The Taste of Ghosts in the World

Two wheels, one big and one small, were driving crookedly along the road. Qi Mu poked his head out and looked out of the car. The originally narrow sandy road became wider and wider. At the end of the road stood a huge iron gate. The densely packed tall buildings behind the door can be vaguely seen.

"Okay! It's here!" the uncle shouted in front of the car.

The car slowly approached the gate, but a red and white warning stick suddenly extended from the side, and two thin men jumped out and shouted: "Stop, stop!"

The uncle almost ran into them, stopped the car quickly, and complained, "What are you two doing? How many years of cultivation do you want to die?!"

The men ignored his words, and stood in front of the car and said with dignity: "You have to pay the fare for this car entering the city!"

"Oh, I really don't listen to persuasion, and still get out of the way after I say it?" The uncle turned a deaf ear and taught them a lesson on his own.

Qi Mu got out of the car with the little lotus in his arms, and You Yi followed, leaned over and said to the uncle, "Thank you! How about the fare?"

The uncle shook his head, "It's the last business trip, I won't charge you!"

You Yi insisted, "This is not acceptable! We must accept it! What do you want? Just say it!"

The uncle looked him up and down for a while, pointed to his belt, "Just give me this!"

You Yi hesitated for a moment, but simply took off the belt and handed it to him.

The uncle touched the cloth, folded it, and praised: "Not bad."

"Of course! This is the best cloud brocade in the sky!" You Yi said proudly, and then watched the uncle fold and fold the best cloud brocade belt in the sky, and finally turned it into a small piece and stuffed it into the carriage. Under the loose wood, I patted it and said with satisfaction: "It's really good! It won't shake in the future!"

"...Uncle." You Yi felt his heart was bleeding, but he couldn't ask for the belt back.

The two men saw that they were talking by themselves, as if they didn't know that there were other people, so they shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey! Don't be stupid! Pay the fare!"

"What? Carriage fare?" The uncle finally heard it this time, waved his hand and said, "No need to pay, no need to pay, I won't go to the city!"

Man A stared and said, "If you don't enter the city, you have to pay! You are already in the territory of Ledu!"

The uncle pointed at the black bear in front of the car, and replied loudly: "See clearly! I am not a horse!"

"No, no! As long as it is an animal that has not yet transformed into a cart, there will be a charge for the carriage!"

"Who said there is no transformation?!" The uncle patted the black bear's broad back, "Big and Er Mao, let them see!"

The two black bears roared, lifted their front feet off the ground, straightened up, and turned into two sturdy men with dark skin.

"This is my son," the uncle said triumphantly to the two men holding the warning sticks, "So you don't need to take him away?"

The two opened their mouths wide and could not speak.

The uncle got into the car, "Big Mao Ermao, we're going back!"

The two sons turned the car around, pulled the car and swaggered away.

……

Qi Mu and You Yi watched the three black bear spirits leave without a word, and then walked straight to the city gate. The scale of Ledu became more and more clear in front of them. Bustling, even the pedestrians on the street look exactly like humans.

If You Yi hadn't emphasized that this is the demon world, Qi Mu would almost have thought he had returned to the human world.

Seemingly realizing that he was absent-minded, You Yi smiled and said, "You were taken aback, right? It was the same way when I first came here."

"So you say they are close to humans and imitate humans?"

"Yes, look at this city, which is completely modeled on the human world, but it's just a shell."

"What do you mean?"

"No matter how much they like humans, they still value monster power by nature, and they are good at cultivating with natural energy, and they don't like to study your human scientific knowledge. This is why they think they are better than humans. So no matter how much they imitate, this The city is always just an empty shell, and there are not many residents who actually stay here, and most monsters still like to linger in the world."

"So it is."

Qi Mu nodded and didn't speak any more. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Are there any levels of arrest warrants here?"

You Yi was slightly taken aback, and then he understood what he meant, and told him directly: "The arrest warrant for Feng Baisui is first-level."

"Level one..." Qi Mu still had a faint hope, "Is it true that the higher the number, the higher the level?"

"No," You Yi shook his head, and changed a more intuitive term for him: "Level [-] means Class A."

"..."

After a pause, Qi Mu asked again: "Do the three realms often jointly arrest people?"

"Not often, only three times so far."

"What about the other two results?"

"It will be withdrawn soon."

Qi Mu's eyes lit up, "Can it still be revoked?"

"Okay." You Yi smiled, "Of course it will be withdrawn if you get caught."

"..."

Qi Mu recalled all the situations after they left the world, and wondered: "When I was in the underworld, why didn't I find out that they had the intention to capture a hundred years old?"

