Chapter 34
"Master Benben, please tell us how they met."
"Yes, yes, Master Benben, please tell us..."
In the middle of the street, Ma Guiben sat with his legs crossed, surrounded by a group of ghosts. He gently waved his folding fan, causing his silver hair to dance. He slowly answered the ghosts' questions: "I heard that they met in an accident. What do you think was the accident?"
A male ghost raised his hand and said, "My guess is, they were originally rivals, but were attracted to each other during the battle, fell deeply in love, and finally made a vow to be with you for the rest of their lives!"
A female ghost said, "Oh, you are so corny. Let me guess. It must have been on a small street. You glanced at her accidentally, and your heart became restless, so..." When she said this, the female ghost covered her face and laughed shyly.
The ghosts all exclaimed, "Huh?" Another male ghost came out and said, "That's even more disgusting! It's impossible! My guess is, one of them must have pursued her for years, and was finally moved, so..." The male ghost patted his chest, closed his eyes in ecstasy, and breathed a sigh of relief, "And so this joyous event, known to all ghosts, came about."
The ghosts exclaimed, "Wow!" and kept shouting, "That makes sense!"
At this time, Gi and his friends had squeezed into the front of the ghost group. They had heard most of what the ghosts had said just now, but they were also sure of one thing: there was no wedding here.
Gi is the tallest among the ghosts, and he is wearing high heels, which makes him extremely conspicuous. Many ghosts can't help but glance at him.
"Oh, it turns out Benben is telling a story here." Gi looked at Luozhi beside him, "What story is it telling? Why is it so grand?"
Luo Zhi didn't like this kind of situation where people were pushing and shoving each other. He said coldly, "Pull it out."
Gi raised his eyebrows and was about to break through the ghost group to pull out Ma Guibenben when he heard a male ghost say:
"So, Master Benben, when will this ghost young master get married?"
Gi froze in place, his eyes wide as copper bells.
Luo Zhi's face looked as if struck by lightning, and was black and smoking.
Luo Yu: "what?"
Wang Sanpao cleaned his ears and was a little unhappy after making sure that he didn't find any earwax.
"Yes, yes, Master Benben, when is the wedding date? Then we should go to the ghost town together!"
"Everyone is waiting to drink at the wedding!"
"Master Benben, please tell us the news..."
There were more and more voices, all of which were related to the ghost young master getting married.
Ma Guibenben said with a smile: "It's hard to say. After all, our Ghost Master's wife has a special status. He is a man!"
The ghosts exclaimed, "Male!"
"Then who will marry whom?"
"Nonsense! It must be the young master who will marry her!"
"Oh, maybe the young master is marrying into the family!"
Benben folded his fan and clapped it, saying, "Well said! Then let's discuss whether Young Master Ghost married into the family or married that man in a formal ceremony..."
The words stopped abruptly, and Benben opened his eyes wide and looked to the left in front of him. He rubbed his eyes, patted his face, and finally stood up from the chair, pointing at Luo Zhi and shouting:
"Master!"
All the ghosts looked in the direction he pointed, and for a moment, millions of eyeballs surrounded Luo Zhi.
The reason why they surrounded Luo Zhi alone was that the three people traveling with him were also staring at him, and it was impossible to tell that they were in the same group.
The shyly smiling female ghost squeezed next to Luo Zhi, looked at him and said, "Master, I heard that you are getting married. Has the date been set? When can we drink the wedding wine? Oh." She pointed at Luo Yu, "The person next to you must be..." When she said this, she smiled shyly again.
Luo Yu lowered his head embarrassedly.
The reason why the female ghost thought Luo Yu was the partner was because Luo Zhi's hand was around Luo Yu's waist the whole time. Although there was no contact, she knew from that that it meant that he should not get close.
Quite domineering, the female ghost thought.
At this time, all the ghosts also reacted, and all kinds of sounds were everywhere like exploding porridge.
"Master, next Monday is a good day. I've checked the almanac. It's a good day for marriage. What do you think?"
"Master, don't listen to him. I've calculated that tomorrow is a good day. You can get married in Chicheng tomorrow! We'll prepare the wedding room tonight!"
