Chapter 47
The Ghost Emperor's performance shocked everyone present, but those who were already there were relatively normal.
However, judging from their dull behavior, their normality is actually a bit exaggerated.
Vice President Ding was slightly better and reacted quickly.
After all, she had indeed experienced a lot of things, and having a ghost husband was not a big deal. At most, it was a little shocking that the Ghost Emperor was jealous of others.
But just when she wanted to say a few words to calm the mood at the scene, the Ghost Emperor continued with a look of grievance and anger.
"Ye Wangxing! Are you going to choose me or him now?!"
This made Lu Shi even more excited. Although he did not say anything about the first and second houses to provoke the Ghost Emperor, just the fact that he stretched out his hand to Ye Wangxing and looked as if begging him to save him was enough to provoke the Ghost Emperor.
Seeing that they were about to fight again, Yu Yi on the side also wanted to step forward.
Vice President Ding looked helpless.
Why do kids nowadays never mind watching the fun? If the Ghost Emperor really takes action, the situation will be totally out of control.
Vice President Ding saw Yu Yi trying to step forward and was about to persuade her, but before she could open her mouth, she heard a loud shout.
“That’s enough!”
Vice President Ding watched helplessly as Yu Yi's foot, which had stepped forward, retracted and he took three steps back.
Vice President Ding found it strange that Ye Wangxing looked frightened. Could it be that his expression had become so ferocious that it was scary?
However, when he looked up, he found that Ye Wangxing had his head lowered and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Only when Vice President Ding looked over did Ye Wangxing slowly raise his head, allowing people to clearly see the anger and rage in his eyes.
His knife was still on his neck, but his eyes no longer had the numbness they had before. Instead, he looked as if he was completely enraged, and spoke to the Ghost Emperor over there.
"I've said enough, Xie Yu, how long are you going to keep teasing me?"
Ye Wangxing said with blazing anger in his eyes: "I don't believe you didn't see that my friend just wanted to save me."
As Ye Wangxing spoke, the aggrieved expression on the Ghost Emperor's face disappeared, and he returned to his interested look.
Vice President Ding suddenly woke up. Indeed, how could a Ghost Emperor, especially one who could control a quarter of the ghosts, become such a resentful woman?
Even if he was interested in humans, he wouldn't lose his mind to this extent.
The only explanation is that he was playing a very novel game.
...It was so novel that Vice President Ding, who was over 50 years old, was a little confused.
Are young people having so much fun nowadays?
No, the Ghost Emperor is old enough to have seen Chang'e fly to the moon from the time Chang'e flew to the moon to the time he saw Chang'e fly to the moon again.
Does that mean the ancient people today were having such exciting fun?
Vice President Ding was still thinking, and after hearing Ye Wangxing's words, the Ghost Emperor just silently let Lu Shi go. Once Lu Shi was released, he no longer made any provocative behavior. He quickly ran back to Ye Wangxing's side.
The Ghost Emperor didn't say anything, but just looked at Ye Wangxing quietly, with that interested smile still on his face.
After Ye Wangxing protected Lu Shi who ran back to him, the knife was still on his neck.
Vice President Ding watched as the young man pulled the knife from Ye Wangxing's neck several times but failed. Ye Wangxing even pressed the knife further into his neck, drawing a streak of blood. The young man was so frightened that he dared not move.
"Wangxing, put the knife down first, don't get hurt."
There was a tremor in the young man's voice.
However, the only response he got was Ye Wangxing's cold words.
"I'm fine, this is just fine."
Lu Shi was so frightened that he dared not say a word. The 1.9-meter-tall man stood there like a pillar, at a loss as to what to do.
Vice President Ding couldn't bear to watch this scene, so he turned around and found that the young boy next to him was also a little abnormal. He was trembling, covering his mouth, and his eyes were full of fear as if he was afraid of something.
Vice President Ding could see that the young man wanted to go forward to help, but his feet seemed to be fixed in place, not daring to move. This made Vice President Ding suspicious.
At this time, Ye Wangxing started talking again.
