In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 44 Gu Yuexi Appears, Settling Grudges

"Wanwan!" He Jinzong and his wife rushed over in surprise, intending to wake their daughter.

He Wanwan showed no reaction, and He Jinzong asked anxiously, "Why hasn't Wanwan woken up?"

Shuiwa took Miss He's pulse and said, "Don't worry, Miss He's soul has been missing for more than a year. She will definitely need to rest for one or two hours before she can wake up."

He Jinzong and his wife were relieved, their faces beaming with satisfaction: "That's good, that's good!"

He knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "He Jinzong thanks the Golden Saintess for her great kindness and virtue, and thanks the two celestial attendants for their tireless efforts. I only have one daughter, and she has been suffering from this strange illness for more than a year. I haven't had a single good night's sleep. Now I can finally rest easy. Once Wanwan wakes up and recovers, I will definitely take her to Qihuang Mountain to pay her respects to the Goddess."

Shuiwa used his spiritual power to lift the couple up.

The couple quickly expressed their gratitude: "Thank you, fairy boy."

He Jinzong suddenly thought of Ming Ke, who was unseen in the shadows, and his heart trembled with fear: "Why have you two immortal children brought the spirit of your wet nurse's grandson with you?"

Huowa glanced at Mingke standing by He Wanwan's bed and said, "It was Her Majesty who told us to bring him back, saying that some grudges need to be settled, and he is of utmost importance!"

“What grudge is there!” He Jinzong complained angrily: “If it weren’t for him, Wanwan’s soul wouldn’t have been stolen by Zhao Mama for a ghost marriage, and she wouldn’t have been in a coma for more than a year because of it.”

"Ghost marriage? What ghost marriage? How come I don't know about this?" Ming Ke suddenly looked up, his brows furrowed with confusion.

He Jinzong's love for his daughter outweighed his fear of ghosts.

He frowned and scolded angrily: "Ming Ke, what are you pretending for? Your grandmother said that you like our Wanwan, so she had someone steal Wanwan's soul to marry you in the afterlife. How could you not know about this?"

Ming Ke was surprised: "I really didn't know that Grandma stole Miss's soul and arranged a ghost marriage with me. I found Miss at the foot of the cliff outside the city. When I found her, I realized that she was Miss's soul. I thought she had been ambushed by the mysterious ghost hidden in the house. I was afraid that Miss would be harmed if she went back, so I kept Miss by my side."

He Jinzong was filled with righteous indignation: "You have ulterior motives..."

His eyes widened suddenly, a chill running down his spine: "What? There are ghosts in the house?"

"Fairy Boy, Fairy Boy, save our whole family!" He Jinzong pleaded urgently. He did not doubt Ming Ke. Putting aside the wet nurse's actions, Ming Ke had always been a well-behaved child.

The drought has lasted for three years, and several maids and servants have died in the family during these three years. Could it be that one of them failed to reincarnate and is still lingering in the house?

"Please, fairy boy, save my poor friend!" Luo Yousong trembled.

He was most afraid of ghosts and monsters.

Madam He glanced sideways: "Are there ghosts in the house? Ming Ke, how did you know?"

"Before I died, I saw it enter the main room of the master and mistress. It carried a thick, blood-red smoke. At the time, I was not sure what it was. But after I died and became a ghost, I realized that it was ghost energy. But compared to ordinary ghost energy, it had a strange aura."

Mingke remembers that when he was seriously ill, he was still able to walk. He was tormented by the pain and could not sleep at night. He would walk around the yard every time. One day, by chance, he walked to the front yard and saw a thick cloud of blood-red smoke at the entrance of the main yard.

He thought he was hallucinating because he was seriously ill.

Only after death did I realize that it was ghostly energy!

For the sake of the young lady and everyone in the family, he had tried to contact the other party, but the other party was well hidden. Even when he saw the thick red smoke, he could not find the other party.

He clearly sensed that the other party was significantly stronger than him.

After that, he suddenly found himself outside the city for some unknown reason, and became a ghost dressed in red.

He had seen it in ancient books before his death.

This kind of ghost is irrational and bloodthirsty. Contact with mortals will cause their life force to dissipate. However, he clearly knows that he still has reason. In order not to harm his family, he set up his ghost domain at the foot of the cliff.

One day, he suddenly found a prostitute.

He then spent a year living and working with the young lady.

Those were his happiest days.

He knew that the He family had a powerful and terrifying ghost, which was why he kept the young lady in his ghost realm to protect her.

He had considered countless possibilities regarding the appearance of the young lady, but he never imagined that his grandmother had stolen the young lady's soul to marry him in a ghost marriage.

Suddenly, he remembered a strange premonition he had before the young lady appeared. Instinctively following this premonition, he saw the young lady unconscious at the foot of the cliff. After the young lady woke up, she had lost her memory, yet she could see him again and even enter his ghost realm. Only then did he realize that he had taken in the young lady's living soul.

Could it be that Grandma really stole Miss's soul and arranged a ghost marriage with him?

Ming Ke exclaimed in disbelief, "How could this be? How is this possible? How could Grandma do such a rebellious thing?"

Ignoring Ming Ke's disbelief, He Jinzong asked urgently, "Immortal boy, where are the ghosts and monsters?"

"Fire Boy and I didn't detect the ghost's presence. We need Your Highness to intervene." Water Boy carefully sensed the area and shook his head expressionlessly.

He Jinzong asked urgently, "Then should we burn incense and pray to Your Majesty to appear?"

Huowa told He Jinzong, "No need, we sensed that the Empress is already here."

These words sent a chill down Luo Yousong's spine.

They all appear out of nowhere.

Wait, no! This is the Empress!
A divine goddess who saves you from suffering!
He clasped his hands together, repenting for his thoughts: "Your Majesty, please don't be offended, Your Majesty, please don't be offended."

"Snapped"

"Clap!"

He slapped himself several times.

The crowd looked around in awe and surprise. Was the Golden Saintess right beside them?

Fire Boy and Water Boy faced one direction, bowed their heads and said, "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

The others immediately knelt down.

Gu Yuexi used her spiritual energy to condense a barely perceptible phantom image and arrived at the He family's residence.

She is becoming more and more skilled at using spiritual energy to condense phantoms. From the enormous figure that used to blot out the sky, to the figure that is only two heads taller than everyone else, she can create them with ease.

All the people saw was a humanoid phantom that shimmered with a faint nine-colored divine light in front of them. The phantom was tall and holy.

Although the face and skin of the illusory figure were not clearly visible, she was sacred, majestic, and awe-inspiring. The illusory figure had long, flowing hair and a magnificent palace dress that billowed in the wind.

Like a figure cast by the sunlight, ethereal and graceful, noble and beautiful!
He Jinzong hurriedly said, "I was unaware of Your Highness's arrival. I have not been able to greet you properly. Please forgive me."

"No problem!"

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and they all stood up, greatly alarmed.

Is this the divine power of the goddess?

Before they could see her reach out, they were already lifted up by a mysterious, gentle force.

Ming Ke was shocked. This person's abilities were unfathomable, and his aura far surpassed that of the mysterious ghost. He suddenly believed what the two children had said.

Maybe this Golden Saintess really can solve the He family's problems.

"I am here to subdue that mysterious monster."

Gu Yuexi explained her purpose.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry rang out from outside the door: "How could Miss be back? What about my grandson Mingke? Is it really true, as the wise man said, that he will never be reincarnated? I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Let me in!"

Gu Yuexi's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Let's settle the current grudges first."

In an instant, the illusory image of the Golden Saintess vanished.

Fearing he might anger the Golden Saintess, He Jinzong roared, "Let that madwoman in!"
