Chapter 308
Lin Qingyang and Cheng Hui came to Bo
Beizhou City is not far from Beiliang City and is slightly smaller than Beiliang City, so it does not have a Baiyujing branch.
After Lin Qingyang and Cheng Hui arrived in Beizhou City, they found a restaurant, asked for a seat by the window, and ordered a table of food and wine.
"Waiter, is there anything new happening in the city recently? Tell me about it." Cheng Hui placed two spirit beads on the table with a smile.
One for the boss and one for the waiter as compensation for delaying their work.
When the waiter saw the spirit bead, he couldn't stop smiling. This spirit bead was three months' wages for him. Please make sure to have more such generous immortal masters.
He handed the boss the spirit pearl, and the boss, smiling broadly, indicated that he must serve the two immortal masters well. As for the boss himself, he had no intention of coming.
The Immortal Master had a bad temper, and there had been unlucky people in the past who had flattered the Master and ended up getting killed, so the boss had no intention of having any contact with these two.
The waiter came over and stood respectfully aside, introducing to Cheng Hui and the others some recent events in the city.
Under Cheng Hui's deliberate guidance, the waiter soon turned the topic to the marriage between the Ghost Lord and the Ou family.
After listening to the waiter's introduction, Cheng Hui feigned interest and asked, "From what you're saying, the Ou family originally wanted to marry the third daughter to the Ghost Lord, but somehow, they suddenly switched to the eldest daughter?"
"That's right..." Perhaps because Cheng Hui's attitude was very kind and he didn't have the condescending air of the previous cultivators, the second brother said a lot without realizing it.
"In other words, the Ou family was very willing to become relatives with the Ghost Lord from the beginning?" Lin Qingyang suddenly asked.
The waiter glanced at him, and that pretty face made him blush and his heart beat faster.
Ever since this immortal master came in, he attracted countless people's attention, but everyone just looked at him. Some people even didn't dare to look at him and turned their heads away.
The reason is very simple. The ordinary people here have witnessed the cruelty of the monks. However, most of the monks have their bodies cleansed by spiritual energy, so there are basically no ugly ones. I don’t know how many bloody examples have shown them the consequences of casually teasing beautiful people.
Nowadays everyone is smart, and when they meet such a particularly good-looking person, they are all gentlemen. They dare not even look at them for too long, for fear of accidentally offending the immortal master and dying without knowing how.
The waiter swallowed and looked away with difficulty.
Although this immortal master was very beautiful, he didn't dare to look at her for too long. He was still hoping to save money to get married!
The waiter didn't dare to refuse the Immortal Master's question. He thought for a moment and said, "It's not like the Ou family is willing. How can I put it...who would dare to refuse the person chosen by the Ghost Lord..."
"So the Ghost Lord forced her to marry him?" Lin Qingyang raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he didn't care, this reason was enough for Cheng Hui to take action.
The waiter showed an embarrassment. Lin Qingyang's heart moved and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one around can hear us talking."
Ah Hui had already set up a soundproofing array around the area when the waiter came over, so no one could hear anything outside.
Knowing that no one would hear what he said, the waiter immediately relaxed. He scratched his head and chuckled, "Actually, this Ghost Lord is quite a jerk. He's forced many girls from good families to marry him. But what can they do? Even the Ou family, a prestigious cultivation family, has to kowtow before the Ghost Lord. If the daughters of ordinary families don't want to burden their families, they have no choice but to marry. After all, they can get a share of the family's wealth after they marry."
"So... this is not the first or second time that the Ghost Lord has forced me to marry you?" Cheng Hui felt a surge of disgust towards the Ghost Lord.
"It's been many years, right?" The waiter tried to recall. "I remember when I was little, a young lady from the next village was married off. Her family celebrated with great fanfare, saying their daughter had finally found love. But then..."
"What was the result?"
"As a result, after a few years, we heard that the ghost master married another girl with great fanfare, while his girl was never seen alive or dead." The waiter shook his head, obviously disliking that family.
"That shows the Ghost Lord is not a good person." Cheng Hui decided to take action this time. Not only for the coordinates of the space rift, but also for those innocent women who died.
As a zombie, he has a lot to say about the existence of Yin energy. The ghost lord married so many women, obviously treating them as consumables.
This behavior is no different from that of a demon cultivator, except that the other party has the title of marriage, and the status of women in ancient times was relatively low, which is why he has been able to get away with it until now.
Cheng Hui felt that it would be better for such scum who treated people like ants to die as soon as possible. It was disgusting to breathe the same air with such people.
Xiao hesitated for a moment, and Cheng Hui noticed his expression: "What's wrong?"
The waiter gave a wry smile and said, "The Ghost Lord is indeed not a good person, but this time...it was actually the Ou family who took the initiative."
Lin Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth and put on a cold smile.
I didn't expect that I was really being used...
"What do you mean?" Cheng Hui wondered.
"This time, it was actually the Third Miss of the Ou family who took the initiative to seduce the Ghost Master. The Ghost Master then went to the Ou family to propose marriage, but later on, for some unknown reason, the target of the marriage suddenly changed to the eldest Miss."
"Is the eldest daughter of the Ou family very famous?" Lin Qingyang suddenly asked.
