Meeting an old friend

is to make some money to support myself, and give it to my disciple. He will bring me food…” The old man explained tremblingly.He raised his hand and made the gestures, his withered fingers surprising...This female ghost is truly relentless. Because she's a ghost fused with a minor demon, she fled to the Demon Realm. She roams back and forth between the Underworld and the Demon Realm. And because she is a ghost, separated from the human world by a thin veil, she can escape into the mortal realm when spatial collisions occur.

She is not someone who patiently lurks, she's been very active since arriving in the world and doesn't care about being noticed by insiders.

Even her subordinates built her shelters on Earth and searched for prey for her.

At this moment, she crawled out from behind the rockery, her head on top of that little demon's body, while her headless torso reached for me with both hands.

If you personally experience this kind of situation, you might know what it means to have something happen in the blink of an eye.

Though her movements 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 moment, I could only instinctively dodge.

Just as I instinctively shrank my neck back, the female ghost's hand was about to touch my face. A wave of icy coldness sent shivers down my spine, and I involuntarily took half a step backward.

This female ghost seemed to have long ornaments on her fingers in life. She reached out and grabbed at me out of thin air. The sharp tip grazed my nose before I dodged it.

For a moment, I felt like my brain went blank.

If an ordinary person were suddenly struck by such intense negative energy, they might be so frightened that they would be stunned. Unable to see the ghosts, the fear and panic, or the instability of their spirit and life force, would make them vulnerable to being possessed.

Therefore, cultivation at its core is a training of the mind and spirit. By the time I shrank my neck and retreated, my brother had already gripped his Great Five Emperors Qiankun Dao Sword and swung it towards me.

The female ghost missed her grab and was forced to retreat by my brother's sword. The small demon beside her, with its large head, was visibly furious, as if it wanted to pounce on me!

It seems she was beheaded before her death. After being thrown into the Xuwei Mountain, her head merged with the exposed little demon, transforming her into that grotesque and bizarre big-headed rat form. Her body, however, still retained its ability to do evil.

“Got you, but all the credit goes to—!” The man with veins bulging on his forehead roared, commanding his body to lunge forward.

Whoosh—

A chain silently slipped around the female ghost's back, precisely pulling her head and body backward!

As a ghost, her body was formed from condensed yin energy, and she was a powerful female ghost. She sensed the danger and her body instantly dispersed into wisps of ghostly energy, trying to flee. However, that small demon with a large head was not so easily dispersed. It was caught by the chain, rolling and falling off the artificial mountain before landing in a net-like array of chains!

"Hee hee hee... Thank you, Little Lady and Big Brother, for your help~~~~" Bai Wu Chang's avatar walked out of the gradually dissipating smoke and mist.

At some point, he laid out a dense net of chains on the ground. The big-headed little demon seemed like a crab caught in a trap, dashing left and right but unable to find an escape.

Bai Wu Chang held one end of the chain, walking towards a nearly disappearing "well" on the ground.

As he walked, he turned back and smiled at me. “Little Empress,” he said, “I leave the affairs of mortals to you. I have to hurry back and deal with these demons who are causing trouble in the underworld…”

The man in his hand roared, "Bai Wu Chang! You cowardly coward who doesn't dare to fight head-on — you actually attacked me — I won't let you get away with this—"

Bai Wu Chang narrowed his eyes, glanced at the "bamboo basket" in his hand with a face as cold as frost, and sneered: “Really~~~~ That's wonderful~~~~ I, too, won't let you go, Princess Siman~~ When we get to the underworld, I'll slowly play with you……”

"Wait—" I hurried to call out to Bai Wu Chang.

He instantly flashed a sly smile and asked, "Do you have any further orders, little empress"

"No, no..." I wouldn't dare ask you to do anything!

“Is there anything else you want to ask” Bai Wu Chang raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly, “Although the Emperor usually doesn’t put on airs, his position is the Administrator of the Underworld, the revered god of the netherworld. His every word is a command. Little Empress, you don’t need to know too much, just do what the Emperor says…”

“Well… I’d like to ask… that carriage just now, it was empty, I didn’t see the Dark Emperor of the Northern Heaven from the Demon Realm, I wonder—”

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

Although the imposing carriage I just saw was far away and obscured by smoke, dust, and falling dark clouds, I truly didn't see anyone on top of it.

