The top floor of Wujian Restaurant.
The Three-Eyed Ghost King strode towards Xia Tianqiong, and said in a loud voice, "Welcome, young friend. I heard you did something great in the Ghost Realm, so I'm hosting a banquet here to celebrate for you."
He raised his hand and waved it at the empty space, and a table immediately appeared out of thin air.
The table was laden with all sorts of dishes, still steaming hot, as if they had just been served.
Xia Tianqiong glanced at it but didn't look at it much, instead wearing a half-smile on her face.
"There's a saying, 'Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.' I dare not eat the food and wine on the King of Deceit's table!"
The Three-Eyed Demon King's smile froze, and an awkward expression appeared on his rugged face.
The scholar stood to the side and glanced at him with a mocking look.
"Stop with your little schemes. This young man has already tricked the Tree Demon Clan and the Void Demon Clan with a few simple tricks. Small favors are meaningless. Let's get straight to the point."
Upon hearing this, Xia Tianqiong realized that this person wanted something from her!
He glanced at the table of delicious-looking dishes and suddenly strode over.
"Such a delicious meal, it would be a waste not to eat it. Let's eat and chat at the same time."
He pulled out a chair, sat down, and pulled out the chair next to him, saying to the ghost bride, "Sixiang, come and sit here."
The ghost bride didn't say anything, but walked over and slowly sat down.
The Three-Eyed Demon King and the scholar exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
He thought to himself that this kid was indeed extraordinary. His courage and the aura of taking the initiative were not something that ordinary people could do.
The two demon kings didn't mind and took their seats.
As soon as he sat down, the Three-Eyed Ghost King asked with a smile, "I heard that you robbed the Tree Ghost Clan. It is said in the Ghost Realm that their clan has a lot of thousand-year-old wine. I wonder if it is true?"
Upon hearing this, the scholar moved his chair to the side.
It seems to be implying that I don't know this idiot.
He clearly had something important to discuss with someone, but he shamelessly asked them for drinks!
That's absolutely vulgar!
The scholar felt his own status was being lowered, so he suddenly opened his folding fan and stood between him and the Three-Eyed Demon King.
Xia Tianqiong chuckled and casually took out a jar of wine. "This is a thousand-year-old top-grade peach blossom wine. Let's drink this wine today."
He broke the seal on the jar, first filling a bowl for the Ghost Bride, then for the Book and the Three-Eyed Ghost King, and finally poured wine for himself.
"Good wine, good wine indeed!"
The Three-Eyed Demon King picked up the wine bowl, sniffed it gently, then opened his mouth wide and poured it directly down his throat.
"Young friend, please try this table of delicious dishes I have prepared. They are all made with the finest ingredients and are perfectly suited to your fine wine."
"Okay, I'll try it."
Xia Tianqiong didn't stand on ceremony and started eating.
Next, the three ghost kings and one human ate and drank, chatting casually about everyday matters.
The art style looks like a gathering of old friends, very harmonious.
Finally, after several rounds of drinks, Xia Tianqiong put down his chopsticks, his expression returning to calm.
"The three Ghost Kings are all top-tier beings in the Ghost Realm. It's an honor for me to have them drink and chat with me here. Now that we've eaten enough, let's get straight to the point!"
Upon hearing this, the ghost bride's hand, which was about to pick up some food, suddenly froze in mid-air.
Xia Tianqiong's words were correct, but he clearly distinguished between the two sides: one side was the three Ghost Kings, and the other side was himself.
This made the ghost bride feel alienated, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
She put down her chopsticks and explained softly, "I just need your help, my lord. It won't do you any harm."
Xia Tianqiong turned to look at the ghost bride.
Even though there was a red veil between them, they could sense each other's emotions at that moment.
"If Sixiang needs anything from me, just say so. I will definitely help if I can."
He meant it sincerely, not just being polite.
Without the red veil of the ghost bride, he would have died several times over. It was also because of the red veil that many of his plans were able to be carried out, allowing his strength to develop rapidly to its current level.
He always remembered the kindness of the ghost bride; otherwise, he wouldn't have pretended not to know anything even though he knew she had ulterior motives.
If the other party's scheme is related to what needs to be done, he is very willing to help, as a way of repaying a favor.
The ghost bride trembled slightly, a strange feeling welling up inside her.
She could sense that Xia Tianqiong's words came from the heart, which made her a little flustered.
She quickly explained again, "This is not my own matter, but the matter of the entire Wujian Restaurant, so I invited you, sir, to come and discuss it together."
"I see!" Xia Tianqiong nodded slightly and laughed heartily. "Then tell me, and I'll see if I can help."
"You can definitely help."
These words were spoken by the scholar, who gently shook his folding fan and slowly said, "We need to capture some strange things in this world, and the required number is quite large."
Others might not be able to do it, but with your current abilities, it's easy for you.
Xia Tianqiong asked curiously, "How many do you want to capture? You are stronger, why don't you go and capture them yourselves?"
The scholar continued, "If we take direct action, it will cause the human world to collapse and accelerate its fusion with the ghost realm. This will do us no good, only harm."
"You need to help us capture one fierce ghost, one evil ghost, 3257 vicious ghosts, 38 ruthless ghosts, and 9 ghost generals..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Tianqiong suddenly interrupted him.
"So many? That must add up to over ten thousand, right? And there are even odd amounts!"
“We really need far more than this. Fortunately, we have captured a lot over the past tens of thousands of years, but we are still short, so we need your help.”
