Emperor’s Domination Chapter 4359: A’jiao

Chapter 4359: Ajiao

The dead still have thoughts. Li Qiye stared at the horizon and said.

The group shuddered after hearing this because this was a rather strange idea.

They still have thoughts? One of them murmured and immediately looked around. He felt chilly gusts and became afraid, thinking that ominous spirits were looking at him.

In their mind, the dead seized to have a soul and mind. Some no longer had a body as well. Thus, Li Qiyes comment went against conventional wisdom.

Of course, there were special entities in the cultivation world. For example, stubborn intents and obsessions that wouldnt disperse. Some strange events could happen after the death of a powerful cultivator as well.

However, strictly speaking, ghosts didnt exist similarly to immortals in their world. So was that old beggar a ghost then?

Ghosts cant appear in broad daylight. One youth blurted out without being too sure.

Right, theyll disperse once exposed to sunlight. His friend quietly said.

Maybe he was something ominous. An older disciple speculated.

A few of them heard this and thought that they may have caught misfortune, especially the one who gave him coins earlier. He wiped his clothes and said: Please, no misfortune, I didnt do anything, dont latch onto me.

Its a great fortune to be sought after by a ghost. Li Qiye chuckled.

Why is that? Arent ghosts ominous creatures? If one latches onto him, hell be unlucky forever. Another answered.

Its not that easy becoming a ghost. Li Qiye replied: Being one meant the person had obtained a heaven-defying fortune. Such a being wouldnt care about you all since youre nothing more than insects in their eyes.

The youths exchanged glances and agreed. Ghosts wouldnt bother coming to look for them. After all, they had nothing noteworthy no power, no resource, no talent...

Thats good. One guy heaved a sigh of relief and said: I guess its not all bad being nobodies.

Sect Master, why is he looking for you? One youth became curious. It became apparent that the old beggar wasnt here to beg and only came for Li Qiye.

Li Qiye smiled and moved forward without responding. The group followed him but they didnt get far again.

Another uninvited passerby came along a woman shaking her hips more than necessary as she walked towards them.

If she was a supreme beauty, then such a walking style would be quite a sight for sore eyes. Unfortunately, she was overweight.

Strangely enough, her fat wasnt shaking either. She seemed to be very well-built and had a tanned complexion. One would assume that she worked all year long at a farm.

In reality, she was only eighteen or nineteen but her appearance betrayed her age. Her hair was long and black. Alas, they were tied into pigtails in a non-flattering fashion. Worst of all, she was covered in a thick layer of makeup carrying a heavy scent.

It wasnt a crime to be average-looking if she didnt adorn any makeup and had a simpler style. Alas, she also wore a conspicuous flower dress. This combination was absolutely a visual attack.

She appeared to be a village girl who yearns for city life, hence her style.

Oh, Husband, Ive finally found you... She put on a feminine yet nauseating pose as she rushed over to Li Qiye. [1]

Her unreasonable confidence and coquettishness shook the young ones but most importantly, she addressed Li Qiye as husband.

They calmed down and their gaze switched back and forth between Li Qiye and her.

Dont make me obliterate your soul. No one will be able to save you. Li Qiye threatened.

This was not an empty threat when it came from Li Qiye since he had the ability to do so.

Cant I make a joke? The girl acted shy while stealing glances at Li Qiye: My father agreed to our matter.

She was none other than Ajiao who had also shown up at Sword Continent. The timing was identical as well; the beggar came first then her.

The disciples found this rather strange yet amusing. Some thought that their sect master might really have something to do with this girl.

Thus, they were tactful enough to slow down their pace, giving Li Qiye and Ajiao some space.

Does the sect master really have a fiancee? One of them whispered.

A different disciple disagreed right away: It doesnt look that way to me. Plus, who is actually worthy of marrying our sect master?

Watch your words. Elder Hu scolded, not wanting them to speculate.

Nonetheless, he found this strange as well. First, it was a beggar; now an overweight girl. This felt rather strange.

Li Qiye ignored the gossip behind him and only focused on Ajiao. He smiled and said: I see, whatll be the dowry?

Im sure the dowry will be generous, just say the words. Ajiao said bashfully, causing the disciples to have goosebumps.

I want his dog life then. Li Qiye smirked.

Listeners became slack-jawed. Their sect master wanted to kill his father-in-law?

Why so cruel, our father bears no malice towards you. Ajiao pouted, seemingly ignorant of the effect she has on others.

Alright, why are you here? He asked.

What else but to strengthen our romance since were about to be husband and wife? She looked down at the ground and only stole glances at him.

1. Exact translation is husband but used more like honey
