"Give me the money."
Faced with the almost fawning smile on the male ghost's face, Sheng Ning reached out her hand directly to him.
The male ghost's smile froze upon hearing this.
He looked down at the small hand in front of him, which was originally white but had been turned blue by his light, and asked in a daze, "What?"
"Cooperation requires sincerity, right? Show me your sincerity, otherwise there's no point in talking."
The cave remains unfathomably deep.
Every word Sheng Ning spoke echoed.
In addition, the cave seemed to lead to the outside world, with a constant whooshing sound of wind, creating eerie noises that sent chills down one's spine.
After hearing what Sheng Ning said, the male ghost's already terrifying face became even more grotesque.
He gave a soft hum, hovered in front of her for a moment, then looked down at her, "Kid, I only sought to cooperate with you because I saw you were born a bad seed."
"Do you even know who I am? How dare you ask me to show my sincerity?"
As the male ghost spoke these words, a ghostly blue light flickered around him.
It seems like they're trying to scare people.
Unfortunately, Sheng Ning is no longer the same Sheng Ning as before.
Now she is Sheng Ning in the next moment!
She glanced up at the enraged male ghost before her, then looked away and continued summoning the Netherworld Fire as she moved forward.
"If you're broke, you're broke. But to describe poverty in such a refined and elegant way, you're the first person I've ever seen do it."
"What kind of cooperation is this if you don't have money? And what about your identity? You're laughing all the way to the bank. You've been dead for years. Everything has changed. Who would remember a ghost like you?"
"Alright, if you don't know what happened to my senior brother, just say so. I won't blame you. Why force yourself to save face?"
Sheng Ning was about to leave.
The male ghost, who had been here for thousands of years, instantly contorted his features into a ferocious expression. "Wait a minute!"
"Five million high-grade spirit stones, no credit allowed."
Sheng Ning, who had already reached the corner, suddenly turned around and looked at the male ghost.
Five million...
It's still a high-grade spirit stone...
Even though the male ghost had already died once, he almost died again after hearing this number.
He pinched his philtrum desperately, rolled his eyes, and took a deep breath. It took him a long time to return to normal.
"Take the young master?"
Five million? And you're asking for high-grade spirit stones?
"You wouldn't be worth this price even if you sold me."
Sheng Ning looked him up and down, said "Oh," and then turned around again, "So poor and you still dare to come out looking for business partners?"
"Are they really treating us young people like fools and exploiting us?"
Her words once again reached the male ghost's ears.
The male ghost, upon hearing this, began to doubt his existence as a ghost.
Sheng Ning had already turned the corner and disappeared from his sight.
Upon seeing this, the male ghost immediately floated up and followed in her footsteps.
"Young friend, greed knows no bounds. One should never be all talk and no action. Besides, what use would you have for five million high-grade spirit stones?"
"Take my advice: so many high-grade spirit stones are useless. Young people should focus on training themselves; experience is more important than spirit stones."
It tastes so familiar.
Sheng Ning sniffed and spoke into the dark cave ahead, "Whose flatbread is baked? It smells pretty good."
"Besides, what use do I have for so many spirit stones? Is it any of your business? Can't I just throw them away for fun?"
The male ghost following behind stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
His eyes widened in disbelief; if just a second ago he had looked like a ghost...
In that instant, he was like a demon who had just crawled out of the eighteenth level of hell.
"Since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Just as the male ghost finished speaking, Sheng Ning suddenly turned around and their eyes met. "You want to kill me?"
The male ghost, who was about to strangle the person, had his scheme exposed.
The latter showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He revealed his demonic appearance, exuding an aura of dominance, and said, "So what if you're unwilling to cooperate with me? I'll kill you!"
"So, are you currently harboring a lot of resentment?"
The moment Sheng Ning uttered the question, the male ghost froze.
"Heavy." The male ghost, who had spoken subconsciously, realized what he had said, and his already ferocious ghost face became even more grotesque.
"I'm relieved if it's heavy." As Sheng Ning spoke, a colorful tiger plush toy appeared in her hand without her noticing.
"Gousheng, wake up! Time for a snack! It's time to repay your owner!"
Gou Sheng woke up immediately.
Upon seeing the male ghost before him, whose entire body was wreathed in eerie blue flames, his face lit up instantly. "A ghost! A ready-made ghost!"
"Hehehehehe, little devil, don't be afraid. After I devour you and merge with you, you will be the hero!"
"Master, we are one step closer to helping Gousheng conquer the continent!"
Gou Sheng's cackling laughter echoed through the cave.
Sheng Ning patted its head, and finally sighed, "This child is hopeless."
On the other hand, the male ghost was genuinely startled when he saw Gou Sheng. "Evil spirit? You're a heretic? That's wonderful!"
good?
What's good?
Sheng Ning looked at his constantly changing facial expressions and whispered, "What's so good about it? Could it be that you're a heretical cultivator?"
If the person in front of me is truly a heretical cultivator...
Sheng Ning squinted at him, her mind racing with calculations.
Just as she was about to trick the male ghost into finding the so-called "Four Treasures of the Study" first, Gou Sheng suddenly exclaimed "Eh!"
"This ghost is different from any ghost I've ever seen before."
Who are you?
Gou Sheng suddenly became serious, which Sheng Ning found a little unusual.
She had planned to ask this question later after she received the Four Treasures of the Study, but now that Gousheng has asked, it doesn't make much difference.
Then she and Gou Sheng heard the male ghost put his hands on his hips and announce his name.
"I am Ye Si, and outsiders call me the Evil Emperor."
Upon hearing the person before him call himself the Evil Emperor, Sheng Ning's first thought wasn't fear or running away, but rather...
"I am the Evil Emperor Ye Si. I am not actually dead. As long as you send me money, I will appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Army?"
This joke seems familiar.
Unlike Sheng Ning's reaction, Gou Sheng, who was lying in her palm, was completely stunned.
The eyes on the rag doll tiger, sewn with beads, stared straight at the male ghost.
After a while, another, even more mournful wail rang out in the cave, where the mountain wind was already howling.
"Owner!!!"
"Dog-Sheng has been searching for you so long, Master!"
"Master, how have you been these past years? Have you suffered?"
The rag doll tiger jumped out of Sheng Ning's palm and onto the male ghost.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Ning saw a fawning expression on Gou Sheng's face.
Seeing Gou Sheng rubbing against the male ghost's chin, Sheng Ning's eye twitched violently.
None of my family members understand.
She thought she had encountered a male ghost who was trying to scam her out of money and labor.
It turned out that the other party was indeed the Emperor of Evil Cultivation, a figure commonly known as the Evil Emperor.
Why did the Evil Emperor die in this remote mountain valley?
If she hadn't come today, who would have discovered this dilapidated place?!
