After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

The eye was like a human eye, but not quite the same.

 

Lu Yingjiu was startled, and a chill ran up his spine.

 

The pupil of the eye filled the entire eye socket and had a strange metallic luster.

 

Countless intricate patterns rotated within it, like a dazzling kaleidoscope, constantly changing, each breath was a new world, just one glance could make one dizzy.

 

If Lu Yingjiu could see clearly, he would recognize that those patterns were actually talismans. They constantly formed different formations, instantly combining and instantly separating, changing thousands of times in an instant.

 

It rotated coldly, its gaze sweeping over the earth, finally freezing on Lu Yingjiu.

 

Lu Yingjiu had just pulled out a talisman from his hand…

 

But then the car suddenly braked hard!

 

It was a miracle that no one was thrown out tens of meters when a sports car traveling at 120 kilometers per hour braked hard. He suddenly lost his balance, his body leaning forward, and in the blink of an eye, he made eye contact with Yao Gou in the rearview mirror—

 

The little fat man was expressionless.

Inertia had no effect on him, he still sat upright, his whole person like a rock, coldly and silently opened his mouth:

 

“Lu Yingjiu, your time has come.”

 

Lu Yingjiu reacted extremely quickly, propping himself up on the front seat with one hand and throwing a talisman at him with the other!

 

The next second, there was warmth behind him.

 

Jing Xian pulled him into his arms, he reached out, layers of black mist enveloped his hand, his fingers were still slender, his joints were still clear, only the tips of his fingers had turned into the sharp nails of a fierce ghost, with a light stroke, he actually tore a crack in the top of the sports car.

 

Metal was as fragile as paper in front of him, completely crumpled, the gale mixed with torrential rain pounced down, wetting their faces.

 

Lu Yingjiu only felt a lightness all over his body.

 

The road quickly receded from his sight, and then they stopped at a certain height, overlooking the surroundings.

 

Jing Xian was actually standing with him in mid-air.

 

The cold wind carried them, allowing them to walk as if on flat ground.

 

Soon, Lu Yingjiu understood why Jing Xian did this.

This highway was in the sky, spanning most of the factory area, directly flying over a shallow sea to the airport.

 

At this time, the road was vibrating, and it was actually densely packed with fierce ghosts, climbing up along the bridge piers!

 

They moved extremely fast, using their hands and feet, quickly covering the entire road, surging, and staring at the two people in the air.

 

…No, those are not ghosts.

 

Lu Yingjiu squinted his eyes.

 

Although they were full of Yin energy, their breath was completely different from all the ghosts he had encountered.

 

Most of them were holding weapons, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, similar to divine weapons. Strong talisman fluctuations emerged on the weapons, and no one dared to challenge their sharpness.

 

“These are the servants of the Heavenly Way.” Jing Xian said in his ear, “Always bowing to it, until death.”

 

Lu Yingjiu said, “What about Yao Gou and the others?”

 

“Don’t worry about them, they are fine for now.” Jing Xian said, “This is not the real world, its target is just you.”

Lu Yingjiu wanted to look at the eye in the sky again, but was held down by Jing Xian, firmly blocking his vision.

 

He said, “Jing Xian…”

 

“Don’t look at it anymore.” Jing Xian interrupted, biting his ear and said, “You are my person, and I will be jealous if you look at others.”

 

So, Lu Yingjiu turned his head to look at the road.

 

On the road, the servants of the Heavenly Way were quickly stacking up, and the height was rising, and they were almost close to the two of them!

 

Jing Xian raised his hand.

 

A sharp cry erupted beside them!

 

An invisible door opened in the air, and hundreds of ghosts rushed out!

 

They had green faces and ferocious fangs, covered in blood, surrounded by flames or frost, just like the terrifying scene of the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade.

 

Not only in the air, but also on the ground, a steady stream of crimson and fierce ghosts emerged.

 

They didn’t hesitate at all, obeyed the orders of the Ghost King, and quickly entangled with the servants.

 

Limbs flew around, and blood flowed!

 

The fight between non-human beings was always a hundred times more cruel. In a short time, the tearing sound of flesh and blood, the screams of ghosts and the dull collision of bodies came. In just over ten seconds, the entire highway was washed with blood, and all that caught the eye was a large area of crimson, with broken flesh floating and sinking.

 

The little ghosts tore off the heads of the servants, greedily sucking the brain pulp, and then, they were cut in half by another servant with a divine weapon, their stomachs broken and intestines flowing. Before this servant could shake off the blood on the knife, the next second, a ghost horse raised its hoof and kicked its spine to pieces.

 

Life and death were all in an instant.

 

The guardrail was shattered, and large pieces of the road fell to the ground, and the edge was a waterfall of blood flowing out.

 

Everything was like purgatory.

