ant that little ghost to enter my shop. She might be terrified and scream, like she's in a haunted house. I've learned from past experiences.And I have two little kids at home. I don't want these nega...To say "frame," I think the Black and White Imps wouldn't be so boring, setting a trap for us to jump into ourselves.

Because we are not in a desperate situation now.

It's probably foolish to discuss matters with ghosts and spirits. Perhaps the Black and White Marshals are truly here on a mission. Maybe Master truly wants us to return quickly, so he used some underhanded tactics and opened a back door for us.

"...Mu Wanchen, I've been having auditory hallucinations lately. There are voices in my head that sound during crucial moments. Am I sick" I whispered to Mu Wanchen.

"...Where are you uncomfortable" Mu Wanchen furrowed his brow, raising a hand to cup my face and stare into my eyes.

"It's not that I'm uncomfortable... it's just that there are always these kinds of voices, like whispers, that sound like they're talking to me, flashing past my ears. I can't tell if they're male or female. They just suddenly appear, reminding me to run away, go back, sigh... I'm starting to get paranoid." I said quickly.

"What did you hear"

I looked at Bai Wu Chang's enigmatic smile, reaching up to hook Mu Wan Chen's neck. He leaned in close to my lips, waiting for me to speak.

"...Bai Wu Chang just told us to pass through the well opening for a moment and return. I heard a sigh in my ear, could it be... something unusual" I said anxiously.

Mu Wanchen pondered for a moment: "Divine immortals usually don't seek trouble, even in other realms. As long as you follow me, I won't lose you... I also don't want to burden you too much. Your finger has been hurting for a long time, hasn't it It's best to go back and treat the wound early."

Oh, oh

"... You know, right" What else could I possibly hide

Mu Wanchen sighed slowly, "I know about your illness and pain, how could I not Seeing you covered in dust like this, how could I not feel heartache... You're better suited to playing around in a room with soft cushions and embroidered screens. Go back early... If you're afraid, I can take you through a secret passage, letting Long Xiao go himself"

“Oh, that’s too unrighteous. Brother Long was alone all along, and we left him behind… That doesn’t feel right,” I muttered under my breath.

"Then I'll follow Master's arrangements." Mu Wanchen turned his head to glance at the "well opening" on the ground.

It was called a well, but there wasn't a rim. It was just a patch of black, moving mist on the ground.

It looks like a pit.

I'm just about to jump into the pit.

Mu Wanchen lifted me up and whispered, "Close your eyes."

This feeling is terrible. Suddenly, everything around me turned into a gray blur. My ears went numb for a moment, and then I was surrounded by a freezing chill.

Immediately, flickering palace lanterns sprang to life around Mu Wanchen. These "ghost lanterns" cast an even more eerie glow over the atmosphere.

I see a brick road in front of me.

All around was an endless deep black, only this brick path stretched forward.

The brick was only as wide as a hand, like a single plank bridge.

Bai Wu Chang drifted in front of me, his thin wrist reaching out from his sleeve. He grasped at the air, and a delicate white paper lantern appeared in his hand.

"Hee hee hee... Little princess, be careful yo~~"

"Why is this road so narrow It's not even a road..." I couldn't help but complain, "A balance beam is wider than this."

"The path of Huangquan is a one-way street, with no turning back. That's why it's only this wide... Don't be afraid, my little princess. Even with your eyes closed, you can walk this path, hihihi..."

Walk with your eyes closed

"What if I accidentally miss and fall" I asked anxiously.

"......Hee hee, on the border between two worlds, where do you think you'd fall Walking with your eyes closed would be more stable, you know." Bai Wu Chang didn't directly answer my question.

Do even matters of ghosts and spirits need to be kept so secret

Long Xiaogē followed and jumped down, looking at this brick path, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"Long Xiaogē, be careful on your way." I reminded him.

" Long Xiaoge gave me a disdainful glance, as if telling me to mind my own business.

Mu Wanchen put me in his arms and whispered, "Let me carry you, hold onto me tightly, don't move."

"...Hmm."

I think our conversation is quite ordinary, Bai Wu Chang chuckled and teased, "嘖嘖~~ how sweet~~ The Witch King and the Princess are so harmonious and respectful to each other, it's rare, rare."

When he speaks, his expression is always smiling, and his voice naturally has a hint of amusement. I'm afraid to deal with such people.

It just feels like a super, super old-school master, with a kind of "knowing but not saying" playful tone.

This is different from Master Yun Fan. Master Yun Fan is also a smiling person, but his smile is very transparent. He can handle everything with ease, whether it's joy, anger, schemes, or conspiracies.

Bai Wu Chang drifted silently in front of us, carrying a paper lantern. He chuckled softly and said: "This well opening is rarely used... The Netherworld seldom uses this well for anyone..."

"What kind of well is this" I couldn't help but ask.

"Hee hee, the King of Witches worries about his beloved wife so he used the technique of shifting stars to shorten the time between yin and yang. The Heavenly Emperor fears he might make such a 'dangerous' move again, so he has us use this well opening to shrink distances and arrive in an instant." Bai Wu Chang gave Mu Wanchen a meaningful glance.

Dangerous move I immediately turned to look at Mu Wanchen, his expression was serene, with no change.

"Shh... let's talk about it later." He looked like I was going to press further, and immediately pressed his finger against my lips.

Warm fingertips, a gentle touch.

He has a way of making me lose my composure.

I should clarify.

But such a small gesture from him made me self-deceive and give up questioning.

Anyway, everyone is safe now, no broken arms or legs, and the injuries can be treated. Plus, we'll be able to go home very soon.

Instantaneous, fleeting.

Bai Wu Chang wasn't joking, that thin, long stone path was swallowed by the darkness. He used a white paper lantern to lead the way for us. We hadn't walked far when he laughed and said——

"Hehe, we're here."

Here

The bluestone path came to an end, and once again a swirling mass of black mist condensed and hovered on the ground.

Needless to say, I have to jump again.

As Bai Wu Chang said before, the other end of this “well” should be by Xiao Shi Niang’s side.

This time, the well-jumping wasn't so smooth. As I was being held and jumped down, I suddenly felt dizzy. Mu Wanchen's hand left me for a moment, and I felt myself falling out of his arms!

Everything around me became a blur for a moment, like I was suddenly submerged in water and then just as quickly pulled back out!

I feel like an automatic spinning mop, suddenly plunged into water, then abruptly lifted up and shaken dry...

Just as I was about to flail wildly, the downward momentum suddenly stopped. A pair of hands caught me securely.the head and neck," he whispered.His voice trembled slightly with suppressed pain.This guy is simply incredible... He's so tough!"Alright... I'll help you tie it, just don't move around."Can't you jus...
