The Ghost King carefully observed her expression.

"I... I just did something that made Xiaoyu upset, didn't I?"

"So you knew?"

Meeting the Ghost King's uneasy gaze, Su Yu softened her tone and said, "Just don't do that again in the future. Now... let's go home!"

Under the moonlight, their shadows were gradually lengthened.

For the rest of the journey, the Ghost King was unusually quiet.

Su Yu didn't have much to say; she simply helped the drunken Ghost King along.

Back to number 180.

Ryoko was already standing at the door waiting.

The moment their eyes met, the Ghost King straightened up abruptly, staring at her menacingly.

"Lord Ghost King, what kind of look is that? Have you gone mad from drinking?"

Ryoko raised an eyebrow.

"You sent Xiaoyu to find me?" The Ghost King crossed his arms. "My Lord, do you think I'll thank you for doing this?"

Ryoko: "Isn't the tone of your voice already a sign of gratitude?"

Ghost King: "...Are you going to die?"

This guy's temper is still as bad as ever.

However, judging from her eyes, she was clearly no longer as cold and unapproachable as she initially appeared.

"You stinking fox, you're always doing unnecessary things, hmph!"

The Ghost King walked past her, but involuntarily quickened his pace.

Ryoko turned around to look at her.

It's said that dogs are more honest, while cats are always proud and aloof.

Ryoko didn't quite believe this before, but now it seems there's some truth to it.

Look at this arrogant guy.

If we let her arrogance go unchecked, she'll probably remain single for thousands more years.

Since she truly only loved Xiaoyu, Ryoko decided not to hold it against her.

"Miss Ryoko, it's getting windy. Why don't you go back and have some hot tea and warm yourself by the fire?"

307. A day of disaster, a turning point in fate!

It was late at night, close to dawn.

Red Fish, returning from hunting, frowned as he smelled the burnt odor coming from the house.

"What are you doing? Playing with fire!"

It's one thing for the Ghost King and Ryoko to be reckless and have a barbecue, but why did they also get Xiaoyu's face covered in ash?

Are you planning to barbecue cat and fox meat?

Su Yu coughed and waved her hand, signaling her to stop talking.

She had intended to make some milk tea for Ryoko and the other girl, but who knew that the charcoal here was so different from that in the real world!

Such a small piece of charcoal can unleash such a great deal of energy.

Flames flew straight from the bottom of the stove to the roof!

If Ryoko hadn't put out the fire in time, all three of them would be roasted alive by now.

Su Yu coughed violently and waved her hand, "Don't, don't say anymore... cough cough cough! I'm starting to suspect that this house could be set on fire if you just throw a cigarette butt in there."

"This place is about to catch fire."

The red fish wanted to calculate its fate with its fingers, but since it was now a little white snake without fingers, it could only calculate its destiny in its mind.

"Xiaoyu, this tribulation is destined to be yours. And because you have a deep bond with the tenants of this house, this tribulation will be even more difficult."

As she spoke, Hongyu looked at the Ghost King and Ryoko again, shook her head, and sighed.

"None of us have experienced this calamity, so even if we wanted to help you, we couldn't."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost King's face darkened: "What do you mean?"

"The biggest difference between Xiaoyu and us is not our strength, but our position."

The red fish swam to Su Yu's side and stood upright.

It's clear that she's very dissatisfied with her snake-like body.

It's so inconvenient to move around.

"She is still within the cause and effect of this world, while we have long since transcended cause and effect."

Ryoko looked at Su Yu thoughtfully.

She knew what Red Fish meant by that.

Simply put, Xiaoyu has not yet obtained the power to defy cause and effect.

She knew perfectly well what staying would mean, but there was no way to avoid it.

"Number 180's fate is fire, and Xiaoyu, who has already been forcibly placed here, cannot escape this fire either. If you forcibly take her away from here, then there are two possible outcomes."

At this point, the red fish paused for a moment.

"One possible outcome is that after Xiaoyu returns to that world, she encounters a series of bizarre deaths, either serious injuries or death."

"The second outcome is that Xiaoyu breaks through her own limits and gains power strong enough to break free from cause and effect."

These two outcomes clearly have probabilities of occurring of 99.99% and 0.01%, respectively.

Given Su Yu's terrible luck, the second outcome is negligible.

The Ghost King sighed.

"ok, I get it."

She turned her head to look at Su Yu, then suddenly reached out and pulled her into her arms.

"Xiaoyu, good luck then, we're off."

After the hug, she prepared to leave.

Ryoko stared at her blankly: "How come you're suddenly so righteous?"

The Ghost King didn't speak, but simply gave her a wink.

So, Ryoko hugged Su Yu, then got up and left.

Once outside, the tipsy Ghost King patted Ryoko's shoulder heavily.

"Foolish fox, don't worry, I've already arranged everything."

What have you arranged?

"You'll know then."

The Ghost King yawned.

"The rest is up to Xiaoyu herself."

The red fish swam behind them and said slowly, "There's a limit to how much you can look down on Xiaoyu."

As she walked, she noticed the problem.

The street, which should have been pitch black, was now filled with twinkling fluorescent lights.

These fluorescent lights, like a bright green ribbon, enveloped the entire No. 180.

No, it wasn't just number 180; even in the distance, this peculiar fluorescence seemed to be visible.

"They actually set up a magic array that can conceal cause and effect within a radius of ten miles..."

With that kind of thing, Su Yu's situation tonight will be much easier.

She wasn't going through this ordeal alone.

She had someone of the Ghost King's caliber shielding her from such a large portion of the damage!

Looking at the drunken, dazed Ghost King, Red Fish fell silent.

"Black Cat, is it worth it? You didn't go to this extent just to compete or show off, did you?"

"Ok?"

Miss Ghost King turned around and glanced at her.

"Hmph, and you're talking about others. You too, if you're going to look down on my feelings, there should at least be a limit."

To compete or show off?

Ah, perhaps there is some truth to that.

But actually, my biggest wish is just to let my wife win comfortably without lifting a finger.

"But doing good deeds anonymously is so different from the black cat I know."

The red fish smiled meaningfully.

"Is the power of love really that great? It can even change someone as stubborn as you?"

Miss Ghost King, having been exposed, glared at her fiercely.

He stepped on her vital spot and ground his foot into it hard.

Hearing the red fish's screams and curses, she snorted:

"If you ever talk nonsense again, I'll make soup out of you."
