Chapter 175 You want to fight to the death with me? Do you have the qualifications?
"Nine-tailed Fox, you are very smart! You even know how to pretend to build a plank road and secretly attack Chencang..."

Cheng Long, who originally wanted to play with the nine-tailed fox, noticed the movement over Ling'er. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, demonic energy swirled behind him, and a demonic shadow about three meters high appeared and disappeared!

Cheng Long, who was already terrifying enough, suddenly became even more imposing.

The Ghost King Nine-Tailed Fox was so frightened that her legs went limp. She felt an inexplicable sense of powerlessness all over her body. She no longer cared about her face. She threw away her red umbrella, tore off her veil, knelt on the ground naked, and said in fear and trepidation:
"Sir, the ghost soldiers under your command acted on their own initiative, which has nothing to do with me! I am willing to serve you as a humble servant. Please give me a chance to redeem my life."

"How to redeem it?"

Cheng Long stared at the nine-tailed fox coldly.

At this time, Teacher Bai was on a killing spree, and the hundreds of ghost soldiers under the Nine-tailed Fox were no match for her.

Although the leader of the Yin soldiers is also a ghost demon, how can an ordinary ghost demon compare to the ghost demon who practices the "Taiyin Xuanjing"? He may not even have his own specialty ghost magic. In front of Bai Ling, the ghost-level Yin general is no different from the Yin soldiers.

"Building bridges and roads, lighting lamps and serving tea, saving the dying and the wounded, helping the poor and relieving their difficulties, donating coffins..."

"Tsk tsk~ When you meet someone you can't beat, you want to put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha right away?" Without waiting for the Ghost King Nine-Tailed Fox to finish his words, Cheng Long sneered and said, "Do you think I'm one of those bald donkeys who don't do anything productive?"

"My Lord, in your opinion..."

The nine-tailed fox looked up, its pitiful and delicate face full of fear.

With her charming posture, Xiao Cheng seemed to be losing control.

"I think killing you is the only way to comfort the brides who died on this road!"

Cheng Long's heart was as solid as a rock and he remained unmoved.

It's not like he hasn't eaten pork before, so there's no reason for him to surrender just because of the slightest temptation.

Since he has decided to embark on the path of cultivating merit and seeking immortality, he must persevere to the end.

Compared to this, what is a mere sexy and charming nine-tailed fox?
"Sir, don't force me~~"

"Do we have to fight to the death?"

The nine-tailed fox felt extremely humiliated. In order to save her life, she even tore off her veil and knelt down to beg for mercy, which was such a humiliating thing. But the man in front of her was really as hard as iron and did not waver at all.

Could it be that the charm of her, the Ghost King Nine-tailed Fox, is not as good as that of those two country girls?
"You want to fight me to the death, do you have the qualifications?"

Say it.

The demonic energy that was surging behind Cheng Long gushed out, sweeping over the Ghost King Nine-tailed Fox like a surging wave.

Demonic energy naturally has the property of suppressing ghost energy. Even though the Nine-tailed Fox is a ghost king, it is still unable to exert any strength when it is bound in the air by high-quality demonic energy.

She could only watch Cheng Long, holding the magic knife, approaching little by little.

"My lord, I... ahem... am willing to help you slay demons and bring peace to the world..." The nine-tailed fox, feeling that its internal organs were about to be crushed by the evil spirit, wanted to swear a poisonous oath to survive.

However, Cheng Long remained unmoved.

Whoosh!
A red light passed by.

The nine-tailed fox's delicate head soared into the sky.

When she landed, her head turned into black mist and dissipated, and a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.

Over the past decade or so, the brides she killed begged for mercy, but she remained unmoved. She must have been as terrified and helpless as she is now!
"Huh~~ This pure life energy is equivalent to that of one hundred and twenty or thirty villains."

"The Ghost King is worthy of being the Ghost King."

After dealing with the Ghost King Nine-tailed Fox, Cheng Long immediately flashed to the front of Mo Chou and Xiao Shuang who were lying on the ground. He reached out to feel their breath and confirmed that they were still breathing weakly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are lucky to have met me."

Cheng Long put away the magic knife, took out the bloodthirsty bead, and without hesitation extracted a large amount of blood and energy, infusing it into Mochou and Xiaoshuang.

After consuming the blood and energy of two people.

Xiaoshuang, Mochou's maid who was slightly stronger than her, opened her eyes first.

The first thing she did when she regained consciousness was to run to Miss Mochou, pushing her and shouting in panic, "Miss, wake up, wake up!"

"Stop shaking~~Xiao Shuang, if you keep shaking me, I'm going to die."

"Miss, I'm so glad you're okay. I'll carry you to the doctor right away..."

Xiaoshuang was overjoyed. She helped Miss Mochou up and was about to carry her down the mountain. Her loyalty and affection made Cheng Long very relieved. He felt that it was not in vain to save such a loyal maid.

The blood and essence energy stored in the Bloodthirsty Pearl is not much and cannot afford to be wasted.

Before crossing over, he gave Tong Keren and Dr. Sala ten portions of blood energy each, so that the other party would have a certain self-protection ability. Including the two portions just used, there were 37 portions left.

"Why see a doctor? I'm very energetic now."

Mochou pushed Xiaoshuang in annoyance. This girl was easily nervous and didn't realize that they were able to be resurrected thanks to the exorcist Mr. Cheng.

"Miss, after hearing what you said, I seem to have become more energetic."

"What does it mean?"

Cheng Long couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Under my treatment, even your wounds have healed as before. If you don't believe me, pull open your clothes and see if there are still blood holes on your chests?"

"Just look at it."

Xiaoshuang unzipped her collar without saying a word, revealing a blood-stained red bellyband.

