The Wife of a Ghost - C304

When I woke up, there was no surprise at all. I was left behind in the Hades’ Hall. Ignoring the objections of the High Priest, Zisang Ming had postponed the enthronement for a year. Now, he had brought the soldiers of the King of Hell to the ghost valley, making it so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

He looked at Zisang Lin who seemed like a little sinner as he lowered his head and did not dare to speak to me. Zisang Ming truly knew how to pinch my weak spot and knew that I would not lose my temper at him, so he left him here to guard.

My poor son thought he had been punished for some mistake.

“Stop standing there. Come, come here.” I waved at Zisang Lin, it had been a long time since I had a good look at him, the little guy had grown even taller, his clothes could no longer drag the floor, and his face was no longer as round as a baby’s. The children of the Underworld sure grow up fast, if they were in the mortal world, there wouldn’t be any changes during these few days.

Zisang Lin still didn’t dare approach, but it was difficult for him to resist the temptation. After hesitating for a while, he walked over and sat down beside me.

I smiled and touched his head. “Why do you ask?”

Zisang Lin pursed his lips, and intentionally looked around to prevent the wall from having ears, “Last night when royal father sent you in, his face was extremely serious, as if he was angry.”

Didn’t your father always have that kind of expression?

Zisang Lin hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, no. When royal father was with his mother, his expression was very good, and only when he’s angry would he be this scary. Just like yesterday, he must have been angry.”

Was his expression still good when he was with me? Occasionally, I would raise the corner of my mouth and laugh. It was already considered good, but a child shouldn’t be able to lie, so it seems like Zisang Ming and I were different from normal times.

“Shun,” I said, turning his little face to me and hugging him, “did your father say anything about putting it here?”

Zisang Lin rolled his eyes and thought for a while: “I said, he wanted me to watch over you and not let you leave the Great Nether King Palace. He also said that no matter what happens, I must protect you well.

My vision went dark and huge beads of sweat appeared on my forehead. This is how this bastard threatened my son. Remember, when these matters are settled, I will definitely settle this with you.

I tightly hugged onto Zisang Lin’s strength, “Don’t listen to your royal father’s nonsense, he won’t hurt you.”

Zisang Lin nodded, “Mn, I know father still loves them dearly. The last few times I was sent into the wolves behind the back mountains of Hades’ Hall was just to train myself, hehe, mother, you still don’t know, but now that I have escaped from the wolves, I can even tear apart the Wolf King. That’s right, I don’t know if there are any new wolf kings among the wolves behind the back mountains, they won’t end up being a pack of wolves without a leader.”

“That’s great.”

Just you wait, Zisang Ming. If my son died because of your teaching method, I will throw you into the wolves to feed to him.

Even though my heart ached, I still didn’t forget my important matters. I took the Infernal s that had been purified out of my embrace and placed them on my knees, opening them.

When Hei Wuchang returned, he gave the Infernal back to me. On the same day, I completed all the purification tasks, and imbued the Infernal with an even heavier blood curse as per what Zhao Xue had said. This ill-fated divine artifact was now completely connected to me, and finally won’t fall into other people’s hands.

Furthermore, it’s also because of this blood curse that I found a lot of things on the Infernal that I didn’t know about before. I didn’t know what kind of curse Zisang Ming had on my body, but all of the strength in my body right now would definitely be inferior to Zisang Lin’s, so he could be at ease and leave me at home, so that Han Yao could watch over me, but as the saying goes, a wise man will definitely have a slip of the hand, leaving behind a curse but to me, not taking away the Infernal is like leaving behind a bottle of antidote.

“Shout.” I took his hand. “Do you love your mother?”

Zisang Lin hugged my neck, “Love mother, I love mother the most.”

I lifted him off my neck. “Can you listen to Mother?”

Zisang Lin was in a bit of a difficult situation as he hesitated for a moment before saying, “As long as mother does not leave, mother will listen to Father.”

My foolish son, your father wants to throw you out to feed the wolves, but you are still obedient.

I touched his face, then placed his hand on the Infernal. “Don’t worry, mother won’t leave. Mother will always be with you.”

Bing saw that her hand had suddenly disappeared from the Infernal, and a small hand appeared on the Infernal. She immediately became playful, and didn’t bother to ask me anything, she was so excited that she almost jumped up, “What is this? Mother, look, my hand is on the book! Eh? Why can’t I take it down? Mother, what are you doing, mother! “You …”

I released the seal that I had quietly grabbed onto, and Zisang Lin became a picture, imprinted inside the Infernal.

