My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

After a while, Wan Sutong turned her head to look at Zhao Jinghua, "Has the second princess returned?"

"No, it's just that if Xier wakes up today and doesn't see me, she will cry. Maybe it's because we've been together for so long that she's become a little dependent on me." Zhao Jinghua said in an extremely tired tone.

Wan Sutong chuckled after hearing this, "She didn't just fall asleep, did she?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and said in a tone of accustomedness, "No, it's just that I couldn't sleep at night, maybe I was too worried about the child."

Wan Sutong raised her hand and held Zhao Jinghua's hand. "Does this child always attract evil spirits?" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a series of heavy footsteps coming from far away and approaching outside the house.

Zhao Jinghua transformed into the Suihua Sword and walked quickly away from the bedroom. Seeing this, Wan Sutong also transformed into a spirit snake whip and followed. When the two of them arrived at the courtyard, they saw a monster with a fox head and a human body. When it saw the two of them, it instantly changed back to its original appearance. The fox demon had a straight head and a tail of three feet long, a shoulder width of six feet, a red body, and nine tails.

Zhao Jinghua stepped forward without any hesitation, swung the first sword and cut off the first tail of the fox demon. When the fox demon was about to grab Zhao Jinghua with its left claw, Wan Sutong swung her long whip and entangled the fox demon's left claw. She used her spiritual power to tighten the long whip and the snake scales pierced deeply into the fox demon's fur. The fox demon screamed in pain and swung its claws hard to try to shake off the long whip.

Seeing the opportunity, Zhao Jinghua swung his sword and cut off all the fox tails. After a while, he jumped up and landed on the fox demon's head. He injected all his spiritual power into the Suihua sword, and then stabbed the fox demon's crown with the sword. The fox demon was in excruciating pain and wanted to howl, but Zhao Jinghua put a silencing spell on it.

Zhao Jinghua jumped down from the top of the fox demon's head and returned to Wan Sutong's side, while the Suihua sword was still stuck in the fox demon's crown. Not long after, the fox demon fell to the ground and began to twitch, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of its mouth.

Seeing this, Wan Sutong released the fox demon's claws and put the long whip into the spiritual sea.

"Thank you." Zhao Jinghua's gentle tone made Wan Sutong feel at ease in this tense atmosphere.

Wan Sutong looked up at Zhao Jinghua but froze in the next moment. In the moonlight, she saw Zhao Jinghua's silver hair was scattered behind him, and his pupils were no longer the royal blue they used to be but blood red, which was very creepy. Wan Sutong took a step back and was about to fall to the ground when Zhao Jinghua pulled her back.

Zhao Jinghua turned his head and lowered his eyes slightly, with a guilty tone, "I'm sorry, I know I have a hideous face, so I didn't dare to let you, Su Tong, see it...but I didn't want..." Zhao Jinghua hesitated and took back the hand that was supporting Wan Su Tong, then turned around and didn't dare to let Wan Su Tong see his pupils again

Wan Sutong stared blankly at Zhao Jinghua's back. Even when 0533 kept waving in front of her, Wan Sutong didn't come back to her senses. 0533 came to sit on Zhao Jinghua's shoulder and said, "It's over. The host was a little stupid when she just came out of isolation. This time she really scared you silly."

Zhao Jinghua lowered his eyes and sighed, then helped Wan Sutong back to the house and helped her sit on the couch. Zhao Jinghua turned around and left without saying a word.

Wan Sutong shook her head vigorously at this time, looked at Zhao Jinghua's lonely back, and quickly stepped forward to hug Zhao Jinghua's waist, "Jinghua! Don't go!"

Zhao Jinghua stood there for a moment, then patted Wan Sutong's hand in a soft voice and said, "I'll have someone deal with the fox demon. I won't leave."

"Can you turn around so I can see you?" Wan Sutong said as she tried to move to Zhao Jinghua's side, but Zhao Jinghua dodged her and left Wan Sutong with a cold back view again.

