"Very good, get up, ghost."
"yes."
The ghost stood up and just halfway up, he suddenly stopped.
Ghost? The Palace Master called me Ghost? He knew my identity all along? My hiding was a complete joke?
He suddenly looked up and saw Xiao Mu's half-smile.
The ghost man was numb, completely numb, and looked like he had been torn apart.
After a long while, he swallowed his dry throat.
"Palace...Palace Master, have you known my origins for a long time?"
"Of course." Xiao Mu said.
The ghost had a sad face.
What on earth did I experience today?
First, he spent a lot of money to bid for a soul bone that he liked, and then he was targeted by the damn Haotian Sect. After he barely escaped the pursuit of the Haotian Sect, he accidentally entered the Soul Palace and successfully joined the Soul Palace after a series of operations.
Guimei strongly suspected that he was in a dream, and his experiences in one day were richer than his experiences in several years.
"Palace Master, you know I'm an elder of the Spirit Hall, yet you still dare to let me join the Spirit Hall? Aren't you afraid that I might betray you, or steal the Spirit Hall's secrets and hand them over to the Spirit Hall?"
Then, Guimei saw Xiao Mu's smiling face.
"Don't be afraid, be good, just sign this."
Xiao Mu took out a soul contract and handed it to the ghost.
After taking a look at this ghostly contract with a terrifying howl, Ghost Douluo felt his scalp tingle and swallowed several times.
"Palace Master, can I not sign?"
Ghost Douluo was about to cry. He had already joined Soul Palace, and they were all family. Wouldn't it be better to give him a little more trust? Why did he have to do this?
Xiao Mu raised the soul contract in his hand and took out another soul bone with his other hand.
Ghost Douluo swallowed again, but this time it was not out of nervousness and fear, but desire and covetousness.
He could feel that this soul bone and the soul bone he had won in the auction came from the same kind of soul beast, and both were skulls.
However, the soul bone in Xiao Mu's hand is definitely older than the one he got. It is already ten thousand years old, no, it should be twenty thousand years.
Xiao Mu tossed the soul bone in his hand.
"If you just sign this contract, it'll be good for you, me, and everyone else. This 20,000-year-old Soul Devourer Beast soul bone is your reward. You must be very eager for a Soul Devourer Beast soul bone, right? The one I have is much better than the one you bought at auction."
Ghost Douluo asked quietly, "What if I don't sign?"
Another snap of fingers.
The thunder and fire that had just disappeared were once again hanging over the fortress.
Once the thunder and fire condense, they will not disappear easily. It seemed to disappear just now, but in fact it gathered in the core of the Soul Palace.
This thunder and fire not only provides energy for the Soul Palace Fortress, but also appears immediately when used again, without the need to slowly condense the thunder attribute element.
The ghost looked at the thunder and fire right above his head, and tears of "touching" filled his eyes.
He was a Titled Douluo, and he had never shed tears even when he was beaten by Tang Hao, but this time he really couldn't help it.
Although there were no physical injuries, the soul was already riddled with holes.
"I'll give you three seconds to grieve over the passing of time. You must make your choice. Three, two..."
"I'll sign it. I'll sign it."
Xiao Mu reported two numbers without any sense of martial ethics. Ghost Douluo had no time to comfort his injured heart and hurriedly said.
"Very good, you are very sensible. This Palace Master is very satisfied."
Xiao Mu directly asked Ghost Douluo to sign the soul contract. Unexpectedly, the first soul contract was not signed when selling the elixir, but was signed first by the lucky guy Gui Mei. What a blessing.
"then."
After beating the ghosts for so long, you have to give them some sweet rewards, right?
Xiao Mu threw the 20,000-year-old soul-devouring beast's head soul bone to Guimei.
Guimei was really about to cry, this time out of excitement.
The Palace Master is a good man. He did not continue to be a bad person and actually gave him this soul bone.
Guimei was overwhelmed with emotions and even felt a little grateful to Xiao Mu.
Guimei wanted to slap himself. What was wrong with him? When did he become so easily bribed?
But now, he can't regret it except accepting it silently.
Although he didn't know how much the contract restricted him and whether it could take his life at any time, he didn't dare to betray the Soul Palace.
"Huo Yuan."
Xiao Mu called Huo Yuan, who was busy as a madman, over.
"Palace Master, do you have anything to tell me?"
After Huo Yuan joined the Soul Palace, he never had a single day of free time. He can be said to be a top-notch worker.
But she was happy to do it. The Palace Master entrusted so many things to her. Doesn't that mean he valued her very much?
Every task assigned by the Palace Master must be completed well, so as not to disappoint the Palace Master's expectations.
"This Ghost Douluo will be one of the Four Celestial Lords of our Soul Palace from now on. You will help him familiarize himself with our Soul Palace and explain its rules. Later, call all the Celestial Lords to the Palace."
"yes."
Huo Yuan responded.
The Soul Palace has gained another Heavenly Master and its strength has improved. This is truly a great thing and should be celebrated.
"Four Celestial Lords, please follow me."
"good."
Guimei has gradually accepted the reality. Although he changed his allegiance in the blink of an eye, at least he got a soul bone that suits him. It's worth it, really not a loss.
Guimei didn't know what was wrong with him, but his eyes always became moist.
Under Huo Yuan's guidance, Ghost Douluo began to have a deeper understanding of the Soul Palace.
He also knew the powerful effects of the Soul Palace Fortress and its beneficial effects on spiritual practice.
For a level 95 Super Douluo like Guimei, it is very difficult to improve his strength any further. With the amplification effect of the Soul Palace, his hope of making further progress has greatly increased.
Let's just make the best of it. The Soul Palace seems pretty good, even better than the Spirit Palace in many aspects.
Ghost Douluo gradually thought so.
"Oh, right." Huo Yuan suddenly remembered a very important rule.
"Four Heavenly Lords, when you go out in the future, remember to smile like this."
"laugh?"
Guimei didn't understand why the Soul Palace had any requirements for Xiao.
"That's right, lol. This is the symbol of our Soul Palace. It contains powerful magical power. Hehehe, remember it?"
"Hehehe."
Ghost Douluo imitated a laugh and then asked:
"Is that how you laugh?"
Huo Yuan stared at Guimei blankly. Guimei's laughter reminded Huo Yuan of a word.
A match made in heaven.
Guimei is absolutely perfect for this laugh, and combined with his unique temperament, they are simply one and the same.
Huo Yuan knew why the Palace Master wanted this person to join the Soul Palace. This person was simply born for the Soul Palace.
The ghost himself also felt a little refreshed.
After laughing like this, he felt that all his pressure and grievances were released at once, making him feel relaxed and refreshed.
The Soul Palace is indeed very profound, even its laughter has such an effect.
"Hehehe."
Huo Yuan: ...
It's okay to smile like this when you are outside, but don't do it in the Soul Palace. It sounds creepy.
For some reason, Huo Yuan felt that Ghost Douluo seemed to enjoy this kind of laughter.
"Hehehe~"
