"Grim Reaper, you can't move us, can you?" Northern King laughed.
The Grim Reaper did not respond, and Northern King continued speaking lightly.
"You left the two of us not only to protect Xi Meng, but also because you want to lure out the Demon Emperor. Unfortunately, you have no idea where she is."
"Hahaha, that's right. When the demon race severely injured the Underworld, Yama Queen lost her true form as a result. This time, I will not let that demon succeed."
"I will seal all of you in hell, with no hope of escape until the Three Realms are destroyed."
"Grim Reaper, do you hate the demon race because of Yama Queen?"
"You don't need to know that."
"Fine, I'm not interested either. It's just that right now, you truly cannot move us; otherwise, the king will know immediately. You will never find her unless our king willingly reveals herself, but by then, it won't be long before she unifies the Three Realms."
"He is right; Grim Reaper, you cannot kill them."
I don't even know what mindset I was in when I said that. I looked at Ink Seal with a complex expression, feeling conflicted.
"Oh? You don't want him dead?" the Grim Reaper asked.
"Their lives have nothing to do with me," I replied.
Ink Seal was taken aback, staring at me blankly.
I withdrew my gaze and continued, "Since the Demon Race has awakened and the Demon Emperor has escaped from his seal, we must rely on them to find a way to stop him."
"Dream on! I will never betray our king!" Purple Seal exclaimed.
"Keeping them around will eventually lead us to the Demon Emperor," I said, directly ignoring Purple Seal's words.
"Sigh, Xi Meng, this is your fate. I cannot intervene to help you," the Grim Reaper said.
He sounded sincere. Could it be that he knows me?
No, no, that's impossible!
"Your consciousness is telling you that you already know where the Demon Emperor is?!" I asked.
"That's right, Xi Meng. Remember my words: everything is uncertain, and everything changes unpredictably. Be cautious of those around you."
"Who exactly are you?"
"Soon, you will meet me, Little Ximeng."
"Hey, just tell me—"
……
After a long silence, the Grim Reaper left, leaving me with Ink Seal and Purple Seal.
"Let's go." Ink Seal first regained composure, then, with a cold expression like before, walked ahead. This left me with Purple Seal, who seemed completely uninterested in me at that moment.
The journey was silent as I quietly followed behind the two of them, thinking about Demon Emperor and the matters concerning the demon race.
...
"This is it." It wasn't until Ink Seal spoke that I slowly came back to my senses.
We've arrived? Where exactly?
"Do you know where the Grim Reaper wants us to go?" I asked. They hadn't mentioned anything about this; how did Ink Seal know where to go...
"Brother, you're too nice to her—"
"Shut up."
"Hmph, she might not even appreciate it." Purple Seal sneered from the side.
Nice to me? I scoffed; were these brothers putting on another act?
"Where is this place? If you don't explain clearly, I'm not going in," I said.
"Come in or not, it's up to you." Purple Seal immediately replied.
"Go in, if you—trust me." Ink Seal frowned as he spoke, especially the last two words, which he said very softly, lacking any confidence. Was there sadness flickering in his eyes?
I don't know why, but seeing the Ink Seal makes it hard to refuse him.
"Brother, is it really worth risking so much for her?"
Behind me, I heard Purple Seal's dissatisfied voice, along with a sigh from Ink Seal...
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm the bad guy? Shaking my head, I reminded myself not to be fooled again, Xi Meng, don't believe them!
Taking a deep breath, I looked at the palace that appeared before me once more, my heart racing. I had just made it halfway through the eighteen Lord's Halls, and now I was here in a daze again. I wondered what this palace would be like...
"Ah-woof, ah-woof, woof—"
As soon as I stepped inside, a series of loud roars halted my steps. Oh my, judging by the sound, it must be a big fellow.
Considering my current physical state, I awkwardly stopped and waited for the two brothers behind me.
"Ahem." I cleared my throat awkwardly and asked, "What’s ahead?"
"Are you scared? You're even more useless than I thought," Purple Seal said.
"Purple Seal," Ink Seal interrupted him and added, "Stay behind me. If you want to regain your true form, this place is essential."
I didn't argue anymore and quietly followed behind Ink Seal, with Purple Seal bringing up the rear. Although I knew they were from the demon clan, I felt no sense of danger from them at all. Especially now, I knew they were protecting me...
