Lu Wuming’s question caught the ghost clan by surprise. However, as it was their young master’s inquiry, after a moment’s pause, he answered truthfully.
His smile turned a bit awkward as he scratched his head. "Actually, all ghost clan members can perform this method, it's just that my success rate is higher. Because I'm naturally weaker, my ghostly aura isn't as intense. So, when I transfer my essence to humans, they can still accept it. If they encounter someone stronger, like you, young master, transferring ghostly aura into a human body would be out of the question; they'd be directly blown to bits."
He stated this with absolute certainty.
The other ghost clan members nearby nodded in agreement, as if to confirm that his statement was indeed accurate.
Lu Wuming stroked his chin.
If that was the case, should he be grateful that he was weaker when he replaced Liu Buli’s internal organs back then? Or perhaps it was due to Shen Muzhi’s superb medical skills; otherwise, if it were done now, Liu Buli’s body likely wouldn't be able to accept his internal organs.
Not only that, but Lu Wuming suddenly felt very fortunate about what he had done in the past. It was precisely because he had accepted his internal organs that Liu Buli was now in a state between human and ghost. He was considered human, yet he was not affected by the ghost clan's ghostly aura. If that weren't the case, according to this ghost clan member, his master would likely feel immense discomfort from his ghostly aura even when sharing a room with him.
Lu Wuming pictured that scenario, and his sense of relief grew even stronger.
He was truly so lucky.
While he was lost in these scattered thoughts, the ghost clan member beside him, not yet realizing this, was still earnestly recommending himself. "Young master, if you have any human friends you wish to turn into this state, I can help you with it. Don't worry, my success rate is always high. Take that trash beside you, for example; he successfully became like this. If it were your friend, they would definitely be able to endure it."
"Yes, yes, young master, we've all heard that you've made many friends in the human world. But you don't need to stay there for them to not return to the ghost city! As long as you turn them into our kind, then it doesn't matter where you are, right? Besides, friendship is not a reliable bond; being of the same kind is the closest relationship."
"Exactly, young master. Although the King hasn't told us about this solution, if you wish, all of us can turn a blind eye and pretend we saw nothing and heard nothing today. You do your thing, you choose who, and we will absolutely not reveal what happened."
"I can guarantee it too!"
…
A group of ghost clan members chattered incessantly.
They seemed to believe that their foolish minds had stumbled upon Lu Wuming's hidden desire. Even though Lu Wuming hadn't responded at all, they were happily conversing with unusual joy.
In reality, Lu Wuming didn't even want to acknowledge them.
It was Liu Buli, standing beside him, who couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing the ghost clan's remarks. He pointed at himself and asked, "Can I also become one of your kind?"
Liu Buli had been contemplating. He had educated Lu Wuming to be the way he was now, and he had provoked the Ghost King so many times. If the other party were still willing to let him become one of their kind, then the Ghost King's magnanimity would be extraordinary.
However, the reality proved that the Ghost King's magnanimity was not that great, and Liu Buli had thought a bit too much.
After scrutinizing Liu Buli for a moment, those ghost clan members all vigorously shook their heads. They said, "No, you cannot."
"Everyone here can, only you cannot."
"Before this expedition, the King specifically instructed that you are the one who must die. Everyone else can be spared, but your head must be brought back to the King."
"That's right, human. You have committed too many wrongdoings. If it weren't for you, our young master wouldn't have become like this. People must be responsible for their actions, so you are destined to die."
"Even if you become a ghost and follow us to the ghost city, the King will still take your life. You have no right or power to resist. I advise you to give up and die obediently."
As the group of ghost clan members spoke, they raised their weapons again. They were clearly prepared for battle at any moment, which made Liu Buli feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.
Although he had roughly guessed it, hearing them state his uniqueness so firmly still made his mood uncontrollably complex.
So, the Ghost King hated him to this extent?
From a certain perspective, that was indeed something to be proud of.
All the ghost clan members watched Liu Buli with wary expressions. A couple of them, not knowing their place, even said to Lu Wuming, "Young master, we know about your relationship with this human. However, the King also said there are many beauties in the world, and there's no need to be fixated on this one. After we kill him, the King will find you someone even more beautiful and obedient, who can also break his legs and imprison him in the ghost city. This way, he will obediently stay by your side and won't run around all day like this person."
Liu Buli’s lips twitched.
Had his tendency to run around also spread to the ghost city?
His mood became even more complex. He wanted to say something, but Lu Wuming stepped forward and blocked him.
Stretching his limbs, Lu Wuming said, "If you want to die, just come at me. Why all the nonsense? Insulting my master, are you tired of dying a pathetic death?"
