Chapter 103: 85, 86. Before and After the Negotiations, Demons of the Chaotic World (Major Chapter – Seeking Subscriptions)_4
“I had a premonition that the Ghost Tide would come again this year, and it would be even more ferocious than last time.
No matter how much hatred exists between Dashang and the Northern Barbarians, this negotiation must succeed.
Otherwise, if the Northern Barbarians completely lose control, disregarding everything and attacking cities everywhere with demon beasts during the Ghost Tide, that would be a true catastrophe.”
Song Cheng nodded silently. Suddenly, he asked a question he had been puzzled about for a long time, “How do you know the news from the front line, Madam?”
Lady Zhushan looked at him quietly.
If it had been when they first teamed up, she certainly wouldn’t have paid this blind man any heed and might have even thought he was overstepping.
But over the past half year, her attitude had somewhat changed.
Because… Tong Jia.
Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.
To a person with a strange mind and twisted spirit, a lively and straightforward girl who is close to you, someone who shares a close relationship with you, is simply priceless.
So hadn’t there been a “Tong Jia” before?
There really hadn’t.
First, very few people had the opportunity to get close to Lady Zhushan, and those who did were mostly disciples. Disciples revered Lady Zhushan, outwardly appearing close but actually feared her. Their words and actions were filled with detachment.
Second, Lady Zhushan didn’t want to interact with others. It seemed she had some unspeakable past.
Tong Jia suddenly appeared in her world, and within a few days, she began to feel warmth.
Over the past half year, Lady Zhushan had come to regard Tong Jia as a daughter, granddaughter, and her only disciple.
Therefore, for Tong Jia’s frequently mentioned husband, Lady Zhushan had developed quite a fondness as well.
In addition, the two teamed up, killing Ghost Servants without any miscalculations.
Moreover, Song Cheng, with his talent for “observing goodwill,” had always managed to keep Lady Zhushan’s goodwill towards him steady or even increasing, never decreasing.
With all these elements…
Lady Zhushan inexplicably developed a strange familial affection towards Song Cheng as if he were a “son-in-law, grandson-in-law.”
Of course,
Lady Zhushan had mental issues.
Her once icy mental world began to build an automatic “home” after being touched by sunshine.
A vague, possibly imaginary “home.”
After adding Madam Tong to this family, Song Cheng had been drawn in as well.
And precisely because of this relationship, she directly said, “Tricky Device.
I know through the Tricky Device.
The Tricky Device absorbs Yin Qi where the moonlight is dense, then exerts its influence.
However, the user is easily affected by the Tricky Device.
Martial Artists can’t use it.
As for ordinary people… it’s best to use such ominous items sparingly.”
As she spoke, she pulled out a “Skull Double Fish Ornament” from her bosom.
The fish appeared normal in every aspect except for its skull-like head, exuding a chilling aura.
Lady Zhushan said, “This type of Twin Fish Ornament looks ordinary during the day, but once it absorbs enough moonlight at midnight, its head will turn into a skull. When it becomes a skull, it means the Twin Fish Ornament is ready for use.
The users, each holding one ornament, are able to see the landscape of the region the other person is in, and they can talk to each other even if separated by hundreds or thousands of miles.
Before departing, I gifted two of these to Old Venom and the Great Hall Master.
Although they can’t use them, once they find a place and settle down, they will surely find ordinary people to activate them and then exchange information with me.”
Song Cheng was momentarily stunned.
Wasn’t this like starting a video chat?
The role of Yin Qi truly was varied.
Suddenly, he thought of something and hesitantly said, “Could you give me a Skull Double Fish Ornament, Madam?”
Lady Zhushan asked curiously, “What do you want it for?”
Song Cheng replied, “To be honest, the Ruyi Commerce Chamber actually has quite a few small branches scattered outside, some of which involve relatives and friends of mine, Madam Tong, and Miss An.
With the war besieging the cities, we’re all very worried.
So if we could have a Skull Double Fish Ornament, we intend to check on those small branches and send one over to them. Even if the Ghost Tide comes, we could communicate from afar, which would ease our minds a little.
Previously, we couldn’t go out.
But now, with the negotiations soon, the fighting around has also subsided a bit.”
Lady Zhushan thought for a long while, then finally took one out and handed it over, saying, “Martial Artists can’t use it, and ordinary people must use it cautiously.”
Song Cheng felt a bit of gratitude.
“Thank you, Madam.”
He took the Jade Ornament.
The Jade Ornament felt ice-cold in his hand, and on his skin, it felt like ice and fire were touching.
It was either the fire extinguished or the ice melted.
Lady Zhushan handed over a wooden box with a lot of hair-like fibers and said, “Put it inside this.”
Song Cheng placed the Jade Ornament inside; only then did the sensation of ice and fire touching disappear.
He glanced briefly at the box.
Lady Zhushan said, “The fibers inside are made of Ghost Servant’s hair.”
After a brief conversation, Lady Zhushan hurriedly left.
She needed to wait for the Great Hall Master and Old Venom’s response.
She had to remind them again and make sure they warned the warriors participating in the negotiations to be cautious of Ghost Servants causing trouble during the talks.
This was actually quite challenging, as Dashang and the Northern Barbarians already had enmity and not much trust.
Quelling this was extremely difficult, while igniting conflict… was easy.
…
…
Golden Crow King’s campsite.
In an inconspicuous tent situated in a remote corner of the camp…
A chilling atmosphere pervaded, with no brazier in sight.
Yet, the four burly Barbarian men inside the tent showed no sign of feeling cold or any intention to light a fire. They were huddled together, whispering about something.
At this moment, the tent flap was lifted.
The four Barbarian men glanced sideways, and seeing the Golden Crow King entering, they turned back and continued their discussion.