 

The vision was blurred in the heavy rain, they fought like beasts, swallowed the losers, and drank blood wildly.

 

Lu Yingjiu had seen too many big scenes, but such a tragic situation, even he rarely saw.

 

Jing Xian held him tightly all the time.

 

From this perspective, Lu Yingjiu couldn’t see Jing Xian’s expression, only felt that his anger was as hot as magma.

 

Jing Xian was severely almost turned into his ghost form, his eyes were crimson, his body temperature was cold, and the hand that hugged him had sharp nails, but at this moment he carefully retracted them, fearing to hurt him.

 

The eye in the sky turned.

 

Lu Yingjiu was blocked by Jing Xian, it couldn’t find the target, so it just turned coldly, staring at the slaughter on the highway.

 

It was unknown how long it took, the bodies of the fierce ghosts and servants covered the road.

 

The last servant fell, its body swayed, the giant axe in its hand fell to the ground with a clanging sound, splashing flesh and blood.

 

Everything returned to silence.

 

The eye turned again, and the kaleidoscope-like talisman in the pupils turned.

 

It finally stared at Jing Xian.

 

Jing Xian looked back at it expressionlessly.

 

In front of this huge pupil, whether it was a human or a ghost, it was extremely small, and the oppressive feeling that arose from the heart could almost force people to kneel directly. It just stared at Jing Xian like this, as if to remember his face.

 

Jing Xian sneered contemptuously, his eyebrows full of irony and provocation.

 

[Come if you have the ability.] He said.

 

The eye turned again and gently closed.

 

There were only dark clouds and lightning in the sky.

 

Lu Yingjiu’s eyes flickered.

 

When he came back to his senses, the first thing he felt was the coolness of the air conditioner blowing on his face, and then he heard Yao Gou’s out-of-tune humming.

 

The road was clean, as if nothing had happened.

 

“Such a beautiful jasmine flower~~” Yao Gou sang with a shake of his head, “Fragrant and beautiful, full of branches, fragrant and white, everyone praises, let me pick you off and give it to someone else’s home~~”

 

“Ah!” He turned his head and asked again, “Lu Yingjiu, do you remember, there used to be a music teacher in our big yard. She was pretty, and I loved listening to her sing! Ah, you two…”

 

His words stopped abruptly.

 

In the back seat, Jing Xian and Lu Yingjiu were tightly hugging each other, inseparable.

 

Yao Gou shivered, quickly looking forward. “Ah, it’s okay! I’m driving! I’ll keep driving!”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

 

He broke free from Jing Xian’s embrace.

 

Looking at the sky again, the rain was still rain, the clouds were still clouds, the sky was gray, and there was no abnormality.

 

Jing Xian said softly, “It’s gone.”

 

“When will it come back?” Lu Yingjiu asked.

 

Jing Xian shook his head gently.

 

“Why was I cursed?” Lu Yingjiu asked again.

 

Jing Xian still shook his head and said, “You continue to sleep, we’re almost there, rest a little longer.” He rubbed Lu Yingjiu’s head, the touch of black hair under his hand was very soft, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

 

Lu Yingjiu was actually not afraid.

 

At most, it was a surprise, not fear.

 

After experiencing such a thrilling fight, he understood that the curse on him, like Chu Qianju, was from the Heavenly Way.

 

If other people encountered this situation, they would probably feel a strong sense of powerlessness. That was a power that couldn’t be resisted at all, it must be a dead end.

 

But…

 

Lu Yingjiu was never a person who was afraid of death.

 

Usually, he held the mentality of “I can live one more day, I can earn one more day”, he did not miss any dangerous commissions, always rushing to the forefront of exorcisng ghost. After all, it was a miracle that he could survive his childhood.

 

It was also the same now.

 

From the moment he first encountered the “time has come” matter, he understood that this was definitely another thing he couldn’t control.

 

So even when he really realized that it was a curse from the Heavenly Way, he wasn’t too surprised.

 

On the contrary, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment in his heart, as if he had finally glimpsed a part of the puzzle, and after a long time, the dense fog finally cleared a little.

 

The only thing that worried him was Jing Xian, who had said he would ensure his safety.

 

Neither humans nor ghosts could contend with the Heavenly Way.

 

He became more and more certain that Jing Xian would break his death fate in a way he didn’t want to see…

 

Although the worry was still there, Lu Yingjiu quickly calmed down.

 

And Jing Xian continued to comfort him, afraid that he might  be scared.

 

Yao Gou continued to drive, and soon everyone arrived at the rest station to take a break.

 

Everyone else went into the convenience store, only Lu Yingjiu and Jing Xian found a quiet corner to stay.

 

There was no one around, and because of the rain, there were no birds or insects on the trees nearby.

 

When they got to this place, Jing Xian’s hands started to get restless again, hugging and holding Lu Yingjiu, saying ‘Look at your husband just now, so powerful, so promising, and so domineering.’.

