"I hope she's telling the truth." Shiyun turned and left the main hall.

In the vast hall, only Yun Kun remained. "Ah! Why am I always the one who gets hurt! Come, someone come! Find my broken leg! Ahhh!"

If his leg cannot be reattached within an hour, it will be completely useless.

"Sir," the black-clad guard entered, trembling as he said, "Just now... just now I went to look for it and found your leg..."

"Where are my legs?!"

"My leg... my leg was taken away by a stray dog."

"ah!!!"

A pig-like scream echoed from above the Ghost City's main hall: "Useless trash, a bunch of useless trash, my legs!"

——

"Your Majesty, if you require anything, please do not hesitate to give the order, and I will do my utmost to fulfill it."

Feng Chu said with a look of admiration, it was the first time he had ever seen the legendary Emperor.

I heard that even the previous Lord of the Ghost Palace never saw Your Majesty before he died!

"name."

"Name? Is that my name?" Feng Chu was overjoyed and quickly replied, "My name is Feng Chu."

"Feng Chu, get lost."

Yin Ming said with a dark face. The next moment, a powerful aura struck, and Feng Chu flew out, turning into a black dot and disappearing.

"Little Yue'er." After dealing with the noisy Feng Chu, Yin Ming turned around and found that his maid had already walked away.

He quickly caught up with Liuyue.

“Yin Ming, since you have somewhere to go, you don’t need to be my guard anymore. In the cave, we each got what we needed, and there was no question of repaying a debt.” Liu Yue looked at the man in front of her seriously. She wasn’t curious about his identity, but she also didn’t like this feeling of not being able to control him.

The betrayal from her past life was still vivid in her mind, freezing her heart with frost. She never wanted to experience that again.

"The Ghost Palace is a force I established a thousand years ago when I descended to the mortal realm. It has always been managed by my subordinate, the Cold Crow. This time, it must have been the Cold Crow who sent the message down, which is why they know about it."

Yin Ming explained in detail, "My identity..."

Yin Ming stepped forward, grabbed Liu Yue's hand, and placed it on his heart.

A pale golden light lingered in the girl's palm.

Demons!

Liu Yue was slightly taken aback and looked at Yin Ming with surprise.

She had guessed Yin Ming's identity, but she never expected... that Yin Ming was actually a demon! The Nine Provinces Heavenly Domain is home to countless races, divided into five domains: the God Domain, the Saint Domain, the Demon Domain, the Ghost Domain, and the Demon Domain.

“I was sealed away. As you can see, the Life and Death Array and the Soul-Locking Chain have imprisoned me for a thousand years,” Yin Ming said earnestly. “Little Yue’er, the reason I didn’t tell you was because I was afraid you would despise me.”

Yin Ming roughly guessed Liu Yue's identity: a demon, the lowest level of existence in the Nine Provinces Heavenly Domain, surrounded by miasma and never seeing the sun for years.

In her previous life, Liu Yue had heard that several years ago, a world-destroying demon lord emerged from the demon race! He led the demon race, which had been oppressed for thousands of years, to fight their way out.

The divine princes of the Divine Realm all died at the hands of the Demon Lord. Later, for some unknown reason, the Demon Lord perished. The Divine Realm and the Holy Realm immediately joined forces and sealed the demon race into a wild wasteland surrounded by miasma, which was later named the Demon Realm.

In her past life, Liu Yue read storybooks and greatly admired this Demon Lord.

I never expected it to appear right in front of me.

He even became her bodyguard? So... she's been sharing a bed with that ruthless, murderous demon for so long?

A million alpacas galloped through Liu Yue's mind; this was just too dramatic.

——

Because the Ghost Market was sealed off, Sikong Yu and Luo Yishui were also trapped. Even though Sikong Yu was the Crown Prince, he was treated the same as everyone else here.

However, they came today for an auction held by the Qilin Auction House.

Rumors had been circulating for a long time that the item being auctioned by the Qilin Auction House this time was the Shennong Cauldron, a legendary artifact of near-divine quality! If one could obtain the Shennong Cauldron, the pills refined from it would be far more pure than those made with ordinary cauldrons.

On the second floor of the auction house, Luo Yishui saw a very familiar figure through the window. Although the figure was wearing a mask, Luo Yishui recognized it at a glance.

Seeing that there was a man following behind Liu Yue, Luo Yishui had a particularly deep impression of Yin Ming, because even she couldn't see through this man's cultivation level.

Moreover, Yin Ming can incapacitate people without even touching them! How could someone like that be content to serve as a guard for a good-for-nothing like Jun Liuyue?

Thinking of this, a hint of mockery flashed in Luo Yishui's eyes.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect Sister Liuyue to come to the auction house as well." Luo Yishui said softly, "There is a man with her. He seems to be Sister Liuyue's guard, but... I have never seen him in the Jun family before."

Luo Yishui said worriedly, "I'm afraid Liuyue will be deceived by outsiders."

"Yishui, she has hurt you so badly, and you're still thinking about her?"

Sikong Yu said unhappily.

“Your Highness, without Liuyue, I would never have been able to meet you in this lifetime, so no matter what Liuyue did to me, I cannot blame her.” Luo Yishui shook her head. “Besides, Liuyue must have been bewitched to act that way all of a sudden.”

"Yishui, you have nothing to do with the Jun family anymore." Sikong Yu held Luo Yishui's hand: "Although the Jun family took you in back then, with your talent, it has been an honor for the Jun family to have you here all these years!"

Sikong Yu snorted coldly, "If the Jun family had treated you well, that would have been fine, but that old bastard Jun Tianlan actually let Jun Liuyue hurt you. Yishui, don't worry, I will definitely get revenge for you."

Luo Yishui shook his head: "Your Highness, no matter what, I hope Liuyue is doing well. Seeing her with such a shady man, I'm really worried. Perhaps..."
