“This corpse demon isn’t much older than a few decades. It lived about the same time as I did. In my life, I cultivated for three hundred years and guarded a boundary with my magic. ...Old Mrs. Ma and...The sound, beyond the wind and snow, was ethereal and indistinct, for a moment it was impossible to tell where it came from.

But we have all heard such a faint and ethereal voice, one we are all familiar with.

Ji Du Xingjun slightly frowned, and softly said: “Little Princess Consort, did the Emperor say he would come to greet you”

I shook my head. The Emperor had never mentioned it, and the young mistress hadn't either.

Luo Hu Xingjun narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings, then coldly stated: "He is a celestial being with a divine position, it's impossible for him to act on a whim, he shouldn't be here."

The witch's lips curled up slightly, her gaze drifted past the wind and snow, looking towards the direction of overseas.

Overseas… The wind whips up snow, and ice is creeping across the water’s surface.

I cannot see the Emperor's form, but I can hear his voice.

The witch raised her hand, a tiny light gathering in her palm. She spoke slowly: "We, the Ten Witches of Ling Shan, have transcended the turmoil of the Three Realms. Whether it be the worldly desires that plague humanity, the dazzling beauty of the Nine Heavens, or the chilling desolation of the Nine Nether Hells, they are no longer our concern…"

"You youngsters, with mere three or five thousand years of existence at most, whether born as celestial beings or cultivated in this mortal realm, your experience weathering trials and tribulations is simply insufficient. That's why you are so easily swayed by pointless emotions."

The Emperor replied calmly, “Whether it’s pointless or not, only those in the game know. Bystanders may appear clear-headed, but they can never truly understand another person's feelings. What about you, Divine Shaman Have you not also been tormented by love”

The witch scoffed: "Love This is not the same kind of love. The hearts of young children are insignificant compared to the survival of all creatures in the universe!"

The light in her hand began to condense into a bead-sized sphere. The brilliance was so intense that I turned my head away, unable to look directly at it.

"...I have long since abandoned worldly affairs, so I needed a Shaman King to govern the people. However, the Shaman King is lost abroad, and until now, this place remains under the rule of individual city lords. Ghost City, as the most important Yin extreme, is only guarded by the Mirage Dragon. This position I have held for a thousand years. The previous one, who considered himself superior and looked down on his descendants, thought that by cultivating the Corpse Immortal of Chaotic Yin he could become the King of the Netherworld..."

Is this talking about the old monster So all this commotion was for this so-called King of the Ghost Realm That position sounds awful to me.

"...Your Highness, your expression is quite obvious..." the child whispered. "Don't think that ghosts are just something to be disliked. They are actually an important part of the balance between yin and yang. Otherwise, why do you think the Emperor holds such a high position He is the master of pure Yin, ordinary immortals couldn't possibly occupy this position, they can't even get close, the power and responsibility are immense."

"It's the same here. Only those most trusted by the God Shaman can hold this position. However, the God Shaman needs to cultivate himself and cannot stay in the Yin extreme, so he needs a proxy."

I rolled my eyes. Want Mu Wanchen to be the agent Come on, are you kidding me You think he's responsible With so many people under his command, he hasn't quit once. That's already enough to be worthy of the people.

The witch sat cross-legged in the clouds, and the Emperor only heard her voice but could not see her. The wind and snow seemed to form a vortex, and we stood right in the middle of it.

Ji Du Xingjun pulled the sword from the ground, carrying it on his shoulder. He tilted his head and stretched, looking ready to fight.

The little boy's eyes widened as he hurriedly asked, "Star Jun of the Ji Dou, what do you want to do This is not someone you can just take action against! She... she's an ancient divine shaman! In terms of celestial history, I'm afraid only the Three Pure Ones and Six Great Lords could be considered equals to her..."

Countless Star Monarch scoffed, "So what Although this star monarch yearns for the name of Goddess, I don't want to be confined again and again. The Goddess is now content with the status quo, hiding within her own desolate realm. Where is the legendary aura that can rival heaven and earth Bah..."

