Chapter 654: Chapter 654: He, the Yin Mountain Ghost King, Is an Out-and-Out Man
Even though Sebastian knew that the Violet in front of him wasn’t an ordinary person, he still instinctively shielded her in his arms when he was thrown backward.
Fortunately, because he was in a soul body state, he didn’t experience too much impact upon landing.
However, Violet couldn’t help but glance at him, her eyes slightly wide in surprise.
But quickly, she had other things to focus on besides Sebastian.
Feeling a pressure-laden aura approaching, Violet looked up to meet the obviously angry gaze of the Ghost King.
The Ghost King before her, surrounded by Evil Qi, had several gaps in his Ghost Energy, even missing an arm.
Clearly, though he had chased her, he hadn’t gained any advantage against Scarlett.
Looking at the Ghost King, Violet’s first reaction wasn’t curiosity about his sorry state, but rather…
“You’re the Ghost King? No! You’re a man?!”
Where is the promised female Ghost King?!
The Ghost King just stared at her coldly,
“Life Impermanence? Are you here to interfere with my matters too?!”
Before Violet could answer, a bolt of Fire Thunder chased from the sky, accompanied by a familiar sound,
“Heaven and Earth Fire, Myriad Techniques Burn, please issue the Imperial Decree, scorch all directions!”
This was not the Fire Thunder infused with Phoenix Power from before, but a regular one learned from Elysia Xander, just with slightly greater power.
The Fire Thunder struck the Yin Mountain Ghost King.
Although the Ghost King blocked it with Ghost Energy in time, several new holes were blasted into his body.
The thick Ghost Energy that originally surrounded him was now in tatters, almost unrecognizable.
Compared to his initially imposing and cool Ghost King image, he was now in a truly sorry state.
Infuriated, the Ghost King roared,
“Why must you, little Master, persist in opposing me?! Beatrice and I have a past life promise and destinies intertwined. You forcibly sever our bond; all the ghosts of Yin Mountain won’t tolerate you!”
Scarlett stood on the open ground not far away, just watching him coldly,
“I don’t care about past life promises; all I know is humans and ghosts travel different paths.”
She paused, glanced at Sebastian over there, and added,
“Besides, he’s a man.”
Only now did Sebastian finally understand why he was being targeted, echoing somewhat exasperatedly,
“Did you hear that? I’m a man! You’ve got the wrong person!”
“I know you’re a man!”
The Ghost King glanced at him impatiently and added, “Don’t worry, I won’t mind.”
Even with Sebastian’s patience, he couldn’t help but get angry,
“Don’t you understand human speech?! You may not mind, but I mind!”
The Ghost King suddenly turned his head, glaring at him,
“I, the illustrious Ghost King, dare you despise me?”
“Even if you were heaven’s king, it would be the same!”
Seeing the Ghost King about to erupt again, Scarlett promptly interrupted their argument,
“You claim you two have destinies intertwined, but what proof do you have that he’s the one you’re looking for?”
Facing Scarlett, the Ghost King was not as arrogant as initially but toned down a bit, saying coldly,
“His soul bears the aura of my wife. I’ve been searching for her soul for a thousand years; I can’t possibly be mistaken… Besides, he looks exactly like her!”
As he spoke, he raised his intact hand with a wave.
A huge projection seemed to fall from the void, and when they looked up, what they saw was Sebastian’s famous top-trending flower boy photo.
Everyone: …
Sebastian: …
So, this photo was the real culprit???
Sebastian’s face looked somewhat unsightly.
Violet looked at the photo, then at Sebastian, thinking if it were her, seeing such a photo would stir her heart as well.
However, that’s no reason for being forced into marriage!
Scarlett said,
“Even if his soul had a promise with you once, over a thousand years, he’s been reincarnated at least ten times. The current him is no longer the person you knew.”
“I don’t care! Anyway, I insist he’s my wife! You better not stop me!”
“Just because you say he’s your wife? I say he’s my husband instead!”
Violet couldn’t help but retort, and the next second, as if she thought of something, she suddenly hugged Sebastian’s arm,
“Do you think just because you’re a Ghost King you can do as you please? I’m telling you, Sebastian is my fiancé!”
Violet’s words not only stunned the Yin Mountain Ghost King but also left Sebastian and Scarlett surprised.
Violet’s expression didn’t change, just held Sebastian’s hand tightly, and Sebastian seemed to realize, quickly adjusted his expression, and said,
“That’s right.”
Violet continued,
“I’m Life Impermanence, though not officially part of the Underworld staff, I’m still governed by them. You’re snatching a bride right from under the Underworld’s nose; do you believe I won’t report you to the Underworld?!”
Violet said, not waiting for the Ghost King to respond, continued,
“And those Yin Mountain ghosts helping you in this snatching, I’ll report each one of them too?!
I’ll also go through the Spiritual Affairs APP channel. I’ll expose the Yin Mountain Ghost King snatching my fiancé publicly! I’ll make your Yin Mountain Ghost King and those little ghosts lose face in the Underworld and Mystical Sect forever!”
The Ghost King was momentarily dumbfounded by her fierce words, especially at the thought of exposure through Spiritual Affairs…
His expression twisted for a moment, but he quickly recovered,
“You claim you two have a marriage contract, but I don’t see a trace of a marriage thread between you! You’re clearly faking it!”
Facing the Ghost King’s doubts, Violet calmly pulled out her phone.
This was a phone specially for Spiritual Affairs, and its system was linked to her original phone.
After scrolling through her phone for a while, she surprisingly found a photo of Sebastian… shirtless!
And it wasn’t just any public photo, but a private backstage changing photo.
After all, even though Sebastian came from the idol world, he never marketed his physique publicly, nor did he often expose his body.
But in Violet’s photo, Sebastian had one hand unbuttoning his shirt, with the shirt’s collar wide open, clearly showing his toned pecs and the hint of abs further down…
Sebastian himself had never even seen this photo, but judging from his hairstyle and the background of the dressing room, it should be from last year’s concert…
Which was when Violet said she went to see his concert.
Combining it with her claim of being Life Impermanence and having body-out-of-soul abilities, Sebastian found it hard not to doubt how she took that photo…
Violet became a bit embarrassed as she caught him staring.
Because back then, she indeed took it sneakily.
When she realized her body was being moved, she hurriedly aimed to leave the room, using walls as shortcuts.
Accidentally, she ended up in Sebastian’s dressing room.
And another accident was she witnessed his changing moment.
She couldn’t resist and took some handsome abdominal photos.
Truthfully, she wasn’t exclusively a fan of Sebastian; more like she appreciated every handsome guy equally.
But setting aside Violet and Sebastian’s little incident.
After seeing that photo on Violet’s phone, the Yin Mountain Ghost King fell silent.
On one hand, he hadn’t expected what this Life Impermanence said to be true.
On the other, it was witnessing firsthand how Sebastian looked shirtless.
Though before coming for the bride, he had comforted himself with the idea that it didn’t matter if Beatrice was a man this lifetime, because he loved the soul.
He planned to dress him as a bride and tried hard to ignore his gender.
He had indeed convinced himself, yet when witnessing Sebastian’s inherently male physique, he couldn’t help but break down.
He, the Yin Mountain Ghost King, a pure man’s man.
…Only liked women.
