He immersed his consciousness in the Black Jade Lotus on his forehead and sent a mental message. "Great-Grandpa, I need to talk to you."
"You little brat, what do you want with Great-Grandpa?" Ghost Emperor Haoran's impatient voice soon came from the lotus mark.
Li Yichen curled his lips. Why does that sound like he's insulting me?
"Well, Great-Grandpa," Li Yichen said casually, "it's nothing major. I just..."
"If it's nothing major, why are you bothering me?" Ghost Emperor Haoran immediately sounded displeased. "Tell me, have you got my car and beautiful women ready yet?"
