fallen into a pit~~"I glared at my brother and went back to my room to sleep. As soon as I pushed open the door, I felt a wave of icy air. Could Jiang Qiyun be back!"Jiang—" I was about to speak.A gha...When I landed again on the platform of Yin Jing Tian Gong, maidservants knelt in two rows to greet me. Bai Wu Chang was grinning and leaning against the palace entrance.

"Welcome back to the palace, Little Empress~," he said with his trademark smile, which made me choke on air.

"Seventh Uncle!"

I stomped up to him, fuming.

"I trust you! How... how do you always betray me! Am I that easily fooled!"

Bai Wu often wore a wide-sleeved robe to cover her mouth, laughing so hard that she shook against the palace gate.

"Little Empress, oh little Empress! You can't wrongly accuse me. I have never harmed you in the slightest! It's all for your own good... and it's all a test and an opportunity given to you by the great deities." He laughed.

"Without these opportunities, how could you possibly achieve enlightenment and immortality All the hardships, obstacles, and separations are but demons. Overcoming them brings about a much faster path to cultivation than following established routines! Moreover, the Celestial Emperor is so protective of you, fearing that you might get hurt, that even when he's in deep meditation, he prepares contingency plans beforehand, worried that you wouldn't be able to handle Zhu Weiti."

Bai Wuchang floated to my side, saying, “Ai~ I’ve seen many honorable gods who have diligently cultivated their path in solitude. But this is the first time I’ve seen an honorable god so dedicated to guiding his wife on her cultivation journey~~”

"Little Empress, oh~ You're young and have a lot of pressure, we know it's not easy for you… But the Celestial Emperor is also getting married for the first time! It's not easy for him either. He has to learn how to please you, hee hee…"

He smiled and took Jiang Qiyun's name seal from his sleeve, placing it in my palm: "See, both times I kept it for you. You believe I wouldn't harm you, right"

I put the nameplate back on my neck with a huff: "Seventh Lord, you are the most elusive deity in the underworld! Playing the villain is just playing your part! Every time, I'm scared out of my wits by you! Please, next time don't prank me anymore. If you keep scaring people like this, your wife will leave you!"

Bai Wu Chang narrowed his sinister eyes, a malevolent smile creeping across his face: “Run Where could she possibly run to She dared to provoke me and now wants to escape my grasp Hehehe…”

I can't help but feel sympathy for Mu Chang Po. How could she possibly fall in love with a deity like Qi Ye

Although Qixie is alluringly handsome, when he gets serious… no, when he gets ghostly…he’s terrifying!

"Qixie, why am I seeing terrifying hallucinations Are these maids really paper people" I asked in confusion.

Bai Wu Chang smiled, his white and slender fingers went to his mouth and made a shushing gesture: "Illusions are usually your inner fears magnified countless times. In the future~~ little Empress, when you encounter illusions again, please don't think about those scary things~~"

"Okay, alright."

"Hee hee hee…"

Where's my little A-Nie I looked around, but couldn't see him anywhere.

"That little lynx I think I just saw it being chased down the mountain." Bai Wu Chang raised an eyebrow, showing no concern for the lynx at all.

I was taken aback, being chased

"Who is chasing you"

"Who else could it be In this underworld, the only ghost or fairy who could enter your room is Meng Shu, isn't it"

I covered my face, oh my god, it must be that Meng Shu saw the proud young man with little lynx ears, tiger teeth and a small tail!

The little lynx is male, and he's fair-skinned and handsome...ahem, fair-skinned and handsome young man.

His cultivation was not yet sufficient, details like his ears, fangs and tail hadn't fully transformed into human form.

This image, coupled with that tsundere face.

How many women wouldn't blush at something cute

Xiao Nie stood before me, putting on a proud and aloof act. After all, he lived longer than I did. However, in front of these little gods, he was just an enlightened spirit beast.

I suspect now all the fur on its tail has been pulled out!

I walked up the steps to the palace gate. The headless guard, armed with a sword, axe and shield, turned to me and performed a "salute".

Last time I didn't dare to look closely, now I plucked up my courage and took a good look at him. It turns out he was Xingtian, one of the guardian deities.

It had double breasts for eyes, and a mouth opening on its belly. But it stood silently before me, its eyes and mouth closed.

My heart skipped a beat, and I furrowed my brow slightly, asking, "You...why are you closing your eyes and saying nothing"

He didn't move, only shifted slightly to the side, his avoidance clear.

" ...Are you afraid of scaring me" I said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, the first time I saw you, I was a bit scared. I'm inexperienced, please don't be angry..."

At that time, I was being held by Jiang Qiyun and covering my face, saying how scary it was. Looking back now, it's so embarrassing!

"I'm sorry." I felt so ashamed. He was the guardian spirit of this place, and I, with my limited knowledge, had called him terrifying.

He finally spoke, his abdomen splitting open to reveal a mouth that rumbled, “No, I startled the little empress. The emperor said that from now on, when he sees the little empress, he should hold back a bit so as not to scare her. You weren't as capable back then, it's perfectly normal to be afraid.”

When he said that, I became even sadder and apologized several times before daring to get to the point: “I heard you can deal with headstrong people. I wanted to ask if you could do me a favor”

"I wouldn't dare." he replied, "My lady needs her subordinate. Just give the order."

"Well... would you mind going with me"

"With the Emperor's seal in hand, Lady Xiao commands. I shall obey her orders." He stated firmly.

I could only ask: "…then how do I summon you"

"I'll just go back with the little mistress, finish my task and come back. As long as the little mistress allows it."

"Um... how about this I have a box, made of peachwood from Mount Dushuo. Could you please go inside and wait for a bit"

"That's even better."

"But... there's a puppet in this box, and the spirit of a fox is temporarily living inside it. Please, don't kill her!"

"Yes."

I let out a breath, he actually agreed so readily, that's great.

Xingtian hid inside the peachwood box. I hurried to find Xiaonie. The maids searched for a long time around the Heavenly Palace and told me they saw animal footprints trampled in a flowerbed, which should be where Xiaonie ran off to.

I followed the flowers and called out, “Little rascal, it’s me! Come out quickly, I’ll take you home. Otherwise, the little ladies from the underworld will pull your ears off…”

After calling out for a while, I found the trembling Xiao Nie in a giant rock landscaping piece on the back mountain.

I was holding back a smile, stroking its ears: "It's fine, it's fine. The two tufts of handsome fur on your ears are still there... Now you know how gentle I am You were fierce with me"

It leaped out of the cave and into my arms, dejectedly saying: "Even in heaven is fine! How can even women from the underworld be like this!"

"Who made you so cute Tsundere is the cutest... little sisters love it the most... You know me, right"

I stroked its head proudly, it nestled sadly in my arms, too dejected to make a peep.ganization.People who practice witchcraft are not very common, they're probably from one of the villages.Jiang Qiyun glanced at me, and I hurriedly said, "I'll just stand here, you go and have a look....
