"Don't take these. My little beauty, please stay here." The Ghost King lifted Ju Jingbai's chin frivolously and instructed the surrounding officers, "I will definitely treat you well."
Ju Jingbai was immersed in the idea that the Ghost King had Xu Ge's face. She felt uncomfortable all over and didn't want to talk anymore. The officer who brought them in was standing quietly beside them.
After hearing the Ghost King's order, he immediately took Bai Xiu Xiu and the others out.
"Wait a moment," the Ghost King shouted again, "Come here, all of you."
Ju Jingbai frowned, looking at the handsome face of the Ghost King, and became even angrier.
What does this ghost king want to do with Xu Ge's face?
She looked at Bai Xiu Xiu's shivering face and was about to speak when she heard the Ghost King say.
"You guys, explain clearly what kind of ghost species you are and what your weaknesses are before you leave."
Ju Jingbai was stunned for a moment, his face looked strange. What kind of request was this?
The Ghost King looked at Ju Jingbai with great interest. "My concubine, I know you came here to hone your abilities. Look at the number of ghosts here. I'll have them tell you about their species and enrich your knowledge. However, your condition for returning must be me. I don't want you to leave. As long as you behave yourself, you can stay by my side and learn a lot. How about you keep learning until I get tired of you?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely spoil you into a modern-day favorite concubine."
Ju Jingbai looked away with an indescribable expression and looked at Bai Xiu Xiu.
Bai Xiu Xiu was the first to speak. "I'm a very ordinary ghost. I lived a few years longer than the blue-gray ghost and became a white ghost. I have many fatal weaknesses. I'm afraid of light, lightning, and the flames it ignites. Furthermore, if you drive away all my Yin energy, I will dissipate."
After saying this, Bai Xiu Xiu stepped aside.
Behind Bai Xiuxiu was a pretty female ghost. A faint yellow hue emanated from her soul. She flirted with the Ghost King and said with a smile, "I'm a woman who was transformed from a dead fox. I'm a yellow ghost. My weakness is that I like handsome young men. Of course, I'm also afraid of lightning, but my Yin energy is much stronger than that girl before. Ordinary lightning can't kill me."
…
Ju Jingbai sat beside the Ghost King, listening to the ghost girls participating in the audition come up one by one to introduce themselves, and carefully explain their weaknesses and fears to Ju Jingbai in detail.
The division of ghost strength in Jiaocheng has reached the extreme.
They are divided by colors, and seem to be the same as the names in real life.
From weak to strong, they are gray, white, yellow, black, red, and blue.
The more Ju Jingbai listened, the more attentively she listened. These were exactly what she lacked. She could name most of the ghosts in front of her, but when it came to counting the various cultivation systems of the ghost species, she was not very clear.
Ju Jingbai glanced at the ghost girl who came up again with a surprised look.
This girl is a headless ghost.
No matter what, the talent show should still find a girl with good looks to participate, right?
"Hello, Your Majesty, hello, Concubine. My name is Chen Xingxing. As you can see, I am a headless ghost with a yellow body. When I died, the glass shards from a truck chopped my head off and it rolled into the Xijiang River. Later, my family spent a lot of money to salvage my head, but it still didn't work." Chen Xingxing's voice was full of laughter, and she didn't feel sad at all. "I was a great beauty before I died."
"Can I ask how you saw what was ahead?" Ju Jingbai asked.
"I exuded Yin Qi outside, and after cultivating it, it turned into eyes, helping me to observe the surrounding environment. Yin Qi can also see things that the eyes cannot see, which is very practical." Chen Xingxing said, "But after that, my aesthetic taste changed a lot. I used to be obsessed with looks, but after the Yin Qi turned into eyes, even faces were blurry.
After seeing so many of them, I began to think that boys with more Yin energy are more handsome and stronger.
I actually got into this audition through connections. I once ran into the Ghost King when I was out and about. At first glance, I thought he was such a handsome guy.
“…” Ju Jingbai turned his head and saw the Ghost King’s smug expression.
The expression on Xu Ge's face was so incongruous that Ju Jingbai looked away.
When she turned around, she found Chen Xingxing took a step forward and then pulled her hand.
Chen Xingxing grabbed her hand, held it to her chest, and pleaded sincerely, "Wang, I really think you are very handsome. Look at you now. The evil spirit all over your body has solidified into a ball, and it is emitting a golden light. I think you are so beautiful. I really want to stay by your side. Really, Wang, I am willing to be your subordinate.
If that doesn't work, you can just keep me by your side and use me as a little maid to serve tea and water. I can accept that. As long as I can see your majestic figure every day, I will be satisfied."
Before Ju Jingbai could stop her, Miss Chen Xingxing started to say a lot of flattery.
As soon as Chen Xingxing finished speaking, the hall became quiet.
Ju Jingbai looked at Chen Xingxing's neck awkwardly, then turned his head to glance at the Ghost King's expression.
The Ghost King's face was very gloomy.
"You said you thought I was handsome?"
