Chapter 195 The Ghost King's Weakness

The boy was clearly very weak. He was being dragged and fell to the ground. His long, dark hair covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Divine Physician, we will take our leave now."

Lian Sheng was clearly unhappy with their actions, but there was nothing she could do. She could only wave them away.

Lian Sheng stepped forward to take his pulse, but the boy dodged her. He shrank back, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Yun Fuzhao said, "I guess they're scared after being beaten."

Lian Sheng frowned. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you. I just want to check your injuries. I'm a doctor, and doctors have a compassionate heart."

Upon hearing this, the boy cautiously raised his head, revealing a fair and beautiful face under the light.

He seemed to be trying to decipher Lian Sheng's words. After a while, he mustered up his courage and stretched out his arm.

Old scars remain on it.

"Miss Yun, please say something to comfort him."

Yun Fuzhao exclaimed "Ah!" and pointed to himself, "Me?"

"Yes. Relatively speaking, women are more likely to make people lower their guard."

Lian Sheng skillfully took his pulse.

Yun Fuzhao walked to his side, scratched her head, unsure how to comfort him. After a long while, she spoke: "A hunter shot a fox with his rifle, but the hunter ended up dying. Do you know why?"

The demon boy was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because this is a reflective fox."

Young man, Lian Sheng: "..."

Lian Sheng withdrew her hand. "It's nothing serious, just a bit weak."

Actually, this was the first time Lian Sheng had taken the pulse of a ghost. He didn't know much about this race, and their pulse was very different from that of cultivators.

He could only make some simple judgments.

Lian Sheng asked, "What's your name?"

The young ghost said softly, "Yu Che."

"I cannot sense your cultivation level. Are you capable of cultivation?"

As if a sore spot had been touched, Yu Che's hands, resting on his knees, tightened little by little. "They destroyed my cultivation..."

This situation sounds somewhat similar to Que Chi's. Seriously, are all the Ghost Clan members this miserable?

“Why don’t you talk to your Ghost King about this?” Yun Fuzhao suggested. “Given his personality, he shouldn’t allow his people to be humiliated like this.”

Yu Che looked at her, his eyes clear and bright, like a blank sheet of paper. "If I were to speak to the Ghost Lord, I would be killed."

"why?"

"I was captured and sold by humans, which has already brought shame to the ghost realm. The Ghost Lord hates useless people the most..."

Hearing him say that, Yun Fuzhao nodded, as if it were something a ghost lord would do.

Que Chi had mentioned more than once that the Ghost Lord was a thoroughly evil person, a monster with a human face but a beast's heart. Being targeted by him would never end well.

Lian Sheng asked gently, "Have you decided where you're going?"

Yu Che was stunned. "Does Your Excellency mean..."

I will set you free.

Seemingly surprised by his words, Yu Che remained silent for a good ten seconds. "I have nowhere I want to go, please, sir, let me stay."

Lian Sheng shook his head, "I often travel around and have a bad memory, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take you in."

Upon hearing this, Yu Che turned his gaze to Yun Fuzhao. He crawled a few steps on his knees, the chains around his neck jingling. He looked up at Yun Fuzhao, his fingers gently tugging at the hem of her dress, his eyes slightly red. "Please, sir, take me in. I'll do anything you ask."

Yun Fuzhao was almost speechless when he saw his pitiful eyes.

Like a homeless puppy.

But there's no point in her taking him in. He has no cultivation and is a ghost. What if he causes her trouble?

So Yun Fuzhao began to refuse, "I..."

Unexpectedly, Yu Che seemed to have anticipated Yun Fuzhao's thoughts, and he quickly said, "If you are willing to take me in, I can tell you the secret of the Ghost King."

Yun Fuzhao became interested. "What secret?"

Is there a secret that Que Chi doesn't know?

"I'll tell you if you're willing to let me stay."

On the other hand, what business is it of Yun Fuzhao that Yun Chao took in the ghosts in the Northern Continent? If the Ghost Realm wants to settle scores, they can't hold the Boundless Sword Sect accountable.

So Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Alright."

Yu Che's eyes lit up. "Thank you, sir."

"Now can you tell me what the Ghost King's secret is?"

"The Ghost King has a fatal weakness: if he does not drink fresh blood for seven days, he will become extremely weak."

This is very useful information.

If we face him in the future, we can use this weakness to defeat him.

Yun Fuzhao squatted down to look him in the eye and reached out to his neck.

Yu Che's body suddenly tensed up, his eyelashes trembled slightly with unease. He was very scared, but he still didn't flinch.

He closed his eyes subconsciously.

"Click."

Yu Che opened his eyes.

Yun Fuzhao held the broken black collar in his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, now you're mine."

Yu Che stared at her blankly.

Lian Sheng said gently, "The next item will be served soon."

Yun Fuzhao sat back down.

"Please be more lenient with this young man in the future."

Lian Sheng looked at her, "How is Miss Yun's favor attributed to me?"

“How could that be?” Yun Fuzhao said, “I was just afraid he might accidentally die. You’re a miracle worker, so it’s always good to ask you for help.”

Lian Sheng laughed.

Yu Che realized what was happening and slowly moved to Yun Fuzhao's side, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and quietly watched her.

Unfortunately, there were no chalcedony mushrooms at this auction. It seems she'll have to make a trip to Linglu Mountain instead.

Otherwise, this trip would have been in vain.

Yun Fuzhao casually bought a courtyard house near Tianshan Mountain and settled Yu Che there.

She'll probably be coming to the Northern Continent often in the future, so having a place to stay will be more convenient.

Just as Yun Fuzhao was about to set off for Linglu Mountain, the nameless family suddenly notified her to report for duty.

As far as she knew, the nameless family didn't even have a teacher, so what difference did it make whether she reported for duty or not? Originally, she only wanted to be a nominal disciple.

After a moment's thought, Yun Fuzhao still went.

Hu Zhiyuan, the patriarch of the nameless family, scrutinized her with a critical gaze. "What is your relationship with the Yuchi family?"

"Friend, we haven't known each other for long."

Hu Zhiyuan nodded, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "I don't know if you know anything about our family. After joining our family, you must pay one hundred high-grade spirit stones."

One hundred high-grade spirit stones? Why doesn't he just rob them?

"May I ask, clan leader, what is the purpose of these spirit stones...?"

Hu Zhiyuan said impatiently, "Naturally, it's for the cost of your cultivation here. Otherwise, how could trash like you enter a prestigious family? Do you really think our nameless family is doing charity?"

Cultivation? When Yun Fuzhao visited before, he didn't even see the basic cultivation facilities.

"No." Yun Fuzhao crossed his arms. "I have no spirit stones, but you can take my life."
