An Chang Shang Xiao

"Maybe it's a bit presumptuous," Meng Po said with some embarrassment, "How...how are you feeling now?"

"Happy!" Pluto said whatever he wanted, without any hesitation, "Of course I'm happy that the beauty is here!"

Granny Meng smiled dryly: "I want to talk to you about something, is it convenient?"

"Tell me?"

"Yes," Granny Meng tried her best to be polite, after all, it was not fair to others, "I have thought about it seriously."

Pluto froze on the spot for a long time without saying a word, he only had one sentence in his mind now: I am so attractive that the beauty fell in love with me at first sight?

He thought about it, and unconsciously raised his hand to stroke his chin.

"That..." Seeing that he didn't answer, Granny Meng suddenly felt annoyed, "If you mind, I'd better go." She nodded before turning around.

"No, no," Pluto quickly reached out and dragged Po Meng back after he realized it, wrapping his palm around Po Meng's wrist, "Come in and tell me."

"..." Po Meng looked at Pluto's hand with some discomfort, "Okay, thank you."

The temperature cannot be transmitted between the two souls.Besides, there is no temperature at all.

Positive Meng was suspicious, frowned slightly, and just kept staring at Pluto's hand.

He wanted to pull his hand back, but he didn't know how to speak.It's so embarrassing now.

I always feel that being held by Pluto in such a way will cause an inexplicable sense of guilt.As for why she felt this way, Granny Meng herself didn't care too much...

Coincidentally, when Po Meng was debating whether to bother Pluto, there was a knock on the door not far away.

A familiar voice came from outside, magnetic and attractive: "Brother, are you there?"

The ghost king's voice sounded weaker than last time, but it was enough to make Po Meng at a loss.

He withdrew his hand and ran around lightly and quickly, trying to find a hiding place.

...Like a cheater.

The reason for doing this is nothing else, Po Meng just subconsciously doesn't want to see the ghost king.

There was no response from the door for a long time, and the ghost king thought that Pluto might have gone out.But in order to be careful not to let Pluto come out and find him gone, Ghost King asked again uncertainly: "Brother? Are you inside?"

Seeing that Granny Meng was in such a panic now, Pluto was also unconsciously agitated, and he immediately yelled out the door: "Ah! I'm not here!"

The ghost king who was about to leave: "..."

Granny Meng almost sprained her left foot when she heard this, and staggered directly on the flat ground.

"Brother," the ghost king thought it was Pluto joking, and raised his hand to push the door, "I'm no longer a three-hundred-year-old kid, it's not that easy..."

"Don't move!" Pluto interrupted him, walking quickly towards the door.

He blocked the door with his body to prevent the ghost king from seeing in, then turned his head and gave Po Meng a wink, and pointed in the direction of the bed, signaling Po Meng to hide there first.

"..." Granny Meng looked at the bed and walked there reluctantly.

Want to hide under the quilt again?

"Brother, what are you doing blocking the door?" The ghost king was a little puzzled when he was suddenly blocked from the door.

"I..." Pluto blocked the ghost king's sight as much as possible, and prevented him from looking into the house, "I think it's too cold in the house, and it's easy to get in the wind when you open the door! You wait outside first!"

"Hmm... okay." Fortunately, the Ghost King listened to Hades very well, otherwise he would be able to detect something wrong soon.

"...Brother." Ghost King hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but said.

"Huh?" Pluto responded stiffly.

"Have you cultivated to the point where you can still feel the temperature after death?"

"…………"

Anyway, it has reached this level, there should be nothing more embarrassing than this, since this is the case...

Pluto thought, planning to smash the jar.Say a few words along the lines of the ghost king, and if you can't continue, just admit it: "Haha, yes, I didn't expect it. Because you haven't reached the soul age, I didn't tell you."

"Oh."

Now, the ghost king didn't believe it at all.

Not because of the words of Hades, but because of the way Hades spoke.He lied like squinting his eyes.

When Pluto said this just now, he didn't look at Ghost King at all.

As for where to look, I am afraid it is the crack in the door that has not been cleaned for hundreds of years.

"Brother," the ghost king didn't intend to expose it, but he didn't want to continue amusing Pluto with this awkward lie, "is there anyone else in the room?"

"..." Pluto simply threw the jar, "Yes."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Po, who was obediently nestled in the quilt listening to their conversation, trembled.

It shook so badly that he hit his head against the wall.Although it didn't hurt, Granny Meng still yelled "Ah" unconsciously.

The voice was not loud, but the ghost king could hear it clearly.And this voice, even if the ghost king has lost his ears, he can recognize it—Meng Po's voice.

"Brother." The ghost king's tone was a little low, he seemed a little angry but trying to restrain himself.

His voice is small and gloomy, enough to give people a sense of oppression:

"Jinwu Zangjiao?"

