Waiting for Someone

"What?" Bone Duke Pingnan was a bit dumbfounded by Jiang Cheng's question.

He thought he might have misheard.

He was called over just to answer this?

He had been quite nervous beforehand, thinking Jiang Cheng would ask about something important.

He expected questions about his plans for Blood Fiend and the others, how he would manage them, and how he would assist his lord in the future.

Before coming, he had even organized his thoughts, planning to showcase the little military strategy he had learned at school, hoping to make a good impression on Jiang Cheng.

But he never expected his lord would be a pervert?

His real purpose was actually this?

To ask such a question...

"What? Do you four just stare at each other with your skeleton eye sockets every night?" Jiang Cheng's soul flame condensed.

He didn't constantly think about these matters, but he felt his path to becoming human might be difficult, perhaps taking a long time before he could truly transform into a human.

During this period, it would be quite torturous for Mengmeng in her prime years.

If he could solve the problem before becoming human, that would be ideal.

"No, no, my lord misunderstands. I just... I'm a bit..." Bone Duke Pingnan quickly explained, "Since my lord wishes to know, I will naturally speak without reservation and hide nothing, revealing all details one by one, absolutely without concealment!"

Bone Duke Pingnan's words were forceful and his tone very firm.

But to Jiang Cheng's ears, they took on a different flavor.

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Jiang Cheng's soul flame turned cold.

"I don't want to know the details of you and your wife in bed. I only need to know how you produce offspring."

"This, this, this..." Bone Duke Pingnan was confused.

Wasn't this contradictory?

Jiang Cheng wanted to know how he made skeletons but said he didn't need to know the details. How could he explain such things without details?

Could this sort of thing be done quickly?

Unless?

His lord... was he?

"Speak." Jiang Cheng said coldly.

"Yes." Hearing this, Bone Duke Pingnan knew Jiang Cheng was angry and didn't dare think too much. He directly replied, "My lord, do you want to know about me and my two Bone Ladies, or my third wife Ningzhi?"

"Ningzhi."

"Ningzhi, I see." Bone Duke Pingnan nodded, but the soul flame in his eye sockets looked oddly at Jiang Cheng's back.

It seemed his lord also had designs on human beauties.

Could he be the unfaithful type?

"My lord, Ningzhi is currently my third wife, but I haven't had the chance to consummate with her before I was... by you..."

Whoosh!

The scenery before him rapidly inverted.

Splash.

A huge ice flower erupted on the cold river.

"Tell me when you've thought it through." Jiang Cheng folded his wings and strode away.

Leaving Bone Duke Pingnan splashing in the freezing river water.

"It's true, it's true, my lord! I'm not lying, I really don't know how to break through a human's body!" Bone Duke Pingnan, thoroughly chilled, crawled like a toad through the cold river to the shore.

"Damn it, I really don't know. Why didn't you ask about details with my Bone Ladies?" Once Jiang Cheng was far away, Bone Duke Pingnan grumbled.

"At least ask something I know about!"

"Pssst..."

A three-headed skeleton wolf suddenly appeared beside him, wagging its tail bone, and fawningly asked, "Hey, Little Nanzi, if the lord doesn't want to know, can you share some details with me?"

"You?" Bone Duke Pingnan was shocked. "What would an underage dog like you want to know this for?"

Er Chu: "What the hell?"

"Who says I'm underage? Which skeleton eye of yours sees me as underage?" After speaking, Er Chu's entire body rapidly expanded, transforming into a terrifying form three hundred meters tall.

Three pairs of empty eye sockets with crimson soul flames stared fixedly at Bone Duke Pingnan.

As if he would be devoured to bits if he didn't speak.

"Dog Big Brother, let's talk this through. Why resort to violence?" Bone Duke Pingnan beckoned to Er Chu. "Come down first. You're so big now, how can you hear me clearly?"

"Hmm? That's more like it." Seeing him yield, Er Chu was immediately satisfied.

His body gradually shrank back to human height.

But his three pairs of soul flames still locked onto Bone Duke Pingnan, not letting him off even though he had agreed.

"Dog Big Brother, may I ask, why this question?"

"Speak normally. Don't be so damned formal. Were you a poet in your past life?"

"Yes, yes, Dog Big Brother is right to correct me." Though his words were flattering, Bone Duke Pingnan's heart was incredibly bitter.

"You know, now that we've been resurrected by the lord, we can only exist as skeletons. Since that's the case, shouldn't we prepare for our future?" Er Chu began.

"If female wolves join our ranks later, and we get along well, when things progress to that stage, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I know nothing?"

Bone Duke Pingnan: "..."

Even a dog can think this far ahead?

Truly, everyone under Jiang Beiming is talented!

"Dog Big Brother is indeed strategic, planning ahead. Since that's the case, how could I withhold information?" After saying this, Bone Duke Pingnan detailed his experiences with his two Bone Ladies to Er Chu.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng had reached the peak of Changsheng Mountain.

Changsheng Mountain was a level 150 wild zone. Normally, no players would venture here.

But for Jiang Cheng, level 150 wild monsters weren't much different from level 15 ones.

However, he wasn't here to kill monsters and level up.

Rather, he was waiting for someone, waiting for a person who would take him to a place where Hell exists on Earth, a hidden force.
