The Wife of a Ghost - C308

“What are you doing here?” Tao Tie passed me a military uniform and asked, “Shouldn’t you have been killed by His Highness in Great Nether King Palace? Why have you still come?”

I hugged my military uniform and didn’t regain my original identity. I said to Tao Tie, “If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known that your beloved Prince of Death had so many things hidden from me.”

Tao Tie frowned, “Don’t listen to whatever Qiao Ji is saying. He is angry, so you cannot trust his words.”

Then I should believe when the words are said. Who took pity on me after I was drunk, or when everyone said “the truth” when they were awake. Whether it was a human or a ghost, as long as there was someone or something they were afraid of in their heart, their words would always subconsciously explain themselves to the person they feared. This was human nature. Human nature, however, is often used to deceive.

I put away the military uniform and put it in my space bag, “Tao Tie, you don’t have to tell me anything else. I know what I should do now.”

Although it wasn’t me who instigated the attack on the ghost valley, it was very clear when the Hades’ Hall was discussing about this matter. My vote was extremely important, if it wasn’t because I stood at the end of the fight against the ghost valley, Zisang Ming might have listened to Wang Yishao’s advice and resolved this issue in a more peaceful manner. Thus, in the end, I am responsible for this war. Right now, it seems like Zisang Ming and I have only slept together. As for his wife, since he’s already hidden in the mansion and doesn’t want others to see, then he should be in love with her. Why would I go over there to make fun of him?

“Where are you going?” I turned around to leave, but the Taotie stopped me, “Your Highness should already know your identity, where are you going now?”

So what if I know? Other than saving my parents’ souls, what else can I do upon coming to the battlefield? Right, if he didn’t say anything, I would have ignored him.

“Since Zisang Ming already knows my identity, then go back and tell him, I don’t need his help to save my parents, and he should just stay put. The life of the Underworld is also limited, and he was previously so ignorant, yet he actually wanted to use a large amount of their manpower for the sake of two people’s souls.”

As smart as a Taotie, when my words reach this point, he completely saw through my intentions of fighting alone. The force that grabbed onto my shoulder became tighter, and he said: “If you want to say these words, go and tell His Highness Zisang Ming, I am not your messenger.”

“But in the end, you’re still a subordinate!” I broke through the illusion and directly became a Rakshasi. Even in the underworld, the divine might of Raksha was enough to force back a large portion of the people.

The Taotie’s hand was suddenly scalded from my sudden change, if she wanted to continue grabbing it, she wouldn’t be able to do anything. She could only retract it and looked at me fixedly, “Yan Nuo, you should trust His Highness.”

Yes, I’ve always trusted him, and I still don’t suspect him. He’s just hiding something, hiding a person, hiding a relationship. That’s all, he didn’t lie to me.

It’s just that I was a little silly, and he didn’t say anything, so I didn’t ask.

I cast a Body Securing Curse on the Taotie, and in two hours, it will release on its own. And this two hours of time is just enough for me to rush from the camp here to enter Zisang Chi’s hinterland.

Zisang Ming, I also want to ask you in person the truth of this matter, but I also know that the current me cannot calmly sit down and talk to you, so, I am sorry, I am just an ostrich, a cowering turtle. In front of something I do not want to face, the only thing I can think of is escape. I wanted to bury my head in the thick sand so that I could not see all the truth in the world, and I wanted to hide my head in my shell and focus forever on this little bit of light in front of me.

The ghost valley is located at the border of the Underworld, and as its name implied, the place is a valley filled with dense ghost aura. When I was looking at this place with Zisang Ming just now, I saw that Zisang Chi was probably hiding a few very powerful evil spirits, so I had to hide myself deep inside the ghost valley — — where Zisang Chi was stationed to avoid the areas guarded by those evil spirits.

I used the Infernal to cover up all the Qi on my body, and then used the dense forest surrounding ghost valley to slowly walk towards the center area. But just now, this evil ghost’s power looked very strong in the sky, and looking at it up close, it was actually much stronger than what I saw in the Sky Mountain.

Even I find it hard to face so many by myself. Needless to say, after killing all these evil spirits, there was still Zisang Chi and Zi Sang Yu waiting behind them.

After walking carefully for more than half an hour, I finally approached the center from the periphery. The number of ordinary guards in the Underworld increased as well.

“Hey, be careful. The nearby guards don’t recognize anyone. Be careful as you approach their perimeter.”

As soon as I got close, just as the two patrols were passing by a clearing not far ahead of me, I stood behind a tree and wanted to hear if I could get any useful information from their conversation. It would be better if I knew where my parents were now.