"Uh..." The waiter nodded quickly: "Yes, the eldest daughter of the Ou family is capable and knowledgeable. It is said that she is very favored by their Ou family ancestor and even has the opportunity to take over the position of head of the Ou family."
Lin Qingyang understood in his heart that Ou Lingruo's Xuanyin body could be called a pass to become a Nascent Soul cultivator. As long as she did not die midway, the Ou family would almost certainly become prosperous.
Unfortunately, Ou Lingruo's father is a playboy with high expectations but poor skills. He obviously has weak willpower and cannot endure much hardship, but he thinks that his achievements are limited because of his lack of talent.
In the past, there was a foundation-building cultivator who married his daughter to the Ghost Lord. From the Ghost Lord, he obtained enough materials for a person to break through to the Golden Core stage. His daughter also had a Xuanyin body, so wouldn't she be able to sell for a better price?
Did Ou Lingruo's father know that Ou Lingruo was the hope of the family? Of course he knew, he just didn't care.
What does the family’s hopes have to do with him?
He even always believed that it was because of Ou Lingruo's existence that the family reduced his share. If it weren't for this daughter, he might have been able to get more resources.
He had no idea that nearly half of the pills he had consumed over the years were Ou Lingruo's share. Otherwise, how could he, a waste with no talent, no comprehension, and even ridiculously poor willpower, possibly cultivate to the foundation-building stage?
In essence, Ou Lingruo's father is a selfish man who only cares about his own interests, so he can sell his daughter without any burden.
Because in his opinion, his daughter would be of no benefit to him in the family, but if she married the ghost lord, he would get a lot of wealth.
To be honest, Cheng Hui was shocked when he heard from Lin Qingyang that someone had even cheated his own daughter.
It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. How could this man do such a thing as to push his daughter into a fire pit?
Cheng Hui secretly clicked his tongue. After listening to the waiter's words, he had a clearer understanding of the matter.
Generally speaking, there are no major conflicts between the Ghost Lord and the major cultivation families in Beizhou City. When he chooses a wife, he will try to avoid the main branches of these families.
This time, it was really the third young lady who took the initiative to find the Ghost Lord. Speaking of which, the Ou family's education is really worrying. In addition to cultivating a selfish ghost like Ou Lingruo's father, it also cultivated a fool like the third young lady.
I don’t know who fooled her or if she was really stupid and hopeless, but she actually thought marrying the Ghost Lord was a good choice.
The Third Young Lady's talent is very average. If she relies on her own cultivation, it will be difficult for her to even break through the foundation-building stage.
Unfortunately, the Third Young Lady was too ambitious to admit that she was not talented enough. She tried many ways to change her talent, but to no avail. Finally, she turned her attention to the Ghost Lord.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Ghost Lord still has to maintain some dignity. Even though everyone knows that the female cultivator he married is just his cauldron, he does not want to be accused like that.
Therefore, some women did not die quietly, but instead became his concubines and took care of the affairs in his backyard.
There are rumors in the city that the Ghost Lord is actually a man with a strange mind, and the reason he has so many concubines is mainly because he has not found the one he loves the most.
When Cheng Hui first heard this rumor, he almost couldn't help spitting out his saliva.
No way, no way, there is no way that anyone would really believe in this kind of whitewashing operation?
Damn deep love...Scumbag like you, don’t insult the word love!
Cheng Hui thought it was ridiculous, but the third young lady believed it and even swore that she was the destined person of the Ghost Lord.
Cheng Hui: ...Love-brain is so scary.
In short, the Third Miss wanted to marry the Ghost Lord, and the Ghost Lord also wanted to marry a wife, so the two hit it off. Although the Ou family didn't want to have anything to do with the Ghost Lord and had no intention of selling their daughter, the Third Miss insisted on marrying. What could they do? They could only agree with a pinch of their nose.
Originally, the Third Miss agreed to her choice, but she didn't expect that Ou Lingruo's father, that fool, would take advantage of the opportunity of the Ghost Lord to propose marriage and sell his own daughter.
Between an ordinary girl of the direct lineage and a man with a mysterious Yin body, the Ghost Lord would definitely choose the latter.
The one in front is at most a reserve medicine residue, but the one in the back is his chance to break through to the God Transformation stage in the future!
Just like that, when the Ghost King proposed marriage, he temporarily changed the object. The Ou family felt like a bolt from the blue. They wanted to refuse, but facing the pressure from the Ghost Lord, they could only reluctantly give up the resistance.
Ou Lingruo was just sitting at home when disaster struck, and he was completely stunned.
The third young lady, who was happily preparing her wedding dress, was also confused.
Your own groom came to propose marriage, but the bride was replaced? This is something no one can tolerate.
The love-brained Third Miss obviously didn't think it was her ex-fiancé's fault, so she blamed Ou Lingruo and repeatedly made trouble for her, which made Ou Lingruo very annoyed.
However, it was precisely to avoid the harassment of the Third Miss that Ou Lingruo went out to relax. As a result, he accidentally got the news that someone in Baiyujing, Beiliang City, was offering a huge reward for the discovery of a space rift.
So, Ou Lingruo took a gamble. No one in the entire Beizhou City would confront the Ghost Lord for him. If she wanted to preserve her Taoist body, she could only seek external help.
