My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

"Still tight?"

"Yes, you are a born righteous person. Otherwise, you would never be able to enter the underworld."

So Lu Qianye moved closer to him, her body pressed against his, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

An idea suddenly popped into her head.

Such a slim waist...

Is Qiao Dawang's waist really that thin?

It seems that he doesn't usually care much about his clothes, unlike other men who wear particularly exquisite clothes to show off their physique.

Joey's taste in clothes is still stuck in a child's aesthetic.

Lu Qianye couldn't help but clench his fist.

Qiao Dawan immediately bumped Lu Qianye with his shoulder.

"Don't touch me... cough, although you are my wife, it's normal to touch you, but we need to do something serious now."

Lu Qianye snapped out of his daze after being reminded like that.

She felt like disappearing into the ground.

Why are its claws moving around so randomly?!

She's been arranged to marry dozens of times and met dozens of men, but none of them have ever crossed that line.

"Ahem... Is this okay?"

"Okay, close your eyes."

Lu Qianye did as instructed. She didn't feel anything, only that her ears were initially very quiet, but later became very noisy.

Then Qiao Dawang whispered in her ear, "Sister Lu, open your eyes."

"Oh……"

Upon closer inspection, they found themselves in a place where the sky was reddish and the surroundings were dim.

There were many people around, all chattering away.

They were wearing different clothes, both men and women.

At a checkpoint, a woman dressed in black and red clothes and wearing a black and red cap was maintaining order.

"Line up, line up! Even if you're in a hurry to be reincarnated, you'd better line up properly. Don't dawdle. Are you wasting my time? You're wasting your auspicious time to be reincarnated!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianye looked at the men and women and saw that they had indeed lined up.

"here it is……"

"The first thing you have to go through before you can be reincarnated is the gates of hell."

"If that's the case, there aren't that many. I thought it would be a scene of utter chaos."

Qiao Dawang sighed: "The fact that you can say that only means that you can't see the spirits and ghosts queuing up here. You can only see the souls of normal people after they die."

"Huh!? I'm a spirit, and I can't see them either?"

"That's why I sent you here. Now that the child has walked all day, he should be on the banks of the River of Oblivion."

But that place is teeming with reincarnated humans and ghosts; you can find anything there. Even though I can see everything, it's very difficult to find anything. Sister Lu, you're different; you can narrow down your search."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianye patted his chest in assurance.

"I will handle it!"

But Qiao Dawang actually had his own plans, which was to bring Lu Qianye over so that he could protect her.

Because if he comes in and leaves Lu Qianye outside, what if that strange female ghost comes looking for him again?

The same logic applies to having her put her arm around his waist.

After a while, Lu Qianye waded through the waters of the River of Oblivion and saw a little girl squatting in the distance.

"Big Bowl, look at that child, he looks like the one we're looking for!"

Lu Qianye pulled Qiao Dawan towards that place. When they arrived at the child's side, Qiao Dawan saw the child's face clearly and thought, "Sister Lu has such good eyesight."

He was actually a little disappointed.

Found it so quickly...

He also fantasized about spending more time with Lu Qianye here, and then in the underworld, because Lu Qianye was afraid, he could show off his skills.

And that's how we found it.

"A big bowl, and then what?"

"Ah, that's right, just take her back. This little girl has been here all along, and the reason she can't get onto the ferry bridge is because she's not someone who really needs to be reincarnated."

Lu Qianye didn't expect to find it so easily.

On their way back, a ghost messenger stopped them.

You can't just take the soul away without permission.

Lu Qianye really has to rely on Qiao Dawang now.

"What should we do? Are we allowed to carry souls? Or do we need layers of paperwork, just like in the human world?"

Qiao Dawang rolled his eyes. "Then this kid is really dead. He might even be reincarnated and go through a new cycle."

So Qiao Dawang came to Lu Qianye.

"Sister Lu, can you close your eyes?"

"why?"

Qiao Dawang clicked his tongue and leaned close to Lu Qianye's ear, saying, "I'm going to do something to that ghost messenger that Sister Lu can't see. If Sister Lu sees it, it won't work."

Lu Qianye trusted Qiao Dawang completely; being as upright as she was, all she wanted was to save the child as quickly as possible.

After Qiao Dawang saw Lu Qianye close his eyes, he came to the ghost messenger, and the woman's eyes, which were originally black, suddenly turned scarlet.

Cracks also appeared on her fair and beautiful face.

The ghost messenger watched as something green emerged from under Qiao Dawan's face, and the shadow beside him turned out to be a gigantic beast that seemed to devour the entire underworld.

Her legs went weak.

Qiao Dawang quickly put away this image.

"You know why we're here, right? If we disrupt the order, do you think I'd react this way?"

But if we're late, can you take responsibility for that?

After Qiao Dawang finished speaking, he used his still-unfolded tail to smash a nearby rock into powder.

The ghost messenger immediately stepped aside, saying, "Have a safe journey... have a safe journey."

However, as Qiao Dawang took his first steps...

A laugh suddenly came from beside me.

It's the laughter of a female ghost!

He immediately turned to look at the ghost messenger, but the ghost messenger had also disappeared.

Instead, Lu Qianye opened his eyes.

!!!

"Sister Lu!"

"What, what's wrong?"

"When did you open your eyes? Didn't I tell you not to open them!"

Qiao Dawang roared instantly; this was the second time he had yelled at Lu Qianye.

The first time was when I was very, very young, still a boy.

On a boat, Lu Qianye told him that demons arise from the heart, and if the heart does not give rise to them, they do not exist.

At this moment, Qiao Dawang realized that he had been deceived by the ghost messenger.

Why didn't the other ghost messengers come to stop him? They could all feel his terror.

Why did that ghost messenger come to stop us from drinking?

And that ghostly laughter!

Lu Qianye coughed, "Just now..."

"Did I say, don't open your eyes, don't open your eyes!"

Sister Lu must have seen how disgusting and terrifying she looked!

For so many years, I have never revealed my true form in front of Lu Qianye, because I don't want her to hate me!

It was fine before, but now... now I like her!

If you are disliked... or feared... then everything is over, isn't it?

Lu Qianye didn't understand at all; she hadn't closed her eyes as Qiao Dawang had instructed.

It just opened its eyes.

"Big Bowl...what's wrong? How can I walk if I don't open my eyes?"

Qiao Dawang was very agitated, but he still tried to take a breath and tell himself not to be fooled.

Then she took Lu Qianye's hand and said, "Let's go back quickly!"

But as soon as he left, the female ghost laughed behind them.