The Ghost King narrowed his eyes, raised his lips, and asked in a cold voice.
"Of course, Wang, you are really the most handsome ghost I have ever seen in Jiaocheng." Chen Xingxing looks like a modern girl, very bold and unambiguous in expressing her love.
Ju Jingbai shook Chen Xingxing's hand hard, but failed to stop Chen Xingxing from committing suicide.
"Of course I know, Cheng Jing, throw him to Xiao Zang's place and let this headless ghost take care of Xiao Zang." The Ghost King said, "Didn't she say she would do anything for me? Then go and look after the dog for me."
"Wang, are you referring to the wolfhound you raised?" Ju Jingbai asked.
"That's right." The Ghost King nodded.
Chen Xingxing finally realized that she had recognized the wrong person. She suddenly let go of Ju Jingbai's hand and murmured, "Impossible, how could it be? According to the princess's soul strength, it must not be as high as the prince's. How could my favorite person become the princess?"
No one present could hear Chen Xingxing's whispers.
Ju Jingbai was completely convinced. This headless ghost girl was too careless. She didn't pay attention to the life-threatening matter, but instead wondered about such an insignificant thing?
"Wang, doesn't that wolfhound devour the evil spirits of ghosts?" Ju Jingbai reminded Chen Xingxing, hoping she would use her flattering skills to plead for mercy. However, Chen Xingxing seemed still immersed in the unknown blow and didn't see the hint. "Let's not do that. What if they die?"
"Princess, don't you know that countless ghosts have died here? I sent her to look after Xiao Zang because she has the same taste as me." The Ghost King explained, not intending to change his decision. "Cheng Jing?"
The ghost officer standing behind the Ghost King stepped forward, the Yin energy in his hand turned into a chain, and he pulled Chen Xingxing out.
The disappearance of a ghost girl did not affect anything, and the audition continued.
The place where the Ghost King raises his wolfhounds is far away from the main hall.
Ju Jingbai listened to the ghost girl introducing herself in a restless mood. About ten minutes later, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from the direction of the wolfhound, and the angry barking of the dog sounded, "Woof woof woof."
The ghost girl who was introducing herself was so frightened that she was stuck. She glanced at the ghost king's sinister smile, patted her chest in fear, and spoke haltingly, not daring to stop her introduction.
Ju Jingbai turned his head to look at the face of the Ghost King. The Ghost King was very happy to hear the barking of dogs.
She finally eliminated the influence of Xu Ge's face and clearly overlapped the Ghost King with the brutal image she had heard before.
She said nothing, and refocused her attention on the ghost girl's introduction.
Only by increasing her strength can she overthrow the rule of the Ghost King and leave this virtual realm of cultivation.
After the showgirls finished explaining themselves, the selection process came to a successful conclusion.
Apart from choosing himself, an outsider, as his concubine, the Ghost King did not choose any other concubine. However, after the selection was over, he found a few maids for her.
Bai Xiu Xiu was also on the list of maids selected by the Ghost King because she had lived in the same room with her.
Ju Jingbai moved his fingers, but still didn't say anything.
This ghost king was different from the little ghost king she had met before. The evil aura all over his body had turned into substance, and his body was faintly bluish-red. The biggest difference was that the ghost king looked very similar to humans. His eyes were not completely black, and his lips were a healthy pink. She knew she couldn't beat him.
"It's getting dark, concubine, come here, I have prepared a room for you." The Ghost King said as he walked into the house.
When the Ghost King finished speaking, it was already dark. The gloomy but still bright weather outside the door suddenly turned dark.
The servant beside the Ghost King quickly took out a candle and lit the wall lamp and the lantern.
Ju Jingbai followed the Ghost King and walked towards the back of the hall.
Walking through the corridor, a large number of carved wooden doors appeared on both sides.
"My room is right across from yours. It will be very convenient for me when I sleep with you in the future." The Ghost King pushed open the third door from the left. "You all wait outside. Princess, please come in with me."
"Okay." Ju Jingbai responded.
The room was just an ordinary room, except that the furnishings inside looked expensive.
It was pitch black outside the window and I couldn't see anything.
Ju Jingbai casually closed the door and looked out the window at the beautiful woman who was admiring the view. "King, you have been overlooked by so many beautiful women just now. We haven't been able to introduce ourselves yet, right? Do you want to introduce yourself?"
"Can I introduce myself first?" Ju Jingbai said.
"Okay, then go ahead." The Ghost King was in a good mood.
Ju Jingbai walked to the Ghost King and looked out the window side by side with the Ghost King.
"My name is Ju Jingbai, and I came here by mistake..." Ju Jingbai briefly introduced himself.
"Of course I won't tell you my weakness, but you can tell me my name. Hello, my name is Xu Ge." The Ghost King had come close to Ju Jingbai's ear at some point, and the two of them were very close.
Ju Jingbai's pupils shrank, and she saw clearly what was outside the window.
A wolfhound over one meter long was staring at the window, looking at Ju Jingbai with a fierce look in its eyes.
