"I..." Jiang Linger frantically thought of an excuse.
Got it!
Her eyes brightened, and she began to speak fluently, "I’ve heard that the Ghost King of Lanling’s power is boundless and imnsely strong, commanding thousands of ghosts. I greatly admire this, so I wanted to co and pay a visit."
She looked sincerely at Gu Shengyin, striving to make the other believe that what she said was true.
Gu Shengyin curled her lips into a smile with an unclear aning.
Her laugh was extrely light, yet the sound was crystal clear as it reached Jiang Linger’s ears.
Jiang Linger’s gaze involuntarily fell on the silver mask covering her face, revealing only a beautiful facial outline and perfectly shaped red lips.
Even so, it didn’t hinder people’s imagination, pondering what kind of stunning beauty lay beneath the obstructive mask.
Deceived by rumors!
Jiang Linger thought bitterly.
In the rumors, the Ghost King of Lanling favored wearing red robes and an eerie mask, a fierce and evil ghost!
Due to the infrequency with which outsiders t this Ghost King, these were the only pieces of information they knew.
But it didn’t prevent them from speculating.
Thus, in their speculation:
The image of the Ghost King of Lanling — must be ferocious!
The personality of the Ghost King of Lanling — must be brutal!
The appearance of the Ghost King of Lanling — must be hideous!
The gender of the Ghost King of Lanling — must be male!
...
"Really?" A gentle voice interrupted Jiang Linger’s thoughts.
Jiang Linger couldn’t help but look up, discovering the other was again beside her.
Gu Shengyin lightly lifted Jiang Linger’s chin, "Don’t lie to . You should know, my temper isn’t so good—"
Though the words were gentle and soft without much nace, Jiang Linger couldn’t help but shiver.
She forced herself to appear calm and smiled, "How could I? I never lie."
"Is that so?" Gu Shengyin leaned closer, her face moving toward Jiang Linger, getting closer and closer, almost touching...
Jiang Linger couldn’t move a muscle, and she involuntarily closed her eyes.
A strange thought suddenly erged in her mind, "Could this Ghost King of Lanling possibly like... girls?"
"Open your eyes and look at ." The nearby voice made her reluctantly open her eyes.
The other was very close, but they hadn’t touched.
Jiang Linger’s attention was entirely drawn to the other’s dark eyes.
She had never seen such beautiful eyes; they looked like the purest, most mysterious nightti sky, seemingly carrying the most deadly attraction, which would entice one to fall into them without escape.
Jiang Linger’s face visibly turned red.
But the next mont, the other’s cold voice made her body tremble.
"Jiang Linger, young lady, surely you don’t know, I have a secret technique called Heart Probe."
It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured down from the top.
Jiang Linger’s whole body stiffened.
Heart Probe.
Wouldn’t that an all her thoughts were known to the other?
Then her purpose here, this Ghost King of Lanling, surely knows completely!
It’s over.
Jiang Linger closed her eyes in disappointnt.
Surely she wouldn’t let her go now.
"Why are you closing your eyes?"
Jiang Linger opened her eyes, sowhat surprised to see Gu Shengyin had already let her go.
Huh?
She didn’t kill her?