When Zhao Jinghua spoke again, his voice was trembling, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Wan Sutong hugged Zhao Jinghua's waist tightly and said angrily, "I was afraid that you would leave me! Jinghua, you didn't get rid of the Linglong Gu? Why? Don't you trust me?"

Zhao Jinghua raised his hand and held Wan Sutong's hand on his abdomen. "Sutong... Gu Song told me the day he entered the palace... This Linglong Gu not only has insects, but is also poisonous."

Wan Sutong shook her head and slowly raised her voice, "But can't the technique you practice dispel any poison?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and clenched Wan Sutong's hand, but did not answer her question. After a while, Zhao Jinghua spoke again with a hoarse voice, "Sutong, I know I shouldn't keep you by my side. Maybe I should say something cruel, saying that I approached you just for this Linglong Gu, that I have never liked you, and that the four years have been my hypocrisy. But I can't bear to see you sad, but if I die..." At this point, Zhao Jinghua sighed heavily, "I am still struggling now or in the past, I... maybe I shouldn't tell you my true feelings... Sutong, I regret it, I regret not being able to bury this love in my heart, I regret keeping you by my side knowing this." As soon as Zhao Jinghua finished speaking, he heard a sob and felt the clothes on his back wet with tears. Zhao Jinghua gradually loosened his grip on Wan Sutong's hand, "Sutong... I know you don't love me yet... Before I enter your heart, forget me."

Wan Sutong clenched his fists and punched Zhao Jinghua's abdomen. "You bastard! It was you who provoked me first! And you let me go!" Wan Sutong was a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage at this time. Even if he didn't use his spiritual power, the power of his fists was seven times that of an adult man.

Zhao Jinghua frowned slightly and let Wan Sutong hit his abdomen without saying a word.

0533 At this time, I could see the pain in Zhao Jinghua's heart. "Su..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Jinghua slightly shaking his head. Then Zhao Jinghua's voice came from the space, "It's okay" with a tone full of regret and remorse.

0533 looked at the two people in front of the screen and sighed. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and thought to himself, "The previous hosts were all emperors, and they were surrounded by beautiful women. This system has never seen a man as infatuated as him."

Zhao Jinghua was already weak at this time. He had just killed the fox demon with great effort, and was beaten by Wan Sutong. He felt a sweet and fishy taste in his throat. Zhao Jinghua closed his eyes and swallowed the blood in his throat. "Sutong, all the mistakes are mine. You can hit me or scold me, but you must know... I am not worthy of your sadness." After saying this, Zhao Jinghua took off the white jade ring on his index finger and placed it in the palm of Wan Sutong's hand. "It contains all my belongings. If you exchange them for points, it should be a lot."

Wan Sutong tightly grasped the ring and said in a low voice, "What is this? Is this a breakup fee from the Crown Prince? Or is he trying to get me out of here?"

Zhao Jinghua smiled bitterly and a tear fell on the back of Wan Sutong's hand. "If I die, no one can take me out of the Spirit Sea. The only people I trust are you and Xu Fengming. He always joked about inheriting my estate. I thought it should be the house deeds, gold, silver, jewelry, rewards from previous years, and everything in my Spirit Sea. If you don't like it, just give it to him."

After hearing this, Wan Sutong burst into tears with a trembling voice, "You are so good to me, I will feel guilty! I can't watch you die alone!"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and spoke slowly, "Don't worry, I will hold on until the army returns to the capital. With my father here, my brothers will have to kneel beside my bed before I die, even if they don't want to. If I want, I can let someone be buried with me. Why don't you choose someone for me, Su Tong?" Zhao Jinghua's tone was soft and there was a smile at the end.

After hearing this, Wan Sutong slapped Zhao Jinghua's abdomen with her right hand and said, "Do you think this is funny? You are still teasing me at this time!"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and patted the back of Wan Sutong's hand with his left hand. "Go back, it will be dawn soon."
