Lu Wuming hadn't expected that after waiting for so long, the question he would receive would be this.
Looking at Thirteen's face with a hint of surprise, he remained silent for a moment before answering, "My master once told me that the first person to eat a crab doesn't know what it tastes like. When you want to do something, you don't need to ask others. Do what you want to do, and you will find your own answer."
These words were indeed a bit profound for Thirteen. So after a moment of silence, Thirteen obediently asked, "What... is a crab?"
"I haven't eaten one either, but my master said he would take me to try it when he has time. Whether it tastes good or not, I'll have to judge after I eat it myself. Anyway, after you leave that door, isn't it the human world outside? Your situation and mine are different. As long as you want to leave here, you can leave anytime. So going to the human world to eat something and make your own judgment, isn't that an easy thing to do?"
Lu Wuming said this and then waved his hand at Thirteen.
This was his way of telling the other party that he had nothing more to discuss with him and didn't intend to continue the conversation.
Looking at Lu Wuming at this moment, recalling his recent words, Thirteen suddenly felt that their young master was not just intelligent, but also incredibly powerful. Perhaps one day, if the Ghost King truly passed his position to this young man who appeared out of nowhere, Thirteen would have no complaints.
He thanked the young master solemnly, and Thirteen thought for a moment before notifying the Ghost King of the matter he was powerless to handle, and then turned to leave.
Although their previous fight hadn't affected a large area, the woman who was already on the verge of death was ultimately overwhelmed by their ghostly aura and lost her life.
Lu Wuming had no intention of eating her, and seeing her turn into a corpse at this moment, he frowned even more directly.
He closed his eyes, pretending not to have seen anything. Just then, from the great hall nearby, the Ghost King's voice sounded again.
He said, "I thought no one was watching you now, and you hadn't returned to this palace, so I thought you might escape."
"Then it seems in your eyes, I am truly an utter fool."
With a cold laugh, Lu Wuming responded, "Even if there's no one around me now, there are definitely no fewer people watching me. You only sent Thirteen just now. I can defeat him, but if it were Chu Yi, I might not be his match. Aren't the numbers smaller the more powerful they are? Judging by that, Chu Yi is the strongest dog under your command, right?"
He had merely spoken casually, not expecting the Ghost King to respond at all.
But to his surprise, after hearing his words, the Ghost King very seriously gave him a response, saying, "The smaller the number, the more special abilities they possess. Take Chu San, for example. You've fought her more than once. You don't need me to tell you how strong she is, you can feel it yourself. So, I want to say that your guess this time is wrong. If it were Chu Yi who came, he wouldn't be able to defeat you. He doesn't have that strength, he wouldn't even be able to hurt you."
The Ghost King spoke as if it were a matter of course, and Lu Wuming couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. After a moment of silence, he said, "But you won't tell me their special abilities so easily, will you?"
"You think of me like this, and it truly disappoints me." The Ghost King's response was a light laugh, and he said, "From beginning to end, it's you who has been misunderstanding me. As your father, I believe my attitude towards you has been quite good. But, child. It's you who has never shown me your true heart, so how can you blame me for this?"
True heart?
Hearing this, Lu Wuming felt like throwing up.
He simply chose to give up on the conversation. Instead, the Ghost King continued to drone on, "All the things you want to know, I will tell you everything when the time is right. You can rest assured about this, and there's no need to pry from me anymore. With this time, why don't you consider carefully why you can't open your heart and accept my love for you?"
"Your love for me is like these corpses?"
Interrupting the Ghost King, Lu Wuming replied with a tone full of disgust.
The Ghost King naturally understood what he meant.
In his response, his tone was much calmer and more indifferent. He said, "Child, you can't always think like this. I saw all your interactions with Thirteen just now. But he's right, the reason you are so strong is because my blood flows within you. Even if you refuse to accept your destiny, you will still be a bit stronger than those who have accepted theirs. But think about it, if you were willing to accept your destiny, wouldn't you become even stronger than them?"
Strong as hell!
Lu Wuming cursed fiercely in his heart.
However, at least at this moment, he could be sure that the Ghost King, like those foolish ghosts, had the same idea. They all believed that so-called power came from human corpses, not from any other direction.
Lu Wuming had no intention of correcting him, so he directly asked, "If you want to force me to eat something else, hurry up and bring them. Honestly, waiting too long is annoying."
He didn't expect that after hearing his words, the Ghost King's action would be to open the door wide for him.
With a voice filled with a thick smile, the Ghost King replied, "It's alright, child. I know you won't be obedient through force alone. So wait another two days, and when Chu Yi returns, I'll let him help you experience the joy and beauty of this matter."
