Chapter 245
Ying Ning turned her head slightly, and the person beside her had not changed much over the past hundred years.
Qi Lianzhi wore a rather long, ornate robe with animal totems on the lapel. Standing there, he exuded a more majestic air, his unrestrained and stunning beauty even more striking.
However, a fussy fox-shaped bell adorned his narrow waist, which seemed utterly inappropriate for his current status.
The fiery red spirit stone inside the bell flashed slightly, but no one noticed.
Qi Lianzhi appeared here, his imposing aura descending suddenly. Only when his gaze settled on the misty robe did he speak leisurely:
"You two have trespassed into my realm. Is it for the sake of the reincarnation of a demon?"
"I remember what happened in the demon realm."
"It is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld."
Qi Lianzhi's voice was calm, but the oppressive aura around him revealed his dissatisfaction.
With just one glance, he knew where Ying Ning and the other person came from.
Bai Xie raised the tail fan in his hand, intending to brush away the oppressive aura, but his face gradually turned pale, clearly indicating that he was not able to resist such an oppressive aura.
Then, Bai Xie actually bowed deeply and spoke without any backbone:
"Nature does not return."
"I am a member of the Underworld Palace, and I have come to the Demon Realm on the orders of the Palace Master."
"My trespassing into the barrier today was unintentional, please do not take it to heart, Venerable One."
Qi Lianzhi did not speak again.
Bai Xie glanced at Ying Ning and then spoke:
"This kind of pressure is barely bearable for me, but my mother-in-law who came with me is old and really can't stand it. I hope you will withdraw your pressure."
Bai Xie's ability to change his stance according to the wind has always been renowned.
Qi Lianzhi's gaze had been fixed on Ying Ning, and whether it was Bai Xie's words that had an effect or not, he pondered for a moment and then withdrew his oppressive aura.
His crimson robe added even more radiance to his beautiful face.
Qi Lianzhi stared at Ying Ning's misty ghost robe. Although he couldn't see her face under the hood, he didn't withdraw his probing gaze.
The fox-like beauty's every smile and frown is like a magnificent scroll slowly unfolding.
"It seems you're not the rat I'm meant to catch."
His extremely tall stature and his lowered, deep-set eyes inevitably gave him a sense of indifference that seemed to detach him from the world.
"so..."
Who exactly are you...?
His words were meant for Yingning.
Qi Lianzhi circled around Ying Ning, seemingly very curious about her identity. When she didn't respond, he reached out to tear off her misty robe.
A wisp of murky ghostly energy instantly wrapped around his exquisitely beautiful fingertips.
In a short while, Qi Lianzhi's fingertips showed signs of turning black.
"A divine artifact?" he asked in surprise.
wrong.
Qi Lianzhi discovered that the strange ghost robe worn by the person opposite him actually only had a faint aura of a divine artifact, indicating that fragments of a divine artifact had been incorporated into this magical artifact.
Bai Xie, standing to the side, looked astonished and indifferent upon hearing the words "divine artifact."
Yingning made a hand seal, and that wisp of ghostly energy vanished without a trace:
"I am merely a servant of the Underworld, of insignificant status. My disturbance to Your Excellency was entirely unintentional."
"The so-called divine artifact..."
"How could such an unprecedented and extraordinary spiritual object be something that an old man like me could possibly witness?"
......
Qi Lianzhi ignored Ying Ning's words, seemingly no longer caring about the matter of divine artifacts. Instead, he picked up the sleeve scorched by that wisp of ghostly energy and feigned concern, saying:
"What a pity about this gilded auspicious beast robe; I quite liked it."
"This is the first time I've worn this."
He flicked his sleeve, and before anyone knew it:
"It was you who destroyed it."
"Then you'll have to compensate me."
Qi Lianzhi looked at Ying Ning with an unfathomable gaze.
At the border of the demon realm, three people stood.
A gentle breeze swept by, stirring up a few dusty fallen leaves.
A hundred years may seem short to them, or perhaps too long, as they have been wandering and searching for their path.
Too much entanglement with the past...
In the end, someone remembers.

The main palace of the demon realm.
Three days have passed since Yingning and Bai Xie arrived in the demon realm, and they have not seen Qilian Zhi again. However, they have overheard several palace guards whispering that a great disturbance has broken out in the territory of the Kong Xuan clan.
The leaders of various tribes came to the main palace, hoping to find a solution.
The palace was filled with fallen leaves, creating a desolate scene reminiscent of the mortal world.
"The tastes of this Chongming bird clan are indeed refined; they love the Qiongchi Pond."
Bai Xie seemed quite satisfied with the "residence" arranged by Qi Lianzhi. The two of them had secretly broken into the demon realm's barrier that day and were "invited" by Qi Lianzhi to the main palace, where they rested for a few days.
Bai Xie would sit by the Qiongchi Pond all day, constantly talking.
He picked some strange fruit from somewhere and threw it all into the Qiongchi Pool, making the little demon fish at the bottom of the pool dizzy.
"Grandma Meng, aren't you curious about the affairs of the demon realm?"
"The demon realm is in chaos, and racial conflicts are common."
Yingning picked up a leaf from the chessboard and spun it in mid-air.
The next instant, he was smashed to the bottom of the pool by a fruit.
Bai Xie, perhaps having grown tired of playing, slowly said:
"The Kong family has been living in seclusion in the mountains for a thousand years since their defeat in the great war. It is quite strange that they are making a fuss now."
“Hidden Mountain is not some sacred mountain.”
"Granny Meng, tell me, why did the Kong family choose to retreat to the mountains back then?"
Bai Xie only heard Ying Ning's emotionless, aged voice:
"I'm here to find Huang Ling. The rest is none of your business."
Bai Xie didn't say anything more.
Before long, he seemed to have a new interest and instantly appeared at the opposite seat on the chessboard.
Bai Xie sat up, her snow-white hair falling lightly down her back:
"That day, my mother-in-law said that she was ugly."
