She was initially annoyed when she heard the word "female ghost," but after he added the word "cute," she decided to let it go. However, some things still needed to be clarified, so she feigned displeasure and asked, "When you first came to Black Wind Mountain, did you intend to kill me?"
"You died three hundred years ago, how could I possibly kill you?"
"You... let me rephrase my question: were you sent here to catch ghosts?"
“That’s right.” He didn’t try to bluff his way out, but readily admitted, “I was indeed sent by the Grandmaster to Black Wind Mountain to capture the female ghost who was causing trouble.” He smiled again, “If I had known earlier that she was such a lovely female ghost, I would have volunteered to go much earlier.”
Feng Guang couldn't smile. She raised her hand and gently touched the half of his face covered by a human skin mask. "These injuries... are they also my... I'm sorry, Mo Qing, I didn't know..."
“This has nothing to do with the scenery.” He took her hand and said softly, “There are indeed formations on Black Wind Mountain, but I can sense that such high-level formations don’t seem to be used by demons or monsters. Rather, they seem to be…”
"What?"
For example, the Ten Directions Beacon Fire Formation used in Taoism is used to prevent people inside from leaving, and also to prevent people outside from entering.
He had some guesses, but wasn't sure, so he smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing, these are not things you should worry about."
"Then tell me, what should I be worried about?" She frowned at him, clearly dissatisfied with his attitude of always trying to hide everything from her.
He said good-naturedly, "Fengguang, you can think about our marriage."
She was stunned. To be honest, after learning that she was a ghost, she never dared to hope that she could marry him. Although sometimes identity is not an insurmountable obstacle, her identity was already beyond what ordinary people could accept. Not to mention, she would unconsciously absorb the life force of the surrounding land and living people.
"Mo Qing... I think we should call off our marriage..."
"Why give up?" he asked her softly. "Could it be that Feng Guang has someone else she likes?"
"No... I only love you!" She bit her lip. "It's just that if you're with me... I'll kill you..."
"Does Fengguang know what I was thinking when I first arrived at Black Wind Mountain and saw that bustling city before me?"
What are you thinking about?
“You are truly an incredible ghost.” He curled his finger and gently stroked the tip of her nose. “I have never seen a ghost with such amazing abilities. What’s even more amazing is that these ghosts have different appearances, different personalities, and different fates. So I thought, maybe before I go after that evil female ghost, I can study her properly first.”
She snorted, "Research what?"
"Even in this glorious world, there is birth, aging, sickness, and death, and people are divided into the rich and the poor. I will treat the sick poor and rescue those who have been wronged by the government and driven to desperation. Gradually, more and more people came together, and thus, Black Wind Stronghold was born."
"so what?"
“In the world created by Fengguang, it has its own set of rules for development.” He chuckled. “This is not an ordinary illusion; for Fengguang, these are all real.”
“These… are all things I created because I was too lonely…” Feng Guang asked him again, “You knew I was a ghost from the beginning. I’m curious, don’t you feel awkward around me?”
