Chapter 36, Empress You
Chapter 36, Empress You
Su Ming got up to cultivate on the sofa when a cold wind suddenly blew around him. The balcony door was closed, so there was no way the wind could have blown in, and the curtains showed no signs of being moved, but he still felt a cold wind.
Su Ming shivered and stood up to survey his surroundings.
Damn, could there really be a ghost?
The lights are normal, the visibility is normal, there shouldn't be any ghosts, right?
Su Ming felt he had overreacted. Maybe it was because he had taken a cold shower. He sat down again, stopped watching videos, and prepared to cultivate.
A gust of cold wind blew past his neck from behind. Su Ming suddenly turned around and saw a person appear out of thin air under the lamplight.
Like women of ancient times, she had a delicate face and an elegant upper body, but her lower body was empty and lacked substance.
Damn, it's a real ghost.
Su Ming jumped up instantly, and a star track appeared in his hand.
Mind Control - Virtual Claw.
Whether you're a ghost or something else, let's see if you can stand up again after taking a spell.
Su Ming manipulated the phantom claw to grab at the woman's head. The magic was indeed released, but Su Ming did not feel that he had grabbed anything.
Depend on.
He looked up and saw the woman smiling at him. Her eyes were pure black, alluring and sinister like a cat demon.
Su Ming felt a dizzying sensation as soon as he glanced at it, and his consciousness was pulled into a strange space.
In this incredibly luxurious ancient palace, Su Ming serves as a sword-wielding guard.
He was surrounded by soldiers who had committed suicide, and the eyes of the peerless woman, which were wide open in death, were staring at him. There was a faint, almost invisible bloodstain on the woman's neck.
Su Ming's gaze pierced through the woman; the boundless earth was littered with corpses—infants, women, and even those dressed in battle robes.
A dazzling figure, too radiant to look at directly, sat on a throne adorned with blood and bone.
The figure on the throne seemed to sense something; he turned his gaze, and the illusion shattered. Su Ming's consciousness fell into an endless vortex of darkness, unable to make a sound or move his body, only able to feel himself constantly falling...
Ring ring ring ring ring...!
A series of rapid sounds startled Su Ming.
That voice sounds so familiar, who is it?
who!!!!!!
"Little one, you're amazing." The woman smiled leisurely, looking at Xiao Qing with admiration in her pure black eyes.
Su Ming opened his eyes, his whole body drenched in sweat, still shaken. He mainly cultivated spatial summoning, and his mental power had reached the second level when he broke through to the intermediate mage level. He didn't expect to break through so easily.
Su Ming's mouth was dry, and he dared not look at the woman in front of him, asking hoarsely, "Who are you?"
The woman in front of me giggled, looking puzzled. "Yes, who am I?"
Suddenly, the woman seemed to sigh and said, "I am the Queen of the Nine Netherworlds."
"And who are you?"
"My name is Su Ming, an ordinary person." Su Ming raised his head slightly, still not looking into Jiuyouhou's eyes. He didn't know who Jiuyouhou was, only that this ghostly creature was extremely terrifying and beyond his ability to deal with.
Su Ming cursed the middle-aged man who rented his room a thousand times in his mind. Damn it, is this place haunted? Although it could be called a ghost in a certain sense, it's completely different.
This guy is a ghost, a kind of demon. Those people in the Magic Association are a bunch of idiots, letting such a powerful ghost stay in the city. Fortunately, this ghost didn't have any murderous intent and retained human consciousness, otherwise the ancient capital would definitely be engulfed in bloodshed.
"I don't believe it." Empress Jiuyou shook her head with a smile.
Su Ming suddenly panicked. "I didn't lie! It would be such a loss if I were killed like this!"
"My name is Su Ming."
"I know your name is Su Ming, I just don't believe you're an ordinary person."
"An ordinary magician is just an ordinary person, right?" Su Ming said softly. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
After Jiuyou, she didn't dwell on the matter. She pointed to the table and said, "I saw you had a pendant yesterday. Take it out and look at it. Just put it on the table."
Su Ming obediently took out the pendant, placed it on the table, and quickly moved away.
Could this ghost have come for the pendant?
After Jiuyou Hou bent down to observe, she did not touch the pendant. The pendant would glow as soon as Jiuyou Hou got a little close, but it would stay away when she was far away.
