Demon world, night

Thousands of lights illuminated the entire Eternal Night City. Magnificent fireworks bloomed continuously under the night sky, and the hustle and bustle in the city never stopped for a moment.

Ning Yechen held Luo Ruying's hand and carried Luo Hongye, who was already tired from playing, as they walked towards the Demon God's Palace.

When passing a fork in the road, Ning Yechen turned his head and looked at the hillside at the end of the road.

The hillside was filled with miasma, which was eerie and strange. Through the dark green miasma, one could see countless graves lining the hilltops. The whole mountain exuded a strong atmosphere of ominousness and terror.

"What's wrong, husband?"

Luo Ruying asked Ning Yechen who was looking at the hillside curiously.

"Madam, please take the child back first."

"I will go visit the corpse master."

Ning Yechen said to Luo Ruying beside him.

If there is no special summons, Shikigami basically stays on the mountain of graves and never goes out.

Since he returned to the demon world, Shiguitian has only come out twice.

Once, when he heard that he was married and had a daughter, he came out of retirement to congratulate him.

The second time was when I heard that he was going to lead the army of demons into the fairyland, and I came upon hearing the summons.

The rest of the time he never left his grave.

On such a rare day of celebration, it is too boring to be alone on the lonely hill of graves.

So Ning Yechen planned to ask him to come out.

Hearing Ning Yeche say that Shi Guitian lived in this eerie and strange grave mountain, Luo Ruying couldn't help but feel surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Then I will go with you, my husband."

Having been in the demon world for so long, she has become quite familiar with and understanding of all the ghosts.

But she still didn't know anything about Shikigami.

There are very few opportunities to see him in normal times.

Since Ning Yechen wanted to visit Shiguitian, she also wanted to accompany him to take a look.

Ning Yechen thought about it and nodded.

"Well, then you can go with me, my husband."

After saying that, Ning Yechen took Luo Ruying's hand and walked towards the grave mountain.

On the hillside, there were countless graves on both sides of the forest road. The thick miasma mixed with the fog, making it almost impossible to see clearly ahead.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was so eerie and silent that it felt as if something would crawl out of the tomb at any moment.

It is rumored that anyone who entered this cemetery without permission has never returned, and a new grave will appear on the cemetery!

Over time, the reputation of this cemetery in the demon world became second only to that palace of punishment!

Almost no one in Yongye City dared to approach this mountain of graves.

"Husband, does the old man live in a place like this?"

Luo Ruying looked around the gloomy and terrifying environment of the Western Zhou Dynasty and could not tell that this was a place where people could live.

"Well, Old Corpse has been in this graveyard for nearly 100,000 years..."

"It is said that he built this mountain of graves by piling up graves one by one."

Ning Yechen led Luo Ruying forward and replied with a smile.

When he heard the number one hundred thousand years, Luo Ruying was suddenly shocked.

One hundred thousand years!

He actually stayed on this graveyard for such a long time? !

"My dear, why is the old man staying on this mountain of graves?"

Luo Ruying asked curiously.

She couldn't think of anything worth staying here for a hundred thousand years.

Ning Yechen pondered for a moment and explained:

"I also heard it from Qingyou."

"I heard that Mr. Shi had a daughter a long time ago..."

"He is staying here to atone for his sins and to protect his daughter..."

"Atonement...?"

Luo Ruying murmured in confusion.

While they were talking, the two of them had already stepped into a cemetery.

Looking around, there are still endless tombs here.

After walking for a while, I saw a hunched figure sitting in front of two graves, staring blankly at the end of the cemetery.

"Old Corpse."

Ning Yechen greeted as he walked over.

"Master Demon, Madam, this is not the place for you to come."

"You shouldn't bring your noble little princess to a place like this."

Shiguitian turned around and spoke in a low and vicissitudes tone of voice in reproach.

Although Ning Yechen completely protected Luo Hongye in his arms from the erosion of miasma, the cemetery was not a good place after all and was not suitable for a child to arrive.

"Grandpa Corpse~"

Luo Hongye lay in Ning Yechen's arms, turned around and called out in a soft and tender voice.

The word "Grandpa Corpse" immediately startled Shi Guitian's expression. A glimmer of light appeared in his dull eyes, and a smile appeared on his face. He completely forgot that he was just blaming Ning Yechen for bringing the child to such a place...

Shi Guitian quickly turned over his body and looked for the remaining candies he had given to Luo Hongye before. He carefully reached out in front of Luo Hongye, afraid to touch her.

"Thank you, Grandpa Corpse~"

Luo Hongye held the candy in both hands and expressed his gratitude in a sweet voice.

Shi Guitian smiled repeatedly on his bandaged face, and turned to Ning Yechen and said gratefully:

"Thank you, Master Demon..."

He felt very satisfied to be able to see the petite and lovely Luo Hongye.

"Since Mr. Corpse likes children so much, why don't you come out?"

Ning Yechen asked.

Upon hearing this, Shigui Tian fell silent, looked back at the two graves behind him, and said firmly:

"I am atonement..."

"I will not leave here until I have atone for my sins."

"The day of my celebration will be in a few days, and you don't plan to come out to celebrate for me?"

Ning Yechen joked.

Shikigami looked hesitant and fell silent.

"Grandpa Corpse, it's cold and quiet here. Won't you feel lonely here alone?"

"Let's go out and play with Ye Ye~"

“There are so many people outside, and so much food~”

"You can take Grandpa Corpse to find something delicious every night~"

Luo Hongye spoke to the corpse ghost Tian Nuonuo happily, and shared with him some food he bought on the road.

Shi Guitian reached out and took the snacks given by Luo Hongye. His eyes were moist and his expression was lost in deep memories and thoughts.

"Grandpa Corpse, why are you crying..."

"Did Ye Ye do something wrong...?"

Luo Hongye's face was full of worry, and she turned around to look at Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying with some self-blame.

I always feel like she caused Grandpa to cry...

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying touched Luo Hongye’s little head lovingly.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Corpse is happy."

“Really…?”

Luo Hongye asked worriedly.

Shiguitian nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, little princess. I am just happy to receive your gift..."

"Then come visit Grandpa Corpse every night and bring other delicious food~!"

When Luo Hongye heard this, her face lit up with joy.

Shi Guitian looked at the snacks in his hand, then turned his head to look at Ning Yechen.

"Master Demon, on the day of the celebration, I will go to congratulate you as promised."

"That's right~"

"Then I will take my leave first."

"Don't forget to keep your appointment."

Ning Yechen smiled slightly, then turned around and left with Luo Hongye and Luo Ruying in his arms.

"Goodbye, Grandpa Corpse~"

Luo Hongye lay on Ning Yechen's shoulder and waved goodbye.

Shigui Tianye slowly raised his hand and waved, watching Luo Hongye disappear from his sight, then reluctantly turned around and looked at a smaller grave behind him...
