This was clearly his first time in the underworld, yet he felt no fear whatsoever. He even felt a sense of familiarity?
Shen Bai didn't quite understand this feeling; he just wanted to go inside and take a look as soon as possible.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Shen Bai walked ahead first, followed by Ox-Head and Horse-Face. The guards on both sides were stunned when they saw the newcomers.
So he bowed respectfully.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face were dumbfounded.
Although they were the chief judges, in the past, when they came, these two ghosts would ask them what they were there for and make them show their identity tokens.
But not only did they fail to stop him today, they even bowed to him?
Strange, why is this happening?
Just as Ox-Head was about to ask a question, Horse-Face pulled Ox-Head and Shen Bai inside.
"Perfect timing! I was worried they wouldn't let Xiaobai in, but they're being so accommodating."
Shen Bai ignored them and followed them inside. He didn't see King Qin Guang, but he felt a great sense of familiarity with the place.
Outside the gate, the two guards exchanged a glance, unable to resist gossiping:
"Now that Immortal Lord Baiyue has returned, shouldn't our Great Emperor return as well?"
Baiyue Xianjun is the youngest son of Taiyang Xingjun and Taiyin Xingjun.
However, both star lords were very busy, so they entrusted Xiao Baiyue to Mingyue Immortal Lord, who was also Xiao Baiyue's older brother.
However, Immortal Lord Mingyue entrusted his little brother to the Great Emperor of Dongyue and went out to play.
From then on, their Dongyue Palace had one more little ancestor.
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak holds his little ancestor almost every day and does everything personally.
All the ghosts had to cater to this little tyrant. In order not to frighten him, the little ghosts had to keep their heads down and not look at him whenever he was around.
Especially Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Black and White Impermanence—these four looked so strange that when the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak was around, he wouldn't even let them come up.
Unfortunately, Immortal Lord Baiyue's primordial spirit was incomplete, and the reason for its incompleteness is unknown. Later, it was taken back by the Star Lord Taiyin.
They guessed that the Eastern Peak Emperor had disappeared probably to go find that little ancestor.
"But didn't our little ancestor return? What about our Great Emperor?"
The other ghost shook its head helplessly: "I don't know."
Shen Bai walked into the yard and saw a swing. For some reason, he walked over and started playing on it.
When the bull-headed man saw this, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Xiaobai, this isn't something we can play with. This belongs to that person."
He looked around and, seeing that no ghosts came out to drive them away, felt a little relieved.
"Who? Who?"
Shen Bai was confused, but he didn't want to get off the swing, acting as if it were his own.
The horse-faced demon immediately came over:
“I know that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak once raised a little immortal, but he was taken away later.”
"That little immortal lord often runs away from home. The Great Emperor cherishes him like the apple of his eye, and everything here belongs to him."
Niu Tou pointed to the toys and furnishings in the yard, then suddenly realized:
"Huh? Isn't this area supposed to be closed? How did we get in?"
Ever since that person was taken away, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak had this place sealed off. Why were they able to enter today?
Horse-face was also confused, but remained vigilant, not wanting other ghosts to come out and scare Little White.
Little White is so cute, what's wrong with playing with it for a while?
"Little Immortal Lord? Is he handsome?"
Shen Bai became curious, but also felt a little empty inside.
"We have never seen what that little immortal looks like."
The two ghosts shook their heads.
Chen Bai stood up from the swing and sighed softly:
"Never mind, let's go."
He felt a pang of sadness.
Suddenly, a tall figure flashed through my mind. The person was wearing a black robe with cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread, and a golden hair crown. His face... I couldn't see his face clearly.
But Shen Bai was certain that he knew this person very well.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face continued to lead him around, and they discovered that there were no ghosts coming out to stop them today.
"Are all the kids here slacking off and not on duty?"
Horse-face couldn't help but mutter to himself, and then a ghost suddenly appeared in front of him.
The ghost's head was almost touching the ground as it whispered:
"We didn't slack off."
The voice even had a twitch, as if afraid of startling someone, leaving the Ox-Head and Horse-Face looking completely bewildered.
However, the ghost disappeared quickly, probably keeping watch in the shadows.
Shen Bai felt this scene was very familiar, and his heart felt even more heavy.
After wandering around with the two ghosts for a long time, Shen Bai finished his juice and instinctively found the little rabbit trash can in the grass.
"How did you know this was a trash can? I was wondering why there were no trash cans whenever I came to Dongyue Palace. So this is what it is."
Like naive little devils who have never seen the world, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face followed Shen Bai and discovered many unique things in the courtyard.
Shen Bai smiled and suddenly saw a door.
This is the main courtyard. They don't know how they got in, and these ghost messengers didn't even stop them.
In fact, neither the two ghosts nor the human knew that this was the main courtyard; they even thought it was an ordinary courtyard.
Until Shen Bai opened that door.
The huge desk was piled with various documents, and the bookshelves next to it were filled with children's toys and books.
What's most shocking is the painting on the wall, which clearly depicts a tall man holding a small boy in his arms.
The young boy had a handsome face and exquisite features, his peach blossom eyes looking ahead with a bewildered expression.
The man in black robes looked down at the young boy, his eyes filled with doting affection.
As Shen Bai looked at this scene, his eyes became confused. He stood blankly in front of the painting, and some images suddenly flashed through his mind.

"The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak? You are my brother's destined partner?"
The domineering young master, Mingyue Immortal Lord, arrived at Dongyue Palace carrying his one-year-old brother, Xiaobaiyue, and questioned the stern-faced man in an interrogative tone.
"How dare you! Where did this child come from? Throw him out!"
The man shouted angrily and tried to throw the person out, but Immortal Lord Mingyue took out a marriage certificate from his bosom and threw it directly on the desk of Emperor Dongyue.
"Still not admitting it? The two of you were told by the Divine Tree a few days ago that you are destined to be together. You can't escape it. The Old Man of the Moon has tied your red thread tightly. You can't deny it."
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak frowned and with a wave of his hand, he sent the Immortal Lord Mingyue away.
However, before Mingyue Xianjun flew away, she threw the child in her arms into the arms of Dongyue Dadi.
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak had a gloomy face, and even a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
But she still picked up the marriage certificate on the table to examine it.
Since the heavenly rules were changed, gods can also form couples, but they must be witnessed by the divine tree.
However, if the compatibility between two deities is high, the divine tree can also detect it and connect the two deities with their marriage bond.
And so, the "old man" Dongyue Emperor, who was almost as old as the heavens, inexplicably gained a companion who was a year older—Baiyue Immortal Lord.