Pluto heard the obvious contrast, and his eyes became a little strange: "Yes, the beauty came to me on her own initiative."

Po Meng didn't know how the ghost king outside the door was reacting now, but he could feel the two kinds of low pressure coming from the door when he was huddled in the quilt.

"Why don't you want me to know?" Ghost King asked.

Now if Pluto gave him a fabricated reason, he might deny this brother on the spot.

"I don't know." Pluto was telling the truth, he was just panicking with Po Meng.

"..." Ghost King gritted his molars, "Can I go in?"

"Come in." Pluto didn't want it.After all, there is no heart to be guilty of.

After getting the consent, the ghost king walked towards the bed where Po Meng was lying on almost instantly.

The moment the quilt was lifted, Po Meng was already ready to be carried and thrown out the door.

He curled up and waited for a long time, but he didn't even feel a touch on his body.

He restored the original and lay on the bed.

Turning around again, Po Meng met the Ghost King's gaze.

The ghost king's complexion is very bad, as to how bad it is... I'm afraid that if you compare the bottom of the pot with his current complexion, you will think the bottom of the pot looks very white.

The ghost king is in a bad mood now, Po Meng knows.But if you look closely, the ghost king's ugly face doesn't seem to be just because he is staying here.

Po Meng spent a lot of time alone with the ghost king, and he understood the ghost king's temper better than anyone else.If the ghost king is just angry now, it is impossible to do nothing and let him continue lying here.

With just a little attention, Po Meng could find that besides being angry, the ghost king was not in the best condition.

Even a little weak.

"Are you... not feeling well?" Po Meng asked boldly.

As soon as the words came out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. The ghost king looked at Po Meng with dull eyes, and didn't give any answer.

"Did something happen to the Tower of Time, or the funeral parlor?"

"..."

"Is it... lack of energy?"

The Ghost King ticked his index finger twice, which was a little reaction.

"Using to replenish energy...?" Use your mouth.Meng Po timidly said.

"..." The ghost king's eyes changed a little, his closed mouth opened, but he hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Po Meng stood up and approached the ghost king.He moved towards the ghost king in a crawling posture, and he had to twist his waist a few times during the process.

What to do... shameful.Po Meng thought.

He didn't intend to directly help the ghost king replenish his energy here, but the ghost king has always liked to embarrass him and laugh at him.

Then if doing so can make the ghost king calm down, it is also possible.

Po Meng said in her heart: Who told me to be cheap, but I just like you.

The two got closer and closer, and the ghost king stood there, watching the shame and panic in Granny Meng's eyes gradually magnify, and seeing this delicate face close to him.

From the moment when the ghost king came in, Pluto stood aside as if he didn't exist, looking at the ghost king with strange eyes.Including Meng Po.

The beauty throws her arms in front of others, it is impossible for him to continue to not react like this.

Pluto opened his mouth to remind the Ghost King, but he didn't say much, only one sentence.

"Little devil, do you really want to grab it?"

The ghost king was startled when he heard the sound, and took a step back.

He seemed to have just realized: Why... I just acquiesced to Granny Meng's approaching so wildly...

As soon as he withdrew, Meng Po's movements also paused.Afterwards, Po Meng scolded herself silently in her heart.

Bravery, madness...but so what?Isn't it precisely because of such bad qualities that I dare to like the ghost king?

He was the one who refused the ghost king before, not letting the ghost king help him replenish his energy.But now, it is this Meng Po who rejected others, who wants to continue wishful thinking and act recklessly.

Want... just for a moment.

Seeing Granny Meng approaching him again, the ghost king did not continue to retreat, but frowned, using a tone of true and false disgust, as if giving an order.

He said coldly, "Go away."

For a moment, Po Meng's voice seemed to be filled with only this one word.

He raised his head stiffly and looked at the ghost king with blank eyes, seemingly innocent.

What did he just... say?

Ah, he told me to go.

This sentence, no, one word.

Po Meng had heard the Ghost King say it many times, some to herself and some to others.But every time he finished speaking, the ghost king would give him a little room to refute, and played with him as if he tolerated it.

But this time, why did the almost emotionless "roll" seem to really enter my ears.

It is true and irrefutable.

different from usual.This time, it seemed that the ghost king really didn't want to see him again.

……no.don't want.

"I'm sorry." Granny Meng said reflexively before she had time to sit upright.

"Get lost." The ghost king just looked at him indifferently.

"May I apologize?" Granny Meng tried her best to sound calm.

"...Get lost." With this sound, the ghost king seemed to hesitate.

What are you apologizing for?It's clearly your problem, why do you still use such a pitiful tone...

The ghost king never thought about why he thought that Po Meng had done something wrong the first moment he saw Po Meng.

