"Caw-caw-!" In the dead of night, several hoarse crows flew over a gloomy and terrifying mass grave. After circling the mass grave once, the crows finally landed on a few dilapidated tombstones.

This mass grave was desolate, surrounded by a few withered trees. Only a few bare branches remained on the trees, swaying in the cold wind but still standing. The pale, eerie moonlight shone on the withered trees, making the shadows on the ground look terrifying and menacing.

"Boom—" Not long after the crows landed at the grave, a muffled thunder rumbled in the silent night sky. The surrounding space twisted and tore apart, and finally, a blood-red cloud appeared out of thin air in the silent dark night!

The instant the blood-red clouds appeared, lightning flashed and thunder roared, accompanied by a violent storm!

Heaven seemed very displeased with the appearance of that blood cloud! As if it wanted to destroy it immediately, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down and hit the blood cloud!

However, as if it had a premonition, the blood cloud vanished on the spot just as the lightning was about to strike it!

However, the escape of the blood cloud seemed to further enrage the heavenly thunder, and the storm raged even more fiercely.

In a staff dormitory in J City, a deafening clap of thunder startled a person who had just fallen asleep. The moment the person opened their eyes, a green light flashed within them, and one could vaguely see vertical pupils that were not human! However, after the green light faded, the pupils returned to those of an ordinary human.

"Oh, the spring thunder rumbles, the Awakening of Insects arrives, all things revive, has spring come?"

Yue Jiuling muttered to herself, turning over in the blanket, preparing to change her position and continue sleeping. But she opened her eyes again less than two seconds after closing them, "Huh? Something's not right. This aura... could it be..."

As she spoke, Yue Jiuling slowly got up and dressed. Although it was already spring, it was still cold at night, not to mention that it was windy and rainy outside.

Yue Jiuling was wearing a long black trench coat over a white turtleneck sweater, and silver leather boots with a string of silver bells hanging from them. Each step she took was accompanied by the jingling of the bells, which looked eerie in the midnight air.

Yue Jiuling is currently living in the staff dormitory. As she was leaving, she ran into Bai Xinyu, who was getting up to get a drink of water. Bai Xinyu, still half asleep, looked at Yue Jiuling as she headed out late at night and asked:

"Jiuling? Are you going out? It looks like it's raining heavily outside."

Yue Jiuling opened the door, picked up her umbrella, and stepped out, saying, "Um, I have something to do, I'm going out for a bit."

After Yue Jiuling finished speaking, she went out, leaving Bai Xinyu looking completely bewildered. Finally, Bai Xinyu shook her head and poured herself a drink of water, saying, "That's strange. What could possibly be the reason for going out in this torrential rain? Could it be to collect the laundry?"

"Boom!" Thunder roared in the sky. Jiu Ling walked in the storm with an umbrella. If an ordinary person walked in such a downpour, they would definitely get soaked to the bone, and the umbrella would definitely be blown around by the wind and they would lose their grip.

However, Yue Jiuling strolled leisurely as if it were normal weather, without getting a single drop of rain on her, and her umbrella remained perfectly secure and unaffected.

A deafening rumble—another startling clap of thunder illuminated the pitch-black street as bright as day.

Yue Jiuling stopped in her tracks, slightly raised her head, and her eyes showed obvious disdain. She chuckled as if addressing the heavens or talking to herself:

"What? You want to chop me up again? Let me tell you, I've chopped you up once, that's enough, do you want to do it a second time?"

After saying that, she disappeared on the spot, while the strong wind and heavy rain continued.

When Yue Jiuling reappeared, she was in another world. Looking at the antique-style pavilion in front of her, she raised her eyebrows and thought: "As expected, old habits die hard."

The place where Yue Jiuling is now is no longer the street in the middle of the night with a raging storm, but a small bamboo forest with a clear sky, gentle breeze, beautiful green mountains and clear waters, and a small bridge and flowing water!

Looking at the pavilion in front of her, Yue Jiuling kept complaining in her heart: Who would openly run a brothel in such a blatant and ostentatious way in this world of declining morals?

The pavilion had two floors, and three large red lanterns hung above the main entrance, with the words "Seeking Pleasure Pavilion" boldly written in black calligraphy.

The couplets on the two large pillars beside the door:

Beyond the mountains, green hills rise; beyond the buildings, more buildings stand.

Yihong Courtyard, Misty Rain Pavilion.

Horizontal scroll:

A place of debauchery, sensual pleasures, and extravagant entertainment!

The door to Xunhuan Pavilion was closed. Yue Jiuling put away her umbrella and went to knock on the door. After a short while, she heard a woman's voice:

"Oh my, who is it? It's not even dark yet, why are you here so early? Are you missing one of our older sisters?"

"Ah Qing, it's me. And can you please stop being so reckless?" Yue Jiuling shook her head and laughed helplessly.

The door opened quickly, and a seductive woman stood in the doorway, swaying her slender waist. She had green hair and wore ancient clothing, but while her upper body was that of a beautiful woman, her lower body was that of a snake's tail! The woman smiled and bowed slightly to Jiu Ling:

"Oh? It's Sister Jiuling. May I ask why you've come here?"

Yue Jiuling stepped into the courtyard. The ground was not visible in the courtyard, which was filled with white mist like a fairyland. However, the white mist only reached her calves, and the field of vision was still very wide.

"I'm here to see your Demon King, Flower Peacock. Go and inform him that I'm here to see him."

Yue Jiuling waved her hand at the white mist on the ground, and it all dissipated, revealing a field of animals sleeping on the flowers and grass. The animals were a mixed bag: snakes, rabbits, cats, dogs, foxes, chickens, ducks, mice... and even lizards and spiders... It was practically a zoo!
