After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.

This time, Lu Boqing didn't use teleportation, but instead quickly led Ling Yue to another street.

It was only then that Ling Yue noticed that at the end of this wide street was a very tall building, surrounded by mist, like a house built in the air.

This reminded Ling Yue of the anime she had seen before—The Moving Castle, only this time the castle was a Chinese-style building.

"Lu Boqing, am I dreaming? Since arriving at the Underworld, I thought the Underworld was pretty much the same as our mortal world, maybe just with a bit more advanced technology. But what is this? It's a bit fantastical, isn't it?"

Lu Boqing seemed to be focused on walking and didn't want to say much, but seeing Ling Yue's dazed look, he was worried that she might bump into that person again when they arrived at their destination.

I couldn't help but remind you, "No matter what you see or hear later, try to keep quiet. If anything goes wrong, I can't protect you."

Hearing Lu Boqing say this, Ling Yue became even more curious. Even Lu Boqing couldn't protect her?

What kind of being would that be?

She came here to reason with the person in charge; what outrageous thing could she possibly do?

Make a big deal out of a molehill.

She simply nodded to Lu Boqing and quickened her pace to catch up with him.

Ling Yue walked all the way to the "sky building" and then realized that there wasn't a single ghost in the entire street. It was spotless and there wasn't a trace of ghostly energy.

What kind of person lives here?

I'm becoming more and more curious.

This Chinese-style building gives people a very majestic feeling. From a distance, it looks like it is floating in the air. And when you get closer, it really is floating in the air...

There isn't even a step here, how am I supposed to get in?

Lu Boqing bowed to the entrance of the building and said, "Lu Boqing requests an audience."

Um, I bet even Lu Boqing and his father have never had such a grand ceremony together...

At that moment, a strong gust of wind swept through the area, almost causing Ling Yue to stop, and giving off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Lu Boqing quickly explained, "This is my partner. We have something important to report to you."

The moment she finished speaking, the gust of wind disappeared, and Ling Yue barely managed to regain her footing.

At that moment, her heart was racing. It felt as if someone had been pressing on her heart. She had no doubt that she would be hanging here in a minute or two.

She's starting to chicken out, what should we do?

Then, a long flight of stairs appeared in front of them, and these stairs seemed to be transparent, suddenly appearing beneath their feet.

This is definitely the wrong movie set; it has the feel of a fantasy blockbuster.

Look at Lu Boqing, walking steadily and quickly up the steps, already quite a distance away.

Ling Yue seemed to have made a great decision. She closed her eyes and stepped shakily onto the transparent steps.

Very stable! It felt no different from the steps in the mortal world, so I mustered my courage and took one step at a time, striding forward.

Halfway down, Ling Yue couldn't help but look down, and holy crap!

Luckily, she's not afraid of heights, or she would have been terrified. Looking up, it felt like she was floating in mid-air.

Ling Yue only quickened her pace to catch up with Lu Boqing when he looked back with displeasure.

As soon as the two of them reached the gate, which was several meters high, it opened by itself.

As soon as I stepped through the gate, it felt like I had entered an ice cellar, and I was instantly shivering from the cold.

Immediately afterwards, flames rose from the huge furnaces on both sides of the hall, which looked spectacular and warmed the surroundings instantly.

The heating method here is quite unique. Nowadays, everyone uses central heating, but here we use traditional open flames.

Through the flickering light of the flames, Ling Yue could vaguely see a man in red sitting in the main hall; it was a bright red robe.

Um, is this someone from ancient times?

At this moment, he was leaning back in his chair in a languid posture, with one hand supporting his head, as if he were resting with his eyes closed.

Just as Ling Yue was engrossed in watching, the man in red spoke.

His voice sounded like he hadn't woken up yet, and was a little hoarse.

"What's the matter?"

In just two words, the flame that was burning so fiercely suddenly became weak and flickering, as if it were about to go out.

The temperature inside the room seemed to drop by more than ten degrees!

She couldn't stand such fluctuating temperatures.

Ling Yue quickly replied, "This... sir?"

"The thing is like this..."

Ling Yue recounted everything between the Painted Skin Ghost and the school heartthrob, including their beautiful campus romance...

Lu Boqing kept giving her meaningful glances, having given her clear instructions beforehand to keep quiet.

He started chattering incessantly as soon as he arrived, even though the person in front of me is the most annoying person.

Ling Yue finished her vivid narration and found that the man in red on the high seat was still in the same posture as before.

"This gentleman?"

Ling Yue couldn't help but speak up to remind her.

Only then did the man in red raise his head and sit up straight.

Ling Yue, however, stood there stunned.

The moment the man in red raised his head, Ling Yue saw his face and was utterly shocked.

Why is it Jing Yucheng?

Wasn't he in his mountain villa? How did he end up here, dressed in ancient attire...?

"Jing Yucheng?"

"Why are you here?"

"Are you feeling well?"

Ling Yue excitedly stepped forward, wanting to confirm something.

Just as she was about a meter away from the man in red, he shouted angrily, "Insolence!"

In an instant, a gust of wind arose, whipping Ling Yue's long hair into a mess.

Isn't he Jing Yucheng?

Lu Boqing quickly stepped forward and pulled Ling Yue over.

"Please calm down, she has mistaken you for someone else."

The demonic wind finally stopped. "You bother me with such a trivial matter?"

"Lu Boqing, I see that you've not only grown taller, but you've also become bolder!"

Lu Boqing quickly lowered his head. "Boqing wouldn't dare, but it would be unfair to hand this matter over to the relevant departments, so I came here to ask you for instructions."

"Oh? You mean there's something wrong with the laws we've been following for so long?"

Seeing that the man in red was about to get angry, Lu Boqing quickly tried to smooth things over.

“As my partner said, if we follow the law, the female protagonist of this story should be sent to the animal realm. That would be too rigid. Both humans and ghosts have emotions and desires. I think that as long as she has never had the intention to harm anyone and has always been good and helped many people, she can at least make up for her mistakes.”

Ling Yue listened to Lu Boqing's reasonable and well-founded words and mentally gave him a huge thumbs up!

His body involuntarily nodded in agreement with his point of view.

The man in red frowned slightly and replied, "Make amends for my mistakes?"

"Yes, during the time that painted-skin demon was hiding in the human world, he was helping others and accumulating a lot of merit."

Ling Yue couldn't help but answer first.

The man in red didn't seem to care, giving him a sharp look and saying, "Did I ask you a question?"
