"I want to eat his horse..."
"Fool, horses aren’t as tasty as humans! Always staying in the Underworld, I haven’t smelled a living person in too long... It’s really fragrant..."
"Tonight Ghost Gate Pass opens, Lord King Yama arrives. We little ghosts can finally taste the flavor of living humans... Heh heh..."
Little ghost?
Indeed.
Gu Jiao acted like she didn’t hear any of these chilling conversations and continued to walk deeper into the jungle with Black Wind King.
After just a few steps, a large net suddenly fell from above her.
Gu Jiao swiftly drew her whip from her waist, and lashed at a certain direction in the dark night. The whip made a snapping sound in the air!
Almost simultaneously, a pale-faced little figure was caught by Gu Jiao’s whip.
Gu Jiao turned around and tied him to the horse’s back.
As the net fell, Gu Jiao raised her hand and grabbed it, throwing the net far away!
This kind of petty trick is barely enough against little guys like Tang Yueshan who fear ghosts, but she isn’t afraid of ghosts.
Gu Jiao looked at the little... Little Black Impermanence lying on her horse’s back?
She asked, "Who are you people?"
Whoa!
The rest of the figures in the forest scattered all at once, fleeing without a trace.
Little Black Impermanence, with a long tongue hanging from his mouth, struggled to say, "I’m Black Impermanence! Don’t dare offend me! His Highness the Ghost King will eat you!"
So he is indeed called Black Impermanence.
Gu Jiao flicked his forehead.
Little Black Impermanence screamed, "Ouch!"
Gu Jiao chuckled, "Do ghosts fear pain?"
Little Black Impermanence was speechless for a moment, spat out the hindering long tongue from his mouth, and spoke clearly, "I’m still young, you’re an adult, your yang energy is too strong, touching me will scorch my body, so I screamed!"
After saying that, he put the tongue back in again.
He explained it quite logically, Gu Jiao mentally gave him a thumbs up.
"How old are you?" Gu Jiao asked.
