The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord

"When should we set off for the capital?" Emperor Xin's tone revealed a hint of urgency, as if he was full of anticipation and anxiety about this trip.

"Are you so anxious?" Ying Ni poured a glass of red wine slowly and leisurely, seemingly not caring about Emperor Xin's anxiety. She picked up the glass gracefully and shook it gently, as if admiring the color of the red wine in the glass.

Emperor Xin gazed at Ying Ni, who lay lazily in the rocking chair, her slender fingers gently stroking his forehead. He thought to himself that if he could turn back time, he would never have embarked on this little girl's scheming. However, he could only blame himself for only seeing her cultivation and not realizing her unfathomable scheming.

Ying Ni ignored Emperor Xin's expression, lost in the tranquility of the night. She seemed completely absorbed in her own world, oblivious to the outside world. It was a joke. She had been busy dealing with Emperor Xin's affairs for months, and now that everything was ready, she could finally steal a moment of leisure to enjoy the tranquility of the moonlit sky and the twinkling stars. In this quiet night, she seemed to be able to temporarily forget all her worries and stresses, leaving only peace and contentment in her heart. "The gates of hell are about to open." As Emperor Xin's patience was about to run out, Ying Ni whispered these words, a subtle tremor in her voice. Her eyes flickered with a complex light, as if recalling some deep secret.

"Ghost Gate?" Emperor Xin frowned, full of doubt. What was his connection with this so-called Ghost Gate? This question lingered in his mind, making him feel inexplicably uneasy.

Ying Xuan sighed softly, gazing toward the East China Sea, as if she could peer through the waves into another world. Upon her return, she sensed that the balance of this world was gradually unseating, as if an invisible force was surging in the dark, attempting to break the boundary between yin and yang.

"I almost forgot that when the Queen Mother Hou Tu attained enlightenment, she transformed herself into Tao and created the underworld." Ying Ni's voice was low and full of awe. "And the Ghost Gate refers to the gateway from the world of the living to the world of the dead." Her words carried an ancient heaviness, as if she was telling a legend forgotten by the world.

If China had not become stronger and more prosperous after its founding, suppressing the evil spirits in the dark, the world might have fallen into chaos long ago.

Ying Ni recalled the item she had taken out from the safe left by her father not long ago. It was an ancient jade pendant engraved with mysterious runes.

She seemed to comprehend the origin of the thread within her: a millennia-long karmic connection between the Winner and this world. As the Winner's sole living descendant, she naturally inherited this heavy bond. Like an invisible thread, this bond tightly bound her to the fate of this world, forcing her to confront secrets lost to history.

"In the next few days, I plan to relax and fully prepare for the upcoming physical body shaping process. This process will consume a lot of my energy and mental strength, so I need to conserve my energy and ensure that I am in the best condition. In addition, some of the items I ordered previously are expected to be delivered in the next few days, which will provide me with the necessary support and assistance."

After saying this, Ying Ni gently put down the empty red wine glass in her hand, slowly stood up, and walked towards the bedroom with graceful steps. Di Xin remained alone, watching her back gradually disappear from his sight, his heart filled with anticipation and concern.

Di Xin followed Ying Huan's steps closely within the pendant as they exited the airport together. Within the pendant, he keenly sensed the rich aura of national destiny. If it weren't for the numerous powerful formations enshrined on the pendant's exterior, even his imbued with the destiny of humanity would have been suppressed to only 30% of his strength. Ying Huan hailed a taxi, and during the ride, she watched videos on her phone and read a few novels. Lately, she'd been particularly drawn to novels about women who independently buy homes and become landlady owners. The thought of herself becoming a landlady brightened Ying Huan's mood.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" pulled Ying Ni's attention back to reality from the mobile phone screen.

She raised her head, her eyes full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking the driver: "What happened up ahead?" There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her voice.

"I'm not sure. Let me ask the person in front." The driver replied with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Hey, friends up front, does anyone know what happened?" The driver leaned out and asked loudly to the people around him, hoping to get some clues.

The crowd around them also began to stir, with people constantly leaning out of the car windows. At this moment, the Chinese people's deep-seated instinct to "eat melons" was instantly aroused. Their eyes flashed with excitement and curiosity, as if they were looking forward to a good show.

"It seems there's been a car accident!" someone who witnessed the situation shouted, with a hint of fear and tension in their voice. The news spread quickly among the crowd, and everyone began to talk about it, trying to find out more details.

Upon learning of the situation, Ying Lie calmly exited the car. Amidst the chatter of the surrounding crowd, she appeared remarkably composed. The accident was apparently caused by a utility pole snapping and collapsing, crushing a group of vehicles and triggering a chain reaction. However, Ying Lie was no ordinary person, and her eyes were also extraordinary. During her time in the immortal realm, she was framed and fell into a demonic lair, where the demonic energy blinded her. During that time, she was forced to rely on her spiritual sense to perceive the world. It wasn't until an expedition into a secret realm that she stood out among the many geniuses, gaining double pupils. This led to her being hunted by greedy individuals.

Her double pupils granted her extraordinary vision, allowing her to discern the true nature of all things. Thus, when she stepped out of the car and faced the chaotic scene of the accident, her eyes saw more than just the surface destruction and chaos; they also discerned details that ordinary people could not perceive. She saw the traces of evil spirits lingering on the broken utility poles and the souls trapped beneath the car, struggling in agony. None of this escaped her double pupils.

The corners of Ying Ni's mouth rose slightly. She knew that the car accident was not accidental, but someone had done it on purpose.
