Chapter 74 The Evil King of Ghosts

“Sister.”

This word implied too much sadness. Nobody knew how sad Rongnuan felt when he said this word. Ronghua held him with one hand and fended off the attack with another hand. The fragments of the blade were stuck deeply in the ground beside her.

“Is this an unseemly attack, Sir?”

He was in a daze until he heard Ronghua’s voice.

“Ronghua!”

Ronghua lowered her head and said, “Alright, here I am!”

Ronghua was not sure what he wanted to do now. Although she stared unnaturally at the wind that was curling up, she could not help but feel that man would suddenly attack. Therefore, she held him even harder.

Rongnuan had a sour nose and turned around to embrace Ronghua. Ronghua didn’t mind either. She knew he was aggrieved and deeply frightened, so she didn’t mind him doing so.

When the gust went by, Ronghua saw a man come out. He was dressed in dazzling red and holding a red umbrella in one hand, which just covered his face and veiled his expression. He was holding a person in his arm, and that was You Feng, who was kidnapped. But now she was in a coma, and there was no sign of waking up.

Because You Yue had a hot temper, she immediately scolded, “Playboy, let go of my sister!” She advanced towards him with a long blade in her hand. However, he leisurely held You Feng in his arm, and the red umbrella in his hand moved slightly, and then the shadowless attack went towards You Yue. You Yue turned the blade, and her body tilted to a right angle. Meanwhile, the tip of the blade pointed directly at the ground. With this strength, she rebounded herself and went towards him again. It must be said that You Yue was fearless when her elder sister was involved in.

The man in red retreated quickly, holding You Feng in the arm. It seemed that he didn’t want to have too much fight with You Yue. “I take her away!” he shouted.

Ronghua was familiar with the voice. “Couldn’t this person be the Evil King of Ghosts?” she doubted.

“Stop! Let go of my sister.”

Yue Yue rushed to him, but she didn’t even touch a corner of his clothes.

Ronghua said, “The Evil King of Ghosts wants to take her away. How dare you stop him?”

“The Evil King of Ghosts!”

You Yue was a little surprised, and she didn’t seem to believe that this man was the Evil King of Ghosts. “How is it possible? How could he be....”

She looked at the person in front of her. He came and went without a trace. He was dressed in red, with a machete at his waist. Moreover, he always held a red umbrella. It was said that his skin was too delicate, so in order to protect his icy skin, he used the umbrella to block the sunlight!

Bah! These were just flattery words! As a ghost, he was afraid of the sunshine, of course.

Although she didn’t want to think about it in this way, she couldn’t help. Nobody knew how long the Evil King of Ghosts had lived and how high his cultivation was, and he was the most difficult person to get along with in the Cultivation World.

“Ronghua!” You Yue snarled to her, “Look at you! Who do you attract?”

Ronghua raised her eyebrow and looked at her. “Is she blaming me? Do I attract him here?? Maybe she thinks I am the one who attracts the Evil King of Ghosts.” Ronghua reckoned.

Ronghua looked calm. “Watch your mouth!” she warned.

“What’s wrong with my words!” You Yue was helpless now. Maybe she even couldn’t beat Ronghua, not to mention the Evil King of Ghosts. At the thought of this, You Yue couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Then, another gust of wind came, and Ronghua subconsciously protected Rongnuan. It seemed that the Evil King of Ghosts didn’t have any other intention and just wanted to take a person away. But why did he choose You Feng?

“Sister!”

As soon as the Evil King of Ghosts left, the white mist around them dispersed. When Rongnuan had a clear look at the surrounding landscape, he found that the dilapidated temple was beside them and that they had never left the place. Rongnuan’s eyes darkened while Ronghua could not see. Suddenly he felt that he was cheated even by something that was neither a human nor a ghost.

Ronghua let him go until the Evil King of Ghosts left. “Are you okay?” she asked.

Seeing Ronghua’s worried look, he smiled and said, “I’m fine!”

Ronghua took his hand and looked at it carefully. The bleeding wound had not yet healed. Because he had just evaded that man’s attack, the wound that had been better was split again, and much blood had been shed.

Ronghua gently covered the wound. “No, you’re not! It’s bleeding. Doesn’t it hurt?”

“I’m fine!”

“Don’t do it next time!”

“Well!”

They spoke so naturally, and Jun Lang was bitter in his heart. He had been turning his back to them since then and did not see how she cared about Rongnuan. He didn’t want to know more than that.

However, many years later, he deeply regretted that he shouldn’t have been so coward!

“Where are we going next?” Rongnuan asked.

“Nanning Continent!”

“What are you going to do there?”

“To find someone!”

Listening to what they said, You Yue guessed that they were going to leave without any plan for her and her sister. “What about my sister?” You Yue thought.

“You’re leaving?” she stepped forward hastily and asked.

Rongnuan looked sideways and said, “Yes, we are going. You want to stop us?”

“No!” She explained, “What about my sister if you’re gone?”

What she said made Ronghua laugh. “What about your sister? What does it matter to me?” she questioned.

“I.... You must save my sister!”

Ronghua squinted and said, “Is this a threat or a command?”

“Neither!” She explained, “That’s my style of speaking. Never mind, but my sister...”

“Your sister?” Ronghua interrupted her “What does your sister have to do with me? Besides, you’ve been arguing about leaving before? It’s the right time now. You don’t have to follow us anymore. You can go.”

You Yue shouted anxiously, “Don’t go! My sister can’t do anything now.”

