At that time, Liu Ran and Ming Ren were already waiting outside the hall.
Seeing them coming, Liu Ran stepped forward and asked, "When will the other guests arrive?"
Wen Qi didn't know either. She looked at the Emperor of Fengdu, but the latter shook his head and said, "If there is no one else, why should I invite anyone else?"
Wen Qi was shocked. "Are there only four of us at such a big party?"
Emperor Fengdu pursed his lips and said, "There is also a dog."
Wen Qi: …
Liu Ran and Ming Ren also looked at each other. Isn't this... a bit too wasteful? If it was just them, wouldn't it be fine to just prepare a table of food?
"I didn't expect that you value us so much." Wen Qi patted the shoulder of Emperor Fengdu, "Thank you! I'm very happy!" As she said that, she released Taotie. When this guy came out, he didn't even say hello, and ran straight to the back mountain at a very fast speed.
It was too late for Wen Qi to stop it.
Liu Ran and Ming Ren were still expressing their gratitude, "It is truly our honor to be treated so well by the Emperor of Fengdu."
The Fengdu Emperor, who was already a little unconfident, straightened his back quietly after hearing this and said calmly, "You are a guest from afar, as long as you like it. Please take your seat."
Entering the hall, seeing a large table of delicious food, Wen Qi and the other two could not help but be amazed. This is because souls do not have a sense of fullness, otherwise they would not be able to finish the food even if they were full to death.
Emperor Fengdu sat down in the main seat facing the palace door, and did not forget to greet him: "Wen Qi, sit next to me."
Wen Qi certainly would not refuse and sat on his right, while Mingren and Liu Ran sat on his left respectively.
As soon as he sat down, a burst of ethereal music sounded in the hall, and then a dozen female ghosts in gauze slowly descended from the air, circling and starting to dance.
Wen Qi couldn't help laughing. Why did he feel so extravagant for some reason?
The Emperor of Fengdu had been paying attention to her expression. Seeing this, he thought she must be satisfied. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Eat and watch."
Wen Qi nodded, picked up a soul fruit, and skillfully broke it open to eat only the flesh inside.
Mingren followed suit, breaking one open and placing it next to Liu Ran.
The Emperor of Fengdu paused when he saw this, then silently picked up another kind of five-pointed star-shaped fruit, opened it, took out the dark seeds inside, put them on Wen Qi's plate, and said in a low voice: "The seeds of the Xinglan fruit can enhance the five senses."
Wen Qi nodded and thanked him, then asked jokingly, "Are all the things on this table spiritual fruits and medicines that are beneficial to the soul?"
The Emperor of Fengdu nodded calmly, "Of course, the food I give you must be the best."
Wen Qi paused while eating, stared at him fiercely, and warned: "Don't you dare tease me in front of my husband's face again!"
The Emperor of Fengdu seemed to have discovered something and suddenly smiled at her, "He treats you as well as I do? He doesn't even have a soul fruit."
Wen Qi covered her pounding heart and emphasized, "My husband gave me a treasure trove of magical instruments!"
The Emperor of Fengdu nodded, "I understand. I will save them slowly, and I want the best."
Wen Qi lost, who the hell can stand this!
Mingren and Liu Ran looked at each other and smiled wickedly, "It's boring to just eat like this, why not play some games?"
Wen Qi needed to change the subject urgently, so he responded first: "Come on! What are you playing?"
Mingren said with reason: "This is the first time for the emperor to play, we can't bully him, let's just play the simplest one, how about truth or dare?"
Wen Qi glanced at Liu Ran and understood instantly. She nodded and said, "No problem!"
Mingren found a round fruit with a pointed tip on the table, tried to spin it, and said with satisfaction: "Use this. When the fruit stops, whoever the tip points to will accept the punishment. When you answer questions or complete the designated dare, you must tell the truth. You can't cheat or use soul power to control the fruit."
Wen Qi and Liu Ran both nodded and said it was no problem. The Emperor of Fengdu raised his hand and directly cast a barrier, saying in a calm voice: "You cannot use soul power within the barrier."
Wen Qi tried it and found that her soul power was indeed sealed. She gave a thumbs up and said, "Our emperor advocates openness, fairness and justice!"
In the first round, out of courtesy to the novice, the three unanimously agreed to let the Emperor of Fengdu turn first.
The Emperor of Fengdu did not refuse. He just pulled the fruit and it started to spin quickly, finally pointing at Liu Ran.
Wen Qi's eyes lit up, and he asked directly, "When did you start to have a crush on Mingren?"
Liu Ran was stunned and subconsciously looked at Mingren.
Mingren looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of laughter and a bit of uncontrollable curiosity.
Liu Ran felt a little uncomfortable. She turned her head and saw Wen Qi looking at her with a gossipy expression. She couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you so gossipy?"
Wen Qi urged, "Hurry up and tell me!"
Liu Ran was helpless, thought for a while and said: "I don't know myself. If I am completely sure, it was when I was forced into a ghost marriage, but I must have had a vague affection for her before, but I really don't know the exact time."
Wen Qi glanced at Mingren, who was smiling even more happily, and said generously: "You have passed. Come on, continue."
