A Deeper Hell

When you've gotten used to a woman being a tough, independent woman for a long time, and she's always been like a brother to you without any formality, if one day she suddenly acts all sweet and affectionate with you, you absolutely won't be able to handle it.

Xiao Ran conducted the experiment himself.

Moreover, Master's figure and appearance have completely reverted to that of a young girl of similar age to him.

Who can withstand this?

Don't say that, Master. I'm not that kind of person.

I want to take advantage of the deals, but I don't want to...

It's not that I don't want to, the key is, I don't get points for other things!

Don't blame the apprentice for being inhuman; blame the system for being too alluring.

Xiao Ran, with a stern face, retorted, "What do you like?"

The young girl, Lingzhou Yue, suppressed a sweet smile, circled around to Xiao Ran's front, and spun around in place, her figure as graceful as a flower in full bloom, her tightly wrapped blue dress revealing her extremely proud figure.

Do you like this outfit?

That broad chest, that exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio, those long, straight legs that taper from thick to thin...

Xiao Ran almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in.

Are you showing off your outfit?

A thousand words flashed through my mind to cover it up, but when the words reached my lips, all I heard was a simple, honest reply—

"Like."

Lingzhou Yue rolled her eyes at Xiao Ran, her demeanor instantly returning to normal.

"Are men's brains all mush? This tattered clothing is choking me."

As she spoke, she unbuttoned her coat as if no one else was around, fanned herself with her hand to let the sweat from her chest breathe, and exuded a body fragrance that was a mixture of wine and medicine.

"This is the right design!"

Xiao Ran couldn't bear to look, thinking, "Why didn't you put a slit in the waistband and leg?" "Oh, right!"

Lingzhou Yue had a sudden inspiration and tore open the tight skirt at the top of her legs, creating a large slit that revealed her plump, snow-white thighs.

Her slightly disdainful look seemed to say—

Women who dress too tightly are seen as pandering to men and engaging in lewd behavior; good women should expose their breasts and legs.

Xiao Ran remained silent.

Isn't that even more shameless of you! Lingzhou Yue picked up the wine jug and poured wine, a beautiful day begins with a hearty drink.

"Is everything ready?"

She asked casually.

Xiao Ran nodded.

Everything is ready.

Lingzhou Yue pouted.

"There's not much to prepare for. It's just a Rank C Mission. Not everyone dies every time."

What do you mean by "not every time someone dies"? Xiao Ran, who had been as calm as a rock, suddenly felt a little guilty after hearing this.

At this moment, True Person Yinyue emerged from the Pill Chamber.

After carefully dressing up in the Pill Chamber, she looked charming and much younger.

He was carrying two mahogany coffins, which looked a bit scary.

Hearing his Master mention the dead, Xiao Ran was so frightened that his face turned black.

True Person Yinyue said, "This is the Dao Alliance's Wraith Domain Transport Box. It can be used to bring mortals out of the Netherworld. It can only carry a maximum of three people. Each additional person will consume more Spiritual Power and increase the risk to their lives."

It wasn't a coffin after all...

Xiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Knew."

True Person Yinyue nodded slightly, his eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and worry, and he only said:

"It's getting late, you should set off now."

Lingzhou Yue held the wine pot with her hands on her hips, making the curve of her waist and hips look very beautiful.

"It's about an hour's journey to Flamefree City. Flying on a sword is a bit tiring."

Xiao Ran said, "Master is only at the Qi Refining Cultivation Level now, so let me carry you on my sword."

"The sword is too small, and you are too slow."

As she said this, Lingzhou Yue raised her hand as a blade and cleaved two Giant Bamboo in two from a distance.

The bamboo stalks were split into sections and tied together with bamboo strips to form a crudely made bamboo raft.

He stepped onto the bamboo raft and sat down cross-legged.

"Go!"

"Oh."

Xiao Ran was stunned for a long time and almost didn't react. He quickly stepped onto the bamboo raft and sat down obediently.

The bamboo raft rose into the air.

They traversed the Zongzhi Mountain Range at an extremely fast speed and soon left the Mountain-Guarding Grand Array.

Xiao Ran thought to himself.

Master's physical body has not yet entered the Netherworld. It is in the same space as the Blood Jade Bone that his Senior Uncle has temporarily hidden, which is why he can continue to use the Spirit Severing Realm Spiritual Power in the Blood Jade.

Sitting on the bamboo raft, Xiao Ran suddenly felt like he was "floating in the sky on a small bamboo raft" outside Zongzhi Mountain.

It is a desolate desert, and ruins buried underground by the desert.

Occasionally, you'll see places with a touch of green, which are scattered countries and towns.

Looking up, the Oriental sky was already tinged with red at dawn.

In the misty morning glow, suddenly golden light burst forth, like molten steel, splashing out and surrounding the sun as it slowly rose among the mountains.

The clouds in the sky were gradually transformed from dark red to dazzling gold, and the transformation intensified until the entire world was dyed red.

The golden rays of the sunset illuminated Lingzhou Yue's beautiful face. She took a sip of warm wine and sighed, a rare occurrence for her, "The sunrise is truly beautiful."