Son, don’t blame me. Mother can’t do anything either, I’m worried about leaving you alone in Hades’ Hall, so I’ll let you suffer in the Infernal for a while. As for the seal on my body, I’m really not sure what it is, so I can only give it a try.

Once again, I made a hand seal and opened another blank page of the Infernal. I placed my hands on it, and then tried to activate the seal on my soul. Very quickly, a faint layer of light shot out from my body, and I was overjoyed, I didn’t expect to meet the first one. In less than a minute, the seal that sealed my power had also disappeared along with this layer of light.

As expected, Zisang Ming still wouldn’t do it again, and the seal on my soul was just right for the power that sealed me. Seems like this was arranged by the heavens, for this battle, I am destined to not be distracted.

After leaving Great Nether King Palace, I immediately changed my clothes using the Infernal. Considering Zisang Ming’s understanding of me, with just a change in face, even if he were to use his body, he would be able to recognize me. After that, they sped on for a day and a night. On the second day, just as the army from the Underworld arrived at the place they had stationed themselves around ghost valley, they caught up.

The first day that we arrived here would definitely be to rest the entire troop, but there are several hundred thousand people in the Underworld army. If they want to sneak in, it’s very simple — — As long as they don’t have Zisang Chi’s aura on them and indicate their status in the Underworld, they can basically be acknowledged.

I tidied up my clothes to make myself look as tired as everyone else. After entering the camp, not even one hundred meters away, I was stopped by an armored warrior. “Hey, you, stop. What are you doing?”

The rank on his shoulder was that of a centurion, and on his chest was a heart protector that looked pretty good. However, it seemed that the size was a bit off, as it was too small for his robust body. This should be the place under his jurisdiction. If a stranger trespasses, he will immediately discover it. His entire position is considered very competent, but I can’t act too humbly in this army. Otherwise, there won’t be any good consequences.

Hm? How could I be so familiar with the army? Even in Rakasha’s memory, I don’t think I’ve ever been in the army.

I frowned and hurriedly suppressed the messy memories in my head. I leisurely turned around and walked to his side. “I am the lieutenant of the Tao Tie general. I am here to check on the situation of the various battalions.”

It was definitely safest to report the name of the Taotie if one wanted to gain a foothold in this place. Because the Underworld bullies the weak, if one did not have a substantive relationship with strong people, no one would dare to say that they were people close to him. Otherwise, the entire Underworld would probably be Zisang Ming’s relatives. It was more reasonable to report the Taotie than Zisang Ming. Even if they were to be discovered, they would at most confess their identities to the Taotie.

As expected, when the Centurion heard the words Taotie, the arrogance on his face immediately changed into doubt, and he started to size me up by the side. I just stood there and let him carefully observe me, and after a while, the Centurion didn’t see any flaws, and after sensing my body’s aura, he also didn’t sense Zisang Chi’s presence, so even if he had doubts in his heart, he could only put them down.

Coincidentally, the messenger next to the Centurion reported that the bridgehead was about to start counting the troops.

The Centurion nodded to the messenger and said to me, “This general, since you are following the command of the Taotie General, you should tell me in advance the next time you come so that there will be no misunderstandings.”

I coldly snorted. I didn’t feel ‘kind’ at all from his reminder. Whether in the mortal world or in the underworld, this bureaucratic affair had never ceased for five thousand years. When the emperor went out to travel, he told all the local officials that he was going to pass by in advance, and there would be no more robberies and bullying of the people in these places. If I were to patrol, I would tell you in advance when I was coming. I also can’t see you taking your subordinate’s protective items and placing them on your chest, letting your subordinate wear a single attire in preparation to fight against the enemy, right?

The centurion went to the gathering place. The small messenger should have returned to the camp. I called out to him, “Hey, pass the order.”

The soldier turned around and glanced at me. Since the centurions called me ‘little general’, he naturally didn’t dare act rashly. He nodded and responded, “Little general, what’s the matter?”

I pulled out a close-fitting heartguard mirror from the Infernal and threw it into his hands. “This is for you, wear it inside. Don’t let anyone snatch it away.”

A soldier like him was considered the lowest level in the Underworld, and any warrior could kill him, so the Heart Protecting Mirror was extremely important to them. However, because their lives were not good, the thing that saved their lives was taken away by their centurion, so it was clear that they wanted him to die in this war.

Casualties were unavoidable in a war, but unnecessary casualties were avoided.
