Gu Shijiu's face showed a look of sudden realization: "No wonder you like to carry a fan and are used to European table manners."

Shi Qi was amused by her constant digressions, while the Ghost King continued speaking expressionlessly.

"But I never expected that the one who woke up was not Manman at all; perhaps her soul had disappeared a thousand years ago."

You're nothing but a usurper, a fake. Since that's the case, keeping you around is useless—"

A black mist appeared in the Ghost King's hand, and Gu Shijiu quickly jumped away: "You're so despicable, you suddenly attacked."

"Ha, do you know why I lured you to absorb my energy yesterday?"

The Ghost King didn't argue with her about right or wrong, but instead wore a smug smile: "My energy isn't so easy to use."

After saying that, he immediately made contact with the energy ball, trying to coordinate an attack from the inside.

Knowing how formidable Gu Shijiu was, the Ghost King was also apprehensive about facing her, so he decided to poison her first.

Gu Shijiu was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed; no wonder it hurt for so long yesterday.

Thinking of this, she didn't even have time to grab a suitable weapon before throwing a punch at the Ghost King.

Unable to dodge in time, the Ghost King was struck, his human form was shattered, and a black cloud appeared inside the tin-roofed house.

"How is this possible? Where is my energy?" The Ghost King was unable to recall the energy that Gu Shijiu had swallowed.

"You're so stingy, taking back what you gave away."

Gu Shijiu took the rolling pin that Shi Qi had just enchanted and rushed towards the black mist, swinging the rolling pin at the black mist.

However, the Ghost King's energy level was very high, so Shi Qi's gentle persuasion had no effect.

Gu Shijiu used his right hand to control the black mist, preventing it from spreading outwards.

Holding a rolling pin in her left hand, she forcefully struck the center of the black fog, looking somewhat like a working woman washing clothes by the river.

Gu Shijiu learned this from watching TV.

Although she doesn't know how to wash clothes, she imitates the movements quite well.

The Ghost King was severely injured and soon began to beg for mercy: "I know the way to immortality, which you don't need, but what about the human next to you?"

He's almost thirty years old. Spending so much time in a cemetery won't bring him long. Are you just going to watch him die in another ten years or so?"

The Ghost King put himself in Gu Shijiu's shoes and thought that Gu Shijiu would definitely follow the same path of no return.

Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu was too busy hitting him to budge.

The Ghost King unleashed his last strength, attempting to seduce Shi Qi in the same way he had seduce Su Mu.

"Young man, this zombie doesn't care about your life at all. Why don't I help you?"

As long as Shi Qi is moved, he can possess her body and then gradually erase the original owner's soul, just like Su Mu did before.

The Ghost King only mentioned Liu Yuling's concern for Shi Qi and Shi Qi's excellence, and Su Mu fell for it.

Shi Qi... of course didn't care: "You're always helping this and that, but did they ask for your help? What do you care when I die?"

Ghost King: I'm furious! What kind of lunatics are these?

This rolling pin really hurts when you hit a ghost.

Yesterday, the Ghost King sacrificed a large amount of energy to lure the enemy, and now he is no match for Gu Shijiu.

Amidst a series of roars, it vanished completely into the air, leaving behind only a pure black energy block.

Gu Shijiu plopped down on the ground, exhausted. "I'm so tired, my arms are sore."

Shi Qi resignedly massaged her arm.

The ghosts, who had been listening intently to any noise from the tin shack, scattered in terror, even more frightened than yesterday.

When will this fierce woman leave?

Gu Shijiu carefully put away the energy bars; she couldn't eat so many at once and planned to save them for later.

A sudden noise came from outside the door.

"Master, Grandmaster, Sect Leader Wang, Sect Leader Li... they are right here, everyone please be careful."

The speaker was an old man from the farmers' market. He was holding a compass, and the pointer stopped when it pointed to the cemetery.

The tin door was wide open, and a group of Taoist priests, all old men, stood outside.

Even though Gu Shijiu had a good temper, he was getting impatient. Was this ever going to end?

The two groups of people looked at each other in bewilderment. An old Taoist priest with white hair and beard spoke up: "Have you two seen the Ghost King?"

Gu Shijiu secretly reached into her pocket and touched a black energy cube: "What do you want with him?"

The old Taoist priest spoke gently: "The Ghost King has many lives on his hands, is quite malevolent, and is also good at seduction."

Since discovering his whereabouts, we have been trying to bring him to justice and restore order to the world.

According to the compass, the Ghost King's aura disappeared here. If either of you knows anything about this, please let us know.

“What if he’s already dead?” Shi Qi interjected.

"That would be best. I just wonder whose credit it was. It would be good if he could go to the government to receive the reward."

The old Taoist priest had already recognized Gu Shijiu as the zombie his disciple had mentioned, but upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't a flying zombie at all.

Gu Shijiu took out the energy block, thinking they were there to steal it: "The Ghost King is already like this, this is what I fought for, you can't take it from me."

Like a blacksmith, she hammered away, breaking down the Ghost King's consciousness, removing impurities, and solidifying the essence.

"We humans have no use for this. I just don't know what you need it for?"

The old Taoist priest's eyes twitched, and his voice trembled.

This energy block looks unremarkable, but it contains energy comparable to a nuclear weapon, and Gu Shijiu just held it in her hand.

"I'm saving it for food." It's immoral to steal food rations.

"Hehe, hehe." The old Taoist priest had nothing to say and led the group of Taoists away.

"Master, the Ghost King was just eliminated like that?"

I thought it would be a big battle, and I was prepared to sacrifice myself, but I didn't expect to be defeated so easily by others.

The Taoist priest who came with them felt a sense of unreality.

The old Taoist tapped him on the head: "The Ghost King's strength is unfathomable. If a fight breaks out, the area within a hundred miles will be affected."

Even if we had won, we would have suffered heavy losses; this is the best outcome we can hope for.

The old man leading the way pointed inside: "Grandmaster, that flying zombie—"

The old Taoist shook his head: "That's not a flying zombie. Flying zombies don't have it so easy against the Ghost King. In my opinion, it's probably... a drought demon."

"What is this?" This touched on an area where the old man's knowledge was lacking.

"The cultivation world is weak now, so it's normal that you don't know about it. Drought Demon is a figure from ancient legends."

It is said that Chi You created a large number of weapons, gathered many gods, and launched an attack on the Yellow Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor sent Yinglong to the wilderness of Jizhou to participate in the battle. Yinglong unleashed a massive flood to besiege Chiyou.

Chi You summoned the Wind God and the Rain Master, and Yinglong's army got lost in the raging wind and rain.

The Yellow Emperor then sent the celestial maiden Ba to participate in the battle. Ba was dressed in green and could emit extremely strong light and heat.

She arrived at the front lines and unleashed her divine power, instantly dispelling the wind, rain, and fog, allowing the Yellow Emperor to capture and kill Chi You.

Yinglong and Ba established extraordinary achievements, but they also lost their divine powers and could no longer return to heaven.

Yinglong remained in the south of the human world, and from then on, the south was abundant in water and rain; Ba's whereabouts were unpredictable, and wherever he went, there was a great drought.

I've reported this matter to the government; we'll discuss it later. Let's go now.
