Shi'er's jaw had dropped so much that he could not close it.
Previously, Siyang had volunteered to go directly to Granny Tree Demon to ask about Nie Xiaoqian's whereabouts.
He had thought that she had some way to get information out of her, but he did not expect that..,
She actually took a step forward and walked up to him.
Shi'er was far away, so he did not hear what Siyang had said to Granny Tree Demon. In a flash, he saw her send him flying.
The latter flew high into the air.
He landed heavily on the ground.
This action caused a series of commotion. Shi'er was ready to use his big axe to carve out a bloody path here. But what happened next..,
It was completely beyond his imagination.
Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap was quickly drowned out by the cries of the demons and ghosts. However, in the next moment, the entire place was silent.
All kinds of ghostly wails and howls came to an abrupt end.
It was as if something had pinched their throats and snuffed them out.
The man with horns on his head..,
Followed closely behind the Demon King. He happened to see the woman slap Wang Shang's face. His eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.
It showed that his heart was not calm.
At this moment..,
Even the air in this world seemed to have stopped.
No one dared to move.
No one dared to make a sound. They even held their breaths.
Lord Goblin was slapped to the side. Even he was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect to receive such treatment. The expression on his pale and handsome face changed.
Just when all the demons thought that their Demon King would definitely fly into a rage and teach that woman who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson for daring to slap their King, they were all eager to see their King extract that woman's soul and make her beg for death.
However..
"You..." Lord Goblin touched the corner of his lips and stared at Siyang with a frown. His deep voice was full of helplessness. "Who made you angry again?"
All the demons: "…" This was not the style they had agreed on.
Shi 'er, who was about to charge forward with his axe, stumbled and almost fell face first onto the steps. Yan Chixia, who was behind him, grabbed his belt and pulled him back.
Yan Chixia cast a sidelong glance at his disciple's dumbfounded expression and curled his lips in disdain. "Young man, you still need to experience more things to be able to remain calm and collected."
"They, they …" Shi 'er was tongue-tied and couldn't form a complete sentence. He pointed his finger at the two figures above. His meaning was obvious.
Yan Chixia let out a long sigh. He didn't say much, but his expression relaxed.
Siyang clenched the hand she used to hit Shi 'er. She raised her pretty face to look at Lord Goblin, who didn't seem to be angry. However, this kind of good temper was unable to extinguish the anger that had been brewing for a long time.
"Ha …" Siyang didn't directly answer his question. Instead, she turned to the crowd of demons below and said slowly, "Today is Wang Shang's 100th birthday. You should be sitting in a high position and being worshipped by all the demons to show your supreme reverence."
The handsome Demon King was a little displeased this time. He didn't like it. He really didn't like it when Siyang spoke to him in such an ambiguous tone. Furthermore, he felt a sense of alienation from her. It made him very uneasy.
Lord Goblin frowned. Under the scorching gazes of his subordinates, he reached out and held the shoulders of the woman beside him. His movements were very gentle, as if the slap didn't happen at all.
A series of cracking sounds rang out, and everyone's jaws almost fell to the ground.
"What do you want?" Lord Goblin didn't care why this woman was suddenly angry. He thought that it might be because he didn't personally find her and bring her to the Netherworld. He didn't care about his image as the Demon King and just wanted to coax her.
Unfortunately, Siyang didn't give him any face.
"I should be the one asking Wang Shang this question." Siyang moved her body and broke free from his hand. She took a step back and stared at him with her clear eyes. She said coldly, "I didn't know that Wang Shang was going to marry a beautiful concubine on your birthday. You did a good job with this double happiness. It's really admirable."
With his hands empty, Lord Goblin's irritation rose again. However, when he heard Siyang's next words, he was completely out of it. His handsome face was stunned. "… You, what do you mean by that?"
What did she mean by he was going to marry a beautiful concubine? Who was this beautiful concubine? He didn't want to marry anyone as a concubine.
"The bride is here."
"Since that's the bride, then, then the one above … What's up with her?"
Lord Goblin heard the whispers of the people below clearly. With his cultivation, his divine sense covered the entire area. Nothing could escape his senses.
Siyang smiled. "Wang Shang, your bride is here. Why aren't you going to greet her?"
Lord Goblin looked in the direction Siyang was pointing at with a stunned expression.
He saw that in the distance, eight little ghosts dressed in red were floating in the air, carrying a red bridal sedan. The eight-person bridal sedan was very spacious. It wasn't airtight. Instead, it was hung with a thin red veil. From the outside, one could see a woman dressed in a red wedding dress sitting inside the bridal sedan.
Bride? Marrying a concubine?
Lord Goblin knew these words, but now that they were put together, he couldn't make sense of the situation at all. However, he became more and more nervous. When he saw Siyang's increasingly cold expression, Lord Goblin had a bad feeling. He hurriedly pulled her back.
"Caiyin, listen to me. I, I don't know what's going on. I have no intention of marrying a concubine." Lord Goblin, who had never experienced fear, was now breaking out in cold sweat. He stuttered as he explained, even forgetting his usual self.
