After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Those wronged souls seemed to be shrouded in confusion and seemed to be in deep hesitation.

They were like wisps of vague and ethereal shadows, floating slowly in the air. The extremely gloomy atmosphere now became somewhat disordered, like the surface of a lake wrinkled by the breeze.

After a long while, they finally made the decision with great difficulty.

"Ah, thank you for your trust." Chu Lingxiao's words seemed to be full of flattery, and the voice was particularly clear in this quiet environment.

Gu Qingze who was standing aside watched this scene quietly, the doubts in his heart were like boiling water, about to turn into reality.

Did those ghosts really speak? He only saw Ling Xiao talking to himself.

But on second thought, Ling Xiao is a person with that kind of special ability. He can spy on and sense everything. It is normal that he can know everything without conversation.

But he was quite miserable, as he could only infer the content of their conversation based on Ling Xiao's fragmentary words.

After Chu Lingxiao made his solemn promise, the wronged souls circled in the air for a while like a group of mysterious clouds.

Then, they bowed deeply to Chu Lingxiao, as if to express their most sincere and pious gratitude.

Then, they gradually dissipated and turned into starlight as bright as diamonds, disappearing into the sky like an extremely gorgeous galaxy.

The stars twinkled faintly, as if they were the final farewell of these wronged souls.

Afterwards, Chu Lingxiao focused his attention on the ghost cultivator again.

He showed an apologetic smile on his face: "Sorry, I wanted to let you die easily, but... since I promised them, I can only..."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Qingze and signaled with his eyes. Gu Qingze immediately understood and quickly took out a pagoda-shaped spiritual weapon from his storage bag.

The spiritual weapon exuded a mysterious light, as if it contained some pressure.

Gu Qingze circulated his spiritual power and absorbed the ghost cultivator into it. Under the powerful suction of the spiritual weapon, the ghost cultivator was sucked in without any resistance and disappeared in an instant.

He asked, "How many days will she be kept in prison?"

Chu Lingxiao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Seven days, then kill him after seven days."

Gu Qingze nodded: "The speed of time in the tower is different from that in the outside world. One day in the outside world is about one hundred years in the tower. To endure torture every moment for seven hundred years is indeed a great torture."

"Besides... in the tower, she couldn't even commit suicide..."

After he said this, he fell silent, as if he was in deep thought.

Chu Lingxiao looked at him and patted his shoulder. His action seemed to be a teasing, but also seemed to be simply doubtful:

"Qingze, what's wrong with you? Could it be that... you think this punishment is too severe? You can't bear it?"

"That's not the case." Gu Qingze shook his head. "I can feel the pain coming from the souls of those eleven brides. They must have been tortured greatly while being locked up by her."

"That ghost cultivator not only ruined the lives of those brides and took their lives, but also treated them so badly that they could not rest in peace even after death..."

"I even feel that the punishment for her now is too light..."

There was a hint of complicated emotions in Gu Qingze's eyes, and he lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was trying his best to hide the surging emotions.

The long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyelids, making his face look even deeper.

"The reason why I was silent just now is that I suddenly felt that... my spiritual weapon is very practical. It is suitable for imprisoning some death row prisoners. It would be too easy for them to behead them directly. Their death is not a pity. They should also experience the pain."

Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's a pity that this spiritual weapon has too many restrictions. Not only can it only accommodate five people, but it must be closed when the opponent is weak. More importantly, the cultivation level cannot be higher than the Nascent Soul stage."

"Yes." Gu Qingze nodded, "It is because of so many restrictions, otherwise this spiritual weapon would be able to reach the heavenly level."

Chu Lingxiao murmured softly: "Heavenly Stage..."

Then, he thought of something and asked, "Qingze, since the Gu family is a spiritual weapon dealer, and is well-known far and wide, do they have any heavenly spiritual weapons?"

Gu Qingze nodded: "Yes, but this is not created by the Gu family. The Gu family is just a channel, responsible for collecting and then doing transactions."

"After all, a Heaven-level Spiritual Weapon...even the most advanced weapon refiner would find it difficult to make one. Besides, those who have that ability are usually very proud and would like to be their own king. They would not be easily recruited by others."

Chu Lingxiao sighed: "Even so, it's still amazing."

Gu Qingze hugged him, the action was gentle and full of love, and teased: "Why? Why did Ling Xiao suddenly ask this? Could it be that you want a heavenly spiritual weapon as a gift to marry you?"

Chu Lingxiao hit him a little after hearing that, but the force was not strong: "Silly boy, I'm just asking out of curiosity, and... a Heaven Grade Spiritual Weapon is too valuable. Even for the Gu family, Heaven Grade Spiritual Weapons should be rare. It's not appropriate for me to just keep it."

"Also... there won't be a question of who will marry whom between us, right?"

"Yes." Gu Qingze nodded quickly, and then changed the subject, "But...if Ling Xiao is willing, you can marry me."

Chu Lingxiao heard this and rubbed his head vigorously, his action full of pampering: "That's not necessary. Although Qingze looks more gentle, he is still a man after all."

"If I call you Madam or Miss, it may be fun occasionally, but if it happens too often, I believe you will not be used to it."

Gu Qingze smiled and said, "That's true. When we are role-playing in private, we can just call each other more often. If we call each other like this in daily life, people will probably think it's weird."

"You know what, I have actually thought about this before. If Ling Xiao calls me husband..."

Chu Lingxiao heard this and glanced at him with a look of disdain, but his eyes were filled with deep love: "You wish. Except for that time, I will never take the initiative to call you that."
