First Summoner

The little girl in Shen Yan's arms seemed to be tired of crying. She rested her little head on Shen Yan's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Yan held her in his arms and came to the thirteenth level of purgatory.

She and Hong Ling walked side by side, and behind them followed the three evil ghosts including Bian Weng.

When they reached the outside of the ghost town, Hong Ling's expression became complicated.

They entered the ghost town unimpeded, and the Little Ghost King and other ghosts including Wei Pan, who had learned the news, were already waiting outside the Ghost Palace.

From a distance, Hong Ling saw the little boy standing at the leader.

She looked a little dazed.

The little ghost king Cheng Ye’s eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to his master’s.

Shen Yan couldn't help but look at Hong Ling beside her, and when she looked at her, Hong Ling's expression had returned to calm and looked extremely indifferent.

But in Shen Yan's opinion, her "indifference" seemed a bit deliberate.

The little ghost king Cheng Ye naturally noticed Hong Ling and had already guessed her identity in his mind. He walked forward steadily and bowed to Shen Yan.

"Cheng Ye has met my great aunt."

Hearing the words "great aunt", Hong Ling's face instantly became strange. She couldn't help but glance at Shen Yan several times, her eyes seemed to reveal a bit of disgust.

Shen Yan: "..."

Cheng Ye looked at Hong Ling and smiled, "I guess this must be King Hong Ling?"

"Why are you pretending to be a little adult?" Hong Ling sneered.

Cheng Ye remained calm, and responded calmly: "Although Cheng Ye is young, he is the ghost king who rules the hell layer. He cannot lose his manners, and he cannot be as innocent as his peers."

Hong Ling walked towards Cheng Ye, but Cheng Ye still maintained the demeanor of the Ghost King.

Hong Ling leaned over and reached out to pinch his cheek, but Cheng Ye raised his hand to block it.

Cheng Ye frowned, with a hint of anger on his young face, "King Hong Ling, what do you want to do? I'm not that familiar with you!"

He had heard about the affair between his mother and King Red Spirit, so he did not have a good impression of King Red Spirit.

Moreover, he was very resistant to the Red Spirit King in his heart.

If his great aunt had not been here, he would definitely not welcome the arrival of the Red Spirit King.

Hong Ling laughed jokingly, "The little brat is quite fierce."

"This king is not a little devil."

"I am more than 30,000 years older than you. It's not unfair for me to call you a brat, right?"

The little ghost king's face suddenly turned gloomy. He glared at the red spirit in front of him. Then he walked around the red spirit and came in front of Shen Yan.

His expression relaxed, and he asked softly, "Grandma, is this the sword spirit evil ghost?"

"She is my sword spirit, named Tianzhou." Shen Yan introduced.

The little ghost king said, "Are you going to take her away from the hell? I see that Tianzhou is now an evil spirit, and evil spirits cannot leave the hell. If you trust me, you can entrust her to my care."

There was a hint of surprise in Shen Yan's eyes. She didn't expect that he could say such steady words.

She really did have the intention to entrust someone with this.

Only when evil ghosts and resentful ghosts cleanse their resentment can they have a chance to leave the hell.

If you cannot cleanse your resentment, you will have to stay in the hell layer.

Xiao Tianzhou was now full of resentment, and she could not take her out of the hell layer for the time being. If it weren't for the fact that Hong Ling's life was about to end and Yao was still waiting for her at the observatory, she might have stayed to accompany Xiao Tianzhou.

Now time is running out and she has too many things to deal with, so she can only entrust Xiao Tianzhou to the care of the little ghost king Chengye.

Shen Yan stared at the little ghost king deeply, "Cheng Ye, help your great aunt take good care of Tianzhou."

The little ghost king glanced at the little girl in Shen Yan's arms, nodded his head, and promised: "Don't worry, Aunt Grandma, I will do my best to take care of Tianzhou."

Hong Ling, who was standing by, looked at the little brat and saw how sensible he was, and lowered her eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes.

The next moment, she frowned uncomfortably. The severe pain from the old injury made her breathing a little disordered.

The Little Ghost King seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at Hong Ling.

But when Hong Ling looked at him, she raised her rouged red lips with a hint of provocation.

The little devil king's face turned cold.

And the moment he turned his head, Hong Ling pursed her lips and looked at Shen Yan for help.

Shen Yan said to Cheng Ye calmly: "Cheng Ye, please arrange a place for Hong Hong and me to live."

The little ghost king smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. Cheng Ye has already arranged a place for you to stay. Please follow Cheng Ye."

"What about me?" Hong Ling raised her eyebrows.

When the little ghost king looked at Hong Ling, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared completely, and he said in a very cold tone: "It has also been arranged."

Hong Ling snorted, "Treat them differently."

The little devil king ignored her.

When Hong Ling wanted to say something, her face changed slightly and she pursed her lips.

Shen Yan saw that she was holding on, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Not long after, the little ghost king personally took them to live in the ghost palace.

Hong Ling swaggered into a bedroom, then leaned on the couch and chuckled, "I'm tired. When you go out, help me close the door."

Seeing her being so lazy, the little ghost king gritted his teeth secretly.

I thought to myself: With her temper, it’s no wonder her mother broke up with her.

As his great aunt was still there, he could only swallow his anger and close the door.

His face puffed up with anger.

Shen Yan glanced at the closed palace door, then said to the Little Ghost King: "Cheng Ye, let's go."

Cheng Ye nodded obediently.

Not long after they left, Hong Ling could no longer hold on. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, and blood immediately seeped out from between her fingers.

If she hadn't been wearing heavy makeup, her face would have been very pale and weak.

She took out a bottle of soul beads from the storage space, opened the bottle cap, tilted her head back and swallowed all ten soul beads in the bottle.

After taking the soul bead, she gradually felt a little comfortable.

After Shen Yan settled Xiao Tianzhou, she came to find Hong Ling.

She silently took her pulse and found that Hong Ling's pulse was very weak.

Hong Ling smiled softly and said, "Ayan, I feel like a waste now."

Shen Yan just looked at her and didn't say anything.

Hong Ling pouted and said, "You are not cute at all, just like that little brat."

"do you like him?"

"Hmph, I don't like it."

"If you don't like it, why are you teasing him?"

Hong Ling choked and immediately argued, "I teased him because I didn't like him."

Shen Yan sat beside her, holding her hand and transferring ghost power to her to calm her chaotic breath, and said, "I can see that you don't hate him."

Hong Ling felt the warmth coming from her body. She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yan: "He hates me."

Her tone was calm, mixed with a hint of complicated emotions.

After a pause, she added: "But I don't need him to like me."

Shen Yan looked at her and said, "You have a knot in your heart."

"I guess so." Hong Ling smiled and then changed the subject: "Now that we have found Xiao Tianzhou, how many days do you plan to stay in the Ghost Palace before leaving the Hell Layer?"

Shen Yan shook her head: "Not sure, let's wait until Tianzhou wakes up."
