I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 461: Was he a lawyer before?
"Oh?" Feng Xue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. In fact, if Xiao Lingdang hadn't mentioned it, Feng Xue would have even forgotten about the two of them.

After all, the entire city of 1744 has been completely sealed off by nanounits. Even if someone leaves the city, he will know immediately. He is not afraid that these two will escape.

But if they come to us on their own initiative, that's a different story!
"Let them come."

Feng Xue gave the order, and soon, two bald monks, who were a little thinner than before (the swelling had gone down), walked in. Feng Xue didn't bother with formalities and said directly:
"If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Guizhen and Guishan exchanged a glance, and then Guizhen spoke:

"Your Majesty, the main reason I've come to bother you today is to introduce you to a ghost..."

At this point, Guizhen, seemingly afraid of being misunderstood by Feng Xue, added without even daring to breathe:
“It’s not that we’ve received any benefits, but we’ve noticed that you’ve been preaching these past few days, and this ghost seems to be interested in what you’re preaching. It also has some special background, so we thought you might want to meet it.”

"Oh, interesting." Feng Xue's lips curled up slightly, her tone playful.

"Tell me, what's the background?"

"He is an emissary of some ghost king." Gui Zhen said, his voice quickening slightly with nervousness, as if afraid Feng Xue would kill him before she even heard the important part—

"As you know, City 1744 was just cleared out, so there are naturally no Ghost Kings around it. And there's not much profit in such a city, so powerful figures won't come to plunder it, and Buddhist black hands won't come to open a black market. Those shrewd Ghost Kings who have evaded several clearings will often send some of their subordinates into such places to scout out the locations. At the same time, they will also exchange information with the subordinates of other Ghost Kings to confirm the resources in everyone's hands, so as to facilitate subsequent transactions. After all, the longer a black market exists, the greater the possibility of it having Buddhist traces. Therefore, most veteran Ghost Kings tend to constantly look for new trading venues."

"So, this ghost that wanted to see me had already scouted the place before I did?"

Feng Xue asked this question, but she didn't believe it at all. Although he had sealed off the entire 1744th branch city with nano-units, nano-units were not something that could be seen with the naked eye. With the abilities of the ghosts and monsters in this world, they couldn't observe them at all. If he had discovered a powerful figure, his first reaction would have been to leave the city and report to his boss, not to come to him first.

But the result was that the nanounits did not detect any ghost trying to leave.

Although Gui Zhen didn't realize Feng Xue's suspicion, he knew very well that he had to make things clear at this time, so he immediately nodded and said:
“That’s right. He originally planned to set up a black market framework first, but he’s more interested in the cultivation method you’re explaining than the black market, so he plans to talk to you about it.”

"Is that so?" Feng Xue pondered for a moment. Although he wondered why the other party hadn't taken the cultivation technique out first before coming to find him, he still nodded.
"Where is he? Bring him here."

“We didn’t dare bring him to see you, but he’s in the south of the city. As long as your…” Gui Zhen suddenly shrank back, glanced at Fina, and didn’t dare utter the rest of the words. But Feng Xue already understood his meaning and nodded.

"Little Bell, call the person over here."

"Good host!"

Finding people is also part of Xiaolingdang's job. With the directions provided by the two monks, she locked onto the target in a few seconds. About a minute later, a young ghost who looked not very old appeared in front of Feng Xue.

However, at this moment, Feng Xue's attention was entirely focused on his left arm.

because……

That's a robotic arm!

"Do you even burn prosthetic limbs as paper money in your hometown?" Feng Xue wasn't one to hide anything; since the other person needed his help, he simply asked. The young man's expression twitched slightly, but he still explained:

“Your Majesty, my hand is a materialization phenomenon caused by absorbing the willpower of objects.”

As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Guizhen and Guishan, with an expression that said, "How could the Ghost King's husband not even know such a thing?"

But Guizhen and Guishan had no courage to explain to him at this moment. They kept their eyes down and looked like wooden or clay sculptures.

Feng Xue watched the interaction between the ghosts with amusement, but she was not entirely unfamiliar with the phenomenon of objectification.

To put it bluntly, it's still the same old story about the toxicity of willpower.

However, compared to the poison of faith, this situation is more proactive. Nowadays, in the underworld, the only things with the power of vows, besides the ghosts themselves, are the items burned down from the human world.

These items embody the idea of ​​"hoping that our ancestors could use them," and thus are naturally endowed with the attributes of objects. When living souls actively absorb them, the problems are naturally significant.

However, Feng Xue had several solutions for this situation. Whether it was directly pulling it out and burning it (or making a big explosion) like in magic, filtering it with Ghidorah, or simply throwing it to Heart Candle, all of these could solve the problem.

Feeling confident, Feng Xue's smile grew even more amiable. He then noticed a slight flicker in his mind's eye and said:
"The method of 'Heart Candle' that I cultivate is the Great Way of Refining the Heart. As long as one settles down one's true nature and eliminates confusion, one can completely burn away the impurities in one's will, and there will be no material pollution. Naturally, one will not know what is going on with you."

Having said that, the candle flame, representing "peace of mind," flickered, and a warm feeling, yet seemingly containing the grandeur of heaven and earth, swept through the young man's heart.

The oppressive aura of that moment almost made the young man kneel, but after it vanished in an instant, all that remained for him was the relief of escaping death and an unprecedented sense of ease...

No, that's not right, this ease is not an illusion!

The young man looked at his already mechanized arm and was momentarily stunned, because the arm, which had been completely mechanized, now had a bit more flesh color!

That was not dyeing, nor was it forcibly covering with the power of will in the direction of flesh and blood, but rather, it was the true burning away of a part of the nature of will!
Pfft!
The young man, who had initially maintained a somewhat composed demeanor, knelt down with a resolute air as if he were about to smash his knees, and said sincerely:
"Please allow me to learn from you. If possible, I would like to represent my master and receive the techniques you have taught me!"

Although Feng Xue should have been offering some conditions, he didn't. Instead, he calmly nodded and said:
"It was brought out to spread, so if you want to learn, then go ahead and learn. As for your master... if you are willing to sign a spiritual pact guaranteeing not to reveal anything about this place, I can let you leave."

"If it's just about keeping it a secret, I can accept it!" The young man kowtowed again decisively, and Feng Xue also showed a satisfied smile. With a flick of her finger, a spiritual contract formed entirely of willpower appeared.

only……

"This!" The young man stared at the densely packed details of the spirit contracts, so numerous that a single glance was enough to send chills down his spine, and a thought involuntarily formed in his mind—

"Was this King Consort perhaps a lawyer in his lifetime?"
