After walking in complete darkness for about 15 minutes, things gradually became clearer. Although it was still dark, at least they could see their surroundings.
This was a desolate wasteland, completely empty. High mountains could be seen in the distance, but there were no trees. Despite having traveled this far, it felt as if they had been suddenly transported to another world. Looking back, the dark River Styx had vanished without a trace. The chilling aura surrounding them had disappeared, replaced by a violent and turbulent presence; clearly, they had arrived in the Demon Realm.
With a thought, Youyou subconsciously sensed the three volumes of Yin within her body. Sure enough, the next moment she felt a similar sensation coming from her right front, as if something was pulling her there.
"The remaining two volumes of the Yin Scrolls should be in that direction," she said, pointing to the direction of the pull. The Underworld Envoy was right; as long as they were in the same realm, the Yin Scrolls could indeed sense each other.
“There are signs of demonic energy gathering over there.” Feng Rong glanced over and frowned. “It seems there are quite a few demons over there. We need to be careful.” After saying that, he subconsciously grabbed You You’s hand and pulled her closer.
"Hmm." You You nodded and was about to summon his spirit sword.
"Wait a minute!" Yuan Qi stopped the two of them. "This is the Demon Realm, Feng Rong. Our divine power is too obvious. It would be inappropriate to go over like this. It would be better to hide." After he finished speaking, he cast a few more concealment spells.
Sure enough, the faint divine power on him and Feng Rong disappeared the next moment, and with the surrounding demonic energy, they looked no different from ordinary demons.
"As for Xiaoyou..." After casting the spell, he looked at Youyou again, thought for a moment and said, "Although your spiritual energy is not obvious, your identity as a woman is still too conspicuous. Do you have the communication pendant I gave you with you?"
"Oh, here it is!" Youyou pulled it out directly from her collar.
Yuan Qi didn't let her take it off, and took it directly. He didn't know what he touched, but the next moment a small magic circle lit up on the pendant. A flash of white light enveloped her whole body. The next moment, You You clearly felt that something covered her body, her vision suddenly rose a few degrees, and even the clothes she was wearing were visibly shorter.
Youyou subconsciously touched her chest and found it flat. "I've turned into a man?" Even her height is about the same as the two of them now.
"It's just a transformation technique," Yuan Qi explained. "However, this technique relies on the magic array on this pendant, so Xiao You must remember not to take it off."
"Understood!" You You nodded, then put the pendant back in. She touched her suddenly protruding Adam's apple with some curiosity, then pressed her flat chest, finally stopping at her abdomen. Wow, eight-pack abs, perfect! She glanced down at her clothes, which were a bit too short, and immediately said, "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to change." If she was going to pretend, she might as well do it convincingly.
After saying that, she immediately took out a set of white clothes from her storage bag. The long robe with wide sleeves was plain and elegant, and it was obviously men's clothing.
The two of them froze instantly.
"How come there are men's clothes in your storage bag?" Feng Rong immediately exploded, grabbing the clothes from her hand, about to ask for details, but then she noticed the very obvious flame pattern on the cuff and froze. "Huh, this... isn't this my clothes?"
How did his clothes end up in Youyou's storage bag?!
Could it be...?
Instantly, various small images played in his mind, and the anger that had just risen was extinguished in an instant. Instead, another fire ignited in his heart, instantly making his face turn red. I never thought you were like this, Youyou!
“Yes!” You You nodded generously, not giving him a chance to continue his imagination. “This was made for you by Aunt Rong when she was learning handicrafts from Aunt Lin. Didn’t you say you didn’t want it because you thought the color was ugly? So she asked me to give it to you. Not only you, but also Yuan’s father, Lin Feng, and Ling Qi have some. I haven’t had time to send them to them yet. You can borrow it for now and return it to me when we get back.”
"..." *Sizzle*, Feng Rong's passion died down.
"If you mind, how about I wear Yuan Qi's outfit?" You You readily stuffed the clothes back in, seemingly wanting to take out something else; her father had the most, four or five sets!
"No!" Before she could finish speaking, Feng Rong swiftly grabbed her hand and said, "Wear this outfit, only this one!"
Youyou: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
Youyou quickly changed her clothes before heading towards the direction of the Yin Book she sensed with the two others. Initially, she was a little worried that her body, which automatically shielded her from demonic energy, might reveal her identity.
But she soon discovered that this time the demonic energy was very obedient; it didn't automatically retreat several feet away the moment she moved. Her special passive skill seemed to allow her to control it; as long as she didn't actively try to isolate herself from the demonic energy, it wouldn't retreat too far. With Yuan Qi and Feng Rong by her side, the difference became even less noticeable.
The three flew towards the right and soon came upon a demon city. A large number of demons had gathered there, and their bustling activity could be heard from afar. The demon city resembled a large metropolis, its interior filled with soaring demonic energy, and tens of thousands of demons were coming and going.
Something big seemed to be happening in the city. From afar, one could see a brightly lit city, and long queues had formed at the city gates, with many demons waiting to enter.
Youyou could sense that the Yin Book was inside the city, but the surrounding demonic energy was so mixed that she couldn't pinpoint its exact location.
The three exchanged a glance, flew down, and, with perfect understanding, found a shorter queue and joined the back, waiting to enter the city.
This was the first time Youyou had been immersed in such a dense and mixed demonic energy, especially with the stench of decay and putrefaction emanating from ahead, which deeply worried her about the living conditions in the demon realm. Seriously, are the public health conditions in the demon realm really this bad?
"Go away, where did this carrion-eating demon come from?" As if in response to her question, a demon who looked like a guard suddenly walked up and dragged a ragged demon in front of the three of them away, saying angrily, "Don't you know what day it is today? How dare you enter the city? Get out of here, or I'll destroy your demonic energy."
"My lord, I have come here specifically to deliver a congratulatory gift to the city lord..." The demon seemed to be in a hurry and wanted to say something.
But the guard gave him no chance, kicking him dozens of meters away. "The city lord has decreed that lowly demons like you are not allowed to enter the city during festivals. If you want the city lord's celebratory gifts, wait until you become a high-level demon, hmph!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, which immediately summoned a gust of wind that sent the demons on the ground flying.
Almost at the same moment the demon disappeared, Youyou felt the air instantly become clear, and the stench of decay vanished. The smell had originally been emanating from the demon itself.
Youyou: "..."
Well, she was wrong; at least the Demon Realm has its own city management officials.