Su Ming closed his eyes and obediently knelt down. His legs were weak when he stood, and it was embarrassing to kneel. The kneeling posture commonly used by those who lived a comfortable life was perfect. He wondered if they had also encountered this situation and thus invented the kneeling posture.
When Jiuyou bent over, the large breasts in front of her trembled, her clothes were stretched, and a hint of spring was revealed. Although she was a ghost, her body was just like a human's. Su Ming felt that he could not take it and could only close his eyes.
"Um... Sister, is that pendant special?"
"Huh? Sister?" Empress Jiuyou suddenly sat up and burst into laughter, her ample bosom heaving violently like a giant jelly being slapped. "You actually... you actually called me sister? Do you even know that your sister is older than your ancestor's ancestor?"
He didn't feel ashamed at all. How could saving one's life be about saving face? Su Ming's eyes flickered, and he said seriously, "What's the big deal? My sister is a ghost. Ghosts are special life forms. Their age doesn't increase. You can't compare them to humans, right? In my opinion, my sister will always be eighteen years old."
"The little one speaks so sweetly. I don't know how long it's been since I've heard anyone call me 'sister'." Jiuyou stopped smiling, but still had a smile on her face.
She stopped looking at the pendant and instead stared at Su Ming, making him feel uneasy.
Oh no, this female ghost ancestor probably thinks he's handsome and wants to kidnap him to be her lover, but he's powerless to resist.
The more Su Ming thought about it, the more likely it seemed. After all, he was too handsome, so it wouldn't be surprising if the female ghost had such thoughts. After all, she retained human consciousness; she was a ghost in terms of cognition, but her actual thinking was the same as a human's.
He had to change the subject. "Sister, do you see anything special about this pendant?"
As expected, Jiuyou was drawn to the pendant. She thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No, it's just an ordinary pendant. Perhaps it was crafted by a powerful light mage, which is why it emitted holy light to protect itself from dark creatures."
What the heck? This pendant is a bit inhuman, especially since it was made by some kind of light magician. It ruined his plan to give the pendant to this ghost and build a good relationship with him.
If a pendant isn't an option, what else can I give? Xiaoqing is cute, but she might not like it. Is sacrificing my own beauty the only way?
Su Ming sighed inwardly. If things really developed to that point, he would have no choice but to compromise and focus on surviving first.
Now Su Ming understood why the previous tenants had been pale and listless; living with such a vixen for five days would surely make them pale as well.
Su Ming swallowed hard. The ghost probably couldn't do *that*, right?
"What are you thinking about?" Jiuyouhou suddenly asked.
"Oh, I was wondering why my sister is so beautiful," Su Ming answered honestly.
"Alright, alright, no need for flattery. Stand up and speak first. What kind of behavior is this, kneeling like that? You've completely disgraced men." Jiuyou said with some disdain when she saw Su Ming kneeling. Su Ming's expression softened considerably after he stood up.
That's how it should be, why are you kneeling there?
Nine Netherworld Queen didn't understand at all that she was owed this. But was he kneeling? No, absolutely not. Su Ming felt he had to save face, so he reminded her, "Sister, this isn't kneeling, it's kneeling. There's a difference between the two. There's an island nation in the East China Sea where they sit in this kneeling posture."
Upon hearing this, Jiuyou looked disgusted. "What kind of godforsaken place is this? We have to kneel down and talk all the time. Don't ever say things like that to me again. It's disgusting to hear. Don't do anything like that when you go abroad, or I'll destroy you. You're a disgrace."
Hmm, this ghost is probably quite old. People in ancient times had strong beliefs and couldn't accept the idea of kneeling.
But didn't people in ancient times like to kneel before emperors?
Why can't people accept kneeling when they have to kneel every day?
Unable to understand, Su Ming realized that the ancestors' way of thinking was quite unique. He didn't force himself to understand their way of thinking, after all, he didn't live in ancient times.
Moreover, after hearing Jiuyou's words, he realized that his life was no longer in danger. That was good, that was good.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he dare to look at Jiuyou.
It has to be said that, from a human aesthetic point of view, the Queen of the Netherworld is truly amazing. Ghosts inherit their appearance from their previous life, but I don't know what the Queen of the Netherworld ate to grow up. She is so big yet so firm.
No, no, I can't think about this. If they find out, I'll be dead.
