Chapter 270: Chapter 185: Husband, I Want It! (Second Update)
An hour later.
In a mountain recess, Su Jie appeared with the Ghost Bride, the vast insect blanket dissipated.
As for Ning Xinyue, Xiao Fengyuan, and Qi Shijian, they were transported to another area by the insect blanket. Su Jie wasn’t worried about being separated; he already knew their approximate location and could find them later.
The insect blanket disappeared one by one until the Thousand-Handed Centipede’s body, the size of a chopstick, crawled up Su Jie’s arm.
Sizzle!
The Thousand-Handed Centipede gave two weak cries; using this technique meant it had discarded most of its body mass.
Not even “cutting off an arm to survive” would suffice to describe this—it was tantamount to severing everything below the neck.
With a heavy heart, Su Jie stroked the head of the Thousand-Handed Centipede and took out an Insect Control Bag, from which he fed it a large quantity of poisonous insects.
He then pulled out Spirit Stones and Blood Marrow Crystals from his Storage Bag to feed the Thousand-Handed Centipede, helping it recover its body and replenish its nutrients.
The Thousand-Handed Centipede chewed with relish, its body slowly recovering, but it would take several days to return to its peak condition.
Ghost Bride Han Ruyan stood quietly on the other side, seemingly watching Su Jie, or perhaps just lost in a daze.
Su Jie turned around to look at Han Ruyan’s pale figure.
Sensing Su Jie’s gaze, a profound stillness shone from Han Ruyan’s eyes. She quietly met his gaze and slowly spoke, “My husband.”
Her voice was two cold tones as she extended her pale, bloodless fingers, elegant and hauntingly beautiful.@@novelbin@@
Only her fingernails were painted a striking red, exceedingly enchanting.
This meant she wanted Su Jie to take her hand.
As Su Jie watched this scene, even with his composure, his heart began to race.
The presence of Han Ruyan in front of him made him feel a chill, even with his Primordial Spirit; she posed a threat to his safety.
Su Jie did not act immediately but connected to the depths of his sea of consciousness to check the contract with the Ghost Bride, Han Ruyan.
To his surprise, the contract within his sea of consciousness was quite unstable.
The Wedding Dress inside the sea of consciousness showed faint signs of transparency, and once it completely dissolved, it meant that the contract would break.
Su Jie speculated that the Ghost Bride, having transformed from the Heavenly Spinning Jade Light Body, was a royal among ghosts, making her far more difficult to control than ordinary fierce ghosts.
For Su Jie to control such an existence, even with his Primordial Spirit, the contract would be extremely challenging.
With that thought, Su Jie took the hand of the Ghost Bride; it was still cold to the touch.
Han Ruyan stood there in her exquisitely beautiful and majestic Wedding Dress, which floated gently around her. Although no emotions showed on her face,
inside Su Jie’s sea of consciousness, the translucent red Wedding Dress gradually stabilized and settled within.
“I can’t just keep holding her hand forever,” Su Jie thought with a headache. It was clear that the Ghost Bride, while being contracted, had her consciousness and was not as obedient as the Lantern Ghost and the Painting Woman.
After some thought, Su Jie took out a bunch of Primordial Spirit Pearls from his Storage Bag.
Each pearl was black, resembling a beautiful piece of ink jade, indicating they were filled with Fear Energy.
This was one of the spoils obtained from Zhong Shiguan.
Su Jie attempted to activate the Primordial Spirit Pearls and transferred the Fear Energy into the Ghost Bride.
The Nine Nether Ghost Cultivation Technique included methods for making and using Primordial Spirit Pearls, which Su Jie found very easy to use.
Within the Heavenly Soul Sect, a Primordial Spirit Pearl filled with Fear Energy was a valuable commodity for the Demon Cultivators, able to fetch a high price in Spirit Stones. However, there were not many who practiced ghost cultivation in the outside world, hence there was little recognition for it.
