Even hybrid monsters have their day

“That…that King Yama…I saw that he is very different from you…” Geng Miaowan softly voiced the question in her heart.

"Have you ever met Yama, the King of Hell?"

She nodded, and said, half-jokingly, "I ran into you in the hallway that day."

Hearing this, Jin Mo smiled and said, "Yan Jun... he just likes the retro style."

Geng Miaowan thought about what she had seen in the Yama Palace that day. The entire Yama Palace was in an ancient mode. If this was considered "only" in this context, then she could hardly imagine what it was like.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the gate, got into the car, and Xiaobai remained nestled in her arms.

After settling in, the car started moving on its own. Geng Miaowan felt that even if she saw it a few more times, it wouldn't erase the awe she felt towards this kind of car.

Because of the previous conversation, and because Jin Mo was quite amiable, she gradually became bolder. Hearing him say this, a blush appeared on her face, and she said, "When I first arrived, I was quite startled. I thought this was the underworld of the future."

Jin Mo shrugged. "As for this, I can only say that the Underworld is a special existence among the Six Realms, and there is no concept of past or future."

Geng Miaowan wasn't particularly interested in anything outside the human realm these days, so she didn't dwell on the topic. She looked at Le Mo and asked, "Then... are you all ghosts?"

Jin Mo laughed heartily, "There are many misconceptions about the underworld in the human world. In fact, in the underworld, there are only a lot of ghost messengers working in the Yama's Palace. The other palaces are basically filled with living beings."

So that's how it is. She finally had a general idea of ​​what the Underworld was like. But none of this mattered to her. Tomorrow she could go to the human world she wanted to go to, and then she would find a place she liked and live a quiet life. If she got tired of staying in one place, she would move on to another and experience different lives. Thinking of this, she felt that the gray sky above the Underworld, which was always shrouded in clouds and mist, had become brighter.

In the car, Geng Miaowan asked some more questions she wanted to know, and Jin Mo answered them one by one.

It turns out that there exists a department in the underworld similar to a police station in the human world. However, unlike a police station, which arrests people, the underworld arrests everything else. In the underworld, they are called guardians.

The Guardians are a strange group of cultivators, including immortal cultivators, demon cultivators, monster cultivators, and even ghost cultivators. Generally, ghost cultivators have pale blue skin, but Jin Mo is a demon cultivator, and his skin color is due to a strange poison he contracted during his last mission. Although the poison has been cured, it's said that his skin color will take some time to return to normal.

He was the captain of a team among the Guardians. Mu Yuebin, whom she had met that day, and the three from the human realm last time, were also members of the Guardians. In Geng Miaowan's view, although the name Guardians sounded a bit rustic, the responsibilities they bore were not to be underestimated.

However, Lemo didn't mention a word about their mission tomorrow, and she didn't ask any further questions, because it wasn't her concern. Right now, all she needed to do was get a good night's sleep, and then she could return to her beloved human world tomorrow.

Soon, the two arrived at Lemo's residence.

The house's design is similar to that of the demon realm, but unlike the square houses of the human realm, it's more like a semi-circular lid placed on the ground.

Okay, Geng Miaowan admitted her description was a bit crude, but it was quite apt. The house didn't look very big from the outside, but once inside, it was surprisingly spacious, far larger than it appeared from the outside. She wondered how expensive real estate was in the underworld; if this size were compared to real estate prices in the human world, it would probably be an astronomical figure.

After settling her in, Jin Mo held a video conference with her teammates who would be traveling with her the next day to make further arrangements for the operation.

Geng Miaowan exchanged a glance with the little white dog in the room. Having passed the initial excitement, she began to scrutinize it. Since it appeared beside her, she hadn't really looked at it closely, and had no idea where the little creature had come from.

"Are you from the underworld? I'm going to the human world tomorrow, what will you do?" she said to the little white dog with some difficulty, even though she knew it couldn't understand what she was saying.

"Woof..." The little white dog stared at her with its wet eyes for a while, then whimpered and snuggled into her arms, making her giggle.

She stroked the little white dog nestled in her arms and said, "Do you want to come with me?"

The little white dog seemed to understand her words, looking up at her and wagging its tail vigorously.

“That’s fine. I’ll be all alone in the human world. It’ll be good to have you for company. Let me give you a name,” she thought for a moment, then continued, “How about I call you Little White?”

The little white dog whimpered and its ears drooped. Geng Miaowan rubbed its fur. "What, you don't like it? I think it's great. It sounds nice, it's easy to bark, and it's easy to remember."

And so, Geng Miaowan casually decided on the name of this little creature of unknown origin.

After saying that, she kissed Little White's head, placed it on the bedside table, and lay down. Tomorrow she was going to the human world, and she hoped she could be in the best possible condition to welcome her new life—well, her new life as a demon…

The next day, when Geng Miaowan arrived at the Ten Palaces headquarters with Jin Mo, the other team members were already waiting. There were five people in total, including Geng Miaowan: Le Mo, Mu Yuebin, Bu Luoyuan, and Heng Yihao. Coincidentally, she knew all of them.

When Mu Yuebin saw Geng Miaowan, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Bu Luoyuan and Heng Yihao couldn't help but groan when they saw her, "No way, it's her again..."

Although Jiao Lingfeng didn't require Le Mo and the others to keep Geng Miaowan's strange identity a secret, Jin Mo, having worked for him for hundreds of years, understood Jiao Lingfeng's ways and didn't mention her special background to anyone. Therefore, Bu Luoyuan and Heng Yihao were unaware that Geng Miaowan wasn't a guardian.

Seeing their expressions, Jin Mo guessed that Geng Miaowan had left a deep impression on them during their last mission. He explained, "She just happened to come with us to the human realm." After saying that, he went to Ling Jiaofeng's office to report.