"Young Master, why don't you all come get married right now? My tavern just happened to get a large shipment of good wine yesterday. Let's get everyone drunk today! And then we can have some fun in the bridal chamber!"
"Hahahahahaha... you think your life is too long..."
Luo Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Yu's hair whorls. It was really unbelievable that this would happen today. He felt that even if he was a fortune teller, he could never have predicted that this day would come.
At this moment, a flash of red suddenly appeared in his eyes. He looked closely and his breathing suddenly stopped.
I don’t know which ghost it was, but he put a red veil with the word "囍" embroidered on it on Luo Yu’s head.
Luo Zhi's throat felt a little tight, but he didn't take it off. Luo Yu also didn't show any resistance, as if they both agreed to this bizarre wedding.
They just stood there facing each other in silence, no longer able to hear the shouting of the ghosts.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Zhi took Luo Yu's hand, rushed out of the group of ghosts, and ran towards the back city gate.
Seeing Luo Zhi leaving, Gi quickly pulled Wang Sanpao to follow.
On the other side, Benben had no intention of continuing the story with these ghosts. After all, the protagonist of the story had appeared, so he just followed them happily.
Along the way, many ghosts came forward to ask questions, all of them asking about the wedding day, when they could drink the wedding wine in the ghost house, etc. Luo Zhi responded with a cold face one by one, and Luo Yu's red veil was blown away by the wind while running.
Gi shouted excitedly from behind, "Master, can I interview you for a few minutes? How did you manage to get to Chicheng and yet everyone in the city is talking about your marriage?"
"Also, when did you get engaged? Why did everyone in the city know about it, but I didn't?"
"Did I show up too late?"
Wang Sanpao on the side said: "No, I came out very early, I don't know about this either."
They suddenly stopped and looked at each other, wondering: Who spread this?
Although he was confused, Gi was glad on the other hand that this happened. The guy who spread the rumor was really a big help. They were having a little quarrel right now. If these two guys got married at this time, hehe, it would promote their relationship, wipe out the past, and make peace.
Gi thought so, and felt that he was really damn smart! It was worthy of being a first-grade spiritual weapon that the Ghost King spent 6,000 years to forge!
By now they had gradually separated from the ghost group. Luo Yu looked at him and said a little embarrassedly, "This should be caused by the joke I had with the tea stall owner on Xiangxu Street the other day."
Luo Zhi hummed, he guessed it too.
Luo Yu said: "It's my fault. I made everyone misunderstand."
Luo Zhi said, "It's okay."
They had already turned to a slow walk, and Luo Yu said, "Luo Zhi."
Luo Zhi: “Yeah.”
Luo Yu said awkwardly, "Are you... a good ghost?"
He was wavering about his decision at the moment.
"No." Luo Zhi paused slightly, "But I will never hurt you."
Following closely behind, Gi Wang Sanpao came up and happened to hear these words. They both had an expression of being embarrassed. Gi smoothed out the non-existent goose bumps and grinned.
Luo Yu stared at Luo Zhi's profile as he walked and said, "Then could you please stop killing innocent people?"
The tone of his voice when he said this sounded like a plea. Luo Zhi felt that if he said no, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
Luo Zhi said, "Okay."
"Ahem." Gi interrupted at the perfect time, "So, Master, are we going to stay in the city tonight?"
Before Luo Zhi could answer, Luo Yu spoke first, regaining his usual playful demeanor: "Is there anything delicious in this city?"
Benben also caught up at this time. He knew the answer to this question and rushed to say, "Yes, yes, yes! There are many! If I'm not mistaken." He closed the folding fan in his hand and looked at Luo Yu: "You are the one for the young master, right?"
Luo Yu pretended to be stupid: "Which one is that?"
Benben clicked his tongue, thinking that this guy was really interesting. He was pretending to be stupid in front of him. He looked at Luo Yu with admiration.
"Do you have enough accommodation here?" Luo Zhi said to Benben.
Benben smiled, revealing his two fangs. Combined with his silver hair, he looked both sunny and sinister. He said, "I've been living here for almost a month, and almost every household has reserved a room for me."
