Chapter 852 Wasted Efforts
Xiao Han stayed in the house in fear for a long time, but King Chujiang did not come in again.
If King Chujiang noticed anything unusual about her, he would have immediately crushed her to death. The fact that she didn't make any movement could only mean that he hadn't noticed anything unusual about her.
After realizing this, Xiao Han felt relieved.
But King Chujiang wanted to deal with the Ghost King on his own, so his plan of being eliminated would not work.
So, she had to find a way to escape.
With the thought of escaping in his mind, Xiao Han could no longer sit still. He immediately opened the door quietly and looked out furtively.
The yard was empty, and there was no movement in the houses of the other three female ghosts. No one knew what these female ghosts were doing in the houses.
Looking at the courtyard wall that was only about one person high, Xiao Han immediately took flight, wanting to fly directly out of the big ghost's mansion.
But just as she flew to a height of more than ten feet, she was suddenly hit on the head by a huge force.
Xiao Han fell down suddenly and almost fell on his back.
Before she could get up, a ghost wearing armor and with a ferocious and ugly face appeared above the courtyard.
He looked down at Xiao Han fiercely and shouted, "You wanted to fly away just now?"
Xiao Han waved his hands hurriedly, "You misunderstood. I was just practicing dancing here, and I accidentally jumped a little too high."
Afraid that the other party would not believe her, she hurriedly said, "I was brought back by Prince Chujiang and was going to present it to Lord Ghost King. Lord Ghost King would definitely like to see me dance, so I wanted to practice more."
After saying that, he waved his long sleeves, swung his arms wildly, and twisted his waist.
The guarding ghost in the air glanced at her and suddenly said, "You need to practice more. I've seen other female ghosts dance much better than you."
Xiao Han: ...
The guarding ghost left, and Xiao Han stopped twisting her body. She put her hands on her hips and cursed inwardly: "A ghost from the Nine Nether Hell dares to say that my dance is not pretty. Pah! Being able to appreciate my dance is a blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes."
Alas! With such tight security, it would be quite difficult to escape.
However, Xiao Han, who would not turn back until he hit the wall, still opened the gate.
Going towards the main gate is definitely not an option, as I don’t know if this mansion has a back door.
Xiao Han walked in the opposite direction of the gate.
There are no flowers, plants, trees or anything like that in a place like this, only dark houses.
Xiao Han walked towards the backyard cautiously.
It was completely silent, not a single ghost in sight. For a moment, I couldn't find the back door.
The spiritual consciousness is here, but it is not as useful as the eyes.
Xiao Han thought about it and decided to fly slowly to a high altitude to take a look at the layout of the entire mansion before touching the special protective shield, and to find the direction of the back door.
However, just as her feet were about a foot off the ground, a voice behind her said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Xiao Han was startled and turned around to see an old ghost who looked like a normal person staring at her.
She hurriedly explained, "I was brought back by King Chujiang to participate in the election for queen. I was just hungry and wanted to find something to eat, so I ended up here."
The old ghost said, "I am the steward here. Since you are the candidate for queen, I cannot let you starve. Come with me."
Xiao Han wanted to slap herself at this moment. The excuse she had thought of before was to go out for a walk, so how could she say that she was out looking for food? What if the other party took some rotten arms and legs, or toads and maggots, how would she eat them?
"Um, uh, butler, I suddenly feel that it's better not to trouble you. I'm going back now and won't eat."
The old ghost steward said enthusiastically: "You may become the queen in the future. How can I let you go hungry? Come with me quickly, we will be there soon."
After saying that, he tried to pull her arm.
Xiao Han didn't dare to let him pull him, so he quickly stepped back calmly, saying, "Thank you very much, Chief Steward."
The old ghost butler brought her to a house, opened the door, and lifted the cover on the table, revealing a bowl of red and white stuff.
"This is a reward from my master. I'll give you half. If you are chosen in the future, remember my kindness to you."
Xiao Han took a closer look at the contents of the bowl, and when she saw a piece of toe, she didn't want to look at it again.
But the old ghost butler poured out a small half, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with big mouthfuls, then handed the rest to her.
Xiao Han suppressed his nausea, took the bowl, and once again wanted to slap himself.
What a sin she has committed!
Xiao Han felt that he would rather die than eat the food in the bowl.
"Thank you, but I've been out for a long time. It would be bad if Prince Chujiang comes looking for me and I can't find him. I'll take this food back and eat it slowly."
The old ghost butler swallowed his mouthful of food and then said, "Okay, then you can take it back and eat it."
Xiao Han felt as if he had been pardoned, and turned around and ran away with the bowl in his hand.
After turning around a courtyard, a little kid who looked about ten years old came towards me.
When he saw what was in Xiao Han's bowl, he couldn't take his eyes off it and his mouth was watering.
Xiao Han's heart moved, and he asked kindly, "Do you want to eat?"
The kid nodded vigorously.
Xiao Han looked around and pointed to a shadow at the corner of the courtyard and said, "Come here first."
After the little ghost came over, Xiao Han said, "I want to go for a walk on the street secretly, but I can't go through the front door. Do you know where the back door is? If you can take me to the back door, I will give you all the food."
The little ghost nodded immediately and said, "Then follow me."
Xiao Han was overjoyed. This was really something that was obtained without any effort.
Led by the little ghost, she walked through many twists and turns and arrived at a big door that was half the size of the front door.
Seeing that freedom was just around the corner, Xiao Han stuffed the bowl into the kid's hand and immediately ran towards the back door.
When she opened the door, she was met with two pairs of gazes.
They were two guards in armor.
Oh my god, there are no guards at the front gate, so why are there guards at the back door?
A guard shouted, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Han smiled and said, "Go out and get something."
Guard: "You cannot leave without the steward's order."
Xiao Han only regretted that he didn't have any items that the evil spirits liked, so he couldn't bribe them.
She could only plead, "Brother Guard, I'm so hungry. I want to go find something to eat on the street. I'll be back soon. Please be flexible."
The two guards looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. One of them said, "Then go quickly and come back quickly. Don't run around."
Xiao Han was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, thank you very much, brothers."
But just as she took one step forward, she heard a cold voice behind her, "Where are you going?"