This, this... Are you using a reverse psychology tactic

The witch narrowed her eyes, the light in her hand gradually dimming. A bead, slightly larger than a pigeon egg, appeared in her palm, hovering faintly.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

A celestial aura pervades, and the cosmos within is contained.

"Little girl," she suddenly spoke, startling me. Was she calling me

Looking around, there's only me who's a woman here. Does that nine-tailed fox demon even count as a person

"Your spiritual roots are still shallow, how can you nurture the bloodline of my witch clan In the mundane world, there are only a few places with spiritual energy. It's better to stay here and cultivate."

"No, I won't stay in this place if you are going to give Mu Wanchen a woman! It's too hard to change your minds." I shook my head quickly.

She gave a noncommittal smile and spread her fingers.

That pillar shot towards us like a bolt of lightning! King Ji Du Xing reacted incredibly fast, getting ready to draw his sword, but when the pearl reached our faces, it suddenly transformed into white light and scattered.

"Little Yin Luo, by the sea—"

The Emperor's voice cut off abruptly. All around me was blinding white, and I couldn't see anything.

Silence fell for a moment.

When the white light faded, the wind and snow disappeared, and the Emperor's voice was gone.

"Mu Wanchen!" I hurriedly called out.

" ...I'm behind you," he sighed.

I turned around, and he was indeed just a step away. I hurried over and grabbed his arm, hugging him tightly without letting go.

"Where is Lord Star of the Counting Heavens Where is Lord Star of Luo Hu The little boy, the nine-tailed fox, and even the Celestial Emperor… where are they all"

Mu Wanchen shook his head. "I don't know, the white light seemed to only engulf the two of us."

"Are the witches going to keep us here! Ugh—"

Here I still stand by the sea, with mountains and ocean... There's a gentle breeze, it's just that no one else is here.

"What's going on It doesn't seem like we're locked in... This is still the same place as before, where are the others"

"...I don't know." Mu Wanchen shook his head and held out a small stone to me.

"What is this"

"The moment the witch's beads, just thrown a moment ago, turned into white light and scattered, I saw them transform into stones. What mystery lies within I can't figure it out for now..." He frowned, looking at the ordinary stone in his hand.

"What are we going to do now..." I was close to tears. This vast expanse of land and sea, how could we possibly go back It was impossible to leave the children and the two star officials behind.

Moreover, I just heard the voice of the Emperor. Although I didn't see him, I felt like he was here too.

"Master didn't come, he couldn't come." Mu Wanchen shook his head and comforted me: "Don't worry, as long as there is Xuan, there is a way."

"These things that seem nonsensical at first glance can always lead to insights, or sudden realizations, or even opportunities... Don't panic." He reassured her again.

“How could I not be panicked Here, everything feels like it's in the hands of the witch doctor. We can’t move an inch! Just when we thought we could leave, suddenly this happened…”

It feels like all my previous efforts have been for nothing.

Mu Wanchen raised his hand and rubbed my brows: "Don't frown, Xiaoluo, this makes me feel even more indebted... I don't know what the witch wants to do for now, but she didn't separate me from you. I'm already secretly thankful."

I sniffed and gave a wry smile. "Yeah... thankfully you're here. Otherwise, I'd be completely lost out here all by myself."

Mu Wanchen held my hand and comforted me, "The witch must want us to change our minds. It's too windy here. Let's find a sheltered place first and see what happens."

If this is a barrier set by the shaman, it's fine. But if she intends to shackle us, what can we do

The baby in my belly is growing day by day, but I haven't even had a regular prenatal checkup at the hospital. How can this be possible

As darkness descended, I grew increasingly anxious and unable to calm myself.

>he table lunged at me with a sudden burst of speed.With a deafening clang, a burst of light erupted beside me, sending the monster flying back like it had hit bulletproof glass.Really disgusting...I c...