In the second round, it was Liu Ran's turn to answer the question. He turned the fruit and pointed it straight at Wen Qi. Liu Ran sighed and asked in front of the Emperor of Fengdu: "When was the last time you wanted to kiss him?"
The Emperor of Fengdu paused, then looked at Wen Qi with great interest.
Wen Qi blushed and glared at Liu Ran. How could she be so vengeful? She said awkwardly, "Just now."
Liu Ran and Ming Ren both said “tsk tsk tsk”.
Wen Qi coughed lightly, not daring to look at the Emperor of Fengdu, and raised her hand to spin the fruit. But she might be too nervous, the fruit only spun twice before stopping, just pointing at the Emperor of Fengdu.
Mingren's eyes lit up and he asked, "When was the last time you wanted to kiss Qi in person?"
The Emperor of Fengdu paused and said calmly, "I choose the big adventure."
Mingren clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Let's smell Qi for ourselves now!"
Wen Qi's face turned even redder, and he picked up the shell of the soul fruit on the table and threw it over, "Stop it!"
Emperor Fengdu pursed his lips and chose to answer the question, "In the afternoon."
Wen Qi looked at him in astonishment. Afternoon? Isn't that the time for hot spring bathing?! No wonder he refused to come down when asked to, and finally ran away!
Mingren and Liu Ran said "Wow" at the same time, and then Liu Ran asked: "Does this count as falling in love again? How romantic, traveling through time and space for thousands of years to meet again, I still fall in love with you."
Wen Qi and Emperor Fengdu looked at each other, and both of them looked away quickly as if they were scalded.
You know what, it really feels like the beginning of love.
Wen Qi sighed inwardly, Husband, oh husband, please don't be angry, no matter ten thousand years ago or ten thousand years later, I still love you!
As the game continued, Liu Ran was unlucky enough to be pointed out several times. The questions he had to answer became more and more difficult to answer, and in the end he was even forced to choose a big dare.
Wen Qi immediately pointed at Mingren and shouted, "Kiss him!"
Liu Ran was also a little excited, he slapped the table and stood up, "Kiss me!"
Mingren waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, that's not good, how about I take over this round..."
Before he could finish his words, Liu Ran grabbed him and kissed him on the face. Mingren froze instantly, his face visibly reddened, it was terrible! Seeing this, Liu Ran felt shy, but she forced herself not to turn around and run away. She stared at Wen Qi and gritted her teeth and said, "Continue!"
Wen Qi laughed loudly, "Whoever runs first is a grandson!"
The King of Fengdu looked helpless and could only continue to play along.
At the end of this game, all we can say is that there are no winners or losers. The specific situation depends on whose perspective you look at it from.
Anyway, after the dinner, Wen Qi didn't want to see any of them for the next three days.
But I can’t avoid seeing you.
The next day, the Emperor of Fengdu called three people and began to discuss the attack on the Western Ghost Emperor.
Everyone was a little uncomfortable at first, but once they started talking about business, those little emotions quickly dissipated.
Wen Qi asked, "How does Fengdu's military strength compare to that of the Western Ghost Emperor?"
Emperor Fengdu shook his head, "There is no comparison."
Wen Qi was shocked, "Then what are we discussing? Just send the army directly to the border!"
The Emperor of Fengdu looked at her calmly, "What I mean is that there are only ghosts in Fengdu, no ghost soldiers."
Wen Qi was confused.
Mingren and Liu Ran also looked incredulous, "Without any troops, how did you survive surrounded by the four Ghost Emperors?"
"Because of Fengdu Mountain." Fengdu Emperor said: "I was born in Fengdu Mountain and I am the mountain spirit of Fengdu. I can fight with the power of Fengdu Mountain. As long as I am in Fengdu, my power is almost infinite, and the Ghost Emperor is no match for me."
After a pause, he continued, "Plus, I only wanted to guard Fengdu Mountain and had no interest in other places, so the Four Ghost Emperors tacitly accepted my existence."
Wen Qi suddenly thought of a question, "What would you do if Fengdu Mountain was gone?"
The Emperor of Fengdu looked at her and was silent for two seconds before saying, "I will disappear too."
Wen Qi's face changed drastically. There will be no Fengdu Mountain in the future underworld...
Emperor Fengdu sighed, "I should have died once."
Wen Qi subconsciously clenched his fists and asked nervously: "Is it because of this war with the Western Ghost Emperor? Or is it because of the unification of the underworld in the future?"
The Emperor of Fengdu smiled and said soothingly, "Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter which time it is. You will be resurrected eventually."
How could it be irrelevant? Since he was the mountain spirit of Fengdu Mountain, Fengdu Mountain must be very important to him and have extraordinary significance.
Wen Qi wanted to say, why not just not go back, wouldn't it be nice if she just thought she had met him ten thousand years earlier? But looking at Mingren and Liu Ran, she couldn't really say it. Besides, she couldn't let it go either.
She is always concerned about everything in modern times.
The Emperor of Fengdu seemed to know her dilemma. He raised his hand and touched her head, comforting her: "Everything is destined in the dark. It is not something you and I can change easily. Just accept it calmly."
Wen Qi pursed her lips, leaned over to hug him, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry."
The Emperor of Fengdu's eyebrows softened and he said again, "It's okay."
