Chapter 23

Ghost Lantern stood at the door, his face covered in mud. Behind him were two of Night Fight's companions, who looked exactly like him, and Natsume, who was relatively neat. It was not difficult to see how the four of them came in.

When the four of them came in, the bedroom, which was not too big to begin with, became even smaller.

Night Fight took the opportunity to grope over and held Hiwa in his arms.

"Night Fight!" Hiwa struggled with a red face, but Night Fight held her even tighter.

"Don't move. Be good."

The atmosphere between the two sides was so tense. If a fight broke out later, Ri He wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.

When Hiwa stopped struggling, Night Fight thought that he was foolproof. So, he opened his mouth and began to talk.

"Ghost Lantern, when a child grows up, she will have to leave home. Even if she is a daughter, do you want her to live under your wings for the rest of her life?"

Then, he was hit by Ghost Lantern's mace at a tricky angle and had a concussion.

This problem seemed to be unsolvable.

Ghost Lantern was worried about his daughter living with a large group of adult men. The swordsman had waited for her for 30 years, so he would not let her go easily.

"Let's move, let's move."

Leaf's face was still held by the Komusubi. When she spoke, he reluctantly let go of her and let nature take its course (?)

He hugged her in his arms. Jin Jian and Tsuru Maru, who were sitting next to him, tugged at the corner of Leaf's clothes. A few swordsman also stood up and put their hands on the hilt of their swords, facing Ghost Lantern.

It was as if a fight would break out in the next second. After getting into position, Katana answered Leaf's question, "Move?"

"Yes. Night Fight told me that This Pill was originally in the forest, but it was later moved here. If it could be moved once, it should be able to be moved a second time, right?"

"There are many books in hell. Maybe there is a solution to my situation in there. After all, it is the place where the dead are in charge. I think that if there is no solution there, it might not be possible to find a solution elsewhere."

"Also, hell is short of manpower recently. You can help out wherever you go."

The last sentence was obviously said for Ghost Lantern. After that, she looked at Ghost Lantern with a guilty conscience. She was acting like a daughter who had caused trouble for her father.

She had not helped her father much, but she had not helped him much. She only caused him trouble.

"Dad …"

"Yes, I can agree to let them move to hell," Ghost Lamp suddenly said. "But I have a few conditions."

If it was any other day, Ghost Lantern would definitely welcome the ten or so Katana Fu into his team. However, the current situation was special. He really despised these Katanas.

"First, come to me, Leaf."

Leaf patted Komusubi's hand. Although he slowly increased his strength, he still refused to let go. In the end, Leaf gave one of his hands to Tsuru Maru and the other to Jin Jian. Then, she got up and walked to Ghost Lantern's side.

"Dad!?"

The one who screamed the loudest was Hasebe.

No, didn't Lord say that she was a goldfish grass spirit now?

Although she did not know what kind of goldfish grass was, since it was a plant … even if that man was also a goblin, Ghost Lantern and goldfish grass sounded like two completely different species, okay?

But if that man was really Lord's father, then weren't they very rude just now?

"Goldfish grass is a species that Dad researched. I was also personally raised by him. So, there is nothing wrong with calling him Dad. Without Dad, I wouldn't be who I am now."

Leaf held Ghost Lantern's hand and explained. Then, she raised her head and looked at Ghost Lantern's chin, waiting for his next condition.

Meanwhile, Hasebe's legs went weak. He felt that he might have fallen out of favor.

Delta Ophiuchi, who was standing beside him, helped him up and gave him an indifferent look.

'Don't worry.'

'I can't let go!'

As the two swords exchanged glances, Ghost Lantern stated his second condition.

"Second, Hell doesn't keep idle people. If you want to move there, you have to complete the corresponding work. It will be counted as living expenses."

"Yes, we agree. But we hope that you will allow us to borrow Hell's books when we are free."

Komusubi put forward his conditions in a timely manner.

"Okay. As for the third condition, I want you to be absolutely loyal to your master. You can never betray her."

"If you have disloyalty and betray your master, your body will be destroyed."

The rest of the Swordsmen followed Komusubi and swore.

A God's oath could never be violated. Otherwise, what awaited them was not only the punishment they had promised themselves, but also endless pain.

Ghost Lantern was relieved.

These Swordsmen were almost all tainted with the aura of darkness. Except for their master, they would be willing to use their swords on any other creature.

The atmosphere in the room eased a little.

Night Fight started to cause trouble again.

"I say, this matter can be considered to be over, right?

Can you give me the antidote now? "

Night Fight never doubted the authenticity of the poison that Ghost Lantern gave him a few days ago because his stomach would burn with pain at midnight every day.

He had also witnessed the entire process of Gui Deng's medicine decoction with his own eyes. The strange smell of the messy mixture of poisons seemed to linger in his nose even now.

