Chapter 1013: Harsh Words
Ji Wenyi straightened the cuffs of his gorgeous purple robe, glanced across the round table at Ye Xiaoman's back as she sat in Zhu Chuideng's arms, and smiled politely.
"The ghost world is a remote and impoverished place. The ghost master has mobilized millions of ghosts to build the underworld. It must have cost a lot."
When Ye Xiaoman heard Ji Wenyi's personal attacks on Zhu Chuideng, she couldn't help but speak up for Zhu Chuideng.
"Ji Wenyi, don't keep saying others are poor just because you have a few bucks. The Ghost Domain is a region that specializes in exporting rare resources. Even your God Domain purchases supplies from it every year. Its financial resources are quite strong!"
"Huh?" Sikong Qing rolled her eyes. "You're already hurt just because we said something to him?"
He clutched the red-clothed man's sleeve sourly and said, "No matter how wealthy he is, you've been relying on him for so long, can he give you some money? Are you still reluctant to come down?"
Sikong Qing has been talking non-stop from the beginning until now. Ye Xiaoman has been quite obsessed with him recently and has become much more tolerant of him, so he tried to make peace with her.
"Uncle Deng has come all the way to see me, it's not easy. Please don't pick on him."
As soon as Ye Xiaoman finished speaking, Jiaying had something to say. He had temporarily formed an alliance with Sikong Qing, and the two of them were now speaking in unison.
"We're not targeting him. Zhu Chuideng could have avoided the arduous journey and could have walked slowly for two or three months, but he chose to waste so much money on the journey."
Jiaying sighed virtuously, "He's burning your money, which means he's burning the family's money. He's such a spendthrift."
Ye Xiaoman was depressed: "Jiaying, you can talk, but why do you keep covering your nose?"
Jiaying was like a flower from the high mountains, untainted by dust. Her delicate brows were knitted together, her breath was as fragrant as orchids, and she replied softly, "Such a strong old man's smell, it makes me sick."
Jiaying's acting was so real that Ye Xiaoman couldn't help but smell Zhu Chuideng, but she didn't smell anything. Zhu Chuideng smelled very nice.
Zhu Chuideng: "..."
Sikong Qing crossed his legs and laughed even more viciously. He was handsome and his smile was even more radiant, but the words he said were very bullying.
"Jiaying, please let Zhu Blow the Lamp. It's not easy for an old man. For us young people, two or three months is just a small gap in life, but for an old man, it might be his long-cherished wish before his death."
"Zhu Chuideng looks like he won't live many years."
Sikong Qing and Jiaying, the two sharp-tongued men, sang the same tune in criticizing Zhu Chuideng, while none of the other men stood up to speak for Zhu Chuideng. Ji Wenyi drank tea leisurely, Ji Weiming smiled while holding his whisk, and Xiao Chujing raised his eyebrows.
Jing Zhui believed what others said and asked in surprise, "Zhu Chuideng, is your time coming to an end?"
The cultivation that Yue Mushan borrowed from his future self gradually dissipated, and he turned into a young boy again.
He counted on his fingers: "So how old is the Ghost Master this year? Over two thousand or over three thousand?"
Ji Wenyi put down the cup and shook his head: "The Ghost Lord has white hair and flabby skin. I can't bear to settle the score."
Yue Mushan covered his tail with his hands and let out a cute cry of surprise.
"Come to think of it, I'm only in my early twenties. As for whether some of my brothers have already reached their thirties after nine years of wasting time, I don't know. I'm not saying they're all that old... Anyway, none of us are even a fraction of the Ghost Lord's age."
Yue Mushan's cute and youthful appearance caused all men to despise her.
Jing Zhui was also unhappy listening to this. He was about a thousand years younger than Zhu Chuideng and was the second oldest person present.
He took out a silk handkerchief and lovingly wiped his magic sword, then said in a gorgeous voice:
"Yue Mushan, I don't quite understand why you're showing off your bone age. You're young, your body hasn't fully grown, and that part also looks smaller than everyone else's. How dare you show off your strength?"
After hearing this, all the men looked at Yue Mushan with meaningful smiles, and Sikong Qing had already burst into laughter.
Yue Mushan's delicate little face turned pale. Jing Zhuitian's silly description of the facts could easily make him angry to death. He was stunned and immediately looked at Ye Xiaoman, but Ye Xiaoman did not speak for him.
My sister didn't even speak up for him!
She even nodded.
What on earth is my sister agreeing with!
Yue Mushan firmly believed that Ye Xiaoman was just being polite and accustomed to agreeing with other people's opinions.
Sikong Qing began to clap the beat and sing, "Oh, little kitty, such a little kitty."
Yue Mushan was so angry that his whole body was shaking, tears were accumulating in his beautiful eyes, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
Zhu Chuideng had been besieged by men for so long that he felt it necessary to restore his image in front of Ye Xiaoman.
He explained: "For Gui, age is frozen at the moment of death. When I died, I was only in my early twenties..."
"You look a little over 20," Ji Weiming couldn't help but say, "You seem a little mature."
Zhu Chuideng: "...After arriving in the ghost world, as my cultivation level increased, my appearance became more mature."
Xiao Chujing stared at Ye Xiaoman. He waited for a long time. The little junior sister was still sitting on Zhu Chuideng's knees and shaking her legs. His legs were also long, enough for the little junior sister to sit and shake her legs.
Xiao Chujing stabbed Zhu Chuideng with a knife in displeasure, "The Ghost Lord's appearance could actually be a little more mature. With his looks, he could get some old-age support from the Immortal Sect."
Zhu Chuideng fell silent. The more he talked back to Ye Xiaoman and her group of men, the more bad words they would attract. He really wanted to take Ye Xiaoman home to farm.
