Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

The young girl was Luo Zhuluan, daughter of Luo Yi from Youzhou and younger sister of Luo Cheng.

As the descendant of a famous general, Luo Zhuluan had some martial arts skills, but of course, she was far inferior to her brother Luo Cheng.

As for her current recollection of her past life memories and the inner core she found in Su Hui to re-condense her past life's demon body and cultivate, the extent of her hidden strength is unknown to anyone but herself.

Luo Zhuluan firmly believes that there is no reason why she suddenly recalled her past life.

At that moment, just as Leifeng Pagoda was about to be destroyed, the official embraced her and the Xiaoqing sisters, saying that they would be together again in the next life.

She believed that both the official and Xiaoqing were still in this world.

Luo Cheng glanced at her and said irritably, "What are you going to do with me?"

The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!

Finally, he had the opportunity to go out, and it was the perfect time for him to make a name for himself and become a legend in the martial arts world.

He doesn't want to have a burden on him.

The so-called brother and sister are often those who have a good relationship but also find each other annoying.

Luo Cheng didn't dislike his sister, but he also didn't want to keep her by his side at all.

Luo Zhuluan glanced at her brother, then looked at her mother and said, "I understand. My brother thinks the world outside is too dangerous, and he's not skilled enough to protect me..."

Luo Cheng puffed out his chest: "Who says I'm incompetent? Who says I can't protect you?"

Luo Zhuluan continued looking at her mother: "He's even more afraid that I'll persuade my aunt to move in with us. The journey from Shandong to our Youzhou is quite long, and there are probably many petty thieves and bandits along the way. He's afraid he can't defeat them..."

Luo Cheng said anxiously, "Mother! How could that be what I meant? Let alone petty thieves and small-time bandits, even the most powerful notorious bandits and outlaw leaders, how many of them could be my match?"

Luo Zhuluan retorted sarcastically, "Then why are you afraid of me going with you?"

Luo Cheng chuckled coldly: "What am I afraid of?"

Luo Zhuluan continued to mock, "I know, you're afraid that you'll encounter some bandits or highwaymen you can't beat on the way, and I'll see it. Don't worry, brother, I will never laugh at you."

Luo Cheng angrily said, "If you want to go, then go with me. With my abilities, I don't believe there's anyone in this world who can rival me."

Luo Zhuluan looked at her mother again: "Mother! My brother has agreed, so I will go with him to wish my aunt a happy birthday. As for the birthday gift, I will choose it. My brother is always careless as a man, so he obviously can't do this kind of thing."

Mother Luo chuckled and said, "Since he has agreed, then let it be. Cheng'er, I know you are capable. With you looking after your sister, I can rest assured."

Luo Cheng: "..." He fell into the trap.

After easily getting her brother under her thumb, Luo Zhuluan began to discuss with her mother what gifts to send to her aunt for her birthday.

After dusk, she took out paper and pen and began compiling a gift list.

As she wrote, she looked at the yellow candle on the table again. For some reason, her mind was filled with memories of her previous life, of her husband, her lover, and Xiaoqing making love in various positions.

She sighed softly, turned around, picked up the bronze mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror.

Her beautiful face was reflected in the smooth bronze mirror, and she let out a soft sigh.

The reflection in the mirror looked almost identical to her previous life, with little difference.

The official and Xiaoqing must be the same; they would definitely recognize each other if they met.

My cousin Qin Qiong has traveled the world and has friends all over the country; he's also a government official. Perhaps asking him will yield some information.

If I fail to meet my lord on this trip, I will have no choice but to run away from home and travel the world to find him.

In the evening, Wu Qing, Dou Xianniang, and Shan Ailian drafted the birthday gifts to be given in Jinan.

"We're just a small mountain stronghold, so we don't need to make anything too expensive," Wu Qing said. "But thinking about it, with all the heroes gathering at that time, it wouldn't be good to be too shabby."

Dou Xianniang said, "That's alright!"

"I have long admired the name of the hero Qin Shubao. Although he is in public office, he is a man of great integrity with friends all over the world. Sending him gold or silver would be vulgar."

"I once spent a lot of money to have a brass dragon-slaying mace made, intending to use it for practicing mace skills. However, the mace was too heavy, and I never felt comfortable using it, so I kept it as a collection and never used it."

"It's just sitting there anyway, so it's a perfect gift. It's already new, but it'll look nicer if we put it in a brocade box."

Dan Ailian said softly, "There is brocade hidden in the mountains. I will have someone make a wooden box based on that mace, and then wrap it with the finest brocade. That will be fine."

"I've met Uncle Qin a few times before at Erxianzhuang. He's a generous and righteous man. As long as I've done my best, he'll naturally be happy."

Dou Xianniang smiled and said, "Then it's decided. It's getting dark now, and there's no rush. We can do it tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she got up and took Shan Ailian to the backyard.

Before leaving, Shan Ailian turned back and winked at Wu Qing.

Wu Qing, holding a feather fan, shook his head and chuckled.

Wu Qing returned to his residence and washed up in the yard.

As darkness fell, the village fell into complete silence.

In those days, there wasn't much entertainment once it got dark. The only people active outside were the soldiers rotating on the stockade walls, the sentries on the arrow towers, the night watchmen, and the patrolling soldiers.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the window.

Wu Qing turned around, and the little green snake darted into the window and nimbly jumped onto the wooden bed.

As it leaped over, it seemed to have invisible wings, allowing it to glide through the air for a short distance.

The little green snake landed on the couch and burrowed into the quilt.

The blankets slowly rose, and the little beauty knelt on the couch, wrapped in his blankets, with only her little head peeking out.

Although she was holding onto the edge of the quilt with both hands, the gaps between the quilt covers still revealed glimpses of her skin, making it exceptionally alluring.

Wu Qing sat down beside the couch, leaned close to her face, and chuckled, "When you transform, can't you conjure your clothes along with it?"

Dan Ailian, her naked body wrapped in a quilt, blushed: "Back then, the clothes my sister and I wore were just snakeskins we shed ourselves. The snakeskins had demonic power, so they could turn into clothes."

"I am still human now, but I can transform into a snake using my old inner core, but I can't conjure up clothes."

Wu Qing reached under the covers and felt around; sure enough, there were no clothes. He laughed and said, "Oh, that's fine too."

"Good brother, you're a bad person!" Shan Ailian wrapped herself in a blanket, nestled in his arms, and lay on her side on his lap.

"They say I'm a good brother, and they say I'm a bad guy!" Wu Qing said with a laugh, hugging the pretty young woman. "So, am I good or bad?"

"Although he's a good brother, he's a bad guy!" The pretty girl gave him a charming look.

That bright, sparkling look made him melt to the bone.

"Besides turning into a snake, what else can you do now?" Wu Qing hugged the pretty girl and asked curiously.

If he didn't bring any real skills, then all his efforts in training them in his previous life were wasted.

Even if it's a freebie, as a man he'd be happy to do it!
