3403 Lure the Two Ghosts

“Do you think there are people coming to be killed by us in such a remote place? We haven’t killed any humans, but we’ve killed many ghosts and animals,” the male ghost said, sounding defeated. If they encountered humans, they would really kill them. After all, everyone fought for their own benefits. Only by absorbing countless souls could their level increase.

Given the male ghost’s attitude, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t have any doubts.

“Then let’s stop! But you can’t leave. We need to talk,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She thought that these two ghosts had good skills and wanted to recruit them to work for her.

They were different from Leng Yan and the others. Even though Leng Yan and the others were powerful, they were still trapped in the ancient mansion, while these two ghosts could move freely.

It was mainly because she felt that these two ghosts weren’t wicked. She could tell whether they were good or bad.

If she really made a mistake, it wouldn’t be too late to deal with it later.

The male and female ghosts also agreed not to leave, so both sides stopped.

As for Li Mochen, he had no objections to any of Leng Xiaoyao’s actions.

“What do you want to talk about?” the female ghost asked. Although it was reluctant, it knew that even if they wanted to escape, they couldn’t. Therefore, she might as well listen to what Leng Xiaoyao wanted to say.

“Why did you fight just then?” Leng Xiaoyao asked curiously.

As soon as Leng Xiaoyao brought it up, the female ghost became angry. “It was him. He ate the wolf I caught. He said we were self-sufficient, but he didn’t keep his promise.”

“You caught two wolves. Can one person, oh no, one ghost eat them all?” The male ghost had no intention of admitting his mistake.

“Whether I can eat it or not is my business,” the female ghost said.

“Didn’t you steal my wild boar before?” The male ghost retorted.

“That was before. We agreed to be self-sufficient later,” the female ghost said angrily.

“I already ate it, can you make me spit it out? If I spit it out, will you eat it?” The male ghost asked.

“You…” The female ghost felt disgusted. It was disgusting that he could even think of that.

“Since he has already eaten it, why don’t you make him compensate you?” Leng Xiaoyao said. She felt that the male ghost wasn’t being honest, but this wasn’t an irreparable matter.

“Fine, fine, I’ll compensate you. Is that okay?” The male ghost knew that he was wrong and didn’t argue anymore.

Thus, the female ghost’s anger eased a bit.

“How long have you been dead?” Unexpectedly Leng Xiaoyao asked that question.

The two ghosts were stunned for a moment, then the male ghost said, “About three hundred years!”

“Did you know each other before you died or after you died?” Leng Xiaoyao asked again.

“We knew each other before we died. We were treated unfairly before we died, so we became ghosts,” the male ghost said. Even though three hundred years had passed since the accident, he still harbored resentment when he thought about their cause of death.

“Oh! Can you tell me your story?” Leng Xiaoyao asked, suddenly becoming interested in hearing a story.

“Why are you asking so many questions?” The female ghost asked unhappily. She didn’t want to bring it up.

“Just asking out of boredom! If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you,” Leng Xiaoyao said. Although she wanted to know, she had no intention of forcing them to talk about it.

“Since we’re bored anyway, we’ll tell you! Women really love gossip,” the male ghost said. In fact, he was also a little frustrated and wanted to vent to someone. For three hundred years, they had always been together and there was nothing left to say to each other.

Leng Xiaoyao didn’t mind the male ghost saying that women really loved gossip.

It turned out that the man’s name was Qin Miao and he was a general. The woman’s name was Song Qingling and she was junior to Qin Miao.

They had the same master. Qin Miao went on an expedition and his master sent Song Qingling to assist him.

Unexpectedly, this expedition was a trap set for Qin Miao because his fiancée had an affair with the fourth prince while Qin Miao was the third prince’s person. In order for them to be together smoothly and to get rid of a major problem, they set a trap for Qin Miao.

On the way to the expedition, they were stabbed by countless assassins and fell off a cliff.

They survived and figured out that it was a conspiracy. After they recovered from their injuries, they returned to the capital city to investigate and found out that they had been labeled as traitors. The third prince that Qin Miao served was also exiled because of that.

Qin Miao originally wanted to ask his fiancée for help, but unexpectedly she pretended to agree then informed the fourth prince. He and Song Qingling were caught afterwards a

nd were then imprisoned in a dungeon where they endured torture.

Only then did Qin Miao realize that everything was designed by them.

In the end, they couldn’t bear the torture and died.

Because of their deep grievances and resentment, they became ghosts after death and tortured Qin Miao’s fiancée and the fourth prince in return. They also helped the third prince return to the capital city and eventually ascend to the throne.

However, they still couldn’t let go of the fact that they were killed, and it still affected them when they brought it up today.

“So you don’t have any other plans besides wandering around like this?” asked Leng Xiaoyao. While their experiences were certainly sympathetic, it was something that happened three hundred years ago. She didn’t want to dwell on it any longer.

“What else can we do?” asked Qin Miao.

They were ghosts. Could they really live like humans?

“If you don’t want to fall into reincarnation, then find something interesting to do!” said Leng Xiaoyao.

“What interesting things?” asked Song Qingling curiously.

“Follow me. I’ll find some interesting things for you to do and take you to see some interesting things,” Leng Xiaoyao said with a hint of coercion.

Qin Miao and Song Qingling weren’t stupid. They knew what Leng Xiaoyao meant as soon as they heard her words.

“Huh! You want us to follow you and work for you, right? Don’t even think about it. We won’t be commanded by anyone.” Song Qingling immediately refused in a cold voice. She didn’t want to be used by anyone!

“That’s right. We are more suited to living freely like this,” Qin Miao said.

Leng Xiaoyao wasn’t disappointed by their refusal because she didn’t have to make them follow her. It was just the best option.

“I see, then forget it. Let’s find some high-level monsters and demons before returning to Guiyun. We need a stronger team because that’s the world of cultivators, where only the strong are respected. Even if we regain our abilities as cultivators, it’s still a disadvantage to fight with fewer people,” said Leng Xiaoyao. She originally said this just to say it in front of the two ghosts, but after saying it out loud, she realized it was a good idea.

This idea was suddenly born in Leng Xiaoyao’s mind. If only a few of them returned to Land Guiyun, they would definitely suffer a lot because they had too few people.
