“Big sister, help me!”

Suddenly, the sound of a young boy pleading for help was heard from within the misty forest.

Liu Rushuang’s ears twitched, as she turned her around and flew towards a very tall tree, where there was a seven or eight-year-old boy wrapped around the tree. She grabbed the boy and flew down from halfway up the tree.

The boy had chubby cheeks, big eyes and looked really cute. After he was set down onto the ground, he immediately hugged Liu Rushuang’s thigh and cried. “Big sister, let’s get out of here together! It’s really scary!” He pleaded.

Liu Rushuang stroked the boy’s head and comforted him. “Don’t be afraid. I’ve shooed the baddies away.”

Liu Rushuang calmed the boy down, then ordered the shadow guards and a.s.sa.s.sins, “Safely escort this kid back. I’m moving on alone.”

“Milady, that won’t do! I want to go with you for protection!” Mo Ye cried anxiously.

“You guys should head back. I have my reasons for not allowing you all to come with me,” Liu Rushuang said with determination.

The group hesitated for a moment, but escorted the boy back.

Liu Rushuang furrowed her brows, then continued onward.

She could feel that there were a lot more zombies up ahead.

As expected, she soon came up against another wave of emerging zombies. With the Flames of the Scorching Era, she easily put an end to the zombies.

Thereafter, wave after wave of zombies appeared. Liu Rushuang quickly killed to make a path ahead and flew forward.

After going up against the zombies for over half an hour, Liu Rushuang finally stepped out of the forest.

“Shuang’er, you’ve worked hard!” Han Moze said, as he stood beside Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang looked over at the glowing white Han Moze and pulled a faint smile. “Ze, if it’s for you, a little hard work is nothing.”

H looked at Liu Rushuang with a warm smile, then they looked out into the spectacular view in front of them.

Dusk fell.

There was a path to a short mountain range in front of them. The top of the mountain was covered in b.l.o.o.d.y-looking red spider lilies of around half a foot tall.

“Ze, we’ll be able to see the River of Forgetfulness after this mountain range. The River of Forgetfulness runs all the way to the underworld. Ghosts are on that river, so we’ll be able to see Le Zhengyu very soon.”

Han Moze walked towards the mountain range. “Shuang’er, Le Zhengyu seems to have changed,” said H in a flat voice and a grin on his face.

“Changed?”

“Yes. You’ll understand when you see him in a minute.”

Liu Rushuang blinked her eyes in confusion but didn’t utter a word. Then, she walked up the mountain range with Han Moze.

All they could see was a black river not too far from where they were. It was three feet wide and there was a thin layer of fog.

There were countless glowing white souls on either side of the river.

On the river, there was a person dressed in red with black hair that flowed behind them and down to their waist. She could only see the silhouette of his back.

That person stood on a black boat, rowing to deliver a soul to the underworld.

Liu Rushuang and Han Moze quietly walked over to the River of Forgetfulness.

The person on the boat stiffly turned their head.

Liu Rushuang’s eyes widened. That was clearly an incredibly cute girl with straight bangs who looked just like Le Zhengyu!

The girl stopped the boat and told Liu Rushuang with an emotionless look on their face. “Your soul is really beautiful!”

“Why did you pull out the emperor of Beiming’s soul? What is your motive?” Asked Liu Rushuang coldly.

The girl remained impa.s.sive as she stared at Liu Rushuang with her big eyes. “Have you ever heard of the birth of twin red spider lilies?” She said in a melodic voice.

“I know. What are you trying to say?” said Liu Rushuang in a flat voice with slightly furrowed brows.

A hint of evil intention seemed to appear upon the woman’s emotionless face. “The demon master threatened me with the twin birth on my younger brother’s soul to take the emperor of Beiming’s soul and an entry to reincarnation. I promised to do it for him.”
