âDarling, are you joking? How could I possibly be worthy of becoming the City Lord of this Fengdu Ghost City?â Bai Moxue said nervously.
Although she was grateful that Luo Sheng stood by her side in her current condition, and even gave her the position of City Lord, in her view, Luo Sheng seemed to have made a foolish decision.
Her current cultivation level had dropped to just over 100 years of spiritual power, and her supernatural abilities were very fragile.
In this underworld where strength was paramount, it would be easy for someone to usurp her power, and she wouldnât be able to hold her ground at all.
Earlier, when she agreed to marry him in Fengdu Ghost City and take over its management, she thought she would only play a role of ruling from behind a curtain, responsible for administration, while Luo Sheng would be the true City Lord.
However, she never expected that she wouldnât even need to rule from behind a curtain now, but would directly become the City Lord, reaching the top in one step.
If Luo Sheng wasnât her husband, she would have reason to suspect that he was setting her up for failure.
Bai Moxue continued, âDarling, with my current strength, I canât subdue them, and the people of Fengdu Ghost City wonât respect me either.â
Even the Yin King, who was originally sitting in the high seat, couldnât sit still anymore.
This seemed a bit unreasonable.
He still had 1,500 years of spiritual power left.
He was much weaker than the previous Ghost King, and if it werenât for the reputation he had accumulated over time, these guests probably wouldnât be too polite either.
So he advised, âYoung friend Luo, indeed, this approach is a bit rash. You should be the City Lord, and Miss Bai can assist you.
This way, the people below will be convinced. If you directly make her the City Lord, it will only put her in a dangerous position and make it difficult for her to gain respect.â
The Yin King advised earnestly.
His words were also very tactful.
Luo Sheng still smiled and said:
âI understand your concerns, but thereâs no need to worry. If I can make such a decision, I must have thought about it for a long time.â
He gave them a reassuring look.
âYou⌠alright, do as you please.â The Yin King saw that his advice was ineffective and didnât insist any further.
Bai Moxue also showed a helpless expression.
Meanwhile, the guests in the great hall in front of them.
Were still discussing among themselves, the hall was in an uproar.
âIt seems heâs still insisting.â
âHe doesnât intend to be an absentee boss, does he?â
âI think he actually wonât stay in Fengdu Ghost City for long. Think about it, we barely heard any news about him before, only occasionally.
It was always Lady Bai we often heard about, how she escaped from being a concubine of the Golden Ghost, and then grew step by step to where she is now. But do you know any details about Young Master Luo?â
A strange person with mouse ears analyzed.
He was a representative sent by other forces.
The people at the same table who heard this nodded one after another, âIt seems to be the case, Young Master Luo always appears out of nowhere, and each time with long intervals in between.â
âDo you think he comes out once and then has to retreat for a long time?â
âPerhaps heâs neither from the mortal world nor the underworld. After all, an ordinary person couldnât possibly have such abilities, especially with his bizarre techniques.â
While everyone was letting their imagination run wild.
Luo Sheng looked around at all the guests in the hall.
He coughed lightly.Read the latest chapters at NovelPing.
Immediately suppressing the noisy hall, everyone fell silent.
Then he said to all the guests in the great hall:
âBai Moxue will be the new City Lord of Fengdu Ghost City. Sheâs new to this role and there may be many things she doesnât understand, so I hope everyone will be patient and supportive.â
As soon as Luo Sheng finished speaking.
Many people in the audience stood up and raised their cups, saying: âDonât worry, Young Master Luo, Lady Bai is an outstanding talent, she will surely manage Fengdu Ghost City well.â
âYes, if you need anything from our Liushu Village in the future, just ask. Weâre all one family, no need to be polite.â
âMy humble Huangcun Village also supportsâŚâ
âMy villageâŚâ
The guests stood up laughing, raising their cups and drinking, extremely enthusiastic.
Luo Sheng also raised his cup and drank with them.
But he knew that although everyone present was speaking so nicely, they had many ulterior motives.
Although they wouldnât dare to directly occupy Fengdu Ghost City in the future, they would definitely play some tricks, even secretly manipulate forces within the city.
To cause trouble for him and undermine Bai Moxueâs authority.
However, they were all barking up the wrong tree.
