The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

Lin Zhiyi's performance was particularly striking. Her expression was unusually tense, her hands unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes, her beautiful eyes constantly darting toward the door. Her gaze was eager and anxious, as if she were anticipating someone's return. Her rapidly shifting eyes and slightly trembling lips betrayed her inner uneasiness and restlessness.

Yun Shang, standing nearby, also cast a curious gaze toward the door, wondering what had drawn so much attention. Her lively eyes blinked, trying to find a clue from everyone's expressions and actions.

At the same time, the sky outside the door was a brilliant blue, as clear as a gemstone, cloudless, sunny, and with a gentle breeze. This was undoubtedly an extremely rare and beautiful day, but the people in the house had no intention of appreciating this beautiful view.

Back in the afternoon, when they hurried to the place called Black City, Mr. Jiu suddenly disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. From that moment on, everyone seemed to be under a spell, becoming mysterious and secretive.

Everyone rested briefly in the inn, and a long half-day slipped away. Night gradually fell, and the pitch-black sky, like a vast sheet of black silk, slowly enveloped the entire earth. Just then, the long-lost Mr. Jiu finally reappeared. His figure was a little blurry in the dim moonlight, but a powerful aura could still be felt emanating from him.

He had already changed into a whole set of brand new clothes. The clothes were of fine texture and well-tailored. He also wore a thick black cloak on the outside, which wrapped his whole body tightly. He not only looked extraordinarily neat, but also looked very warm.

However, Yun Shang was in stark contrast to him. She was still wearing the same tattered coarse cloth clothes, so thin that they could barely keep out the cold night. She didn't even have a piece of thicker clothing.

It was late at night, and the temperature in Black City was dropping further and further. The biting cold wind howled like a pack of ferocious beasts. Perhaps because the mission was about to be completed, Mr. Jiu no longer had any interest in continuing to deal with Yun Shang.

Therefore, when Yun Shang pitifully asked him to add a piece of clothing to keep out the cold, he ruthlessly chose to ignore the request, as if the preferential treatment he had given Yun Shang on the road had never happened. The difference in attitude before and after was so obvious that it made people feel cold.

Yun Shang was not unbearably cold, she just wanted to test Mr. Jiu's attitude.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the Black City, Mr. Jiu's attitude towards her took a sharp turn for the worse, which meant that once the mission was completed, they would most likely not let her live.

Yun Shang's heart gradually became heavy. She began to think, when should she call the special forces soldiers who were secretly protecting her to come out and rescue her?

Mr. Jiu brought Yun Shang and slowly headed towards the northern suburbs of Black City in the night.

Their destination was a canyon that few people visited.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the canyon. There was no one to help her, and Yun Shang didn't care. She jumped down from the carriage by holding the railing.

However, the ground was littered with gravel of all sizes, and when Yun Shang jumped, she stepped on a stone and sprained her ankle.

She cried out in pain and sat on the ground. Mr. Jiu just glanced at her sideways and didn't ask anyone to help her. Instead, he urged her, "Empress, I advise you not to play any more tricks. Just sprain your ankle. You won't feel any pain soon anyway."

Yun Shang was suddenly shocked. They really wanted to kill her!

She looked up at the canyon in front of her. The canyon was a typical narrow-cut canyon, as if a mountain had been split in half with an axe. The walls on both sides of the canyon were smooth and steep.

The canyon was now surrounded by people, both men and women, all standing at the mouth of the canyon, looking at the entrance, as if waiting for something.

The sky was full of shining stars. Yun Shang looked along the entrance of the canyon and could see many very bright stars from the sky above.

Yun Shang couldn't help but wonder, are they waiting for the stars?

Or does it mean that among the stars seen from this line of sky are their planets?

As I was thinking, suddenly, a few stars began to twinkle, and they began to move visibly.

Mr. Jiu looked excited, "Let's begin!"

Yun Shang was also greatly shocked. The stars were moving and rearranging themselves, as if they were about to form a line.

Combining this with the legends she had heard before, Yun Shang was surprised. Could it be the Nine Stars in a Conjunction?

Just as the nine stars were about to form a straight line, Mr. Jiu suddenly said, "Take Yunshang to the canyon."

Then, someone immediately approached Yun Shang and wanted to take her into the canyon.

Lin Zhiyi was agitated. She looked at Yun Shang, who was unable to break free and was forced to enter the canyon. Her eyes were filled with madness. "Yun Shang, you have to thank us. We will send you back to where you belong right now."

"This body of yours will be mine from now on. Your husband and your children will all be mine from now on, hahahaha."

Yun Shang suddenly understood something. She turned to look at Mr. Jiu and asked, "Will the nine planets align to open a time tunnel?"

"Then why do you want to send me back?"

As the faint blue light gradually became clearer at the entrance of the canyon, the tension on Mr. Jiu's face gradually relaxed. He smiled slightly, "Now that things have come to this, it's not impossible to let you go with a clear mind."

"The space-time tunnel was originally open. We opened it to transfer a large number of humans from our planet here."

"Our planet, 073, is about to collapse and is no longer suitable for human habitation. For this reason, we have been searching for a new planet suitable for habitation."

"Ten years ago, we discovered this planet, so we spent a lot of time opening the space-time tunnel and even conducted some experiments to ensure the stability of the tunnel."

"The reason you, the later generations, were able to travel here is the result of our experiment. Only after we saw that you had successfully traveled through, not been torn apart by the tunnel's distorted space-time storm, and were able to live a stable life in Yu Country, did 073 officially begin landing here."

"In order to better welcome the leader of Planet 073 and a large number of humans, the Third Legion I lead has arrived in Yu Country as the advance force."

"Originally, we thought we could coexist peacefully with the Yu people and spare their lives, but they are too stubborn, so we have to change our minds now."
