Chapter 394: Here We Are, All Set

Chapter 394: Here We Are, All Set

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Everyone shook their heads, unable to believe it.

"The Ghost King has godlike abilities; he would never be this small!"

"He is towering, and his voice isn't this shrill. Moreover, our Ghost King isn't human at all; he can disappear at any moment. How could he be like this?"

"Exactly, this definitely isn't our Ghost King!"

Ruo Xi Baby looked at the crowd, glanced at the curtain, and then turned to her mother: "Mommy, why don't you go act it out?"

"Xier, you really have high expectations of your mother!" Xiaoyue laughed and shook her head, saying, "Let me perform for you, and you can see what it looks like."

Xiaoyue walked behind the curtain, lit a candle, and stood in the middle. Slowly, as the candleholder descended, a tall figure was projected onto the curtain.

"Wow, Yue'er, you still have such a great figure!" Liu Ru Shi exclaimed.

Xiaoyue cleared her throat and began to speak.

"All of you, kneel down before me!" A sharp, hoarse, and menacing voice rang out, hollow and terrifying, like the voice of the King of the Underworld, making the Ghost King's subordinates' legs go weak.

"What, what is this?" everyone asked.

"It's merely a bamboo tube. The bamboo tube has a specially curved angle, and when you speak into it, it changes the voice!" Xiaoyue had the curtain raised and showed the bamboo tube she was holding.

"So, he's been deceiving us all along? This dwarf is absolutely revolting!"

"Yes, looking like this, how can he be the Ghost King? He's mocking our intelligence!"

"All these years, we've been living in the underground city, never seeing the light of day... Oh my, doesn't he look exactly like a rat?"

Everyone looked at the Ghost King, their faces filled with disdain.

The Ghost King had always been revered, controlling the entire underground city.

But now, he looked like a rat, blackened by smoke, completely hideous.

The capture of the underground city took only two hours.

Every key passage in the underground city was guarded, and the already timid fugitives knelt down one after another.

They were always terrified of officials, and now, hearing that the emperor had arrived, how could they not be anxious?

Ruo Xi Baby followed her mother and Ci Xin as they explored, finding many treasures.

"Isn't this a royal treasure from the palace? A jade Ruyi, how did it end up here?" Liu Ru Shi held a jade Ruyi, examining it carefully, and said, "Even here, it's difficult to sell. This was something from the previous emperor's possession. Whoever takes it will be found out!"

"That's true. Jade isn't like other materials; it can't be melted down and remade into something else," Yuan Hui added.

"Perhaps someone wants to establish a new nation?" Ci Xin suggested.

"Little Heart is correct. With the current political situation, there are still many royal relatives from the previous dynasty. Back then, they held significant military power and authority. Now, the emperor hasn't reclaimed it all yet. We really need to conduct a thorough investigation!"

Ruo Xi Baby thought to herself, glancing at her uncle.

When they went north before, that Prince Kang was no good. His family hoarded a lot of things, not to mention being as rich as a nation, and he was also a pervert.

And earlier, when Ruo Xi Baby accompanied her mother south to Yunzhou and Chizhou, especially Chizhou, the Five Elements Clan was also no good.

Therefore, Ruo Xi Baby thought it would be better to go east or west, since it seemed that some princes of the Great Wei Empire were still scattered across many cities.

These princes aren't moving now, but that doesn't mean they won't in the future.

"Were these items sold before?" Xiaoyue asked.

"Your Highness, the Princess Royal, these items have been sold before, all to the same person!" The vendor lowered his head and spoke in a timid voice.

"Where did you get these from?" Ci Xin asked.

"They were... stolen from the palace." The person's voice became even softer.

"Good!" Xiao Yin simply nodded without saying much, then continued to take Baby to inspect other stalls.

"This midwife has killed many people!" Walking up to a tent, Ci Xin looked at the midwife in front of him and said, "You're surrounded by the souls of children. Aren't you uncomfortable? Don't you feel cold?"

"I'm cold, so very cold!" The midwife nodded, looking timidly at Ci Xin.

"Wow, Little Heart is really something! This charm technique is amazing!" Ruo Xi Baby thought.

The so-called midwife went completely mad.

"Let her be. Don't kill her; let her live or die here." Ci Xin said.

"Yes, this midwife is absolutely the worst!" Liu Ru Shi nodded: "I just asked around, and it turns out she specializes in killing the girls who come to her. She does it for the six or seven-month-old dead fetuses and placentas, which she sells for money. And those are all children who can't see the light of day, so most of them don't survive."

"Truly despicable! This old hag is worse than anyone!" Xiaoyue also gritted her teeth.

Ruo Xi Baby thought for a moment, then with a small hand, she directly crushed the old woman's intestines.

"Ahhh! It hurts, it hurts so much!" The old woman didn't dare to commit suicide, just rolled on the ground in excruciating pain, wishing she were dead.

Xiao Yin led the group, and they didn't ascend from the underground city until dawn.

A grand fleet of ships emerged from the underground city. The people by the river didn't see clearly at first, but when they did, they immediately jumped up, screaming and running away.

"Ahhh, there are so many boats in the river! Are they here to claim lives? So many ghosts, so scary!"

"Where? Where? Aren't those all living people? Isn't that a child? Is that our Little Princess?"

"Oh my, I heard there's a ghost market inside. Someone said they saw boats in the middle of the night. I thought they were ghosts, but now it seems, it's real. It's too scary inside!"

"It's the Little Princess, it's His Majesty the Emperor, it's really them. So good, so good!"

The people stood by the river, watching His Majesty the Emperor and the others come up.

Some of the people even blamed His Majesty the Emperor. How could he let the Little Princess go to such a dirty place?

"I heard it's all things that can't be seen. We usually hear a little about it, but we dare not openly go looking for it!"

"Coming up is good. Just clean them up. Don't let them continue to harm everyone. It's too scary inside!"
