Wen Qi glanced at the ring and held it tightly as if afraid it would be snatched away, "I didn't steal it. My husband gave it to me and I recognize him as his master."

"Husband?" Emperor Fengdu repeated in confusion, and then said: "Impossible, I made it myself, and I can only use it, not recognize its master." As he said that, he raised his hand, but to his surprise, the ring on the woman's hand only lit up for a moment, and then there was no reaction.

Emperor Fengdu stared at the ring, pursed his lips and said, "It is indeed made by me."

Wen Qi nodded, "Not only was it made by you, it was also the first ring you made. You later modified it and made it into a key to the gate."

The Emperor of Fengdu finally shifted his gaze to Wen Qi's face, his expression slightly gloomy, "Who are you?"

Wen Qi took a deep breath and said word by word: "I am your future wife. If you don't understand what wife means, do you understand what wife means? Or partner, soul mate? The most important other half in life is the person you swore in front of the World Tree to share your life with me and spend the rest of your life with me... ghost!"

Emperor Fengdu understood, but he felt it was impossible. "Ridiculous!"

Wen Qi took a tentative step towards him, and when he found that he had no reaction, he bravely continued to move forward until he was three steps away from him before he was separated by an invisible wall of air.

Wen Qi curled her lips and stopped, then raised the ring on her hand to show him, "Take a closer look, is this the first ring you made? You are talking to me, you have made many rings as credentials for the ghosts of Fengdu to enter and leave Fengdu, but only the first ring has your unique seal." She extended her hand forward again, "Do you dare to open it and try?"

The Emperor of Fengdu's eyes flashed, "No need."

Wen Qi was a little anxious, "You didn't even try, what right do you have to say I'm ridiculous!"

"I believe it." Emperor Fengdu said calmly, "I'm the only one who knows about the seal on the ring." In other words, this woman couldn't have obtained this information from anywhere else, the only possibility was himself.

Wen Qi blinked, "You believe it so easily?"

The King of Fengdu thought about it, looked at her again, and probably felt that it was too easy, so he simply waved his hand and brought her to the World Tree.

Fengdu Emperor: "Whether in the past or in the future, the World Tree is the foundation of this world. Therefore, anyone who swears in the name of the World Tree will leave a mark on the tree's crown."

He looked at the woman who claimed to be his partner. "Now admit that you are lying and return the ring to me, and I will forgive you. If you are exposed by me, I will make you live a life worse than death."

Wen Qi took a step back and made a gesture of invitation, "Look, you can look as much as you want. I kindly remind you that you have sworn more than one oath, so take your time and look carefully."

The King of Fengdu looked at her steadily, then flew up along the tree trunk.

Wen Qi sat cross-legged under the tree, looking up at his gradually shrinking figure, muttering to himself: "It's better not to miss any of them, otherwise I will be embarrassed to lose my temper."

After a while, the King of Fengdu finally came down from the tree and stood in front of Wen Qi, looking down at her with a complicated expression and a hint of inquiry in his eyes - what was the charm of this female ghost that made him swear one oath after another?

Wen Qi asked curiously: "How many did you see?"

The King of Fengdu tilted his head, "One. I did share the rest of my life with you, but you also made the same vow."

Wen Qi snorted, "It's better if you only saw one."

The King of Fengdu did not respond. He waved his hand and they returned to the hall.

The hall was still the same hall that Wen Qi was familiar with. She was a little dazed and thought she had returned ten thousand years later. But when she turned around and saw the cold expression of Emperor Fengdu, she woke up instantly.

Wen Qi walked towards the gate unhappily.

The Emperor of Fengdu asked, "Where are you going?"

The King of Fengdu then remembered that there was indeed a dog standing next to Wen Qi, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time and didn't know that they were together.

After walking out of the hall, Wen Qi was slightly stunned. This was the first time she saw Fengdu's appearance.

The main hall was built at a relatively high position above the foot of the mountain, with neat rows of houses and streets below. There were vendors selling goods on the roadside, people playing at street corners, and even smoke rising from chimneys on the roofs.

If she hadn't known for sure that this was the underworld, she would have suspected that this was an ordinary ancient city in the world of the living.

Obviously, ghosts don't need to eat! Wen Qi shook her head and sensed the position of Taotie as she walked. Fortunately, the latter was not stupid and was also approaching her at full speed.

More than half an hour later, the man and the dog met on a street in Fengdu.

Wen Qi patted its head and said, "Let's go find Liu Ran first, and then find Ming Ren."

Wen Qi was not too worried about Mingren. The main purpose of Paper Man Puppetry was to cultivate the soul. Without the constraints of the body, his strength might increase significantly.

But Liu Ran can't do that. Liu Ran's strength comes from the poisonous insect. Without the poisonous insect, her soul is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person. If she is really plotted against by a malicious ghost, she will have almost no ability to resist.

Taotie ran very fast on the street, and Wen Qi followed behind with a serious look. After crossing the main street and turning into an alley, Taotie stopped in front of a wooden fence and barked at the gate with a red lantern.

Wen Qi looked up and her face changed drastically. This is the wedding room! Could Liu Ran be forced to marry someone in the afterlife? If this really happened, she couldn't go back even if she found the person! Without thinking too much, she kicked the door open. After a loud bang, she stepped in and was not surprised to see the expressionless ghosts in the yard.

If it were someone else, their legs would probably go limp with fear, but Wen Qi ignored it and ran straight to the wedding hall. Taotie even rushed over and took off the bride's veil with one leap.

Wen Qi looked closely and saw that it was indeed Liu Ran! She ran over in two or three steps and nervously checked back and forth. After confirming that Liu Ran and the groom had not tied the red string, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she realized that something was wrong with Liu Ran in front of her. Why didn't she say a word for a long time? It was a bit like... being frozen? Wen Qi frowned slightly, raised her hand and tore off Liu Ran's wedding dress. Sure enough, she saw the soul-fixing talisman written with Yin Qi on her chest and back. She sighed and raised her hand to summon Taotie, "Eat this talisman."

Taotie was in a bit of a dilemma, as the rune and Liu Ran's soul were fused together. If he wanted to get rid of the rune, he would definitely hurt Liu Ran.

Wen Qi naturally knew this, "You should become smaller and minimize the damage. You don't have to eat it all, just let it lose its effect."

Taotie suddenly had a flash of inspiration and immediately became half the size of a palm. Like a tightly fitted eraser, it began to eat along the patterns on the talisman.

Originally, the groom and the guests in the hall had no reaction, just staring at Wen Qi and Taotie indifferently. But when Taotie began to devour the soul-fixing talisman, they instantly exploded! One by one, they all lost their human form and pounced on Wen Qi in strange shapes.

Wen Qi snorted coldly, raised his hand and summoned a soul-destroying thunder, which struck the groom's feet with a "crack". The spreading lightning energy made the surrounding ghosts scream miserably.

The next second, the ghosts that were an eyesore all returned to their human form, and even their expressions were not so dull anymore. They all looked at each other with embarrassment.

Wen Qi warned coldly: "I will chop anyone who dares to come close!"

The groom was also afraid, but he didn't want his soon-to-be-married wife to run away, so he could only kneel on the ground and shout loudly: "Please, Emperor Fengdu, make the decision for me!"

Wen Qi curled his lips and sneered, thinking, the King of Fengdu is so busy that he doesn’t have time to care about your affairs.

Just as the thought came to mind, the figure of Fengdu Emperor appeared beside the groom and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Wen Qi's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he realized belatedly that the underworld hasn't been built yet, and the underworld hasn't been unified yet. The King of Fengdu only has to take care of the small piece of land of Fengdu, so isn't he just very idle?
