C50 (1/2)

Black Robe's words caused me to be stunned. From his tone, it seemed that he knew what he was talking about. The person in front of me was clearly not a good person.

I didn't want to tell him too much, so I just grumpily said, ”What would I do here if I knew?”

Black Robe was very pleased with my boldness. He laughed out loud. His laughter was very unpleasant to listen to. It was like a duck that had its neck pinched. His voice was thin and sharp.

”Oh, then do you know where this is?” After laughing, Black Robe asked in an interested tone.

I shook my head. I didn't know what the hell this place was.

Black Robe used his black fingernail like claws to touch the ghost mask on his face, ”This place is the Yin law, you can count yourself lucky to be able to be here. As for Qin Yize's identity, I'll tell you a story, after listening to it, you'll probably know.”

After saying that, without waiting for me to reply, the man in black started to talk about it by himself. I was curious, could it be that these ghosts were all so lonely and loved to tell stories?

”When the great ancient god Pan Gu split apart the sky and earth, the thickness of the ground was immeasurably thick. Therefore, with another chop of his axe, God Pan Gu had already left the space of the underworld.

In the following days, people died and their ghosts floated around the mortal world, but they hid in the sun all day, so they found this space in the Underworld. In the following hundred years, there were endless wars, so there were more and more ghosts that gathered in the Underworld.

After the God of Heaven found out about this, he sent people down to take over the Underworld. But he didn't know who he sent, so he picked someone from every generation, and thus there were eighteen Yama s. But, who was going to manage the Underworld with so many people?

After some discussion, the God of Heaven made a decision. He wanted all eighteen of them to manage one level each, and later expanded the Infernal Realm to the eighteenth level.

Initially, they did not think that they would be safe and sound like this. However, because they wanted to fight for the Underworld's ruler, an internal conflict had occurred. Of the eighteen Yama s, only three people remained: King Qinguang, King Chujiang, and King Of Rotation.

”However, the battle still hasn't stopped, so the higher-ups set a rule that out of these three people, whoever has a son will rule the Underworld …”

At this point, I seemed to understand a little bit. This black robed man was trying to tell me that I was just an item, only a sacrifice in their struggle for power.

But why me? Why me?

My mind was in a mess. Black Robe chuckled. ”Since you have fallen into my hands today, it is true that the heavens have helped me …”

With that, he waved his sleeve and charged at me. I could feel a huge pressure pushing down on me so hard that I couldn't even breathe.

Just when I felt like I was about to faint, I suddenly felt the pressure lightening. Following it, I heard a familiar voice.

”You have the guts to bully me instead. How could you dare to do something that goes against the will of the heavens?”

When Black Robe saw Qin Yize, his expression immediately changed, but he still smiled and said, ”I didn't expect that the newly wed beauty couldn't trap you, and was able to escape and come here. I have really underestimated you.”

”Hmph.” Qin Yize coldly snorted. With a wave of his long sleeve, my body was squeezed into his embrace from the ground.

”How is Qing Qing?”

I pushed him away and shouted at him, ”Stop pretending to be a good person! So you're only using me. Why do you need to care about me so much?” Then he knelt on the ground and sobbed.

I have to admit that in these past few days, I no longer feel as much rejection and fear towards Qin Yize as I did before, and I even felt that he was a little different.

But that was the truth, and it was only then that I realized how ridiculous I was.