Si Yang's face was expressionless as she allowed him to grab her wrist. She looked impatient, but in her heart, she was laughing.
Nie Xiaoqian was sent to the Black Mountain Demon King as a concubine by Granny Tree Demon. When she first heard the news, she was naturally angry. However, she wasn't angry at him. Her anger was directed at Granny Tree Demon. How dare they covet her man? They even sent a woman to their doorstep. They really treated her as if she didn't exist. Although she had always kept a low profile, she wouldn't allow anyone to climb over her head.
Therefore, she had long wanted to make a move on Granny Tree Demon. She didn't need to care about anything anyway.
As for the person who hurriedly explained in front of her, hmph. Even a matter like marrying a concubine was arranged right under his nose. He actually didn't know anything. Shouldn't he be taught a lesson? Giving him a slap was already a light punishment.
"Oh." Siyang closed her eyes and looked disappointed. "Then, Wang Shang, can you tell me what's going on with this woman?"
Eight little ghosts in red carried the bridal sedan down. The little ghosts looked around and didn't see their master, Granny Tree Demon. They trembled and shrank back. However, the gazes from all directions were too much for the little ghosts to bear. Especially the fierce gazes of the people in higher positions, they seemed to be able to directly penetrate their souls.
A gust of wind blew, and the red veil on the bridal sedan was blown away, revealing the appearance of the person inside.
She was wearing a bright red wedding dress, a phoenix crown with tassels. Her skin was as white as snow, and her hair was as thick as ink. She was a stunning beauty.
Lord Goblin stared at the woman. There was no surprise in his deep black eyes, only a strong bloodthirsty killing intent. No matter where this woman came from or why she appeared, she could only disappear completely now.
Feeling the dangerous aura of the person beside her, Siyang immediately understood what he wanted to do. Just as the black gas in his hand was about to gather, she hurriedly grabbed it and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"You don't like her. I'll make her disappear, okay?" Lord Goblin's voice, which had always been gloomy, became extremely soft and gentle at this time. He held the soft hand in his hand tightly and said, "Don't be angry. You can do whatever you want."
No matter how angry Siyang was, when she saw the grievance on his face and the caution in the depths of his eyes, it disappeared completely.
Although the handsome Lord Goblin had lived for tens of thousands of years, he was still a blank slate of emotions. When he liked someone, he wanted to treat her well and pamper her. When he angered her, his first reaction was to destroy the person or thing that made her unhappy. However, he didn't take responsibility for himself.
The corner of Siyang's mouth twitched. She was speechless. Just as she was about to say something, she glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and raised her chin. "I think you should ask your subordinates about this matter. What have they done behind your back?"
The snake-faced man clutched his chest and walked back unsteadily from where he fell: "…"
"This subordinate deserves to die." The snake-faced man fell to his knees and confessed in a trembling voice, "It was me who acted on my own initiative and agreed to Wang Shang's request to let the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian be Wang Shang's concubine."
Seeing Wang Shang's attitude and words towards the woman beside him, the snake-faced man finally understood something. It was too late for regrets.
The man with horns on his head gasped, shocked by his colleague's audacity. "Why are you so muddle-headed?"
The snake-faced man struggled for a moment. "I …"
"Say no more." Following the gloomy voice, a profound light gathered in the tall man's palm. A wisp of cold and terrifying aura began to rise.
Lord Goblin's gaze was bone-chilling. "Wang Shang doesn't need a smart-aleck subordinate like you, no matter what reason you have."
The horned man looked at the snake-faced man with pity. He clenched his teeth and knelt down as well. "Wang Shang, please calm down. The matter between you and the Mountain Chieftain has been known to very few people for more than ten years. Green Flood Dragon is in seclusion, so the news is blocked. Furthermore, the reason he wanted to find a concubine for Wang Shang was to help Wang Shang practice the Great Spirit Communication Technique.
The horned man's voice became softer and softer. "… Wang Shang already has the most suitable person by his side. It was this subordinate's misunderstanding. Please forgive Green Flood Dragon."
Siyang watched with wide eyes. The Demon King, who was originally brimming with killing intent, actually had an unnatural expression on his face after he spoke to the horned man.
What exactly was that Great Spirit Communication Technique? She narrowed her eyes. She was deeply suspicious.
"Enough. In any case, he has followed you for thousands of years." Siyang said coldly. She wasn't a narrow-minded person. Although she didn't have a good impression of the snake-faced man who took someone else's concubine without permission, she wouldn't really kill him. After all, he was still loyal to their king.
"Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian."
The mournful cries made Siyang finally remember that she had brought a few people down to kidnap the bride.
When Nie Xiaoqian appeared, Ning Caichen already couldn't hold himself back. However, he was also shocked by the drama above. When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was already late. If he delayed any longer, Nie Xiaoqian would really be a lonely ghost for the rest of her life after dawn.
"A mortal?" The horned man frowned. "Why would a mortal appear here?"
Siyang said indifferently, "I brought her down."