"Although I don't know why you signed a love oath with me right away, and I don't know why you said you wanted to register your marriage with me in the human world, I know that a Ghost Emperor would definitely not casually sign a heavenly oath like the love oath with someone they just met for the first time."
Ye Wangxing spoke calmly, his face completely devoid of his previous lively expression. He appeared calm, mature, and steady, which made the Ghost Emperor's eyes dazed for a moment.
Vice President Ding caught this moment and immediately lowered her eyes and began to think about this look.
"Could it be that Ye Wangxing was some important figure in his previous life, and was acquainted with the Ghost Emperor, which is why the Ghost Emperor signed a vow of loyalty with Ye Wangxing the first time they met in this life, to prevent Ye Wangxing from harming him?"
Vice President Ding was thinking straight.
Just as Vice President Ding was thinking, the Ghost Emperor floated to Ye Wangxing's side. His expression was playful, and it seemed as if his previous performance was really teasing Ye Wangxing.
However, Vice President Ding felt that something was wrong. Could the Ghost Emperor really be so childish, just to play with Ye Wangxing?
Ye Wangxing, with an expressionless face, pressed the knife to his neck again after seeing him approaching, and said.
"...So is there anything about me that would warrant you spending so much time on it, even resorting to such childish, mindless actions?"
The handsome Ghost Emperor did not make any direct response to Ye Wangxing's words. He just curled the corners of his mouth, pinched Ye Wangxing's chin again, shortened the distance between them to a few centimeters, and said.
"...Your clever look now actually makes me feel more sincere."
Things went incredibly smoothly afterwards. The Ghost Emperor really followed them out of Qingfeng Temple and was willing to come to the headquarters of the Religious Association to confirm registration with Ye Wangxing.
——In fact, they had suggested that staff members go out to register the Ghost Emperor.
After all, that is the headquarters of the religious association. If this person goes crazy inside, the religious association will be in danger.
However, instead of agreeing with their suggestion, he also floated beside Ye Wangxing with an interested look on his face.
Even after the Ghost Emperor finally calmed down, Ye Wangxing still looked a little angry, especially when facing Lu Shi, his face was even colder.
His childhood friend didn't even dare to get close to him, and could only pull Ye Wangxing's sleeves or his clothes.
"Wang Xing, I will never do such a dangerous thing again."
"I just want to help you. I don't care about my own danger."
"Besides, I really can't help it. Watching you being forced to marry that evil spirit is like watching you being kidnapped by bandits..."
Lu Shi spoke humbly all the way, which made Zhou Tianning, who finally figured out the situation, a little annoyed.
Zhou Tianning is now sitting in the passenger seat, and the driver is Vice President Ding - he personally takes charge to ensure that the Ghost Emperor and Ye Wangxing in the back do not fight.
The car they drove was a 6-seater, so Vice President Ding not only brought Zhou Tianning to support her, but also brought along those people who didn't want to leave Ye Wangxing.
The young boy named Yu Yi was really quiet. In his previous life, he was also the one who couldn't say a word for three days.
But now it seems that he is a little afraid of the Ghost Emperor. He has been sitting in his seat obediently, not even daring to raise his head.
But the guy named Lu Shi was really noisy.
Zhou Tianning thought with some dissatisfaction.
He really couldn't understand why this ordinary person had so much to say, and Ye Wangxing ignored him. Isn't this normal?
Since they are not from the same class, it is normal for Ye Wangxing to completely cut off ties with him.
Ordinary people still want to get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Master. Isn't this just asking for death?
Zhou Tianning was so impatient that her face showed impatience. Fortunately, her ghost husband quietly emerged from her jade gourd and helped her block out the sound coming from the other side.
However, Zhou Tianning also noticed that the Ghost Emperor in the rearview mirror glanced at him, but did not say anything. Zhou Tianning also silently breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Ghost Emperor did not want to eat ghosts when he saw them.
This also allowed Zhou Tianning to finally calm down and sort out today's situation.
Judging from the current situation, the Ghost Emperor seems to have taken a fancy to Ye Wangxing's talent, so he signed an oath of unity with Ye Wangxing.
