At the same time, Sang Huo handed Yan Xiu a jade pendant: "This is my room key. Tell that girl to come see me in person."
Yanxiu held the jade pendant, about to ask a few more questions, when Sang Huo had already disappeared.
The madam finally stuffed the fallen eyeball back into its socket.
She pulled Yanxiu aside and asked, "That woman, what's that woman doing here?"
Yanxiu looked completely bewildered: "My master came with the Ghost Lord, is there a problem?"
The madam's eyes darted around, and she immediately thought of the rumors circulating in the streets.
She asked, "What is the relationship between that woman and Lord Ghost?"
What is the relationship...?
How should I put it?
Yanxiu composed herself and said, "You know it's Ghost Lord's wedding today, right?"
Who in Wuwang City doesn't know about this?
Moreover, it is rumored that the Ghost Lord was abandoned by his bride.
Could it be...?
The madam's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, but she quickly pressed them back down: "Is that the bride who is marrying Lord Ghost Lord today?"
"Sigh." Yanxiu nodded. "Smart."
"I heard the two didn't get married?" the madam asked Yanxiu with expectant eyes.
Yan Xiu glanced at her and said, "With your looks and your gender, you're probably not a good match for my master."
"I only ask you, is she married to the Ghost Lord?" That was all the madam cared about.
Seeing her persistent questioning, Yanxiu had no choice but to reply, "No, my master has shaken off the Ghost Lord."
"That's wonderful!" The madam gazed in the direction Sang Huo had left. "Your wait has finally paid off."
Upon entering the room, Su Diandian was studying a table of fine wine and dishes that had just been served.
She poked the roast goose with her chopsticks and tasted the bits of the chopsticks.
It tastes no different from regular roast goose.
But the thought that it might be a tribute or a burial item made her feel uneasy.
Seeing her disgusted look, the waiter serving the food trembled with fear: "Sir, if you are not satisfied with the dishes, I will replace them for you."
Su Diandian shook her head. "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, I'm just curious about where your dishes come from?"
The servant was stumped by the question, "The dishes... of course the chef made them."
"How did they do it?" Su Diandian wondered, "There shouldn't be any living things in the Void, right?"
The servant trembled again. "This...should I go and fetch the chef so he can explain the preparation process to you in detail?"
Upon hearing this, Su Diandian waved her hand, "No need, you can go now."
"Alas." The servant felt as if he had been granted a pardon and fled the room as if he were escaping.
Yan Xiu followed closely into the room. She looked around the room but didn't see Lu Jian.
Her first question was, "Where is the Ghost Lord?"
Su Diandian pointed to the inner room and mouthed, "Going to change clothes, a cool and refreshing style."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiu drooled all over the ground, "Master, you are the best. Even the Ghost Lord is willing to bow down to you."
"Thank your predecessor." Su Diandian gave a knowing look, but Yan Xiu didn't get it.
Remembering her important matter, she quickly reported, "The courtesan Sang Huo had stopped accepting customers, but I followed your method, Master, and used spirit stones to smash her."
"Get to the point." Su Diandian stood up. "We need to time her arrival perfectly."
"The courtesan Sang Huo says she wants you to come to his room for a private meeting." Yan Xiu handed over a jade token. "This is the key to his room."
Is it that complicated?
Su Diandian hesitated for three seconds, then walked around the table and took the jade token: "Alright, then I'll go and meet this beautiful lady myself."
After saying that, she held the jade pendant and stepped out the door.
Yan Xiu, who was behind, was stunned for a moment and muttered to herself, "Great beauty? What great beauty? Yan Gui Sang Huo is a male ghost."
She realized what was happening and slapped her thigh: "Oh no! Master thought Sang Huo was a woman!"
She thought her master knew!
Then, should we still proceed with the matter of having Sang Huo serve the Ghost Lord?
"Master! Master!" Yanxiu ran out of the room and called out several times, but Su Diandian had already disappeared.
As Su Diandian stepped out the door with the jade pendant in her hand, the scene before her eyes suddenly changed.
A door appeared before her.
She stepped forward and gently knocked on the door: "Miss Courtesan? May I come in?"
No one answered from inside the door.
After a long silence, Su Diandian chose to push the door open directly.
But there was another door behind the first one.
Undeterred, she continued to push the door open.
But this door is like a nesting doll; no matter how you push it, you can never finish pushing it open.
After pushing open the eighteenth door, Su Diandian took a deep breath, "Damn it, whoever wants to see this courtesan can have her."
She threw the jade pendant under her feet and stomped on it repeatedly.
After the jade tablet was crushed, the door in front of him suddenly creaked open by itself.
Inside the door, everything was white, not fog, but countless white veils.
Do ghosts all have such bizarre aesthetic tastes?
With so much white gauze, it doesn't look like a bedroom; it looks more like a funeral parlor.
The white veil swayed in the wind, blurring Su Diandian's vision.
She stepped inside and politely greeted, "Miss Courtesan? Are you there? May I come in?"
Still, no one answered.
Su Diandian comforted herself, saying that it was normal for a courtesan to be a little arrogant, since she was admired by many.
"Miss Courtesan?" she called out again, raising her voice.
Still no one answered.
Damn! I can't stand it.
"Alright, bye-bye. What courtesan? Whoever wants to see her can see her." Su Diandian said, turning around to leave.
But the door behind him had vanished without a trace.
No door? No problem! We'll just open one!
"Brother Lei! Open the door for me!" Su Diandian had just shouted when someone suddenly hugged her from behind.
