Chapter 158 Why Do Workers Make Things Difficult for Themselves?
Jiang Jiu was not surprised to hear this answer. She felt helpless and was about to reach out and rub her temples when she remembered that she was a ghost now and could only let go of her hand helplessly.
"I'm going to go find him."
Jiang Jiu said.
"Fairy... please don't embarrass me."
Although Gu Ji admired Jiang Jiu very much, this was only because Yu Zimo was not suppressing her. Now that Yu Zimo had clearly ordered that Jiang Jiu should not be allowed to run around, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and refuse Jiang Jiu's request.
"...All right."
Jiang Jiu sighed and did not choose to make things difficult for Gu Ji. Why should a working person make things difficult for another working person?
"Forget it, I'll contact him."
Jiang Jiu's gaze moved to the Nether Fire Bracelet on his wrist. He touched it lightly with his fingertips, releasing some spiritual power. The bracelet was awakened, and the Nether Fire burst out from it, protecting Jiang Jiu completely.
The Bone Princess beside her was startled and stepped back a long distance before she calmed down.
After all, even if she was a ghost general, if she was ignited by the Netherworld Fire, she would end up being burned to ashes.
But she didn't expect that the master would give all the Nether Fire to Fairy Qingyuan for protection.
"Yu Zimo, I know you can hear me, don't get into a fight with Chi Li!"
Jiang Jiu, leveraging the Netherworld Fire's ability to transmit information, shouted at the flames.
She waited for one second, two seconds, three seconds... half a minute later, there was still no reaction in the flame, and Jiang Jiu's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Yu Zimo must have heard it, but he actually ignored her call.
He looked like a good guy just now, completely different from the crazy and yandere person he used to be.
"He is indeed pretending!"
Jiang Jiu gritted his teeth and suddenly felt that men were untrustworthy.
"never mind."
Jiang Jiu was deflated and took back the Nether Fire Bracelet. She stood there with an expression as if her body was hollowed out. This was especially true since she was now a ghost and her eyes were slightly blue.
"Fairy?"
Seeing Jiang Jiu's appearance, Gu Ji couldn't help but feel worried, so she stepped forward and asked tentatively.
"I'm fine, I just feel a little complicated."
Jiang Jiu waved his hand to reassure Gu Ji, then turned around and walked back to the room, silently closing the door.
Today, as an autistic person, she doesn't want to talk to others.
“…”
Gu Ji stood outside the door with a big question mark above her head.
Why....
Fairy Qingyuan is completely different from the rumors?
Isn't she a domineering person in the legend who believes that those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish?
How could...
Gu Ji fell into deep thought.
...
On the other side, the ninth heaven of the upper realm.
The atmosphere in the Temple of the Seven Stars was extremely depressing. The Seven Stars were kneeling in the hall, and Chi Li was sitting firmly in the main seat. His narrow eyes were half-closed, with the corners of his eyes raised, revealing a half-human, half-beast form. His whole body exuded an extremely terrifying aura, like a monster that was angered and awakened from its slumber, full of oppression.
"Zhenxing, you have been my subordinate for thousands of years, and I have treated you well."
Chi Li raised his eyelids and looked at Zhen Xing who was kneeling with his head down. His tone was nonchalant, but the slightly trembling fox ears and the dancing fox tail behind him showed how irritated and angry the owner of the tail was.
Suixing glanced at Zhenxing secretly and wanted to answer Chi Li's question on behalf of Zhenxing, but the words got stuck in his throat as soon as he opened his mouth.
"God has always been..." very good to us.
Chi Li's pressure was instantly imposed on Suixing, leaving him unable to utter a word. The pressure forced Suixing to lower his head.
"Zhenxing, are you mute?"
Chi Li glanced at Suixing lightly, and his gaze fell on Zhenxing. It almost turned into substance, piercing every inch of Zhenxing's skin and causing pain.
"The gods are very kind to us."
Zhen Xing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he gritted his teeth and answered Chi Li's question stubbornly.
"Then why did you hurt her!?"
Chi Li's half-closed eyes opened instantly, and a huge amount of spiritual power swept across the entire hall, forcing all seven stars to retreat, almost flying into the wall.
"God, please calm down!"
"There must be something else going on. Please calm down, God!"
Riyue had been busy these days and was basically not in the palace. He didn't know much about what Zhenxing had done, but as colleagues who had worked together for thousands of years, they naturally had some feelings for each other. Seeing Chili so angry, Riyue subconsciously spoke up to stop him.
Zhenxing lowered his eyes, looked up at Chili, and spoke without giving in.
"I did it. She is truly unworthy of you, the Supreme God. How could you, the Nine-Tailed God, do this for a fickle woman..."
Before Zhenxing could finish his words, he flew backwards. The air seemed to freeze in that instant. Everyone except Chenxing looked at Zhenxing with horror, as if to say, "Is Zhenxing crazy?"
At the same time, Chi Li moved his gaze to the entrance of the temple, where a figure was standing.
A sinister aura gradually permeated the entire Seven Political Temple. Such behavior was tantamount to the ultimate provocation, and anger flashed in Chi Li's eyes.
"Since the Lord of the Ghost Realm has come to visit us, there is no need to offer such a grand gift."
Chi Li frowned slightly.
"If you can't manage your people, I'll manage them for you."
Yu Zimo slowly walked out of the thick fog-like ghost energy, and the power at his fingertips slowly dissipated.
It turned out that it was not Chi Li who made Zhen Xing fly backwards just now, but Yu Zimo who took the initiative to attack.
"Don't bother me, Ghost Master."
Chi Li suppressed his impatience and didn't want to conflict with Yu Zimo for the time being, so he spoke slowly.
"Oh? Xiao Jiu'er has now appeared in my ghost domain. Your men have killed him. If they were in the ghost domain, I would have strung them together like wicks to serve as a warning to others."
Yu Zimo looked at Chi Li with a smile on his face, and his words shocked everyone in the hall again.
"Ghost Lord, please don't speak nonsense. Fairy Qingyuan is staying in the palace right now. How could she possibly appear in the ghost realm?"
Jupiter couldn't help but retort.
When Yu Zimo heard this, his originally gloomy face suddenly became so terrifying that it could stop a child from crying at night. He looked directly at Chi Li and questioned him.
"What's going on? Did you let other monsters take over Xiao Jiu'er's body?!"
Chi Li was about to retort, but the strange feeling he had when he was with Jiang Jiu in the past two days suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say for a moment.
Because he now began to suspect that Jiang Jiu's body was being controlled by other ghosts.
“…”
The hall became extremely quiet for a moment until light footsteps were heard from the side hall door.
"You came at a really bad time. That loser actually met you so soon."
"I haven't even started yet, and you've already exposed my true identity. What a disgusting existence."
There was a strong sense of annoyance in Jiang Jiu's tone, and only when he saw Chi Li's drastically changed expression did he reveal a frivolous smile on his face.
"Fox spirit, you are easier to deceive than I thought. Your love for your true self is really cheap and ridiculous."