Xiao Ran was giving his Master a shoulder massage and trying to get some wool from him.

I thought to myself, no matter how beautiful the sunrise is, it can't compare to the beauty of my Master.

"Unfortunately, it won't last forever."

Lingzhou Yue added sadly.

Xiao Ran understood his Master's meaning and simply smiled:

"It rains in the desert sometimes; who can guarantee it will last forever?"

Lingzhou Yue drank heavily again and said, "This era isn't actually that bad; at least we can choose who we die with."

Xiao Ran's face was as black as ink, and he muttered to himself:

"Is it too late to not want to go to the Underworld now?"

Lingzhou Yue laughed with amusement, "You're quite afraid of dying, aren't you?"

While kneading the skin, Xiao Ran said earnestly:

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to honor my Master after I die."

Lingzhou Yue smiled and looked up at the sunlight.

"Don't be afraid, at worst I'll die with you."

"Let me go! I want to go home!" Xiao Ran cried out in his heart, but only said aloud, "Is this the reason why Master came along?"

Lingzhou Yue shook her head.

"You must have your reasons for coming. I'm only here to get the Elder Council, and also to relax a bit, as I've been too tired from resting at Sword-Wielding Mountain."

Resting too much is really tiring...

Xiao Ran didn't know how to respond.

Lingzhou Yue continued:

"You'll have to add some entertainment to the mountain later, such as physical and mental activities. Otherwise, I'll get fat and stupid if I live too comfortably."

Xiao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Master didn't intend to die; he just occasionally had a mental lapse.

"Of course, of course. When I get back from this mission, I'll play Fight the Landlord with my Master."

"Fight the Landlord?"

"Ahem, it's Fight the Wraith, Three People Fight the Wraith."

When the two arrived at Flamefree City, the black fog had already spread dozens of miles outside the city.

Farmers from the outskirts of Flamefree City migrated with their families towards Zongzhi Mountain.

A sphere of black mist filled the sky, enveloping the sky above and the underground hemisphere of Flamefree City.

Its inner spherical space is the stomach space of the Great Underworld, whose body is connected to the abyss.

This involves complex topological space magic, which Lingzhou Yue also finds difficult to explain clearly.

This is why it is difficult for Mahayana cultivator to kill the Great Netherworld without harming its inhabitants.

Xiao Ran saw the legendary Underworld for the first time.

Standing at the edge of the black mist, the soul-tearing black hole feeling and the vast, tragic sense of apocalypse made it hard for him to breathe.

Lingzhou Yue led him to a slightly uneven spot on the outer wall of the Netherworld, making it easier to enter and exit.

Unexpectedly, Li Wuxie was waiting at the entrance with a cup of goji berries in his hand.

Standing beside him was a cross-eyed woman, Ta Hongzi.

Upon seeing Xiao Ran and the other two arrive, Li Wuxie, with heavy eyelids, stood up and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Xiao Ran bowed slightly to the two men.

"Is there anything you need, Chief Li?"

Ta Hongzi then took out a golden Jade Slip and handed it to Xiao Ran.

"This is a notice issued by the main Academy. You can skip entering the Netherworld and go directly to the Academy as an exchange disciple of Zongzhi Mountain for further studies."

Exchanging disciples?

Exchange student? Xiao Ran did not accept the golden Jade Slip.

Lingzhou Yue cursed, "Do you think I don't exist? You with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, trying to snatch a student right in front of your Master?"

Li Wuxie stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky.

"Have you ever taught him even a single sword move? Such a genius will be wasted sooner or later in your hands."

Lingzhou Yue suddenly sneered; the young girl version of her was surprisingly eloquent.

"What do you know? This is called cultivating Dual Cultivation and sword, defeating moves without using moves!"

Dual Cultivation...

Upon hearing those two words, Li Wuxie's vision went black and his mouth trembled.

The Black Sand Teapot in my hands rattled and trembled, and the water leaked out.

Ta Hongzi quickly helped him up to prevent him from falling.

Li Wuxie composed himself.

"If you truly care about Xiao Ran, you should let him soar to greater heights, instead of selfishly possessing him."

Before Xiao Ran could offer any opinion, Lingzhou Yue glanced at him dismissively and suddenly said forcefully:

"I want to possess him, do you have a problem with that?"

Li Wuxie's body trembled, and he was speechless for a moment, unable to utter a word. Even his back pain didn't seem so bad anymore.

After leaving those words behind, Lingzhou Yue turned and stepped forcefully into the black mist without looking back.

"Come over."

The proud young girl's back view appeared incredibly tall.

Xiao Ran stood there, stunned, not yet able to react.

The normal procedure should be to give me a choice and test my sincerity, right? I never expected you to be like this, Master!

Is what you mean by possession... serious?

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment.

He quickly followed.

All that remained were the Jade Slip suspended in mid -Ta Hongzi's fingertips and Li Wuxie's trembling hands holding the pot.

In the black mist, Xiao Ran finally caught up with his Master and quickly grabbed her wrist to prevent her from getting lost.

The Lingzhou Yue, its radiance shimmering.

"What's a higher sky? Let me show you the deeper hell."
