Chapter 102 Your Highness, you are so cruel.
Yun Tianjiao lunged into Zhiwei's arms. Hearing Zhiwei address him as Your Highness, he was momentarily stunned until he saw his human arm resting on Zhiwei's shoulder.
"I... I've turned back?!" Yun Tianjiao felt like he was dreaming. Hearing that the meows he was making were no longer coming out of his mouth, he almost burst into tears.
"Your Highness used your divine essence to dispel the demonic resentment, so I divided my divine essence, forcibly transforming a portion into ghost essence, freeing it from the influence of the sacrificial power and preserving Your Highness's soul. However, Your Highness's soul is too weak, so it can only be nurtured in the body of a nearby black cat. In the end, whether Your Highness's soul is assimilated by the black cat, or whether the black cat's body is used by Your Highness, depends on Your Highness's belief and determination to become human again."
Zhiwei maintained her embrace of Yun Tianjiao, whispering an explanation in her ear, with no intention of letting go.
"Yu Meng," standing beside the two, coughed lightly.
Yun Tianjiao then remembered that there were other people in the hall. He gently pushed Zhiwei away and turned his gaze to Yumeng.
And under her gaze, the goddess Yu Meng transformed into a fair-skinned, tall young man.
"Lord Xiao?"
This person was none other than Xiao Yan, the judge of the ghost realm and also the goddess Meng Po.
"Your Highness, how have you been?"
Xiao Yan's face still held that same tired-of-work expression. After he returned to his original form, he shook his sleeves, cleared his throat, and tried his best to make his presence felt, as if reminding the Ghost King: he had finished his work and it was time to let him go.
Yun Tianjiao looked at Xiao Yan, then at Zhiwei, and asked, "So you had Lord Xiao impersonate Yu Meng and stage a dramatic reunion with you just to provoke me?"
Generally speaking, when Yun Tianjiao refers to himself as "this person" in front of Zhiwei, it is a dangerous signal.
"Your Majesty, I have official business to attend to, so I will take my leave now." After saying this, Xiao Yan did not wait for Zhiwei's response and slipped away as fast as he could.
Zhiwei recalled her pretentious performance with Xiao Yan and felt embarrassed and guilty, and dared not look Yun Tianjiao in the eye.
Yun Tianjiao narrowed his phoenix eyes and approached step by step, his aura menacing.
Zhiwei lowered her head and followed him step by step, appearing as if she were at his mercy.
Yun Tianjiao had every reason to suspect that he was deliberately seducing him.
"His Highness's temperament is becoming more and more like that of a cat. I have been watching this with great concern, which is why I had no choice but to take this action..."
Before she could utter the last word, "strategy," Yun Tianjiao kissed her. Their lips met, warm and soft. This was the longing she had cherished for so long, and now her wish had finally come true.
"Is that so? I think you're only seeking revenge because I've forgotten you for several lifetimes, wanting me to taste what it's like to be forgotten by a lover." Yun Tianjiao cupped Zhiwei's face in his hands, kissing him until he was slightly breathless, their noses lingering on each other, but his words were anything but polite.
Zhiwei's eyes gradually darkened. She changed her initial passive attitude and bit Yun Tianjiao's lips hard before turning over and pinning him to the table.
"Since Your Highness already knows, why do you still ask? When you jumped into that lake of blood, did you think of me? Did you think about what I would do?"
He seemed to grow angrier and more aggrieved as he spoke, and he ravaged her soft, rosy lips with even greater ferocity. He reached out to untie the belt of her dress, and kissed and bit her fair neck, leaving his marks.
"Do you know how I protected you? Do you know that if any step had gone wrong, we would never have seen each other again? Your Highness, how cruel you are."
Since transforming into human form, Yun Tianjiao has been able to clearly sense the warm and powerful force in her abdomen, which is even more pronounced than when she was in her black cat form. Remembering Zhiwei's earlier statement that he had forcibly separated a portion of her divine essence and transformed it into ghost essence, a thought suddenly struck her, and she reached out to probe Zhiwei's lower abdomen.
When she was a mortal, she couldn't feel the power of the Ghost Core, but now that she has become a ghost spirit and possesses Ghost Essence, she can naturally sense that Zhiwei is not right. At this moment, his dantian is completely empty!
"Zhiwei, where is your Ghost Pill?" she suddenly demanded sharply.
Zhiwei remained silent, only looking at her with red eyes.
What's there to not understand?
Yun Tianjiao raised her hand to stroke his face, laughing through her tears, "How could you be so foolish? I'm so heartless, yet you still can't let me go. What do I have that makes you so naive?"
Zhiwei reached out and pressed down on her hand that was sliding towards his lower abdomen, pulling it even lower. He leaned down and bit her earlobe in a fit of pique, saying stubbornly, "But I just think you deserve it, only you deserve it."
The writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk were swept to the ground, creating a chaotic battlefield.
In the end, neither of them spoke, but expressed their intense possessiveness through their bodies. Exhausted, they fell asleep in each other's arms, and upon waking, they began to demand more from each other again, as if trying to make up for the past year or so.
During this time, not a single palace servant came to disturb them; everyone seemed to have tacitly forgotten their duty of serving the Ghost King.
...
A few days later, another scandalous rumor began to circulate in the streets and alleys of the Ghost Realm. It was said that the black cat, the spirit pet of the Ghost King, suddenly transformed into a human form and grew into an extremely beautiful and enchanting woman. The Ghost King was so infatuated with her that he spent every day in bed with her and even neglected court assemblies.
