Xia Tianqiong sighed slightly, feigning regret, "It's a pity that Leng Tianpeng only gave me half of the Daoist scripture, so it probably won't be of much value."
The Bride of Demons' expression was unusually serious. "Even if it's just a page, a Demon King will come to snatch it. My lord, you must keep this a secret and never mention it to anyone again."
Xia Tianqiong smiled faintly, looking intently into the other person's eyes, "Sixiang, don't you want it?"
His words were clearly a test.
The ghost bride met his gaze, her eyes filled with some inexplicable emotions, and then she slowly nodded.
"Sixiang wants it too, but don't worry, my lord, I will never lay a hand on you, never."
Her tone was gentle, and her expression was sincere.
Xia Tianqiong felt a warmth in her heart, an indescribable feeling of being moved.
This is a powerful and cunning opponent. Even though I have improved my strength, he can still easily crush me.
Even so, she didn't intend to be violent towards herself.
Could it be that our previous suspicions were wrong?
Is the Ghost Bride just a love-struck fool who doesn't have any ulterior motives towards herself?
Xia Tianqiong was lost in thought and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"How about I give half of the True Spirit Dao Scripture as a betrothal gift on the day Sixiang marries me?"
The ghost bride blinked, stood there stunned, and a feeling of emotion welled up in her bright eyes.
Xia Tianqiong thought she would accept it happily, but the result was unexpected.
The wicked bride shook her head and looked at him with a smile, "I don't want this betrothal gift. My lord, you can keep it for yourself. I want a different kind of betrothal gift."
"What?"
"The young master will know in due time."
"Ugh! You're always only saying half of what you mean, Sixiang! I want to spank you, you're so torturous."
"My lord, you're so annoying!"
Through their shared thoughts, the two, one human and one ghost, flirt and banter, growing ever closer.
The witch bride suddenly asked another question, "My lord, that trick you just used, you must have figured it out yourself, right? It even combined the power of lightning and the power of reincarnation!"
Xia Tianqiong was quite pleased when asked this question.
"I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I keep getting into moments of enlightenment, and I've already comprehended two strange techniques in a row. The one I just saw was called 'Armor-Piercing Thunderclap Technique,' which uses lightning as the main element and the power of reincarnation as a secondary element."
I also previously comprehended a fusion of the power of reincarnation and the secret art of resurrection, which I call the 'Explosive Kill Resurrection Technique.' Both of these tricks are quite powerful.
The ghost bride sincerely praised, "Humans who can create their own tricks are rare indeed. My lord is truly a man of great talent."
Pleasant conversations always make time fly by, and before you know it, more than an hour has passed.
The people on the other side who took turns trying to break the rules have also finished.
Although they didn't have any spiritual fruits to bribe the child, they could still break the little boy's rules by using ghost money instead.
These ghost hunters are small landowners in various places, and they have always exploited the people. They are not short of this ghost money.
The team set off again to find the next special building.
The so-called special buildings are those with eerie structures inside.
These strange creatures are different from those encountered on the street. They are intelligent and can communicate. As long as the rules are broken, one can obtain strange artifacts or objects.
The Xinglian organization mobilized its personnel to explore in order to gain benefits.
This city, shrouded in smoke and dust, is a modern metropolis with many buildings, densely packed together, but not many high-rise buildings; most are buildings of five stories or less.
Xiao Zijun was in a good mood and led the way while also explaining the situation to everyone.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that this place looks like a city in our country, and the eerie creatures look like people of Asian descent. In reality, this scene comes from another world."
We discovered some newspapers, books, and other written materials, with the date listed as the 214th year of the Restoration Calendar. The planet where this city is located isn't called Earth; it's called something like the Seventh Human Domain.
Fu Qing suddenly asked curiously, "If this place comes from another world, why do they also speak Chinese and use Chinese characters?"
Xiao Zijun had obviously thought about this question long ago, and said with a smile, "Even the Ghost Realm speaks Chinese and uses Chinese characters, which shows that our language and writing are universal in all worlds."
As he said this, he unconsciously raised his chin, seemingly with a hint of pride.
Xia Tianqiong listened silently, then asked the Ghost Bride telepathically, "I remember you said that the Ghost Realm has invaded many human worlds. How are those human worlds different from our world?"
The ghost bride did not answer directly, but instead revealed information that shocked him greatly.
"Millions of years ago, the realm of ghosts and the human world were one, living in the same world."
Humans turn into monsters after they die, and other living beings and objects can also become monsters. As the number of monsters increases, they squeeze the living space of humans.
Thus, some mysterious beings joined forces to divide the world in two, one half into the realm of the supernatural and the other half into the human world.
After a human dies, their soul enters the realm of the undead and becomes a ghost. After the ghost perishes, it will be reincarnated in the human world, and so on in an endless cycle.
But then something happened, and the human world shattered, breaking into countless smaller worlds, one of which is the one you live in.
Xia Tianqiong pondered these words carefully and found them very interesting, as if she were listening to a myth or legend.
"What kind of mysterious being are you referring to? Is there an even higher level above the Ghost King?"
The ghost bride turned her head and looked at her with an apologetic expression.
"Due to the rules, I cannot say, but my lord will surely find the answer himself in the future."
"Fine, I can't tell you anyway!"
Xia Tianqiong pouted, not particularly concerned.
It's uncertain whether he'll even live to see the future, so there's no point in thinking about it too much.
The group continued along the street, encountering strange occurrences along the way, and the killing never stopped.
