Chapter 168

~8 min read 1,454 words

Liu Baoyu calculated so much.

The process of Lady Liu transforming into a ghost dragon was already irreversible.

But...

What if Lady Liu is no longer Lady Liu?

If the method of Asking for a Title is used to turn Lady Liu into another form, could the dragon transformation be stopped?

This is currently just a conjecture.

Because Wu Xian doesn't understand Asking for a Title, he doesn't know if this is feasible.

But Lady Liu understands!

In the lingering obsession seen by Guan Daorong, Lady Liu used the method of Asking for a Title to turn the driver into a snake-man monster. Therefore, whether this method is feasible can only be discussed by letting Lady Liu participate.

"It... it can!"

Lady Liu was surprised at first, then her expression became complicated.

She regarded these humans as the culprits who sent her into the abyss, so she never thought of relying on these humans to save her.

But now these humans proposed letting her ask them for a title, which made her feel strange.

After hearing the answer from Lady Liu, this method officially entered the backup list. Now everyone has three choices.

The first is to stay in the mourning hall and wait for the dragon transformation to end.

The second is to shift the disaster after the dragon transformation ends.

The third is to stop the dragon transformation ceremony.

Which path to choose has a great impact on their subsequent survival.

While everyone was still discussing.

Wei Dian looked at Su Mi twice and suddenly spoke.

"Is there any need to choose? I choose the third one. We should fight no matter what, but compared to fighting the ghost dragon and fighting Liu Baoyu, which one do you think has a higher survival rate?"

Everyone weighed it.

They all felt it was better to kill Liu Baoyu.

Not because of the loot, nor because they wanted to stand on the side of kindness, but because since entering the Fudi, they had always been like Liu Baoyu's puppets.

So they wanted to vent their anger on Liu Baoyu!

The method was decided.

Everyone made the final choice.

In this world.

Asking for a Title is not a legend.

As long as they are demons with enough accumulation, they can all ask humans for a title.

What is obtained from Asking for a Title is not a simple change in appearance, but another body for the demon, which is almost as important as their original body.

The process of Asking for a Title is not complicated. The demon only needs to ask the question "What do I look like to you" to a human after being prepared. After this, it counts as handing their future over to the human.

So when ordinary demons ask, they will add some restrictions to the question.

"What do I look like to you, a human or a demon?"

This way, even if they say it looks like a demon, at least there is no loss.

Of course, Asking for a Title also has an impact on humans.

Some lucky ones, when facing a demon and saying it looks like a human, then the demon can transform into a human form, and the human may also receive the demon's gratitude and obtain certain benefits.

Some unlucky ones with foul mouths might say to the demon: "You look like a **."

At this time, the demon is in bad luck, so they won't let this human who speaks dirty words have an easy time...

Therefore, just saying it looks like a human to an ordinary demon has no negative impact on humans.

But if it is a demon that has done many evil deeds, or if they say it looks like an immortal god, then the human will have to bear the karma, and the outcome will definitely not be good.

Having said that.

The cultivation of the servants of the Liu Mansion is not enough for Asking for a Title. The reason they look like humans is only because of the demon arts taught by the "Master."

The Liu family's Lady Liu and her family also didn't ask for a title because they were determined to transform into a dragon.

Lady Liu still had a chance to ask for a title.

Although for Lady Liu, asking for a title to become a human counts as regression, she had no other choice now. Therefore, after preparing for a while, Lady Liu asked Wu Xian that question.

She looked at Wu Xian with anticipation.

"What do I look like to you, a human or a snake?"

Wu Xian answered with a smile.

"Like a human."

In an underground cave of the Liu Mansion, Liu Baoyu was whistling happily.

When he was young.

He once hid in a corner and saw with his own eyes the Master teaching Lady Liu the fundamental method of stealing life, and asked her to spread the ordinary life-stealing method. This way, every time a demon learned the life-stealing method, it would increase a portion of her power.

At that time, he had no ambition, only expecting Lady Liu to give him a life-stealing method.

But after waiting for a long, long time, until the father's generation had exhausted their lifespan and died of old age, he still didn't see Lady Liu pass the life-stealing method to him. So this expectation turned into resentment.

Although Lady Liu told him to wait.

But he didn't want to wait until death like the father's generation.

So Liu Baoyu secretly found the Master, wanting the Master to also pass him a fundamental method.

But the Master said.

He could only plant one seed, and this seed had already been given to Lady Liu. Before the seed sprouted, he couldn't sow other seeds.

However, he could help Liu Baoyu make Lady Liu transform into a ghost dragon. As long as Lady Liu was no longer in this world, he could plant a new seed...

Therefore, the conspiracy against Lady Liu began.

This plan was very complicated. Letting Lady Liu sleep and what Wu Xian and the others experienced were just a small part of the plan.

But now, the plan succeeded.

This place is very hidden. No matter how the ghost dragon tosses, it can't hurt him. Just wait until the fifth watch, and he can go find the Master to get a new seed...

"One day I will transform into an evil dragon, hehe..."

Just when Liu Baoyu was imagining the future, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Even if the Great Grandmother could endure it, she should have started making trouble by now. Why is there no movement at all?

Unease rose in Liu Baoyu's heart. Could it be that the dragon transformation failed!

He transformed into a black python, crawled out of the shelter, and ran quickly to the mourning hall, only to see something that made him feel terrified from the bottom of his heart.

Inside the mourning hall.

A warm bonfire was burning.

The mourning hall had no door and was quite cold. Now that there was no need to guard the spirit, they could burn the coffin lid to keep warm to their heart's content.

Everyone was sitting in a circle around the bonfire, chatting harmoniously.

On the inner side closest to the room, a beauty wearing a white cheongsam was sitting high. She was Lady Liu who had finished Asking for a Title. Wu Xian was sitting beside her, with the wooden fish stool under Lady Liu.

While chatting.

They saw Liu Baoyu running in angrily.

As soon as he saw Lady Liu, he looked like he had seen a ghost, shouting "impossible" in fear and running far away, running like a clown, which made everyone laugh.

Not long after running away.

Liu Baoyu came back again with a gloomy face, bringing four servants of the Liu Mansion and Steward Hu, all full of murderous intent.

Wu Xian covered his face and sighed.

"This little trick really couldn't be hidden..."

They weren't actually chatting very harmoniously.

There is a price to pay for forcibly stopping the dragon transformation ceremony by using the Asking for a Title bug.

After Lady Liu transformed into a human, she forgot many things, and even her power almost disappeared. Now she is just an ordinary little demon.

The reason Wu Xian gave up the wooden fish stool and put on that harmonious appearance was to scare Liu Baoyu away, making him afraid to attack, so that everyone could survive until dawn and leave this Fudi.

But judging from the expression on Liu Baoyu's face, he still saw through these little tricks.

A great battle was inevitable.
