Qin Manjiang could not help cursing out loud. Before the Infinite Eye Realm forcibly dragged him in, he had still been inside the [Soul Return] ghost story.
But that was precisely the problem. The [Wedding Dress] ghost story would not begin until midnight three days later.
Now he had been dragged out, but when he was thrown back into the real world, how was he supposed to get out if he was still trapped in the [Soul Return] ghost story?

But
