"High God Qingxuan, you don't need to be in such a hurry. High God Xiaocang may be delayed by something. Why do you need to make the trip yourself?"

A man in a long red and black robe and wearing a ghost mask floated beside him. The man in red looked normal and was no different from an ordinary person, except that his feet did not touch the ground and his voice was sinister.

Mu Qingxuan said in a cold voice, "The Evil Lord not only escaped, but also imprisoned my father and mother gods. If Xiao Cang happens to encounter the two of them and they fight, it will affect other realms and will also be detrimental to Xiao Cang."

“Your Excellency is right, it was my oversight that I did not consider this carefully,” Hongfei said respectfully, and then led the way for him.

A sudden scream made the two of them stop in their tracks.

A white-clad woman was seen running desperately ahead, while a red-clad female ghost floated behind her.

The female ghost's shrill and sinister voice came, "Girl, how can you know I'm good-looking if you haven't even looked at me? You have to look at me first, don't run away."

"If you don't chase me, do you think I'll run away?!" Mu Tiantian complained as she ran. "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I'm just the new guy, so please don't come after me..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw two figures standing in front of her.

A man dressed in a black and red robe had most of his face burned by a fire, so rotten that the bone was visible. Another man floating beside him was dressed in red, exactly like the female ghost chasing her. The only difference was that his face was normal, just like an ordinary person, as long as you ignored his feet that never touched the ground.

Mu Tiantian opened her eyes wide, her breath hitched, and she felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

The female ghost respectfully stepped forward to greet him, "Greetings, High God Qingxuan."

Looking at Mu Tiantian's frightened expression, Mu Qingxuan took another look. This... was somewhat different from the mannequins he had seen before.

Seeing that the god did not respond, the female ghost did not dare to ask any more questions. She came to Hongfei's side and asked, "Brother Hongfei, weren't you in the Ghost Realm? How did you end up in the Netherworld Realm?"

“Hongyu, how many times have I told you to comb your hair up and make your skin look rosy? And your eyes, why are your eyes bleeding?” Hongfei said helplessly. “No wonder you scared that girl half to death.”

Hongyu pouted and reluctantly did as he said. "I've been watching TV dramas lately. The mortals in the Mortal Realm are really good. The female lead died of cancer, and the male lead never married again while holding his child. I cried until I had no tears left. I even shed tears of blood."

Mu Tiantian listened to the two ghosts in ancient costumes discussing a modern TV series. She had already gotten somewhat used to this incongruous scene.

She even felt a sense of familiarity now that she saw the three ghosts standing in front of her; they didn't seem so scary anymore.

Mu Tiantian took a deep breath, blinked, and looked at the tall man in front of her. Surprisingly, she was no longer afraid.

Upon closer inspection, his terrifying face appeared to be a mask.

Moreover, the spiritual energy emanating from him was completely incompatible with the yin energy here.

"Brother, is that a mask you're wearing?" Mu Tiantian asked curiously after calming down.

The man gave a curt "hmm," his tone indifferent.

Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two ghosts behind him. She also saw the female ghost's true appearance. She was indeed quite pretty, with a delicate and charming appearance.

She complimented the female ghost, saying, "She is quite beautiful."

Hongyu asked earnestly, "Didn't I look good just now? Fair skin looks so much better."

Mu Tiantian recalled that face, which was paler than paper, and said tactfully, "You looked good before, but you look even better now."

Upon seeing Mu Tiantian's appearance, Hongfei was astonished and quickly pulled out the Ghost Token, "God Qingxuan, is she the woman in this portrait?"

"A portrait?" Mu Tiantian peered at the token in the red-clad male ghost's hand and saw that it displayed her portrait, which looked exactly like a photograph.

She was a little puzzled. Why would there be information about her in a place like this?

Mu Tiantian looked at the man called the Supreme God and remembered what Wang Tao's two patrolmen had told her.

This world is divided into six realms: gods, immortals, mortals, demons, monsters, and the underworld.

Each domain is further divided into two realms, for a total of twelve realms.