If this ghost didn't work as a jailor, he could definitely feed himself by selling poison, right?

"Antidote?

Didn't I give it to you a few days ago? "

"When did you give it to me?"

Ye Dou had a bad premonition.

"You're not talking about … that, that pot …"

"Yes, that pot of Hell's Worm Soup. You ate the Hundred Grass Pill, so of course you need the Hundred Worm Soup to detoxify it."

"But I vomited it all up!

Ghost Lantern!

You can't go back on your word!

If I die, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost! "

"Gods don't become ghosts after they die."

"You scum of Hell!

I'll kill you!

Xue Qi! "

It was obvious that the Ghost Lantern wanted to suppress the sharpness of the swords. It was also because of the anger in his heart that he accepted Night Fight's challenge and fought with him.

The swords were silent for a while, then they hurried to their lord's side, seizing every minute and second to fight for attention. This made Leaf feel that they weren't a group of swords, but a group of Xiao Bai.

Ghost Lantern quickly defeated Night Fight at the cost of destroying half of This Pill. In any case, he was the invisible number one boss of Hell who suppressed the Ten Thousand Ghost Level Yama every day. Night Fight, a small god who was still poisoned, was no match for him. In the end, he and his Zhu Qi were smashed to the ground by the mace.

In the end, Ghost Lantern agreed to cook another pot of Hundred Hellish Bug Soup for Ye Dou. However, Ghost Lantern's request was for Ye Dou to look for the bugs himself. Ghost Lantern also wanted Ye Dou to find some other herbs.

"Hey!

I say, it was clearly you who indiscriminately fed me the medicine from the beginning. Now it's proven that I helped you. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you're actually threatening me??? "

"Oh?

You don't agree? "

"… No, no, no, I agree, I agree."

"If it weren't for you, I would still be living happily in Hell with my daughter. Why would there be so much trouble?

Why do I have to arrange work for a group of swords? "

"You're twisting words and forcing logic!"

"Tsk, I just don't like you. Do you have a problem with that?"

"… No, no, no, no."

Naruto and Yuko looked at each other. It was the first time they saw Night Fight so cowardly. This was a lord who even dared to fight against the eight million gods of Takamagahara. Was this Ghost Lantern -sama really that terrifying?

"He's someone who even the masters of Hell in the West are afraid of. Even Bai Ze of Taoyuan can't beat him. I'm just a small Japanese god."

Ye Dou explained in a dry voice.

He had been in Hell for so many days. He had already inquired about the Ghost Lantern's background. He didn't need to deliberately inquire about it. Any prison guard in Hell could tell you about the Ghost Lantern's deeds.

This guy was definitely not as simple as an assistant!

However, Leaf tried several times according to the method explained by the swords and swords, but she couldn't put away the This Pill. In the end, she had to attribute the reason to her current identity being incomplete.

In this case, it seemed that This Pill couldn't be taken away.

"But Fox's Assistance hasn't come back yet. That guy is still outside looking for tasks. If we leave like this, he will definitely be worried to death if he can't find us when he comes back."

After such a long time, the swords and swords have long regarded Fox's Assistance as a partner.

If Fox's Assistance hadn't found a way to let them do tasks in exchange for spiritual power through gray channels, Leaf might have seen more than ten pieces of scrap metal today.

"Ghost Lantern, did you just … get This Pill from underground?"

Jiazhou Qingguang looked at Ghost Lantern for a while and suddenly asked.

"Yes."

Back then, he was a ghost who could dig a hole from Hell to Taoyuan without sleep. Digging a hole was nothing to him.

However, it was reasonable to say that the enchantment outside This Pill should be able to cover the ground as well. Now, he easily dug a hole through it. It seemed that This Pill was really going to die.

"Then, can we dig a hole from here to Hell?"

"Yes, but if an evil spirit goes to the human world through this hole, you will take full responsibility."

"We will send someone to guard it."

He also thought of the problem with This Pill's enchantment. It couldn't go on like this. Since Ghost Lantern could dig a hole, if someone else followed suit in the future, This Pill was so big, and they didn't have many swords to use for This Pill. They definitely wouldn't be able to find that person immediately.

In this way, the lord's body would be in danger.

"If it's possible, can you temporarily place the lord's body in Hell?

This Pill might not be as safe as we thought. "

Ghost Lantern didn't say anything. He stared at the girl on the tatami for a while, then lowered his head to look at the little goldfish beside him. To be honest, he couldn't treat the two of them as the same person.

Although the girl was beautiful, without the support of the goldfish fairy, he couldn't treat her the way he treated the little goldfish.

When Leaf returned to that body, he didn't know if he could still maintain this father-daughter relationship.

But that was her wish, and Ghost Lantern knew that he couldn't stop it.

"Yes."
