Chapter 146: The Ghost City Lord Is In Love With Me? (1/2)

An unscrupulous peddler would sell rocks as jewels. He did not expect such unscrupulous merchants to exist in the ghost market too.

Jiang Li held a bracelet in his hand. It was something he had bought from a one-eyed ghost with a few pieces of jade.

If one looked at it with the naked eye, this bracelet was neither gold nor wood and was as warm as jade. At a glance, it was a treasure with quite a bit of spirituality.

However, after the spiritual qi entered his eyes, the prayer beads on the bracelet did not have any spirituality left.

These were thirteen human eyeballs that were still moving and looking around!

In fact, judging from the color of the irises, one of them was the eyeball of the one-eyed ghost.

The things bought here were indeed a little sinister.

In any case, this thing only required a little refinement and could be refined into an artifact, so he had barely managed to make a small profit this time.

However, even a cultivator with a yin attribute spiritual root like Jiang Li could not stand the disgusting nature of this place…

Jiang Li looked at this group of ghosts who dared to sell anything and was really speechless.

However, these guys were so enthusiastic about buying and selling. With a little training, they might be quite good employees. It would be a pity to kill them casually.

Jiang Li walked to an empty alley beside the Ghost City's street and was taking out a stack of talismans from his bosom, intending to use the talisman formation he had learned to completely envelop this area.

”Help! Help! Can someone save me?!”

However, at this moment, a few beautiful cries for help sounded. From the voice, one could tell that this person was definitely a peerless beauty, making one's imagination run wild.

Soon, a few figures appeared at the entrance of the alley.

Behind them were three burly men who were obviously not good people. In front of them was a cold, elegant, and scantily clad young lady stumbling.

A sound of cloth tearing sounded. The dress of the young girl was pulled by the burly man behind her, and a large piece of the thin veil dress was torn apart.

The young woman immediately let out a crisp cry. Only a pitiful piece of cloth remained on her body, revealing a large portion of her icy skin and brow bone. Under the moonlight, it reflected a soul-stirring luster, and then her entire body fell before Jiang Li's feet.

”Young Master! Young Master, save me!”

Gulp~

Jiang Li looked at the scene before him and could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. The young woman before him was truly breathtakingly beautiful.

Looking at Jiang Li's expression, an expression of ”as expected, men are all the same” flashed past the girl's eyes, and then she became even more pitiful looking.

”Kid! Mind your own business! Give me that girl quickly! Otherwise, you'll suffer!”

The burly man at the entrance of the alley also squeezed in. At some point, a thick blade used by the butcher had appeared in his hand, and he was still working hard to act fierce.

”Young Master! Don't worry about me! Run!”

The young woman by his side could still be so considerate when she was being pursued by others. If it were an ordinary young master who was inexperienced in the world, how could he not take the 'kind' her as the love of his life?

Jiang Li withdrew his Qi Refinement cultivation and deliberately revealed the aura of an internal force martial artist, making it harder for others to see his true strength. This was probably why the other party would come looking for him.

Although he clearly knew that the situation was not right, Jiang Li still did not choose to act directly. It was not easy to trigger a 'plot' event, and this finally made him feel like a transmigrator.

Although it was very likely that it would still be a ”scam” later on, with Jiang Li's cultivation and strength, how could he be afraid of these ghosts stirring up trouble?

”If one sees injustice, they should lend a helping hand. Miss, don't worry. Just stand behind me.”

Jiang Li helped her up, then removed the pair of gloves on his hands and stood in front of her.

This pair of gloves was made from the skin on the Dragon Tortoise's claws. It was abnormally tough. Jiang Li had worn this when he was shopping in the ghost market to avoid accidentally burning those ghosts to death.

”Kid! You want to spoil my fun! You're courting death!”

The burly man stepped forward and slashed down with the Bone Beheading Blade.

The thick Bone Beheading Blade could even cut open a pig's head or a bull's head. If an ordinary person touched it, their skull would be split into two.

However, that was only for mortals. The bone saber that still carried wisps of Yin qi silently stopped above Jiang Li.

Jiang Li's right hand looked like it was only gently placed on it, but no matter how much strength the burly man used, he was unable to make the bone blade sway in the slightest.

Ssss!