But how did the Ghost Emperor know about Ye Wangxing? You have to know that Ye Wangxing's talent is only spread within the association now, and it has not spread outside like in his previous life after experiencing some events, making Ye Wangxing famous.
Zhou Tianning also clearly understood that with his current abilities, he would never be able to trigger such a huge butterfly effect.
Could it be that...
Zhou Tianning raised his head again and glanced at the Ghost Emperor behind him. However, the Ghost Emperor only looked at him as an ordinary person. And from his words and actions, he didn't show any special treatment towards him.
This shows that he has no idea about the Zhou family's ghost-controlling deeds in their previous life.
If he knew, the Ghost Emperor would probably come and kill him immediately.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tianning's heart, which had just been tense, relaxed again.
As long as he wasn't reborn like him.
Otherwise, if a Ghost Emperor is reborn, all his previous plans will be in vain.
Zhou Tianning didn't know whether he was deceiving himself or really thinking so.
He moved his fingers and communicated with his ghost husband in his mind, asking him to unmute the phone.
At this time, the sound from the car also reached his ears.
However, what Zhou Tianning did not expect was that the mortal was still persevering in talking to Ye Wangxing and apologizing.
It seemed that hard work paid off. Finally, when they were about to arrive at the religious association, this ordinary person coaxed Ye Wangxing into talking to him.
"...Lu Shi, you not only don't value your own life, but also your aunt's life."
Ye Wangxing relaxed his expression and spoke seriously to Lu Shi who was standing diagonally behind him.
"Xie Yu is more interested in me now, but have you ever thought about what you did just now? If you did that to other ghosts, they would really be able to find your home through the network cable, which would be disadvantageous to your aunt and uncle."
As Ye Wangxing spoke, Lu Shi listened carefully and nodded to indicate that he would never do that again in the future.
"...And Wangxing, I also asked my parents to put up the talismans you installed in my house."
Lu Shi said.
But his expression always gave the impression that he was not very anxious about this matter.
This made Ye Wangxing open his mouth, but he didn't know what he was thinking and closed his mouth again, which made Zhou Tianning sneer in his heart.
"Another ordinary person who is unaware of the power of evil spirits."
Those ghosts are naturally very easy to deal with for their heavenly masters, and it even seems very easy, but in fact, for ordinary people, the lethality of these ghosts is no less than that of some large beasts.
Especially now that ghosts are updated, if you happen to encounter some evil ghosts from the new era, it won’t be difficult to find their home through their network cables.
The guy named Ye is just too naive. Does he really think that ordinary people can understand the seriousness of this matter?
However, Zhou Tianning did not show it in front of Ye Wangxing, and even showed appropriate respect to Ye Wangxing when he got off the car. However, this respect was not for Ye Wangxing, but for the Ghost Emperor.
What the Ghost Emperor's attitude towards Ye Wangxing is now is a matter between them. All he needs to do is show respect to him in front of the Ghost Emperor.
As expected, after seeing Zhou Tianning's attitude, the Ghost Emperor's temper improved a lot, and he even nodded to Zhou Tianning. Although it was just a casual nod, it made Zhou Tianning secretly affirm in his heart that he had done the right thing.
However, the man named Lu who was following Ye Wangxing and the young boy who was rescued by Ye Wangxing were completely ignored by Zhou Tianning.
What kind of dream is it that an ordinary person would want to gain the respect of a Heavenly Master?
Zhou Tianning thought about it and turned to enter the religious association.
What happened next was not something he could participate in. After all, the Ghost Emperor and the Heavenly Master of their association had signed a covenant, and this really needed to be discussed in a meeting.
Zhou Tianning returned to the office and slightly adjusted his plan to seize the opportunity. After marking a location, he came out and saw the man named Lu standing at the end of the corridor and talking on the phone.
Unfortunately, his office was right at the end of the corridor, but Zhou Tianning had no interest in eavesdropping on other people's phone calls, and of course he had no interest in giving way to that ordinary person, so he walked over and planned to go into the office and close the door.
