Chapter 222 A ghost saint-level existence!

The specific time hasn’t been set, and the reason is simple.

Miss Ying only returned to the Ying Family yesterday.

Miss Ying has been away from home for quite some time now.

It’s been several months.

When Si Yan entered the second instance to heal Miss Ying, she had already been away from home for over two months.

Now, Miss Ying has been away from home for almost half a year.

During these past six months, the Ying Family must have searched everywhere for Miss Ying.

Since Miss Ying hadn’t been found, it was naturally impossible to set a date for the wedding.

Now that she has been found, they will definitely discuss it with the Song Family before determining the wedding date.

Generally speaking, this process takes a long time.

Which noble young lady in ancient times didn’t take several months, or even half a year, to prepare for her wedding?

But Miss Ying heard from her father that it might be held in half a month to a month.

Even if it’s a little later, it shouldn’t be too late.

“As expected, it’s for a joint exploration of Shouyang Mountain after the marriage alliance,” Si Yan thought.

So urgent?

These two families must be planning to explore Shouyang Mountain together.

Only through a marriage alliance can they cooperate better.

Miss Ying is being completely used as a tool.

Although her strength is already considerable, and her potential is visibly high.

However…

In the face of the benefits from Shouyang Mountain, Miss Ying seems insignificant.

No matter how high her potential, Miss Ying has not yet reached the Ghost Lord level.

So, this time, Miss Ying was sacrificed by the Ying Family.

It’s not that the Ying Family doesn’t see her extraordinary talent.

It’s because there are greater benefits ahead!

“Tell me more details about the Song Family’s situation,” Si Yan said again.

Miss Ying began to speak.

The Song Family’s power is also extremely strong, controlling the Ying River.

A very wide river, with several extremely yin places underwater.

Within the Ying River, there are also some special medicinal herbs.

Relying on this Ying River, the Song Family is extremely wealthy and powerful.

The situation wasn’t complicated.

Miss Ying finished speaking quickly.

After listening, Si Yan checked the time; only a little over ten minutes remained until the hour was up.

“Sir, is there not enough time? Please summon Miss Ying again in three days!” Miss Ying understood that time was running out, and she spoke in a soft voice.

Si Yan shook his head: “Let’s deal with your matter first. For now, focus all your efforts on breaking through to Ghost Lord, but don’t rush it. Leave the rest to me. Don’t worry, I will absolutely not let you marry that scoundrel.”

Miss Ying nodded gently.

She left Si Yan, and her eyes had once again become bright.

They were filled with hope once more.

“Sir, Miss Ying still remembers the poems you once recited to her!”

Then, Miss Ying spoke.

Her crimson lips parted slightly.

Her gaze was filled with tenderness.

“In heaven, we wish to be birds flying wing to wing; on earth, we wish to be trees with branches intertwined. Though life and death may part us, I pledge my word to you. I will hold your hand and grow old with you.”

She recited her poem softly.

This wasn’t a single poem, but a combination of two poems Si Yan had recited to her before!

Miss Ying’s poem also represented her vow!

If it weren’t for the Ying Family’s stubborn insistence on the marriage, her feelings for Si Yan wouldn’t have intensified so dramatically.

Although she already held affection for Si Yan, as a young lady from a prestigious family, her feelings for Si Yan would have been more like a gentle stream.

Slowly, naturally coming to fruition.

But now, the Ying Family’s forced marriage completely ignited her emotions for Si Yan.

She made her vow with the poems Si Yan had once recited to her!

Through life and death!

“I will come to see you again in a few days. You should find a way to get Xiao Lian in. I will bring you some medicinal herbs. You must inform me immediately of any changes.” Si Yan told Miss Ying.

Miss Ying nodded gently.

Her heart was more resolute than ever before.

She wanted to stand with Si Yan and resist the stubborn Ying Family and Song Family!

Time was up.

Soon, Si Yan returned to his room.

“Ying River Song Family,” Si Yan murmured.

After thinking for a moment, Si Yan opened the Player Forum and started searching.

However, he couldn’t find any information about this Song Family there.

Si Yan changed his approach.

He searched for several place names related to the Song Family.

This time, he found something!

For example, a place called Yunxi Villa.

This is where Third Master Song would host the Yunxi Poetry Gathering every so often.

This Third Master Song, as a dashing zombie, actually possessed a tiny bit of literary talent.

Moreover, unlike other zombies, this fellow was like a dandy among zombies, retaining more human habits.

The name Yunxi Villa was told to Si Yan by Miss Ying.

This time, Si Yan found it on the Player Forum.