Strands of white smoke rose. This bone blade was obviously made of an yin-attribute item. After it came into contact with Jiang Li's Anti-Demon Golden Skin, it immediately burned and revealed deep finger marks.

”Get lost!”

Jiang Li kicked them out of the alley and into the house opposite.

In the house, the illusion of the three burly men faded away, transforming into three blackened skeletons.

”Miss, are you all right?”

Jiang Li put on the pair of gloves again before helping the other party up from the ground.

The girl was sobbing on the ground. After being helped up by Jiang Li, she looked up at him with her bright eyes.

”I was originally out on the streets with my maidservant, but I was harassed by that villain Zhang Tu. That villain usually runs wild in the countryside, and today, he wants to forcefully marry me. I'll be his thirteenth concubine! Sob sob!”

”I was fortunate to be saved by Young Master and was able to escape calamity. I am unable to repay Young Master's kindness. Tonight, my parents are out and there is no one at home. Young Master, please enter the residence to rest for a while and let me repay you!”

This young woman was shy and timid, so how could Jiang Li bear to refuse her? He directly agreed.

He picked up the two rags from the ground and put them on her before walking out of the alley under her guidance.

Jiang Li walked behind them. Rich spiritual qi gathered in his eyes as he looked at the pink skeleton in front of him.

He thought that if this ghost's illusion was too disgusting after seeing her true form, he would slap her to death on the spot.

However, to his surprise, although there was dense purple and black qi lingering on the other party's body, her skin was not fake. Not only did it not rot or have insects flying around as he imagined, he even saw a beauty on the line between life and death.

Jiang Li was at a loss. He did not know if he had not seen through the other party's disguise or if there was another reason.

However, he was now quite interested in this Seven Roads Ghost City and could not alert the enemy for the time being.

Ghost markets had always been famous for appearing and disappearing mysteriously. If they were startled and everyone ran away in an instant, even if a Core Formation cultivator came, they would be caught unaware.

Jiang Li fell a few steps behind. He took out a small coffin from his bosom and threw it into the darkness behind him.

”Young master, what's wrong?”

The woman walked to the alley and noticed that Jiang Li did not follow her, so she turned around and called out softly.

”It's nothing, I was just thinking… Miss is so beautiful, may I know your name?”

”My name is Qin Shuman…”

As the two of them chatted about their life experiences, they walked along the ghost market. There were hundreds of ghosts on the road, as if they could not see them at all. Or rather, no ghost dared to look at the two of them walking side by side.

Jiang Li was a strong and healthy person with strong Yang qi, and there was a peerless beauty whose clothes were exposed by the side. Even a ghost would not be able to resist taking a few more glances.

But no ghost did.

Jiang Li looked at the person beside him and his curiosity increased.

Soon, they reached the end of the ghost market. In front of them was a luxurious large courtyard with luxurious decor. There were two large red lanterns hanging at the entrance, but the red light did not give anyone any warmth.

”Young master, please follow me into the residence to rest.”

After bowing, Qin Shuman, who could either be human or ghost, stepped forward and pushed open the door. In the fog, one could vaguely see pavilions and gardens. This was indeed a wealthy family.

Although it was a trick, it was too tempting to resist.

Jiang Li was sizing up the mansion that was covered in illusion. He had to admit that Qin Shuman's design concept was really not bad to be able to transform a dilapidated temple into such a state. If she was not a ghost, she could really enter the renovation industry.

”That is but a pink skeleton. This little brother has already stepped into the gates of hell and still doesn't know it. Cough, cough. If you give me a bowl of blood to quench my thirst, I might be able to help you live.”

At this moment, in the shadows not far away, an old man walked over slowly while holding a donkey. On the back of the donkey, a string of bright red candied fruits appeared in the little girl's hand, and she was shaking her head happily.

”Young master, ignore him. He's a famous lunatic. He often swindles others!”

”Men! Beat him to death!”

It was as if Qin Shuman knew the other party. At this moment, she seemed to have become a different person. She no longer acted shy.

After shouting, dozens of ghosts dressed as servants rushed out of the Qin Residence towards the old donkey.

With this situation, how could that butcher from earlier dare to kidnap a civilian girl like her?

”Demon! How dare you be so insolent! It's your fate to have met me today!”

The old man removed a wooden stick from the donkey and pointed it forward, easily blowing up dozens of servants.
