The moment the snake coffin lid was closed, Kui Kui was plunged into complete darkness.

Her ears were filled with the hissing of snakes. Just as she was about to take her phone out of her pocket, the lights around her suddenly lit up.

I had thought it was just a rectangular, enclosed space, but it turned out to be a long passageway that stretched as far as the eye could see, with no idea where it led.

Kui Kui initially thought the glowing things were lamps, but upon closer inspection, he realized they were snake spirits.

The snake spirits born from the snake coffin hold luminous pearls in their mouths and hang on the torch racks on the wall.

And all around her, on the ground and on the walls, were colorful snakes.

In nature, the more vibrant something is, the more poisonous it often is. The same is true of snakes.

The snakes sensed her presence and all moved closer to her.

Although she wasn't afraid of snakes, the sight of so many snakes swarming at once still made Kui Kui's scalp tingle.

The fox spirit tail at her waist sensed the snake spirit's movement and emitted a soft white light.

The snake spirits could not advance any further when they reached within a meter of her.

"Hiss!" The snake spirit seemed anxious, making continuous hissing sounds.

They crawled to both sides of the passageway, and several of them combined to form arrows, guiding the Kui Kui in the right direction.

"You want me to go inside?"

"Hiss!" The snakes raised their heads and moved up and down stiffly.

Kui Kui licked her lips, which were a little dry from nervousness. She knew that staying here was undoubtedly the safest place.

But remembering the voice in her dream, she was filled with curiosity and wanted to go in the direction the snake spirits pointed to to find out.

Just as she hesitated, outside the snake coffin, the appointed time arrived, and the gates of hell opened wide.

A chilling wind blew, dark clouds swirled in the sky, and a sinister laugh echoed from somewhere.

Hundreds of ghostly figures darted about above the Wang family's old house, seemingly searching for something, but without any clue.

Just as Grandma Wang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Mang Tianlong and the eight men he brought suddenly moved.

They made a hand seal, and a small crack immediately appeared on the black snake coffin.

More than a dozen powerful evil spirits sensed the presence of Kui Kui in the snake coffin and immediately swooped down and entered it.

Grandma Wang and the others couldn't stop them in time.

Chang Huaiqing exclaimed in shock, "Patriarch Mang, you're not helping Kui Kui, you're using Kui Kui's snake immortal destiny to sacrifice to your Mang family ancestors!"

Mang Tianlong waved his hand, and the snake coffin was sealed again. He licked his lips and sneered, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Kui Ziyu drew a soft sword from his waist and said coldly, "If my daughter cannot be taken out of the coffin, even if I risk my life, I will not let you off easily!"

Mang Tianlong narrowed his eyes, his gaze full of disdain, and said coldly, "With your little skill, you're far inferior to your Maoshan patriarch!"

Kui Kui, inside the snake coffin, suddenly heard a strange, raucous laugh behind him. He turned around abruptly and saw more than a dozen blue-faced, fanged demons appear behind him.

Without further hesitation, she ran straight into the passageway.

At the end of the passageway stands a temporary palace.

In the very center of the palace, a large black snake coiled, its eyes closed, as if it were asleep.

Beside the giant serpent was a golden bed frame, covered with a bed sheet embroidered with peonies and butterflies in gold thread.

When Kui Kui barged into the palace, the first thing he saw was that it was vulgar, so vulgar that he wanted to look away immediately.

However, the man lying on the bed held her gaze captive.

The man was about twenty years old and wore a black brocade ancient robe, on which a four-clawed golden dragon was embroidered with gold thread.

His black clothes made his snow-white skin stand out, so white it looked like a sheet of paper, clean, fragile, and lifeless.

He lay there quietly with his hands folded over his abdomen, it was unclear whether he was asleep or dead.

Although her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were long and curled, and her features seemed to have been sculpted by God himself, with sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose, and resolute thin lips.

Kui Kui was secretly alarmed, wondering if the man she had been dreaming about all these years was the same man standing before her.

In that moment of distraction, the dozen or so evil spirits chasing her had already reached the palace gate, but they seemed to be wary of something and did not enter.

Kui Kui also came to her senses and, in this moment of respite, took out the prepared yellow talisman from her bag.

She bit her index finger, dipped it in cinnabar, and drew an extremely intricate pattern on the talisman in one go.

He held the talisman between his slender fingers, condensed a wisp of energy, attached it to the yellow talisman, and then threw it out.

When the yellow talisman came into contact with the evil spirit, it suddenly exploded, and one of the evil spirits immediately dispersed into black mist, never to be able to coalesce again.

Fortunately, the exorcism talisman her father taught her worked, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the evil spirit that had been lingering just moments before smelled Kui Kui's blood and immediately became excited, charging towards her without regard for anything else.

The man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes; his golden eyes had a vertical pupil.
