Gu Liyue rolled her eyes: "I'm not as familiar as Ah Qin."

Ah Qin looked at Gu Liyue. At that moment, she was wearing a black dress and standing in the sea of ​​red spider lilies. Her skin was as white as cream, her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her waist was as slender as a hand. Her posture was free and unrestrained, making him reluctant to take his eyes away.

Gu Liyue noticed that he was looking at her with burning eyes, her expression changed, and she turned around and walked forward quickly.

Ah Qin chuckled and chased after him, saying, "Don't blame me, Ah Yue. I just like looking at beautiful people. There's nothing else to it."

"It looks like Ah Yue is visiting the Netherworld for the first time. How about Ah Qin take you for a tour?"

"I know which shop in the underworld has the best wine and which floor has the prettiest girls. Is Ah Yue interested?"

"If you're not interested, I can take you to a teahouse to listen to stories. The stories in Huaigulou are the best."

Seeing him chattering non-stop and unable to shake him off, Gu Liyue said, "Let's go to Huaigu Tower."

"Okay, okay, okay, come this way."

As he spoke, he pointed a road for Gu Liyue. There were two rows of white lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, illuminating the bluestone slabs on the street with a pale glow. There were also many ghosts floating around in the street.

I didn't encounter any ghosts on the path I just walked on, but now when I see these ghosts floating on the street, I realize why I felt so uneasy just now.

Aqin walks in the same way as himself, with both legs on the ground.

She looked at the other ghosts again and found that they were really floating. She didn't know what they looked like in the eyes of these ghosts.

The two walked onto the street. Gu Liyue injected divine power into her legs, allowing herself to float forward like the ghosts around her. She glanced at Ah Qin out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was also floating.

Ah Qin glanced at Gu Liyue and knew what was going on.

In the Huaigu Tower, a scholar-looking ghost is telling a story on the stage with great emotion. The teahouse is almost full.

Ah Qin brought Gu Liyue upstairs and floated into a private room. The two sat down. Gu Liyue sat by the window, opposite the high platform where the storyteller was.

Anyone who can get this private room must be of extraordinary status. The location is so central that not only can one easily see the storyteller, but also, being close to the window, one can clearly see everything downstairs.

But she saw through it but didn't say anything. She took out a magic stone from the fairyland and threw it to A Qin.

"We each pay our own way."

Ah Qin took the spirit stone and played with it in his hand: "Ayue, you're welcome. I promised to bring you here to listen to the book, so I won't let you spend any money."

Even though he said this, he showed no intention of returning the spirit stone in his hand.

Then Ah Qin said, "Consider this spirit stone a gift to me!"

Gu Liyue said lazily, "It's up to you."

Anyway, I just consider it as the cost of listening to books.

The storyteller on the stage banged the gavel and began a new story.

"Speaking of which, under the governance of the Nether King of the Underworld, everything is in perfect order..."

Gu Liyue listened attentively as the storyteller ghost told some things about the underworld.

The story goes that the Nether King was unhappy that the Heaven Realm had taken away the power to determine the reincarnation destination of the dead. The storyteller used stories to illustrate the harm that the Heaven Realm's transgression had brought to the Nether Realm.

Gu Liyue sighed: It turns out that the storytelling method makes the rumors spread faster and farther.

After hearing this, Ah Qin raised his eyebrows and showed a look of contempt.

This caused Gu Liyue to glance at him: "A Qin seems to disagree with the storyteller's words."

"No, I just feel that the stories in this Nostalgic Tower are not as good as before."

Looking at the hall on the first floor, the ghosts sitting and listening to stories all looked leisurely and relaxed. The underworld was not as the legend said, with no ghosts available.

At this moment, the noise on the street was particularly loud, and the sounds coming over were very noisy. Words like "ran away" and "too many" could be faintly heard.

Ah Qin stood up and walked to the window on the other side, pushed open the window and looked out.

Gu Liyue also walked over curiously to take a look, and saw a group of living souls tied into a team on the street with soul-locking chains. Niu Tou was standing behind the team, holding the soul-locking chain in one hand and looking around.

The horse-faced demon ran forward quickly, as if he was chasing some ghost.

There were some ghosts standing on both sides of the street, watching the team curiously.

After seeing this, Ah Qin frowned and whispered, "Why are they escorting the living souls at this hour? I'm afraid the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons will be punished today."

Gu Liyue interrupted: "Why?"

"Souls that have just entered the Netherworld are not allowed to enter the busy city, and should avoid busy times, as this is more likely to cause trouble. The appearance of such a long group of souls at this time and place today is definitely a sign of trouble."

Gu Liyue looked at Ah Qin and said, "Ah Qin knows so much."

Ah Qin was startled for a moment, then said, "Of course. After all, I'm a frequent visitor to this underworld..."

He turned his head and looked at Gu Liyue intently, and found that her attention was drawn to the window and she seemed not to have heard what he said.

Because at this time the team of living souls became chaotic, and most of them seemed to have no consciousness. As long as the soul-locking chain did not pull them, they would stop and not move.

Among them appeared three ferocious souls. They rose from the ground and caused chaos in the souls next to them. Some of them began to wail, while others were carried away and flew into the air.

Niu Tou waved the soul flag in his hand and muttered something. The three living souls that flew into the air were suppressed. A lot of their soul power was absorbed by the soul flag. They had no strength to struggle anymore and even became translucent visibly to the naked eye.

The surrounding ghosts screamed and ran around in panic, fearing that they would be affected, and fled in all directions. Only Niutou and the team of living souls were left on the street.

Niu Tou breathed a sigh of relief, swung the soul-locking chain, and controlled the living soul to float forward.

After taking two steps, he turned around and looked at Huaigu Tower, his eyes bulging with a bit of doubt.

Gu Liyue intuitively felt that the person who looked at her just now must have seen her.

At this time, a red light appeared at the other end of the street. Ah Qin's face changed when he saw it, and he said to Gu Liyue, "Ayue, I have something to do. Let's meet next time."

He disappeared from the spot in an instant. Gu Liyue watched him disappear and instinctively felt that this Ah Qin's cultivation level was probably not low, which further confirmed her guess.

She suddenly felt that the storyteller's story had lost its appeal, and she disappeared from the spot, teleporting to the place where the red light was emitted.

It was in a small alley beside the main street. Two ghosts in black were kneeling on the ground, reporting something.

Gu Liyue hid on the roof. The concealing ability of the roof was first-class. As long as she didn't want the ghosts to notice her, the ghosts here would not be able to find her.

She saw that the person standing there was none other than Ah Qin. The black-clothed ghost said, "Master, please return to the mansion as soon as possible. Ah Guang can't hold on any longer. Also, someone is coming over there today. Ah Guang hopes you can show up and make a decision."

Ah Qin said indifferently: "I have something else to do and will return as soon as possible. You can go back first."
