The sudden notification left every player except Tang Xiaoling utterly terrified, their faces drained of color.
None of them had expected the Ghost Monarch to execute two absent players with nothing more than a cold snort!
Was this what it meant to stand above the rules?!
Here in the Amusement Park, he could kill anyone he pleased with a single thought!
In fact, even the viewers watching were chilled to the bone!
It was terrifying!
For the first time in twenty years, they had seen an Evil Spirit at the Ghost Monarch Level!
It was also their first time seeing a being who could stand above the rules!
How much luck would someone need to survive an encounter with an Evil Spirit like this?!
"We're finished! With an Evil Spirit this vicious, they're all going to get wiped out!"
"Not necessarily. I can't speak for the others, but Tang Xiaoling should be fine!"
"Fine? That's an Evil Spirit who stands above the rules! A Ghost Monarch! No matter how powerful Tang Xiaoling's father is, could he possibly be stronger than a Ghost Monarch?"
"Maybe! Haven't you noticed? All the other players are welcoming the Ghost Monarch, but Tang Xiaoling's been eating this whole time!"
"I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it, but you're right! Isn't she afraid he'll kill her with a single thought?"
"Afraid? Do you think that word even exists in this kid's vocabulary? Or rather, aside from people, has she ever been afraid of an Evil Spirit?!"
Those words instantly brought all the viewers to their senses!
That was right!
Aside from being frightened by other players, Tang Xiaoling really had never seemed afraid of any Evil Spirits!
Even inside the Haunted House, she had let herself run completely wild!
But the strangest thing of all was still the way those Evil Spirits treated Tang Xiaoling!
Misled at first by that fake expert, "Eerie Knowledge Explainer," everyone had genuinely believed the Evil Spirits were raising her like a venomous creature in a deadly breeding jar.
But as he fell from his pedestal, the viewers gradually began to catch on.
Those Evil Spirits probably weren't raising her at all. They were truly afraid of Tang Xiaoling!
Especially after seeing Rakshasa Lady Ten's actions, many viewers began to suspect that the girl's unreliable father really was someone important!
While the viewers argued over their theories, Ghost King Zhong made his move.
He led his followers swiftly over to Tang Xiaoling.
Then he cupped his hands and bowed respectfully.
"This subordinate greets Your Highness the Princess!"
His words plunged the entire room into deathly silence.
The Evil Spirits outside the door all gaped, their eyes wide.
Li Zhuang and the other two kneeling at the entrance froze in place, disbelief written across their faces.
Even an idiot would finally have understood at that moment.
This was why those Evil Spirits were all so afraid of Tang Xiaoling!
Even beings like Rakshasa Lady Ten and the Ghost Monarch treated her with the utmost respect and humility!
Clearly, all that fear stemmed from Tang Xiaoling's terrifyingly powerful background!
"I can't handle this! The Ghost Monarch actually called her a princess! Who on earth is her father?!"
"This is unbelievable! Tang Xiaoling's father really is someone important!"
"@Eerie Knowledge Explainer: You bastard! Get out here! Give me back my hard-earned money!"
"@Eerie Knowledge Explainer: You clown who kept spouting that breeding-jar theory, feeling humiliated yet?"
The livestream chat erupted, comments filling the screen.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed something so absurd, even on pain of death!
A mere four-year-old human girl was being addressed as Her Highness the Princess by a mighty Ghost Monarch!
Then who exactly was her father?
Was he human or ghost?
As they stared at the scene before them, so impossible yet so undeniably real,
the viewers felt as though a bolt from the blue had struck them, leaving their heads spinning.
No wonder everything had gone so smoothly for Tang Xiaoling from the moment she entered the Instance!
Even assigned the role of "Safety Inspector," with its one-hundred-percent death rate, she had survived completely unscathed.
Those Evil Spirits must have already known who she was. That was why they hadn't dared harbor even the slightest malicious intent!
What a revelation... they had jolted upright from their deathbeds, only to discover they were the clowns all along!
Wei Shengjin in particular had originally intended to flee, but the string of developments had compelled him to stay and see how it ended.
After all, Tang Xiaoling was the reason he had lost his reputation and everything he owned.
He wanted to witness exactly how that little girl would die, just to satisfy his hatred!
But he had never imagined that not only would Tang Xiaoling survive, she would also reveal such a terrifying background!
Even the Ghost Monarch bowed and scraped before her, treating her with absolute respect!
Remembering everything he had said online, his legs instantly went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the floor.
Now he no longer cared about Spirit Coins. He only wanted to flee as far away as possible!
Otherwise, once Tang Xiaoling's father came to settle the score, he would never survive the day!
But just as he was about to get up and run, the door to his home was suddenly blasted open.
The next moment, more than a dozen fully armed Special Police officers stormed inside, their dark gun muzzles trained on him!
Their leader produced an Arrest Warrant and spoke sternly.
"Wei Shengjin, you're suspected of defrauding others of a substantial sum. You're coming with us!"
Before he could respond, two Special Police officers swiftly stepped forward and hauled him up.
Only then did he snap out of his daze. Looking at the force assembled before him, he was filled with shock and uncertainty.
Even if he was a fraudster, did they really need such a massive operation?!
Special Police, and guns too!
They wouldn't do more than this even to arrest a vicious, desperate outlaw, would they?
Then his heart suddenly jolted. Had Tang Xiaoling's father ordered all of this?!
He was finished!
They really had come to settle the score!
But just as despair overwhelmed him, Pure Breeze Dao-Bone's chat messages suddenly came back to him.
Could... that person be Tang Xiaoling's father?!
Otherwise, how could my online account have been frozen immediately?
And these Special Police officers found my home in less than five minutes!
Before he could figure it out, however, a Special Police officer took out a black hood and pulled it over his head.
No matter how loudly he shouted, no one paid him any further attention.
Meanwhile,
Tang Xiaoling held half a pig's trotter in her hand and asked in bewilderment,
"Uncle, why are you calling me a little princess?"
Beside her, Lady Ten also looked at Ghost King Zhong in shock and uncertainty.
She didn't understand. Lord Sky Dog had clearly told them not to reveal their own identities or Tang Xiaoling's.
Why had her husband announced it himself in front of everyone?
Wasn't he afraid that His Majesty the Ghost Emperor would punish him for this?!
Ghost King Zhong noticed Lady Ten's confusion and immediately sent her a private voice transmission.
"Lady Ten, stop hiding it!"
"The princess has already suffered enough grievances today!"
"His Majesty the Ghost Emperor sent the princess here to have fun, not to be mistreated!"
"If this keeps up, neither of us will keep our heads!"