If this happened in the mortal realm, the demoness would likely be accused of ruining the country, and court officials would be urging the emperor to stop indulging in lust. But in the underworld, most of the ghosts looked relieved upon hearing the news.
Our eternally lonely Ghost King has finally blossomed and tasted the sweetness of life! Thank goodness, otherwise, with his vigorous and energetic constitution, if he had been constantly thinking about the lover he had been searching for for so many years, his physical needs would have been unfulfilled, and he would have become a pervert.
Indulging a little is good, indulging a little is good! Who told our Emperor to be born a lustful demon, with extraordinary talent in that area! With a little more effort, let's try to indulge one, two, three, four, five, or six demon princesses and demon princes!
It's been a long time since we in the Ghost Realm have had any great joyous occasions!
General You Wei grew to admire his wife even more.
"How does Madam know that the black cat is Princess Yunchi of Yunchi Kingdom? And how does she know that His Majesty's amnesia is feigned? You didn't even go to see His Majesty!"
Xi Yue was imitating a woman from the mortal world, mending General You Wei's clothes with needle and thread. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but smile. "General, I'm afraid you're just worried. Don't you think that if His Majesty really lost his memory and found himself seriously injured, how could he be so at ease to recuperate? With His Majesty's temperament, I'm afraid the first thing he would do is to find out the whole story, find out the reason for his serious injury, and regain his lost memories."
"What you say makes sense, Madam! It has to be you, Madam. My brain is always so slow." As a wife-obsessed general, General You Wei never hesitated to praise Xi Yue. At this moment, his eyes were filled with stars as he looked at his wife.
"However, His Majesty was able to preserve the Princess's soul even after she decided to sacrifice to the Divine Essence. I wonder what method he used." General You Wei was completely puzzled.
Xi Yue looked at You Wei meaningfully: "Husband, have you forgotten? When we were up there, we once read about a method in an ancient book to transform divine essence into ghost essence?"
You Wei was taken aback. He hadn't heard his wife mention "the upper realm" for many years. Now, looking back, their life together in the Heavenly Realm seemed like a distant memory.
"You mean... Your Majesty..."
Xi Yue nodded, finished sewing the last stitch, cut the thread, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes, "I hope nothing too serious happens recently, otherwise, given His Majesty's current condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect the Ghost Realm."
...
Zhiwei received a memorial from Xiao Yan. The memorial was wrapped in an envelope with eight characters written on it: "Read it or not, you'll bear the consequences."
Yun Tianjiao also felt that Zhiwei had been acting recklessly for several days, neglecting state affairs, which was really going too far.
"Lord Xiao wouldn't send someone to the inner palace without a reason. Let's open it and take a look first."
Zhiwei naturally obeyed Yun Tianjiao's words, opened the memorial, read its contents, and her expression suddenly became serious.
"What's wrong?" Yun Tianjiao asked.
Zhiwei looked at her and said something chilling: "The Yunchi Kingdom is about to collapse, and Yun Tianqi is going to die."
Yun Tianjiao was stunned for a moment.
She had considered that Yun Tianqi was not a qualified monarch, and she had also thought that after her death, the Yun family's rule would probably become precarious. However, she never expected that the collapse of the empire would come so quickly.
She had thought that her death would extend the life of Yun Chi Kingdom for a few more years, but she was wrong.
"Your Highness, shall I intervene?" Zhiwei asked tentatively when she saw that she had not spoken for a long time.
Yun Tianjiao closed her eyes and could almost picture Yun Tianqi with a terrified face, clinging to her leg and crying out "Elder Sister" over and over, begging her to save him.
"Zhiwei, have you forgotten how Muge became a demon?" Yun Tianjiao suddenly opened his eyes, having made up his mind. "You said that without your Ghost King's blessing, Muge would not have become a demon so easily. This shows that it is risky for gods and ghosts to forcibly interfere in mortal affairs. The more important the figure is to the course of history, the greater the risk."
Mugo's grandmother once prayed to the Ghost King, wishing her grandson a long life and good fortune. Zhiwei meant well at the time, and considering her kindness and the fact that she and her grandson depended on each other for survival, she granted her such a blessing.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ge, who should have died a violent death in his youth, was transformed into a demon by the Ghost King's blessing of "a long life and good fortune." Although Zhiwei was not the direct cause of his transformation into a demon, she was an indirect facilitator.
"Yun Chi Kingdom has its own destiny, and Yun Tianqi has his own fate. He was unworthy to be a ruler, and his country was destroyed and he died. This is also cause and effect, and there is no need to interfere."
After saying that, Yun Tianjiao looked up at Zhiwei and smiled, "I have fulfilled my duties as the eldest princess of Yunchi Kingdom. The eldest princess Yun Tianjiao is dead. Now, the only person in the Three Realms who is worth my concern and remembrance is one person."
Zhiwei's peach blossom eyes were shimmering, as if bathed in spring breezes and sparkling with starlight. He leaned closer and kissed him gently again, with a hint of coquetry in his voice, "Your Highness is so unsettling to me, how can I possibly attend to state affairs? I might as well just become a complete tyrant..."
Looking at the beauty whose clothes were half off, whose black hair cascaded down, and whose eyes were full of affection, Yun Tianjiao thought to himself: Who has really disturbed whose mind?
This monster.
