Ju Jingbai was stunned for a long time. Damn, this old Ghost King was just her grandfather impersonating him! Aside from the accumulated Yin Qi inside him, which made him look like a soul, everything else was exactly like her grandfather.
Is this too much?
What if she wants to slap her loved ones in the face every time she sees them in the future?
"Come out, don't make me say it again." The Ghost King's voice sounded again.
"Right away, right away." Ju Jingbai straightened his clothes and pushed the door open. She smiled and said, "I just wanted to see you with a pretty face. What the hell is this?"
"So that's how it is. Where's the ghost inside?" The Ghost King forced a laugh.
"There's no ghost. There was no one here when I came in. I just wanted to get a candle. I'm hungry." After Ju Jingbai finished speaking, his stomach rumbled.
"Oh." The Ghost King nodded and didn't mention Bai Xiuxiu anymore. "Let me introduce you. This is the previous Ghost King. He's my father."
When Ju Jingbai saw Xu Ge calling his grandfather "Dad" with that face, he felt it was out of place.
"Hello." Ju Jingbai still smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the Old Ghost King.
"I don't care whether you saw your maid or not." The old Ghost King, even more annoying than the Ghost King, said immediately, "Let me tell you what we're doing. We two plan to use your golden light of merit to leave this disgusting city. Actually, we don't hate you; we even think you're a little cute. But compared to our big plan, you're bound to suffer a little."
"King?" Ju Jingbai cursed in his heart and looked at the current Ghost King with grievance.
She felt that her acting skills had greatly improved in this virtual world.
The Ghost King laughed, called a few officers over and ordered: "Yes, baby, you are going to be wronged. Put her in Prison Z for me." The Ghost King said the last sentence to the officers.
Ju Jingbai's expression changed: "No need to catch me, I will follow you obediently."
"We'll see each other at the consort ceremony."
The Ghost King said, the old Ghost King looked at Ju Jingbai again and smiled with satisfaction.
Prison No. Z was the one where Wei Qiong was originally imprisoned.
Wei Qiong had only one day left in his detention, and before he was released from prison, Ju Jingbai was imprisoned.
Of course, they are two adjacent single rooms.
"My dear little beauty, how did you get locked up here?" Wei Qiong asked in surprise, "Weren't you chosen by the Ghost King to be his princess?"
"It's not about being a princess. The Ghost King wants me to be a sacrifice for him and his father." Ju Jingbai said with a wry smile, "Brother, how do you know what's going on outside when you're in prison?"
"I have my own channels in prison to inquire about current affairs," Wei Qiong said proudly. "But if it's not the Consort Consort Ceremony, why is it so grand outside? I'm afraid even the ordinary streets of Jiaocheng have received invitations from the Ghost King to confer a concubine. We ordinary residents are also looking forward to the Yinsha feast at the Consort Consort Ceremony. I'm afraid that by then, except for the old ladies who can't move or those who have urgent matters, everyone around will go to the ceremony."
Without Ju Jingbai asking, Wei Qiong told him all his experiences.
"Also, do you know where the ceremony is taking place? It's right behind our prison. There used to be a large area of locust trees, but they've been cut down and covered with cement, making it a large platform." Wei Qiong said with a smile, "Alas, because they were in such a hurry, they didn't even clear the stumps under the locust trees."
"How do you know?" Ju Jingbai's words became serious.
The Ghost King and the Old Ghost King were planning to sacrifice her. From this point of view, the ceremony of conferring the title of princess would be the time to sacrifice her. So many ghosts were standing in a large field with a locust tree as the base. What if there was a formation buried in that field? She couldn't imagine what kind of energy so much evil spirit could form.
And what kind of ghosts will the Ghost King and the Old Ghost King become?
Once she was sacrificed, there would be no way back to her virtual realm.
"Can we see the square where the ceremony of conferring the title of princess is held from here?" Ju Jingbai asked.
"Yes, you can see it by leaning on the small window on the wall. The construction outside has been completed. I heard that the ceremony of conferring the title of consort will be held tomorrow. I wonder what the Ghost King and his men are planning to do." Wei Qiong finally realized, "Wait, you said, the King and his men are planning to sacrifice you? Why?"
"I have a special energy that can help the Ghost King reach a higher level of cultivation." Ju Jingbai stepped on the raised area in the corner and looked out the small window. The newly built square was huge, probably enough to accommodate all the residents of Corner City. "I suspect the Ghost King and his men want to sacrifice more than just me."
Wei Qiong was shocked. "You mean? That won't work. I even asked someone to call my brothers over. If this consort ceremony is a trap, wouldn't I have harmed many people?"
"My little beauty, what do you say we should do? I'll listen to you." Wei Qiong thought for a long time and said.
"Why do you trust me so much?" Ju Jingbai was helpless.
"Why not believe it? I like you, so of course I believe you. You are so beautiful, you will definitely not hurt anyone." Wei Qiong said.
"good."
*******
On the day of the conferment ceremony, Ju Jingbai was dragged into the hall by military officers.
The Ghost King was wearing a cyan-red dragon robe with a five-clawed golden dragon shining on it. Ju Jingbai also changed into a red skirt that represented her identity, with a gorgeous and exquisite phoenix on it.
Ju Jingbai followed the Ghost King out and stood above overlooking the huge square.
The square was filled with ordinary residents of Corner City.
She even saw the old woman who had answered her questions when she first arrived.
In the square, officers used the excuse of positioning to force the residents one by one to specific locations.
In this formation filled with yin energy.
All the residents in and outside Jiaocheng are sacrifices to the Ghost King.
"Princess, what do you think of today's festival?"
The Ghost King was obviously in a good mood, and even the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have become much lighter. He leaned close to Ju Jingbai's ear and narrated, "Wait a moment, I will take you to the center of the square at noon. There is a spot reserved specially for you there.
Then you will see the ultimate beauty of ghosts exploding.
Do you know what black fireworks are? How about I take you to see them? The formation will then circulate the golden light of your merit, but it won't harm your body. I've thought about it carefully, and I won't mind you being my princess. This fireworks display will be my first gift to you."
Ju Jingbai stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "I really think you are blind to this face that I like. How about I show you a golden fireworks show first?"
The next second, the old ghost king's face changed and he rushed down the palace, but his movements were restricted by the golden light.
"Son, officer, take action and arrest that woman."
The old ghost king's roar didn't sound like her grandfather's at all.
Ju Jingbai turned around and ran, followed by several officers. The dark clouds turned pitch black in the blink of an eye.
Ju Jingbai took out the whistle from her neck just before the Ghost King caught up with her.
The next second, a long whistle sounded throughout the Ghost King's mansion.
This is the sound of the whistle given by Dahei.
