"You're a bad person, pulling my clothes!"
Li Xiaonan took two steps back, thinking to himself: This girl's doll-like voice is terrifying; it gives me goosebumps.
"I... I didn't mean to..." Li Xiaonan secretly glanced up, then quickly lowered his head again.
"Hmph! Someone, tie him up and throw him into the Dungeon!"
"Ah?" Before Li Xiaonan could react, he was already being dragged into the dark, damp dungeon by the Ghost Soldiers.
He smiled wryly at the chains on his hands, thinking: They really underestimate me; do they think this kind of thing can hold me?
As Li Xiaonan was about to break free from the iron chains, a cute girl holding a tattered Skeleton Doll approached the iron door.
"Hey! What's your name?"
Li Xiaonan was startled, clearly frightened by the sudden doll-like voice. "I am Li Xiaonan. Little girl, let me go first; I need to find my mother."
"Who are you calling little girl? I'm five hundred years old! My name is Lu Nishang. I have a few questions for you. If you answer them obediently, I'll let you go." Lu Nishang smiled as she stroked the Skeleton Doll in her hands.
Li Xiaonan looked disdainfully at the doll Lu Nishang was holding and nodded.
"What exactly is a mother?"
"Well... that starts with the origin of humanity... Actually, humans evolved from the combination of sperm and egg..." Li Xiaonan began to explain Earth's sex education concepts, not caring whether this five-hundred-year-old Loli could understand.
Lu Nishang blinked in confusion and asked, "Was I born that way too?"
"Of course! Otherwise, do you think you popped out of a rock? That's Sun Wukong..." Li Xiaonan immediately shut his mouth, thinking: Didn't hear that... didn't hear that...
Lu Nishang opened her big eyes and asked, "Who is Sun Wukong?"
Li Xiaonan sighed. He had already experienced Lu Nishang's curiosity and was unsure whether to call her naive or just a little clueless.
With no other choice, he began to tell a story. Lu Nishang sat on the ground, hugging her doll, listening intently. One spoke while the other listened, and before they knew it, three days had passed.
"Grandma, I have no more stories to tell! Let me out!" Li Xiaonan shook the iron bars vigorously, the chains clinking loudly. He was exhausted from Lu Nishang's relentless questioning, feeling dizzy and disoriented. If it weren't for her cute appearance, he would have already broken out of the prison to find his mother.
"Alright, I can let you out, but first you have to meet my master. Everything in the Underworld is decided by my master, but you don't need to worry; my master listens to me!" Lu Nishang smiled as she opened the prison door and removed the chains from Li Xiaonan's hands.
Li Xiaonan took a closer look at the doll in Lu Nishang's hands, which was honestly quite ugly. Seeing him scrutinizing it, Lu Nishang laughed and said, "Isn't my doll beautiful? I can lend it to you, but it's just a loan; you have to return it."
Li Xiaonan felt a dark cloud hovering over his head. How could this little girl have such terrible taste? Looking at her long black robe that concealed her figure completely, he chuckled and said, "I'll make you an even prettier doll in the future."
"Really?" After days of stories, Lu Nishang had gradually warmed up to Li Xiaonan. Hearing about another doll made her feel even fonder of him.
Li Xiaonan smiled and replied, "Of course! Do you prefer soft ones or hard ones?" He thought of plush toys; girls usually liked soft things. However, glancing at the skeleton in Lu Nishang's hands made him uncertain about her preferences, so he decided to ask.
"I like hard ones. Soft ones are floppy and can't stand up; they're not fun."
Li Xiaonan nodded gloomily. His jumping thoughts clearly reminded him of his little brother. Hard ones were fun—his face turned red as he cleared his throat and quickly followed Lu Nishang.
"Master? Hmm? Where did he go?"
Li Xiaonan gazed at the grand palace with its dominant black and gold color scheme. There was a velvet chair high up, and he blinked in confusion. "Lu Nishang, your master is..."
"The Demon Emperor!" Lu Nishang answered naturally.
Li Xiaonan cursed himself for being foolish; he should have realized that in the Underworld, everything revolved around the Demon Emperor. Thankfully, he hadn't offended this little girl; otherwise, not only would he struggle to find his mother, but his life would also be at risk.
Lu Nishang pulled out a parchment map and tossed two small stones onto it. Talking to herself, she said, "The border of Luori City? Could it be that those demons are coming again? Hmm, my master must be bored and playing with Little Demon. Brother Xiaonan, I'm going to find my master. Are you coming?"
"Go! Of course, let's go!" The Demon Emperor exclaimed. It was a rare opportunity to get close; if he could build a good relationship, how could he not find his mother's soul? He nodded vigorously and stepped on the Carefree Fan, following Lu Nishang as they dashed out.
Lu Nishang seemed to be using some kind of magical artifact, her entire body enveloped in swirling black mist. Li Xiaonan followed closely behind, shaking his head repeatedly; it seemed that no matter where they were, the flaw in flying speed remained the same.
"Lu Ni Chang, you point the way, and I'll take you flying. How does that sound?"
The black mist receded slightly, revealing Lu Nishang's adorable little head. "Sure! Over there!"
Li Xiaonan stood on the Carefree Fan equipped with the Jade Dragonfly, wrapping one arm around Lu Nishang's waist. The speed was absolutely impressive!
He was focused on their journey and didn't notice that the Loli in his arms was blushing fiercely, looking quite lovely.
"We're... here."
"Oh." Li Xiaonan set Lu Nishang down and began to observe Ghost City.
