Susie Yun wanted to refuse, but when she saw Yuna Ye's friendly gaze, she felt too embarrassed to speak up. In the end, she could only sit in the same carriage with Yuna Ye, feeling somewhat aggrieved. This way, Ryan Ouyang couldn't wander about freely—otherwise, if something supernatural happened, wouldn't Yuna Ye be scared to death?
When they returned to the Ghost King's Manor, Susie Yun suddenly fainted, frightening Ryan Ouyang so much he nearly lost his soul.
In the Nether Courtyard, Ryan Ouyang paced anxiously beside Morgan Shangguan, repeatedly asking, "Miss, what's wrong with Susie?"
Morgan Shangguan reached out to check Susie Yun's pulse, completely ignoring him. Unwilling to give up, Ryan Ouyang persisted, "Is it because the journey was too exhausting?"
Seeing Morgan Shangguan still silent, he asked again, "Did she eat something bad?" It wasn't his fault for being so anxious—Susie Yun had always been healthy and rarely got sick. For her to suddenly faint like this, how could he not be scared?
Morgan Shangguan shook her head with a smile. "She didn't eat anything bad, but there's something new in her belly!"
"What?" Ryan Ouyang looked as if the sky was falling. Something new in her belly—wasn't that serious? "How do we get it out?"
Morgan Shangguan replied calmly, "It will come out naturally when the time is right."
Damien Gray raised his eyebrows, suddenly understanding. Watching Ryan Ouyang's anxious expression, he couldn't help but exchange a smile with Morgan Shangguan. Meeting his gaze, Morgan frowned slightly and reflected—she really had been a bit mischievous!
"Don't worry, Susie is fine. From now on, don't follow me everywhere—don't let her get too tired!"
Ryan Ouyang grew even more anxious when he heard this. If Susie couldn't even leave the house, it had to be something serious!
Seeing this, Morgan Shangguan realized she hadn't explained clearly yet and was about to speak, when suddenly a burst of laughter rang out.
"Haha..." Jing Moke laughed so hard he bent over. Realizing everyone was looking at him, he quickly waved his hand, struggling to say, "Sorry, I just couldn't hold it in! Haha... this is killing me!"
Ryan Ouyang looked as if he wanted to strangle Jing Moke, so Gu Yihan quickly pulled him away with a smile. Both he and Jing Moke were skilled in medicine, so they could easily guess what was happening. Seeing Ryan Ouyang act as though the sky was falling, even he couldn't help but laugh!
To Morgan Shangguan, Jing Moke, Gu Yihan, and Ryan Ouyang were all her own people. Naturally, she couldn't let her own people be invisible to each other, so Jing Moke and Gu Yihan could see Ryan Ouyang!
As the two left, Yuna Ye glanced at Susie Yun, realizing she couldn't help either, and quietly followed them outside.
Morgan Shangguan couldn't help but laugh, "Ouyang, don't worry so much. Susie is just pregnant!"
"Pregnant?" Ryan Ouyang exclaimed, then looked at Susie Yun, hesitating, "But... I..." After a long moment, he still couldn't express himself. Now he was both happy and worried!
Morgan Shangguan understood what he wanted to say and reassured him, "Don't worry, Susie will be fine. But this child will definitely be different from ordinary children. As long as you and Susie don't mind, I'll make sure the child is healthy!"
Ryan Ouyang held Susie Yun's hand and said, "How could I ever mind? Susie will love the child too. Thank you, Miss!" Choosing to follow Morgan Shangguan truly was the right decision!
Morgan Shangguan said, "Let Susie rest for a while. The journey was too exhausting, that's why she fainted!"
Ryan Ouyang nodded, and Morgan Shangguan took Damien Gray by the hand and walked out.
Damien Gray asked curiously, "What will be different about that child?"
Morgan Shangguan glanced at him and smiled, "Just like you—half human, half ghost!"
Humans and ghosts walk different paths. That child shouldn't exist in this world, so when the child is born, ghost envoys will come to claim its soul—unless it's someone as strong as Damien Gray, who might survive.
So in most cases, such children are stillborn.
But with Morgan Shangguan here, even the ghost envoys will have a hard time claiming souls!
Morgan Shangguan smiled. When the time comes, she might as well visit Grandpa! Since it's within his jurisdiction, she should greet him—otherwise, if things get out of hand, it would be difficult for him, and besides, she missed him a little!
After stepping outside, Yuna Ye didn't see Gu Yihan or Jing Moke. She couldn't help but wonder—how did they disappear in the blink of an eye?
She looked around but still saw no one, so she stopped and sighed. She hadn't expected the Ghost King to actually be the Ghostmaster. The whole martial world knew the legends of the Ghostmaster, and as for the Ghost King, she'd heard her father mention him before. But every time he spoke, he only shook his head and sighed, never saying much. In her memory, the Ghost King was just a withered tree, but now she realized he'd only been hiding his true strength.
Yuna Ye frowned in thought, unsure if she should tell Shuyang Ye about this. She always felt there was some connection between Shuyang Ye and the Ghost King. Otherwise, why would a martial artist care so much about someone from the royal family? And every time he mentioned him, he sighed, as if filled with regret.
She had tried asking Shuyang Ye before, but he never said anything, so she stopped asking.
But thinking about it, revealing someone else's secret on her own didn't seem right. And just from these recent interactions, she knew the Ghostmaster was a truly unpredictable person. If she was careless, she might bring disaster to the whole Ye Sect. It was best not to say anything!
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a rustling sound and heavy breathing. She listened carefully and walked toward the source of the noise.
"Tsk tsk... Already a grown man and still afraid of medicine!"
Yuna Ye saw two people in disheveled clothes inside the cave beneath the fake mountain and was stunned. Her gaze landed on the blood on Gu Yihan's shoulder and she quickly asked, "Brother Gu, are you hurt?"
Gu Yihan frowned, "It's nothing!" He glanced at Jing Moke, his look subtle.
Yuna Ye looked at the two, that strange feeling rising again. Even if they were applying medicine, they didn't need to be so close, right? And why was the person applying the medicine also disheveled? She couldn't figure it out, so finally said, "Let me help you!"
