Chapter 117 The Cultivation Venture Capital King
Once his thoughts were voiced, everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
Even the male ghost looked around, his face pale.
"Boss, did you hear me...?"
"talk?"
He originally wanted to ask the other person if they had heard the strange sound, but in the end it turned into asking if they had listened to him.
Others had similar experiences; the words they were about to say were either censored or forcibly transformed into other words.
Everyone looked terrified.
Even the male ghost was terrified.
He thought other ghosts were trying to take him away and almost burst into tears.
Ghosts scare ghosts, they scare ghosts to death!
Lan Yue doesn't have the ability to hear ghosts' thoughts; she's still continuing.
[Lan Yue: This juicy gossip fell from the sky; I can't help it even if I don't want to eat it. Let me see what this male ghost's experiences have been like.]
[Click to see the venture capital king of the cultivation world!]
[What the hell? The King of Venture Capital in the Cultivation World? What is that? The king of venture capital?]
Everyone around was completely bewildered, and even Yunxi and the others, who were very familiar with Lanyue, couldn't understand it.
They looked at each other and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
[Lan Yue: Venture capital is generally risk investment. What can a male ghost do?]
So that's how it is. The male ghost's name was Jiang Xia. He was a little ghost hundreds of years ago. It's said that before he died, his mother kept talking about her son getting married.
[Jiang Xia remembered this incident. After painstakingly accumulating a fortune over a century, he waited until a passing female scholar fell into the water and brought her to his home.]
[However, the female scholar was determined to pass the imperial examinations and insisted on taking them first. The male ghost felt he shouldn't hinder her future, so he gave her his life savings accumulated over a century as travel expenses.]
[No wonder the title is "Venture Capital King." The scholar he chose, who had fallen into the water, went to the capital and immediately became the top female scholar in the imperial examination, reportedly causing a sensation throughout the capital and attracting countless suitors.]
[I didn't expect this dynasty to be so open-minded. It's said that not only did women come to propose marriage, but some men also sought to marry them. The cultivation world is truly different; even female top scholars can marry men.]
Lan Yue watched with great interest the female champion parading through the streets on horseback.
However, the male ghost opposite him was struck dumb; his hands trembled for a long time, and he almost fainted.
[No wonder the title mentioned "spotlight"—that's some impressive investment acumen! Not only did she become the top female scholar, but she also became the most powerful female prime minister of the Fufeng Dynasty, wielding immense influence.]
The male ghost opposite him tried his best to comfort himself, saying that it was normal for Ali, who had such a promising future, not to want to be with him.
The other party has become a female prime minister; what an amazing person she must be!
He kept repeating it in his mind, and as people kept repeating it, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Is Ali really her name? Did it signify separation from the very beginning?
The male ghost was struck by an arrow once again.
[Lan Yue: Oh, this isn't over yet. It turns out Jiang Xia has a second investment, and this time the investor is even more formidable—a wandering swordsman!]
[During a chase with a villain, she was unfortunately ambushed and taken in by a male ghost, who cared for her for over half a month.]
[This time, the male ghost felt it was all settled; he should finally be able to get married. However, the other woman still had a deep-seated hatred and was determined to leave, even resorting to a desperate hunger strike.]
[The male ghost once again offers up his wealth to help the other party take revenge and end this feud quickly.]
[The opponent was indeed very ambitious, enduring hardship for over ten years, studying under the tutelage of the world's number one swordsman, becoming a grandmaster of all young martial arts, slaying his enemy with a single sword strike, and becoming the new leader of the martial arts alliance.]
[This time it caused an even bigger sensation, with young martial arts practitioners from all over the world flocking to the event, some even disregarding social status to stay by the other's side.]
Lan Yue watched the various men in the video who exuded a "tea-like" air, her smile never stopping from beginning to end.
[Tsk tsk, only the system and Yin Xue know I'm watching this drama. Anyone else would think I'm watching a male-centric palace intrigue drama.]
[As one can imagine, the male ghost lost the wife he had longed for for so long, and he was once again penniless.]
"The youngest martial arts master, the leader of the martial arts alliance?" the male ghost murmured to himself.
