The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Having walked alongside Xiao Ji, Yun Yici had come to understand Xiao Ji's character to some extent.

She preferred to go to the Moon Goddess, who sounded fierce, rather than to these scheming "people".

Strangely enough, she felt a sense of closeness as soon as she heard the other person's name.

Besides, she's not the kind of person who's stupid enough to suffer in silence.

If Yue Niang treats her badly, she will find a way to leave.

Yun Yici was resolute, so Xiao Ji seized the opportunity and quickly helped her complete the registration before taking the Soul-Nourishing Bowl and making a hasty escape.

She couldn't remember her own name; the only thing recorded in the ghost book was the single character "辞" (cí).

Once she stepped out of that strange hall, she was considered a ghost with a legitimate identity in the ghost realm.

When Yun Yici climbed out of the bowl and looked around again, Xiao Ji stopped stopping him.

Yun Yici looked around and found that A-Ming was not there. She asked Xiao Ji, "Isn't A-Ming coming with us?"

Xiao Ji explained, "Ah Ming and I are just temporary partners. The Tongming Beasts have their own places to go, and the Ox Beast is a type of Tongming Beast."

“Ah Ming was kept by them, probably to ask us how we found you.”

Xiao Ji didn't say anything earlier, and those strange men didn't press him for details either; it turns out they had their eyes on A Ming.

Yun Yici was a little worried: "What exactly happened with that scale just now? And what about those five people?"

"They won't cause us any trouble, will they?"

Xiao Ji: "No, it won't happen."

As he led her along, Yun Yici noticed that the blood moon she had seen when she arrived had turned into a white moon.

Xiao Ji said, "This is daytime in the ghost realm."

"The red moon represents night, the white moon represents day, and day and night alternate."

Yun Yici looked curiously at the streets and alleys along the roadside, which were not much different from those in the human world, and even the buildings were very similar to those in the human world.

The difference is that here, many orbs of white light float in the air.

The second most common sight is the hazy human figures on the street, while the fewest are the clearly defined, independent "people" wandering around.

These "people" all had blank faces, pale and ashen, devoid of emotion and any other color.

Xiao Ji, this exquisitely beautiful little boy, was truly dazzling as he walked down the street.

As they walked, Xiao Ji explained to Yun Yici, "These white orbs of light are what you look like right now."

"Without consciousness or memory, over the years they will slowly absorb the moonlight and cultivate a physical form."

Yun Yici understood. It meant that the light ball would transform into a misty human shape, then become a human, and then regain his memories, just like Xiao Ji.

"How long will it take to cultivate a physical form?"

Xiao Ji's answer greatly surprised Yun Yici: "Those with talent will live for a hundred years or so, while those without talent will just drift around here forever."

After he finished speaking, he added, "Xiao Ci, you're different from them. You might be able to cultivate a physical form in ten years."

Yun Yici murmured, "I feel like I was still very young when I died."

Xiao Ji laughed after hearing this: "You were definitely not as young as me when you died, but you must have been a very powerful person in life."

"I have never seen anyone who cannot be weighed by the Yin-Yang scale."

After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he explained the principle of the Yin-Yang Scale to her, which left Yun Yici stunned.

Xiao Ji said, "Those five lords are from the Netherworld Palace. The people of the Netherworld Palace are named according to the ten Heavenly Stems."

"The Netherworld Palace is not dominated by the Ten Heavenly Stems; the Book of Admonitions is the core of the Netherworld Palace."

"The Book of Admonitions is the pillar of the ghost realm. When a person's name and death date appear in the Book of Admonitions, we must find that person and guide him to the ghost realm when he dies."

"As for why Xiao Xun's name appeared, I don't know either."

"I was chosen to pick up Xiao Xun this time because he is my descendant."

"Xiao Xun is a descendant of my elder brother."

Once he was no longer under A-Ming's surveillance, Xiao Ji visibly became much more talkative.

Yun Yici could sense that although Xiao Ji hadn't completed the task, he was secretly pleased.

“We need a Netherworld Beast to travel to the other three realms, but all of them are controlled by the Netherworld Palace.”

Yun Yici was itching to try: "Does the Tongming Beast fear demon cultivators just like other demon beasts?"

After seven days of restoring her soul, some common-sense memories began to return.

She wanted to raise a spirit beast of her own, otherwise returning to the human world would be a distant dream.

Yun Yici was stunned for a moment. What was she supposed to do when she returned to the human world?

Xiao Ji said, "The Tongming Beast is not easy to raise; I have never seen one successfully raised."

"You should follow Yue Niang and cultivate your body first. Outsiders say she is rude and fierce, but she is not a bad person at heart."

Xiao Ji, with good intentions, soon took Yun Yici to the only shop that was open at the end of the street.

A long line of gray figures stood in front of the shop, each holding a kind of dark blue grass leaf.

The long queue moved very quickly. Xiao Ji was looking for Yue Niang, so he didn't queue and went straight through the queue to the shop.

"These spirits have begun to develop consciousness. Yue Niang sells everything here, and there are many good things that can help with cultivation."

“We don’t have a unified currency here; we barter for goods. Yue Niang likes these kinds of grass leaves.”

Yun Yici finally understood why Xiao Ji had sent her here; she was a rich woman from the ghost realm.

Xiao Ji carried the bowl of Yun Yici into the shop.

Yun Yici looked curiously into the shop and found that the shop was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and in the center was an ancient medicine cauldron.

A fire was burning beneath the medicine cauldron, and the aroma of the medicine emanated from it.

Many of the spirits who brought grass leaves to exchange for the cauldron were after it.

The large cauldron was unattended, and a spoon floated in the air, diligently trading with the waiting spirits.

The spoon first took the grass leaves from their hands and threw them into the cauldron. Then, it scooped up a spoonful from the cauldron, put it in a bowl, and handed it to the waiting souls.

She straightened up and discovered that the liquid she scooped out of the cauldron was exactly the same as the one she was soaking in.

Yun Yici looked down at the liquid that had become somewhat cloudy after soaking for seven days, and couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

"Xiao Ji, where did you get those grass leaves? Can I get some to change the water in the bowl?"

Before Xiao Ji could answer, a woman called out loudly, "Xiao Ji, come in."

Yun Yici looked left and right but couldn't see anyone. Xiao Ji, however, was not surprised and simply took the bowl into the inner hall.

Upon entering the inner hall, Yun Yici discovered that this shop was a hidden gem.

From the outside it looks like an ordinary little shop, but inside there is a huge locust tree, covered with snow-white locust blossoms.

There was a recliner under the tree, where a beautiful and elegant woman in white was leisurely lying.

She sat with her legs crossed, completely lacking in decorum, and was carrying a wine jug that was bigger than her head.

Xiao Ji stepped forward respectfully and presented the soul-nourishing bowl in front of the woman: "Moon Lady, this is a wisp of soul that I found in the human world, named Xiao Ci."

"I was thinking you might be short of a job, could you perhaps take her in temporarily?"