When I walked to the ordinary person and was about to open the door, I heard the ordinary person talking to the person on the other end of the phone.
"...Oh, yes, the magnetic field blocker at my parents' house must be turned on. That thing can obviously and effectively block those bad magnetic fields from entering our house."
Hearing this, Zhou Tianning paused. He knew about the magnetic field trap; it was a government-developed technology specifically designed to deal with ghosts. Its advantage over existing products was that it could be mass-produced.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. They can only block ghosts but cannot eliminate them. Once people leave the house, they will still be captured by ghosts.
However, this kind of magnetic field capturer is only sold by official sources now. Could it be that this ordinary person surnamed Lu is actually an official?
Zhou Tianning was shocked when he thought of this, and the speed of opening the door slowed down again. The official people had mixed up with Ye Wangxing, so this matter was definitely not simple.
Moreover, this person surnamed Lu was already by Ye Wangxing's side in his previous life. Could it be that some of the information that the official knew in his previous life was leaked from Ye Wangxing?
Just as Zhou Tianning was thinking more and more about conspiracy theories, the man surnamed Lu said to the person on the other end of the phone.
"That's right. It has the same effect as the infrared magnetic therapy pillow you bought, Mom. It prevents harmful magnetic fields from entering your body during treatment, but this magnetic field shield only works within the entire house."
Zhou Tianning: ...
Is he overthinking this, or not?
——But which official would tell his family that the magnetic field shielding device costing hundreds of thousands of dollars is the same thing as that fraudulent infrared magnetic therapy pillow!
But this incident still took root in Zhou Tianning's heart. He was even a little dazed and didn't react until he bumped into several staff members.
"Master Zhou! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so anxious just now that I didn't see you!"
The staff member originally wanted to say a few words, but when he saw that the person opposite him was Zhou Tianning, he immediately shut his mouth and turned his original words into a crazy apology.
Her apology was timely, and Zhou Tianning just frowned and said, "Be more careful next time."
The staff member then breathed a sigh of relief and watched Zhou Tianning leave before turning around and quickly handing the documents into the conference room.
When he returned to his workstation, the staff member looked as pale as if he had just run 800 meters.
"Hey, Xiao Wu, what happened? Is he being chased by a ghost?"
The colleague next to him said it jokingly, but the staff member surnamed Wu just waved his hand and spoke with a tired look on his face.
"It's much scarier than a ghost. I just went out to deliver some documents and ended up bumping into Master Zhou. If I hadn't apologized in time, I would have almost died right there."
Xiao Wu said this with an expression full of relief.
It's great to live another day.JPG
After hearing what Xiao Wu said, another colleague came over and said, "No way, although Master Zhou Tianshi looks a little cold, he doesn't look like someone who would kill someone just because they bumped into him. We live in a society ruled by law now."
When Xiao Wu and his friend heard this, they looked at their colleague with sympathy.
"Yes, in a society ruled by law. If Master Zhou Tian killed someone in front of you, he would indeed be arrested by the authorities. But what if the other party has the ability to blind the driver and let you get hit by a dump truck while you are walking?"
The colleague was immediately startled, but Xiao Wu was still talking to his colleague seriously.
"Master Zhou's family has inherited the art of controlling ghosts. If he doesn't do anything, why not let the ghosts in his family do it?"
At this time, Xiao Wu's friend also came over and said to his colleague.
"And what his family is best at is the unending love between humans and ghosts. Those ghosts would do anything for their family members. Is killing someone just a small thing more important than the feelings of Zhou's family members? This is what their ghosts often do."
The colleague was frightened on the spot and immediately promised to stay eight feet away from Master Zhou in the future. He was even worried that this would make Master Zhou think that they were isolating him.
"Don't worry about that. Master Zhou is so high up in the sky that he wouldn't look down upon us mortals."
Xiao Wu said sarcastically.
But it did make my colleagues breathe a sigh of relief, and they turned around and continued to do their work.
As time passed, they gradually found out why President Ding hurriedly took a group of association members out this morning.