In the future, Bai Moxue would become a powerful existence. How could his card remain a damaged card forever?
Luo Sheng wore a bright smile on his face as he clinked glasses and drank with them.
Afterwards, under the gaze of everyone, they were sent to the bridal chamber.
The guests also gradually retreated.
The joyous occasion in Fengdu Ghost City ended in a sparse and hurried manner, quite hastily.
But under the watchful eyes of all the ghost citizens in the city, the wedding was considered quite grand, after all, it was a special period now.
In a luxurious bedroom in the City Lordâs mansion.
Bai Moxue sat on the bed, her head still covered with a bright red, jewel-encrusted veil.
Luo Sheng gently lifted it.
He saw Bai Moxueâs delicate face, without makeup yet as colorful as the morning glow on snow.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes like clear pools of water. When she glanced around, there was naturally an air of elegance and nobility that captivated people, made them feel ashamed of their own inadequacy, and dared not to profane.
That cold and lively demeanor had a soul-stirring charm, yet also made people unable to stop thinking about her.
She smiled faintly, with a hint of resentment at the corner of her mouth.
Then she complained, âDarling, you rascal, youâre just throwing me to the wolves, pushing me onto the fire to be roasted.â
Luo Sheng sat beside her.
Then he put his feet on the edge of the bed, half of his body lying on the festive red bed.
With his hands behind his head, he said, âDonât worry, I wonât do anything without certainty.â
âThen what are you going to do now?â
Bai Moxue turned her head to look at him, continuously removing the hairpins fixed in her hair, as well as various gold and silver jewelry, letting down her soft, long black hair.
Like a waterfall, it cascaded onto the bed.
Luo Sheng rubbed her beautiful hair.
Only then did he take out the bronze-level ăGhost Realm â World Fragmentă.
Immediately, a gray-white crystal appeared in his palm, emitting a faint aura, powerful and mysterious.Read this novel at NovelPing for the best experience.
It was more fantastic than the ghost crystal obtained from killing the Ghost King, full of indescribable allure for Bai Moxue.
âWhat is this?â
Bai Moxue asked in confusion.
Luo Sheng replied, âA world fragment, youâll know after you absorb it.â
Bai Moxue held it in her palm without hesitation.
Because Luo Sheng had never lied to her.
So she trusted Luo Sheng almost one hundred percent.
Bai Moxue sat cross-legged, releasing her limited supernatural power, permeating into the crystal.
In a moment, she felt a warmth slowly seeping into her body, filling her limbs and bones.
Like spring rain moistening dry ground.
Her essence blood, which had been burned to withered grass, began to recover under the nourishment of the rain, and began to grow anew.
The lost cultivation and spiritual power also began to recover.
About the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
The world fragment dissipated into the world.
Bai Moxue felt that more than half of her spiritual power had been restored.
She immediately opened her eyes wide, showing a surprised expression. She felt it was unbelievable, even the experienced Yin King would have a headache over this matter.
Yet Luo Sheng casually took out something and could easily solve it.
âThis thing must be very precious, right?â
Bai Moxue felt a bit uneasy, pondered for a while, and finally asked.
Luo Sheng replied in an indifferent tone, âNot precious at all, believe me, these things are not as precious as you.â
The function of the world fragment was to strengthen cards.
In fact, it was just a bunch of material cards, the significance of the world fragment was greater than its practical use.
âThank you, husband.â
Bai Moxue said to Luo Sheng with sincere gratitude in her clear eyes.
He just smiled.
Especially when he felt that Bai Moxueâs strength had recovered to Bronze 10-star, he felt much more relaxed inside.
Then he said, âYouâre my wife, if I donât help you, who else would I help?â
At this moment, Bai Moxueâs face showed a hesitant expression, she seemed to be considering how to speak.
Although this crystal had helped her recover half of her strength, to accept the position of City Lord, her current strength was still much weaker.
She couldnât possibly command respect.
Bai Moxue felt that even though Luo Sheng spoke in a relaxed tone, such precious crystals should not be abundant, perhaps there was only one.
Luo Sheng seemed to see through her thoughts.
âYou want more, donât you?â
He casually took out three more world fragments, one bronze level and two silver level.
Suitable for her to absorb gradually from low to high.
