Chapter 1137: Zhu Yuanzhang

"Fine, fine, fine, let's talk business!"

The Ghost King, Xu Ruowu, was a scholar of heaven and man, proficient in everything from martial arts and celestial stars to miscellaneous studies.

Whether a woman was a maiden or not, he could tell with a single glance.

The reason he said that was purely to give a warning and a reminder.

After all, his own daughter was quite wild; if he didn't remind her, she really might do such a thing.

"Speak, what matter makes you so happy that you're even playing coy in front of your father?"

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

Xu Ruowu sighed: "Your father is no immortal, how could I guess?"

"Alright then." Xu Yeyue nodded, "Then I'm going to say it, don't be too surprised, Father."

"Hmm." The Ghost King nodded, his face indifferent, "What hasn't your father experienced? Just go ahead and say it."

"These past two days, I encountered a Heavens Chat Group. Inside, there are immortals, demons, and even Great Luo Immortals!"

Xu Yeyue recounted the story, leaving the Ghost King looking bewildered.

Had his daughter fallen victim to some Demonic Sect technique and become trapped in an illusion?

It wasn't until Xu Yeyue flew up into thin air and stood in the void that he believed her words.

"Yue'er, what you said just now is actually true?" The Ghost King's voice trembled.

Xu Yeyue hummed proudly: "Of course. I even listened to Brother Taixuan preach the Dao and sealed those things in my sea of consciousness. Once I become a Heavenly Immortal, I can unseal them. In the future, our Xu family

might even produce a Great Luo Immortal!"

"What a great opportunity!"

The composure on the Ghost King's face had long since vanished, "This is simply a heaven-defying opportunity."

Connecting to the heavens, countless immortal scriptures and immortal pills, and even happening to hear a Great Luo Immortal preach the Dao.

Yue'er's fortune was simply unimaginable.

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

Xu Yeyue nodded: "Yes. How could I waste such a rare opportunity?"

"Yue'er is right." The Ghost King nodded, "Then you came back today, is there something the matter?"

"Can't I come home if there's nothing wrong?" Xu Yeyue protested, "Even if there's nothing, I want to come home and have Father cultivate with me."

"Yes, yes, yes." The Ghost King laughed, "It is Father who spoke incorrectly."

"However, speaking of matters, there is indeed one urgent thing to discuss with Father." Xu Yeyue's eyes shifted, "There is a Zhu Yuanzhang in the chat group who shares the same identity as our Emperor. He wants to meet our Emperor."

"A meeting?" The Ghost King was surprised, "Sympathy between peers?"

"No." Xu Yeyue shook her head, "It's because our world's Emperor caused him to lose face; he probably wants to get back at him."

"Lost face?" The Ghost King was puzzled.

Xu Yeyue then recounted the contents of the novel.

Fortunately, the novel was an abridged version containing only the story, so it sounded normal enough.

The Ghost King listened and suddenly realized: "So that's it. I didn't expect the Emperor to eventually be defeated by the Demonic Sect. Sigh... Zhu Yuanzhangs from other worlds would indeed feel very unhappy seeing this."

"Yes." Xu Yeyue nodded, "Should I agree?"

The Ghost King pondered: "Tell me more about the relationships between everyone in the chat group, so I can make a decision."

"Hmm." Xu Yeyue nodded and shared the information she had learned.

The Ghost King's eyes brightened: "With so many emperors in the chat group, yet they are very disciplined; it seems they care deeply about the Dao Lord's opinion. We can agree to this; with the Dao Lord present, they would never dare to act recklessly."

"Otherwise, you would only need to go to the group and cry a little, and they would be in big trouble."

Xu Yeyue was puzzled: "Then what does he want to see our Emperor for? Is it just to curse a few times to vent?"

"Yue'er is thinking too simply." The Ghost King shook his head, "Cursing isn't the point; he probably just wants to cooperate with the Zhu Yuanzhang of our world."

"Cooperate?" Xu Yeyue was suspicious, "Wouldn't he cooperate with me instead?"

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

"No!"

"And me?"

"Neither do I."

"That's why. He wants to establish a connection with the Emperor first, and then discuss things with us." The Ghost King laughed heartily, "These emperors, their thoughts are never simple. If the Emperor agrees, and then we discuss it, wouldn't the success rate be much higher?"

"That's true!" Xu Yeyue nodded, "Neither Father nor I have any intention of being Emperor, nor do we want to rebel. If the Emperor is interested in cooperating with them, we certainly wouldn't object. This Zhu Yuanzhang fellow read the novel, learned our temperament, and is waiting here! How cunning."

The Ghost King laughed: "Cunning is normal. Otherwise, how could an ordinary person become an emperor!"

Xu Yeyue asked: "Then should we agree?"

"Agree." The Ghost King nodded gently, "However, the matter of the contract cannot be compromised; the benefits due to our Xu family cannot be less."

Xu Yeyue nodded: "Hmm."

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

"Ah..." Xu Yeyue was speechless, "Father wants me to be a procuress; I won't do it!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't." The Ghost King waved his hand, "Do you think Zhu Yuanzhang will give up on using beauties to please the Dao Lord? Once he knows about the chat group and the existence of the Dao Lord, he will do it too. Only then, the one showing their face to the Dao Lord won't be the Xu family, but the Zhu family."

Xu Yeyue fell silent.

Such things were indeed what an emperor could do.

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

"Ah..." Xu Yeyue was speechless. "Father, you want me to act as a madam? I won't do it!"

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

It's just that when the time comes, the one gaining favor with the Dao Lord won't be the Xu family, but the Zhu family."

Xu Yeyue fell silent at once.

This kind of thing was indeed something an emperor could do.

The opportunity to ascend to immortality and the fate of a Great Luo powerhouse were temptations that a mortal emperor absolutely could not refuse.

"I will try," Xu Yeyue sighed. "However, Father, you should be the one to speak to Bai Fanghua. I don't want to have any involvement with that demonic girl from the Demon Sect."
