Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

Inside the sedan chair, red candles exploded, casting chaotic shadows.

The air was thick with the smell of perfume and the decaying odor of old coffins, making one's head spin.

That pale, knife-like finger was hovering over the carotid artery of the red-clad vengeful ghost, Li Jiahui.

With just the slightest tremor, this newly appointed "traitor" would have his account removed from the list on the spot.

However, Li Jiahui did not kneel.

Instead of kneeling, this guy's eyes darted around, and he suddenly stuck out his tongue—on that deadly finger!

He took a big lick.

Slippery, warm, with a kind of shameless, nonchalant attitude.

The ghost bride, Li Muyue, froze completely.

The feeling was like a serial killer with severe mysophobia, who had already raised his knife, only to have the victim suddenly spit a wad of phlegm in her face.

The murderous intent collapsed instantly, leaving only physical nausea.

Are you sick?

Li Muyue withdrew her hand as if electrocuted, and frantically wiped it on the phoenix robe with disgust. Finally, a bit of life appeared in her stagnant eyes.

That was because she was angry.

"Sis, you haven't cut your nails in ages! Aren't you afraid of scratching your face, which even plastic surgery couldn't make?"

Li Jiahui approached with a grin, showing no trace of her previous servile demeanor.

"Besides, if you kill me, who's going to comb your hair? Who's going to listen to your complaints? This crappy place doesn't even have Wi-Fi, you can't even listen to NetEase Cloud Music, won't you go crazy all alone?"

Li Muyue stared at her coldly.

After a while, the oppressive aura that could crush a seventh-level martial artist finally dissipated.

She sat back down in front of the bronze mirror, picked up the ink brush, and spoke in a cold voice, her weariness barely concealed.

"Since you know it's a sea of ​​suffering, why bring outsiders in? Jia Hui, you've disappointed me so much."

"disappointment?"

The playful smile on Li Jiahui's face vanished instantly.

She looked at her sister in the mirror, who was breathtakingly beautiful, like an exquisite doll, with a pained expression.

"Sister, we've been in this dark, godforsaken place for far too long. So long that I've almost forgotten what it feels like to bask in the sun, so long that I've almost forgotten... what our names were when we were alive."

Li Muyue paused in drawing her eyebrows, and remained silent.

This is a cage of rules.

Since dying in that ghost marriage, their resentment has become the foundation of this place; they are both gods and prisoners here.

Forever and ever, never to be reborn.

"That's fate," Li Muyue sighed softly. "No one can escape it."

"No! It didn't exist before, but it does now!"

Li Jiahui suddenly rushed forward, grabbing her sister's cold hand tightly, her eyes filled with an unprecedented fervor, like a gambler betting everything.

"Sister, trust me this time! That boy outside... he's our only way out!"

Li Muyue frowned, trying to pull her hand away but unable to.

"A mere human brat? Are you blinded by his yang energy, or are you terrified?"

"Even if he's a seventh or eighth-tier master, or even a grandmaster, once he enters this Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, he still has to abide by my rules!"

"What if...he doesn't follow the rules?"

Li Jiahui took a deep breath, stared into her sister's eyes, and uttered each word slowly and deliberately, as if she had used all her strength to do so.

"He possesses... the aura of a human emperor!"

boom--!!

These four words were like a nuclear bomb, detonating on the spot in the cramped elevator car.

Li Muyue suddenly stood up, the movement so large that it overturned the mahogany stool behind her.

The heavy phoenix crown on her head trembled violently, the pearls and jade clattering wildly, making a series of frantic, crisp sounds.

Those lifeless black pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints, staring intently at his sister.

"What did you say?! The Human Emperor?!"

"After the severing of the connection between Heaven and Earth, the path to becoming the Human Emperor was cut off. How could there possibly still be a Human Emperor in this world?!"

Li Muyue's voice was so sharp it cracked.

As an old ghost who has lived for hundreds of years, she knows better than anyone the value of those two words.

That is the sovereign of all races, whose words are law, and whose mortal enemy is written in the DNA of all evil!

"Absolutely true!"

Li Jiahui was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"Just now outside, he didn't even lift a finger; the sheer aura emanating from his physical body almost sent my ghostly form flying!"

"That kind of fear that comes from the depths of one's soul... Sister, besides the Human Emperor, who else has that kind of prestige?"

The elevator car fell into a deathly silence.

The only sound was the crackling of the burning red candle.

Li Muyue's chest heaved violently, and after a long while, she slowly sat back down in front of the mirror.

She looked at herself in the mirror, half of her face covered by a red veil, and the shock in her eyes faded, replaced by a deep and cold gloom.

She is the dungeon boss, a vengeful ghost that has devoured the souls of countless players.

She doesn't easily trust anyone, not even her own sister.

"Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you try."

Li Muyue's voice turned icy cold again, filled with a chilling killing intent.

"If he is truly the Human Emperor, my rules cannot harm him in the slightest; in fact... that would be our destiny."

"But what if he's a charlatan, or a spoiled rich kid from a powerful family carrying some kind of exorcising artifact..."

She slowly reached out and completely covered her head with the red veil embroidered with the image of a hundred sons and a thousand grandsons.

It concealed her stunning beauty, and it also concealed all her emotions.

"Then let's keep it and use it as fertilizer."
