Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

However, if my husband betrays my trust...

"I wonder what she might do then~"

"Don't worry, I've never thought much of Yi Meihan. She's just my maid."

"Okay, sure~"

As Qiu Qingmeng finished speaking, her figure disappeared.

"Su Li, what exactly is your relationship with her...?"

Now that only she and Su Li were left, Yi Meihan was finally able to ask a question.

"It's a long story."

Su Li sighed and rubbed the corner of her eye.

"In short, if you want to leave the Ghost Realm alive, you must help me."

......

"Owner."

Inside the main hall of the city lord's mansion, the city lord of Graybone City bowed in greeting.

Sitting high on her seat in the city lord's mansion, Qiu Qingmeng raised her head and glanced at the other person indifferently.

……

……

[Sigh... I'm so busy with work, and my salary hasn't increased yet. It's so tough...]

Chapter 570 No need to rush...

Zhang Wei was a native of the State of Zhou.

The gentlemen of Confucian academies are upright and honest.

He once had the opportunity to be promoted to the position of Confucian Master, but when the Zhou state was in crisis, he left the Confucian academy and returned to the Zhou state.

He helped the Zhou king defeat the enemy army, relieve the national crisis, and even turn the tables on the enemy, forcing the enemy to seize twelve cities as an apology.

However, his achievements overshadowed the emperor, leading to attacks from powerful ministers and interference from the empire.

He was eventually killed by the emperor on the grounds that he had brought disaster to the country and disrupted the proper order, and that he harbored wolfish ambitions.

Unable to let go of his obsession after death, he became a ghost cultivator and eventually arrived in the Ghost Realm.

I hereby appoint you as the Lord of Ash Bone City.

It has been 1,200 years since then.

During his tenure as the lord of Ghost City, everything in Graybone City was peaceful and uneventful.

"Does what I've said differ from your experience, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Wei bowed respectfully and said, "What you have said, Master, is all true. However, I dare not address you as 'Master'."

"Graybone City is a place entangled in karma. The fact that you were able to serve as the city lord of Graybone City without any merit or demerit is already a great achievement."

Qiu Qingmeng held the teacup on the table with her fair little hands.

"If I am not mistaken, the magic array that Cang Hong set up can be completed in a month."

As a result, you deliberately dragged it out for a month and a half.

Your position is not high, and you receive very little information, so it's impossible for you to know the significance of Graybone City directly.

But you guessed it.

So you deliberately delayed, knowing that someone from Fengdu would definitely come to stop that brainless Zang Hong.

Am I right about all of this?

Zhang Wei remained silent, only bowing once more and then bowing deeply.

Zhang Wei's bow was both a sign of humility and an implicit acceptance of Qiu Qingmeng's words, a characteristic of the reserved nature of a traditional Confucian scholar.

"Get up."

Qiu Qingmeng tossed a jade pendant to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei caught it with both hands.

The sign above read "Ghost Inspector".

Ghost Inspector.

As the name suggests, they are the highest-ranking officials who patrol the Ghost Realm. They are directly under the command of the Ghost King and do not need to kneel before any of the Ghost Realm's lords except for the Ghost King!

Those below the lords have the power to execute first and report later!

"What is this, Master?"

Zhang Wei held the jade pendant, looking quite puzzled.

"This jade pendant is yours. From now on, you only need to be responsible to me. As for Graybone City, someone will come to take over your position."

"Yes......"

In fact, Zhang Wei's desire for power was not that great.

If possible, Zhang Wei would love to be a lazy bum in this Gray Bone City.

“Zhang Wei, I know you really want to retire in Gray Bone City.”

Qiu Qingmeng's scarlet eyes seemed to see right through Zhang Wei's heart.

"You devoted yourself to the Zhou state, but were ultimately discarded after you had served your purpose. You thought that when you died, your heart died too."

But Zhang Wei.

You are not reconciled!

