The Protective Deity of 1336

s devouring him. Lord Bai Wu Chang then seized his soul and sent it to the underworld.""Where's the body What happened to it" I pressed.Land God tilted his head and said, "According to common sense, c...Once, a ferocious beast, the owl ghoulish , suddenly broke through the boundary and swallowed the little messenger whole. This left me with a psychological shadow of fear towards beasts.

This time again in the midst of chaos, I saw Bai Wuchang being attacked by a ferocious beast, causing his chains to knock away the Ghost Emperor's sword... Thinking about Bai Wuchang's such arrogant personality, he should be very...

Angry.

This is the halfway pavilion of Xuwu Mountain, and it's also a place of work for the underworld. Inside the pavilion, there are floating curtains and simple desks and chairs.

The ghostly attendants on either side seemed to sense the heavy atmosphere and shuffled back, bowing their heads to make way.

Bai Wu Chang was hanging in the pavilion, and when he heard my voice, he turned his head and squinted at me with a smile.

"Little Empress, it's so good to see you safe and sound~~~"

"I'm fine, it's you, Qijie. Your hand..."

Bai Wu Chang raised an eyebrow, his sinister eyes holding a hint of amusement: "My hand It's quite good, hehe."

He raised that hand, covering his mouth with his sleeve and smiled.

"Hmm..." I felt a little more at ease, but didn't know how to bring up Jiang Qiyun.

The Ghost Emperor Yu Lei spoke with a solemn and careful demeanor. I don't know if Jiang Qiyun had done something shocking again, I was a little... afraid to ask.

Bai Wu Chang raised a hand and beckoned to me, his voice low: "Little Lady, come over here..."

I walked over and stood beside him, leaning forward to look ahead.

A cold wind howled, rustling the pavilion curtain and the white robes of the White Immortal. He narrowed his eyes, gazing beyond Wuxi Mountain, then raised a slender finger to indicate the direction for me.

I remember the original sky of Xugu Mountain was filled with somber and gloomy clouds, black clouds like cotton, piled on top of each other. Just looking at the sky gave a feeling of oppression that was depressing and hopeless.

At that moment, where the mountain met the sky, there was a cluster of red clouds.

As if a fire burned in the sky, scorching it and seeming to burn a hole through, illuminating the surrounding clouds with a faint flicker of lightning.

“There, there was once a dark and cramped fissure. Because the Void Origin itself is the Yin extreme of the Underworld, it naturally connects with the demon realm. Occasionally, small demons would fall from the fissures, devouring each other with the evil ghosts of Xuwei Mountain…” Bai Wu Chang said softly.

In my mind, an X-shaped structure appeared. Yang Qi returns to the heavens, while the unity of gods and demons occupies both sides of the top of the X.

And the human world and the underworld are two sides of yin and yang, right below.

But only the human world is the place where Yin and Yang Qi are nurtured, with a large population and many energy fields, it will inevitably attract immortals, demons, ghosts.

I drew on the railing of the gazebo, Bai Wuchang lowered his eyes to look at my imaginary picture, and chuckled, covering his mouth: "…… This understanding is quite interesting, although it's not entirely accurate, it has a few points. Hee hee ~~ Little Empress, you have improved..."

"Seven...you know I'm not the brightest, so please don't laugh at me. Just get to the point, okay"

Bai Wu Chang raised his hand. His hand was large, thin, and his fingertips were slender.

He gently placed his hand on my head, and a chill ran down from the top of my head to my toes.

"Hee hee... Little Empress, these days, I've been watching you step by step, clawing your way up and accumulating cultivation bit by bit. But ah~~ The Emperor is too protective of you. Your growth speed is still too slow..." He narrowed his eyes and bent over to smile at me.

This action, perhaps in the eyes of other underlings, might be considered somewhat presumptuous.

But those shady officials and minions were a little afraid of Bai Wuchang, they glanced at each other nervously and didn't dare to speak up and persuade him.

I'm also afraid of him.

He always seemed to see right through me, and I couldn't figure out if he genuinely liked talking to me or if he was playfully teasing me.

Even, I couldn't tell if he was smiling or angry.

"Seventh Master, if you want to teach me a lesson, just say it... like this, I truly can't guess your intentions..." I said, shrinking my neck.