Wang Sanpao asked curiously, "Why?"
Benben scratched his hair and smiled triumphantly. Just when he was about to say "too charming", a voice rang out.
"I see!" Luo Yu clapped his hands and said, "Because you can tell stories, every household has reserved a room for you, waiting for you to tell their children bedtime stories, right?"
Benben: “…”
Gi was combing its hair when he realized what was going on. He said with a look of regret, "Oh, so you were sent to be a babysitter. Benben, you're one of the Twelve Spirit Beasts after all. How did you end up being a babysitter for those little ghosts? Hahahaha... No, no, I have to remember this and tell the Ghost King about it later."
Benben's heart was seriously hurt. He looked at the people in front of him with a sad face. Finally, he took out a small mirror and looked at his face. The face in the mirror was still so handsome and cool.
Five minutes later, he nodded, and after confirming that he was still perfect, he silently labeled these three people as having "eye problems".
Luo Zhi, who was standing by, watched Ben Ben's actions, shook his head, and said to him, "Stop taking pictures. It won't get any better no matter how many times you take them."
Benben silently put down the small mirror, his heart slowly breaking.
Seeing that he looked more normal, Luo Zhi asked, "When did you hear about my...marriage? Also, besides Chicheng, has it spread to other places?"
Benben said dejectedly, "We found out five days ago. I'm sure it's spread all over the underworld." He then wondered, "You don't know anything? Who's so bold as to spread rumors about you like this? Are you trying to save your life?"
Luo Yu whispered, "I."
“…………”
Benben opened his fan to cover half of his face, looked at them hesitantly and said, "Is this... your little hobby?"
Luo Yu glanced at Luo Zhi and said nothing.
Luo Zhi thought it would be better not to continue this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Take us to your place. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
Benben put down his folding fan and said, "I almost forgot. I haven't asked you why you came to Chicheng yet."
Luo Zhi said, "We are going to the Starving Ghost Territory and are just passing through here."
"Starving Ghost Territory?!" Benben's reaction was the same as all the other ghosts. He was shocked when he heard about this place. "Why would I go to a place where no one even shits? To look for relatives?"
Luo Zhi didn't want to explain too much: "It has nothing to do with you, lead the way."
Ben Ben led them to the nearest residence and on the way he couldn't help but continue asking, "Are you really going to look for relatives?"
It was quiet.
Benben walked over to Luoyu and asked, "Looking for your deceased relatives?"
Luo Yugang saw that Luo Zhi did not answer this question, and guessed that he did not want him to know. Although he did not know the reason, since Luo Zhi did it, he had to do the same. So he said in what he thought was a very vague way: "Yes, I have to send him home."
"Reincarnation?" Benben said.
Luo Yu was stunned and thought to himself, was what he said so obvious?
Seeing his expression, Benben knew that he was right. He stopped asking questions and instead looked at Luo Zhi several times from time to time. His eyes seemed to show that he was quite puzzled by his behavior.
When they reached the door of Maiba Building, Benben shouted inside, "Chi'er!"
"Here!" Chi'er, who was peeing, quickly took the urine back, pulled up the leashes, and rushed out without stopping.
Benben pointed at Luo Zhiluo and said, "Arrange a luxury room." He then pointed at Wang Sanpao and said, "These two are fine."
Gi was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by casual? I am a first-grade spiritual weapon that the Ghost King spent 6,000 years to forge. Believe it or not, I will cry to the Ghost King and complain that you abused me."
Wang Sanpao was also dissatisfied: "That's right! After all, we are following the young master, how can we be so casual?"
Benben had no sense of crisis. He put one hand in his pocket and opened his folding fan with the other hand, and said to Chi'er, "Did you clean the toilet today?"
Chi Er bowed his head and said, "I washed it, I used Mr. Yong Meng toilet cleaner. It's really clean, and it smells so damn good! It smells like gardenia!"
Ben Ben nodded, patted Chi Er's cheek with the corner of his fan, and said, "Then arrange for those two to live in the toilet."
Chi'er: "Yes!"