“I understand, I just want to see what they look like. I heard before that His Highness has a group of evil spirits under his command, and they are even more vicious and good at fighting than His Highness Zisang Ming’s yin warriors. Today, I finally have the chance to watch them.”

The first person to speak humphed coldly, “What use are these warriors? Right now, the ones fighting outside are not the captives of the Yin Street, although they say they are warriors, they are actually just dogs that maintain their lives. It’s just that the life of this dog is precious, they have to use humans as cannon fodder.”

‘s army did not seem to have a steady mind. Two random patrolling soldiers had a deep grudge against him, if they could disintegrate it from the inside, it would really reduce the number of casualties among the soldiers of the Underworld.

“Don’t move!”

As I thought about all this nonsense, my mind was a little distracted. I didn’t notice what was going on behind me for a while, so by the time I heard footsteps behind me and wanted to escape, it was already too late. My shoulders were gripped tightly by a King Kong claw. As long as there is the slightest movement, there is no doubt that the thing forged by King Kong will immediately grip my shoulders tightly, making me unable to beg for my life.

Fortunately, I still have a different appearance to that of a man and my aura has been completely concealed. Sensing the threat behind me, I did not think too much and kneeled down, begging for mercy immediately after, “General, please spare me! Subordinate, this subordinate did not intend to be here. It’s just that I was entangled by evil spirits a moment ago, so I was unable to find the camp now. ”

“Wrapped by an evil spirit’s foot?” It was obvious that the other party did not want to believe this excuse. His voice was filled with suspicion as he placed the longsword under my chin and slowly lifted my face up. “Yo, I was truly frightened.”

If it wasn’t for the dense ghost aura around him, I would have thought that he was someone’s child. However, it was precisely because of the ghost aura around him that this young man was one of the monsters that people were afraid of.

My legs were trembling, my eyes were glazed, and there were tears in my eyes that had yet to dry. I looked more like a teenager who had never been to the battlefield before. I continued to beg the youth, “General! General! Please spare my life!”

The youth grinned, baring his canine teeth, “Don’t be afraid. Everyone here thinks that evil spirits can be killed on sight. Actually, we really aren’t that bloodthirsty. We won’t fall for any kind of blood.” As he said that, he helped me up from the ground and looked towards the center of ghost valley. In a blink of an eye, only the whites of his eyes remained, and even though his mouth opened and closed, he seemed to be saying something, but no sound came out at all.

If I guess correctly, this young man should be contacting Zisang Chi, using a language only they could understand, could it be that he was discovered that I am not from here? My heart tightened and I subconsciously formed the Thunder God’s Art to prevent the youth from making any dangerous movements. I could react as fast as I could.

Instead, she hugged me even more intimately, like a long-lost friend, and hugged me in a big hug. “Indeed, I was too suspicious, His Highness has already confirmed your identity,” she shrugged, her expression still a little wronged, “And he also scolded me a bit on the way. He said that even though we didn’t remember any of the people, he still wanted to remember them, but it seems like this person’s temper is getting worse after dozens of years.”

I heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, I wasn’t recognized. It scared me to death. When I released the Thunder God’s Art, my breathing became a little heavier.

The youth patted my shoulder, raised the corner of his mouth, and laughed: “Don’t be afraid, judging from your clothes, you must be from Yin Street, right?” He rolled his eyes, thought for a while and said: “Since you came from Yin Street, and you are still able to go into the inner camp, then you should be a guard, no wonder you can’t find your way. The place to imprison the Empress is at the southernmost, and this is the north, you escaped in the wrong direction. “Aiyaya, how annoying. The troops from the Underworld come here every day to snatch people, and they spend a lot of time and effort just to set up defenses there.”

My body jolted and all of my attention focused on the word ‘Empress’ that the youth spoke of. I don’t think they would call my mother a queen. Qiao Ji had said that the War God was also brought into their own team by Zisang Chi and Zi Sang Yu. The woman that Zisang Ming had spent so much effort to marry was right here.

I was too focused on my thoughts so I didn’t hear what the young man said clearly. The young man’s tone was slightly displeased as he patted me and said, “Hey, I’m talking to you. What are you thinking?”

“Ah, me, me …”

“Alright, alright, not ‘I’, you should go back now. Since there is no one to help look after the young miss, she must be angry, I don’t want to offend her,” the boy pointed out a path for me. “Go north along this forest, do you see those trees with red marks on them? If you stay under those trees, no one would make things difficult for you. Go on, don’t forget to ask the young miss for me when we get back, just say that Han Shan misses her, and come over to play when he’s free. “
