497 Illusion

year of Ji Chou, women encounter misfortune and trouble... This is an explanation from ancient astrology and numerology.As for the deities, Rahu is one of the two stars in the Qixing Siyu.The "Seven L...What is he trying to do again Bai Wu Chang is such a difficult person to figure out! He's so unpredictable, both righteous and evil. It's impossible to read his mind.

I desperately wanted to move my finger, but a wave of icy coldness swept through my wrist — was it Bai Wuchang He was clutching my wrist!

What is he doing He's trying to drag me down and throw me into a well, isn't he!

I'm about to cry, but I can't even open my eyes! Was he the one who cast a spell on me

"Hee hee… Little Empress… Don't be afraid, this is to help you…" His voice seeped into my mind little by little.

I felt a coolness in my palm, and the thousand-petaled lotus was summoned forth by him. This lotus, no bigger than a coin, was pearly white at its base, while the rest shimmered with translucent brilliance.

"Little Empress, go on, it's quite scary inside the illusion realm... heehee... dress warmly!"

Clothes What clothes!

I struggled with all my might, and the whole person seemed to fall from a height!

The feeling of falling startled me, jolting me back to my senses.

Right in front of me... it's still this room.

There were no white paper talisman, nor any minor karmic debt. Outside the screen, on the Eight Immortals table, there was no stack of letters waiting to be stamped.

Where is everyone

"Is... is anyone there" I asked, looking out.

There were people outside, those paper-like maids bowed their heads and with soft deference offered me a curtsey.

"Lady Xiaoniao, what are your orders" asked a leading maid.

“I...didn't have anything to say. Where's Qi Ye and my little lynx” I asked cautiously.

"Qīyé huí míngwáng tiānzǐ diàn le, nín de xiǎo shě lì zài wài miàn huā cóng lǐ wán ne……nín xiān hē zhǎn rè chá dìng yīdìng shén ba, zěn me rú cǐ jīnghuāng……”shì nü róuròu de shuō dào.

"Oh...good..." I looked at them in puzzlement. The little maid at the end immediately turned and went out to fetch hot water for tea. As she came in, she tripped and fell as soon as she crossed the threshold.

Her head—

A white bone pierced her skull, detaching from her body...

"Oops... How could this happen..." The leading maid hurriedly lifted her up, the other two holding her head and inserting the white bone back into her neck.

My heart pounded — they were indeed paper people!

Is this true I know some highly skilled paper-cut artists can create lifelike paper figures, and through the enchantment of spirit mediums in the afterlife, they become individuals that appear to be truly alive.

I involuntarily took a few steps back, my spine hitting the screen.

The maid was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at me and smiled. "Little Lady, there's no need to be afraid... we... are all like this..."

She pulled her head down while she spoke.

"Ahhhh— Little demon!" I ran inside, this wasn't right! This definitely wasn't the Yinjing Heavenly Palace!

Bai Wu Chang must have cast a spell on me, is this to scare me

"Little Xie! Little Xie!" I pushed open the window, and outside a vast expanse of cosmos flowers bloomed. Little Xie was digging in the flowerbed.

"Little Xie— Something's not right here, let's get out of here!" I scrambled onto the dragon and phoenix couch by the window!

Xiao Nie impatiently said, "Why are you so nosy! I'm still eating!"

"What in the world are you eating! Didn't you already—" become famous in the Qinghua Changle realm, what else could you possibly be eating Besides, what is there to eat in this underworld anyway

Little Ni bit down on a white thing and jumped up. I took a closer look, and it was a woman's forearm with a bracelet...

I was stunned. Xiao Nie flung her arms onto the Dragon and Phoenix bed, swaying her head and saying, "The bodies buried under the flowers are so delicious..."

This is not right! Xiao Nie doesn't eat things!

This definitely isn't the Yinjing Tiangong I fell asleep in!

I bolted out the door. Outside, the maids who had removed their heads surrounded me, their eyes fixed on my bare necks like the mouths of bowls, reaching out to grab me——

"Little Lady~~ You mustn't run around, it's very dangerous here... You just stay in the room, and if you need anything, just call us and we'll bring it to you..."

My goodness, you bunch of clueless fairies! You're telling me it's safe around here with you lot If I had a weaker mind, I'd be freaking out right now!

Previously, I was scared unconscious by my hometown's paper figurine aunt Zhang. At that time, I was pregnant in my late stages and carrying a heavy burden. Now, I don't have so many concerns!

I directly pushed open the two doors, pinched the Five Element Fire Spell between my fingers, and roared, "Get out of here, or I'll burn you!"

These maids were frightened, they clutched their heads and fled in a panic.

I watched them leave, glancing back at the room. From the slit in the screen, Xiao Nie was still gnawing on that hand.

That bracelet on her hand looks familiar...

It looked up at me and smiled, "The body is still buried in the garden, isn't it the wife of Your Majesty Hmm... over so many years, he couldn't possibly only have you as a wife, could he Perhaps she died and was buried in the back garden to be used as fertilizer No wonder these Manju Sha Hua flowers are growing so well..."

He was gnawing on his fingers and staring at me, that look... as if he were asking me when I too would become like this fertilizer.

"This is a dream, isn't it" I muttered to myself as I backed away.

I felt a surge of courage, and a chilling look sent shivers down my spine.

It… if it had a mind to, could maybe, really come at me and bite.

I bolted out the door. Outside was the courtyard, and as soon as I stepped over the threshold, the scene instantly became pitch black.

Nothing can be seen, nothing exists.

The Five Element Fire Talisman won't come out, the fire flickers and goes out immediately; the spells are recited but can't be transmitted, there aren't even any minor ghosts or the Seven Lords and Eight Lords to help me.

I took two deep breaths...Don't panic, Mu Xiaoqiao, you're not dead, so don't get flustered.

Even in death, there's no fear. The undying blood curse is still etched onto his chest; there's no need to worry about forgetting him.

Thinking back on what just happened, Bai Wuchang was holding my wrist, and in my palm appeared that snowflake of a thousand layers.

I raised my hand, silently reciting the incantation. A tiny lotus flower materialized, its faint silver glow illuminating a small area before me.

It is a snowy land.

There was no wind, yet snowflakes continued to fall incessantly.

Quiet, desolate.

There was also a vast and boundless expanse of...nothingness.

Is this a hallucination Then which way should I go It's so empty in every direction, there isn't even a signpost.

Bai Wu Chang brought me here, what's his purpose

I took a step forward, just one step, and immediately felt the biting cold. This guy told me to wear more clothes, but you should give me some too! It's freezing!

Under the illumination of Qian Chongxue's fluorescence, the surrounding snowfield faintly shimmered with silver. In the distance, a figure appeared...I secretly came to tell you!"Jiang Qiyun said unhappily, “Ignore him, let’s talk about it later.”After the little boy left, I whispered, "What happened""Ziwu Laotou wants to meet with Gui He and You N...
