Chapter 327: Forever bearing the Su name!

~7 min read 1,224 words

Su Ming nodded and said no more.

He understood Magu's words.

As long as she hasn't yet had her soul scattered.

Then the flag on Great River Mountain cannot be taken down by anyone.

Forever bearing the Su name!

Crazy enough, and loyal enough.

Bzz—!

Su Ming pulled two stools out of a dimensional space.

He and Magu sat down in turn.

The atmosphere was a bit like a street‑side skewer stall.

"Although the altar count was reset, which is a bit of a loss, this batch of loot…"

"But this reward of mine… actually seems pretty good?!"

Su Ming's mouth twitched upward slightly.

In his Dimensional Reduction Warehouse, four items lay there.

Three golden light orbs!

All are Legendary grade!

And surrounding the central orb, which was red to the point of blackening, floated up and down.

The aura it emitted caused the surrounding space to warp slightly.

Myth grade!

"Let's open a blind box for fun first."

Su Ming reached out and grabbed the leftmost golden orb.

Bzz—!

The light shattered, and a chilling, bone‑cold mist instantly spread.

In his hand appeared a shabby bronze lantern.

The wick wasn't oil.

It was a ball of eerie blue ghost‑flame.

It swayed in the wind, yet could not be blown out.

Name: Ming River Soul‑Calling Lamp

Quality: Legendary

Function 1: Break delusion! Wherever the lantern shines, all disguises, illusions, and invisible units cannot hide.

Function 2: Ignite soul! When actively triggered, it releases Ming River Lamp Oil, dealing continuous burning damage to the target's soul. If the target is in Fear, the damage doubles.

Function 3: Guide! In any maze, illusion, or Rule‑type predicament, the lantern will point out a way out.

Karma Overview: Taken from the lighting device on the ferry‑man's prow in Yellow Springs! It has illuminated the return paths of countless lost souls, and has witnessed the tragic fall of deities! What it burns is not oil, but the resolve of the lost.

"This sounds… kinda awesome?!"

Su Ming's eyes lit up.

The lantern‑bearer already sounds cool!

Especially that Guide function.

He always feels that it'll be awesome from now on!

"Come on, open another!"

Satisfied, Su Ming reached back and grabbed the second golden orb.

Bzz—!

It exploded in response.

This time, there was no chilling cold.

Instead, a suffocatingly rich sweet floral scent instantly filled the space.

Within the fragrance was a decaying, bloody smell.

A scarlet oil‑paper umbrella slowly fell into Su Ming's hand.

The canopy's material was unknown.

It was red as if just scooped from a pool of blood.

On it, vast swaths of blooming lycoris were painted.

As light shifted, the flowers writhed and blossomed slowly.

The handle was a piece of white bone, warm and jade‑like.

Holding it, one could even feel a faint pulse emanating from within.

Name: Yellow Springs Lycoris Umbrella

Quality: Legendary

Function 1: Absolute Domain! Unfolding the canopy turns a hundred‑meter radius into Yellow Springs Path; within this domain, all non‑ally units suffer a 30% suppression of all attributes, and continuously stack Corpse Poison.

Function 2: Blood‑sacrifice Block! When faced with a lethal attack, the Lycoris Umbrella automatically consumes stored vital blood to block.

Function 3: Flowers Bloom Beyond! Actively releasing the umbrella's flower spirit summons a Ferry Corpse Puppet to aid in battle; the puppet's power depends on the umbrella holder's spirit.

Karma Overview: It was once the beloved item of a ghost concubine in the Underworld; the umbrella's frame was taken from her lover's leg bone. She waited at the Yellow Springs Path for three thousand years, never meeting a person, but witnessing a divine war. As long as the umbrella stands, love remains; when it breaks, the soul vanishes.

…

"Yo?"

Su Ming raised an eyebrow, his fingertips gently rubbing the white‑bone handle of the umbrella.

This thing…

It seems more artistic, and also more romantic!

Moreover, in conventional combat, it appears even more valuable!

AOE debuff aura.

Life‑saving invincible shield.

It can also sway people into brawls!

Offense and defense integrated, domain warfare—truly perfect.

"What a pity."

Su Ming toyed with it a couple of times, then glanced at his own attire.

He's quite the big gentleman.

When fighting, he props up the red umbrella embroidered with flowers…

The style feels a bit off.

It looks as if he's about to go to West Lake to find Xu Xian.

"Here you go."

Su Ming didn't hesitate at all; his wrist twitched.

The terrifyingly oppressive Legendary ghost artifact went straight into Magu's hands.

The throbbing sensation of linked bloodlines surged up his arm straight to the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Magu's pupils contracted.

She is a ghost entity, and knows the value of this thing better than Su Ming.

The aura emitted by the otherworldly flowers on the umbrella's canopy…

Even surpasses her prime by an entire dimension!

According to their classification, this is… a King's artifact?!

No, it might even be…

Imperial artifact prototype!

"King?!"

Magu's hand trembled slightly.

She could probably guess Su Ming's meaning.

But precisely because of that…

"King, this… this is too precious!"

Even if their relationship is still okay now.

Even if the King differs from other superiors, not just about exploitation, use, or devouring.

No one has ever taken such a fine treasure.

And casually gifted it to a subordinate who was only recently subdued, not even particularly strong!

"Precious?"

Su Ming sneered, crossing his legs on the chair back.

"Tell me, whose person are you?"

Magu was startled, then lowered her head, speaking devoutly.

"I… am yours."

"Body and soul, all belong to you."

"Then it's settled."

Su Ming spread his hands, his tone matter‑of‑fact.

"You are mine."

"This vast river and mountain are mine."

"The ghost domain to be established in the future is also mine."

He stood up.

He reached out and gently patted that drooping skull again.

"My stuff, even if it rots in a warehouse, is still my rot."

"If you use it, it's used on my territory, protecting my people."

"Giving it to you is giving it to myself."

"Is this account hard to settle?"

Magu nodded, saying nothing more.

No need.

The King gave her dignity, gave her strength, and also gave her hope of attaining the Dao.

Thus this life, this thread of soul, naturally belong to the King.

Even if ahead lies a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.

As long as that man points, he will hold the umbrella, smile, and walk in.

Turning that sea of fire into flat ground.

Su Ming's consciousness once again slipped into the Dimensional Reduction Warehouse.

There, the final golden light sphere still floated silently.

Huh…

Su Ming rubbed his hands, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

Even though I've already opened two top‑grade ones.

But this is like buying a lottery ticket.

Having hit twenty million, who wouldn't want to win a special prize again?

Human desire is like usury; the more it rolls, the larger it becomes.

The lamp's ready, the umbrella's ready…

This Huangquan series gadget, its quality is indeed solid.

Su Ming licked his somewhat dry lips.

What will this final one be?

Come!

Next, the moment to witness Euro Emperor!

Su Ming had no hesitation at all.

His right hand formed a claw, with a burst of ferocity, and he lunged straight at that ball of golden light!
