At the dinner table, the three Ghost Kings watched Xia Tianqiong, awaiting his response.
A moment later, Xia Tianqiong put down his wine bowl and extended one finger.
"I can help you, but you only need to agree to one condition."
"What are the conditions?" the Three-Eyed Demon King asked hastily.
“When I face a life-or-death crisis, I will ask you for help, and you must help me unconditionally.”
After Xia Tianqiong finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent again.
The Three-Eyed Demon King and the scholar exchanged a glance and secretly communicated telepathically.
"Does this kid know he's going to be eaten by Jun Shisan?"
"Whether we know it or not, we can't agree to this condition. Otherwise, if one day he asks us to deal with Jun Shisan, wouldn't that be sending us to our deaths?"
"Aren't you going to say you're not afraid of Jun Shisan?"
"Bullshit! Once I break free of these shackles, I'll be fearless. Alright, stop sending messages. This kid's waiting for a reply. You should reject him now."
The two demon kings ended their telepathic communication, and the scholar spoke up: "Young brother, we cannot agree to this condition, nor can I explain it to you. Please change your condition!"
Xia Tianqiong's heart stirred, but instead of getting angry, a thought popped into her head.
He made this request in order to deal with the person who would devour him in the future.
It was previously speculated that the Ghost Bride knew his fate, and even that the Ghost Kings knew. This answer seems to confirm that.
This also illustrates that even if the three Demon Kings combined, they wouldn't dare to confront the person who created the forbidden technique.
Who on earth is this person? How can they be so powerful!
He sighed inwardly and began to consider other conditions.
If it were in Xia Tianqiong's usual character, if the other party needed him to do something, he would definitely weigh the situation carefully, refuse the first condition, and turn around and leave.
But it's not appropriate now.
Firstly, he originally planned to start a large-scale capture of the supernatural beings, and the King of Ghosts' request happened to coincide with what he was going to do.
Secondly, he also wanted to help the ghost bride as a way of repaying a favor.
If this is what the ghost bride has been plotting against him all along, then he can rest assured now.
As I was thinking, I suddenly remembered something I really wanted.
"Why can the food and drinks at the Wujian Restaurant grant people supernatural powers? Can I use this method?"
The scholar and the Three-Eyed Demon King both shook their heads.
The Three-Eyed Ghost King laughed and said, "You really know how to ask for things. That's a rule that the Wujian Restaurant developed itself."
Only dishes prepared and eaten here have a chance of granting humans or supernatural beings the ability to perform supernatural arts, so I cannot teach it to you.
"This won't work, that won't work, you're not sincere at all! Why don't you just give me shares in Wujian Restaurant!"
Xia Tianqiong feigned dissatisfaction, but in truth, he didn't know what else he could want.
He wanted something, but the other party wouldn't give it to him, and he didn't need anything else.
Before the Three-Eyed Demon King could say anything, the scholar interrupted, "No need for shares, how about we just give you the Wujian Restaurant instead!"
The ghost bride and the three-eyed ghost king both looked at the scholar.
Xia Tianqiong was also stunned.
I only wanted shares, but you gave me the entire restaurant?
It sounds like a good thing, but any normal person would think it's abnormal!
The scholar gently waved his folding fan, glancing at the Three-Eyed Ghost King and the Ghost Bride, "We will eventually leave, and we won't be able to take this restaurant with us then. Why don't we just give it to you, little brother?"
"no."
The first to voice their opposition was surprisingly the ghost bride.
The Three-Eyed Ghost King glanced at Xia Tianqiong, then silently drank his wine without saying a word.
The scholar chuckled and asked the charlatan bride, "With your wealth and power, what else can we give you that you would need? In fact, all of us combined are not as rich as him!"
Before the ghost bride could answer, the scholar looked at Xia Tianqiong again.
"To be honest, there's not much we can give you. If you need any strange artifacts or things, I can give you a few dozen as a bonus. The restaurant will still provide them, but that will have to wait until after we leave this world."
Xia Tianqiong didn't rush to answer, but turned to look at the ghost bride.
Strangely, the ghost bride remained silent again, neither agreeing to nor stopping the scholar's proposal.
It seems like they've tacitly agreed.
Xia Tianqiong asked the scholar, "When will you leave the mortal realm?"
The scholar replied, "It could be as short as one or two years, or as long as three or four years; it's hard to say. If you accept, we can sign a written contract for a period of three years. At that time, whether we leave or not, Wujian Restaurant will belong to you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the earth shook violently, and the entire restaurant trembled.
Xia Tianqiong was puzzled. "What's going on? Was there an earthquake outside?"
The Three-Eyed Demon King suddenly slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter, "Haha, it's throwing a tantrum. Looks like it doesn't like being given away."
The scholar shook his head and chuckled, "The Wujian Restaurant has long since developed sentience and belongs to the category of architectural anomalies. It usually lies dormant and rarely pays attention to outside affairs."
Don't worry, we can arrange to give it to you. Now it's just a matter of whether you accept the terms.
Xia Tianqiong smiled, but her eyes turned cold.
He had a rough idea of the scholar's intention.
The scholar probably knew that he would be devoured by that person sooner or later, and by then he would be dead, so there would be no need to fulfill the agreement.
It's like getting his help for nothing without contributing anything in return.
However, we can infer something from this: that person should appear before they leave and then devour them.
Based on this calculation, I have at least one year left, and at most three years left.
Since that's the case, let's take a gamble.
If you die, no matter how much you own, it won't be of any use. If you can escape this calamity, you will possess this magical, timeless restaurant.
