Yunzhou City Lord

Actually, Qin Bo had considered whether to just eliminate her to increase his lifespan.

But after seeing the female ghost's strength, he chickened out.

Besides, it seemed this female ghost didn't want to harm people; otherwise, they would probably already be dead.

"Alright. I can help you, but you have to listen to me from now on."

"Thank you, Young Master; I will follow your lead."

Luo Qingyan happily smiled.

"Okay, take out your marriage contract and let me see it!"

The next moment, Luo Qingyan raised her hand, and a large, scarlet-and-gilt marriage contract appeared in her hand.

Qin Bo thought, this marriage contract looks kind of high-end!

The scarlet background and gilded characters shimmered with a strange light in the moonlight.

The patterns on the marriage contract seemed alive, with faint streams of light wandering within them.

Qin Bo took the marriage contract; it was warm to the touch, and the writing on it was clear but exuded a mysterious power. He couldn't completely understand it.

"What's written on this? Why do some of the characters seem to change shape on their own?"

Qin Bo asked, puzzled.

Luo Qingyan explained, "This marriage contract is a treasure I obtained from the Ghost Realm.

"It says, 'Heaven and earth bear witness, in the beginning of chaos, heaven and earth were established. Yin and Yang harmonize, and all things are born.

Since the beginning of Hongmeng, there seems to be a predestined fate in the dark, connecting

[Luo Qingyan].

[...]

Now, with heaven and earth as witnesses, this marriage contract is written to establish a lifelong alliance.'"

The more Qin Bo listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

It even invoked heaven and earth as witnesses; if he abandoned this female ghost in the future, would he be struck by lightning?!

"Then why did you choose me specifically?!"

Qin Bo thought for a moment and asked this question. Among the several men, why was he the only one chosen?

"To be honest, Young Master, it wasn't I who chose you, but this marriage contract that chose you! It also brought me here."

"What?! It chose me? This marriage contract has this function?"

Oh well, when fate arrives, it can't be stopped!

Could this be considered an arranged ghost marriage from the start?!

Qin Bo gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and once again carefully examined the marriage contract.

Some of the strange patterns on the marriage contract seemed to have come to life, moving and flickering with his gaze.

"I'll sign! But you have to keep your word."

Qin Bo stared at Luo Qingyan, his eyes filled with helplessness and a hint of determination.

Luo Qingyan nodded gently, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Young Master's great kindness, I will remember it in my heart."

Qin Bo no longer hesitated, bit his fingertip, and a drop of bright red blood fell on the marriage contract.

In an instant, the marriage contract shone brightly, but the light was not dazzlingly bright.

It was a mysterious and soft ghostly light.

In the light, the patterns on the marriage contract seemed to come alive, intertwining and forming a dreamlike pattern.

The light flashed and disappeared, but Qin Bo clearly felt it.

A kind of indescribable bond had formed between him and Luo Qingyan, as if the threads of fate were tightly connecting the two.

Qin Bo looked up at Luo Qingyan in front of him.

For a moment, he was captivated.

And Luo Qingyan's face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look at him again.

"It's over; arranged marriages harm everyone!"

Qin Bo shouted in his heart.

This was even a marriage certified by heaven and earth!

However, before Qin Bo could sigh any further, a sharp and piercing screech suddenly came from the distance.

It was as if countless anomalies were howling at the same time, the sound like sharp blades, stabbing straight into his eardrums.

Qin Bo suddenly came back to his senses, his face instantly becoming serious.

Luo Qingyan looked flustered and hurriedly said, "Not good, these are Netherworld Ghost Crows sent by my father. Once they are dispatched, they will expose my whereabouts."

"Can't you hide inside the marriage contract? Hurry up and get in."

Qin Bo, holding the marriage contract, unfurled it, and Luo Qingyan instantly entered into the marriage contract.

Meanwhile, Qin Bo quickly returned to the City God Temple.

The moment he stepped into the City God Temple, Qin Bo swiftly shook Old Taoist Songhe and the others awake.

Without Luo Qingyan's power to control them, the others quickly regained consciousness.

"Wake up quickly, those people have disappeared!"

"Huh?"

The old Taoist groggily looked towards the group where Luo Qingyan had been.

Discovering that they were gone, he hurriedly got up.

"Could it be that the anomaly they contacted has already caught up?"

Chen Song and Du Sanniang also got up, drawing their weapons.

"That girl had an anomalous aura about her before; could it be that she herself is an anomaly?!"

"Be careful."

At this moment, the old Taoist took out a compass, and the pointer on it frantically pointed outside the City God Temple.

"A big one is coming!"

Before his voice faded, a series of "caw caw" sounds came in.

"This is... the sound of a Netherworld Ghost Crow?!"

"What?"

"How could this thing appear here?! Doesn't it only appear in anomalous places?"

Chen Song looked incredulous.

Qin Bo didn't know what to say!

He was the only one who knew about the marriage contract in his possession. If he told them, Luo Qingyan might be taken away by the people above.

At this moment, the old Taoist spoke.

"Something couldn't have happened in the anomalous place! The Grand Supervisor is stationed there."

"Then what's going on with this Ghost Crow? The appearance of a Ghost Crow means that anomalies are attacking humans."

Chen Song was unconvinced.

"Let's go out and take a look; maybe it's just a scouting vanguard?!"

The others grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the City God Temple.

Just then, a streak of blood-red light shot from afar in the sky.

Just as the others saw the flock of Ghost Crows, they saw the flock of Ghost Crows being slapped to death by a blood-colored hand.

"This..."

A figure descended, standing before the City God Temple.

The others were stunned.

"City Lord?!"

"Hahaha... Old Taoist Songhe, long time no see; have you forgotten me so quickly?"

The newcomer laughed heartily.

"It's okay; this is the City Lord of Yunzhou City, Lord Zhou Yunxuan."

Old Taoist Songhe hurriedly explained to Qin Bo and the others, the tense expression on his face easing a bit.

Qin Bo looked up and saw Zhou Yunxuan wearing a luxurious blood-colored robe, the corners embroidered with golden runes, fluttering in the wind.

He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with a resolute face.

His black hair was casually tied up, and he exuded a powerful and dignified aura that made people fearful.

"Chen Song, a descendant of the Chen family, greets City Lord Zhou."

"Du Sanniang greets City Lord Zhou."

"Qin Bo greets City Lord."

Zhou Yunxuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the others.

Finally, he paused for a moment on Qin Bo.

"Are you all alright?! I didn't expect Netherworld Ghost Crows to appear here; it seems another Netherworld entrance has appeared at that location."

"City Lord, will this have any impact on our human realm? And since it appeared in Yunzhou City's territory, will it have any impact on our seal this time?"

The old Taoist's expression was grave.

"What you said is very likely! This sealing matter brooks no delay; it is very likely that the Netherworld is coming to rescue the fierce creature beneath Yunzhou City."
