The strangeness has come, I am a god with trillions of ghost money

Chapter 320 Her name disappeared from the Book of Life and Death
Xi Jinzhi grabbed Song Mang's waist and pulled her to the other side, shielding her from the red light.

A white blade appeared in his well-defined hand and stabbed it into the painted pottery eye in the wall.

boom--!
A terrifying purple-gold ghostly power spread out.

The blinding red light vanished instantly.

Because Xi Jinzhi acted quickly, destroying the painted pottery eyes almost as soon as the red light spread, Song Mang was not exposed to the red light.

Song Mang peeked out from behind him, looking at the wall that was shattered in large chunks, "That's...that's it?"

Xi Jinzhi: "..."

With a crash, pebbles scattered all over the ground, mixed with many colorful shards of earthenware, revealing a dark room behind the wall.

The floor of the dark room was also covered with colorful pottery shards.

Xi Jinzhi only threw one punch, but the ghostly power that spread out was very strong, directly shattering all the terracotta figures hiding in the dark room.

Although the terracotta figures were smashed into pieces, they were not completely destroyed. Red light emanated from the terracotta fragments, suggesting they might be pieced back together in a while.

Xi Jinzhi noticed that the red light on the pottery fragments was becoming more and more obvious. He grabbed Song Mang's hand and disappeared from the spot in the next second.

"These things are invincible. Get out of here and get to the safe house quickly, or we'll be worn down."

He was uncanny, yet he wasn't afraid of the blood moons carried by those terracotta figures.

Song Mang is human, and his body is already showing signs of terracotta warrior-like transformation. If he were to be affected by the power of the Blood Moon, his entire body would likely turn into a terracotta warrior!
Song Mang's arm and leg have already turned into terracotta figures, becoming stiff blocks of painted clay.

Xi Jinzhi grabbed her still-intact hand and used his ghostly power to teleport her away.

Song Mang felt the environment around him changing rapidly, and soon they appeared in another underground passage.

He was moving so fast that Song Mang couldn't even tell where they were in the castle.

"Reached?"

Song Mang asked a question.

He replied, “We arrived at an underground space that was probably a safe house. There was an underground altar there, which was used by Zhao Gao for sacrifices.”

Other strange tales about the castle say that when Zhao Gao was performing sacrifices, no other supernatural beings could disturb him, and they were not allowed to enter the underground altar without permission at other times.

When I observed other strange behavior, I deliberately avoided this place, so I suspect it might be a safe house, but I'm not 100% sure because I didn't find any statues inside.

Song Mang nodded. "You said there are two places that might be safe houses. Where is the other one?"

"There is another place, which is Zhao Gao's bedroom."

Xi Jinzhi said, "That place is also a place that other strange creatures would deliberately avoid, and when Zhao Gao rested, he did not allow any strange creatures to follow him."

Song Mang stroked his chin and said, "Zhao Gao is dead, but the statue sent terracotta warriors to hunt me down. I guess they want to turn me into a terracotta warrior too."

If we hide in this underground altar, and the terracotta warriors can still chase after me and harm me, then this isn't a truly safe place. The safe place should be Zhao Gao's bedroom.

"Okay, let's go in and give it a try!"

Xi Jinzhi gripped her hand tightly, about to pull her into the underground altar, but Song Mang lost her balance and crashed headfirst into him.

Xi Jin instinctively reached out and hugged her.

Song Mang practically threw herself into his arms, and he was stunned for a moment when he felt the warmth of her body.

"you……"

Xi Jinzhi quickly let go of her hand and tried to back away, but Song Mang pulled back her still-intact arm and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. She used her arms to brace herself against his neck, straightened up, and said, "No offense, Mr. Xi, but I'm practically a one-legged beast now, could you please not walk so fast?"

Xi Jinzhi noticed her arm, which had turned into terracotta, hanging by her side, and realized that one of her legs had also turned into a terracotta figure, making it impossible for her to walk.

"Feel sorry."

he whispered.

Song Mang wrapped her arms around his neck and suddenly noticed that the tips of his ears were red. She blinked and said, "I can't walk anymore, so why don't you carry me?"
In case this place isn't a true safe house, it'll be easy to escape if something happens inside.

"..."

Then she noticed that his ears had turned even redder, but his refined and elegant face remained expressionless, as indifferent as ever.

Song Mang's lips curled up, her arms around his neck tightened, and her body pressed closer to his.

His body was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth, but her warm breath was right next to him.

Xi Jinzhi couldn't help but frown and said, "Could you let go first?"

"open?"

Song Mang said with amusement, "So you don't want to carry me? But I can't walk like this, can't you help me?"

His body was slightly stiff, and he stood there coldly, saying, "I remember you have a bone staff ghost artifact. Take that ghost artifact out and sit on it, and you can move freely."

She clicked her tongue lightly, "Xi Jinzhi, you really don't want to hug me? Then why are you blushing?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and suddenly blew a breath towards the tip of his ear.

Xi Jinzhi's eyes darkened, and his expression grew colder. "This is not the time for jokes like this. You've gone too far!"

He reached out to push Song Mang away, but found that her hand seemed to be holding onto something.

Before Xi Jinzhi could react, Song Mang's teasing voice came again, "Xi Yu, you've been the King of Hell for so long, has any woman ever hugged you like this?"

"..."

Hearing the flippancy in her words, a chill flashed in his long, cold phoenix eyes, and he shoved Song Mang away without hesitation.

A tearing sound.

The moment Song Mang was opened, he ripped off the belt around his waist and then casually hopped onto the white bone staff next to him.

Song Mang flicked the belt in her hand. "Looking at your whole body, this belt is the only spatial artifact. Is your Book of Life and Death in here? It's fine if you don't want me to see it; I can just look at it myself."

"Song, Mang!"

Xi Jinzhi gripped his robes tightly with both hands, his handsome face ashen, his eyes filled with rage.

"Give it back!"

He said coldly, "You are not the owner of the Book of Life and Death. Even if you get it, you can't read it!"

She chuckled softly, "Now that I've got it, I'll naturally figure out a way to check the contents."

Sitting on the white bone staff, Song Mang swung his belt and flew directly into the underground altar.

Xi Jinzhi used his ghostly power to create invisible ropes, temporarily binding his robes.

He coldly stared in the direction Song Mang had left and said, "Since you're so eager to know, I can tell you directly. Her name has been removed from the Book of Life and Death."
