Chapter 48: Lonely Tomb
******
A solitary lamp in a thatched cottage in the rainy night.
'Knock knock~' Someone knocks on the door.
The door opened.
The girl holding an umbrella entered the hut.
"Welcome!" A headless male ghost said to the girl, "How can I be of service to you, sir? Please tell me."
The girl replied, "A pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a story."
"Alright~" The headless male ghost quickly brought the wine and peanuts. "What story would you like to hear, sir?"
"The immortal world, the demon world, and the ghost world all want to listen. Just tell me anything." The girl said to the headless male ghost, and then placed a black stone that exuded pure ghost energy on the table.
The headless male ghost immediately became excited, "How about telling the story after the Three Realms War?"
"Okay." The girl poured a glass of wine.
There was another knock on the door.
The headless male ghost walked to the door and said to the people outside: "Sorry, we are full today and will not accept any more guests."
The dark shadow knocking on the door gradually disappeared in the night rain.
This kind of thatched hut is called a solitary tomb.
A ghost shopkeeper who only entertains one guest at a time.
If the guest is a living soul, they must enter the house with an umbrella, regardless of whether it is a rainy night or a clear night. If the guest is a dead soul, they must first put on the guest shoes at the door.
The girl raised her umbrella and hung it on the hook hanging from the thatched roof, revealing her beautiful face and pretty eyes full of smiles.
The headless male ghost exclaimed in admiration, "Sir, you are truly a peerless beauty."
"Thank you, I am the ugliest child in our family." Wen Zhaozhao said with a smile.
"The guest's family must be of prominent noble descent." The headless male ghost changed into a storyteller's robe, and also had a desk, a fan, and a wake-up stick.
"Pa——" After a startling sound, the headless male ghost began to speak.
"Ever since the great war between immortals and demons a hundred years ago, the Three Realms have been severely damaged. The immortal realm lost two immortal emperors, the demon realm lost two demon lords, and the ghost realm suffered the greatest losses, with all four ghost kings killed. Some say that the immortals and demons conspired to plot against the ghost realm..."
Wen Zhaozhao didn't drink or eat peanuts, just listened to the story.
He listened until dawn broke, and then the headless male ghost closed the desk and said, "Sir, we are closed for today."
"You spoke very well. I will come to visit the store again if I have the chance." Wen Zhaozhao put down another Ming Stone.
The headless male ghost took down the umbrella that Wen Zhaozhao was holding. "Thank you for your generosity, sir. Take care."
Wen Zhaozhao left the lonely tomb.
The headless male ghost stood inside the door to see them off, and soon disappeared along with the hut.
This kind of lonely tomb is only open at night and has no direction.
I'm here tonight and somewhere else tomorrow night. Let's meet as fate dictates.
Wen Zhaozhao put away her umbrella, looked at the morning light in the sky, and stretched.
After listening to stories all night, Wen Zhaozhao had a general understanding of the situation in the three realms. If she asked her seventeenth brother, he might not know the situation of the various realms he ruled.
Fang Xingli's strongest talent was the Dark Principle, so the Ghost Realm was undoubtedly more suitable for him. However, he also possessed a Fire Principle, so he could also cultivate in the Immortal Realm.
As for the little mushroom...it should have gone to the demon world.
The story of the headless male ghost actually talks about a newly rising demon king, whose real name is unknown, and he calls himself the Great Demon Overlord.
No one except the little mushroom would come up with such a strange name.
There is also a sect in the fairy world that has become extremely powerful after the war - the Tianlan Sect, and its leader is named Nalan Pingren.
Formerly known as the Tianlan Sect, it was later renamed the Tianlan Sect. In recent years, it has recruited a group of cultivators who have recently ascended to the immortal realm, all of whom are extremely talented and capable.
The ghost world declined after the war, and there has been no news of any powerful ghost cultivators until now. The four continents that originally belonged to the ghost world were divided up by the demon world and the fairy world, two each.
Wen Zhaozhao intuitively felt that Fang Xingxi must have gone to the ghost world.
Wen Zhaozhao was currently feeling conflicted about this rumored partner and didn't really want to see him. Otherwise, Brother Seventeen and the others would definitely misunderstand her again.
So, she went to look for little mushrooms.
And it’s very easy to find, the name is so unique!
Demon world, the palace of the great demon king.
Gu Lian came out of the magic spring pool naked and lay on the magic crystal stone bed. Several succubi around him gave him a massage, which was extremely enjoyable.
Wen Zhaozhao teleported over directly, holding an umbrella in his hand. He came in front of Gu Lian and asked with his head down, "It's quite comfortable!"
"Yeah, comfortable~" Gu Lian replied with a hum.
But, the next moment, he jumped up and looked at Wen Zhaozhao as if he had seen a ghost, "You, you, you!" Before he could finish his words, he hurriedly covered his lower body!
Wen Zhaozhao threw the towel on him and said to the male succubi around him, "Go down first."
The succubus looked at Gu Lian.
Gu Lian waved his hands hurriedly, "Get lost, you guys are not even on guard, don't come here anymore."
Several succubi immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
They were lowly demons bought by Gu Lian with magic crystals to serve him. If Gu Lian didn't want them, they would have to return to the demon slave market and become demon slaves again. But Gu Lian, their master, was very kind to them. In addition to taking care of their daily life, he also allowed them eight hours of practice time every day. He was an absolutely rare and good master!
Wen Zhaozhao said, "There's no need to serve here for the time being. Go do what you need to do."
"Yes, yes, yes." Several succubi ran away.
Gu Lian took this opportunity to change his clothes. He was wearing a casual robe and his long hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing his handsome face that had lost its childishness.
Wen Zhaozhao looked at him and said, "Honestly, if you had a sign, you would definitely be the top star!"
"..." Gu Lian was speechless, "I'm the top pick!"
"Hehe~" Wen Zhaozhao took out a beach chair from the small storage bag, "This is more suitable than your magic crystal bed. Besides, wealth should not be exposed. Be careful not to steal such a large magic crystal."
"I stole this from another demon king."
“…”
Gu Lian sat cross-legged on the magic crystal bed, his face suddenly darkening, "Where did you go? Why didn't you take me with you?"
They began to raise an army to hold the culprit accountable.
Wen Zhaozhao said: "I'm home."
"...Oh." She went home without him, so it would be fine. "Then how long will you be gone? Can you at least tell me?"
"It's hard to say. The timeline is different, and I've only been away from Blue Star for a few days."
"Yeah. The time here is indeed different from that of Blue Sea Star. It seems to be one to three. One day here is three days on Blue Sea Star." Gu Lian replied.
"There's something strange about Blue Star's timing." Wen Zhaozhao didn't understand it for the time being, so she stopped talking. "Did your brother Qin Tang ascend as well?"
"He's in the Immortal Realm." Gu Lian replied, "Harry is in the Demon Realm. Do you want to meet him?"
As he spoke, he took out a sound transmission note.
Wen Zhaozhao nodded, "Okay, let's go to his place for dinner."
Gu Lian immediately sent a message to Harry: [I'm coming to find you, where are you now?]
Harry quickly responded: "Phantom Fairy Tower in the fairy world, come over."
