Evil of all ages

Chapter 202 Shameless

"whoosh"

Although the eerie atmosphere made Nie Yang's scalp tingle, he was the commander of the Imperial Guards and he did not forget his duties.

In a flash
Appearing before His Majesty, he looked as if facing a formidable enemy, fearing that the Ghost King might harm His Majesty.

"roll"

As a result, he was told by His Majesty to get out.

There was nothing he could do but slink away.

"Meow...meow~"

"Meow meow meow~"

"Meow meow~"

Big White was excited; this was a legitimate opportunity to scold his master.

Immediately, it not only gestured wildly at Huang Taichu with its forelimbs, but also kept meowing.

The insults were incredibly vulgar.

"This is?"

Li Xingji and the others couldn't understand cat language, so they looked at Huang Taichu with curiosity.

What is the Ghost King trying to express?
“My father was sleeping soundly just now. I woke him up and he is now yelling at me.”

Huang Taichu felt that Da Bai's acting was too exaggerated, and afterwards, he had to stop feeding it cat food.

"Cough cough..."

Li Xingji wanted to see his father disciplining his son, but he couldn't help coughing.

He knew his body had reached its limit.

He quickly gave Huang Taichu a look, hoping that Huang Taichu could get his father's attention to him.

"That's enough. There are outsiders watching, and I still have my pride."

Only after its master warned it did Da Bai restrain itself and turn its gaze toward Li Xingji.

“Your Majesty, my father is attached to a cat and cannot speak, but he responds to Your Majesty by shaking his head or nodding.”

"If it's complicated language, I will translate it for His Majesty."

After hearing Huang Taichu's words, Li Xingji couldn't wait any longer.

Is it possible for humans to live forever?

After asking his question, Li Xingji looked at the large cat on the altar with expectant eyes.

Hopefully, the big cat will nod and say yes.

"Meow meow~"

Unfortunately, the big cat shook its head and meowed twice.

Seeing the big cat shake its head, Li Xingji was filled with disappointment, but after meowing twice, he could only look at Huang Taichu and ask what it meant.

“My father said that even he could not live forever, let alone ordinary people.”

Huang Taichu translated.

"Immortality is impossible, so could you grant me back my youth, or allow me to live for several more decades?"

Li Xingji looked at the big cat and continued to ask.

This time, Da Bai shook its head without making a meow.

"Impossible. You can revive a dying person, someone with a terminal illness, a genetic disease, or even a living dead person."

"How could you not even be able to let me live a few decades longer?"

Li Xingji didn't believe the Ghost King couldn't do it; he felt the Ghost King was lying to him.

The giant white dog, sitting quietly on the altar, watched Li Xingji without explaining anything or being moved.

Seeing that the Ghost King seemed to disregard him, the emperor of the mortal realm, Li Xingji clenched his fists slightly.

He loosened his grip after a moment; now was not the time to lose his temper.

"I cannot live forever, nor can I live a long life. I want to know, after my death, will I have the chance to exist in this world as a ghost, just like you?"

Li Xingji was more afraid of death than anyone else, but he couldn't survive no matter what he tried, so he wanted to continue existing as a ghost.

This is also a way of "living".

Moreover, he can control the power of ghosts and gods, and become an underworld emperor.

Upon hearing this, Da Bai refused to tolerate him and shook his head again.

"No, you must have a way to make me become the same as you after I die."

"Help me, or I'll set fire to this prison and kill your son."

Li Xingji was at his wit's end, because he wouldn't survive the night.

He is so energetic now because he had someone use a secret technique to keep him conscious.

With little time left, he had become reckless.

Either let him live, or we die together.

As soon as he uttered his threat, Da Bai's pupils turned into sharp, vertical pupils, colder than a snake's eyes.

The blue flames on its body turned green and became even more intense.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and a deeper darkness spread in. *Whoosh!*

"whoosh"

Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu appeared in front of the emperor, protecting him behind them, and looked at the big cat as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Your Majesty, you may burn down the imperial prison, but you cannot kill me."

"Because my father will possess me and take me out."

"If I live, this world may be overthrown."

"Your Majesty, are you willing to gamble with such a price?"

Huang Taichu said casually from the side.

When Li Xingji saw that Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu both shook their heads slightly at him, he knew that neither of them had any confidence.

"Can't I truly exist in this world as a ghost?"

Li Xingji asked the big cat again.

All that Da Bai received in response was his cold, vertical pupils.

"I understand."

After saying that, Li Xingji turned and walked outside without hesitation.

The others quickly followed behind His Majesty.

Huang Taichu didn't follow; he was too lazy to see the emperor off.

Outside the prison

Just as Li Xingji was about to board the imperial carriage, he suddenly stopped.

He summoned Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu to his side.

“Everyone in the Heavenly Prison except for the Ghost King’s son and that big cat was killed.”

Li Xingji gave the order.

"Your Majesty, this will anger the Ghost King."

Ye Wuji said.

"I'm already being very lenient by not touching his son."

Li Xingji just wanted to vent his anger.

It was as if he couldn't close his eyes tonight without venting his anger.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince are still imprisoned inside. Should we move them out first?"

Li Tianwu suggested.

Li Xingji didn't speak, but just stared coldly at Li Tianwu.

Li Tianwu understood: His Majesty's word was law; once he said to kill them all, he could not go back on his word.

Then he and Ye Wuji stood to the side without moving.

They disobeyed His Majesty's orders and were massacred in the imperial prison.

"You... you..."

"No... no, when..."

Li Xingji saw that Ye Wuji and Li Tianwu had not carried out his orders.

Instead, they stood aside and chose to ignore him, which left him confused about their intentions.

Just as he was about to say something, he glanced around and realized something was wrong.

It was as if everything around us had stopped.

No one—not even the Imperial Guards, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, or the Zhenwu Division—stood there motionless, including the two eunuchs who were helping him.

His eyes were lifeless, as if he were frozen in place, or as if time had stopped at that moment.

Only he and Ye Wuji were able to move freely under these circumstances.

How is this going?

Why has everything stopped?
When did it start?

Could it be the moment he called Ye Wuji and the other person over to talk?
"Ghost King?"

"Was it the Ghost King's doing?"

"How could you two betray me?"

“Especially you, Li Tianwu, you should be the least likely person to betray me.”

Li Xingji reacted quickly, realizing that this bizarre scene must have been orchestrated by the Ghost King.

He regretted it a little; how could he have ordered Ye Wuji and the other man to carry out the massacre at the entrance of the prison?

This angered the Ghost King, who refused to let him go.

However, he was a man who wouldn't survive the night, and he only felt a slight regret; he felt no fear.

What puzzled him was why Li Tianwu would betray him.

"You're right, it's indeed a bit difficult to get him to betray you, but he's facing me."

Huang Taichu carried Da Bai out of the prison.
