Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 757: Chapter 755: Gu Xi’s Identity

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s words, the Li Family’s Daughter smiled at him.

”You can see it, and since you can see it, you should know that beings like us live day by day. It’s either taking a breath here or saving a bit there.

No matter how hard we try, we’re just hanging on to life.

This time I’m getting married not because I fancy someone.

But because the person I’m marrying has something life-saving.

The Grass Returning Pill.

It can completely transform Yin Qi into Yang Qi, reforging the foundation for beings like us.

Most importantly, after reforging the foundation, we remain Ghost Immortals, and the edge over Corpse Dissolving Immortals is that we are born as ghosts, and Ghost Immortals have the chance to undergo Thunder Tribulation.”

Although the words of the Li Family’s Daughter were somewhat disjointed,

after experiencing the earlier events and knowing her identity, Gu Xi naturally understood the situation at hand.

The situation of Living Ghosts is like this, transformation from yin to yang, yet still with the identity of a ghost. At times, this gives them an advantage over humans or ghostly beings, but at other times, the identity of a Living Ghost is a burden.

The method of this world before us is to follow the path of transformation from yin to yang.

Turning all the Yin Qi of a ghost into Yang Qi.

The mentioned Corpse Dissolving Immortal and Ghost Immortal are likely professional paths in this world.

Gu Xi doesn’t know much about this aspect, but the general idea shouldn’t be too different.

The Grass Returning Pill mentioned by the Li Family’s Daughter is likely a crucial elixir in this world, very useful for Living Ghosts.

It not only allows Living Ghosts to become Pure Yang without affecting their foundation, unlike those Living Ghosts who previously purified their Yang Qi by transforming their Yin Qi.

This is fantastic news for Living Ghosts.

As long as they are Living Ghosts, they wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Upon hearing this news, not to mention marrying themselves off, even becoming a concubine or something, Living Ghosts would be willing.

However, Gu Xi quickly realized that inviting himself onto the bridal sedan was not just to tell him about this matter.

She must have seen some ability in him; that’s why she invited him onto the sedan.

Gu Xi, pondering for a moment, immediately understood the Li Family’s Daughter’s plan.

At this point, Gu Xi said seriously, ”Has this news been out for a long time?”

The Li Family’s Daughter nodded, ”Yes, the news I received was quite late. Along this journey, I fear other Living Ghosts might try to stop me, so I wish to ask you to protect me.”

”Me? I don’t have the strength, not to mention those Living Ghosts, even some of the porters outside I can’t beat.”

Gu Xi shook his head and resolutely refused.

He really didn’t want to be involved in such matters.

Judging from how the Li Family’s Daughter acted before, the other Living Ghosts are not weak at all.

They don’t need to specifically target Gu Xi; even if the aftereffects hit him, he might be gone.

”Rest assured, you’ll be well-rewarded if things succeed.”

Gu Xi shook his head, ”This isn’t about rewards; this matter is too difficult for me.”

”Difficult? I don’t think so.”

The Li Family’s Daughter turned her body and leaned against Gu Xi, ”With the identity of a great power of the Underworld reincarnated to cultivate again, what is there to fear?”

A great power of the Underworld reincarnated?

Me?

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, where did the Li Family’s Daughter see this?

Seeing Gu Xi looking puzzled, the Li Family’s Daughter laughed.

”How come, Young Lord still thought you hid very well.

Actually, the moment you appeared, we saw it.

We felt something the moment you appeared.

We all think you’re a good person, unwilling to be your enemy, and even have a kind of wish to leave with you.

Such things are not possible for ordinary people; at least, we’ve never experienced such a situation before.

This alone proves your origin is extraordinary.

Most importantly, among the Guardians you previously released, that one holding a Peach Wood Sword has the ability to open the gates of the Underworld, right?

This ability is not something ordinary people possess.

Young Lord, please help me; I don’t need you to do anything.

Just persuade any Ghost Souls coming to block the road to let us through.”

The Li Family’s Daughter’s body directly leaned against Gu Xi, and Gu Xi slowly felt the warmth coming from her.

At this moment, Gu Xi was very calm, not disturbed by the Li Family’s Daughter at all.

Although the Li Family’s Daughter hadn’t finished speaking, Gu Xi could tell that she hadn’t deceived him in some aspects.

She really treated him as a boss from the Underworld.

So the Li Family’s Daughter could only use some small tactics to invite him to act, definitely not daring to harm him.

Because she wasn’t sure if, upon his death, he would immediately return to the Underworld and restore his ’original’ combat power.

At that time, with her strength, she couldn’t escape the Underworld’s pursuit.

So this can be done.

But an idea flashed through Gu Xi’s mind.

He can’t do this for free.

Seeing Gu Xi thinking, the Li Family’s Daughter’s eyes brightened.

She understood that Gu Xi was interested, just unsure about what he hesitated over.

However, if the Li Family’s Daughter didn’t know how to follow up at this time, she would have wasted her years of life.

The Li Family’s Daughter leaned her body against Gu Xi, ”Young Lord, please help me. At worst, for this whole journey, I will accompany you.”

Gu Xi rolled his eyes, do I need your company?

That eyeroll from Gu Xi revealed a lot, making the Li Family’s Daughter immediately realize why Gu Xi wouldn’t agree.

She had been pleading with Gu Xi, but she had nothing to offer as a reward for his help.

Gu Xi wasn’t related to her in any way, so why would he do such a thankless job?

The lengthy talk before was useless; if she wants Gu Xi to protect her, she must present some genuine benefits.

Like saying she’d accompany him along the way was a joke.

Gu Xi, a ’great power of the Underworld’ who doesn’t know how many years he has lived, has seen everything.

Perhaps even the ghosts of the palace concubines end up in Gu Xi’s hands.

She, being just a fully jadeified Living Ghost without other skills, how could she attract Gu Xi?

So to get Gu Xi’s help, she has to think from other angles.

The Li Family’s Daughter is a smart ghost.

She quickly spotted Gu Xi’s unique identity, clearly having insight and the ability to think.

She put herself in Gu Xi’s shoes and immediately understood what Gu Xi might be lacking.

So the Li Family’s Daughter immediately leaned close to Gu Xi’s ear and said,

”Young Lord, if you help me, I have a good thing for you!”
