Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 271: Chapter 186: Time to Go to Bed and Rest (Third Release)

“Hmm!”

Su Jie’s expression changed slightly, he certainly didn’t want to be Ning Cai Chen! At least he was not mentally prepared for that yet.

However, Su Jie clearly misunderstood Han Ruyan’s intention, as she reached out not for him, but for a scroll in Su Jie’s arms.

It was the Heavenly Ghost Map, a trophy obtained from Zhong Shiguan. Since Su Jie had been busy refining a few Mid Grade Magical Artifacts before, he hadn’t had time to study it.

“You want this?”

Su Jie took out the Heavenly Ghost Map, and as Han Ruyan took it, she gently unfolded it.

Once the ghost map was unfurled, the surrounding environment immediately darkened; the map was overlapping with reality.

In Han Ruyan’s boudoir, Su Jie had already experienced this scene: the world changed, entering the environment of the Heavenly Ghost Map, which wasn’t an independent space, but felt more like some kind of barrier.

When the Heavenly Ghost Map was completely unrolled, mounds resembling graves crawled across the earth, with sparse wild grass growing, enveloped by a thick, dark fog.

Because of the intrusion of the living, these mounds one by one cracked open, and fierce ghosts climbed out.

There were hanging ghosts with dishevelled hair, pale faces, bulging eyes, and necks circled with purple strangulation marks.

There were evil ghosts dragging heavy Beheading Blades, towering two meters tall, seemingly executioners in life.

There were ghosts with ferocious faces, wide mouths, and large eyes, with sharp fangs in their mouths and beast horns on their heads, draped in human bones and hair.

These fierce ghosts were of various kinds; some Su Jie had seen recorded in the Nine Nether Ghost Cultivation Technique, while others were completely unfamiliar with varying abilities.

About thirty of these ghosts remained: previously, there had been nearly a hundred, but many were killed in the last battle with Su Jie. Those left were mostly First and Second Grade Fierce Ghosts, which to Su Jie seemed weak and sickly.

Besides them, there were only a few Third-grade fierce ghosts to show rank, and not a single fourth-grade fierce ghost remained.

All of these fierce ghosts were contracted by Zhong Shiguan, and upon his death, they all became feral.

Sensing Su Jie’s presence, the killing mechanism in many ghosts was triggered, and they instinctively moved towards Su Jie, wanting to kill.

But it was at this moment that Han Ruyan’s dead yet luminous eyes glanced over.

The stirring ghosts, as if encountering a natural predator or an emperor, knelt one after another, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Even these lower-grade ghosts, incapable of fear, were being suppressed and influenced by the Ghost Bride’s presence.

Su Jie watched from the side, impressed once again. Although he’d seen it before, when the Ghost Bride had demonstrated this power in the face of an army of ghosts, witnessing it anew still amazed him.

Then, Han Ruyan spread her arms, and one by one, eerie and cold wedding dresses appeared on the ghosts, beginning to seep into their flesh.

The ghosts resisted and struggled; they were still free to follow verbal orders,

But once the wedding dresses had completely penetrated them, they would no longer be able to escape the Ghost Bride’s control.

“Controlling a host of ghosts.”

Su Jie murmured; he still didn’t know much about the Ghost Bride, but his Primordial Spirit could clearly sense that these ghosts’ souls were being reshaped and bound by the Ghost Bride.

It was like tethering wild animals with a collar, making them serve oneself, similar to how Su Jie contracted fierce ghosts.

The only difference was that Su Jie’s contracts required the capacity of his sea of consciousness, limiting the number of fierce ghosts he could contract.

But the Ghost Bride had no such limitation; she was born for this very purpose.

This contracting process was much faster than imagined; the first-grade fierce ghosts were contracted within a few seconds, and the second-grade ones lasted about a minute.

The few third-grade fierce ghosts also merely took about five minutes; they went from resistance, to struggle, and finally to submission, completing a striking transformation in role.

One after another, the wedding dresses merged with the flesh and fully integrated with the fierce ghosts.

“Come here.”

Han Ruyan slowly spoke, her perfectly beautiful and pallid face exuding nobility and elegance, like a natural-born empress giving out her commands. @@novelbin@@

Dozens of fierce ghosts came before Han Ruyan, standing quietly, waiting for her instructions.

“Husband, come with me into the sedan chair,” she said.

Han Ruyan’s gaze shifted towards Su Jie.

In her lifeless eyes, a flicker of emotion appeared, though Su Jie wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination.

As soon as the words left her lips, Han Ruyan tossed the Heavenly Ghost Map suddenly. Instantly, under the influence of the Ghost Bride’s powers, the ghost artifact transformed into a beautiful flower sedan chair.

The sedan chair was adorned with over five thousand pearls and more than three hundred various gemstones. Twelve dragons and phoenixes were carved on the top, with dragons on the front and phoenixes on the sides.

The dragons either held their heads high, stood on all fours, walked, or galloped, each displaying a distinct posture.

The phoenixes were all depicted with outstretched wings in flight, holding red and blue gemstones in their beaks. Surrounding them were emerald carvings of clouds and leaves, as if soaring through the clouds.

The entire sedan chair glimmered, the dragons and phoenixes vibrant, the jewels and gold and jade glistening brightly, and amidst the grandeur, there was a sense of nobility.

The environment suddenly turned chilly, with gusts of Yin wind, and the nearby plants withered, as if all life had been stripped away.

The Ghost Bride possessed the ability to transform fierce ghosts, and the powers of the Lantern Ghost and Painting Woman greatly increased when held by her.

The same principle applied to the Heavenly Ghost Map. The flower sedan chair it transformed into was exceptionally terrifying.

And as the sedan chair was formed, the ghosts began to stir.

Several tall and burly fierce ghosts acted as carriers, lifting the red-topped flower sedan chair.

A Lute Ghost played a four-stringed lute, producing a clear and pleasing melody.

Some Blazing Ghosts used themselves as torches, setting up flares all around the sedan chair to light up the surroundings.

The Lantern Ghost transformed into lanterns, hanging in front of the sedan chair door.

The Painting Woman played a maid, drawing aside the silk curtains of the sedan chair, inviting the bride and groom to board.

Watching this scene, Su Jie was impressed. Not mentioning Han Ruyan’s strength, this pomp, this bearing, was that of a firmly grasped heiress of a big family. Even in death, her procession was just as grand.

Muttering inwardly, Su Jie joined Han Ruyan in the sedan chair.

The space inside the sedan chair was much larger than a small room, adorned anew, approximately a hundred square feet in size, obviously transformed by the powers of the Ghost Bride.

Upon sight, there was a rosewood marble desk, piled with famous people’s calligraphy and treasure inkstones, with various brushes standing in their holders like a forest.

In the room, there was a large Ru Porcelain Flower Vase with peonies, and many paintings and couplets hanging on the walls.

The most eye-catching piece was a step bed in the room, a platform with posts at each corner and wooden railings, forming a shallow gallery.

Compared to the previously lifeless and grave-filled Heavenly Ghost Map.

The flower sedan chair, transformed from the Heavenly Ghost Map, was decorated with all things red paper, but it felt much more comforting to look at.

When Su Jie and Han Ruyan entered the sedan chair, all the fierce ghosts outside bowed to the ground.

The fierce ghosts carried bridal dowries, vermilion-painted and gold-lacquered boxes filled with various dazzling and gleaming jewels, jade, and silk.

The procession was long and majestic, like a golden dragon draped in red, moving grandly for miles.

And within the sedan chair, Han Ruyan took Su Jie’s hand, blew out the candles, and said, “Husband, it’s time for us to go to bed and rest.”
