Chapter 1137

"Good, good, good! Let's get to the point!"

Ghost King Xu Ruowu was a scholar of heavenly wisdom, proficient in martial arts, celestial astronomy, and miscellaneous disciplines.

He could tell at a glance whether a woman was still a virgin.

He said that only to give a warning, to remind her.

After all, his daughter was utterly wild; if he didn't warn her, she might actually do something like that.

"Speak up—what's so joyful that you're even teasing your father?"

Xu Yeyue chuckled: "Aren't you going to guess?"

Xu Ruowu sighed: "Your father isn't a god—how could I possibly guess?"

"Alright then." Xu Yeyue nodded. "I'm going to tell you now—don't be too shocked, Father."

"Mm." The Ghost King nodded, expression calm. "What haven't I seen? Just speak."

"These past two days, I met a Multiverse Chat Group. It has immortals, demons—even Great Luo Immortals!"

Xu Yeyue spoke at length, leaving the Ghost King utterly baffled.

Had his daughter fallen under some demonic sect's spell and become trapped in an illusion?

Only when Xu Yeyue levitated into the void and stood midair did he believe her words.

"Yue'er, are those things you just said really true? 547" The Ghost King's voice trembled.

Xu Yeyue smirked triumphantly: "Of course. I even listened to Taixuan Brother's teachings and sealed those things in my mind sea. When I become a Heavenly Immortal, I can unseal them—then our Xu family might even produce a Great Luo Immortal!"

"What a marvelous opportunity!"

The Ghost King's calm facade vanished: "This is an earth-shattering opportunity!"

Connecting to the Multiverse means countless immortal scriptures and pills—and perfectly timed, he heard a Great Luo Immortal teach.

Yue'er's fortune is unimaginable.

"So, you've been training outside these past two days?" the Ghost King asked.

Xu Yeyue nodded: "Mm. Such an opportunity is rare—how could I waste it?"

"You're right, Yue'er." The Ghost King nodded. "Then why have you come home today? Do you have something to discuss?"

"Can't I come home just because I have nothing to say?" Xu Yeyue pouted. "Even if I had nothing to say, I'd still come home to train with you, Father."

"Yes, yes, yes." The Ghost King laughed. "I was wrong."

"Still, there is one urgent matter I need to discuss with you." Xu Yeyue's eyes flickered. "In the chat group, there's a Zhu Yuanzhang—he holds the same title as our Emperor."

"But speaking of matters, there is one urgent matter I need to discuss with Father." Xu Yeyue's eyes flickered. "In the chat group, there is a Zhu Yuanzhang who shares a name with our Emperor."

"Meet?" The Ghost King was startled. "Mutual admiration?"

"No." Xu Yeyue shook her head. "Because our world's Emperor humiliated him—he probably wants to regain face."

"Humiliated?" The Ghost King frowned.

Xu Yeyue then recounted the novel's plot.

Fortunately, it was the abridged version—only the story remained—so it sounded reasonably normal.

The Ghost King understood at last: "So that's it. I never thought our Emperor would ultimately fall to the demonic sects. Sigh… Other-worldly Zhu Yuanzhang would surely be deeply displeased."

The Ghost King heard and suddenly understood: "So that's it. I never expected the Emperor would ultimately fall into the hands of the Demon Cult. Sigh. The Zhu Yuanzhang from other worlds, upon seeing this, would surely feel deeply…"

The Ghost King pondered: "Tell me more about the relationships within the chat group—I need to decide."

"Mm." Xu Yeyue nodded and relayed all she knew.

The Ghost King's eyes gleamed: "So many emperors in the group, yet they all strictly follow the rules—they clearly revere the Dao Lord's opinion. We can agree to this. With the Dao Lord present, they'd never dare act recklessly."

"Otherwise, you just need to cry in the group—they'd be crushed."

Xu Yeyue puzzled: "Then why does he want to meet our Emperor? Just to insult him?"

"You're thinking too simply," the Ghost King shook his head. "Insulting him isn't the point—he likely wants to ally with our world's Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Alliance?" Xu Yeyue frowned. "Isn't he supposed to ally with me?"

The Ghost King laughed: "Do you have ambitions for power?"

"You're thinking too simply," the Ghost King shook his head. "Cursing isn't the point—he likely wants to cooperate with our world's Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Cooperate?" Xu Yeyue frowned. "Isn't he supposed to cooperate with me?"

The Ghost King smiled. "Do you have ambitions for power?"

"Exactly. He wants to first establish ties with the Emperor, then negotiate with us." The Ghost King chuckled. "These emperors never think simply. If the Emperor agrees, then we discuss it—doesn't that raise the success rate dramatically?"

"Indeed!" Xu Yeyue nodded. "Neither you nor I ever wanted to be Emperor or rebel. If our Emperor wishes to cooperate with them, we won't oppose it. Zhu Yuanzhang read the novel, learned our nature, and is waiting for this moment! So cunning."

The Ghost King smiled: "Cunning is normal. How else could an ordinary man become Emperor?"

"So that's it. He wants to first establish ties with the Emperor, then come to us," the Ghost King laughed. "These Emperors never think simply. The Emperor's response…"

"Agree," the Ghost King nodded lightly. "But we must not yield on the contract terms—our Xu family's benefits must be secured."

"Indeed!" Xu Yeyue nodded. "Neither Father nor I ever wished to become Emperor or rebel. If the Emperor wishes to cooperate with that side, we certainly won't object."

"Also, tell Zhuang Qingshuang and Bai Fanghua about it," the Ghost King added. "See if they want to go to Great Luo Heaven."

"Ah…" Xu Yeyue was speechless. "Are you trying to make me a madam? I won't do it!"

"You don't have to," the Ghost King waved dismissively. "Do you think Zhu Yuanzhang will abandon using beauties to please the Dao Lord? Once he learns of the chat group and the Dao Lord's existence, he'll do the same—only then, the ones who catch the Dao Lord's attention won't be the Xu family, but the Zhu family."

"Agreed." Ghost King nodded lightly. "However, we cannot yield on the matter of the contract — the benefits due to our Xu family cannot be shortchanged."

Xu Yemeng nodded: "Mm."

"Also, you can say something to those two girls, Zhuang Qingshuang and Bai Fanghua." Ghost King added, "See if they want to go to the Great Luo Heaven."

"Ah..." Xu Yemeng was speechless. "Daddy wants me to be a madam? I wouldn't do it!"

"It doesn't matter if you won't." Ghost King waved his hand. "Do you think Zhu Yuanzhang will give up using beauties to curry favor with the Dao Lord? Once he learns of the chat group and knows of the Dao Lord's existence, he will do it too.

It's just that when the time comes, the one showing face before the Dao Lord won't be the Xu family, but the Zhu family.

Xu Ye Yue fell silent immediately.

Such a thing is indeed something the Emperor could do.

The chance to become an immortal, the fate of a Great Luo cultivator — this is a temptation no mortal emperor could possibly refuse.

"I'll give it a try," Xu Ye Yue sighed. "But Father, you'll have to speak to Bai Fanghua myself. I don't want any ties to that demonic sect witch."