"Hmm..." When it came to this question, You Yi seemed a little embarrassed, and said falteringly, "Because he...is not easy to catch."

"What is not easy to catch?"

"Let's put it this way," You Yi lowered his voice and leaned into his ear, "He is one of the creator gods, we dare not touch him..."

"Oh——" Qi Mu understood, "So you put a wanted status and let him fend for himself?"

"Of course not." You Yi retorted: "Our arrest warrants are different in situation and content. Like his arrest warrant, there are three options: capture alive, beheaded on the spot, or follow you."

"Ah?" Qi Mu blinked, and he felt more and more that the reason why he wanted to become a mortal in the past was probably because he couldn't bear these inexplicable gods.

You Yi said relaxedly: "After our discussion, we agreed that you can restrain his behavior, so as long as we are with you, the matter will basically be resolved."

"Then shouldn't we go to Feng Baisui first?"

"That's what I said, but judging from the current situation..." You Yi dragged his tone, scanned the monsters in the city who deliberately dressed as humans, and said, "The soul dew is more important."

At this time, Feng Baisui was standing on the ground of the demon world, with a serious expression on his eyebrows.

This is the outskirts, and there are no monsters around. In such a big monster world, I don't know where to start.

After a long silence, he lowered his head and asked Da Lianpeng, "Do you know where Qi Mu is?"

"Qi Mu?" Da Lianpeng followed him blankly and repeated the strange name.

"...It's Yuan Ling."

"I don't know." Da Lianpeng shook his head, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "However, Master Yuan Ling should be with my younger brother!"

"Can you find your brother?"

"We are twins, we can sense each other, let me try!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes with a serious expression on his face. After a while, the big lotus pod raised his head, "I found it!"

A gleam of joy flashed across Feng Baisui's heart, "Is he...?"

"sleeping."

"..."

Although Feng Baisui has no expression on his face, Da Lianpeng can still feel the anger coming from the other party, so he can only flatten his mouth and say aggrievedly: "I can only sense what my brother is doing, but I can't sense what they are doing." Where..."

"Do you want me to help?"

A voice interrupted suddenly.

The big lotus pod was startled, and turned around to look, not far away was a young man walking slowly, with a slender figure and slightly curly hair.

"Who are you?" Big Lianpeng hid behind Feng Baisui, poked his head out and asked.

The other party didn't answer his question, and stopped five meters away, keeping his eyes on Feng Baisui.

"Want to know where he is?"

His voice was beautiful, like gurgling water, clear and gentle, and there was a smile on his lips when he spoke.

Feng Baisui subconsciously felt that the "he" in the other party's mouth should refer to Qi Mu, so he raised his eyebrows displeased.

"you know?"

"The soul is in my hand, of course I can know."

Hearing the word "soul dew", Feng Baisui immediately darkened his face, "Did you steal the soul dew?"

"How can you say it's 'stealing'?" The young man smiled and shook his head, "Yuan Ling handed it over to me and entrusted me to keep it. Seeing that the [-]-year period agreed with him is approaching, Yuan Ling has not yet returned. That's why I went out to find him myself."

"Are you that pearl oyster?" Feng Baisui asked with some uncertainty, the other party's voice made him feel very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere...

Frowning and trying to recall, a mighty green dragon jumped out of his mind without warning accompanied by the sound of water flowing, and let out a provocative roar.

"No, you are the second prince of the dragon!"

"That's right, it's me." The second prince readily admitted, "I thought you had forgotten me."

Feng Baisui nodded, and said coldly: "I have this plan."

"..."

The smile on the second prince's face froze, and it took a while for him to recover.

Feng Baisui was impatient to see him laughing inexplicably, stretched out his hand, and said, "Bring it."

The second prince was stunned, "What?"

"Soul dew."

"Why do you think I'll give it to you?"

Feng Baisui did not answer with a cold face, and said again: "Bring it!"

The second prince smiled again, "I will not hand it over to anyone except Yuan Ling."

The two faced each other for a while, Feng Baisui slowly withdrew his hand, Da Lianpeng's whole body turned cold, and he felt that Zhulong's spiritual power was surging, and he was about to strike.

Of course the second prince also saw Feng Baisui's intentions, but he didn't want to participate in this fight. If he fought with Zhulong, he would definitely lose as badly as before.

The only trump card is Soul Dew. In order to meet Yuan Ling safely, he decided to take the initiative and make appropriate concessions.

Keeping the smile on his face unchanged, he took a step back, turned around and left, leaving a sentence: "I want to find Yuan Ling with Soul Dew, do you want to go together?"
