Upon hearing this, the ghost generals all began to flatter him:
"Ghost King, you are truly cunning and treacherous!"
"No one is more cunning and treacherous than the Ghost King!"
"No, it should be described as cunning and treacherous like a devil."
"But we were already ghosts, weren't we?"
...
Seeing the ghost generals arguing among themselves, the Ghost King's eyelids twitched: "In this situation, you should use your divine wisdom."
“But aren’t gods and us ghosts mortal enemies? How can you use their words to describe us?” one of the ghost generals questioned.
Ghost King: "..."
I used to think that only Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had some mental issues, but now it seems that these ghost generals are not very bright.
So he said directly, "Power is very important now. The six of you should not take any risks. Leave that person's matter to the human realm."
“Follow my call and come to me as soon as possible.”
After he finished speaking, the black light disappeared without giving the guys a chance to ask questions.
...
On the other side, Qiu Honglei and Wei Suo heard the information they had obtained from Zu An's interrogation and exclaimed in surprise: "The Ghost King is not invincible, he is completely unkillable!"
If you're immune to both physical and elemental attacks, how are you supposed to fight?
“It’s not necessarily a problem.” Jing Teng said thoughtfully.
"What method?" The group immediately looked at her.
“I haven’t thought of anything yet,” Jing Teng smiled slightly, “but Heaven wouldn’t create an existence without any weaknesses. There must be something we haven’t discovered yet.”
Zuan nodded secretly. This was pretty much what he had guessed before, but he still felt that Jing Teng was hiding something.
Soon the group returned to the dilapidated house in the mountains, and from afar they could hear Sakura wailing.
Jing Teng was startled and hurriedly rushed back.
The group exchanged glances. Had some ghostly creature come when they left?
When everyone arrived, they found Sakura holding her mother and crying bitterly. The old woman was wearing a brightly colored floral dress, and her eyes had closed forever.
Jing Teng gently comforted her, and Xiao Ying, wiping away her tears, asked, "Grandma, why didn't I see my mother's ghost after she died?"
Jing Teng comforted her, saying, "The reason why ghosts are formed in the world is often because the deceased had great resentment or obsessions that were not resolved in their lifetime. Your mother saw her daughter, whom she had been searching for all her life, at the last moment before she died. Her wish was fulfilled, so she naturally will not become a ghost."
“Look at your mother’s lips, didn’t she pass away with a smile on her face?” Jing Teng squatted down beside her. “Your mother should be reincarnated soon, isn’t that a kind of luck?”
As a ghost, Sakura naturally knew that their state prevented them from entering the cycle of reincarnation. They were considered alien beings in the world and would eventually be rejected by heaven and earth. Being able to reincarnate was indeed a kind of luck.
"My mother's life has been too tragic. I hope she will be happier in her next life. It's all my fault for being an unfilial daughter..."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face again, which saddened everyone present.
After she calmed down a bit, the group buried her ashes together with her mother's, according to her wishes.
Now that there is no one left in her family, there is no need for those complicated funeral rites. She just wants her mother to be laid to rest as soon as possible.
As the urn was laid to rest and her obsession was resolved, Sakura's figure became increasingly faint. She first thanked Jing Teng for taking care of her over the years, and then pulled Zu An aside.
She tilted her head, scrutinizing Zu'an carefully, without saying a word.
Zuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What does Miss Xiaoying want to say?"
"So handsome. It's a pity I didn't get to sleep with you back then. I remained a virgin my whole life, and I never thought I'd still be like this even as a ghost." Sakura sighed softly, her voice filled with regret.
Zuan: "..."
Sakura chuckled: "Just kidding, young master."
She quickly stopped smiling and lowered her voice, saying, "Young master, our grandmother is very pitiful. You must take good care of her."
Zu An chuckled: "Miss Jing is a strong woman. She doesn't actually need anyone to take care of her; she can live a more wonderful life than others."
Xiaoying shook her head slightly: "Young master, you don't know her well enough. Grandma is a typical example of someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She appears very strong, but her heart is exceptionally soft, especially after what happened back then."
Zuan remained silent, wondering what love was in this world...
“Young master, Grandma experienced betrayal once before,” Xiaoying looked at him deeply, “Young master, please don’t let her experience betrayal a second time.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not like Zang Ao,” Zu An said, then paused, “Jing and I don’t have that kind of relationship, so what’s this about betrayal?”
Sakura smiled slightly: "Young Master will understand in the future."
Without waiting for further questions, he turned and left, expressing his gratitude to Qiu Honglei and Wei Suo. Finally, he bowed three times to Jing Teng before reluctantly disappearing into the wind.
Jing Teng sighed softly. How could he not feel sad as familiar people around him left one by one?
"Take it easy, Sakura left with her wish fulfilled," Zuan comforted her.
Jing Teng glanced at him, his expression softening slightly: "What did she just say to you?"
Qiu Honglei looked over curiously, while Zu An looked somewhat awkward: "It's nothing, just a normal farewell."
"Really? She said goodbye to you more than she said goodbye to me. I've wasted so many years raising her." Jing Teng's tone was a little annoyed, but he wasn't really angry.
Zuan chuckled: "Now that we've buried Sakura, let's go find your original self and revive you as soon as possible."
"Do you really want to send me away like that?" Jing Teng stared at him quietly.
