At the dinner table, the Three-Eyed Ghost King leaned forward and slowly approached Xia Tianqiong.
He glanced at the ghost bride opposite him and said mysteriously to Xia Tianqiong, "My ghost realm is absolutely every man's dream place."
Its value is comparable to ten jars of top-grade spirit wine. However, I cannot show it to you now unless you bet against me.
Xia Tianqiong carefully examined the Three-Eyed Ghost King and noticed a strange smile on his rugged face—the kind of smile that any man would understand.
He thought to himself that his domain of supernatural beings might not be so legitimate.
Whether it's proper or not doesn't matter; the key is to have your own mysterious realm, which is quite interesting.
"I'll take this bet."
"Good, that's great. You're getting more and more to my liking, kid."
The Three-Eyed Ghost King laughed heartily and poured wine for Xia Tianqiong. The two of them drank three bowls of wine by themselves.
With the wine jars emptied, Xia Tianqiong had no choice but to take out two more.
The meal lasted a long time, and the scholar later explained some details that needed attention.
For example, how to provide Xia Tianqiong with the locations of Li Gui and Gui Jiang, how to provide a large number of Gui artifacts for identification, and how to have Xia Tianqiong kill some Gui in some special spatial rifts, etc.
Such details were also written into the written contract.
The so-called paper contract is a special piece of paper condensed with the power of the underworld. Just like signing a contract, specific requirements are written on it, and then both parties leave their names on it using their own underworld power.
Similar to the contract between humans and the supernatural, this contract is also recognized by heaven and earth. If it is breached, the contract power will also erase the contract.
Xia Tianqiong signed two paper contracts.
One is a betting contract with the Three-Eyed Ghost King, and the other is a contract to capture ghosts signed with the three Ghost Kings.
"I should head back now. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll treat you next time."
After Xia Tianqiong finished speaking, she got up to leave.
The ghost bride suddenly stood up, her clear, cold voice coming from beneath her red veil, "For the next period of time, I will accompany my husband to catch ghosts until this matter is over."
Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he turned and climbed into the sedan chair.
She seems angry!
It was all so inexplicable. The cooperation between the two parties has already been agreed upon; they should be happy.
Both the Three-Eyed Ghost King and the book looked on in astonishment. They exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and smiled wryly, saying nothing.
Xia Tianqiong guessed a bit of the reason, and suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Farewell, my two Demon Kings."
He said something, then turned and got into the sedan chair.
The sedan chair, without needing to be carried, simply vanished into the void.
Meanwhile, the surrounding bustling modern city instantly reverted to its original state of ruins.
The Three-Eyed Demon King suddenly sighed, "You tricked that kid, and Sixiang is unhappy."
The scholar curled his lip dismissively, "But didn't she eventually acquiesce? I think she just wanted to take this opportunity to be alone with her husband for a while, preparing for her other path!"
"When Sixiang comes back, I will definitely tell her that you talked badly about her behind her back."
"Three-Eyed Brother, you weren't up to any good when you made that bet, were you? If I'm not mistaken, you're trying to steal Sixiang's boyfriend!"
"Get out of here, don't frame me!"
...
The bright red sedan chair carried Xia Tianqiong and the ghost bride directly away from the Wujian Restaurant and arrived in Wanhe City outside.
"Why do you want to come with me to catch the strange creature?"
Inside the sedan chair, everything was bathed in red. Xia Tianqiong twisted her body, facing the ghost bride.
The one in front of me is clearly the most bizarre of all, yet I often mistake her for a human being.
Even if you get close enough, you can smell a faint fragrance.
The ghost bride sat upright with her legs together and her hands on her knees.
She spoke softly, her tone gentle: "It was I who suggested asking you for help, but the benefits I offered you were not what I expected. I'm angry with myself; I shouldn't have bothered you."
Xia Tianqiong smiled. He understood that the Ghost Bride also knew that the scholar was trying to trick him, which was why she had objected at the dinner table earlier.
However, I later chose the default option.
"Then why didn't you stop it just now?"
“The scholar is right. We really have nothing to offer you, my lord. Apart from being stronger than you, we are not as good as you in any other way.”
"So you're coming with me to catch the supernatural, as a kind of compensation, right?"
"It can't be called compensation; I just want to spend more time with my husband."
“That would be great. Let’s travel around, catching ghosts as we go, and exploring the world. Perhaps this is our last time together, and we may never see it again.”
The Ghost Bride sensed a hint of melancholy in Xia Tianqiong's words and assumed that he was worried about the impending destruction of the world, which was why he spoke so emotionally.
So he changed the subject, saying, "Young master, you really shouldn't have made a bet with Three-Eyed. Three months is too short a time. Although there are many strange things, it's not easy to find one that fits the criteria."
Xia Tianqiong smiled calmly, looking confident. "This is actually not difficult. Just wait and see. I will definitely beat that three-eyed drunkard."
"Hehehe! That's right, he's a drunkard!"
When the ghost bride heard him call the Three-Eyed Ghost King a drunkard, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, he reminded Xia Tianqiong, "San Yan may seem rough, but he is actually bold and meticulous, and he is ruthless and unscrupulous. You must not think that he will honestly abide by the bet."
"We've already signed a written contract, how dare he renege on it?"
"Of course not, but your contract with him doesn't stipulate that you can't cause trouble. He might cause you trouble and prevent you from completing it within three months. Anyway, as long as it's completed within a year, it won't affect our plan."
