Chapter 1307: Chapter 958, Ballad

The Ghost Lady watched him warily.

Wu Heng leaned against the chair back, his hand rubbing the armrest, "You’re already a captive, what other plan could I have? Now that the island is finally safe and there are fewer tourists, I thought I’d let you go out for some fresh air. If you don’t want to, forget it."

"Hmph!" The Lady narrowed her fox-like eyes, "The Holy Court is attacking? That’s why you’re suddenly so kind-hearted..."

The news she received was still that the Holy Court was about to attack Gold and Silver Island.

Wu Heng suddenly wanting to let her out for fresh air aroused her suspicions. Could it be that the army of the Holy Court was already on its way?

Only then would this brat’s conscience kick in, allowing her to see the territory he’d built before making a run for it.

"Aunt!" Xiao Xiao, who had been eavesdropping nearby, flew over immediately, "You sound like the suspicious villains in those ancient dramas!"

"Just like that." She clutched her throat, mimicking the tone, "I don’t believe it! This must be the trap of a villain."

"You little brat," the Lady gave her a sidelong glance.

Although she didn’t fully understand, she knew it wasn’t anything good.

Bella also floated over and said, "You don’t need to worry, the fleet of the Holy Court has already sunk in the Emerald Sea, and the two heroes have been driven away."

"Just relying on him, a hero who just advanced a few months ago?" The Lady sneered.

Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips, "Don’t underestimate us. We’ve killed a Pope, and the Religious Leader had to become a ghost to flee. We’re much stronger than you."

The Lady looked at Wu Heng suspiciously.

The latter said, "There’s no need to deceive you. The Holy Court’s matter has been resolved, and for a long time to come, there basically won’t be any problems."

Xiao Xiao added, "We also killed the previous Pope."

After saying that, she puffed out her chest proudly.

The Lady was stunned, unable to move for a long time, her brow tightly furrowed.

She had envisioned countless possibilities: Wu Heng fleeing in panic, the Holy Court massacring Gold and Silver Island, even herself taking the opportunity to escape... But she hadn’t anticipated this conclusion.

Moreover, the previous Pope was also killed by Wu Heng?

How did she not get this information?

If she had this intelligence, she wouldn’t have just used the female priest to frame him.

Wu Heng continued, "Afraid you’d get bored, if you don’t want to go out, that’s fine. You can watch some movies at home."

The Lady, speechless, turned her head away, sulking as she asked, "What are the conditions?"

In the end, she still wanted to go out and have a look.

No one wants to be trapped in the Demon Soul Pot all day, and the Three Ghosts talk about the outside world every day.

It only made her more eager to go out and see for herself.

Wu Heng smiled, "First, you follow Glenda; second, don’t hurt others."

"That’s it?" The Lady’s suspicion deepened, "Besides these, you don’t want to trade anything else?"

"No other requirements, just don’t cause trouble." Wu Heng continued.

As they spoke, the distance outside the window suddenly lit up. All the streetlights on Gold and Silver Island lit up.

"Can I go out now?" the Lady suddenly asked.

Wu Heng glanced at Glenda, "How much longer?"

"I’ve finished writing." Glenda flew over, handing him the contents she’d finished writing, "See if there’s anything that needs to be revised."

What Glenda wrote was the content to be published in the newspaper tomorrow.

Other news didn’t require Glenda’s responsibility, but when it came to matters concerning Wu Heng and publicity, Glenda had to personally draft it.

"Very good, take the Lady out for a stroll, but don’t come back too late. She might dissipate if she stays out of the Demon Soul Pot for too long," Wu Heng said.

"Alright, I’ll first take you to the tavern on the island, then directly to the entertainment center," Glenda said.

The Lady nodded.

Xiao Xiao raised her hand, "I want to go too."

Wu Heng nodded, "Go ahead, take care of the Lady."

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao said, and immediately phased through the wall to leave.

The Lady looked over and then followed them out, followed by Glenda and Bella.

All the ghosts at home left.

...

Voices of women talking echoed in the hallway.

Wu Heng opened the door and stepped out, seeing these people finished watching the movie and were chatting as they walked out.

Upon seeing him come out, Xi Ligui quickly walked over, "It’s dark now, Shi Yali and I are heading back first."

Wu Heng took her hand, and Xi Ligui instinctively tried to pull away, but he held on tighter.

"Don’t go back," Wu Heng said softly, "just stay here."

Xi Ligui’s pointed ears turned red instantly, and she quickly glanced at the others not far away, lowering her voice, "What if someone sees us? Besides, if Shi Yali and I both stay with you, it would be so embarrassing."

"You despise me!" Wu Heng said angrily.

"No! I’m a Steward and you’re an Association Hero. If this gets out, it wouldn’t be good for your reputation..." Xi Ligui looked behind her again, "How about you come back with us? Shi Yali misses you so much she’s about to go crazy."

Wu Heng, seeing her so cautious, found it amusing and said, "I’ll come by in a couple of days."

Xi Ligui nodded, "Okay, don’t forget."

After speaking, she turned around and casually walked back to where Shanaela and the others were.

Wu Heng and the maids escorted the two sisters to the gates of the Island Lord’s Mansion.

They watched as the carriage gradually disappeared.

The gates closed again, and they began preparing to rest.

...

Bedroom.

Wu Heng lay on the bed for a while when Shanaela pushed the door open and came in.

Water droplets still clung to the tips of her hair, soaking into the silk nightgown and leaving dark traces. She lifted the blanket and lay down, her body carrying the floral scent of her bath.

Wu Heng wrapped his arm around her waist from behind, his palm resting on her flat abdomen.

Shanaela lightly patted the back of his hand, her voice filled with a teasing reproach, "Last night you were so worried you couldn’t sleep. No fooling around today!"

"You’ve worked hard." Wu Heng turned her over, his fingertips tracing her cheek, lowering his head to capture those soft lips.
