When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 205 : East Saint Ghost King

205: East Saint Ghost King

Seeing those banners, the expressions of the three Li Su Grandmaster experts changed instantly. They were like flickering candles in the wind, neither daring to advance nor retreat, swaying uncertainly in the demonic wind that filled the sky. From a distance, they appeared to be trembling with fear.

What kind of existence had arrived that could make three Li Su Grandmasters standing in midair this terrified?

"East Saint... Ghost King?" Yuyin looked up at those fluttering black banners. Wait... Ghost, Ghost King!? Could it be... A very bad premonition formed in Yuyin's heart.

She saw that from the heaven-covering black clouds that had formed a giant mouth, all kinds of demons and monsters continued to leap out, over a thousand of them. Each varied wildly in size, appearing strange and surreal. Yet they all stood on the clouds in formation, surrounding most of the mountain range.

Thud, thud, thud thud thud...

Pot-bellied, thick-bodied evil ghosts carried out massive war drums, wildly beating out an ancient, heavy drumbeat. Some emaciated ghosts with huge bodies and thin limbs carried long strings of round copper bells, walking out from the giant mouth, their ringing penetrating hearts and souls in the demonic wind.

At this time, wax-yellow and cobalt-blue evil ghosts emerged from the mouth, their beards and hair like flames, as if from hell. They carried heavy black square wooden posts in pairs, while candles flew around them, burning in the dark sky.

They stepped on demonic clouds, forming a descending staircase formation before the giant mouth, all the way jumping and howling. This staircase of evil ghosts extended to the sky above Rain Concubine's tomb.

The three Grandmasters had plenty of time to flee or attack Yuyin and Gui Ji, yet none dared make a reckless move.

Above the clouds, a yellow, robust evil ghost with dark red mane beat a massive drum while demonic howls echoed through heaven and earth. "East Saint, hunting at heaven's edge, welcomes the Ghost King…"

"Roar, ha!"

"Roar, ha! Roar, ha!..."

Evil ghosts stomped the cloud layers powerfully, as if performing a dance of hell, shouting with mighty force. Countless candle flames danced around them, drums and music playing, both devout and wild.

She saw seven women with deer horns, ox horns, or draped in splendid feathers float out from the giant mouth, waving long sleeves, throwing out seven-colored ribbons that fell like rainbows onto the staircase formed by the giant logs carried by the two rows of yellow and blue evil ghosts.

Yet these seven colors were not bright rainbow hues, but dark red, dark purple, ink blue, deep cyan... seven shades of dark silk.

"Roar, ha!"

"Roar, ha!"

The crowd of ghosts' shouts grew more fervent, jumping and howling, candle flames flickering, bizarre and dazzling, like a night banquet of demons!

"Welcome! Ghost King!"

"Welcome! Ghost King!"

The red-maned evil ghost opened his massive mouth, his fat face trembling with devout howling as he bowed down, his head sinking into the clouds.

"Welcome! Ghost King!"

The demons paid homage!

A deep purple high-heeled boot with ancient secret patterns glowing with dim light stepped out from the rolling black cloud mouth.

Under such overwhelming presence, Yuyin also gazed somewhat in a daze, only seeing...

Beneath the abyss-like black cloud mouth, a tall, breathtakingly beautiful, mature woman with wildly flowing black hair walked down the seven-colored dark rainbow ribbons. Her armor was terrifyingly fierce yet exposed in a way that mesmerized all demons.

"Welcome Ghost King!"

"Welcome Ghost King!"

"Roar, ha!... Roar, ha!"

The demons were incomparably devout and excited. With each step the tall, mature woman took, the evil ghosts lining both sides would kneel.

Until she walked to the sky above Rain Concubine's tomb entrance. Clearly there were no more steps, yet she continued walking through the air, all the way toward Yuyin and Gui Ji. As for the three Grandmasters, it was as if she didn't see them at all.

The three Grandmasters' faces were ashen.

The tall, mature woman stepped onto the earth. Invisibly, a ripple of dark purple energy spread out like waves. Yuyin suddenly felt the suppressive might of the three Li Su Grandmasters on her disappear.

"Mom... Mommy..." Gui Ji trembled, tears of joy and grievance seemingly in her eyes, "Mommy, you're finally here!"

"Mommy!" Gui Ji cried delicately, running toward the tall, beautiful woman, wanting to bury herself in her mother's gentle embrace.

However, the tall woman extended a hand. An invisible force gently stroked Gui Ji's head, calming her, then continued walking past her with those eye-catching beautiful legs in ancient black armored suspenders, twisting her dramatically curved hips, walking straight up to Yuyin.

"Huh?" Gui Ji stood there momentarily stunned.

Yuyin's gaze fell on those sharp high heels. A mature woman's scent, completely different from her own, more demonic and mesmerizing, assailed her senses, filling Yuyin's breath. She slowly raised her head...

She saw this woman, seemingly even taller than herself, with long, wildly flowing black hair. On her stunningly beautiful demonic noblewoman's face, one eye was night-sky black, the other golden like the sun. A small black mole marked the left side of her slightly plump, tea-red lips.

Looking up from Yuyin's angle, her chest seemed even more magnificent, a size even Yuyin couldn't match. Her waist was tight, her lower abdomen flat yet carrying a mature fullness. Her thighs were full and long. She couldn't be called slender, yet she radiated the goddess-like figure of a mature woman to the extreme. That ancient armor of deep dark purple patterns, and the dark purple ribbons draped and fluttering on her body, perfectly accentuated her demonic charm. Yuyin felt somewhat dazed, seeming to understand what it meant for clothing to be more alluring than nudity...

This woman was so close. Her scent was also somewhat difficult for Yuyin to guard against.

Whoosh.

Without a word, that even richer scent assailed her as the tall, mature woman bent down. Seemingly unhurried yet actually instantaneous, she lifted Yuyin up.

It was a princess carry, one hand supporting Yuyin's leg bend, the other holding her waist under her armpit.

Even Yuyin couldn't react in time before her body went light and she was, she was lifted up?

What was this about? Yuyin, such a tall, cold beauty, had never been carried like this before!

"Mom... Mommy??" Compared to Yuyin, Gui Ji was even more shocked. Her mother, coming to save her from danger, had only patted her head instead of embracing her, yet she picked up this woman who should be a complete stranger?

Yuyin was held tightly by the tall woman, her face pressed involuntarily against her soft chest. Yuyin's face squeezed against that softness as she looked up at this fragrance-filled woman and asked, somewhat uneasy yet respectful, "You... may I ask, Senior... what are you doing? Who are you?"

The tall woman looked down at Yuyin, her heterochromatic eyes flashing with mysterious light, exuding an enchanting aura, her voice mature and slightly magnetic.

"Hehehe, who am I? Xia Yuyin, are you playing dumb? Did you forget our three-year agreement?"

"My fiancée."
