Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

As the rules were applied to the tea party area, the scythe in the fake Jiang Luo's hand dissipated into black mist, leaking through his five fingers, and the small face that was exactly the same as Jiang Luo's also lost its smile.

"The first ironclad rule of the domain: apart from the host of the tea party, no guest may summon Blood Moon Mad Scythe."

Jiang Luo charged forward with her sickle, her shiny black leather shoes stomping across the floor. Her petite figure swept in front of her opponent, the scarlet blade already pressed against the neck of the fake Jiang Luo.

"Using Lolo's face to swindle people, and even eyeing Lolo's castle, you should pay rent for that face of yours."

The fake Jiang Luo did not dodge. She opened her mouth and uttered an ancient syllable, and echoes resounded from within the wall, even causing the cups and saucers at the tea party to vibrate.

"Upon hearing the name of the one who was buried, the source paused its breath three times."

As the rules of the old fortress were applied, the power flowing through Jiang Luo's body was forcibly cut off. The Blood Moon Scythe stopped at the neck of the fake Jiang Luo, just half a finger's width away from slicing through that pale skin.

The fake Jiang Luo withdrew from the blade's range and raised his hand to touch his neck.

"Your tea party can take care of the guests, but it can't take care of this grave. My other self, you're still a long way off."

Jiang Luo didn't respond. She bit down on the lollipop with her teeth, and the tiny fragments cut her tongue. The pain kept her awake and also made her count the remaining time according to the rules.

One breath.

Two breaths.

As the third breath ended, the dormant abyssal source began to surge again. Jiang Luo gripped the scythe handle firmly, but the fake Jiang Luo had already retreated to the other end of the corridor.

"Why are you running? Where did that confident look go?"

"I'm waiting for you to see your own grave clearly."

The fake Jiang Luo snapped his fingers, and the walls on both sides of the corridor collapsed inward, revealing rows of crystals behind the darkness, each encasing a white-haired woman.

Those bodies did not awaken, but the rule imprints remaining in the crystal all reached the SSS level. Dozens of imprints overlapped, and the floor could not withstand the pressure, sinking into large cracks.

Jiang Luo held the scythe horizontally in front of him to block the power surging from the crystal array.

"With so many sealers, you think you can trick Lolo into releasing them for you?"

"How could that be? I just prepared a bed for you."

The fake Jiang Luo retreated into the crystal, its outline gradually merging into the dark array patterns.

"This place is called the final tomb of the abyss. They all thought they could take that origin with them, but in the end they could only stay in the crystal."

"You will stay too. After I kill you, I will take over Red Moon Castle and collect all the crystals and servants for you."

Jiang Luo raised his sickle, the blade pointing at the location where the fake Jiang Luo was hiding.

"Before you start talking like Lolo, you should settle your accounts first. You want a castle, but you don't even know how much debt is in it. You're clearly not fit to be a lord."

"You don't dare to break the crystal?"

"The reverse psychology won't work on Lolo; Lolo will only dismantle the most valuable one."

Jiang Luo avoided the intact crystals and walked halfway around the array. His gaze stopped on a crystal covered with old cracks. The white-haired woman inside had lost most of her sealing power.

"I've found you."

The Bloodthirsty Feast spread crystals along the scythe blade, and the dark red seals attached to the surface were drawn away layer by layer, flowing into the Blood Moon Scythe. Cracks also spread throughout the entire crystal.

The fake Jiang Luo did not stop them, but only chuckled from deep within the crystal array.

"Go ahead and smash it, you'll regret it."

"Lolo's biggest regret is that she didn't cut you up sooner."

The scarlet blade slashed across, splitting the crystal in the center. Shards covered the carpet, and the white-haired woman trapped inside lost her support and fell to Jiang Luo's feet.

The woman's eyes were tightly closed, her skin was bloodless, yet the rule-based markings emanating from her still pressed down on the entire corridor, and the black chains binding her limbs were tightening subtly.

Jiang Luo braced her shoulder with the tip of his shoe, while the Blood Moon Scythe hung at her neck.

"Speak up if you're awake, don't pretend to be dead and demand payment for the space."

The white-haired woman did not respond. Just as Jiang Luo was about to cut the chains, she opened her eyes and looked over Jiang Luo's shoulder, landing on the slender shadow on the wall.

"Jiang Juechen, you've finally come to find me."

The call slipped into the shadows, and static filled the long-silent system channel. After several interruptions, the familiar electronic voice finally reappeared.

[Warning: The current target is bound by a marriage contract with the Lord of Calamity; she is Jiang Juechen's wife.]

Jiang Luo's hand, holding the sickle, froze in mid-air, his two tufts of hair pointing to one side.

"What the hell?"

"You lousy wretch, you have a wife, and you've kept her and this seal a secret until now. Just how much have you been hiding?"

There was a moment of silence in the system channel, followed by a dry cough.

[Back in the day, I had a good reputation, and the number of high-ranking unseen beings willing to follow me far exceeded your imagination.]

"Stop trying to glorify yourself. You wouldn't even waive 100,000 fear points for Luo Luo, and you call that a good reputation?"

[One thing at a time; the trial service cannot be free.]

"Shut up."

Jiang Luo looked down at the white-haired woman, and only after confirming that she was not going to attack for the time being did he move the scythe half an inch to the side.

"This is your wife. You should handle this yourself. Lolo is not responsible for resolving family conflicts."

I cannot manifest here.

"Weren't you acting all high and mighty at the castle gate just now?"

My essence is sealed in the deepest part of the tomb; this area repels my soul and can only maintain brief communication.

Jiang Luo turned to look behind the crystal array. The fake Jiang Luo had disappeared, leaving only a dark red corridor leading deeper into the area.

"If Lolo obtains that source, will he be able to break through?"

【able.】

"And you?"

[The soul will be restored, and the Senate outside will no longer pose a threat.]

Jiang Luo weighed the Blood Moon Scythe in his hand and looked back at the white-haired woman at his feet.

"You should have said so earlier. Luo Luo, go and retrieve your original essence first. As for your wife, since she won't block your way, Luo Luo won't charge you a processing fee."

When did you become so reasonable?

"Because Lolo suspects you can't afford it."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the white-haired woman's unfocused gaze gradually sharpened. She ignored the scythe hanging beside her and stared only at the abyssal aura surging within Jiang Luo's body.

The shared aura passed through the sealing chains and completely overlapped with Jiang Juechen in her memory, but the person standing in front of her was a white-haired girl who was just over 1.5 meters tall.

"Their auras are the same, and their compatibility is identical."

The woman propped herself up on the crystal shards, her gaze lingering on Jiang Luo's face for a long time.

Jiang Luo took half a step back, and the scythe was aimed at her again.

"Hey, you can look all you want, but Lolo charges a lot and doesn't offer any extra services."

The white-haired woman leaned closer and sniffed, then raised her face. Her originally pale cheeks flushed red with anger, and the surrounding crystals rang continuously under her out-of-control power of rules.

"You, you're actually Jiang Juechen's illegitimate daughter!"

The power of rules spread across the ground, the corridor exit was sealed by black chains, and even the fake Jiang Luo hidden in the crystal array was dragged out by the chains.

The white-haired woman raised her hand and pointed at Jiang Luo, her voice shaking the entire old castle.

"He really did cheat on me behind my back!"
