Jiang Linger only felt a blur of shadows before her eyes, and the Female Ghost in Red who was several yards away just moments ago appeared right beside her.
She didnāt have the usual chilling aura of ghosts and goblins; in fact, Jiang Linger caught a faint, alluring scent from her.
Not sure what spice created it, but it smelled particularly nice.
Jiang Linger greedily took a deep breath, completely ignoring the unusual speed of the otherāsuch speed, how could ordinary ghosts and goblins possess it?
"Do you really think Iām beautiful?" Gu Shengyin leaned down towards Jiang Linger.
Her stature was a bit taller than the other, so as she leaned down slightly, she was face to face with Jiang Linger, their faces mere inches apart.
Confronted by Gu Shengyinās cold yet alluring face at such close range, Jiang Lingerās face flushed.
She completely forgot that the other was a ghost she detested, and her mind turned to mush, feeling as if something was jumping rapidly in her heart.
After a while, she stepped back several paces as if she had stepped on something.
Only when she felt the distance between them was normal did she look at Gu Shengyin with a blush: "Are all ghosts and goblins so... so..."
She wanted to find a suitable adjective but found herself suddenly tongue-tied.
After pondering for a long time, Jiang Linger finally squeezed out a complete sentence: "...so enthusiastic?"
Gu Shengyin looked at her with a smile: "No, Iām only enthusiastic about pretty little girls."
The face Jiang Linger had just cooled down instantly turned red again because of her words.
Clearly, the other was a female ghost... Why was she blushing!
Gu Shengyin looked at the otherās flushed cheeks, thinking to herself that they must feel nice, but...
Regretfully, she glanced at Jiang Linger and thought better of it; touching her might frighten her.
After taking several deep breaths, Jiang Linger seriously asked: "Do you really know where the Ghost King of Lanling is?"
Gu Shengyin nodded.
Jiang Lingerās eyes lit up: "Then can you take me to find him?"
Gu Shengyin pretended to hesitate: "Well, itās not impossible..."
Looking at Jiang Lingerās delighted eyes, she asked, "But, why do you want to find the Ghost King of Lanling?"
Luckily, Jiang Linger wasnāt foolish enough to say too much and replied, "Just take me there."
Gu Shengyin spoke lightly: "Do you know where this place is?"
Jiang Linger had merely wandered here; how could she know?
Gu Shengyin said: "The grand hall in front of you is the Ghost King of Lanlingās palace, oh~"
Jiang Lingerās expression turned solemn upon hearing this.
But she quickly realized something was amiss; the Female Ghost in Red seemed to have emerged from this hall.
Jiang Linger looked at Gu Shengyin with suspicion.
Gu Shengyin let her scrutinize.
This girl finally realized something was off.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Linger soon looked at her with comprehension: "I knew a beautiful ghost like you couldnāt be ordinary. You came out of the Ghost King of Lanlingās palace and claim you can find the Ghost King. You must be the Ghost Kingās concubine, right?"
Gu Shengyin: "..."
Your analysis is so reasonable Iām left speechless!
Over here, Jiang Linger continued: "Donāt worry, I donāt need you to take me there. You just need to tell me where the Ghost King of Lanling is, and Iāll look for him myself, I assure you I wonāt let your identity slip."
Gu Shengyin responded softly: "No need, sheās right beside you."

From the eighth to the sixth to the fifth of the night watch periods, Iām already a discarded branch.
Here I am, a short branch, lying flat and waiting to be hit; itās best if you throw moon tickets at me, donāt be gentle, throw hard!
The remaining three night watch periods will see you in daylight~ Meow~
