on their own and could not seek justice for Ye Xiaoman. Since Ji Wenyi gave them a way out, they united again.

Jiaying and Sikong Qing each sent someone to check the magic weapon. Xiao Chujing used his own method to identify it. After the several parties confirmed that the magic weapon had not been tampered with and that it was completely fair and just, they began to pick the spiritual silkworms.

Sikong Qing picked out the one with round eyes. He felt that it looked a bit like Ye Xiaoman. He put it into the Gu box first and threatened with a charming smile: "Chong Manman, if you can't beat others, I will fry your insect pupa and eat it."

Jiaying picked out a pair of snow-white couple's clothes, which symbolized that he and Ye Xiaoman wore the same pair. He had a distant expression on his face, but he touched the animal's head with his fingertips, as if to consecrate and bless it, and then silently put it into the Gu box.

Xiao Chujing picked a pig with two horns on its head, a bit like Ye Xiaoman's double buns, and placed it in his palm first, then held it to the edge of the box, letting it slowly move down along his long fingers. He curled his lips and said, "Little sister, I'm here, don't be afraid."

As for Yue Muchan, he picked the one that didn't seem to be the biggest, but was the most stable and intelligent.

Ji Weiming chose the shyest and most peaceful one hidden among the magical herbs; Ji Wenyi used a golden hairpin used by Ye Xiaoman to gently pick up the most delicate and timid one among them.
