Xia Li quickly took out the Soul Keeper and released all the ghosts inside.
As a cold wind blew, the ghosts appeared one after another, and their long-imprisoned resentment was briefly released at this moment.
However, after the resentment dissipated, these ghosts regained some sanity and were eager to terminate their contract with Xia Li and regain their freedom.
As the ghosts left one after another, only one little girl stood firmly in her place.
She looks only in her teens, but is actually nine hundred years old.
There was a stubborn light in her big eyes, and she faced Xia Li and Song Jiao without fear.
"I won't leave!" the little girl said firmly, "I want to stay with my brother."
After saying that, she looked at Song Jiao provocatively, as if declaring war on her.
However, Song Jiao did not take her words seriously.
Before Xia Li could stop her, she slapped the little girl away.
"I didn't ask you!" Song Jiao said coldly, without even looking at the little Loli.
Next, Song Jiao turned to the other ghosts and announced domineeringly, "From today on, all ghosts within a hundred miles are under my protection. If you try to catch ghosts without my permission, I will destroy you."
As the ghosts left, the dormitory gradually returned to peace.
Soon, everyone else in the dormitory came back.
As soon as Li Zhao entered the room, he saw three ghosts in the dormitory. His pupils dilated slightly, and he was obviously frightened.
But he did not scream or run away. Instead, he silently returned to his bed and covered his eyes tightly with the quilt, as if this could help him escape reality.
At the same time, Shen Bai, who lived at the very end of the dormitory, looked at Xia Li.
There was a hint of barely perceptible hatred in his eyes.
Xia Li felt the unfriendly gaze, but when he looked back, he only saw Shen Bai's calm expression.
Song Jiao saw all this and frowned thoughtfully.
She remembered some of the plots about the male protagonist that she had read before, in which it was mentioned that the Shen family was one of the people who wanted to seize the Soul Master.
They have always claimed that Hongyi is the Ghost King they worship, but because of a trap set by Xia Li's grandmother, the Ghost King became Xia Li's granddaughter-in-law.
Having lost the protection of the Ghost King, the Shen family's situation became worse and worse, and they were burdened with karmic debts. In the end, only Shen Bai and his grandmother were left to depend on each other.
After some inquiries, they learned that Xia Li might come to this school, so Shen Bai also applied for this school.
Although Shen Bai also saw Song Jiao and the other two ghosts, he didn't know what was happening here, so he didn't act rashly.
He chose to wait and see, waiting for the opportunity to come.
As the dormitory returned to peace again, Song Jiao returned to the hammock without hesitation and continued her miserable life.
Xia Li fell into deep thought, and he began to doubt Shen Bai's true identity and purpose.
Xia Li walked out of the dormitory silently with Hongyi and the little loli, their steps were a little heavy.
After reaching a relatively secluded place, Xia Li took a deep breath and slowly asked, "Why haven't I seen the existence of this terrifying Ghost King in the Ghost Records?"
There was a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice.
You know, Hongyi's existence is already the top existence in the Ghost Record, but the Ghost King they are facing now is obviously more powerful than Hongyi.
After hearing Xia Li's question, Hong Yi glanced at him indifferently and said coldly, "You ask me? Who should I ask?"
After saying that, she turned into a red light and disappeared beside Xia Li, leaving Xia Li and the little Lolita looking at each other in bewilderment.
The little girl seemed very happy. She sat on Xia Li's shoulders and excitedly suggested, "Brother, how about you think of a way to seriously injure that female ghost? That way I can eat her directly. Eating her will also make Lili very powerful!"
However, the red-clothed woman's voice echoed in Xia Li's mind again: "Don't be foolish! I don't even dare to get close! Lixia, if you want to die, go ahead! Don't say I didn't help you then."
After hearing what Hong Yi said, the little girl just pouted and said with a look of disdain: "Humph, it's just living for ten thousand years, what's so great about that!"
Xia Li fell into deep thought. It was indeed difficult to deal with the Ghost King, but it was not completely impossible.
I just need to ask my grandmother at home to bring that thing to me.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I know how to handle this matter."
The air suddenly became quiet, as if even the air around it had frozen.
At the same time, Song Jiao stayed in the hammock for half a day, and when it was time for dinner, she felt a little hungry.
Just when she was about to see if there was anything that the ghost could eat, she suddenly found the aroma of rice wafting to her mouth and directly into her body.
She looked carefully and found that it was Chen Bai who was reciting some mantra to the takeaway in front of her.
After Song Jiao had eaten her fill, she drifted over and asked directly, "What do you want?"
She understood the principle of being grateful for what one has received and being grateful for what one has received, so she asked directly.
"Please follow me later."
Chen Bai finished speaking in a low voice, and then he silently ate the rice that had been offered before walking out and going to the rooftop.
Since Song Jiao didn't have to walk, she naturally floated up.
"Ghost King, I want to ask you to protect the Shen family. As long as you are willing to protect the Shen family, I can make sacrifices for you every year, even if it means asking me to make sacrifices." Shen Bai just walked to the door and made sure that there was no one around, then he knelt on the ground with a pleading look on his face.
He continued, "Hong Yi used to be the Ghost King who protected the Shen family. But ten years ago, the Ghost King was taken away by Xia Li's grandmother. After that, everyone in the Shen family died, leaving only my grandmother and I."
He knew very well that if he couldn't find the Ghost King to protect the Shen family, they might not survive this year's Ghost Festival.
Song Jiao glanced at Chen Bai indifferently, "That's it?"
She thought it was a very important matter. She had known about the existence of ghost cultivators in other Xuanmen worlds before, and she also knew that ghost cultivators needed to seek protection from the Ghost King, and they had to use the essence of living people to worship him every year, so that they could use the power of the Ghost King at the critical moment of life and death.
Chen Bai:???
What do you mean by that? Is this something that simple?
"Okay, I got it! Give me the location of your ancestral hall, and I'll go take a look later." Song Jiao yawned lazily without thinking, "That's right! Let me protect your family. Forget about the vitality of the living, and find me some good gay comics. It's just my little hobby!"
Shen Bai was a little confused, "What is gay comics?"
Song Jiao immediately started to explain with a smile, "Gay comics, BL comics, you can find the explanation on Baidu, the collector's edition is the best!"
