Shi Sheng's words were like a catalyst.
It was as if the space that had been frozen by someone suddenly came alive.
Everyone's attention was focused on Shi Sheng, as if he was a monster.
"Why are you looking at me?" Shi Sheng impolitely rolled his eyes. "I'm not a BOSS."
[…] You're scarier than a BOSS.
The system added insult to injury.
"Miss Ji, why are you here?" Li He stared at Shi Sheng, his eyes full of caution.
Li He's mind was filled with questions.
Why was this psychopath here?
Why did he meet this psychopath?
Captain, are you sure you're not secretly in love with this psychopath?
Eh, something strange seemed to have sneaked in.
Shi Sheng sneered. "Do I need to report to you where I am?"
Li He: "…" This girl was poisonous!
He only asked casually, and she stabbed him back. Little girl, you won't have any friends if you act like this! Fine, he didn't really want to be friends with her.
"Ahem …" Li He coughed to cover it up. "Miss Ji, we're on official business. Please don't interfere."
"Official business?" Shi Sheng looked at the black cat. "That's it?"
The black cat's gaze swept over everyone. Its glowing green eyes looked even more treacherous in this situation.
It didn't show any signs of panic at the appearance of so many people. It continued to lick its paws unhurriedly.
Li He's expression suddenly became serious. "It's already harmed many people. This is a serious matter. Miss Ji, please don't kill innocent people for your own selfish reasons."
They were following the black cat's trail.
They had been monitoring it for a few days, but it escaped several times. They only discovered its identity yesterday.
Today, they finally found its trail. He immediately brought people to chase after it.
Li He felt that this girl was definitely going to cause trouble, so he had to give her a heads-up so that she wouldn't do anything rash.
"Oh." Shi Sheng responded ambiguously.
Li He: "…" So what did that "oh" mean?
Li He and the others were here for the black cat. Li Chengyun and the woman were here for Qu Miao.
"Miaomiao, come here." The woman's voice was gentle, like a mother coaxing her child. She was very patient. "Miaomiao, it's very dangerous over there. Come to Mommy's side quickly."
This woman was indeed Qu Yinyin, Qu Miao's mother.
Qu Miao shook her head and floated directly to the Shi Sheng.
As soon as she moved, the black cat moved as well. It arched its back and kicked hard with its hind legs, pouncing towards Qu Miao.
"Miao Miao!" Qu Yinyin's voice was a little sharp, mixed with fear, and she also shot out.
At the same time, Li He and the others moved as well. The only ones who didn't move were Li Chengyun and Shi Sheng.
Ever since Li Chengyun saw Gui Yue, he had maintained the same posture. Under the dim light, it was impossible to see the emotions on his face.
However, judging from the aura around him, he should be on the verge of going berserk. As long as there was a fuse, Li Chengyun would explode.
"What enmity do you have with him?" Shi Sheng looked at Gui Yue and asked very casually. It was as if the person standing in front of him wasn't a dangerous person who was about to go berserk. He had a sense of arrogance that didn't put him in his eyes.
Gui Yue tilted his head, a strand of silver hair peeking out from under his hood. He seemed to be thinking about how to answer Shi Sheng's question. After a while, he spat out four words, "The enmity of stealing the throne."
"Not the enmity of killing his father?" Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows.
Li Chengyun was once the Ghost King?
But the current Li Chengyun was indeed a human …
So was he reincarnated? He needed to use the female lead to go back, or to recover his strength. That was pretty much how the novel was set.
Gui Yue shook his head and answered seriously, "I didn't kill his father."
Huh? Didn't you just say that Li Jian died by your hand? How come you didn't kill him?
Gui Yue seemed to have guessed what Shi Sheng was thinking. He explained softly, "Li Jian didn't have any children. He's Li Jian's nephew."
Shi Sheng: "…"
Gui Yue killed Li Jian, but he didn't become the Ghost King. Instead, the male lead, Li Chengyun, took advantage of the loophole and beat him to it.
But as the villain boss, Gui Yue naturally succeeded in his counterattack. He forced Li Chengyun to reincarnate to avoid him, so that he could take the opportunity to go back and take back the Ghost King's position.
It had to be said that if Li Chengyun hadn't died, the setting of this supernatural novel would have been pretty good.
At least it suited the public's tastes.
Whatever, I'll kill him first.
Shi Sheng pulled out his sword and slashed at Li Chengyun without warning. Gui Yue was startled by Shi Sheng's sudden movement. When he reacted, he immediately followed Shi Sheng and attacked Li Chengyun together.
Li Chengyun had a human body after all. Shi Sheng couldn't do anything to him. But Gui Yue was different. He was the Ghost King.
When the Ghost King attacked, it was obvious whether or not he was strong.
Gui Yue flipped Li Chengyun to the ground. When he first came to the human world, his main goal was to find her. Meeting Shi Sheng was an accident.
But he felt that this was a necessary accident.
She was like another meaning to his life.
She was his belief.
"Bah!" Li Chengyun spat out the blood in his mouth. His gaze was dark as he stared at Gui Yue. "Gui Yue, do you think you've won?"
Gui Yue's face was hidden under his hood. The black robe swayed slightly in the wind, making a soft sound. "I've given you so much time, but you're still so weak."
Li Chengyun's eyes flashed with a vicious light. "Gui Yue, were you the one who released Hundred Ghosts?"
"So what if it was me?" Gui Yue's voice seemed to contain a smile, but it made people's scalps tingle. "So what if it wasn't me?"
"Despicable!" Li Chengyun gritted his teeth.
If Hundred Ghosts hadn't been suddenly released, he wouldn't have been forced by Gui Yue to abandon his real body and fall to his current state.
But Hundred Ghosts had been imprisoned in the eighteenth layer of hell. He always felt that with Gui Yue's ability at the time, it was impossible for him to release Hundred Ghosts.
"Why are you wasting words with him? Hurry up and stab him to death. Villains die from talking too much." Shi Sheng saw that the two were chatting and immediately egged Gui Yue on.
What's the point of chatting with the male lead?
Talking too much is just stalling for time.
If there's a chance to kill him, don't be soft-hearted. Otherwise, you'll be the one to die.
In Shi Sheng's dictionary, a secret is more important than life.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gui Yue immediately responded. Her black robe drew a perfect arc in the air. Wind suddenly blew in all directions. The wind was biting cold. Wherever it blew, the leaves were directly torn to shreds.
Whoosh — —
A black shadow shot past Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng instinctively slashed down. The Iron Sword missed, and the black shadow landed on Li Chengyun's body.
In the blink of an eye, it sank into Li Chengyun's chest and disappeared.
Li Chengyun's pupils were dyed with a green light. His body suddenly jumped up from the ground. His fingers curled into claws, and he clawed at Gui Yue.
This was only a feint. His goal was to leave Gui Yue's range of control. So when Gui Yue dodged, he immediately retreated. His body was slightly bent. His body was agile, and his landing was silent, just like a cat.
