n riddles.My brother, sucking on a lollipop, said: “I remember I once joked that the Hou family had a lot of bad luck. I didn’t expect it to be so bad, becoming paupers in just a year... Could there b...In my view, the Underworld is a place of contradictions.

This place also has magnificent and ethereal landscapes, but overall it is a desolate realm. However, it is also the place of reincarnation.

Life and death cycle here, while some places are utterly desolate, such as the Bloodpool Hell and the Shadow Mountain.

The Yinshan Mountains are the main ridge of Mount Yin, the abode of the underworld gods. Behind the Yinshan Mountains is actually the deepest prison in the Yinshan Mountains.

Because this place is purely yin with no yang, the Taoist school of alchemy in the mortal world calls it the "Xu Wei" (literally: Void Danger) Cave. Therefore, Bei Yin Mountain also has a unique name: "Xu Wei Mountain".

The ghosts dwelling here have only two fates: to be reduced to ashes or to wander aimlessly, awaiting punishment.

However, some lucky ghosts managed to escape. For example, the Blood-Faced Ghost King slipped out when Huang Dao's sealing formation was tilted during a moment of weakness. He then happened upon Jiang Qiyun's abandoned negative thoughts and desires, fusing with them to gain immense power.

Most ghosts in this gloomy, fog-filled ravine prison are full of despair.

Here, a black mist hangs heavy, an aura of decay and utter desolation.

Jiang Qiyun embraced me and brought me to a platform on top of the cliff. There was a pavilion here, where Yin officials and ghost messengers worked.

A shadowy official stood up and bowed, saying, “Your Majesty, the souls brought down by the little Empress just now have all been thrown into the Xuwei Mountain Gorge. Many were torn to pieces by the chimeras and demons, but Zhu Weiti because she had a trace of fairy qi on her body remained unharmed.”

Qi She stole my Qian Chong Xue!

She stole my little lotus flower, that's why she's radiating fairy energy... How do I get it back" I looked at Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance. The ravine below was shrouded in a thick blanket of dark clouds. What could he possibly see

"Make the Nether Beasts drive her out, have the Ghost Officers bind her soul and search her thoroughly. Also, search the ravine carefully. We must find Qian Chongxue." Jiang Qiyun ordered, frowning.

Several sinister officials and minor demons immediately took orders and left. The other small demons exchanged glances secretly before retreating from the pavilion.

What do you mean!

Hiding so far away and still peeking, do you think I can't see you!

"These little rascals, each one a sly fox!" I said to Jiang Qiyun angrily. "Look at their playful and knowing eyes, it's really infuriating!"

Jiang Qiyun chuckled lightly, sat on the railing, and held me in his lap.

"It's normal for them to avoid looking at us. Don't you want them to focus on their own business instead of constantly watching our every move" Jiang Qiyun smiled.

"...How would Zhu Weiti handle this" I was a little conflicted.

I hope she will vanish into thin air, and the sooner the better. But Jiang Qiyun once said there was still some time left on her four-hundred-year deadline, so that's why he threw her in here, right

"How do you want to handle this" Jiang Qiyun asked with a smile, "Didn't you help me get my official seal"

"Of course, I'd like to eliminate the root of the problem and put an end to it all. But shouldn't we strictly abide by the words of celestial beings and gods Breaking a promise seems to be a serious matter"

"Of course, the Taoist precepts and divine restrictions, I cannot speak falsely about them." Jiang Qiyun said in a low voice.

Then she could only be left here on Xuwai Mountain to be devoured by other ghosts. Let's see if she can survive the remaining years. When she does, she will face the judgment of Liutian Palace and the torture of the Twenty-Four Hells.

Qian Chongxue was found very quickly, which surprised me a little. I was worried she might be stolen like Mingzhang.

Jiang Qiyun let out a chuckle and said, "You're overthinking it. Mingzhang is still somewhat useful, but this Qian Chongxue... what use would it be This is something that condenses your good fortune and cultivation. Others wouldn't find much use in it."

He reached out to take the small lotus held by the ghostly official. The lotus had already turned white halfway!

I couldn't hide my excitement as I said, "We're already halfway there!"

Jiang Qiyun was a little unhappy. He probably thought it was too slow. He frowned and said, "This speed is not fast. In the future, we still need to pay attention to accumulating blessings and doing our homework every morning and evening."

"...I know, I know. You're even more anxious than me, huh" I smiled at him.

"Can you not rush me I'm sitting in the Heavenly Son Hall, which takes up an entire day. There's simply no time to attend to you, and you're so prone to getting into trouble..." He raised his hand to rub his temples, looking pained.

What do you want me to do then

"Do you want me to sit in the Yinjing Heavenly Palace and wait for you all day That's so boring, I wouldn't." I shook my head quickly.

"You can wait inside the Imperial Palace if you wish."

“No, who would want to sit and watch you work It's terribly boring. I'd rather be at home with the kids!”

He smirked and said, "You said so yourself. Then stay home and take good care of the children... Come on, I'll send you back."

This guy actually expects me to be a housewife Staying home all day taking care of the kids and waiting for him to come back at night As if!

Jiang Qiyun did not let me stay in the underworld for long. He still had many things to attend to, so he first sent me back to the dilapidated village.

By this time, the sky was already bright. The entire village had been utterly destroyed. The people of Wushi Mountain City were busy dealing with the miasma and stench of death that permeated the area. They piled the limbs and flesh together and burned them, then performed exorcism rituals.

When I arrived, my brother was checking Little Jie's injuries. It had been kicked by the celestial lord of calculations and injured its bones. It was panting heavily.

My heart ached so badly, I hurried to ask Jiang Qiyun how he was treating it.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, "Didn't I give you two pills for the child Just give him one."

I patted its head and crushed a small pill, feeding the powder to Xiao Nie.

Little Ni licked my wound with its tongue and said arrogantly, "Hmph, when I can fully manifest as a human, I won't be afraid of them!"

My older brother sighed and said, "Silly kid, your cat ears and short tail are weapons! If you could de-evolve your ears and tail, I bet the girls wouldn't be as fond of you. Don't be stupid, just keep them! There are so many benefits to keeping them! You'll understand later!"

I gave the remaining pill to Mu Wanchen. Mu Wanchen frowned and said, "What am I supposed to do The Ghost Princess is gone, the danger in the Mi Jiang River Valley has been lifted."

"Keep it, for your future little wife...you idiot!" I glared at him.

If this elixir could bring the dead back to life and cure grievous wounds, then if the woman he was waiting for still couldn't resist the venom of the female gu, he could use it to save her. This way, he wouldn't be consumed by regret.

Mu Wanchen was silent, taking the pill from my hand.

My brother reminded, "Xiao Qiao, we should go back early... Our family must be very anxious after being out for so many days."It was worth it to give her a good scolding; she turned as red as beet."I smiled. Sure enough, as the saying goes, "The kind are often taken advantage of." Auntie Lin probably didn't expect that we w...
