Chapter 342 The Ghost King's Troubles
Unaware that the ghost king had been frightened by his distraction, his mind was now filled with thoughts of the interdimensional merchant who had brought things from other worlds to his ghost realm.
Although he has recently been building Ghost King City on a grand scale, it's really all talk and no action.
It wasn't that he didn't want to build it, but rather that his subordinates lacked the capability, which really frustrated him.
Some time ago, he visited the neighboring ghost realm. In the past, the ghost realm and the ghost realm never had any contact.
However, the newly appointed Ghost King of the neighboring Ghost Realm, for reasons unknown, actually invited them to be his guests.
He happened to be bored and, since he had nothing to do in Ghost King City, he went out for a stroll.
Little did he know, his stroll would have been a relief, but instead, it made him incredibly envious.
He had always thought that all ghost realms were pretty much the same, since the ones he had visited before were no different from his.
Although he had never been to the neighboring house, which was so close, he figured it probably wasn't anything special.
Little did he know that this trip would be an eye-opener for him. Skyscrapers, suspended tracks in the air, and clean, flat ground—everything about them made him envious.
The Ghost King's Palace, in particular, is incredibly convenient. It even has a spirit inside—no, I should say a smart butler.
It couldn't be better! Having such a smart butler is like having a dozen subordinates.
But he also cares about his image, so even if he's envious, he won't show it on the spot.
It was after this trip that he became increasingly uneasy, which led him to decide to drastically renovate Ghost King City, aiming to create a new era of evil Ghost King City.
Little did he expect that all sorts of problems would arise as soon as construction began. Not to mention how to construct the high-rise buildings, he was completely clueless about even the smart home system.
So for the past few days, he has been unable to eat or drink, his mind filled with the prosperity of the ghost realm next door, but in the end, he was willing but unable to do so.
But at that moment, what did he hear? A dimensional merchant? And he brought things from another world with him?
Could this be considered divine intervention? Who knows, these people from another world might know things that he doesn't?
Thinking of this, the Ghost King became excited, as if he could immediately see his Ghost Realm becoming even more prosperous, and at that time, it would definitely be more prosperous than the Ghost Realm next door.
As long as those people can build his ghost realm as he envisions, he will do his best to get them whatever they want.
At this time, the Ghost King was unaware that his long-cherished dream of building a new Ghost King City for the new century had indeed come true.
But I also paid a heavy price. Although it hurt, it was a bittersweet experience.
Many years later, the ghost realm he led steadily surpassed the other ghost realms, firmly holding the number one position.
And that's not all; ghost cultivators from other ghost realms all want to come to him. This feeling of being the center of attention is simply too awesome.
It wasn't until then, when he became the best leader in the hearts of all the ghosts, that he couldn't help but feel grateful for what he had gained by gritting his teeth and emptying his pockets when he first met Boss Gu and the others.
It smells amazing! More than just smells, it smells incredible!!!
Of course, that's all in the future. At this moment, the Ghost King, thinking that these few living people might help him realize the Ghost King City of the new century, couldn't sit still.
He jumped up from the throne and walked out of the Ghost King's Palace in a large robe.
The kneeling ghost messengers inside the hall: "........."
What's going on? Why did the Ghost King just leave like that? Is he getting up now, or is he still kneeling?
Not only were the ghost messengers bewildered, but even the Ghost King's confidant was equally dumbfounded.
He genuinely felt that his Ghost King had been acting very strangely lately, and the root cause was that he had become like this ever since that trip to the neighboring Ghost Realm.
He was left behind by the Ghost King to assist the various halls in handling the affairs of the Ghost Realm, so he did not go to the neighboring Ghost Realm with the Ghost King.
So naturally, they had no idea what had happened to their Ghost King there.
Why is it that as soon as they come back, they're talking about building some new-century Ghost King City and developing a smart butler?
How could they possibly know how to make these things? This is really a nightmare! During this time, I haven't understood a thing or two from Lord Ghost King's descriptions.
However, he had some idea about the Ghost King's sudden departure. If nothing unexpected happened, he guessed that the Ghost King was going to the City of Rebirth.
Thinking of this, the confidant waved to the kneeling ghost guard below, signaling him that he could leave.
Then, he quickly rushed out of the Ghost King's Palace and chased after the direction in which his Ghost King had left.
Sure enough, they finally found the Ghost King at the teleportation array, only to find him looking distracted.
The confidant silently stood behind the Ghost King, saying nothing, and followed the Ghost King into the teleportation array.
Meanwhile, in the City Lord's Mansion of Wangsheng City, City Lord Yu was initially quite smug, as she knew all the spies in the city.
Those people should have received the news by now, and they'll probably be coming over to her place later.
However, his good mood instantly turned tense after being dampened by his trusted confidant Shi Mo.
Yes, she's been busy with matters concerning the City of Rebirth and the newborn souls these past few days, so she sent a team to Boss Gu's place.
If those shameless guys come and offer Mr. Gu and his group some tempting terms, will Mr. Gu and his group just go to another domain?
The thought of this instantly made her feel a sense of urgency. No, she needed to put aside what she was doing and go talk to Boss Gu and the others.
Without a guarantee, she always felt a little uneasy.
But just as he was about to leave, Shi Mo came to report that Qing Li and that junior from the Yan family had arrived together.
This surprised her. When did these two get involved together?
She knew about both of them, after all, Qingli was very talented, and she had tried to persuade him many times, but Qingli had not given her any definite answer.
She originally planned to go and talk to Qingli several more times before Qingli left the City of Rebirth.
But I've been so busy these past two days that I've had to put this matter aside.
And that girl from the Yan family, isn't her name Yan Xi? The reason I know her is because someone from the Yan family came over to say hello, so I have some impression of her.
Logically speaking, these two shouldn't have any connection, so how come they're traveling together now?
Most importantly, the two of them came to see her together. Although she felt a little suspicious, she still met with them.
She was genuinely curious as to why these two had come to see her and what their business was.
