Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no, I'm going to miss it!"

On the wide palace path, a girl with pigtails wearing a pink training uniform is running for her life!

Today is the day the arrogant ghost is leaving for Yun'an Guofeng. She originally planned to dress up beautifully after waking up to see him off, but now, not only does she smell of sweat, she has also forgotten about seeing him off!

Seeing that they had finally reached the palace gate, the guards, who had finally learned their lesson, cleared the way in advance. As the pink blur passed by, they bowed at a ninety-degree angle and said in a loud voice, "Please take care!"

"roll!"

His urgent roar echoed through the air for a long time, and the people leaving and entering the palace were all driven to the roadside, becoming his most loyal audience...

Waaaaah, I'll never greet the princess again...

Outside the main city, Guiluo, who was leading two horses, squatted down boredly and scratched at the grass on the ground. "Your Excellency, why don't we leave first? It's not like we're not coming back."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like we're not leaving."

Ji Cang glanced at him. Today he was wearing a dark riding outfit, with a dark green inner garment that matched the dark green embroidered belt around his waist. He still had silver ornaments around his waist, and a long dark green tassel hung down behind his ear. The tight cuffs were embroidered with silver thread, which reflected a mysterious light under the light.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

Not far away, a small pink fox came rushing over with its tail raised. Just as it was about to reach him, it braked suddenly, kicking up a cloud of dust. Gui Luo, who was squatting on the ground, was hit right in the bullseye!

"Cough cough cough, you brat..."

"I'm so sorry, I was dragged out of bed by my mother to cultivate early this morning, and I forgot the time." The little fox transformed into human form, her round eyes looking at him with a hint of apology.

Ji Cang unconsciously withdrew his hand, which was halfway outstretched. "It's nothing, I'll be going now."

Ghostfall: ?

I've waited here with you for so long and all you've said is one sentence?

Who was it that spent the whole morning hiding in their room choosing robes?!

Gui Luo's lips twitched as he stood up, his legs numb from squatting. "Your Excellency, just say what you have to say. It's not like we're not going. There's no need to rush."

Li Yang glanced at him, then slapped her forehead and said, "Oh right, I've made that pill to suppress spiritual energy that you asked for last night!"

"Huh?" Before Ji Cang could react, a bag of porcelain bottles was shoved into his hand. "Because I was in a bit of a rush, I didn't refine many. There are also some to replenish spiritual energy, some to heal injuries... I've given you all sorts of random things. Didn't that lady we met last time say that Yun'an is not peaceful? Be careful!"

Ji Cang, who had finally come up with something after racking his brains, was completely stunned by her outburst.

What was he about to say?

Li Yang pushed him forward, "Let's go, let's go, have a safe trip!"

Ji Cang took the reins from Gui Luo and walked forward.

Li Yang touched his messy hair and oily face with both hands and breathed a sigh of relief. He probably didn't look at his face carefully, right?

Suddenly, Ji Cang turned around and said, "You brat... don't turn back into your original form unless you have to. If someone finds out... no one will stand up for you."

He took a deep breath. "And, when I get back, don't wander off!"

Li Yang instinctively covered her face, her muffled voice saying, "Okay! Go on!"

Ugh, this is so embarrassing!

The arrogant ghost looks so good in his clothes, while she looks as sloppy as a maid!

On the way back, Li Yang leisurely entered the city, enjoying the gentle breeze.

"Demon King! Demon King! Help! I'm going to die!"

The sound of "slaughtering a pig—oops, slaughtering a cat!" echoed in his mind, and Li Yang abruptly stopped in his tracks. "Colorful-furred cat, where are you?!"

"Waaaaah, I don't know! I woke up to find myself surrounded and attacked. Luckily, someone was there to cushion my fall, otherwise I would have been beaten into a pulp!"

"You good-for-nothing, what shops are around here, preferably restaurants!"

While waiting, Li Yang was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet. The people passing by thought the witch had gone crazy and kept their distance from her.

"Oh, I see a Cai Ji Tea House!"