This Yunxi Villa was, surprisingly, also an instance.

In addition, several other places belonging to the Song Family were also instances.

For example, the Yunxi Lantern Festival.

Yunxi River is a tributary of the Ying River, which the Song Family controls.

It seemed that during some major festivals, the Song Family would send out invitations for players to enter.

According to the messages on the forum, the Song Family invited quite a few players each time.

After looking around, Si Yan closed the Player Forum.

Then, after sensing Liu Yiyi’s state through the contract, he arrived at Mingyue Mountain Manor.

“Sir~” Liu Yiyi was very happy to see Si Yan arrive.

Si Yan directly arrived in Liu Yiyi’s boudoir through the contract.

It was still night in the Zombie World.

Liu Yiyi was already resting.

There was no one else here, so Liu Yiyi couldn’t help but embrace Si Yan after seeing him.

“Yiyi, I need you to send out some people to gather some information,” Si Yan told Liu Yiyi.

“Please tell me, Sir,” Liu Yiyi said.

“Have you heard the news that the Ying Family and the Song Family are about to form a marriage alliance?” Si Yan asked.

Liu Yiyi replied, “Not yet, Sir. Is the Ying Family still going to marry off Miss Ying?”

News in the Zombie World doesn’t spread that quickly. It’s normal.

Miss Ying had only just been imprisoned, so how could the news have spread so quickly?

After Si Yan briefly explained, he assigned some tasks to Liu Yiyi.

He asked Liu Yiyi to send people to scout the possible routes the Song Family’s wedding procession might take, as well as some of the Song Family’s movements.

“The Song Family is in Ying River. After their wedding procession leaves the Ying Family, they will definitely go north first, then enter the Ying River. They will return to the Song Family by water, and the Song Family’s fleet is very large.” Liu Yiyi had some understanding.

She shared what she knew about the Song Family.

The Wang Family had done business with the Song Family before.

Liu Yiyi’s perspective was different from Miss Ying’s.

“Is Sir planning to rescue Miss Ying? Yiyi will help Sir with all her might!” Liu Yiyi said.

Si Yan kissed her forehead.

“Oh, Sir, the Song Family’s Yunxi Poetry Gathering is about to be held. This is hosted by Third Master Song. The Song Family might send out invitations, Sir can keep an eye out.” Liu Yiyi provided a piece of information!

Yunxi Poetry Gathering!

Si Yan had just seen some information about this instance on the forum!

It was perfect!

After chatting with Liu Yiyi for a while longer, Si Yan left Mingyue Mountain Manor.

After making arrangements with Liu Yiyi, Si Yan had a plan.

Although he had a map of Shouyang Mountain in his hand.

But offering the map to make the Ying Family change their minds was a last resort.

This method might not necessarily make the Ying Family change their minds.

The map was certainly crucial.

But with only a map, the Ying Family probably wouldn’t be able to conquer Shouyang Mountain.

Conquering it would result in too great a loss and would also attract the attention of other top-tier noble families.

This marriage alliance was actually a bond connecting the two families.

Within this, there might also be other plans from the ancestors of both families.

Therefore, Si Yan would not use this method unless absolutely necessary.

The remaining, simplest method, was to abduct the bride!

Although both families might have Undying Bones, which are Ghost Saint-level existences, the Song Family’s ancestor couldn’t possibly come to personally greet the bride, could they?

That was absolutely impossible.

But there should be a Ghost Lord secretly accompanying them.

After all, Miss Ying herself was already a high-level Ghost Emperor; if there were no Ghost Lord accompanying her, she could escape on her own without Si Yan needing to act.

Perhaps even more than one Ghost Lord.

Assuming the worst-case scenario, two Ghost Lords.

The Ying Family dispatches one Ghost Lord for escort, and the Song Family dispatches one Ghost Lord for reception.

The difficulty of abducting the bride was not small.

It was even more difficult than escaping from Mental Hospital No. 15 this time.

Although the difficulty of abducting the bride was not small, as long as there were no Ghost Saint-level Gui Creatures present, the room for maneuver was very large.

As long as the abduction was successful, things would be easier.

Even if Miss Ying couldn’t hide in the Zombie World, if push came to shove, Miss Ying could go to the Evil Spirit World, to Ellie and her group.

Or find a way to Dark University, that would also work.

Through non-summoning methods, after Miss Ying went there, she could stay there indefinitely.

After all, Miss Ying had previously gone to Blood Moon Hospital for treatment.

Si Yan planned to enter the Yunxi Poetry Gathering organized by Third Master Song this time.

With a plan in mind, Si Yan went to sleep. (End of Chapter)
