“Yan Gu, can you hear me?”
“Yan Gu, follow this red thread and enter my heart.”
After chanting dozens of times, her soul left her body, and she slowly opened her eyes. Standing before her was a woman in a bright red wedding dress, stunningly beautiful and proud, her eyes full of resentment and hatred. Her carefully drawn eyebrows and red lips were so deep they seemed about to drip blood.
Although she had seen her before, seeing her now was still shocking.
Yan Gu coldly said: “You’re bold, drawing me into your heart. Aren’t you afraid I’ll devour you?”
Steadying herself, she replied: “Anyway, I’ll be devoured soon, so what difference does it make?”
Yan Gu suddenly laughed, her voice eerily terrifying in this misty white realm: “Girl, you didn’t bring me here just for idle chat, did you?”
“
She nodded, asking: “How can I make you leave Mu Chen and this ghost realm alone?”
“Impossible! Xiao betrayed me, and I will destroy the ghost realm and massacre the royal clan!”
“Is there nothing else that matters to you? If you do this, what will become of you?”
“What do you know? You understand nothing!” she shouted, but her eyes shifted, and her face suddenly displayed a stunning smile. “I don’t necessarily have to do this. Help me with something, and after it’s done, I’ll spare the royal clan and the ghost realm.”
She quickly asked: “What?”
“Find my soul and bring it to me.”
She looked at her warily: “If you retrieve your soul, your spiritual power will be fully restored…”
Seeming to sense her hesitation, Yan Gu said solemnly: “I will bind us with a life-and-death curse!”
Hearing these words, she finally lowered her guard. It was the most binding. If either party violated the contract, they would immediately have their soul scattered.
If she found the soul and Yan Gu betrayed her, Yan Gu would die. Thinking this way, there seemed to be no hidden dangers. She looked up and asked: “You hate the ghost realm and royal clan so much. If you retrieve your soul, can you truly leave peacefully if I don’t let you harm them?”
She suddenly smiled mysteriously: “When you find that soul, you’ll understand.”
