493 Past Future

gh, like he didn't care about anything.He was naturally good at dealing with people. He had a thick face and a black heart, could laugh and scold with ease, was clear-minded, and sharp-witted... He s..."Little Empress... Little Empress!"

I heard a faint, familiar sound.

When he opened his eyes, the sculpture of the little boy behind the statue of the Heavenly Venerable had come to life.

He carried a large gourd on his back and grinned, saying, "I have my share of the incense here, hehe..."

"You... came to pick me up" I was stunned.

"Of course! What else would I be here for... besides the food..." the young boy mumbled.

I patted my head and quickly stood up, pulling out a Snickers bar from my pocket—this was from my brother. He was worried I wouldn't be able to eat lunch on time if I went out to do errands, and he was afraid I'd get low blood sugar, so he forced it on me.

"What's this!" the little boy exclaimed with wide eyes.

"This... what's it to you I already explained, can you understand Just know that it's edible!" I placed the dish of food onto the offering tray with a clatter.

I whispered my prayer, and as soon as I finished the last sentence, I heard the sound of wrapping paper being torn.

"Wow, this is thick! So thick! It's amazing!" the little boy exclaimed with excitement.

I stood there silently as he finished eating, and then asked, “Can we leave now I’m starving and don’t have the energy to walk that far anymore, nor the strength to kowtow all the way to the mountain gate...”

"Mhm!" He walked over and took my hand. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, little empress, close your eyes, I'll take you to the mountain gate..."

"...First, wipe the residue from your mouth..."

If the Great Emperor Qinghua knew that I bribed a young boy with a Kit Kat to take a shortcut, would he be angry

Anger could wait no longer... Qiang Hua Chang Le Realm, where Jiang Qi Yun currently was.

Just thinking about this makes my heart race.

"Little Madam, you can open your eyes now!" a child's voice came.

In just a blink of an eye, he brought me to the gate of the mountain with a white signpost.

I saw something familiar on the ground, glaring at me impatiently: "Stupid woman! How are you so slow! I've been waiting here for ages!"

So little... so little… little demon!

Well, that's right. It was originally an extraordinary being who attained enlightenment in the Qinghua Chang Le Realm...

"What are you doing here" I bent down and reached out to it.

This guy is arrogant, but as long as I make this move, it will jump into my arms willingly.

Dead as hell!

To be with you is more precious than returning to the south or finding peace in a quiet place!

"It's not you, you're going to what underworld, I'm worried you'll cry in fright, so I came to take care of you." Xiao Nie proudly raised his head.

The little boy stared incredulously at Xiaonie: "Oh my oh my, this is terrible! You dare speak to Little Madam like this! Do you think the Celestial Emperor doesn't know about your wicked deeds during his time of seclusion When the Celestial Emperor returns, won't you be afraid of being punished!"

Little Ni arrogantly twisted his head: "What are you afraid of The Emperor is so afraid of his wife..."

"Pfft!" the little boy stifled a laugh. "You're courting death! If you have the guts, say that to the Emperor himself."

Little Ni snorted and cowered into my arms in defeat.

"That... are we still going to walk through the dark, gloomy sea" I asked with a hint of despair.

The little boy nodded. “Only there, don’t be afraid, it takes practice.”

I sadly nodded my head, let's go, and experience the underwater roller coaster again.

This process... I really don't want to remember it.

At the moment when Xiao Nie escaped the "sea of suffering", he suddenly transformed into a dharma body, becoming the size of a leopard. He bit my belt with his mouth and carried me down from the air.

I saw familiar sights high in the sky.

The Ghost Road, the suspension bridge leading to the Hall of Oblivion, and the bottomless precipice.

The Hall of Forgetfulness is a magnificent building. Behind it lies the River of Forgetfulness and the Bridge of No Regrets. Beyond the Bridge of No Regrets lies a sea of fiery yet tranquil lotuses.

A sea of crimson flowers stretches all the way to the foot of Luofu Mountain, and a majestic and ethereal fairy palace stands grandly.

I looked down from above. The colder the air became as I descended, especially around the platform of oblivion where ghostly energy surged to the heavens.

"Little... we've fallen to the Forgetfulness Platform..." I was drenched, and this cold air sent shivers down my spine.

Little Nie wasn't afraid. It lightly landed on a platform, and after landing, it puffed up its fur and vigorously shook off the water from its pelt.

"Oh my! How did you get like this!" A voice cried out from below, it was Meng Shu's.

I lay on the edge of the platform, peering down—

Meng Shu crossed her arms and stood at the edge of a passage, yelling at me: "Wait for me, I'll get you changed! How can a little princess be so disheveled!"

The little imps around me looked up at me blankly, and said in disbelief, “It's really Little Lady How could you be carried off by a fox demon”

Xiaonie was furious! A leopard demon!

It bared its fangs and was about to pounce on the little imp, ready to bite him twice — it wasn't afraid of causing trouble, after all, because I brought it... and if it caused any trouble, I'd take the blame for it!

I hurriedly soothed it, stroking its fur: “Don’t get angry, I know you’re a little lynx who has achieved physical perfection.”

“Get rid of the small letters! I’m not small!”

This guy has pretty high standards.

It should be like Jiang Qiyun, just grabbing it by the back of its neck and yelling "Damn beast!" Then it wouldn't dare to show any teeth.

Meng Shu threw the bowl in her hand and said to the ghost who was about to drink the soup, "Be good!"

She hurried up to me, holding a cloak in her hands to wrap around me.

I gratefully said, "Thank you, thank you, I'm freezing..."

"Little Empress, how did you come down from the heavens! You scared me half to death. I thought some demon or ghost dared to cross the boundary and disturb the Underworld! During the Emperor's period of detachment, we were all on edge..."

Huh Is there such a thing

"All living beings, upon death, enter the Underworld. Dare demons and monsters still wreak havoc in the Underworld Don't they fear being held accountable by the Underworld" I asked in bewilderment.

"Who knows, there are always some bold and reckless ghost kings, demon kings, and devil kings who are making a move. When the Emperor is around, they all behave well. When the Emperor is gone, they can't help but act recklessly. After all, the underworld is one of the three realms, with countless treasures here. Even getting half of them would be enough for them to take risks."

Meng Shu mumbled to herself as she cast a spell, drying my clothes.

"Oh my! That's... the Seventh Uncle! My goodness! The Seventh Uncle has crossed the Naihe Bridge!" Meng Shu's eyes lit up, and she shouted to those below: "Meng Yong, Meng Ge, your Seventh Uncle is here! Quickly go and inform Grandmother!"

Grandmother Meng Po God

I'm a little excited, this is a world-renowned deity!

Meng Shu led me to the main entrance of the Wangxiang Terrace. The entrance faced the Naihe Bridge, and a beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor, dressed in luxurious brocade robes, with white hair and a dragon-head cane, smiled warmly at me.

Beauty

It seems something is wrong...

Isn't this Meng Po How beautiful she is! And her eyes are so gentle!

Xiao Nie gave me a disdainful glance: "Little Empress, watch your drool."t's so big and overwhelming, and it melts when it gets wet. I can't just run to the lake behind my house every time I need a bath!Mu Wanchen smiled: "Missing home""...a little, but I'm more afraid of...
