Chapter 164 - 135: You I re really bad! But, I like it
“Indeed, they are fools!”
On the phoenix’s back, the lady of You Huang agreed. How could Feng Qing’an, whose will had already descended upon her, not feel it? Her mood at the moment was rather good.
“If the judge had just turned and returned to the human world, you would have lost interest in him, wouldn’t you?”
“Correct, eloquent words and bravery in the face of death mean nothing. Only consistency in words and actions qualifies one as a person of outstanding merit!”
You Huang nodded. In her eyes, fearlessness in the face of death was nothing. Even ordinary people could end their lives at any moment. What was truly worth praising was the courage to directly face things more terrifying than death.
Unknown, unsung, un-worshipped, unmissed. As a ghost-god formed by the devotion and offerings of incense, once he leaves his divine position, how long before the local people forget him?
At most three to five years. People are the most forgetful. Receiving nothing in return, who would waste incense on a ghost-god who won’t respond?
Guarding the rift of the underworld alone, one must face loneliness and being forgotten by the world, as well as the weakening that comes with every swing of the sword, irreversible and inevitable.
If this little ghost-god chose to return to the human world, she wouldn’t do anything and let him be. As for those who offended her, she didn’t care, nor would she waste time on it.
But when this ghost-god turned his back on the human world, facing the underworld, and swung his sword, she became truly interested. A commander able to lead troops in battle, with a will as firm as a rock, how could a ruler not be moved?
“So you’re now even more interested in him and must recruit him?” “Indeed!”
“But given his personality, I’m afraid he won’t submit at all!”
“No matter, he is simple in nature, and I have many methods to use him!”
“For example?”
Feng Qing’an asked with keen interest,
“I can order him to lead troops to defeat the Ghost King who devoured three hundred living souls in the human world. You think someone of his nature would refuse my order?”
“Definitely not.”
The young man resolutely agreed, but he furrowed his eyebrows and couldn’t help asking,
“Is there really a Ghost King that would devour three hundred living souls one
If there was, there was no need to wait for a crusade. He felt like grabbing his sword and chopping now.
“What?”
“If you like the idea of Ghost Kings devouring human souls everywhere, it’s better to say all underworld ghosts like to eat living souls. If you want to exterminate the underworld, extinguish this thought as early as possible. Wait until the day you become a spiritual ancestor, then start this idea!”
Feng Qing’an fell silent, he knew there were too many things in this world he couldn’t bear to see. But if he really wanted to level them out, even a saint would be powerless, no matter how willing they are. “You Huang! What was the sword you just threw down for?”
Feng Qing’an brought up another matter.
“That was a weapon used by a Ghost King that I seized not long ago. I left a superior Ghost Devouring Method and Ghost Cultivation Method in it!”
“So you really want him to become a ghost general!”
Feng Qing’an laughed.
“Since he chose to stay in the underworld, he can’t become a ghost-god. The little divine power on him, without the replenishment of incense, is like a rootless duckweed which will deplete before long. If I didn’t give him the Ghost Cultivation Method, he would die in battle here.”
“So, he can only turn and become a ghost cultivator?”
“There’s nothing wrong with being a ghost cultivator. After all, he doesn’t have a choice. There’s basically no way out for being a ghost-god. With his nature, there’s no possibility of promotion. Before his soul disperses and is exhausted, he will be oppressed. It’s better to join my command and become my commander!”
You Huang explained to Feng Qing’an.
“Sounds reasonable!”
“If he’s smart enough, he should pull out the sword I left before his divine power is exhausted. This way, he can complete his dedicated cultivation early and obtain a new source of power!”
“If he would rather die than submit, even if he dies, he wouldn’t pull out the sword you left and fall from a ghost-god into a ghost general. How would you treat that?”
“This is the second choice I give him. Choose to fall, gain the power he once despised, guard the rift of the underworld; or keep his own power pure, die in battle at the rift of the underworld as a ghost-god, allowing the gates between the human world and the underworld to open wide, enabling the ghosts and monsters to wreak havoc in the human world!”
“You Huang!”
‘Yes?”
“I just realized today, you’re really sly!”
Upon hearing You Huang’s arrangement, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but burst into laughter. With Xu Wupan’s nature, what choice he would make was not a question that needed to be pondered at all.
“Huh?!”
“But, I like it!”
“It’s just a method a ruler should have. Whether willing or not, as long as I want to use him, he must be used!”
“Hahaha, it’s no wonder that you’re my…”
“Don’t you have anything else to do? It’s time for your cultivation!”
Before Feng Qing’an could finish his sentence, his consciousness was expelled. You Huang forcefully interrupted Feng Qing’an’s “Sending God Skill”. She didn’t want to hear him continue.
“Tsk, I haven’t finished my sentence yet!”
In the room, Feng Qing’an, who was hugging the young girl, muttered, then calmed his mind amidst the dissatisfied mumbling of the girl in his arms, and helped the girl guide her power.
“Soul Devouring Soul Blessing Skill”
It was Feng Qing’an’s latest acquired secret technique. After some time of study and training, Feng Qing’an had basically mastered it and understood the purpose of this secret technique..
