Chapter 39: The Ghost King

  Xia Yunfei was also extremely puzzled in her heart. If Ao Yuan had thought of something related to the matter, he could have said it directly. But now that he has called himself out alone, if it's not about this matter, Xia Yunfei really can't think of anything else that would make Ao Yuan so serious.

  She couldn't help but pinch her chin, and after deliberating back and forth several times, she finally opened her mouth to ask: "What exactly do you want me to say?"

  Ao Yuan didn't respond immediately as he usually did, instead leaning against the wall outside the restaurant with his eyebrows furrowed in thought. After a while, he finally spoke up, but it wasn't an answer, rather a counter-question: "Xun Xuan, this person, how much do you know about him?"

  Xia Yanfei was taken aback: "Wen Shan? How did you think of asking her?"

  The expression on Ao Yuan's face was a serious one she had never seen before: "She has the aura of Gui Jun, exactly the same as that kid Fang Chenye from last time."

  When she heard Fang Chenyu's name, Xia Yifei suddenly remembered the things in Shezhong, remembered Fang Chenyu's sentence "Then wait for death here! Xia Yifei, do you think you understand this place? I will use the countless evil spirits and ghosts of this place to make you fall into the 18th layer of Yanluo, never to be reborn!", remembered the last wailing of the ten thousand ghosts, and then she timely and appropriately shivered with fear.

  "Are you saying... Wen Shan might end up like Fang Chenyan last time?"

  Ao Yuan shook his head slightly: "Not necessarily, because Fang Chenye has been in contact with the yin-yang dragon jade, but this one called Wen Shan... I'm not sure."

  Xia Yifei didn't continue, she also leaned against the wall, raised her head and let out a deep sigh.

  "Every time I get to this point, I always feel like I'm still being calculated by them." She said, with a deep sense of frustration in her tone, "More importantly, I don't know who they are."

  Ao Yuan looked at her as she searched her body for half a day and finally pulled out a pack of cigarettes. After taking a deep drag, she continued to speak: "Ao Yuan, what exactly is Gui Jun?"

  "Don't you know?"

  "Do you think I would know?" Xia Yifei raised an eyebrow and retorted back, her tone not very good due to her messy mood.

  If it were any other issue, Ao Yuan would probably know nothing about it, but the topic of Gui Jun was one he least wanted to mention.

  And every time Xiaoyan Fei is mentioned, he always remembers the name that Xiaoyan Fei shouted out when she had that dream.

  Leave the blue.

  "But in the end he still faintly opened his mouth: 'Do you still remember the dreams you've had?'"

  Xia Yanfei's pupils shrank to one-twentieth of their normal size when he mentioned the word "dream".

  Those two dreams can be said to be her most terrifying memories.

  If it were just an ordinary nightmare, she could have smiled it off calmly. But those two dreams were too real, the sounds of killing and hacking that lingered in her ears, the pain of being stabbed with a dagger to the heart was all too real, how could she possibly think it was just an ordinary dream?

  And then there was that name she shouted out at the end, a name that left her with no impression yet felt more familiar than anything else...

  "The name you shouted out at the end - Lí Cāng, is Guī Jūn's courtesy name." ào Yuǎn looked at Xià Yún Fēi's momentarily blank expression and still chose to speak calmly, "Guī Jūn Lí Cāng, back then who in heaven and earth didn't know this name."

  At this point, Ao Yuan suddenly remembered the year when he was stabbed in the chest by Liang Nian and his last curse with all his might.

  "The demon king cursed me with all his might before he turned into a feather, and according to reason, he should have dissipated into the world by now. But now......" Ao Yuan said up to here, seemingly considering how to continue, Xia Yunfei finished smoking his last puff and extinguished the cigarette butt in the trash can: "So what's going on now?"

  "Now I suspect that the real Gui Xian has actually been reincarnated as a human."

  Xia Yifei seemed to have given up and smiled, that smile was full of helplessness: "This is great, I've really found a lot more trouble for myself."

  "But you can rest assured, Wen Shan won't be Gui Jun's reincarnation." Ao Yuan walked to her side and gently stroked her long hair, "The aura on her is thick, but it doesn't come from within her bones."

  Xia Yifei was too lazy to argue with Ao Yuan about the trivial matter of messing up his hair at this time: "You mean, Wen Shan might just have a connection with that person?"

  "Or perhaps she has come into contact with objects like the Yin-Yang Dragon Jade that have been imbued with the aura of the Ghost King."

  After listening to his explanation, Xia Yu Fei began to ponder and then threw out a question: "Then do you think Wen Shan will be like Fang Chen Ye last time, coming here with ulterior motives?"

  "Can't say for sure, but based on your understanding of Wen Shan, what do you think will happen?"

  Xia Yanfei smiled bitterly: "Is this something I can decide? The last time Fang Chenye's thing, I still haven't figured it out until now. How did he become so sinister and have a double personality?"

  Ao Yuan looked at her with serious eyes: "No, if she was only tainted by the object, even if there is a hint of Gui Jun's aura, her fundamental nature wouldn't change much."

  "Wen Shan this person..." Xia Yunfei thought with half-lowered eyelids, "She doesn't seem like someone who can keep things hidden, you can tell from what she just said to me."

  Looking at her contemplative face, Ao Yuan smiled slightly: "Why are you thinking so much now? Before everything is clear, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless."

  Xia Yanfei blinked: "That's also true. No, wasn't it you who pulled me out to talk about these things in the first place?!"

  Ao looked up at the sky and tried to change the subject: "Hey, are you full yet? Do you want to go back and eat some more?"

  "Your ability to change the subject needs improvement, I'm serious."

  "...It's none of your business if I'm happy!"

  When Xiaoyan flew back to the restaurant to continue struggling with breakfast, Lan Ruoxue had already finished eating and went back to her room to pack her things. Zhang Xuan put down the red tea in his hand and asked her: "I've found a boat for this trip to sea, using the name of inspection. Did you bring your documents?"

  Xia Yifei nodded: "After you told me, I made it at home, and even if you took it to a professional institution, there would be no problem."

  Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and continued to ask her: "I have an appointment with the tour guide tonight, is there a problem?"

  "You arrange this, and I'll take care of it when the time comes." Xiaoyan picked up her remaining half cup of milk and thought carefully before continuing, "Have you inquired about what's going on locally?"

  "Listen," Zhang Xuan handed her a napkin from beside him, "They say that's where the Green Dragon lies sleeping."

  Xia Yifei was taken aback: "What? Are you sure you're talking about Qinglong?"