The two ghosts addressed the man as a god, but the place was filled with yin energy, so it could not possibly be a divine realm.

Wang Tao once said that after a person dies, they should go to the place they are meant to go. Whether they become a ghost cultivator or are reincarnated, they should not appear in other realms.

If we interpret it literally, then this place should be the underworld.

So, judging from this situation, and the fact that there's even her portrait on the token, could it be that they've come to take her away to be reincarnated?

Mu Tiantian's eyes darted around. Being targeted by the Underworld was no good. She looked puzzled and asked, "Does this look like me?"

Hongfei and Hongyu nodded in unison, "Very similar."

Hongfei asked, "Is your name Mu Tiantian?"

“No, my name is Lin Sanshui,” Mu Tiantian replied seriously. “And I… just had my identity checked in the Mortal Realm. You can go and ask if you don’t believe me.”

Hongyu was somewhat convinced by her earnestness. "Brother Hongfei, are we mistaken? There are plenty of people who look alike."

Hongfei thought for a moment and said, "Then we still have to take them back for testing. Didn't we say that anyone who looks the same as this portrait has to be taken back?"

Hongyu nodded. "That's true."

Seeing that the two seemed a bit silly, Mu Tiantian started to coax them, "It would be such a waste of resources for me to go back with you to test them. You are patrol officers from the Underworld, right? You can just communicate with the patrol officers from different realms and you'll know. Besides, I have urgent business here. I just want to ask if you know where the Five-Headed Demon Leopard can be found?"

Hong Yu told her without warning, "Those are low-level magical beasts from the Demon Realm, which generally live in the Scattered Demon Realm."

Mu Tiantian asked, "Then how do we get there?"

Hongyu pointed to the distant sea area and said, "That Nether Sea connects the Mortal Sea and the Demon Sea. As a mortal, you need to take a boat to get there, but the patrol officers will never allow a mortal like you to enter the Demon Realm."

After thinking for a while, Mu Tiantian said, "Actually, I am from the Demon Realm. I got lost while running errands and accidentally ended up here. So, could you give me a map so I can get back?"

"Are you from the Demon Realm?" Hong Fei looked at her with suspicion.

Hongyu chimed in, "It's not impossible. If a person has a child with a demon, and their magic is strong enough, it's not impossible to hide the demonic energy on their body."

Mu Tiantian nodded in agreement. This red-clad female ghost was practically her perfect wingman. She said sweetly, "Pretty sister is right."

Hongyu blushed and said, "Am I really that pretty? You're so sweet-talking, I'll take you home."

As she spoke, she prepared to lead the way for Mu Tiantian.

Before they could take two steps, both the human and the ghost had their collars grabbed.

Hongyu turned around and looked at Hongfei strangely, "Brother Hongfei, why are you pulling me?"

Hongfei glared at her, "You get all carried away after just a few compliments, you've forgotten all about the important stuff!"

Mu Tiantian suddenly felt a tightness around the back of her neck, and the next moment she was pulled to the side of the man in the black and red robe. She heard his cold and indifferent voice say, "Your lying skills are too bad. Come with me."

"No...this deity, I really didn't lie...cough cough!" Mu Tiantian was practically dragged along by him, the tightness in her constriction was quite painful. "Can you loosen your grip a bit...cough cough...you're choking me to death...can't I just stop running...?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingxuan released his grip.

Mu Tiantian didn't care about anything else and turned to run away.

Who knew that after running only three steps, his body was suddenly controlled by an invisible force, and he mechanically walked towards the direction of that god.

"If you are from the Demon Realm, do you think you, a mere demon, could escape?"

Mu Tiantian chuckled awkwardly at the emotionless voice, "I just... I just want to go home."

"Once I find out your identity, I will let you go." With that, Mu Qingxuan quickened his pace, and Mu Tiantian followed behind him uncontrollably, her feet off the ground, as if she were floating, like a ghost.

There was a town beyond the woods.

The pedestrians on the street... or rather, ghosts, all sorts of things: headless, skeletons, missing limbs...

This is truly a ghost town!
