Luo Shiyu closed his eyes and pretended to be dizzy, allowing a group of paper figures to carry him forward.

[I almost fell asleep from the shaking.]

"crunch-"

[The sound of a door opening?]

After walking for a while, I heard singing and dancing.

[This ghost is living a very comfortable life.]

The singing and dancing around him suddenly stopped, and the paper figures holding him up took a few steps, and suddenly there was nothing underneath them.

Luo Shiyu was caught off guard and sat down on the ground.

"Ouch! Can't you be a little gentler? Will you kill me if you put me on the ground gently?" He complained and rubbed his swollen butt. "Hiss~ah~ my butt is broken into four pieces."

"You...are pretending to be unconscious?"

Luo Shiyu looked over and saw a man wearing an official uniform with a red patch standing next to him.

She smiled foolishly at him and said, "If I said that you woke me up, would you believe me?"

"Do you think I'm an ignorant child?" (In ancient times, children aged 2-3 were referred to as children.)

Luo Shiyu stood up from the ground and prepared to fight.

"So what? Wanna fight?"

The ghost waved his sleeves and said, "I won't eat you, please go away."

Luo Shiyi thought he had misheard: "Huh??? You let me go?"

"I don't like stupid people, as they can easily affect my intelligence."

"what???"

Xiao Hei: “I was scolded!”

Xiaobai: "That's a very ugly curse."

"How dare you call me stupid?" Luo Shiyu raised his leg and kicked him in the head.

The man raised his hand and a barrier appeared to block it.

"This is my ghostland. I created everything. How can you hurt me?"

Luo Shiyu clapped his hands: "You reminded me. Ghostland, right? Everyone doesn't have it! Close the door and let Xiao Hei out!"

Xiao Hei came out of the necklace, carrying a sickle and was about to fight.

The man bowed to her and said respectfully, "I am Chen Yiluo, and I pay my respects to the Master Ghost Envoy."

He made a gesture of invitation to the host: "Please take a seat, sir."

"Clang!" The sound startled Little Black so much that his sickle fell down.

Xiao Hei: "Ah??? Not fighting?"

Chen Yiluo: "I don't like fighting."

Luo Shiyu: "Then why did you attack the first city?"

Chen Yiluo: "I was ordered to do this, and I didn't do anything, did I?"

"It seems to make sense." Luo Shiyu passed him and sat in the main seat. Xiao Hei followed silently and stood behind him.

Chen Yiluo bowed to Luo Shiyu, who was sitting at the main seat, and said, "May I know the name of this gentleman?"

"Luo Shiyu."

"It turns out to be Lord Luo."

"Humph, that's not what you said to me just now. You were talking about a stupid person."

"I am blind to the truth. I believe that Lord Luo, with his prime minister's tolerance, will not bother with me."

Luo Shiyu's nose was almost turned up to the sky, and he said: "Humph! Of course."

He picked up a peach on the table and was about to eat it when Chen Yiluo stopped him.

"Wait a minute, sir, you can't eat this!"

"What's wrong? Are you feeling bad for eating a peach from you?"

"This is a sacrificial fruit, something for the dead to eat. Living people can't eat it!"

Luo Shiyu looked at Xiao Hei with half belief and half doubt, and only put down the fruit in his hand after she nodded.

Chen Yiluo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the fruit being put down.

【This guy doesn't seem bad. 】

She took the initiative to talk to him and said, "Chen Yiluo, how did you die?"

"I was framed and died." Fearing that Luo Shiyu might misunderstand, he added, "I am a kind spirit."

"I see." Luo Shiyu patted the seat next to him, motioning Chen Yiluo to sit over, and said gossipingly, "Come on, tell me your story."

Chen Yiluo sat down and began to tell Luo Shiyu: "I was the runner-up that year."

"Just the runner-up?"

"Yes, because my family is poor and I can't afford the bribe, so I only got the second place."

"Second place is not bad either."

"I felt the same way. After returning home, I was appointed a county magistrate and married a beautiful wife. Life was quite comfortable. But I've loved reading since I was young, and I spend more time with books than with my wife." (The runner-up in the imperial examination was usually awarded the position of editor in the Hanlin Academy (rank 7). Sometimes, they were sent to serve as county magistrates, but this was rare.)

"Hmm, what next?"

Chen Yiluo lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, continuing, "My wife thought my obsession with books was boring, so she and her lover poisoned me to death."

"and then?"

"Gone."

"Gone???" Luo Shiyu stood up and clapped his hands in frustration. "You've become a ghost, what about revenge? Don't you think your death was unfair?"

"If I wasn't so boring, she wouldn't have come to this point. It's not her fault."

[She colluded with her lover to kill you, and you're still trying to make excuses for her?]

Luo Shiyu opened his mouth but swallowed the curse words.

"Okay, okay, she's really lucky to have you."

"Your Excellency seems to be angry?"

"Aren't you quite good at reading people's expressions? How come you can't tell she has other intentions towards you?"

"She is my wife..."

Luo Shiyu stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Stop! Don't say anymore."

[If I continue to listen to you, I will be so angry that I will die.]

Suddenly remembering the purpose of his visit, he said to Chen Yiluo, "By the way, I want to ask you something."

"Sir, please speak."

"Can you withdraw your troops?"

Chen Yiluo readily agreed: "Okay."

"So refreshing?"

"I don't like fighting to begin with, but I had no choice but to accept this position. Besides, my goal has been achieved."

"What purpose?"

"Exploring the path."

"Does this mean that there will be waves of ghosts attacking us later?"

"Yes."

Luo Shiyu suddenly sat down on Chen Yi's chair and stroked his hand. He put his arm around his shoulder like a good brother and leaned in closer, saying, "Let's discuss something!"

"Sir, please speak."

"Can you please not attack the second, third, fourth, ninth, seventeenth, and twenty-third cities?"

Chen Yiluo said with an embarrassed look on his face, "This... I don't have the final say."

"How about we take a step back and let me know when you're going to attack these six cities?"

"What's the difference between this and a traitor?"

Luo Shiyu began to brainwash him: "How can you call him a traitor? Listen to me! We have already exchanged names, so we are friends. When a friend is in trouble, as a brother, all you have to do is tip off the friend and save his life. This is a favor!"

"this…"

"Hey~ And look! I'm commanding a demon. If you attack where I am, you'll lose countless demons! Isn't it better to be peaceful? Right?"

"Right."

"So? If there's danger, should I give it to my buddy..."

"As much as I try, I may not know all the news."

Luo Shiyu nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "I know, good brother."

[Got it! The nerd is really easy to handle.]
