This, perhaps Lord Lan Ling doesn’t actually dislike that Highness of the Phoenix Clan as much as everyone thinks?
On the contrary, judging by Lord Lan Ling’s deanor, it seems that the affections are not one-sided!
Even though she didn’t know why her Lord would put on such a cold deanor, Ah Jin’s heart was nevertheless on edge.
Why would Lord Lan Ling allow her to know such a secret thing?
She was a bit nervous.
Gu Shengyin looked at the stiff body of the female ghost below and felt helpless.
She could probably guess Ah Jin’s thoughts, but even so, she was even more speechless.
When she didn’t tell her, the other would worry and co to advise her.
Now that she told her, the other was even more worried.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave."
With the personality of the Ghost King of Lanling, she wouldn’t personally explain anything to a subordinate.
Ah Jin had already been frightened enough today, and Gu Shengyin didn’t want to continue scaring her—though she hadn’t intended to scare her at all.
In another month, it would be the annual Ghost Market in the Yin Yang Realm.
On normal days, the Yin Yang Realm is completely isolated from the Human Realm, and unless one is a practitioner like the Taoist priest in green robes, ordinary people can’t enter it.
But the Ghost Market is different; on that day, there will be a clever connection between the Yin Yang Realm and the Human Realm.
Of course, this doesn’t an that everyone can see and enter the Yin Yang Realm.
Only those with a yin constitution, and so specific individuals, might coincidently enter.
The ghost stories circulated in the human world co from this.
On the day of the Ghost Market, it is forbidden to cause any conflicts and bloodshed in the Yin Yang Realm.
This is the most important festival for ghosts and goblins, and no one is allowed to destroy it.
Of course, the ghosts and goblins don’t like humans coming to their world at this ti. Usually, if such an unfortunate person does appear, they’d prank them by revealing their true form to scare them a bit, and then "invite" the person to leave.
As for what the poor human thinks after waking up, that’s not sothing the ghosts and goblins consider.
Regarding the Ghost Market, all the ghosts and goblins look forward to it.
On that day, all the ghosts and goblins transform into their most beautiful forms, decorating the entire Yin Yang Realm in brilliant lights.
This is the grandest celebration for all the ghosts and goblins.
The day quickly arrived.
As the true ruler of this piece of the Yin Yang Realm, Gu Shengyin naturally had to attend in grand attire.
She changed out of her usual unchanging red clothes into the ceremonial attire carefully prepared by the maids—still a bright red color, but much more solemn and formal. The long outer robe was edged with gold, trailing across the white jade-paved floor, noble and magnificent.
Her casually draped black hair was neatly bundled up with a golden hairpin, and a golden crown symbolizing her status sat atop her head.
She sat within the resplendent Eight Treasures Fragrant Sedan, much like a king inspecting their realm, observing the bustling scene around her.
The streets and taverns were festooned with bright lanterns, and even ghosts and goblins who usually never left their hos were out in splendid attire. The taverns were filled with drinking patrons, countless street vendors called out from their stalls, and many beautifully dressed young won strolled the streets hand in hand, lanterns in tow.
If not forewarned, who would have thought that such a scene was actually the Ghost Market?