Bai Wuchang grinned, straightened up, and casually tousled my hair. "You've done very well," he said with a smile. "Managing to escape with all your limbs intact… If you had been any slower, perhaps... I would have continued opening the passage."

"What does that mean" I looked up at the burning inferno in the sky. "Did you do that"

Bai Wuchang shook his sleeves, a nonchalant expression on his face: "How is that possible~~ That was opened by the Emperor. The moment you were dragged into the spatial crack, the Emperor returned here, and this place... is the passage from the Underworld to the Demon Realm - he's going to the Demon Realm."

I opened my mouth, not knowing what expression to make.

"Alas~~ The Heavenly Emperor decreed that immortals and demons must not cross the boundary, lest chaos engulf both realms. Therefore, those who fall to the demonic path cannot return... Especially a divine being with such an important duty."

“But you were taken away by the Northern Dark Emperor of the Demon Realm, Your Majesty immediately prepared to go to the Demon Realm to rescue you, and was about to open a passage here — you have to know, this is the Underworld. If a passage is opened, demons will invade, and the consequences will be unimaginable...”

"Hee hee...seeing the Emperor disappear, I guessed what he was thinking, so I followed him and stopped him...otherwise, Mount Xuwei would have been burned red."

I was speechless and could only shake my head, "I... I wasn't pulled into the demon realm. I was trapped in a crevice and escaped using this Kong Ming lock. Please inform the Emperor quickly, I'm fine—"

Bai Wuchang raised a finger to silence her, and said with a sly smile: "Your appearance in the underworld, Your Majesty, should have been sensed by the Emperor. There is no need for special notification... Moreover, he was immediately summoned back to the Upper Realm by the Jade Emperor, so he won't be back for a while."

"Will he get punished!" I was frantic.

"Punishment Ah... Looking at how well I know the Purple Micro Emperor, hmm...tsk tsk..."

"Seventh Lord, please tell me quickly!" I was so flustered that my legs were weak.

"That must have been ~~really hard~~..."

Hardly!

I was clutching the railing, feeling a bit dizzy and panicked.

"I'll give him a good scolding." Bai Wu Chang shrugged.

What

"Accuse" I thought I misheard.

"Or what The Jade Emperor sent his celestial generals to bring him back to the Purple Forbidden Palace so quickly, isn't it just to protect him Otherwise, wait until the Jade Emperor sends his divine generals to inquire about his crime" Bai Wuchang chuckled: "Little Empress, you turned pale, that's really entertaining~~~"

I... I'm going...

I collapsed onto the seat in the gazebo and patted my chest, saying, “Seventh Master, if you weren't so fond of tormenting people, you might have more admirers…”

"Huh What's a 'fan girl'" he asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.

"I'm about to faint from anxiety, trying so hard to keep myself calm... and you deliberately scared me!" I wiped the cold sweat off my brow.

"Hee hee hee… I just love seeing you trying so hard to hide your feelings, but failing miserably. Hee hee hee…"

I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart. Bai Wu Chang laughed a few times then lifted his eyes to gaze at the flames of the karmic fire cloud that still burned brightly.

He spoke slowly: "Actually, if I hadn't sensed you falling into Duskshadow Mountain, I would have found a way to continue opening the passage…"

“Since you’ve already stopped the Emperor, why are you still doing something so dangerous” I asked, confused.

Bai Wu Chang narrowed his eyes and flashed me a smile: "The Jade Emperor's mood... I can understand."

I was speechless, and a sudden sourness filled my heart.

When you spend time with someone, even if you get tired of them, it becomes a habit. What's more, after a thousand years together, it would become even harder to break free from that familiarity.

——That Lady of Unchanging Nature, I wonder if you've ever seen the back of the Seventh Master Do you feel a tinge of regret for returning to the cycle of reincarnation

I was too heartbroken to speak, both because of Jiang Qiyun's neglect and the mysterious and inexplicable nature of Bai Wu Chang.

A boisterous voice rang out from afar: "Little Madam—!!" be used again..."I dashed down from the watchtower, following him toward the spring.“My dear little princess, the elders are old and their thinking isn't as agile as young people. You don't need to a...
