Chapter 222 The King's Game
Chapter 222 The King's Game
Jiang Ling's gaze fell on the brass Bagua mirror on the dressing table. She reached out, picked it up, and gently tapped the cool mirror surface with her fingertips.
[Waaaaah! Please save me! Master~]
Immediately, the little ghost girl's soft, pleading voice came from the mirror.
There was not a trace of the ferocious appearance of the rumored S-class evil spirit.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
In the few seconds it took Jiang Ling to tap the mirror.
Gen Kiyoko hurriedly put on her polka-dot underwear, and when she turned her head, she saw him touch the array plate that sealed the evil spirit.
She was so frightened that her soul almost left her body, and her face turned deathly pale.
Unexpectedly, he actually touched the array plate that sealed the evil spirit!
Are you kidding me!
This place is sealed with a legendary S-class evil spirit!
Now her strength has inexplicably been halved, and the once genius Onmyoji girl has been reduced to a mediocre level.
A while ago, it took a lot of effort, and with the help of the hundred-year-old black dog blood given by Granny Li, I was able to barely seal the evil spirit inside.
If we release it.
Everyone in the building would be dragged into the ghost realm, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Whatever you do, don't touch the Kan (water) or Li (fire) positions on the array!"
She rushed over anxiously, reaching out her delicate white hand to snatch the array plate, her voice trembling as she shouted:
"If the positions of the two hexagrams are switched, the evil spirit inside will be released directly! With that evil spirit's power—everyone in the entire building will be dragged into the ghost realm..."
Okay, okay, I was just wondering how to release the beautiful coconut.
I never expected that Kiyoko would say it herself!
Kiyoko thought to herself, "I've made it sound so serious, he'll definitely give up willingly, right?"
however.
Jiang Ling did not hesitate to adjust the Kan (water) and Li (fire) trigrams.
"What?!?!"
Kiyoko's pupils constricted, her eyes filled with terror, and she screamed, "Ya-mi-ra!"
Pfft~
The anticipated massive explosion of ghostly energy, which would blow up half the building, did not occur.
Only a little female ghost, with her bangs covering half of her pale face and her bare, pale little feet, appeared beside Jiang Ling with teary eyes, reaching out her slender little hand and timidly grabbing his trouser leg.
"Oh no! She's out!"
Gen Kiyoko was on high alert, gathering all her spiritual power and shouting rapidly:
"Be careful! Don't let her gentle appearance fool you; if she loses her temper, she could kill you with ease! Quickly, come closer to me—only I can protect you now!"
Jiang Ling reached out and touched the head of the little ghost girl next to him.
It's like petting your own puppy.
Minamoto Kiyoko:?
Meiyezi immediately nuzzled his large hand affectionately, her petite body pressed tightly against his leg, and tearfully complained:
"Master, I've had a terrible time without you!"
"It's that white-haired woman... Waaah..." she cried, her little finger trembling as she pointed at Gen Kiyoko, her shoulders shaking with sobs.
"I explained to her that I was protecting Miss Youyou... but she wouldn't listen at all, saying who would believe such nonsense, and then she grabbed me and locked me in the mirror..."
"It's so dark and cold in the mirror... there's nothing there... Waaah..."
"She also splashes strange talismanic water on the mirror every day and chants sutras to keep me awake... Waaaaaah—!!"
Minamoto Kiyoko:? ? ? ?
That doesn't seem right.
This scene is a bit like a daughter being bullied by a stranger and crying for her father to teach the bad woman a lesson.
"She...she...no, it must be a trick..."
"Everything I'm seeing is an illusion!"
"Maybe Kexin's boyfriend is already dead, and everything we're seeing is just an illusion..."
"That female ghost was just pretending to be pitiful to fool me!"
Jiang Ling stepped forward and said calmly, "Yuan Qingzi, you arrested my ghost servant without permission and have kept him locked up for so long..."
"It's fake! It's all fake!"
Gen Kiyoko closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them again, only to find herself still facing the scene of an S-class female ghost dragging an ordinary person who was a cosplay enthusiast and crying.
At that moment, a chill ran down my spine.
She once followed a light novel called "I Met My Bald Master at the Start ~ I Tried to Trick Him into Cultivating Fake Immortality ~".
One line in particular stuck with her—the protagonist, constantly deceived amidst layers of ghostly illusions, finally clutches his head and cries out in anguish, "I really can't tell the difference!"
Now, she finally understands—she can't tell what the feeling is anymore.
Jiang Ling sighed helplessly, "This child has gone mad."

Jiang Ling: ……
I wouldn't choose a single option!
Who the hell wants this kind of power that involves skinning yourself to gain offensive capabilities?
If Huozi hadn't been so resourceful, he wouldn't have been willing to use something as bloody as the Great Thousand Records.
Option two is even worse.
He is now considered the shadowy figure behind the Kujo family—Miu and Kuroba are both his wives.
My wife's business is my business.
All things considered, option three is the best of the worst.
He transformed into a cardboard knight, gathering an aura powerful enough to crush any great Onmyoji, and casually handed the Bagua Mirror to Gen Kiyoko.
"Alright, stop crying. I will get justice for you," Jiang Ling said calmly, her hands in her pockets.
Instantly, the temperament of a tyrant was fully revealed!
Both Miyuki and Kiyoko were stunned.
Wow...so handsome...what a powerful stance!
"Kiyoko, now that things have come to this..."
"I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean!"
His aura was no longer concealed—the Supreme Yellow-Robed Celestial Master!
"I am an exorcist too!"
"What?!?!" Kiyoko and Miyako were both shocked.
Gen Kiyoko was shocked by his strength; at such a young age, he was actually the legendary Yellow Robe Celestial Master!
"Now, do you believe me?" Jiang Ling said calmly.
"She is my ghost servant."
"I'm so sorry, senpai!" Gen Kiyoko immediately bowed deeply. "I'm truly sorry for accidentally capturing your demon servant!"
She then knelt before the beautiful coconut palm, saying, "I'm so sorry!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. You have received the reward: Genius Special Effects]
"Don't reveal my identity," Jiang Ling said calmly. "I am now your niece's husband, understand?"
"I...I understand," some scenes inexplicably popped into Kiyoko's mind again.
A master descends the mountain, and his life's work becomes a livelihood...
Holy crap, could it be that Kexin's boyfriend is the protagonist of some urban fantasy novel?!
So, as the aunt, hehe, she's also part of the main cast, right?
When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.
So, are they finally able to lie low again?!
dong dong dong-
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Ke Ling said in a sweet, coquettish voice:
"Auntie~ Is your brother in your room?"
"Come out and play King's Game with your sisters, okay?"
dong dong dong-
There were a few more knocks on the door, and Ke Ling's voice carried a hint of doubt:
"What...what are you doing in there?"