The city was still the familiar town he knew, with people moving about and vendors selling their wares. However, the dark clouds hovering ominously above the city created a heavy atmosphere.
"Master is over there!"
Li Xiaonan followed Lu Nishang's delicate finger but saw nothing but a sea of darkness; it was impossible to distinguish anyone.
"Brother Xiaonan, let's go down."
"Okay." Li Xiaonan nodded and wrapped his arm around Lu Nishang's waist again. He had to admit that this little girl had a slender waist; his hand fit perfectly around it, but unfortunately, her black robe was quite unflattering.
Following Lu Nishang's guidance, Li Xiaonan flew into the crowd of ghosts and finally caught sight of the legendary King of Hell.
What are morals for? To be destroyed! What are rules for? To be broken! What is common sense for? To be defied!
On Earth, images of the King of Hell depicted him with a black face, rugged beard, and fiery red hair—intimidating without needing to raise his voice.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor of the Phantom Star Continent had skin as pale and smooth as jade, with enchanting eyes and lightly upturned pink lips, his appearance even more handsome than that of Scholar Principal Duan Yu.
"Master!" Lu Nishang nestled in Li Xiaonan's arms, smiling as she waved her little hand at the Demon Emperor.
Li Xiaonan instantly felt a chill run down his spine. The Demon Emperor smiled and nodded at him, but he had the strange impression that just a moment ago, the Demon Emperor had shot him a fierce glare filled with hostility and murderous intent.
He tightened his grip around Lu Nishang's waist for a moment before immediately letting her go.
"Lu Ni Chang, how did you get over here?" The Demon Emperor reached out and pulled the rushing Lu Nishang into his embrace, smiling as he clearly set Li Xiaonan aside.
Pedophilia! This unseemly term popped into Li Xiaonan's mind.
"Master, is it true that the demon clan is causing trouble again?" Lu Nishang climbed onto the Demon Emperor's back, grinning as she asked.
"Yes, they want to come and steal resources again. Master will catch a couple of Little Demons for you to play with, okay?" The Demon Emperor reached behind him and patted Lu Nishang's bottom, making Li Xiaonan inwardly mutter another word: pervert.
"Great!"
The Demon Emperor smiled and flew toward the group gathered at the back gate. With a flick of his fingers, he effortlessly dismantled a portion of the Demon Army.
Li Xiaonan was stunned; this was true power. He silently observed the demon clan that Lu Nishang had mentioned—dark-skinned and fierce-looking, they resembled ghosts even more than actual ghosts. Their overall appearance barely fell within the realm of humanity, which Li Xiaonan could still accept.
"Ah! It's the Demon Emperor! Run!"
A gap suddenly opened in the sky, and the remaining Demon Army surged frantically toward it. Those demons who entered late naturally became souls under the command of the Demon Emperor.
Lu Nishang held onto a long rope tied to a series of demons behind her. Judging by their armor, some were even of commanding rank, yet now they could only be dragged along like candied hawthorns by Lu Nishang.
"Brother Xiaonan, do you want a Little Demon? I can give you one to play with!" A sweet and childish voice offered this suggestion, sending chills down Li Xiaonan's spine. No wonder her taste was so poor; it turned out she had been corrupted by that Demon Emperor.
Li Xiaonan twitched his mouth and forced out a smile. "No thanks, you can keep playing!"
Lu Nishang nodded, taking out a stack of white paper and scattering it into the air. She emitted a strange, muffled melody, and in an instant, all the magic vanished. The papers fell back into her hands in perfect order.
"Let's go!" The Demon Emperor cast a cold glance at Li Xiaonan. With a wave of his hand, Li Xiaonan felt a blur before his eyes, and when he regained focus, he found himself no longer outside the city of Luori but inside the Demon Emperor's Palace.
"Lu Nishang, you just recovered the Little Demon dolls. Hurry back to Azure Mist Palace and refine them properly," the Demon Emperor said as he slowly ascended to the throne on the steps.
"Oh, then I’ll go now, Master." Before leaving, Lu Nishang turned back to Li Xiaonan and flashed him a sweet smile.
Li Xiaonan smiled faintly, feeling the atmosphere around the high-and-mighty Demon Emperor grow increasingly cold and dark. It was clear that he was trying to dismiss Lu Nishang. Sighing, Li Xiaonan racked his brain and finally devised a plan to cope with the situation.
"Who are you? A mere Cultivator, how dare you come to my Underworld?" The Demon Emperor saw through Li Xiaonan's identity at a glance. With Lu Nishang gone, he no longer needed to maintain a facade of warmth and friendliness.
Li Xiaonan sighed inwardly. Who said only women could turn hostile faster than flipping a page? The Demon Emperor was much quicker; just moments ago he had been smiling at Lu Nishang, and now… well, who told me I wasn't a loli?
"In response to the esteemed Demon Emperor, I am Li Xiaonan. I was fortunate enough to obtain Tian Yu Dao Ren's Ghost Realm Monument, which allowed me to come to this esteemed place," Li Xiaonan replied with a bow.
"Oh? Then why didn't that brat come personally? Do you have what I asked for?" The Demon Emperor leaned against his throne, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest.
Li Xiaonan kept his head lowered and squinted slightly. So that’s how it is; no wonder Tian Yu Dao Ren had the Ghost Realm Monument—he must have some unspeakable dealings with this Demon Emperor. It wouldn’t be anything scandalous like being a pedophile or having a secret affair, would it?
