Junior Sister must ascend this time!

At this moment, the palace doors opened wide, and a large group of ghost generals stood outside.

"From today onwards, I will be in charge of the ninth floor."

As soon as Yun Qing finished speaking, her aura surged, and the Ghost King's pressure poured out.

Ah Le and the ghost generals outside the palace couldn't help but kneel down, shouting:

"Welcome to the throne, Lord Ghost King! May your power endure for eternity, forever guarding your venerable countenance!"

Standing to the side, Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Junior Sister Yun Qing is truly amazing whether she's alive or dead! This is so impressive!"

Si Mingche slapped him on the back. "Hurry up and record it. If we don't record this cool scene for our junior sister, she'll get angry and make you kneel down and kowtow."

Lu Xingzhou shut up and, together with Si Mingche, each took a photo stone and started snapping away at Yun Qing and the kneeling ghosts, capturing every single detail.

Having had his fill of fun, Yun Qing rose from the throne in a good mood. "Let's go find some other ghost kings to play with."

Ah Le knelt on the ground with his head down, secretly delighted. He wished he could go down quickly and die on the lower floors.

He killed her sister and wanted to become the Ghost King of the Ninth Level.

Once they left, she would find an opportunity to send a message to the Ghost Emperor. Even if the Ghost Kings below didn't make a move, it didn't matter; the Ghost Emperor would definitely make these human souls fly! shatter! scatter!

Jie Jie Jie...

Yun Qing walked past her and said coldly, "You, come with us."

Ah Le suddenly looked up, pointed to himself, and said, "Me?"

"You're going...why are you taking me with you?"

The words "send to your death" stuck in her throat; she didn't dare say them.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "You've never seen the Ghost Emperor before, haven't you? Then we'll satisfy your curiosity. Besides..."

"Your sister told you to take good care of yourself. As your handsome older brother and sister, we naturally can't bear to leave you here alone. What if you do something rash and go with your sister?"

Ah Le was furious, almost to the point of vomiting blood. "What if I just don't go?"

Pei Shubai drew his Jingfeng Sword. "Then I'll have to kill you first, and then go down."

What to do if your child is disobedient? Just discipline them.

Ah Le gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, following behind the five people. As long as he was alive, he could think of a way to take revenge later.

Just then, Yun Qing said again, "Lead the way."

The sword light of the Jingfeng Sword flashed, and Ah Le reluctantly said, "Yes, Lord Ghost King."

Then, he quickly walked in front of the five people and led the way.

Yun Qing followed behind her at a leisurely pace. Upon seeing her, the ghost generals and officials knelt down on their own, saying, "Respectfully bidding farewell to the Ghost King! May the Ghost King live a thousand years, forever guarding the Netherworld!"

Ah Le led them not to an ordinary passage, but to a secret path reserved for the Ghost Kings.

"Going down from here will allow you to see the Ghost King more quickly without having to go through the entrances to each floor."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked ahead to guide the way. Yun Qing lingered at the entrance of the passage for a while before following her.

Si Mingche noticed that Yun Qing had placed several small stones at the entrance of each of the first eight floors. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now it seems... his junior sister must be hiding something from him!

Unable to contain his curiosity, he leaned close to Yun Qing's ear and asked, "Junior Sister, why do you play with pebbles at the entrance to each floor?"

Just as Yun Qing was about to explain, she saw Si Mingche looking heartbroken and continuing, "Is it because the stones in the Ghost Realm are more valuable? Are you trying to secretly make a fortune behind our backs?"

Yun Qing: ...Third Senior Brother's thought process is as abstract as ever.

Forget it, I won't explain it to him anyway, he wouldn't understand.

She rolled her eyes silently and said, "Third Senior Brother truly lives up to his reputation as the only son of the Si family. He has both good looks and a business mind, and he's also intelligent enough to be a business savvy individual..."

Si Mingche: ? ? ? "I didn't understand..."

Pei Shubai said coldly, "Junior Sister is calling you a money-grubber."

Si Mingche wasn't angry when he heard this; he was even more certain that his junior sister had secretly hidden the Ghost Realm gems.

Ah Le said they would see the Ghost King soon, and the five of them didn't expect it to be so soon...

Not only was it fast, but it also showed great honesty...

A completely naked, utterly honest encounter...

"Aaaaaaahh ...

In the steaming pool, a burly, broad-shouldered male ghost, his upper body bare, blushed and covered his body upon seeing the five people, his voice cracking.

"Who are you! Who let you in?"

Si Mingche also fell silent. Why is it that every time he and his junior sister look for someone, it's when that person is at their most vulnerable?

He chuckled, "Such a familiar scene, such familiar lines..."

Pei Shubai looked at him with a look of astonishment, "Third Junior Brother, you... have a penchant for peeping at people taking baths."

Si Mingche: "What?! Last time when we were looking for Elder Meng in the Illusionary Spirit Clan, he happened to be taking a bath too. But that was a coincidence, really!"

Pei Shubai's face darkened. "While I was away, you took your junior sister to do these kinds of things?"

Si Mingche: "I'm innocent! Would you believe me if I said it was Junior Sister's idea?"

He had barely finished speaking when Pei Shubai kicked him away...

As they spoke, the male ghost was already fully dressed. His face was extremely grim. "You dare to trespass here? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Yun Qing stepped forward. "I am the newly appointed Ghost King of the Ninth Floor. I have come here specifically to pay you a visit. Please forgive my earlier... offense."

"We really didn't expect that this Ghost King would build the Ghost Qi Pool near the secret passage."

The Ghost King on the tenth floor muttered, "Ghost Kings used to forbid cooperation, so almost no Ghost Kings would appear from here. The ghost energy around this secret passage is so dense, it's such a waste to leave such a large area empty... Who knew... who knew that a blind Ghost King would actually come."

He cleared his throat twice, then resumed his icy demeanor. "The Ghost King previously forbade cooperation, yet you've come to visit me so soon after taking office. What exactly do you want?"

Yun Qing didn't waste any words and said directly, "We're going to the next floor."

"The next level?" The ghost king narrowed his eyes. "What would a ninth-level ghost king like you do going to the eleventh level?"

Yun Qing: "No, I'm not going to the eleventh floor, I'm going to the eighteenth floor."

The tenth-level ghost king laughed loudly, "You?!"

"What if I don't let you pass?"

Yun Qing crossed her arms, showing no fear. "That's fine, but then we'll have to force our way in."

The tenth-level Ghost King sneered, "Trying to force your way in? You think you can defeat me?"

Yun Qing also laughed and said, "As for whether I can beat you, you'll lose as soon as you make a move."

The Ghost King frowned: "What do you mean?"

Yun Qing: "Ghost Kings are not allowed to fight each other. You know this rule better than I do."

"It's not against the rules for us to come and visit you, and it's not against the rules for you to let us pass. But if we make a move, the only outcome will be that one side disappears and the other is stripped of their ghost status by the Ghost Emperor and thrown into the endless purgatory."

Yun Qing looked directly into his eyes. "Lord Ghost King, the choice shouldn't be difficult, should it?"

The Ghost King's face darkened. "Are you threatening me?"