I have never seen the true face of that Dark Emperor of the North, but I have seen his phantom.

Did he not come through the portal

Bai Wu Chang raised his hand. At this moment, his avatar was without the snow-white robe and wide sleeves. One could see his slender and powerful fingers, and wrists as white as frost.

He bent his finger, gently pinching his lips, and whispered: “ … I didn't expect you to see it too. As for the specifics, we still need to capture a few live mouths to interrogate before we can understand ... Little Madam, you should handle matters in the mortal world first. Once Your Majesty finishes his business, he will definitely come to find you as soon as possible, hehe... Don't worry~~”

I nodded, it was for the best that that Northern Black Emperor didn't show up. Perhaps this passage wasn't capable of accommodating a demon god of his level yet

The female ghost's head was taken away, the headless apparition scattered and fled. Bai Wu Chang walked into the "well" on the ground, and the entire space returned to utter stillness.

》》》

In the whole resort, we could find a total of three hundred and thirty people.

Eradication of the demonic, souls return to their rightful place.

The little altar was too small, so I drew a diagram on the ground with incantations. My brother and I forgot all about time.

Until the barrier naturally dissipated, my brother realized that his watch had stopped sometime ago and his phone was long dead.

We seem to be on a deserted island.

"Damn… it's still so expensive to get a Jaeger-LeCoultre… could it be from Xibei" My brother adjusted his watch.

Our line of work often deals with some unusual "magnetic fields". Watches are basically useless, cell phones frequently have no signal, and it's more helpful to learn how to read the stars.

“…You’re just saying that because you think I have a lot of money to burn, aren't you” I sighed and rubbed my face.

It took a lot of effort to drag each and every one of these souls back into the house.

We are in the second-floor restaurant of a resort hotel. My brother found instant noodles and went to the kitchen to fry eggs. The steam from the instant noodles is rising slowly before us, but I'm too tired to have an appetite.

"What You think my scrambled eggs are burnt It's just a little bit, you can just pick it off...Hurry up and finish eating, then get out." My brother looked at me.

"I wasn't picky... I forgot I was hungry... What should I do about Chang Jing" I picked up a plastic fork and started eating ramen face-to-face with my brother.

Ramen has a strong aroma. I wasn't really interested in eating it at first, but the smell of someone opening a package always makes me crave it.

"What else can we do You call Song Wei and have her contact her family privately, let them come here to pick her up and take her to the hospital... We've done our best, haven't we! Not a single penny received! Back then, even half a bottle of vinegar could earn enough for Dad's phone bills. Now Ha ha, being morally blackmailed into doing free work all day!" My brother let out a cold snort.

This... is indeed correct...

It seems that after taking on some commissions these years, some people have started to build relationships to ask for favors. You can't just turn people away who are smiling, and you can't bring up commission fees right away. People might even say behind your back that the Shen family and Mu family only care about money. Before even doing the commission, they talk about money...

Been brought into disrepute.

"Are you worried about Jiang Qiyun" my brother asked.

I nodded, but my worry was somewhat excessive. What use did the Underworld God have for my concern After a few bites of instant noodles, out of boredom, I pulled out my token as a minor ghost messenger — the summoning slip.

My phone has no signal, but this summoning slip doesn't rely on WIFI. As soon as I took it out, a line of ominous script appeared, quickly flashing across the surface.

"Hey! There's a delivery! This address is near our place!" I widened my eyes and carefully looked at the address.

My brother snatched the paper with the invocation script, glanced at it, and flipped it over on the table. "Cut the crap, eat, go home, shower, sleep! You're making things worse! Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't you still have some meeting to hold Time is frozen here, do you know what month and day it is"

Meeting... a meeting

My mouth hung open in an O—game over! I'd completely forgotten about this.ay to the gates of Qinghua Changle Realm, I would accept it with joy.The atmosphere is just too good... so good that I don't even want to walk, I just want to stay in his arms.But, the troublemakers w...
