"Ah?" Li Yunyang turned his head to see Lan Ran Qingtian and said, "I thought I saw Ling Zhu just now, so I wanted to check what was going on."
Upon hearing this, Qingtian quickly grabbed him tightly: "No, I just saw Ling Zhu inside the house. You must have seen it wrong. Hurry back and rest; we need to enter Underground City tomorrow night!"
Saying this, without giving him a chance to respond, he pushed him back into the room, leaving him confused as he returned to bed. "What is going on with these people lately? They are all acting so mysteriously?"
Ling Zhu went out? Qingtian did not hesitate and quickly walked outside. He soon spotted Ling Zhu's figure, swiftly moving through the streets and alleys while occasionally looking back, seemingly afraid of being followed.
Shirley was right; this woman was indeed suspicious. Qingtian noticed she was heading towards the forest in the suburbs, so he cautiously followed her.
Deep in the forest, a figure was waiting there. It was none other than Heart Demon. Hearing sounds behind him, he slowly turned around, his blue pupils flickering slightly: "You have arrived!"
Ling Zhu knelt on one knee and reported softly, "Master, they are preparing to enter Underground City, but there has been a problem."
"Mm? What problem?" He frowned slightly, causing Ling Zhu to lower her head quickly: "It seems that the princess has become suspicious; she has separated from them."
"What?" Heart Demon became furious, his blue pupils rapidly constricting. With a wave of his hand, Ling Zhu instantly fell to the ground, groaning in pain: "Master, spare me! Spare me!"
"Spare you? You worthless fool!" Heart Demon showed no mercy; after venting his anger, he finally stopped: "Get back and keep a close watch. I don't believe the princess won't go to Underground City."
Ling Zhu was tortured to the point of near death; it felt as if her entire body was about to burst. Sweat covered her forehead as she quickly knelt on the ground and repeatedly bowed her head: "Master, please calm your anger; I will return immediately!"
After saying this, just as Ling Zhu prepared to leave, Heart Demon warned her again: "You better remember that your husband's life is in my hands. If you dare play tricks on me, I'll destroy you both!"
Ling Zhu bit her lip and quickly left the forest. After a cold snort from Heart Demon, he waved his hand and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
It was too far away to hear what they were saying, but that small boy seemed to be a troublesome demon. Ling Zhu actually met with a demon late at night; there must be some conspiracy involved.
Hidden nearby and eavesdropping, Lan Ran Qingtian watched Ling Zhu disappear into the night while repeatedly recalling Heart Demon's appearance. Who exactly was this guy?
A few days later...
Xiang Xueer, Lian Cheng Xue, and Platypus had already arrived at the waterfall, waiting for the gates of Underground City to open. They had made plans with Qingtian beforehand; they would enter first, and then Qingtian would follow. She would mark their location so that when Qingtian saw the mark, she could find them.
Lian Cheng Xue looked at Xiang Xueer with some concern. "Isn't it difficult for us to blend in like this? Is it really okay?"
Xiang Xueer took a deep breath. "It has to work. Don't forget, that shapeshifter can transform into anyone. I hope we can pass through safely; if not, we'll have to force our way in!"
Force our way in? Duck looked at her innocently. "Sister, what does it mean to force our way in?"
Just as Xiang Xueer was about to respond, the ground suddenly shook. She looked up at the sky; it seemed the gates of Underground City were about to open. She turned to Lian Cheng Xue and exchanged a glance before quickly walking toward the entrance.
With a splash, the waterfall vanished like a curtain being drawn aside, revealing a rainbow bridge extending toward them. The Red Lacquered Door creaked open, and a man in red and blue pants appeared at the entrance.
The Red-Pants Man stared at Lian Cheng Xue and swaggered toward the gate, one hand pushing Xiang Xueer, whose hands and feet were tightly bound, while he carried a heavily tied-up Platypus on his shoulder.
The two exchanged frowns; when did Underground City have such a character? The Blue Pants Man shouted, "Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Cheng Xue's expression darkened immediately, feeling a bit tense. He quickly took out his token from his waist. "Hey, don't tell me you don't recognize me?"
"Ah?" The Red-Pants Man picked up the token and saw the words 'Clear Sky Change' written on it. He then smiled and patted Lian Cheng Xue's shoulder. "I see, it's you! What happened? Did you turn into a cripple? Your hobbies are getting weirder!"
"Hahaha!" Lian Cheng Xue quickly raised an eyebrow and pointed at Xiang Xueer ahead. "You guys don’t know anything; this woman likes one-armed men because she says they have a sense of hardship. Otherwise, how could she catch one to present to the city lord?"
"So that's how it is!" The Red-Pants Man stared at Duck and poked his plump backside, startling Platypus into flailing around. He laughed and said, "You really know how to please the boss; not only did you bring back a woman but also a Duck!"
Saying this, the Red-Pants Man walked in front of Xiang Xueer and scrutinized her from head to toe for a long time before frowning at her flat chest. "Hey, buddy, why did you bring back a little girl?"
What the hell? Who are you calling a little girl? Xiang Xueer glared fiercely at the Red-Pants Man. If it weren't for acting purposes with her hands and feet bound and her mouth gagged, she would definitely make him regret it rhythmically.
"Wow, this girl is quite fierce!" Startled, he took a step back. Seeing that she was about to explode, Lian Cheng Xue quickly grabbed Xiang Xueer. "Hey, they don’t know; recently the city lord has taken a liking to this kind of thing. Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore; I need to hurry back; the city lord is probably waiting!"
The two people listened and chuckled, "Alright, let's hurry in. The city gate will be open for a while longer."
"Move quickly!" Lian Cheng Xue pretended to be fierce as he pushed Xiang Xueer forward. Once they entered the Underground City and he turned around, no longer seeing the two idiots guarding the gate, he finally sighed in relief, "Oh my gosh, that was close!"
"Yeah, you scared me to death! I thought they were going to eat me!" Platypus said, sweating as he slipped out from the ropes. The two continued talking and walked ahead, completely forgetting about Xiang Xueer behind them.
"You two bastards! Wuwuwu!" Xiang Xueer kicked Lian Cheng Xue in the back. He turned around and realized he had forgotten to untie her, so he hurried over to free her hands.
Finally arriving at the Underground City, the three looked up and were amazed. They had always thought the Underground City would be dark and filled with black fortresses of witches, but what lay before them was a bustling city scene that rivaled even the streets of a big city.
"Wow! Is this really the Underground City?" The three shared a rare moment of surprise, glancing at each other before scanning the crowded streets.
There were restaurants and inns doing business, street vendors selling goods—these were all humans, not those two little ghosts who were tall and short, nor were there any Shapeshifters. What was going on? And it was daylight; looking up, they could even see the sun!
Xiang Xueer and the two found an inn and asked the local Shopkeeper about the Underground City.
It turned out that the Underground City was divided into two parts: one was Sun City, where ordinary people lived, and the other was Moon City, which housed the Black Dragon Saint Lord, his four generals, and their army, including various monsters.
The city was oval-shaped, split in half by a winding trench. One side was shaped like a moon while the other resembled a sun. As for the sun in the sky, no one could explain it clearly; they only knew that this Underground City had both a sun and a moon that alternated. When it was daytime in Sun City, it was nighttime in Moon City.
"Hmph! How amazing!" After hearing what the Shopkeeper said, Xiang Xueer and Lian Cheng Xue were both astonished. The Black Dragon Saint Lord was truly impressive; not only had he built a kingdom for himself but he also managed to create a sun and a moon!
