At this moment, Qiu Honglei walked to her side, her slender fingers gently tracing her smooth face, and said with a smile, "For a woman as beautiful as you, sometimes death is not the most terrifying thing."
The beautiful woman's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
Qiu Honglei smiled charmingly: "As a woman, you naturally know what I mean."
Her gaze swept over Zuan, completely ignoring him, and then she said to Wei Suo, "Brother Wei, didn't you want to have a one-night stand with these female ghosts? This girl is a lucky find for you."
Vesso, who had been tormented by the flowers, suddenly brightened up upon hearing this: "Really?"
“Of course it’s true. If this girl doesn’t remove the spell on you, it means she’d love to be with you,” Qiu Honglei replied.
To everyone's surprise, the beautiful woman breathed a sigh of relief: "He is now restrained by my vine seed, so even if he has the will, he doesn't have the strength."
Vesso's face immediately fell; his pride was deeply wounded.
Wow, what a great opportunity!
Qiu Honglei was taken aback and also a little annoyed. She pushed Zu An directly and said, "At worst, let him come."
Zuan: "..."
I'm really getting shot even when I'm not doing anything.
A faint smile appeared on the beautiful woman's lips: "He's your man, are you willing to let him go?"
Qiu Honglei replied naturally, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, especially since he did it to save his brother. It's nothing to sacrifice himself."
Zuan: "???"
Vesso almost shed tears. If this could save his brother, he would save him every day.
The beautiful woman frowned, and her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "He's quite handsome, so I'm not at a disadvantage."
Now it was Qiu Honglei's turn to be completely bewildered.
Then she got angry: "A demon is a demon! What a shameless woman! Just kill her!"
As she spoke, she took out a pair of gleaming double blades and pretended to brandish them at her.
"Have mercy!" Just then, a cry of surprise rang out. It turned out that the female ghost, Sakura, had hurriedly returned, lifting her skirt.
She had run away early because she was afraid of her grandmother, but later she was worried about that handsome young man, so she secretly came back to see him. Who knew that she would see that her usually invincible grandmother had been subdued.
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "You're pleading for her? Aren't you very afraid of her?"
Because of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", he subconsciously regarded the other person as a miserable female ghost who was oppressed and controlled by her grandmother.
"Grandma is really fierce, and I'm afraid of her, but she's actually quite nice to us," Xiaoying said timidly.
Zuan and Qiu Honglei exchanged a glance, never expecting such a turn of events.
Seeing that the two seemed unconvinced, Xiaoying hurriedly said, "It was because of Grandma's protection that I wasn't captured by the Demon King's men. Over the years, Grandma has strictly forbidden us from harming people. We are only allowed to find those lecherous scoundrels to absorb their yang energy, but we have never taken their lives. They can recover after a period of recuperation."
"You're lying!" Qiu Honglei's expression turned cold. "Many people have been murdered near Ruolan Temple. Do you think we don't know that?"
Vesso nodded hurriedly. He had come here to meet the female ghost because of the rumors of ghosts... cough cough, to rid the people of this scourge!
Sakura quickly explained, "We really didn't harm anyone. Those were just some bad guys in town who killed people because they were greedy, lustful, or violent, and then dumped their bodies near Ruolan Temple to frame us."
Zuan and his group were stunned, never expecting things to turn out this way.
"Sakura, why bother explaining this to them!" The beautiful woman was somewhat annoyed, clearly feeling that such behavior was tantamount to begging for mercy.
"But your senior sister just now seems to have sucked people's life essence more than once or twice." Zu An sneered. The guy had a fierce look on his face and his body was stained with blood.
Sakura said weakly, "Sometimes my senior sister can't help herself and will secretly drain people dry, but she doesn't do it too often because she's worried about Grandma."
The beautiful woman suddenly opened her eyes: "There's such a thing? Why didn't you tell me before?!"
Sakura trembled slightly, clearly sensing the immense power the other party wielded: "Because Senior Sister and Grandma are from the same clan, we dare not say."
"Fellow clansmen?" The beautiful woman's face turned frosty. "I only taught her a few things out of pity back then. How can she be considered my fellow clansmen? If I had known she was so vicious, I should have killed her long ago!"
Zuan laughed and said, "Since that's the case, there's no longer any enmity between us. For Sakura's sake, I'll let you go. In return, you save my friend. How about it?"
The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
"To show my sincerity, I'll let you go first." Zu An released his grip and took a few steps back.
Qiu Honglei was a little worried, but Zu An gave her a look that reassured her that it wouldn't be difficult for him to subdue her.
A look of surprise flashed across the beautiful woman's face. Then she reached out and beckoned to Wei Suo. Countless green lights flew out from his body, and then all the dense tree buds and flowers on his body disappeared.
Vesso patted himself all over and grinned like an idiot.
The beautiful woman turned and walked out, saying, "Sakura, let's go!"
"Wait!" Zu'an called out to her.
The beautiful woman suddenly turned around: "Humans are indeed all untrustworthy!"
Zu An laughed and said, "Miss, you're overthinking it. I have no intention of making things difficult for you. I just want to ask you a few questions. Have you seen any women?"
He then gave her a general description of the appearances of Yan Xuehen, Yun Jianyue, and Xie Daoyun.
"I didn't expect you to be such a womanizer," the beautiful woman sneered. "Never seen you before."
Judging from our conversation just now, she doesn't seem to be lying.
Disappointed, Zu'an asked again, "By the way, what's this Ghost King you were talking about?"