Ronghua looked up and said coldly, “I’m your savior. You weren’t grateful to us but even nearly hurt Rongnuan. I let you stay before, but you were intent on escaping. Now your sister is taken away, and isn’t it just what you wanted? I don’t need you to come with us anymore.”

“That was a misunderstanding before!”

“Oh!” Ronghua said with loathing. “Are there always so many misunderstandings in this world? Am I going to save someone owing to your words?” she thought.

“Please help my sister!”

You Yue cried and ran to Ronghua, but Ronghua did not even look at her.

“Please, save my sister!”

Ronghua helped Rongnuan stand up and turned around to leave.

“Please!” When You Yue saw that they were going, she knelt in front of them in advance and begged.

When Jun Lang saw her like this, he scolded her for her stupidity. It was impossible for Ronghua to do anything without paying any price unless you could bring out something valuable to make transactions with her. Otherwise, it was impossible to let her do things for nothing.

Now, she probably didn’t have what Ronghua wanted.

Facing the person kneeling in front of her, Ronghua was ruthless. Lots of people had knelt in front of her to beg her for help or mercy. “Should I promise to help everyone who kneels in front of me?!” Ronghua thought.

“What do you take me for?”

“Please!” Kneeling in front of her did not work, so You Yue directly came to hold her feet. Ronghua was even more discontented, and her look was so cold as if she wanted to eat people.

“Let go of my leg!”

“No, please save my sister!” She wailed, but Ronghua was still unmoved.

You Yue looked up at her, but Ronghua was staring straight ahead. Ronghua didn’t mean to help her, so she was desperate.

You Yue turned her head and saw the frail Rongnuan was standing by the side. Then she didn’t care about Rongnuan’s eccentricity. After releasing Ronghua, she went to held Rongnuan’s leg.

Rongnuan was helpless.

“Please!”

Rongnuan looked at her helplessly. He couldn’t help but hold Ronghua’s hand tightly to ask for help.

Ronghua was also holding back something, but her look had already returned to calm.

“I’m not a saint, and I’ve never made a meaningless deal.”

“Deal?”

Thankfully, Ronghua finally intended to help her.

You Yue let go of Rongnuan and asked, “What do you want?”

Ronghua intended to help her, so things got easier.

Ronghua turned her head and smiled, “I want your fire!”

“What?” You Yue thought she had heard it wrong and asked again, “What do you want?”

Ronghua explained it again patiently, “Your fire! Will you give it to me?”

You Yue slumped on the ground. She had estimated so many probabilities but hadn’t even thought about this demand. “She doesn’t say anything, but the only thing she wants is this. Why not something else?” she wondered.

“Why?” She didn’t know what she had to trade for except the Divine Fire.

“So, won’t you?” Ronghua inquired.

“No!” You Yue answered. She wiped her tears and said, “I can give you now!” She was willing to do anything for her sister.

Then she was ready to force the fire out of her body. Ronghua stopped her and said, “Not now!”

You Yue wondered, “Why?”

Ronghua smiled and said, “After I rescue your sister, she will take me to find an old guy, and then you give me the fire?”

You Yue wondered, “An old man? Who is that?”

“You don’t have to know that much now!” Ronghua interrupted her, “You will know if it’s the right time!”

Not bad. “Without taking away the fire now, the odds of saving my sister are greater.” She thought. Then she asked, “Shall we go to my sister now?”

“Now? No, of course, it’s time to rest! “

“Take a rest?”

“Rongnuan is exhausted now. Besides, we should cultivate ourselves well before we save her. Otherwise, we will be seckilled by the Evil King of Ghosts.”

Rongnuan said blankly, “I’m not tired!”

“But….”

“All right!” Ronghua interrupted her, “I said I would save your sister, and I will surely do it. As for now, I think the Evil King of Ghosts has no intention of killing anyone for the time being, but he is supposed to do something else. Don’t worry!”

No matter how important it was, she had to wait until Ronghua was willing to do it, and that was the only thing she could do.

“Ronghua, you won’t regret it, will you?” Rongnuan grabbed her hand and asked her doubtfully.

“Yes, I won’t regret it! Can’t you believe me? Now you are sleepy and go to sleep!” Ronghua looked into his eyes. Rongnuan felt that his head was getting dizzy, and the things in front of him were spinning. Then he poured directly into Ronghua’s arms. Looking at Rongnuan, who had fallen asleep, she was relieved. Ronghua took him in her arms and went to Jun Lang. She gave Rongnuan to him and whispered to him, “You take Rongnuan to the dilapidated temple to rest and set up formations around it. If I don’t call you, you’re not allowed to come out.”

Jun Lang got the order and disappeared in front of them. You Yue’s eyes had been staring at Ronghua for fear that she would disappear in a blink of an eye. “What does she mean to say when she lets them go on purpose?” You Yue thought.

However, the only person who could save her sister now was probably this woman. Otherwise, she would not have given up her dignity to plead with her in that humble way.

“Do you think I will flee from you as you look at me like this? Or do you stare at me for fear that I will repent?” Ronghua asked.

You Yue shook her head and said, “Never!”

Ronghua smiled and showed an unreal expression. With a slap, an ice chair appeared. Ronghua took a seat and looked at You Yue’s eyes consciously. Meanwhile, she rubbed her fingers from time to time. “Never?” she questioned.

You Yue clenched her teeth, lowered her head, and stopped looking at Ronghua’s eyes. She always felt that she was seen through when she was looking at Ronghua’s eyes. Did she know how to read the mind?

“You don’t have to doubt my ability. After all, no one has dared to stare at me for so long. Should I say that you are brave or that you are ignorant?”
