The wolf king's words made Xia Tianqiong's expression stiffen.
He blinked, and the cold, aloof aura he exuded vanished instantly.
"Hehe, your dog nose is pretty sharp!"
The Wolf King hated being called a dog, but Xia Tianqiong's words only made him frown and glare at her displeasedly, without saying anything more.
The ghost bride suddenly looked up, all her sorrowful aura vanished, and then kicked Xia Tianqiong in the shin.
He didn't use any force, just gave a light kick to express his dissatisfaction.
"Well, my lord has learned to deceive me!"
Xia Tianqiong gave an awkward laugh and was about to explain when Xiao Tao suddenly pounced on him.
Clutching his sleeve, she wiped away her tears and recounted the hardships she had endured along the way.
After hearing this, both the Ghost Bride and the Wolf King felt that the journey had indeed been difficult.
If she hadn't advanced to the rank of Ghost King at a crucial moment, Xia Tianqiong would probably have fallen into the hands of that group of Ghost Kings long ago.
Xia Tianqiong pulled her sleeve back and gently comforted her, "Alright, don't cry. You did a great job. Thanks to you this time, I'll have the foreigner give you a bonus later."
Xiao Tao immediately stopped crying and started laughing. Compared to the bonus, she cared more about the boss's praise.
"It's a pity that the big snake got away. I was planning to catch it and make it the boss's mount."
"It's alright, we'll deal with him another time."
Xia Tianqiong offered a few more words of comfort before retracting Xiao Tao back into his body.
The ghost bride, who had been watching quietly from the side, finally spoke up and asked, "My lord, what happened? Why did you faint? Did you use forbidden magic again?"
Xia Tianqiong sighed softly, "Being chased by the Pig-Headed Ghost King, I had no choice but to use it again, which resulted in a backlash. Jun Shisan is here; he wants to devour me and take over my body."
The ghost bride suddenly felt a little nervous. Was the person in front of her the original Xia Tianqiong, or Jun Shisan who possessed Xia Tianqiong's memories?
It's hard for outsiders to be sure!
Just as she was about to ask the question, the wolf king spoke first.
"What's your condition now? Where is the king? Why hasn't he devoured you?"
The wolf king and the four ghost kings beside him all looked on with curiosity, doubt, and a little disappointment.
Xia Tianqiong frowned and glanced at them sideways. "Who are you? What are you still doing here?"
"..."
The ghost kings were speechless. One of them quickly explained, "We came to protect you. We were almost beaten to death by the group. If you don't believe me, ask that female ghost king."
The female ghost king he was referring to was Xiao Tao.
Xia Tianqiong's eyes suddenly turned cold, revealing an indifference that looked down on all living beings, and his aura changed once again.
Even his voice carried an unquestionable tone, "You're protecting Jun Shisan, not me. Now get lost, I'm annoyed just looking at you."
The Wolf King and the four Ghost Kings were all taken aback.
They once again sensed Jun Shisan's shadow in Xia Tianqiong.
Their eyes and tone of voice were very similar.
The Wolf King's eyes held a scrutinizing gaze as he slowly spoke: "Those demon kings aren't fools either; they'll soon realize you're not the true ruler. If they come looking for trouble again, we can help you."
Xia Tianqiong smiled disdainfully, "You can stay if you want, but you have to sign a human master contract with me."
The demon kings were speechless again. What kind of request was that? We were trying to help you.
The wolf king was somewhat displeased; he respected Jun Shisan, not the human before him.
"Don't get your hopes up. Even if we were to form a contract, it would have to wait until the Lord is reincarnated. You are not worthy of our following right now."
“I originally intended for you to leave, but now I've changed my mind.”
Xia Tianqiong's right corner of her mouth suddenly turned up, her smile becoming somewhat perverse.
He then pointed at one of the demon kings and sneered, "You! Die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon king's eyes widened suddenly, and then with a bang, he exploded and died on the spot.
The wolf king and the other three ghost kings were horrified and retreated repeatedly.
Having witnessed this terrifying method before, experiencing it up close now is even more shocking.
The wolf king roared, "Are you insane? Why did you kill him? We came to protect you!"
Xia Tianqiong was too lazy to answer, so she raised her hand and cast a resurrection spell on the Ghost King who had just died.
A moment later, the demon king reappeared.
Because she was resurrected in time, she did not lose much of her memory.
"Either the contract or you die!"
Xia Tianqiong spoke calmly, as if issuing a command.
The Demon King trembled, having just experienced death, which almost caused him to lose his Dao heart.
He subconsciously nodded in agreement to Xia Tianqiong's words, afraid that if he was even a little slow, he would be killed.
Xia Tianqiong looked at the Wolf King and the others, and smiled slightly, "What about you? Do you choose death? Or the Human Lord Contract?"
The wolf king and the other three ghost kings exchanged glances and were about to flee when they suddenly felt themselves enveloped by a powerful and violent aura.
The ghost bride stood there quietly, her presence already locked onto them.
Anyone who dares to make a move will be met with a fierce attack.
Even if they weren't injured, they wouldn't be a match for the Ghost Bride, let alone the fact that they are both injured right now.
I'm filled with regret right now. I should have left earlier; why did I have to stay?
The Wolf King shook his head and smiled bitterly, then said to the other three Ghost Kings, "Never mind, he'll be replaced by the Sovereign sooner or later anyway, so there's nothing wrong with signing a contract with him."
After saying that, he took the lead in signing the Human Lord Contract with Xia Tianqiong.
The other three Ghost Kings could only smile wryly, and in the end, they all signed the contract.
Apart from the Wolf King, who was once Jun Shisan's follower, the other Ghost Kings only wanted Jun Shisan to owe them a favor so that he could take them with him when he opened the passage to the Upper Realm in the future.
As a result, things went wrong, and he got himself into trouble.
