Chapter 238: Chapter 237: They Must All Pay Homage to Her Turf After hearing the Little Ginseng Spirit’s account, everyone picturized that night’s events, and Black Impermanence also took out a scroll from his sleeve and spread it open. “Is this the person you saw?” Little Ginseng Spirit looked over, and excitedly said, “Yes, that’s him, that’s him! I remember the red spot under his eye, he’s the one who swallowed Uncle Le whole. Ooh, so pitiful.” “That’s a mole, what red spot?” Qin Liuxi shook it, “Stop crying, it’s annoying.” Under such circumstances, the Little Ginseng Spirit felt wronged, its old friend was gone, couldn’t it cry a bit? Eastern Ghost King stared at the portrait and said solemnly, “It seems that Zhou Le has indeed been devoured.” “There’s something amiss, those two ghosts must be involved,” Qin Liuxi observed the gender-ambiguous Evil Ghost in the portrait, and harrumphed. Black Impermanence was also troubled. Being devoured by Northern Ghost King, who had profound ghost power, that fellow would regain some strength. Now that things were clear, he didn’t linger and needed to report back to his superior. Before leaving, Black Impermanence pointed at Little Ginseng Spirit. Qin Liuxi hid it behind him and looked defensive, “Mine.” Black Impermanence helplessly said, “I wasn’t trying to snatch it from you. I just wanted to tell you, cultivation is not easy, and it has already developed spiritual wisdom, just missing a bit of opportunity to transform. Please don’t harm it too much, since there’s a connection, why not take it with you, and if the opportunity arises, why not give it a chance to transform?” Little Ginseng Spirit exclaimed in struggle. Seeing its reluctant look, Black Impermanence added, “Little Ginseng Spirit, don’t be unwilling, following the master, you’ll benefit. But if you stay here, this newly minted Ghost King might not be able to protect you.” Suddenly being singled out, Kuang Shan was embarrassed and felt like dying. Still need to practice cultivation, even Lord Impermanence looked down on him. “You saw the scene of Si Luo devouring Zhou Le, it was lured away by something suddenly that you narrowly escaped. What if it comes back to its senses and looks for you again? Can you evade it?” Black Impermanence advised, “Follow the master properly, and eventually, you’ll find your fortune.” Little Ginseng Spirit: But it feels, following Qin Liuxi might be even more terrifying than being devoured by an Evil Ghost. But Black Impermanence was right. It had been discovered already; if it came back looking, wouldn’t it be waiting to die? Now that it had been caught by Qin Liuxi, it was out of the tiger’s den and into the wolf’s lair. “Enough nonsense, if it is unwilling to follow me, I’m unwilling to take care of it either. I’ll just take it back and use it as medicine,” Qin Liuxi huffed heavily. Little Ginseng Spirit screamed in fear, “I’m not unwilling, I just can’t bear to leave this place. Master, don’t use me for medicine, I can grow fatter, bear Ginseng Fruits, those are the real treasures; I’ll give them all to you.” It saw Qin Liuxi pondering and added, “Master, although I am just a ginseng, I know there’s a saying in the human world—endless life, continuous growth. If you keep me, I can bear fruit periodically; even if you need some ginseng whiskers for medicine, I can provide them without being killed. Look, with the collapse of spiritual energy in the mortal world, how many ginsengs like me, ready to transform with developed spiritual wisdom, do you find? None, right? So, I am a precious and rare Spiritual Object.” Seeing Little Ginseng Spirit desperately selling itself, Kuang Shan opened his mouth, wanting to say something. He didn’t want Little Ginseng Spirit to leave, but with Black Impermanence having spoken already, his words would likely be ignored. Nevermind, better not humiliate himself. Seeing the pitiful Little Ginseng Spirit, Black Impermanence looked at Qin Liuxi, pleading for mercy, “Master...” “Alright, alright, follow me, from now on you’re my Ginseng,” Qin Liuxi said grudgingly. Lord Impermanence sighed with relief and said to the Little Ginseng Spirit, “Follow the lord, cultivate some