CHAPTER 1696: CHAPTER 998. HUANGQUAN CITY LORD (1)

Chapter 998

Mo Jiuli and Lingling followed Dawen and Xiaowen, and soon arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion in Huangquan City. Dawen and Xiaowen were quite familiar with the City Lord, thus they directly took Mo Jiuli and Lingling to stay at the City Lord’s Mansion.

On the way, they had already discussed that Dawen and Xiaowen would find an opportunity to distract the City Lord. Then, Mo Jiuli and Lingling would quietly sneak into the City Lord’s study room to check the list of souls coming from the Human World to the Ghost World for any clues. If clues were found, it would be best; if not, they would think of other ways...

When they arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord was not there, but the housekeeper of the mansion was quite familiar with Dawen and Xiaowen. The housekeeper arranged a residence for them, and Dawen took the opportunity to help Mo Jiuli and Lingling get acquainted with the situation inside the mansion, so they wouldn’t make mistakes or could escape quickly if discovered...

After Mo Jiuli and Lingling were fairly familiar with the place, the City Lord of Huangquan City returned from outside. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly: "Dawen, Xiaowen, I thought you had forgotten me. Why haven’t you come to see me for such a long time!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuli and the others came out of the house. Mo Jiuli saw a middle-aged man in black clothes walking in through the gate, whose appearance was unusually handsome, with a cold demeanor and a pallid complexion, yet quite pleasing to the eye...

"Hahaha, Ning City Lord, how could we forget you? Aren’t we here now?" Dawen laughed and said, "Who knew you weren’t around? We’ve been waiting for quite a while!"

"Haha, as long as you haven’t forgotten! Eh? Who are these two?" Ning City Lord asked with a slight surprise when he saw Mo Jiuli and Lingling behind them.

Mo Jiuli’s appearance was really stunning, even in Huangquan City, there were no such peerless beauties!

"Is she the Dark Spirit?" Before Xiaowen could speak, Ning City Lord frowned and looked at Lingling.

Dawen and Xiaowen were taken aback upon hearing this. They had forgotten about Ning City Lord’s strength, which was higher than theirs and easily revealed Lingling’s identity. For a moment, both were worried! Afraid that the other party would discover Mo Jiuli was part of the Human Clan, they knew that the Ghost World did not allow the Human Clan to trespass. Even if they were Ghost Envoys, it was not permissible...

Unfortunately, their worries were soon realized. After being stunned by Mo Jiuli’s beauty, Ning City Lord quickly discovered the badge at her waist, his face darkened as he looked at Dawen and Xiaowen and said, "You two are really... follow me!"

Dawen and Xiaowen sighed lightly in helplessness, and could only lead Mo Jiuli and Lingling, following Ning City Lord to his study room. Ning City Lord closed the door and dismissed the guards at the door, then looked at Dawen and Xiaowen with displeasure, saying: "As Ghost Envoys, how can you bring the Human Clan into the Ghost World? She’s the Dark Spirit, it’s fine for her to be in the Ghost World, but the Human Clan is not allowed to enter the Ghost World, don’t you know?"

"Alas... Ning City Lord, please hear us out first! Lingling, Jiuli, he is Ning Wenxuan, City Lord of Huangquan City. Huangquan City has two City Lords, the other is called Wantian River, they take turns guarding Huangquan City! We’ve always had a good relationship with Ning City Lord, merely acquaintances with the other one!" Dawen introduced to Mo Jiuli about Ning City Lord, then looked at Ning and said: "Ning City Lord, this is Lingling, and her master Mo Jiuli, Lingling is our benefactor. Without Lingling, we would have long been in Soul Dispersal...
