Illusion 1

He seems to have smiled like that a few times already.Lin Yanqin, when he heard his suggestion to pretend to be a village girl, chuckled. Perhaps he found Lin Yanqin not stupid at all and had anticipa...According to legend, Meng Po was a very old, unmarried woman who lived a long life. She was knowledgeable, well-read, refrained from killing and ate only vegetarian food.

This "beauty" indeed had hair as white as frost and eyebrows that were also white, but her face was round and full, with kind eyes and a gentle expression. She looked like a benevolent deity at first glance.

The immortal's appearance can often change. Her face has a classical beauty, unlike today's pointed faces. Instead, it is very plump, rich, and beautifully kind-looking. Such a face best meets the aesthetic standards of face readers.

I inclined my head slightly to her, and she, leaning on her cane, returned the gesture with a slight bow. She smiled and said, "My Lady, it's rare for you to visit the Underworld. Why are you in such disarray Losing your dignity will make the little ghosts laugh."

She stopped speaking and tapped me lightly on the body with her hand. My clothes changed to resemble theirs, even more elaborate and heavier!

I carried my trailing cloak and asked, "Mengpo Grandmother, what are you gathering these little fairies for"

There were so many girls around her, they must all be the "daughters" she had brought to life. I saw Meng Shu, Meng Yong, and Meng Ge, as well as a few I didn't recognize.

"Well... it's been years since the Seventh Uncle crossed the Naihe Bridge, of course we have to welcome him properly." She took my hand and walked forward.

Bai Wu Chang was leading a retinue of maidservants, each carrying a fragrant flower umbrella, slowly walking over from there—while others walked, Bai Wu Chang remained as ethereal and drifting as ever.

"Hee hee... Little Empress... welcome back to the palace." He gave me a slight bow.

Alas, the Naihe Bridge was so high and long. Meng Po saw me off as I walked across the bridge, smiling and saying to me, "Little Madam, since you've come to the Underworld, why not stay for a few more days"

What Stay for a few more days

"No, no, I'm still busy..." I shook my head quickly.

Meng Po looked at me with some regret: "Oh... I thought the little empress would come to help... During the Emperor's period of forgetting, we were all on edge and had to be extra careful..."

Bai Wuchang laughed, "Little Empress, of course you can lend a hand! ~~ As long as she can help the Emperor come out of the illusionary realm sooner, wouldn't we have it much easier Hmph..."

Meng Po God smiled faintly: "That's right. Well, this old one bids farewell to the young Lady... If you have free time, please come to Wangtan Tea House for a cup of tea."

Well, tea from the Forgetful Platform

It really takes some courage.

Meng Shu saw through my mind and giggled, "What are you afraid of! We wouldn't dare to drug you, would we"

"That's right, that's right! Even your magic potion can't work on him! Our Emperor's love potion is the most powerful one there is. Once you drink it, you won't forget him for all eternity!" Meng Yong chimed in.

"Hee hee hee... I'm so envious of Little Empress! The Emperor seems fierce, but he's actually so gentle~ "Meng Ge looked like a minor, her voice was sweet and cute.

Meng Po smiled at me: “Little Madam, let me offer you a word of advice.”

"Say..."

"What's meant by 'one's mind at ease' is to 'never dwell on past events and never worry about future ones.' I hope the Young Empress will relax her mind and not be impatient during her cultivation."

"Okay... thank you for the advice."

I followed Bai Wuchang for a while, and he suddenly spoke: "…The platform of the Forgetful Drink is truly frightening."

"Huh"

Bai Wuchang sneered, "The places in the underworld with the most women are Yinjingtian Palace and Mengwutang. However, the women in Yinjingtian Palace are maids chosen by former gods, so they behave themselves. But the women in Mengwutang... these little girls have been spoiled rotten by the Mengpo God."

"Huh Spoiled"

"Sigh~~ Who would have thought that the Nine Heavens and the Underworld are one of yang qi and the other yin qi, unable to give birth to all things. Meng Po was bored, so she transformed a little girl to liven things up, but it's too noisy." Bai Wu Chang said with some helplessness.

Actually, the underworld isn't as terrifying as people imagine.

Although dim and cold, this is where deities of all sizes reside until their souls are extinguished.

"Qī Yé, where is the deity who can deal with the Man Head Demon" I hurried after him, my elaborate skirt swishing.

Bai Wuchang smiled and said, “My Lady, don’t worry. Let me take you to Yinjingtian Palace to rest first. Have some tea and catch your breath, then we can talk slowly…”

"Um Well... isn't that a long way to go" I asked, feeling apprehensive.

Last time I went up, I almost cried from exhaustion.

This is definitely not me being delicate, I would really cry from climbing.

Those stairs that seem to go on forever, and the mountains that pierce the sky, are utterly disheartening.

Bai Wuchang covered his mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll take you up."

He extended a hand, letting me grasp his wrist.

Bai Wuchang's build is slender, and his hands are the same way—long, nimble fingers with oval-shaped, pointed nails. His wrists aren't particularly strong, but his grip is incredibly powerful!

I was once thrown into a well with just one hand.

I was still afraid of him, so I gripped his wrist tightly with both hands.

He sneered with a cruel smile: "Little Princess, you're too cowardly. Are you afraid of heights"

I nodded. How many women aren't afraid of heights

Moreover, this building's height isn't seven or eight stories high, it's seventy or eighty stories tall!

I kept my eyes tightly shut the whole way, until he floated down gently and my feet touched the ground, only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hee hee, I'm here~ Little Empress, rest for a bit, I'll be right back~~" He smiled mischievously and vanished from before my eyes.

"Little Niece, stop biting! You've torn my robe. Do you think you're light You're dead weight!" I tugged at the robe on my shoulder.

The fringes at the end of this robe are a provocation to felines!

Little Ni was entangled with those tassels, having a great time. I could only drag my robe and walk away.

The maids remained bowed and silent, their heads not even lifting, so still they were that I doubted they even breathed—I truly believed they were paper cutouts come to life!

Sitting in the bridal chamber with Jiang Qiyun, I looked at the six maidservants standing outside the beaded curtain. My heart was pounding a little, luckily Xiao Nie kept making some noises, which gave me some comfort.

Bai Wuchang hadn't been gone for long when he reappeared, followed by two Yin officials who carried stacks of towering "documents."

"Hee hee hee... Little Empress, since the Emperor isn't here, these things can only be viewed with the backup copy you have in your divine seal. I'm putting you to work then~ " He had a smug look on his face.

I widened my eyes — so many!

Tsk, no way! He tricked me into working!

"Seven Lords, you deceived me again! I came here to find the one who beheaded—" I jumped up from the stool.

Bai Wu Chang's wide-sleeved robes covered his mouth as he let out a sinister smile. "How is that possible You helping me is the same as helping the Emperor! As for that ghost god who can deal with Ren Tou Man… hehe… isn't he standing right at the gate of Yin Jing Tian Gong"

Before the mountain gate

A picture flashed in my mind, a headless guard at the mountain gate. At that time, Jiang Qiyun still said to me, "Get used to it." It was him all along!she seems completely at ease."I can't sleep, little wife," I replied honestly."...You don't need to worry about Mu Wanchen's. This is his territory. Last time the earthquake was so big, he could use m...