The Ghost Emperor is born.
This is definitely big news for the people in the association, especially since they really know that the birth of the Ghost Emperor means big trouble for the religious association.
Although Vice President Ding quickly sent a 60-second voice message in the group via WeChat, explaining clearly that the Ghost Emperor was temporarily under the care of Master Ye Xiaotian, and Ye Wangxing would also carry out his mission as normal.
"...The assignments will remain unchanged, so please rest assured."
Vice President Ding knows what the workers care about most. If you add more tasks to them, they won't want to care even if the sky falls.
However, Vice President Ding was comforting the Heavenly Master and obviously forgot about ordinary people.
Even if they verbally promised Master Ye Tian that he would not allow the Ghost Emperor to harm people, how could they really believe it?
The evil spirit around Zhou Tianning proves this point.
When they thought of the killing power of the Ghost Emperor and the degree of torture caused by the evil ghosts around Zhou Tianning, they became even more afraid.
It was just an ordinary evil spirit, and it could kill people silently. Wouldn't it be easy for it to torture their association?
Xiao Wu even started swearing frequently while holding his phone.
Her expression was quite ferocious.
"Doesn't the association really care about our safety? They even brought this guy back just now. He only pays me 4,000 a month. Why would I risk my life against them?"
As Xiao Wu spoke, he became more and more excited.
The colleague next to her was in a similar situation. She looked at the messages in the group and felt that the religious association was really planning to use them as cannon fodder this time.
They even implicated Master Ye Xiaotian. Knowing that Master Ye Xiaotian was very popular in their association, they planned to use him as a shield, right?
And even if they were notified that Ye Xiaotianshi was guarding them, what would be the point? Could it be that a Ghost Emperor was really willing to let a Heavenly Master guard him? It was because they couldn't control this Ghost Emperor that they were being used as cannon fodder.
"I have no objection."
Xiao Wu and his colleagues sat in the conference room in amazement, staring at the red-robed Ghost Emperor floating above the podium.
The words just came out of his mouth.
"Could it be that this person is really willing to do this? What exactly does he want? Besides, there's nothing that can restrict him? Or has the association finally developed a powerful transparent magic weapon without us knowing?"
Xiao Wu leaned over to his colleague's ear and whispered softly.
They had just been called to the auditorium by Vice President Ding for a meeting, and then witnessed the entire process of their religious association and the Ghost King reaching a cooperation.
At first glance, it seems that he is very friendly to both sides, but in fact he is biased towards humans. After all, once the Ghost Emperor comes to the human world, his abilities will be restrained, and he cannot fight back unless the other party attacks him.
This is also the reason why Xiao Wu wondered what the Ghost Emperor was up to.
While they were whispering with the people around them, the next segment began on stage.
This time it was Master Xiao Ye's turn to speak. The people present stopped talking to give Master Xiao Ye face. Those who were playing with their phones put their phones back in their pockets and looked up at Master Ye Xiao Ye.
Xiao Wu and the others felt the same, but Xiao Wu always felt that Master Ye Xiaotian's aura was sharper today, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
But what he said made Xiao Wu open his mouth wide.
"Xie Yu, I will be your primary responsible person. I will be responsible for monitoring your actions, and I will also protect you. This plan is not a restriction on you, but a protection for both of us."
Master Ye Xiaotian said this seriously, and his next sentence suddenly became more powerful, and even his voice became much more severe.
"—But if you take the initiative to do anything that is detrimental to humanity or harms others, I will use the oath of solidarity to perish with you!"
Xiao Wu looked at Master Ye Xiaotian on the stage with his full aura, and was shocked. He silently turned his gaze to Zhou Tianning in front of him.
This contrast is a bit too tragic.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned his gaze back to the stage.
——Then she saw that the Ghost Emperor blushed after hearing what Master Ye Xiaotian said.
It doesn't look like Hong Wen, but more like...
Before Xiao Wu could find the right adjective, he saw Master Ye Xiaotian on the stage shouting weakly.
"—No, why are you blushing? I'm threatening you!"