 

Lu Yingjiu’s eyes shifted, and he seemed to speak casually. “Jing Xian, I’ve been thinking about it, a regular priest can’t protect my safety.”

 

Jing Xian was stunned for a moment. “Hm?”

 

Lu Yingjiu said: “I know you’re just a small priest in the ghost world, and have been too embarrassed to tell me.”

 

Jing Xian: “Hmm?”

 

He was a bit confused.

 

In fact, Lu Yingjiu was very clear in his heart.

 

How could someone who could command hundreds of ghosts like this be a small priest?

 

It’s just that Jing Xian had been hiding and tucking away, not saying anything, so he took this opportunity to provoke him.

 

Sure enough, Jing Xian stuttered. “Didn’t you see how powerful I was just now?”

 

“Not enough,” Lu Yingjiu said, “after all, just a small priest.”

 

Jing Xian said again, “I killed so many servants! And didn’t let you get hurt either!”

 

“Not enough,” Lu Yingjiu said, “after all, just a small priest.”

 

A very complex expression suddenly appeared on Jing Xian’s face, a few points of struggle, a few points of confusion, a few points of speechlessness, a few points of impulse.

 

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say it.

 

Lu Yingjiu raised his head slightly, leaned in very close, patted all his breath on Jing Xian’s side face, and said in his ear. “If this continues, I’m going to remarry, find a powerful priest to rely on, and get through this death fate.”

 

Jing Xian: !!!

 

He suddenly had a “you’ve scumbag me again” expression on his face, looking hurt, sad and aggrieved, wanting to go straight up to kiss Lu Yingjiu but a little afraid.

 

Seeing this, Lu Yingjiu couldn’t help but laugh, his heart softened.

 

He pulled Jing Xian over and gently kissed him on the lips.

 

Then he whispered, “I was just joking… you believe that? Didn’t I just confess to you this morning, how could I change my mind in the afternoon?”

 

Jing Xian was stunned, then angrily said, “I’ve always believed in you! I’ll believe whatever you say!”

 

Lu Yingjiu said, “So if I tell you, I’m not human, I’m a variant Godzilla from the M78 nebula, who has fought with Ultraman before, you’ll believe it too?”

 

Jing Xian: “Of course!!”

 

He hesitated for a few seconds. “Are you really Godzilla?”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

 

This kid is too easy to fool.

 

Jing Xian emphasized again. “So, you can’t lie to me again in the future.”

 

“Okay, okay, umhp…” Before Lu Yingjiu could finish speaking, Jing Xian had already leaned down and kissed him.

 

The two of them kissed for a while, their lips and teeth intertwined.

 

After a long time, Jing Xian reluctantly parted.

 

Lu Yingjiu grabbed his arm and said, “Jing Xian, but you don’t want to tell me anything. Not to mention the matter of the Heavenly Way, you didn’t even tell me about your official position.”

 

He looked at Jing Xian, looked into those deep eyes, and said seriously, “Sometimes I feel like you’re hiding a lot of things. You almost know everything about me, but I may not know that much about you.”

 

Jing Xian was stunned for a few seconds.

 

Then he said, “The matter of the official position, indeed, is my problem… I’m afraid you’ll despise me.”

 

Lu Yingjiu said, “How could it be possible.” After saying that, he kissed Jing Xian on the corner of his lips again.

 

Jing Xian was so coaxed by him that he was overjoyed, and immediately had the courage to confess, “Because I always feel….it seems to not have much of a face, letting you marry down.”

 

Lu Yingjiu thought: how could an official position be so hard to say, could it be that Jing Xian is the King of the Sewer, the King of Durian, the King of Snail Noodles?

 

Or perhaps, he is the kind of priest whose body is ugly and dare not show his true face to him.

 

But that’s not right, Jing Xian came to the sun in his flesh, theoretically this is his true face…

 

Could it be that Jing Xian really is a weak priest?

 

But he heard Jing Xian say, “Actually, actually, actually I am the Ghost King…”

 

After speaking, he looked at Lu Yingjiu with great anxiety.

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

 

Lu Yingjiu: ???

 

How did Jing Xian manage to say such a domineering sentence in such a nervous, uneasy and weak tone??

 

And why is Jing Xian the Ghost King?!

 

Why is the Ghost King actually Jing Xian?!

 

For a moment, his mind was in chaos, and he couldn’t figure out what was going on.

 

Then he suddenly realized that his ghost marriage had not only tricked a “sexy female ghost”, but had directly tricked the boss of the ghost world!

 

This…

 

Did he steal the ghost world’s home?!

 

Lu Yingjiu was stunned.

 

In an instant, he went from the mentality of “marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog”, thinking that Jing Xian was just a powerful priest, to the shock of “Jing Xian is actually the only one in the three thousand scoops of weak waters”.

