3018 Little Ghosts
“I’m sorry…” The Mayor lowered his head in shame.
“It’s fine. We are going back to sleep for a while longer.” Feng Jiu said, then she turned and went back into her room without saying anything.
Wanyan Shisan took a look at the Mayor, then he also turned and walked into his room.
The next day, the two of them left at dawn and headed for the small village at the foot of Shadow Mountain. As they walked along the path, Wanyan Shisan looked at Feng Jiu and asked: “Little girl, who exactly are you?”
!!
The two of them had been travelling together for a few days, but he didn’t know anything about her other than her name was Feng Jiu, she was a girl and she was sworn sisters with Wanyan Qianhua. He didn’t know anything else.
“What? Are you trying to find out about my background?” Feng Jiu smiled and glanced at him sideways.
“Hehe, what use is it to me to find out about your background? I just thought that although you are a little girl, you are quite capable, so I wondered where you’ve come from.”
“I just arrived here not long ago, I came down from the Immortal Ascension Ladder.” Feng Jiu replied, then she took two fruits out and threw one to him.
Wanyan Shisan was slightly surprised after he caught the fruit: “You came down from the Immortal Ascension Ladder? That’s not easy! No one took you?”
“No!” She shook her head. It was not impossible for the people over here to find means to bring their families up if they wanted to. But if they had no one to take them up, then they could only go up by themselves after their strength had reached the Immortal Emperor level.
Therefore, when she said that she had gone up by herself, Wanyan Shisan looked at her in surprise. If she hadn’t said it, he wouldn’t have known that she had already reached the level of Immortal Emperor.
However, as he looked at her now, he could tell that her strength was higher than Immortal Emperor.
“Tsk tsk, impressive, I couldn’t tell at all.” He stared at Feng Jiu, then he grinned and said: “Then do you have a sweetheart? If you don’t, Uncle can introduce someone to you. Our Wanyan Family Clan is known for producing handsome men and beautiful women.”
Feng Jiu didn’t speak but just glanced at him half-smiling.
“Look at that look in your eyes. What? Am I not handsome? Am I not elegant? Am I not a man?” Wanyan Shisan snorted lightly and said: “I’m telling you, I am a burly and masculine man, and there is no comparison to the ordinary little white faces. Everyone in our Wanyan Family Clan is like me, and all the women are as beautiful as flowers. Of course, ones like Qianhua are rare.”
While he spoke, he took a bite of the fruit and said: “Spirit fruit? It seems that little girl has been hiding a lot of good things.”
“Look ahead.” Feng Jiu motioned, her eyes fell to the front.
Under the clear blue sky in broad daylight, there were a few four or five year old children playing on the path. The laughter of those children drifted over and the figures of the children leaped as they chased each other on the path.
They seemed to be children from ordinary families, but if one looked closely, one would see that though the sun was shining brightly now, there were no shadows of those children on the path. Even though they were playing and chasing each other, their heels didn’t touch the ground.
“Little ghosts?”
Wanyan Shisan was slightly surprised and he looked up at the bright sun in the sky. How did the little ghosts dare to come out to play under the scorching sun? He strode forward, and when the little ghosts saw him approaching aggressively, they screamed and fled immediately.
Feng Jiu followed behind, she felt that this place was really strange. They should be still quite some distance away from Shadow Mountain, but they had already encountered such a situation. Logically speaking, those things shouldn’t be able to appear in broad daylight, unless those ghosts had already cultivated to the point where they were not afraid of the sun.
