Xu Jinhuan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "So you've only just remembered that I'm a ghost?"
The arrow is already on the string, and you're only now asking if it can be used? Too late, young man.
Xu Jinhuan picked up the small packet of poison right in front of Xie Guangbai and said to him, "Do you want to watch your enemy take the poison yourself?"
Xie Guangbai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. His eyes lit up with surprise, then turned slightly red. "Really? Can the young lady really let me see it with my own eyes?"
The surprised voice of System Xiao Wang suddenly rang in Xu Jinhuan's mind.
[Host, it's full, it's full!]
Xu Jinhuan asked himself, puzzled, "What's full? What are you talking about, Xiao Wang?"
"System Xiao Wang replied with a smile."
[Host, I meant Xie Guangbai's loyalty has reached 100. Just now, when you said you could let him witness it firsthand, it jumped from 80 to 100 in an instant.]
After saying that, System Xiao Wang said in a boastful tone.
[I have more good news to tell the host. Thanks to my tireless efforts, the main system has made a new update to the loyalty detection function.]
Now, as long as the loyalty level reaches 100 and remains so for more than 3 days, a low-level loyalty contract can be signed. This loyalty contract guarantees the signatory's loyalty to the host for one year.
If his loyalty remains largely unchanged after a year, he can still renew his contract. After five renewals, he can apply for a long-term contract.
While this loyalty isn't as powerful as the previous master-servant contract, it at least guarantees that the person won't betray the host in the short term.
After listening to the system's explanation, Xu Jinhuan nodded silently. This free upgrade feature was really great.
Although the function is not as strong as the master-servant contract obtained from previous tasks, and the conditions for signing are also very harsh, the contract is irresistible because it has no limit on the number of people, time, or number of times!
Xu Jinhuan was somewhat lost in thought as he listened to the system Xiao Wang explain the Loyalty Contract.
This left Xie Guangbai, who was inside the room, somewhat at a loss. Why was the ghost girl silent? Was it because he had said something wrong and she was unhappy?
To witness the emperor eat the poison he had made was Xie Guangbai's lifelong wish, and he feared that his words would shatter that dream.
"girl?"
Xie Guangbai called out cautiously, having already prepared his apology in his mind. He would apologize immediately if the ghost girl showed even the slightest dissatisfaction.
Xu Jinhuan had no idea what Xie Guangbai was thinking. She only came to her senses after hearing Xie Guangbai's voice.
Remembering that she hadn't answered Xie Guangbai's question yet, Xu Jinhuan waved her hand and used her invisibility ability on Xie Guangbai.
Xu Jinhuan's invisibility ability has some peculiarities. She can decide when objects will become visible, and she can also decide whether the person being invisible can see other invisible objects.
Therefore, even though Xie Guangbai is now invisible, he still cannot see Xu Jinhuan himself.
Xie Guangbai, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt a slight chill on his body. Before he could figure out where the chill came from, he heard the ghost girl's voice.
"Let's go, I'll take you to take revenge yourself. It's never as satisfying to have someone else do it for you as to deal with your enemy yourself."
Xie Guangbai looked into the void and asked in confusion, "Miss, am I just going to walk out like this?"
Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "I have already used an invisibility spell on you. From now on, no one else can see you."
Xie Guangbai was stunned upon hearing this. Invisibility magic? This ghost girl is so powerful. No wonder she said she could let him personally kill his enemies.
Wait, if it's an invisibility spell, then this person might not be the ghost girl...
Although his heart was in turmoil, Xie Guangbai remained outwardly calm. He bowed to the void.
"I am very grateful for your great kindness, young lady. No matter what your status is, you will always be my master from now on."
Xu Jinhuan nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, it's almost 3 AM now, no time for formalities. Let's get this over with quickly and head to the emperor's palace."
"Yes, I will obey your orders, Master," Xie Guangbai said respectfully.
After checking the palace map provided by the system Xiao Wang and confirming the location of the dog emperor, Xu Jinhuan grabbed Xie Guangbai by the back of the neck and used his lightness skill to fly up.
Xie Guangbai was quite startled by Xu Jinhuan's sudden move, and he asked in a trembling voice.
"Master, could you please give us a heads-up next time?"
Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Next time for sure, next time for sure."
Xie Guangbai quickly adapted to Xu Jinhuan's lightness skill. This was the first time he had looked down at the palace, which was buried with countless white bones, from an overhead perspective.
Many people have been blinded by power and desire, and ended up perishing here.
Xie Guangbai sighed softly. If the Xie family hadn't been destroyed, he would probably have been one of these people.
However, everything is different now.
After avenging the Xie family, he will carry on the family's medical traditions, fulfilling their hopes, and help more people in need.
And, to help the new master, the ghost girl, fulfill her ambitions.
This was Xie Guangbai's thought after he learned that the ghost girl was not a ghost.
After all, an ordinary person without ambition wouldn't break into the palace in the middle of the night to poach talent from the Imperial Hospital, would they?
Xu Jinhuan had no idea that a simple light-foot technique had made Xie Guangbai think so much. When she saw her destination, she stopped quietly.
Xie Guangbai only came to his senses at this moment, and when he looked up, he was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was the emperor's bedroom.
The two stopped right at the door, but none of the eunuchs and guards on night duty saw them.
Xie Guangbai walked blankly to a guard, and even deliberately waved his hand. After finding that the guard could not see, he turned around in surprise and smiled at the void.
Xu Jinhuan was helpless. She had praised Xie Guangbai for being smart before, but after getting to know him, she found him to be silly and foolish.
"Let's go, let's get down to business."
Xu Jinhuan grabbed Xie Guangbai by the collar and dragged him toward the palace.
Upon hearing this, Xie Guangbai's eyes also turned red, and he followed closely behind the invisible ghost girl.
Although the eunuchs and guards were stationed at the door, the windows inside the room were unattended. Xu Jinhuan found one that was open and led Xie Guangbai directly into the bedroom.
"Hmph h ...
All that could be heard from the emperor's bedchamber was his loud snoring, a sound as loud as a modern electric drill. It was a mystery how his favored concubines could stand it.
While inwardly cursing, Xu Jinhuan tugged at Xie Guangbai's sleeve, gesturing for him to go to the emperor's bedside.
At this moment, the emperor was fast asleep, and beside him was a young and beautiful concubine, who was not the Consort Gui or Consort Rou that Xu Jinhuan had seen before.
The emperor is indeed very lucky with women.