Li Yang searched her memory for a moment, a flash of disdain in her eyes.

The tea at this shop was the worst she had ever tasted!

"Okay, I'll be there soon!"

Before long, Li Yang found his target: a group of people were gathered around him, and the person in the innermost part seemed to be kicking someone!

"Stop this right now, Princess!"

As soon as Li Yang's loud voice rang out, the people on the outside immediately looked at her. When they saw her face, they ran faster than rabbits. Those who dared not run because she was staring at them also automatically made way, revealing the boy who was half-beaten to death while protecting the illusory cat.

The ethereal cat opened its eyes and meowed with teary eyes, but the person who stepped down was probably too engrossed in the moment and didn't hear Li Yang's shout. The ethereal cat was instantly killed as soon as it showed its head.

"Meow!"

It only managed to let out a scream before the ethereal cat went limp and fainted again.

"kitten!"

The boy quickly protected the ethereal cat's head, and at that moment the man who had stepped down finally saw Li Yang.

"Demon...Princess...why are you here?"

Li Yang's hairstyle was already quite unique today, but when she got angry, she looked like a lion with its mane standing on end. "This cat—I've got its hands on it! You've got some nerve!"

The man was on the verge of tears and quickly knelt down. "No, Your Highness, we weren't planning to fight that monster! It was this brat who stole my buns and didn't have any money to pay me back, so we attacked him. I, Old Bao, have always been clear about right and wrong. Although I don't like monsters, I wasn't planning to beat it up either. It just offered its head to us."

Li Yang glanced around suspiciously, and everyone nodded hurriedly.

Coincidentally, the Imperial Guards, having heard the commotion, also arrived at the scene.

The Imperial Guard is an army specially designated by the royal family to protect the safety of the people. The entry requirements are very strict: "Don't get involved if you're below the level of the Spirit King; just be a commoner."

The people were even more afraid when they saw the Imperial Guard.

The leader of the Imperial Guard, Shan Hong, glanced at Li Yang and then ordered his men to inquire about what had happened.

“Princess.” Shan Hong bowed to Li Yang. “According to the people, this young man… stole. If Your Highness were to hold the people accountable, it might not be good if it reached His Majesty’s ears. Please, Your Highness, do not make things difficult for us.”

Dan Hong had dealt with this woman quite a bit during his previous patrols, but because of his status as the leader of the Imperial Guard, this witch didn't dare to put on airs in front of him. Now that she was a princess, she was even more difficult to deal with.

Li Yang smiled and slowly looked down at him. "When did I say I was going to make things difficult for you? This cat is mine, and I never said that person was mine. Someone come and bring my cat back to me. As for that person, deal with him however you want."

Dan Hong looked at her suspiciously and waved his hand behind him.

The subordinate nervously carried the ethereal cat out and handed it to Li Yang with a death-defying air.

"Thank you."

"I dare not accept such praise." He bowed as if he had seen a ghost and then hid away.

Li Yang looked at the boy lying on the ground and said, "Now that my cat has been found, I'll be leaving."

"Hey, hey, hey, Princess, take care." Shan Hong nodded repeatedly. This ancestor is really easy to see off today, hehe.

"Wait, cough cough cough, Princess, could you please save me..."

Li Yang paused in her turn, then looked back at him. "I haven't even questioned you about stealing my cat, and you still want me to save you?"

Dong Xiubei clenched his fist secretly. Who was it that said this woman was easy to fool?

Even though he was so angry he wanted to kill someone, he still softened his voice and said, "To be honest, I found this cat, and I only stole it to feed it..."

There's no need to finish your sentence; a well-timed ending will only make people feel more guilty.

Who knew that Li Yang's loud voice would leave him stunned.

"I knew my cat had gotten so thin! If you can't feed my cat, you should steal it! Ugh, why did you even pick it up?"

The Imperial Guards, the common people, and Dong Xiubei were all stunned. In the end, Li Yang sadly threw a bag of silver coins to the steamed bun vendor, saying, "You have to be more careful in the future, so you don't get scammed like I did."

"Let's go, you little liar."
