ine to bring a pet, right" I pressed my palm against Xiao Nie's head, covering the two tufts of black hair on its ears.Chang Jing twitched the corner of her mouth, nodding awkwardly. "Alright, I can p...This place is like a brick path leading to the ghost market in the human world, and in this space between walls, there is chaos. If you're not careful, you might fall into who knows where.

In such a place, facing a demon lord alone, my resistance is meaningless. I can only do my best to protect myself and see if I can drag it out until Jiang Qiyun comes to save me.

The scene of being brought here happened too quickly, my mind hasn't quite caught up yet.

Just now, I saw Bai Wu Chang being bitten on one arm by the beast that ripped through space. It was dragging him along, and his sleeve's chains flew across wildly, smashing into the Ghost Emperor's sword protecting me.

I wonder how Bai Wuchang is doing... I also wonder if Jiang Qiyun is so worried right now that he's making some shocking move... No, it should be a shocking and awe-inspiring move.

A mind-blowing feat... I still have the leisure to craft this sentence.

“How can you believe that I’m just an ordinary person who is still cultivating” I lowered my voice and hugged my arms, squatting on this illusory stone slab.

The black figure before them loomed over them, its voice cold and distant: “Emperor of the Underworld, why are you able to cross realms repeatedly without causing any disturbance in the aura”

"...He is a deity of the underworld, yin and yang are one body with two sides, what's wrong with crossing realms" I whispered.

"Humph...how ridiculous..." the other party let out a cold snort, then fell silent.

It seems like a contest of patience, as this esteemed individual remains unhurried and speaks with precision.

Indeed, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of deities in the underworld. Besides the ghost officers who are responsible for confining souls, not everyone can casually wander into the human world.

This honorable one wasn't like Chong Mo, who impatiently tried to find connections. Instead, they stood before me with a detached air, looking down at me with a cold and aloof demeanor.

At this rate, when will there be a turning point...

“I really don’t know about what you said about interdimensional travel, and I can’t help much… Jiang Qiyun, and me… and the Emperor, we got together a few years ago because someone in the human world wanted to connect with the Ghost Cave. He was looking for yin-yang spiritual embryos to inherit his innate magical power, so… so he entered into a marriage contract with a ghost…”

I honestly told him about everything that happened.

When Jiang Qiyun first appeared before me, his image was somewhat blurry, like looking through frosted glass. Later, as the dragon on the ring gradually became clearer, he formed a spiritual body and could then appear with ease.

"Ghost marriage... and a spirit child..." The esteemed one said coldly, "So to speak… this is the key…"

I shook my head hastily. "I don't know, this might just be a special case, not—"

He suddenly reached out, his hands were huge, with prominent knuckles, and he scooped me up in one grasp.

"Is this a special case You'll know once you try it..."

Have you… tried

What is he going to try.

Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

In the midst of chaos, a frantic wind swept me away, I don't know where it took me. I bumped into something hard and fainted.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a faint red candle flame.

illuminated the small area before my eyes.

I lay slouched on an antique moon-shaped bed, the floor strewn with several uneven old stone slabs. Not far away stood a shrine table, with a red candle lamp placed upon it.

This scene feels strangely familiar.

I pushed myself up and felt a sharp pain in my left hand — this left hand of mine has really been having a rough time lately.

Lowering my head, I noticed a bloodstain on my wrist, appearing at some point. It looked like a tiny drop of vermilion, resting at the junction of my forearm and wrist.

I rubbed my right hand gently with my fingers, and I gasped in pain as if I had been pricked by a thick needle!

The shadows of light can only reach this small area right in front of us, much like the space Jin Mo had fused with before.

Just as I was about to step onto the ground, a voice, not entirely unfamiliar, echoed from the darkness: “Be careful, step on the dark parts, I don't know where you might fall.”

It's like saying everyone's there and every ghost is there.

Chong Mo's face appeared from behind the offering table. He lazily propped himself up with one hand, impatiently saying: "Hmph... to have such a high-ranking official come personally to apprehend me, you're quite brazen... But you're bold indeed, daring to touch upon the Daoist realm of an esteemed individual..."

I don't know why, but when I saw Chongmo, this talkative guy appear, I was actually a little relieved.

"What place is this..." I touched my forehead, sure enough there was a throbbing bruise. It seemed I had hit the bed rail when they threw me here.

"Where else could it be~ We can only stay in this human-fused space... This courtyard, haven't you been here before" Chong Mo laughed wickedly: "Last time I caught you, I also fused the space here... It's like a barrier, right"

"You guys really don't listen! I told you, I don't know anything about opening a channel. You should ask Jiang Qiyun instead, if he's willing, he might tell you how to do it!" I said, both angry and exasperated.

Chong Mo hung one arm, stretched with one hand lazily, and said nonchalantly, "Don't kid around. The Underworld of the Northern Tai Emperor is heavily guarded. There's only a chance for a spatial rift at the back of Xuguishan occasionally. At other times, we wouldn't open a channel to the Underworld—it's meaningless."

Meaning……

“What on earth do you intend to do Don't humans, as well as gods, demons, and spirits, have their share of people who fall into the demonic path… You don't lack followers already, do you Why open a channel to the human world” I simply couldn't understand why they went through all this trouble.

Could it be that conquering the world is the reason for such vulgarity

In my experience, even celestial beings and deities—even demons—disdain the mortal world. What would conquering it achieve

"You're just a little girl with low cultivation, how could you possibly understand"

"......I'm a mother now, still a little girl" I was covered in black lines: "If you don't plan to kill me, please let me go back!"

"No need to rush. ~I reported your situation to the Lord before, now that the Lord has caught you, naturally he wants to try if you're useful..." Chong Mo smirked.

I was stunned: “You, how do you want to test”

Chong Mo glanced at my wrist with a wicked smile. "We demons don't have things like engagement gifts or mutual consent... As long as we make a blood oath, even if it's an engagement agreement... It's generally the strong who rule. That blood spot on your hand is your vow to our esteemed Lord. Your body, your life, all belong to our esteemed Lord."

"What! An alliance isn't something we freely choose, how can you make decisions for us!" I retorted angrily. "And what about my body, my life...I have a husband, okay!"

"Chu Mo let out a sneer and chuckled, "So what... Let's first see if this treaty is any use. If it works, Your Lord might just let you go back... If not..." Hehe..."

He smiled ominously, leaving the second half of his sentence unsaid.vements were slow, it was because I was startled and frozen in shock. My mind hadn't caught up yet.All judgments of time and distance were temporarily suspended, forgetting how I should react for a mo...