"Is Ah Jian that powerful? No wonder she didn't come back even after avenging her blood feud. Actually, her heart was never here to begin with." Jiang Xia's expression was bitter.
"Ah Jian, Ah Jian, it seems that her heart truly belongs only to the sword!"
"Xiaxia, are you alright?" The larger child asked with a worried expression.
"It's alright, your mother is still waiting for me, how could I let something happen to her beforehand?" He was pale.
However, the group of children opposite them looked at each other strangely, all wondering, "Why do they all have the same mother?"
So how many mothers do they actually have?
So, the first two weren't the real ones after all?
[Lan Yue: As expected, the male ghost's story isn't over yet. He invested in a powerful female prime minister, the youngest martial arts alliance leader, and now he's investing again.]
[This time, let me see... the investors are cultivators! It turns out it's a female fairy from the Northern Region who came here for training. She happened to encounter the opening of the Demon Abyss Rift and was seriously injured by a demon that suddenly appeared inside.]
[Then, passing by this body of water, she was rescued by the male ghost. The male ghost used his power to cleanse her of demonic energy; however, while the demonic energy was easy to remove, the emotional distress was difficult to overcome.]
[When the Demon Abyss Rift opened, the female fairy master remained where she was, shielding her from all danger, and perished in the process.]
[Alas, this is yet another inexplicable debt! The female fairy insisted on leaving, so the male ghost offered her a century's worth of ghostly energy to protect her, causing his cultivation to plummet.]
[This time, his investment was successful again. The other party had cultivated diligently for over a hundred years and recently succeeded in slaying the demon that had harmed her master. She now controls the entire Luoyan Sect and has just become the sect leader of a top sect in the Northern Region.]
In the scene, the sect leader is dressed in a cool blue dress, standing atop a mountain peak, looking ahead with icy eyes.
There was relief and a sense of liberation in her eyes.
This time, all the children breathed a sigh of relief. They all thought that the mission was completed, the great revenge was achieved, and their mother should finally be coming over, right?
If the woman comes and successfully gets together with the male ghost, will they have to release them?
Those children who had only been arrested not long ago harbored a secret hope.
Even the male ghost was overjoyed.
He said that Wuqing would definitely come back.
The reason they disappeared for over two hundred years must be because they were cultivating diligently in their sect and had no time to come over.
Now that they've gotten their revenge, they'll definitely come back!
The male ghost firmly believed it.
[Lan Yue: But this time, although there's no ending, the result isn't hard to guess. That sect leader definitely won't come back, and even if he does, he won't continue his past relationship with the male ghost.]
The male ghost opposite him was struck by lightning once again.
He thought about it carefully and realized that the other party had become the sect leader of a top sect in the Northern Region.
A fairy with this identity would definitely not be interested in him, so he looked dejected again.
[Lan Yue: It's not fair to say the other party was heartless; it's just a series of coincidences. Two hundred years ago, when this female fairy swore to kill all demons, she had already switched to the path of ruthlessness.]
[It's impossible to imagine a female fairy who cultivates the path of ruthlessness returning to accept a male ghost as her Daoist partner!]
[So the male ghost's dream was shattered once again, but his investment was a huge success!]
The sect leader of a top sect in the Northern Region—that's someone who truly stands at the very top!
[Actually, I'm quite curious about his eye for talent. How come he always finds the right person? It's either a female prime minister, a female alliance leader, or a sect leader in the cultivation world.]
[If the cultivation-themed venture capital world doesn't award him one, I'll be the first to disagree!]
Across from her, the group of children all looked dazed.
The ghost in question had a dazed expression and a face as pale as paper.
"Ruthless, ruthless, it turns out it wasn't ruthlessness towards those demons!"
"It is the ruthlessness of cultivating the ruthless path!"
If the male ghost weren't devoid of a physical form, he would definitely be spitting out a mouthful of blood right now.
"So there's no one willing to come back? I've waited for hundreds of years, all for nothing?" he thought to himself, devastated.
At that moment, the familiar voice rang out again, this time tinged with surprise.
[Lan Yue: We forgot one! This seems to have happened within the last hundred years. Are they really planning to come back?]
