Chapter 1136

Just as he was thinking, the Ghost King's Mansion appeared out of the night.

Xu Yeyue halted her form, like a falling leaf, landing silently within the estate.

Her steps were light and nimble, like a ghost, and in an instant she reached the Ghost King's study.

"Have you heard any news of Yue'er yet?"

From within the study, a weary voice spoke: "This time, Yue'er has been away for two days—has she encountered danger, or has someone angered her again?"

"Master, I do not know. But I have already sent Ghost King's Mansion personnel out to search."

"Sigh!" The Ghost King sighed. "This isn't your fault. Go now."

As he spoke, the door opened, and a young girl in a pale moon-colored robe walked in, smiling brightly.

"Father, I'm back!"

The Ghost King exhaled in relief: "Yue'er, you've finally returned. Did you encounter any danger these past two days?"

"Yes, little sister—if anyone bullied you, tell me, I'll tear them apart." Xiao Guiwang Jing Chengleng's gaze was icy and sharp.

Xu Yeyue was the Ghost King's only daughter, the family's joy.

Whoever dared to bully her would surely stir up a hornet's nest.

"Oh, who could possibly bully me?" Xu Yeyue sniffed. "Enough, brother, go rest—you've got things to discuss with Father!"

Jing Chengleng turned to the Ghost King, seeking his approval.

The Ghost King waved his hand: "Go on ahead. Since Yue'er is back, recall all the search parties—the Emperor's vigilance has grown heavier lately, and the Ghost King's Mansion must not be too ostentatious."

"Too ostentatious."

"Yes."

Jing Chengleng nodded, bowed respectfully, and withdrew from the room, closing the door behind him.

The Ghost King turned to Xu Yeyue and said: "Speak, Yue'er—what is it that requires privacy with your father?"

"Hehe, this is something big—can't let anyone else hear." Xu Yeyue giggled. "Father, guess what I encountered these past two days?"

"Did you meet your ideal groom, and stayed out two days?" The Ghost King chuckled. "I must warn you—I may not be bound by many formalities, but I certainly don't want my Yue'er to be carrying someone's child before marriage."

"Father!" Xu Yeyue's face flushed bright red. "What are you talking about? Where did any ideal groom come from? Where's any child? I'm speaking seriously!"

"Father!" Xu Yeyue's face instantly flushed bright red. "What are you talking about? Where did you get this idea of a perfect groom? Where's this child I'm supposedly carrying? I'm talking seriously!"
