Bai Moxue was amused by his appearance. "Alright then."
"Hey, can you be gentler? I don't have much experience."
"Ha! You're a few years older than me, shouldn't it be me asking you?" she teased.
"True, you have a point, but don't worry. I'm the great benefactor of Ximen. I'll be just fine." Luo Sheng put on a grandiose expression.
"Great benefactor?" Bai Moxue smiled and looked at him.
...
"Stop, stop, stop! That's enough! Enough!"
"Spirit recovery!"
...
"More? You're not serious, right?"
"Ah... Holy Light!"
...
That night, by the window.
Bai Moxue sat quietly at the dressing table.
The bronze mirror reflected the youthful face of the girl, and she gently blushed. She picked up a pure red lipstick, blinked her eyes, and applied it. Her lips turned a light red, giving off an enticing fragrance. Her heart-shaped brows were vividly red, adding to her elegance and beauty.
She gathered her hair into an updo, securing it with a hairpin.
Her appearance was of a soon-to-be bride, the mature charm already evident.
Although they hadn't officially gotten married yet, they had already shared intimate moments.
Meanwhile, Luo Sheng lay on the bed, looking like a lifeless dog, utterly drained.
He had lost ten pounds during their wild storm of passion, and had used up one "Spirit Recovery" and one "Holy Light" just to survive. This girl was so wild; she almost took his life.
Luckily, he was a Card Master, or he'd probably have a gravestone by his bed.
"Sigh... I never thought I'd be 'carded' and 'inserted' like this, and so soon... My innocence is gone, oh no..." Luo Sheng wiped away a few tears of grievance.
This situation was completely unexpected. He never thought he'd lose his virginity to a female ghost. What a surprise!
Alright, he admitted, he envied Ning Caichen.
It turned out, the pleasures of being an undead knight were beyond his comprehension!
"Sorry, I'm new to being a ghost, so I couldn't control myself. But don't worry, my husband, I'll practice, and next time, I'll know how to control it. Should we try again?"
Bai Moxue flashed a playful smile, sticking out her tongue in a charming manner.
Her movements were elegant, and she gently covered her red lips with her sleeve, radiating grace.
"Again?" Luo Sheng immediately felt a shiver run down his spine, as if he were trying to escape.
"It's a joke. Want me to help you out? I learned a little medical skill when I was younger. It could be a compensation for you since I feel that not only has my body recovered, but my strength has also increased significantly." Bai Moxue said.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Luo Sheng was relieved. He hadn't expected to find free help, saving him the trouble of going to a massage parlor.
Before they could begin, both of them frowned at the same time. They felt a faint but constant presence drawing closer.
White Mo Xue said, "It's the Ghost King's spies. They must be looking for us."
Luo Sheng climbed out of bed. "I'll go take care of them."
"No need, let me handle it. I want to familiarize myself with my abilities," she replied.
She stood up as well, pulling out a golden pair of scissors from her sleeve. The scissors gleamed brightly, seeming to be her main weapon, created from her own strength.
"Hey, your bridal gown won't get in your way, right?" Luo Sheng had wanted to ask this earlier, noticing how thick and heavy the gown was.
"Indeed, it's a bit troublesome, but I have a solution."
White Mo Xue used the scissors to cut away half of her heavy bridal gown, removing the unnecessary decorations. She was now much lighter, and her figure seemed even more graceful, with her fair and rosy skin catching the eye.
"How do I look? Pretty?"
"..."
Indeed, women become wasteful when they gain strength.
The two of them quietly left the room.
On a rooftop, they spotted the two ghost spies. They were wearing tattered leather armor, which suggested they had been soldiers in their previous lives.
"They probably won't escape to this remote town," one ghost said.
"Who knows? Let's search a bit, and we'll be done," the other responded.
"That's what I thought. We'll just do a quick sweep and report back," the first one said.
As they looked around, suddenly, a large number of red silk threads emerged, trapping them.
From the shadows, Bai Moxue and Luo Sheng appeared.
The ghost soldiers froze upon seeing the two of them. One of them shouted at the other, "You jinxed us! You said they weren't here, and now look!"
"I didn't want this," the other muttered.
Bai Moxue stepped forward and shook the golden scissors. She asked, "Are you the ones sent by the Bull Head General? Where is he?"
The two ghost soldiers gulped as they looked at the gleaming scissors.
"We were indeed sent by the Bull Head General, but please don't kill us, we'll tell you everything," they said, trembling.
The two soldiers, already frightened, had abandoned all loyalty.
After hearing their explanation, Luo Sheng learned that after he and Bai Moxue had escaped last night, the Ghost King had been enraged. He ordered the Bull Head General to capture Bai Moxue and torture her soul.
The Bull Head General had then dispatched numerous spies to search for them, and they were assigned to this area.
"Where is the Bull Head General's main base? How many people does he have? What's their strength?" Luo Sheng interrupted, eager to know.
He wanted to eliminate the Bull Head General in one go, weakening the Ghost King's forces. Gradually, he planned to destroy the Ghost King and free Bai Moxue from her torment.
"They're near the Yama Ghost Temple," one of the ghost soldiers answered.
At this moment, Bai Moxue frowned.
She seemed to sense something. She then asked, "Why are they near the Yama Ghost Temple? What are they planning?"
"Yama Ghost Temple? What's that?" Luo Sheng asked.
Though he had cards, it didn't mean he was familiar with everything in the card world.
Bai Moxue explained.
The Yama Ghost Temple was said to be the temple of King Yama, but currently, King Yama was missing, and the temple had fallen into disrepair. No one paid attention to it anymore.
However, the Yama Ghost Temple had anti-evil barriers.
Monsters and ghosts who entered often felt fear, especially the spirits of the underworld, because King Yama specifically dealt with minor ghosts.
So, the strange phenomenon was that although it was a ghost temple, it frightened the small ghosts as much as a temple dedicated to gods.
However, the Ghost King wasn't truly a god-ordained spirit.
He was more like a wild ghost who used dark magic to grow stronger and eventually became a local ruler. As a result, the Yama Ghost Temple's barriers could interfere with him.
At this point, the two ghost soldiers obediently explained:
"It's rumored that the place is a small vault of the underworld, storing King Yama's secret techniques. That's why many monsters were attracted to it.
The Ghost King led Bull Head General there to wait for the vault to open. That's why they sent us to search for you."
"The vault?" Luo Sheng caught onto something!
