***forgiving***

livered promptly three times a day. They just wouldn't allow me to leave my room.I just lay in bed and slept soundly, anyway even the simple task of changing clothes was taken care of by someone... I...Si Huang suddenly said she was pregnant, and I reflexively reached out to cover my stomach.

"I'm not pregnant, okay!"

“It’s only a matter of time, why be shy, Your Highness I was just giving you a friendly heads-up.” A knowing smile played on her lips.

It seems I'm waiting for the so-called "curse" and "bad luck" to befall me.

Oh my, I'm a little guilty.

It seems like I really need to go home, this place is creepy. If something truly happens to the children, no one can convince me to stay here.

“My little princess, I'm just kindly reminding you, have you seen how much resentment fills this place Plants struggle to grow, animals are nowhere to be found, not even the smallest creatures in the soil seem to have any spirit. The same logic applies…” A glint of cunning flashed in her beautiful big eyes.

"What reason"

"Do you think humans and ghosts can coexist" she asked with a soft, eerie smile.

No.

Do I need to answer this

Yin and yang are two worlds, birth and death reincarnation is the cycle of natural laws, including the young mistress Mu Xiaoqiao.

An ordinary person's "ghost marriage" might have already ended with the death of one party. However, the groom of Little Wife is not a ghost, but a deity from the underworld.

This is fundamentally different from ordinary human-ghost cohabitation.

Ordinary people who are invaded by evil spirits will die. Our family of seven generations of Xuan medicine practitioners, all day long, cure these kinds of people.

I looked at the desolate and barren land before me, and coupled with Si Huang's cryptic words, I seemed to understand something in my heart.

"Little Princess" Liang Xiaoge looked at me for a long time without speaking, and couldn't help but remind me: "There's really nothing to see here. Why don't we go back You still need to prepare for the sacrifice."

I nodded and glanced at Si Huang. Si Huang put away her flute and said in a faint voice, “Let’s go, we’ll send the little princess back... Little princess, you are now the wife of the God King, your status and power are different, in the future, our clan hopes that you will take care of us more.”

"Si Huang, I have a question," I couldn't help but ask with a smile. "People from your clan, like Si Jin, want to marry Mu Wanchen as their wife, why don't you feel the same"

Si Huang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "What are you thinking Marrying the God King"

She burst into laughter, shaking her head self-deprecatingly: “Firstly, the God King and I have no interest in each other, we don't see eye to eye; secondly... we both understand that this won't change anything about destiny, hmph… it's utterly meaningless.”

That's so mystical... I couldn't help but frown.

"My little princess, please don't overthink things. Both the Divine King and I understand that some things cannot be changed. I have already given up struggling, and the Divine King shoulders a heavy burden. He can never give up... even if he is the only one left, he must persevere..."

This topic was a bit heavy, so I kept my mouth shut and said nothing more. I lowered my head and hurried back onto the boat.

Two divine eagles soared through the sky, following Si Huang's ship all the way back to the wharf at the foot of Wu Wang Mountain.

Mu Wanchen stood there waiting.

I was a little surprised he was here to meet me.

The boat had just docked, the gangplank barely set up when I'd taken only one step before he pulled me into his arms.

"What are you running off to those ghastly places for" he frowned slightly, setting me down and pulling his cloak around me.

His cloak was too big for me, dragging on the ground.

Many people were looking at me, and I wanted to act cute but was also a little shy. A little embarrassed, I secretly took his arm and hid behind him.

These people are actually very straightforward. They used to look at me with suspicion, but now their eyes show a hint of awe.

Being the queen, you still have some privileges—like whispering in the king's ear.

Mu Wanchen pulled me upstairs, walking past layer upon layer of stairs and one by one high thresholds.

Last time he just gave me his back when he was angry. Now he's holding my hand, letting me walk with him slowly.

I arrived once again at the great fork in the road. I stopped before the massive bronze mirror and raised my hand to touch its surface.

My reflection and Mu Wanchen's appeared in the mirror, along with the surrounding scenery. As soon as I reached out my hand, a chill ran through me, emanating from within the mirror.

I've heard of a type of ghost called a "earthbound spirit". They are tied to the place where they died, their attachment to life and unfinished business causing them to linger in one spot.

Day after day, year after year.

If one still needs a magnificent cliff city for departed souls to dwell in, wouldn't Flowers in the Mirror and Moon on the Water be the most convenient and quick method

I once saw a hazy figure flickering in this copper mirror, could it be that what my young mistress said, the ghosts surrounding me, refers to this

The world in the copper mirror is another Wuwang City.

"Mu Wanchen, there are a lot of people living here, aren't there" I turned to ask him.

Mu Wanchen lowered his eyes and looked at me silently for a while, then nodded imperceptibly.

"Are these corners, these inexplicable places, where reflections are refracted, constructing a parallel mirrored space to house departed souls" I looked closely and saw spiderwebs in the four corners of the copper mirror.

Guiling, fenghun.

That spider.

It turns out that "Sealing the Soul" has a history.

“Would this cause any problems” I couldn't help but ask.

But genetic disorders can also be changed through marriage with the outside world. But if souls have all entered an endless cycle, there will definitely be problems! Moreover, this is not the reincarnation path of the underworld.

“It’s quite a problem, but when it came into my hands, it was already like this…… Perhaps Mu Xiaoqiao and Master's appearance is just fate.” Mu Wanchen didn't hide anything from me, looking at me frankly: “Perhaps Mu Xiaoqiao's appearance, the destruction of her sect, and Master had already foreseen the opportunities that fate would bring in the future, so she allowed my little junior sister to cultivate here.”

"What does that mean"

"The little mistress needs to accumulate good fortune and cultivate her mind. This is a good place, if the Wuzhuang Mountain City collapses one day and all spirits emerge from their caves... we'll also need someone who can timely transcend them." Mu Wanchen smiled: "Mu Xia Qiao doesn't know much about other spells, but she's very good at transcendence. Besides, she is the fairy queen of the Underworld God, even the Five Ghost Emperors have to obey her."

"So, Master, you still have Si Huang. In fact, you both already have an idea in your hearts about what the future will be like Then what are you going to do" I couldn't help but frown and ask.

Mu Wanchen raised his hand and rubbed the crease between my brows.

“Little Luo’er, no matter if it’s gods, ghosts, demons, or anything else, for thousands and thousands of years, there will always be tribulations… Besides, we have always been living in seclusion from the world. To have lasted for thousands of years is already very difficult. The cycle of birth and death, the natural order of things, perhaps we can do our best to follow the times. All I can do is try my best to protect the people.”

He paused, a smile curving his lips: "My little queen, there's no need to worry so much. No matter how the stars shift or the mountains change, at least I can keep you safe and sound. As for everything else, let fate decide."

>o retort: "This is how I speak with the Emperor...""Alright." Jiang Qiyun said, "Go quickly and give those people some Dinghun Pills."The little boy hesitated, clutching his gourd and asking, "Do you...