Ordinarily speaking, a general first-grade fierce ghost would need ten Primordial Spirit Pearls to be able to advance.
The stronger and more ferocious the ghost is at the same grade, the more Primordial Spirit Pearls it would need, which is indeterminate.
As Su Jie activated the Primordial Spirit Pearls, a faint, almost invisible wisp of black qi emerged, swirling around the Ghost Bride.
The originally ink-black Primordial Spirit Pearls gradually lightened in color, eventually becoming crystal clear.
They could be used again in the future to store Fear Energy, as they were reusable.
Looking at the Ghost Bride across from him, the dense death qi, resentment qi, and Yin Qi around her were all climbing, and her strength was also slowly increasing.
For fierce ghosts, Fear Energy is like the relationship between Cultivators and Spiritual Energy, the most critical thing for ghosts to upgrade their grade.
Su Jie could distinctly sense that the connection between the Ghost Bride and himself was becoming tighter.
This confirmed Su Jie’s speculation that feeding the Ghost Bride could significantly improve their affinity.
Soon, the hundreds of Primordial Spirit Pearls in Su Jie’s hand were all consumed.
This amount of Fear Energy was but a drop in the ocean for the Ghost Bride’s advancement.
A fifth-grade fierce ghost looking to advance to a sixth-grade fierce ghost would need an enormous amount of Fear Energy, let alone the Ghost Bride.
A ghostly emperor transformed from a Heavenly Spinning Jade Light Body, the Ghost Bride would need at least ten times the Fear Energy of other ghosts at the same grade.
“This strength is strong, but the Fear Energy needed seems way too much,” Su Jie lamented in his heart, feeling like a weary father, completely consumed with worry for his family.
Already raising a Thousand-Handed Centipede and now with the Ghost Bride, another big eater, Su Jie’s burden was undeniably heavier.
The Ghost Bride, not understanding Su Jie’s troubles, gazed at Su Jie with a longing look after absorbing hundreds of Primordial Spirit Pearls, clearly wanting to consume more Fear Energy.
“There’s none left. You’ve eaten it all. I haven’t even fed the Painting Woman and the Lantern Ghost yet—they’re still hungry.”
Su Jie spread his hands; he had no stock left.
The Primordial Spirit Pearl was something the Heavenly Soul Sect used; he had no idea where to find so much Fear Energy to feed the Ghost Bride.
Thinking of the Painting Woman and the Lantern Ghost, Su Jie’s gaze shifted to the big red lantern carried in the Ghost Bride’s left hand and the Double Phoenix Mirror worn on her chest.
Su Jie coughed twice and said, “Why don’t we let them out?”
The Ghost Bride cocked her head to the side. Perhaps the recent feeding had had an effect, as she did not refuse.
After the lantern was released, it floated in mid-air, revealing the tall figure of the Lantern Ghost, and the color of the lantern slowly turned white.
The moment the Lantern Ghost appeared, it stepped back, keeping its distance from the Ghost Bride, its body even trembling slightly.
The Double Phoenix Mirror also flew out from the chest of the Ghost Bride, revealing the figure of the Painting Woman, who likewise trembled and stayed away from the Ghost Bride.
Both being fifth-grade fierce ghosts, the Lantern Ghost and the Painting Woman were clearly in fear of the Ghost Bride.
The Ghost Bride said nothing, but with a glance, the retreating Lantern Ghost and the Painting Woman stiffened.
After a moment’s struggle, the Lantern Ghost obediently went to the Ghost Bride’s side, taking the initiative to light the way with its lantern, acting like an attendant holding a lamp.
The Painting Woman floated behind the Ghost Bride, dutifully fixing the long red wedding dress, like a little maid.
“She’s more impressive than me, the master,” Su Jie said with a wry smile.
Han Ruyan seemed to understand something and turned her head to look at Su Jie, slowly extending her hand toward him, “Husband, I want.”
What do you think?