"Little ghost, don't scare the beauty." Pluto leaned his back against the wall by the door, and did not intend to continue to be a qualified bystander, "I will feel distressed."

Po Meng turned to look at him, feeling that this man seemed to be deliberately provoking trouble.

"..." Ghost King closed his eyes for a moment, "I know."

And...it was a success.

"...Ghost King." Granny Meng tidied up her clothes, trying not to annoy the Ghost King because of her disheveled clothes, "Don't be angry."

In the underworld, it is rare to hear Po Meng called "Ghost King".Because Meng Po has always used "he" to represent the ghost king, almost all the souls who know Po Meng know that the "he" in Meng Po's mouth is referring to the ghost king.

"Go away!" The ghost king suddenly shouted.

The vein-like things on the arm were more obvious. His fist was tightly clenched, but he didn't intend to hit anyone.Instead, it seems to be forbearing.

This roar seemed to be desperate, even Pluto was taken aback.

When he quickly came back to his senses and turned to look at Po Meng, Po Meng was already lying on the bed in a daze, with a bewildered bunny-like expression.

Unconsciously, Pluto looked at the ghost king and complained in his heart: You know what a fart.

This time, Po Meng didn't speak any more. He supported himself out of bed with trembling hands, his steps were very unsteady and wobbly.

It seemed that it took him a lot of effort to get to the door. Pluto wanted to help him, but Granny Meng refused.

Granny Meng looked up at him with an uncontrollable expression on her face.Pluto looked at the aggrieved expression on the verge of crying, and even wanted to hold Po Meng in his arms and kiss her to comfort her.

If he hugged Po Meng now, he might not be able to restrain himself, and he would be hated in the end.

"...Be careful." This was probably the only normal thing he could say when he looked at Granny Meng.

……

The wind is cold, and the overcast wind is even colder.

Even if it becomes a ghost, it seems to be painful.

But why...

Po Meng squatted beside the soul-testing bridge, behind him was the manjushahua planted by the ghost king.

There is no soul passing by at this time, if possible, he would like to cry a little bit.Unfortunately, as a soul, he can't even have tears.

He felt that he was hypocritical to the extreme, why would a man who had been dead for so long become so spineless because of a cold "get out".

……useless.

He got up and sat down in a different direction, staring at the manjushahua who was full of eyes: "Why can some people express their love to the fullest... Some people have no chance and only dare to disappear."

……

"Little ghost," Pluto's eyes still fell on the place where Po Meng's figure disappeared, "I found that those souls are right, you are quite ruthless."

He thought about it for a while: "I have no more feelings than me. Such a beautiful woman, it's too late for me to pet her. It's better for you to scold her directly."

In fact, seeing Po Meng sad, Pluto was still a little secretly happy.He could see who Po Meng liked, so even if he was reluctant, he didn't intervene when the King of Ghosts scolded Po Meng.

In this way, Meng Po will start to hate the Ghost King.

Pluto thought: I will coax him later, it will be a matter of course.

The ghost king didn't answer his words immediately, but turned around and squinted at the door.

The moving steps became a little heavy, and he looked down at the ground: perhaps it was due to the loss of energy.

The ghost king has a characteristic, like a shackle.Every rule of the underworld is tightly bound to him like a chain.

One end of the chain is him, and the other end is every soul.

If someone breaks the rules, the ghost king himself will be harmed accordingly.If the violation is serious, it can even consume most of his energy.

Ghost King's Mansion, Impermanence Hall, Funeral Parlor, Time Tower, Soul Testing Bridge.

There are only these five places that can more or less affect the spirit and ability of the ghost king, and the souls generally only gather in these places.So there are more corresponding rules.

The Ghost King's Mansion was the closest to him, so it wasn't a big threat, and the Palace of Wuchang didn't need to worry too much.

The remaining three places are the places where he has the strictest management and the three places that have the greatest influence on him.

He handed over the funeral home and Time Tower to Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang.

Manzhushahua was planted by him, and the Soul-testing Bridge was also closely related to him.Therefore, the one with the deepest connection with him is the Soul Testing Bridge.

He didn't even think about it at the beginning, but directly handed over his biggest weakness to Meng Po.

He still remembered that Granny Meng at that time was much more lively than now.

Judging from the current situation, although the damage is not small, it is not a problem with the Soul Testing Bridge.

Funeral Parlor and Time Tower...

The ghost king thought about it, and finally decided: it was those two ants again.

"Going?" Pluto asked when he saw the ghost king pacing in his direction.

"..." The ghost king turned his head and glanced at him, then went straight to the door.

"I didn't rob you."

Before going out, the ghost king explained this sentence to Hades.

"Well, I can see it." Pluto was still leaning against the wall.

He looked at the Ghost King with squinted eyes and a smile, and said in his heart: I can see that it's been hard for you to hold back your anger.