 

(t/n: marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog-no matter whether the marriage partner is good or not, a woman has no choice but to live with her for the rest of her life.)

 

(t/n: three thousand scoops of weak waters-It means that you may encounter many beautiful things in your life, but as long as you grasp one of them with your heart, it is enough.)

 

And…

 

In ancient times, there was a noble concubine who ate lychees with extraordinary abilities, and there were also kings playing with the flames of war, challenging the vassals, and pursuing a beautiful smile from a charming woman.

 

Shouldn’t other priests be worried that if Lu Yingjiu was some kind of coquettish little demon concubine, saying unheeded advice to Jing Xian’s side, the whole ghost world would be finished?

 

After a long time, he said, “Why did you hold your breath and not say anything?! I thought you were the King of Durian!”

 

This time, Jing Xian was even more embarrassed and said, “You’ve seen it, there’s no temple in the mortal world that worships me. I’ve always felt it’s quite face-losing, really letting you marry down.”

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…That’s it? That’s why you’ve been hiding it from me for so long?”

 

“That’s it.” Jing Xian nodded, “That’s it.”

 

Lu Yingjiu almost laughed in anger.

 

He rubbed his brow hard to suppress the raging anger in his heart. “Jing Xian, you really are…..Don’t you think about it, who in the world would dare to worship you?!”

 

The priest who is the slaughterer, is also the Ghost King.

 

Which people could possibly keep it under control?!

 

It’s like setting up a god statue, no one’s fate can withstand it either, let alone worship it every day, I’m afraid it would turn into a river of blood and a family ruin.

 

No temple?

 

It would be strange if there was a temple!

 

Jing Xian said: “Anyway, there isn’t one, no matter what the reason, no one worships me.”

 

He looked at Lu Yingjiu again and said, “But I’m not some little priest, I can definitely protect you.”

 

“Mmm, mmm, mmm.” Lu Yingjiu was still in chaos.

 

Jing Xian emphasized again. “So don’t despise me! Don’t remarry!”

 

This is what he cares about the most.

 

“Mmm, mmm, mmm.” Lu Yingjiu continued to be in chaos, thinking to himself: what virtue and ability do I have to despise the Ghost King.

 

Jing Xian was still not reassured, and once again leaned down, hugged Lu Yingjiu and kissed him enough, kissed him until he was forced to give up his messy thoughts, kissed him until his waist was weak, kissed him until he reached out his hand to grab his arm, and let out a few vague moans.

 

Jing Xian used this method to confirm that his marital relationship was still very stable, then backed away and emphasized again. “Don’t remarry!”

 

“Okay, okay. Definitely won’t remarry.” Lu Yingjiu turned his face away, took a few deep breaths, and finally recovered a bit from the deep kiss just now, “Now, you, you give me some time to recover.”

 

He quickly straightened his clothes that had been wrinkled by Jing Xian.

 

Looking outside the rest station, everyone else had returned to the car.

 

It was time to go back, and the two of them walked one after the other.

 

As they walked, Jing Xian began to mutter again, “Don’t remarry, don’t remarry.”

 

“Okay, okay, I know.” Lu Yingjiu said.

 

“Do you really know?”

 

“Really, really.”

 

“Then don’t remarry.”

 

“Okay, okay, okay…”

 

“Will you always be with me?”

 

Lu Yingjiu was stunned, and the emotions that had finally calmed down surged up again, his ears slightly hot, “…Yes. Don’t ask me anymore, let’s go back to the car first, little-priest.”

 

Jing Xian, satisfied with his promise, didn’t mind Lu Yingjiu’s sarcasm at all, and followed him quietly and happily.

 

It started to drizzle again in the sky, and the clouds were rolling.

 

A few drops fell on Lu Yingjiu’s cheek, cold.

 

He gradually calmed his emotions.

 

In an angle that Jing Xian couldn’t see, his expression was solemn.

 

But as he walked, he thought: even the Ghost King couldn’t contend with the Heavenly Way.

 

His expression became colder and colder.

 

Lu Yingjiu seemed to have made some kind of decision, his eyebrows were condensed with determination, and a bit of sharp killing intent.

 

However, when he turned his head and saw Jing Xian, all these emotions were hidden again, without leaking a drop.

 

Jing Xian took half a step more to squeeze next to him, with a full face of “I want to ask you a question, but I can’t speak” expression.

 

“…What’s wrong?” Lu Yingjiu unconsciously smiled, “Little priest, what else do you want to say?”

 

Jing Xian still wanted to speak but stopped, and stopped but wanted to speak.

 

After several times, he carefully asked, “So, are you really a Godzilla variant from M78?”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

 

Lu Yingjiu: “….…”

 

The ghost world is doomed!!