Otherwise, you would have already been reincarnated and wouldn't have become a ghost cultivator.

You might think that over the years, the resentment in your heart has long since faded away.

But Zhang Wei, why haven't you been reincarnated yet?

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Qingmeng had already disappeared from the main hall.

Qiu Qingmeng's words drifted in on the breeze from the doorway:

"Zhang Wei, go to Xu Qi's fiefdom! That Fishing Mountain! I want you to bring out that old guy in the mountain, no matter the cost!"

Zhang Wei turned around and bowed deeply in the direction Qiu Qingmeng had left: "Yes..."

......

In the courtyard where Zang Hong lived.

Zang Hong was still pacing back and forth.

Zang Hong was still using his skull to ponder the relationship between his master and Mr. Su.

Zang Hong did not have feelings for Qiu Qingmeng.

For Zang Hong, Qiu Qingmeng was his lord. In life, Zang Hong devoted himself to only one lord, and after death, he devoted himself to only one lord!

The main problem is that it's somewhat hard to imagine.

It's hard to imagine that the owner would fall in love with someone.

This world is absolutely insane.

curious.

I'm just so curious.

Zang Hong was extremely curious about how Su Yida had managed to enter his master's inner world.

In Zang Hong's mind, countless melodramatic stories had already been imagined.

Just as Cang Hong was imagining that one day, when his master lost all his magical powers, Su Yida would save him, and the two of them would live happily ever after, a cold wind suddenly blew by.

"Owner!"

Zang Hong knelt down on one knee, looking so practiced.

Qiu Qingmeng glanced at Zang Hong.

"Go and do something for me."

"Yes! This humble general will go through fire and water for his master!"

"You don't need to go through fire and water. Just go to the Underworld Sea. Three months later, several jade clams will appear in the Underworld Sea. The largest one will be the Clam King."

I want you to see him take off his pearl and then give it to me!

You should set off now.

"Yes!"

Although I don't know what the master's purpose is in doing this, I will do it if the master asks me to, and I don't need any reason.

"When you return, go to the Underworld and find the Ghost Clan."

"As ordered!"

Zang Hong got up and left.

"Wait."

Qiu Qingmeng tossed a jade dew bottle to Cang Hong.

"This contains the Water Essence of Helplessness. Here, take it. Remember! Don't let me down!"

Holding the Naihe Water Essence, Cang Hong knelt on one knee, punched the ground with one fist, then stood up and strode away!

This means that if Zang Hong fails to complete the mission, he will die for his country!

After Zang Hong left, Qiu Qingmeng took out a bottle of azure blue medicine in the courtyard.

The blue potion reflected the pale moonlight.

This bottle of medicine is only a semi-finished product. To truly complete it, Zhang Wei must invite that old guy out of seclusion.

And Cang Hong must obtain that pearl at that moment.

When her husband drank the potion.

Then my husband has truly returned.

"No rush...no rush..."

Qiu Qingmeng's scarlet eyes flickered between light and shadow.

Before long, my husband will truly return, and he will never be able to leave me for the rest of his life.

......

White Country.

It is located to the north of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, but it does not border the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. Instead, it is adjacent to the Kingdom of Giants and the Kingdom of Heartless.

After a long journey, the two veiled girls finally entered the territory of the White Kingdom.

In the White Kingdom, the two girls were finally able to restore their original hair color.

With her long, silvery-white hair cascading over her shoulders, she blended in seamlessly into the city.

Because everyone is like that.

"Ladies, the palace is ahead! Please stop here."

Below the White Empire's palace, two attendants, holding crossed halberds, blocked the two men's path.

“Brother guard…please hand this jade pendant over to His Majesty.”

The servant took the jade pendant and looked at it. His eyes narrowed as he stared in astonishment at the two stunningly beautiful women before him.

"Ladies, please wait a moment."

A servant, holding a halberd, bowed and then hurriedly ran into the palace.
