Chapter 232: , the Ghost King wants to welcome the Princess with a feast to dispel her startled spirits?

That city boy lectured the two gatekeeping ghosts, saying: "This treasure is not something you can know; nor is it something your fate can bear."

The bigger the frog, the more it eats.

If something shouldn't be known, don't inquire about it; that's the principle of being human.

Although you have become ghosts now, you used to be human. This simple principle, you should understand, right?

The two gatekeeping ghosts, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, were speechless.

Being speechless indicates tacit agreement.

Although they are ghosts, weren't their former selves also not transformed from humans?

Humans can become ghosts, ghosts can also become **. The boundary between ghosts and humans is originally not very clear.

People sometimes do ghostly deeds; ghosts sometimes do human affairs.

Ghosts? People? In this world, ghosts and humans are mixed, making truth and falsehood hard to distinguish.

The luan bird and the phoenix fly together; who can tell which is the luan and which is the phoenix?

Swallows, sparrows, and crows roost together in the trees; who can say clearly that the swallow is good and the crow is good?

By the roadside, fragrant flowers bloom and poisonous grasses grow. Do the fragrant flowers grow among the poisonous grasses, or do the poisonous grasses grow among the fragrant flowers?

Who in this world can distinguish fragrant flowers from poisonous grasses?

Only God knows truth from falsehood. The Almighty God, without cease, monitors the human heart and judges the world.

Those two gatekeeping foul ghosts, after receiving the gemstone given by the city boy, quickly summoned the Ghost Affairs Department Head from Ghost Island.

Furthermore, they did some human deeds: in front of their ghost leader, they spoke a few kind words to the two young men and women.

This ghost, when the Classic of Rites arrives, can turn the millstone for people, and does so very diligently.

The Ghost Department Head came, with a cold ghostly face and sideways ghostly eyes.

"I heard you have a precious gift to give me? Hand it over quickly! Otherwise you'll suffer! Those who know the times are outstanding! Otherwise, I'll charge you with illegal cohabitation, prostitution…… plus whatever other crimes……"

The Ghost Department Head spoke in a yin-yang tone, with ghostly voice and air, to the two men and women wrongfully detained, spouting a big load of nonsense and rubbish.

Perhaps this Ghost King had just been drinking and doing bad deeds at the wine bar; otherwise where would all this talk of wine, farts, dirty words, foul language, lewd talk, and nonsense come from?

"Ghost Department Head, are you listening? Do you know who I am?" the Princess spoke first.

"Dog..." the Ghost Department Head was about to utter vulgarities, but seeing the beautiful Princess, he thought better of it, quickly changed his words, saying: "Who are you? We are investigating!"

"Miss, I am the daughter of the Forest King!"

"The Forest King wants to send me a thousand gold?" the Ghost Department Head misheard.

The Princess corrected the Ghost King's words, repeating with emphasis: "Miss, I am the Forest King's daughter! The daughter of the Forest Kingdom!"

The Ghost Department Head, after hearing the Princess's words, examined her up and down, then said: "You're fabricating mythical stories to swindle children, huh? I don't see any great fortune in you; you don't look like the Forest King's daughter, the Princess."

The Ghost Department Head, full of ghostly airs, said to the Princess.

"Don't you see how I don't resemble the Forest King's daughter, the Princess?"

The Princess thought, "This ghostly thing, how can it be so ghostly?"

"I see nothing resembling you anywhere, but let's see how handsome you are………"

Seeing the Ghost Department Head's lewd, foul words, the Princess said to him: "You dare to be even slightly disrespectful toward me, and if my royal father finds out, he will have your superiors flay your skin, pull out your tendons, and throw your meat to the dogs."

"Who dares to speak to me like this?"

"I, the Princess of the Forest Kingdom, Miss! How about this? Quickly release me, and you'll get something good! I'll have my royal father speak a few kind words to your superior, so you can be promoted higher and given broader authority. How about it? Satisfied?"

The Princess, truly a worldly person, speaks in a well-organized, coherent manner.

Furthermore, she can grasp the mindset of officials: minor officials fear major ones, all officials fear losing their hats; minor officials fear complaints, major officials fear accusations...............

The Ghost Department Head was left dumbfounded by the Princess's words: "The little girl I've detained has a big attitude; she seems to have some background. If she really is the Forest Kingdom's some-thousand-gold, losing my hat would be trivial—I might not even be able to remain a ghost."

Cast into the eighteen levels of hell, ghosts cease to be ghosts, humans cease to be humans—only then is life truly miserable.

Better to be safe.

Thinking this, the Ghost Department Head, with a face full of ghostly airs, said: "Princess, I, the Ghost Department Head, am blind to gold and jade. I have wronged you and committed offenses; please forgive me."

Ox-Head and Horse-Face ghosts, quickly release the Forest Princess, set out wine and prepare a feast to welcome the Princess and dispel her startled spirits……………………
