Chapter 3403
3403 Lure the Two Ghosts
鈥淒o you think there are people coming to be killed by us in such a remote place? We haven鈥檛 killed any humans, but we鈥檝e killed many ghosts and animals,鈥?the male ghost said, sounding defeated. If they encountered humans, they would really kill them. After all, everyone fought for their own benefits. Only by absorbing countless souls could their level increase.
Given the male ghost鈥檚 attitude, Leng Xiaoyao didn鈥檛 have any doubts.
鈥淭hen let鈥檚 stop! But you can鈥檛 leave. We need to talk,鈥?Leng Xiaoyao said. She thought that these two ghosts had good skills and wanted to recruit them to work for her.
...They were different from Leng Yan and the others. Even though Leng Yan and the others were powerful, they were still trapped in the ancient mansion, while these two ghosts could move freely.
It was mainly because she felt that these two ghosts weren鈥檛 wicked. She could tell whether they were good or bad.
If she really made a mistake, it wouldn鈥檛 be too late to deal with it later.
The male and female ghosts also agreed not to leave, so both sides stopped.
As for Li Mochen, he had no objections to any of Leng Xiaoyao鈥檚 actions.
鈥淲hat do you want to talk about?鈥?the female ghost asked. Although it was reluctant, it knew that even if they wanted to escape, they couldn鈥檛. Therefore, she might as well listen to what Leng Xiaoyao wanted to say.
鈥淲hy did you fight just then?鈥?Leng Xiaoyao asked curiously.
As soon as Leng Xiaoyao brought it up, the female ghost became angry. 鈥淚t was him. He ate the wolf I caught. He said we were self-sufficient, but he didn鈥檛 keep his promise.鈥?/p>
鈥淵ou caught two wolves. Can one person, oh no, one ghost eat them all?鈥?The male ghost had no intention of admitting his mistake.
鈥淲hether I can eat it or not is my business,鈥?the female ghost said.
鈥淒idn鈥檛 you steal my wild boar before?鈥?The male ghost retorted.
鈥淭hat was before. We agreed to be self-sufficient later,鈥?the female ghost said angrily.
鈥淚 already ate it, can you make me spit it out? If I spit it out, will you eat it?鈥?The male ghost asked.
鈥淵ou鈥︹€?The female ghost felt disgusted. It was disgusting that he could even think of that.
鈥淪ince he has already eaten it, why don鈥檛 you make him compensate you?鈥?Leng Xiaoyao said. She felt that the male ghost wasn鈥檛 being honest, but this wasn鈥檛 an irreparable matter.
鈥淔ine, fine, I鈥檒l compensate you. Is that okay?鈥?The male ghost knew that he was wrong and didn鈥檛 argue anymore.
Thus, the female ghost鈥檚 anger eased a bit.
鈥淗ow long have you been dead?鈥?Unexpectedly Leng Xiaoyao asked that question.
The two ghosts were stunned for a moment, then the male ghost said, 鈥淎bout three hundred years!鈥?/p>
鈥淒id you know each other before you died or after you died?鈥?Leng Xiaoyao asked again.
鈥淲e knew each other before we died. We were treated unfairly before we died, so we became ghosts,鈥?the male ghost said. Even though three hundred years had passed since the accident, he still harbored resentment when he thought about their cause of death.
鈥淥h! Can you tell me your story?鈥?Leng Xiaoyao asked, suddenly becoming interested in hearing a story.
鈥淲hy are you asking so many questions?鈥?The female ghost asked unhappily. She didn鈥檛 want to bring it up.
鈥淛ust asking out of boredom! If you don鈥檛 want to talk about it, I won鈥檛 force you,鈥?Leng Xiaoyao said. Although she wanted to know, she had no intention of forcing them to talk about it.
鈥淪ince we鈥檙e bored anyway, we鈥檒l tell you! Women really love gossip,鈥?the male ghost said. In fact, he was also a little frustrated and wanted to vent to someone. For three hundred years, they had always been together and there was nothing left to say to each other.
Leng Xiaoyao didn鈥檛 mind the male ghost saying that women really loved gossip.
It turned out that the man鈥檚 name was Qin Miao and he was a general. The woman鈥檚 name was Song Qingling and she was junior to Qin Miao.
They had the same master. Qin Miao went on an expedition and his master sent Song Qingling to assist him.
Unexpectedly, this expedition was a trap set for Qin Miao because his fianc茅e had an affair with the fourth prince while Qin Miao was the third prince鈥檚 person. In order for them to be together smoothly and to get rid of a major problem, they set a trap for Qin Miao.
On the way to the expedition, they were stabbed by countless assassins and fell off a cliff.
They survived and figured out that it was a conspiracy. After they recovered from their injuries, they returned to the capital city to investigate and found out that they had been labeled as traitors. The third prince that Qin Miao served was also exiled because of that.
Qin Miao originally wanted to ask his fianc茅e for help, but unexpectedly she pretended to agree then informed the fourth prince. He and Song Qingling were caught afterwards a
nd were then imprisoned in a dungeon where they endured torture.
Only then did Qin Miao realize that everything was designed by them.
In the end, they couldn鈥檛 bear the torture and died.
Because of their deep grievances and resentment, they became ghosts after death and tortured Qin Miao鈥檚 fianc茅e and the fourth prince in return. They also helped the third prince return to the capital city and eventually ascend to the throne.
However, they still couldn鈥檛 let go of the fact that they were killed, and it still affected them when they brought it up today.
鈥淪o you don鈥檛 have any other plans besides wandering around like this?鈥?asked Leng Xiaoyao. While their experiences were certainly sympathetic, it was something that happened three hundred years ago. She didn鈥檛 want to dwell on it any longer.
鈥淲hat else can we do?鈥?asked Qin Miao.
They were ghosts. Could they really live like humans?
鈥淚f you don鈥檛 want to fall into reincarnation, then find something interesting to do!鈥?said Leng Xiaoyao.
鈥淲hat interesting things?鈥?asked Song Qingling curiously.
鈥淔ollow me. I鈥檒l find some interesting things for you to do and take you to see some interesting things,鈥?Leng Xiaoyao said with a hint of coercion.
Qin Miao and Song Qingling weren鈥檛 stupid. They knew what Leng Xiaoyao meant as soon as they heard her words.
鈥淗uh! You want us to follow you and work for you, right? Don鈥檛 even think about it. We won鈥檛 be commanded by anyone.鈥?Song Qingling immediately refused in a cold voice. She didn鈥檛 want to be used by anyone!
鈥淭hat鈥檚 right. We are more suited to living freely like this,鈥?Qin Miao said.
Leng Xiaoyao wasn鈥檛 disappointed by their refusal because she didn鈥檛 have to make them follow her. It was just the best option.
鈥淚 see, then forget it. Let鈥檚 find some high-level monsters and demons before returning to Guiyun. We need a stronger team because that鈥檚 the world of cultivators, where only the strong are respected. Even if we regain our abilities as cultivators, it鈥檚 still a disadvantage to fight with fewer people,鈥?said Leng Xiaoyao. She originally said this just to say it in front of the two ghosts, but after saying it out loud, she realized it was a good idea.
This idea was suddenly born in Leng Xiaoyao鈥檚 mind. If only a few of them returned to Land Guiyun, they would definitely suffer a lot because they had too few people.