However, just as she was about to lift up her bellyband to check her injured chest, Mochou turned her over and faced Cheng Long with her back to check each other's injuries.

"Forget it if you don't want to show it to me."

Mr. Cheng muttered in his heart, turned around and walked to the murderous Bai Ling, and comforted her; "Teacher Bai, you have worked hard, go back to the Soul Nurturing Jade and retreat! Otherwise, your murderous aura will easily scare the children."

"Master, I'm not tired. I like helping you because it makes me feel fulfilled, rather than being an insignificant flower pot..." Bai Ling has been following Cheng Long since she was shot by Cao Shaolin. She knows very well how much her master is loved by women. If she doesn't have some skills, she will easily be regretted.

"You are already very powerful. You have just advanced to the ghost level. The way you kill people everywhere is enough to fascinate people." "Really?"

"Of course, how have I ever lied to you?"

"Sir, I'm glad you like me. I was just worried that you would dislike me if I suddenly became so fierce."

Bai Lingchang's worries were swept away.

The girl who just exploded in anger and turned into a disheveled, murderous female ghost was completely different from her previous image of a well-educated and polite teacher.

"Nothing, go back and rest!"

"Mmmmm~"

Shortly after.

After checking the injuries, Mo Chou brought Xiao Shuang back to Cheng Long and bowed, saying, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for saving me. I have no way to repay you, but I wish..."

Hearing this, Mr. Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"...I will marry Shuang'er to you!"

"Shuang'er?"

Cheng Long, secretly delighted, stared at Mo Chou blankly: "Why, it's not you who pledged your love to me?"

Mo Chou's pretty face turned red, and she said awkwardly, "Master Cheng, Mo Chou is already engaged, so it's not convenient to do this. I can only let Shuang'er do it for me."

"But I saved you twice."

"Mochou has no way to repay the young master for saving my life. I can only work like a slave in the next life and do my best to repay him." It's not that Mochou didn't want to or was unwilling to do so, but she didn't dare to disobey her parents' orders.

The new son-in-law has a good family background. If she marries him, her father's career will go further. If her younger brother works harder, he may be able to pass the imperial examination and become a tribute scholar in the future.

I don’t even dare to think about becoming a Jinshi.

After all, her father was only the tax ambassador of the local county, similar to the head of the Finance Bureau in modern society.

"I'll be your slave in the next life, but now you want me to take you home? Or do you have other plans?"

Although Cheng Long felt a little regretful, he did not force it. Some things can only be left to nature. If he really wanted to get Mo Chou, he actually had many ways to get her.

For example, if I had not taken action just now, letting her and Xiaoshuang become ghosts, and then collecting them into the Soul-Nourishing Jade, wouldn't that be natural!

Or he could use Entu Bao as a pretext to force Mochou to marry him.

Or he could use puppetry to make the other party obey his orders.

"Mr. Cheng, if possible, I hope you can take me to the Ma family in Hu County." Mo Chou said, and lowered her head embarrassedly.

Not only was he unwilling to marry her, but he even bothered his savior and sent her to the Ma family in Hu County.

Even she herself felt that this request was extremely excessive.

But apart from relying on Cheng Long, Mochou really couldn't think of any other way to ensure that she could get to the Ma family safely and complete the wedding.

"Sir, please help the young lady! At worst, I will agree to whatever you want me to do in the future, okay?" Xiaoshuang was actually Mochou's maid who came with her as a dowry.

After getting married, she became the new son-in-law's bed-warmer.

However, the maid's stay or departure depends entirely on the young lady's words, and Mochou has the absolute right to arrange for Xiaoshuang.

"Don't be so dramatic. I have Teacher Bai to accompany me. I don't need a helpless maid like you."

Although the maid in front of him was quite good-looking, when he watched the movie "The Fairy in the Painting", he admired the deep affection between the master and servant and couldn't bear to separate them.

If Mochou promised to marry him, he wouldn't mind accepting this loyal maid, but let's forget it now!

Tonight I will be a good person and send the person to Ma's family in Hua County first. Then I will return to Yunlang Town, twenty miles away, to meet the young Yan Chixia and see if Yan Chixia, who lives in Wumenju, is as hateful of evil as he was during the period of A Chinese Ghost Story.

"Let's go!"

Cheng Long waved his hand and turned to walk towards Huxian County.

Mochou and Xiaoshuang followed closely behind.

It is not common to see a bride and her maidservants crossing mountains and hills to reach the groom's house late at night.

This is unprecedented and the only time like this.

However, after walking silently for half an hour, the pampered bride Mo Chou began to be unable to walk.

Most of the blood and essence energy that Cheng Long gave her was used to sustain her life, and only a small part was used for strengthening, which was of little help.

"Sir, can you sit down and rest for a while?"

Mo Chou stopped and called out pitifully.

"It's up to you. I'm not in a hurry to get married anyway."

Cheng Long is not a saint after all, so it is inevitable that he speaks with a little resentment. Come to think of it, he has tried hard to save Mo Chou twice but failed. It would be a lie to say that he feels a little depressed.

Xiao Shuang looked at the young lady who was sitting and rubbing her legs, raised her head to look at Cheng Long, and shamelessly asked: "Sir, my young lady has been weak and sick since she was a child. She can't walk much on the mountain road. Why don't you carry her on your back? Hu County is not far from here, and it will be there in another 20 or 30 miles."

When Mo Chou heard this, a light flashed in her dark eyes.

Although she could not marry Cheng Long, being able to have physical contact with him over a distance of twenty or thirty miles would be a beautiful thing worth remembering.

"..."

Cheng Long glanced at Xiao Shuang indifferently and didn't even feel like replying.
