Ye Sisi and the others immediately went on high alert. Something was definitely wrong. Even if they didn't sense any malice from the other party, they were still ghosts, and two powerful ones at that.
Lin Shuangluo stepped forward, sword in hand, and asked solemnly, "Who are you?"
If you look closely, you'll notice he's incredibly excited; his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes are brimming with fighting spirit, and even his voice carries a hint of excitement.
Ye Sisi and her friends, along with the Ghost King on the other side, were all speechless. How much did this guy want to fight?
It was the female ghost king between the two ghost kings who spoke first: "Young friends, please don't get excited. We're not here to fight."
Ye Sisi peeked out from behind Lin Shuangluo, blinked and smiled, "You two aren't here to fight, are you here to give gifts? Surely you're not here to claim kinship."
The female ghost king choked for a moment, then smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "Would you believe me if I said we're here to reunite with our relatives?"
Now it was Ye Sisi's turn to be speechless. She had just said it casually, and somehow she guessed it right.
She had previously seen the two ghost kings with such excitement in their eyes, as if they were seeing their own sons, and thought she was seeing things. But now she realized that she was too conservative and lacked imagination. The world is indeed full of wonders, and they were able to encounter such outrageous things.
Bai Luochen burst out laughing and looked at the two somewhat abnormal ghost kings, saying, "Gentlemen, we shouldn't be considered the same species now, right? You should go find other ghosts to recognize your relatives. We still need to find the Soul Beast Tower."
Perhaps the two ghost kings had lost their excitement, or perhaps they were angered by Bai Luochen's words. In any case, their originally blood-red eyes slowly turned into clear black and white, and their skin changed from its previous bluish-gray to a slightly paler color than normal. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have shadows, they would look almost exactly like real people at first glance.
The male ghost king, who had been silent until now, coughed lightly. To be honest, if you looked closely, he was quite handsome, and he even had a rare refined and elegant air about him.
"Please forgive us, young friends. My wife and I are being presumptuous. Let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Changsheng, and this is my wife, Zheng Xiangyi. We are also Xiaobao's parents."
Ye Sisi and the others exchanged bewildered glances. These two, or rather, these two ghosts, must be suffering from some serious illness? They'd never heard of any Xiao Bao before, so why were they wasting so much time talking to them?
Seeing the blank looks on Ye Sisi and the others' faces, the female ghost king quickly said, "Xiao Bao is Yao Yan, who is also your martial aunt."
As she spoke, she took out a brightly burning soul lamp, whose aura was indeed alluring.
Ye Sisi and the others' faces changed from bewilderment to shock. What? Their cheap little junior uncle has a pair of ghost king parents and a nickname called Xiao Bao?
Ye Sisi knew that Yaoyan had a story. Not only did she have no karma, but she was also simple-minded and eccentric, which made her seem out of place in the big melting pot of the cultivation world.
But since Yaoyan didn't say anything, they didn't ask. After all, everyone has secrets, but they were still a little uncomfortable, since she had kept so many secrets from him.
But they never expected that the alluring woman was actually connected to the Forbidden Land of the Underworld, and it seemed that the connection was quite deep.
Judging from the appearance of these two ghost kings, they were clearly aware of the existence of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
"Everyone, don't just stand there. Now that you're here, make yourselves at home. Since you're all Xiaobao's junior disciples, you're family. Don't be shy."
Zheng Xiangyi's enthusiasm brought Ye Sisi and the others back to their senses. This bombshell was so big that it left them momentarily stunned.
Ye Shubai quickly said, "Seniors, we came here to search for the Soul Beast Tower, which has already taken up a lot of time. We will definitely come to apologize next time we have time."
The others nodded repeatedly. Although they believed it to some extent, they still felt something was off and decided it was more important to get on with their own business first.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangyi immediately smiled, and with her slender, fair palm open, a beautiful nine-story pagoda appeared in her hand.
The small pagoda is as clear as jade, and its body is engraved with various exquisite runes, giving people a sense of sacredness and inviolability from afar.
Ye Sisi was dumbfounded. She asked incredulously, "Senior... this isn't the Soul Beast Tower, is it?"
Zheng Xiangyi nodded with a smile: "So children, there's no need to rush at all. You can go in whenever you want and stay in for as long as you want."
Ye Sisi really didn't expect things to develop to this point. Now that things have come to this, what reason could they possibly have to refuse?
Xia Changsheng then spoke up, "You must have many questions, and Xiaobao also has many things he can't say to you, so he came back before his breakthrough. Let's go to the cave and sit down."
Ye Sisi looked at Lin Shuangluo, and the others also looked at Lin Shuangluo, since he was the one leading the team this time, so they listened to him.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shuangluo said, "Then I'll have to trouble you two seniors."
Xia Changsheng waved his hand, and a cloud of black mist appeared in front of him. The black mist slowly condensed into a pitch-black gate. He turned around, smiled, and gestured, "Please come in, children."
Ye Sisi and the others smiled and then followed Zheng Xiangyi through the door in front of them.
Xia Changsheng was the last to step through the gate. Before entering, he glanced at the spot where Ye Sisi and the others had been standing, smiled slightly, and then disappeared completely.
The two ghost kings' caves were much more luxurious and grand than Ye Sisi and the others had imagined. They had thought they would be the kind of gloomy and terrifying caves, after all, they were ghosts.
But the cave was not dark at all; even though it was dark outside, the cave was still as bright as day.
Moreover, the entire cave dwelling was very elegant. The walls were covered with many landscape paintings, as well as a number of antique books. If Ye Sisi didn't know that the two were ghost kings, she would have thought that this was the cave dwelling of a highly respected teacher.
Zheng Xiangyi busied herself brewing tea for them and brought out a lot of delicious snacks from the kitchen. The key point was that both the spiritual tea and the spiritual fruit snacks were incredibly rich in spiritual energy. Even without tasting them, one could tell that they were definitely high-quality items.
Seeing this, Lin Shuangluo and the others became less wary. Ye Sisi smiled and asked Xia Changsheng, who was sitting opposite her, "Senior, can you tell us about Junior Uncle? He's usually so irresponsible, and he always acts nonchalant no matter what you ask him."
Xia Changsheng smiled and glanced at Ye Sisi, then said, "Of course, no problem. I know you are curious about his experiences and our origins, but it's a long story, so let's talk about it while we eat."
Ye Sisi nodded, took a piece of pastry and ate it. Xia Changsheng then continued, "Your junior uncle told us that he said the Heavenly Spirit Sect is very good and you all trust him. However, he has kept many things from you and feels guilty about it. But don't blame him. There are some things he doesn't want to tell you, but he can't."