merit diligently, my lord, I will leave first.” Qin Liuxi waved his hand. As soon as Lord Impermanence disappeared, the Eastern Ghost King asked, “My lord, what should we do now?” “What do you mean by ‘what should we do’? Just handle it casually.” Qin Liuxi placed the Little Ginseng Spirit on his shoulder, stood on a boulder, and looking towards the mountain mentioned by the Little Ginseng Spirit, said, “Zhou Le obviously knew that Evil Ghost; the two must have been close. Now that he’s gone, he might get what he wished for. What’s on that mountain?” Kuang Shan answered, “That’s Sumeru, which has a Buddhist Temple.” Qin Liuxi lightly tapped his finger, Buddhist Temple, huh? Was Si Luo attracted here, or was it for something else? “Kuang Shan, you’ve heard now how Zhou Le died and know about the escape of the Evil Ghost,” Qin Liuxi turned and stared at Kuang Shan, saying, “Now that Zhou Le won’t be coming back, you’ve taken up the throne of this Ghost King, you should also take responsibility as the master of this realm.” “Ah?” “Si Luo swallowing just one Zhou Le is not enough; the stronger the ghost power, the more it benefits him. As Ghost Kings, instruct your subordinates to be aware of abnormalities and try to find this thing as soon as possible,” stated Qin Liuxi. The Dong Dang Ghost King objected, “Didn’t the lord say to leave this matter for the Buddhist Sect to handle?” “I’m not intervening, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy watching the drama and seeking peace. Once it’s found, let the Buddhist Sect handle it; we’ll keep our hands clean,” Qin Liuxi chuckled mischievously. The Eastern Ghost King thought to himself, You are clearly jealous of how many believers and how flourishing the incense offerings are for the Buddhist Sect, that’s why you don’t want to take up this bitter task. But what she said was right, if Si Luo finds swallowing one Zhou Le insufficient and then comes after them, that would really be terrible luck; it definitely needs attention. Kuang Shan asked, “My lord, are you acknowledging that I am now the Ghost King?” Qin Liuxi mysteriously responded, “When did I ever not acknowledge it?” “You beat me.” “I beat you to teach you a lesson, so from now on when I call you, you must come,” Qin Liuxi gave him a stern look and continued, “I might take care of some matters in the Yang Realm, but do you expect me to manage the Yin Realm as well? Rest assured, I’m neither so ambitious nor do my responsibilities extend that far.” Crossing boundaries is hardly rewarding; she would not engage in such thankless jobs. “In both yin and yang realms, the same principle applies: survival of the fittest. If you’re strong enough to rise to power, that’s your own skill. Otherwise, what’s the point of cultivation? Isn’t it to become stronger? If becoming strong is useless, then why bother with the hardship of cultivation? Might as well give up.” Qin Liuxi said, “So in my eyes, I don’t care who becomes the Ghost King. Whoever has the ability takes the position. I care about only one thing; when I need them, they must obey. If they don’t, I’ll make them through beating until they do.” Kuang Shan nervously bowed, “I understand, my lord.” It’s all about paying respects to your authority. Qin Liuxi nodded in satisfaction and said, “Considering your diligent cultivation and that you’ve committed no evil, today is also a joyful day for you. I beat you and dragged you along this journey, delaying you for so long; your bride must be getting anxious. I’ll grant you a little fate, wish you great happiness in your marriage, and congratulations on your promotion to Ghost King, hoping you can hold this position for a longer time.” She flicked her fingertips, and two merits fell upon Kuang Shan. A slap followed by a sweet date, she truly mastered this art. Kuang Shan, overwhelmed with emotion, knelt on the ground and thanked her profusely, “From now on, you are my father, wherever you send me west, I will never go east.” Or perhaps, stop being a Ghost King and follow her for cultivation? East Mountain Ghost King felt bitter with envy: Does the lord dislike them because they are older and not as attractive or savory as the young ones?
