The first thing Mu Huan did upon returning was return to Wangchuan. This place, which she once hated the most, now became her biggest concern. Perhaps this was the only place that was purest, because the bad guys here were clearly bad!
She used to spend her days salvaging the souls of evil spirits. She remembered how, in the beginning, she was bitten by hundreds of ghosts and nearly lost her life in the River of Oblivion. But gradually, Mu Huan discovered that she really liked this place, and she also fell in love with the smell of slaughter and blood.
Mu Huan sat down and put his feet into the Forgotten River. The bell tied to his ankle rang "ding ding ding", which was particularly crisp. In this lonely and deserted Forgotten River, it seemed particularly eerie.
Mu Huan closed her eyes, enjoying the rare silence. All the wounds on her body were healing at an astonishing speed, but her red skirt was stained with blood, which slowly flowed into the Forgotten River drop by drop.
By the time the last drop of blood successfully gathered in the Wangchuan River, Mu Huan's injuries were completely healed, and his strength was even stronger than before.
She slowly stood up and looked at the highest point of the ghost world, where there was a magnificent golden hall. In the hall lived the person closest to her now, her father.
"Father, I'm back, it's time for you to rest."
Walking towards the main hall, the only sound in the air was the ringing of bells, "Ding~Ding~" echoing endlessly.
——
In the main hall, the Ghost King sat slumped on the steps, muttering to himself, "Amu, Huan'er has grown up! She's as beautiful as you, and just as extreme as you!"
"I don't know if I was wrong or not. Was it a wrong decision to force her into the Wangchuan River? But I really have no other choice. Otherwise, Huan'er will die!"
"Amu, I may have to come and accompany you soon. Huan'er has grown up, and it's time for me to let her make her own decisions."
"Marrying a nine-tailed fox wasn't my original intention. I just wanted... to help Huan'er grow up as quickly as possible!"
Finally, after muttering everything, the Ghost King's eyes closed forever. His end had long been approaching, but he had chosen to linger on, wanting to see Mu Huan grow up, until he could no longer bear the position of Ghost King.
As the future king of the ghost clan, you absolutely cannot have any personal feelings!
When Mu Huan arrived at the main hall, she could no longer sense the Ghost King's presence. She only saw his soul slowly fading away, completely vanishing before her eyes.
Mu Huan couldn't describe her feeling. She only knew that the moment she saw the Ghost King disappear, she felt no emotion at all, even though this person was her father.
The Ghost King's goal was achieved; Mu Huan truly became an emotionless heir. Slowly walking over, Mu Huan took the scepter the Ghost King had left behind before returning to Chaos. This scepter symbolized the Ghost Clan's supreme leadership.
In the end, the Ghost King left a strong support for his daughter!
"How could you be so calculating? You even planned your own death." Looking at the scepter, Mu Huan understood. She understood everything. From her birth, from beginning to end, it was all a scheme set by this man who claimed to be her father, a scheme designed to cultivate the most perfect heir!
"Father? Ha!" What is this? A joke?
Perhaps it was due to some kind of induction, but the ghosts wailed, and the road to the afterlife would be blocked for three days! This caused chaos and disorder among all races.
Mu Huan sat on a chair surrounded by a thick cloud of ghostly energy, her expression somewhat bewildered. How could everything suddenly become chaotic? She and he hadn't even started fighting yet, had they? Why had he left this scepter to her...
"Meet the Ghost Lord!"
Mu Huan didn't like being called the same name as her father, so the ghosts below spontaneously changed their name to this.
"What's the matter?" Mu Huan rubbed her head. She was really tired!
"Your Majesty the Ghost Lord, the Human Emperor Long He is here to visit!"
Mu Huan opened his eyes, "Human? What are you doing in my ghost tribe?"
"Reporting to the Ghost Lord, it seems that they want to form an alliance." The news that the human race has united with the demon race to declare war on the gods has spread to all the races, but the ghost race has been busy recuperating during this period, so they didn't pay attention to it.
"Alliance?" Mu Huan rubbed his fingers, his tone nonchalant, "Let him come in first. I want to see what he can come up with to make me agree to form an alliance with him."
What courage! Mu Huan had to admit that he admired her. After all, they both had the same target they wanted to retaliate against. However, whether the purpose was pure or not was another matter.
"Attention!" The little ghost retreated, and a moment later, Long He came in. He was wearing a yellow robe with a five-clawed golden dragon, his hair tied up, and a serious and solemn face.
"I've heard that the new Ghost King is even better than his predecessor. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved!" Everyone likes to hear nice words, especially a young girl like this. With a little coaxing, she will take the bait.
It must be said that Long He's understanding of women is quite good, but Mu Huan is not an ordinary woman. How can someone who is so cruel as to attack her own father be deceived by a few sweet words?
"Everyone in the various tribes knows that my father and I have always been at odds. Now when you say that the disciple is better than the master, are you referring to me or my father?" Mu Huan stood up, walked down the steps of the palace, and came in front of Long He.
It seems that he has the potential to accomplish great things, but in the end he is still too eager for quick success.
"Haha!" Long He laughed heartily, pretending he didn't understand what Mu Huan said. "Master Ghost King is indeed a sharp-tongued man!"
Mu Huan sneered, "Let's be frank. Just tell me what brought you here today. There's no need to beat around the bush and praise me or my father."
"To be honest, Long He came here today to discuss something."
After a pause, Long He continued, "I hope the Ghost King can form an alliance with me to fight against the God Clan together."
Mu Huan didn't say anything after hearing this. Alliance! Suddenly, he remembered that little girl who was as beautiful as pearls and jade. It seemed that their tribe was ambushed by the demons!
"Haven't you already formed an alliance? Why are you coming to my Ghost Clan today? Could it be that Lord Long He has no confidence in his own strength?"
Long He was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Mu Huan to answer him like that. But he was a seasoned shrew after all. "Never fight a battle you're not sure of. You always have to leave yourself a way out. After all, if our three tribes form an alliance, I'm sure we'll win in the end."
"But how can you guarantee that if we win this battle, you won't abandon us?" For someone as ambitious as Long He, one really couldn't trust him at all. Otherwise, if he wasn't careful, the consequences wouldn't just be one person's, but the entire clan's!
"Don't worry about this Ghost King. I, Long He, am very trustworthy." Why is he so stubborn? Long He's patience is beginning to wear thin. He's just a newly appointed Ghost King. If all else fails, he can discuss it with the Ghost Clan elders. There will always be someone willing to form an alliance.
