Chapter 25: Not on the Throne
"Father," I hurriedly excused myself: "Absolutely not, first, it's true that I'm the son-in-law of the ghost clan, but I'm not a member of the ghost clan. www.biquge.info Second, although I helped a little in this war, I didn't want to be a ghost king, and I didn't have the leadership ability, if I were to be a ghost king, I wouldn't necessarily make a lot of mess and jokes for the ghost clan! β
The Ghost King stared at my eyes and observed my expression, and when he saw that I was earnest, he smiled at everyone: "What my son-in-law said is not reasonable, then, let this matter go for now!" β
The four elders also nodded to each other in agreement.
After this demon war, the ghost clan enchantment is full of ruins and ruins. Walking on the streets, it is common to see scenes of loved ones dying in the war, and living people holding corpses and weeping bitterly. Among them, there was a little boy, five or six years old, squatting on the ground shaking the corpses of his parents and shouting: "Mother, what's wrong with you, mother, father, wake up, what's wrong with you?" β
I couldn't help but let my tears slip from my eyes.
I saw the soldier next to me who was gathering the corpse again, and I called for it. When the soldier saw me, he respectfully called out to the horseman. I pointed to the little boy and told him that he must take good care of him, and he was ordered to take the little boy away.
Back in the room, Yaoyao saw that there were tears in the corners of my eyes, so she didn't ask more.
That night, I tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep. For the first time, the catastrophe brought about by war was terrifying. Why is there a war in this world? Is it hatred, or lust?
"Fu Ling, you better go back to the human realm quickly, otherwise the Ghost King will kill you." In the haze, I heard another voice in my ears, as loud as a bell.
"I'm the son-in-law of the ghost king, how could my father kill me, don't be untrustworthy." I replied.
"Fu Ling, I can't imagine that you are still so naΓ―ve after a few lifetimes, I don't see that your cultivation has made any progress in these lifetimes. You defeated the demon clan, according to the rules of the ghost clan, the position of the ghost king should be done by you, have you done it? Will the Ghost King easily teach you the throne to this hairy boy? The voice said unceremoniously.
"Father is going to say that he will pass the throne to me today, but I don't want to be it." I argued.
"Haha, silly boy, that's the ghost king testing you, how can the ghost king give up power. If you receive the seal today, I promise you will not survive to-night. β
Listening to his words, I recalled the look on his face when the Ghost King passed on my letter during the day, as if what he said was reasonable.
"Who are you? Why are you telling me this? I pressed him.
"You'll find out later." Say me, and the voice disappears.
I was groggy and didn't know whether to sleep or wake up, so I spent the night.
Early in the morning, the toad came to my room again. In yesterday's battle, he was also seriously injured, but he still came to see me, and my heart was full of warmth.
"Uncle, how are you feeling?" The toad still looked at me with an indecent look. In this ghost clan territory, most of the ghost clan members respectfully call me "Master Horse", only Tian Toad calls me "Uncle", and I feel very affectionate to him like this.
"Uncle Tianchan, I'm fine." I replied with a smile.
Seeing Yaoyao turn around to make tea, Tianchan quickly attacked my crotch with her hand, and I screamed. Yaoyao glanced back and found that I was clutching my crotch in embarrassment, and then at the toad who pretended to be nothing, and Yaoyao continued to be busy with the work in her hands.
"Uncle Tianchan, what are you doing?" I asked, squeezing a small voice out between my teeth.
Tian Toad said mysteriously: "Hehe, let me check to see if you were injured here during the battle, and it doesn't seem to affect your work last night?" β
At this time, Yaoyao came over and said angrily: "Uncle Tianchan, I came to mess around early in the morning, and I didn't see any elders!" As he spoke, he threw the teapot on the table.
Tian Toad didn't feel embarrassed, let alone angry, but smiled, as if he had taken advantage of it. Tian Toad paused, and then said:
"Yaoyao, I'm here this time to discuss with you on a serious matter, this ......"
"What can you do?" Before Tianchan finished speaking, Yaoyao choked.
"Huh?" Tian Toad was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Why can't I have a serious matter, I am also the great protector of the ghost clan, so I can't have a serious matter?" β
"I didn't see you passing by," Yaoyao continued to say angrily. I pulled Yaoyao and motioned for her to stop playing with her eldest lady.
Seeing this, Tian Toad smiled at me, made a helpless gesture, and then said to me: "Uncle, after this evil battle Demon King and Demon Li Demon were killed, Mo Li Ding and Mo Li Tian were also seriously injured, which can be described as a heavy loss, and the Demon Clan must not have the strength to attack our clan again in the past few decades." However, my ghost clan is also seriously injured and needs to recuperate. You see that there are broken walls and corpses everywhere here, and it is no longer suitable for princesses and horses to live here, it is better for you to go back to the human world to live, which is also beneficial to children, and children must not be born in this bloody environment. You see? After Tian Toad finished speaking, he looked at me and waited for my answer.
"Father asked you to drive us away?" Yaoyao asked excitedly.
"Oh, no, no, the king doesn't know about this, I came here on my own initiative, and it is also for the good of you and my uncle."
It's been more than seven years since I left home, and although my parents are no longer there, the homesickness has become stronger and stronger as time goes by. Actually, I wanted to go home and have a look to see what Sedum and Xiaolong were doing, as well as Xiaolian......
