Transmigrated into the love rival of a powerful and arrogant protagonist, forced into a daily love t

Inside the Ghost King's Palace.

Hearing Ghost King Qi Ming's gloomy words, even Pei Ji, who had seen many big scenes, couldn't help but be stunned.

The white-robed emperor frowned slightly, his tone steady but tinged with doubt, "Has someone stolen the primal power of the Underworld?"

"...There are still such audacious people in the world."

then.

Pei Ji then went to Fengdu City with Ghost King Qi Ming to search for him.

Pei Ji was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Is the stolen source power in Fengdu City?"

Qi Ming nodded, his dark green eyes gleaming, his voice low and strained, "I never imagined anyone would dare steal the primal power of the Underworld. Doesn't this person know that the order of the Underworld will collapse after losing its primal power?"

At this moment, anger flashed through the heart of this supreme king who cultivated the path of demons.

Pei Ji was somewhat uneasy.

"Fengdu City..."

"Yu Ge is there too..."

"...Probably not."

then.

After Pei Ji followed the Ghost King to find the location of the source power.

The two of them then saw...

Yu Ge was playing with the dark golden orb containing the power of the Yin Realm's origin.

Pei Ji: ...I knew it.

now.

Yu Ge toyed with the black-gold ball of light in his hand. The ball of light contained dappled starlight, and it seemed to contain an endless galaxy.

Who would have thought that this unassuming little ball of light actually contained the primordial power of the underworld—a power that embodies order…

Yu Ge also discovered Pei Ji and... Ghost King Qi Ming.

Upon seeing Pei Ji, Yu Ge quickly greeted him, "Pei Ji, where have you been?"

Pei Ji first glanced at Yu Ge, and seeing that she was unharmed, he then shifted his gaze to the ball of light in Yu Ge's hand.

Pei Ji spoke calmly, "Um, this thing in your hand..."

Yu Ge: ...

The girl felt a surge of annoyance.

She knew that this thing was the power of origin, but she couldn't very well say that her sword spirit saw the power of origin was pretty and looked like a glass ball, so she picked it up, could she?

and so……

Yu Ge looked seriously in Pei Ji's direction and said righteously, "This? I found it."

Qi Ming, who was standing to the side, first looked at Yu Ge and Pei Ji, and a look of surprise flashed through his mind.

Then, Ghost King Qi Ming approached Yu Ge and whispered, "Where did you pick this up? This thing is the source power of my underworld..."

Looking at the extraordinary bearing of the young man before her, who seemed like a great figure from the underworld, Yu Ge explained, "He'll be right here on the ground."

The Nine Netherworld Divine Fire within his divine consciousness: "..."

Qi Ming sighed, then said, "I am an official of the Yin Realm who guards the power of the Yin Realm's origin. In that case, please return this to me."

Seeing this, Yu Ge handed it back.

Pei Ji stood quietly beside Yu Ge.

In the past, if anyone dared to tamper with the origins of the underworld, the Ghost King Qi Ming would have them reduced to ashes and sent to the eighteenth level of hell.

But today...

Yu Ge's backer happens to be the strongest cultivator in the Six Realms.

Seeing this, Pei Ji said, "Now that the items have been returned, this matter is over."

With a single sentence from the Emperor, the theft of the primordial power was reduced to a minor matter.

Qi Ming nodded.

Then, Yu Ge blinked, "Was there any reward for those kind citizens of the Underworld who helped them regain their original power?"

Pei Ji: "..."

Qi Ming: "..."

Everyone: "..."

As Shen Liang, Zhou Liangyu, and the other group of Tongxuan prodigies looked embarrassed.

Nalan Liyue, however, held her senior brother's arm with a serious expression and said as if it were perfectly normal, "My senior brother doesn't want anything cheap."

Everyone: ...

Yu Ge: ...

Yu Ge quickly covered her junior sister's mouth, chuckled dryly, and said, "Haha, my junior sister was just joking. I'll take the cheaper one too."

Qi Ming: "..."

Upon hearing the actions of the young girl disguised as a boy, the Ghost King was momentarily stunned.

A sense of doubt flashed through Qi Ming's mind: Could there really be such a thing in the world...?

That's it.

Qi Ming: ...I can't beat the Emperor either.

After saying that, Qi Ming took out a jade pendant from his storage space.

The jade plaque clearly bears the character "戚".

Qi Ming placed the jade token into Yu Ge's hand, then sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "This is my identity token. People in the underworld will recognize me when they see this. Today, I'm giving it to you. From now on, you can freely enter the underworld without any hindrance."

Yu Ge's eyes lit up, "I don't expect anything in return for doing good deeds..."

Then, fearing someone might snatch it, Yu Ge quickly took the jade pendant back.

Qi Ming: ...

Seeing this, Wu Jinli, who was standing behind Yu Ge, couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself: She's so cute.

Pei Ji blinked, a deep interest flashing in his usually untouched eyes.

Pei Ji gazed at Yu Ge's profile, pondering: Yu Ge, just how does your heart fit?

In fact, Pei Ji's curiosity about Yu Ge stemmed more from his curiosity about her behavior and state of mind.

Yu Ge was only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, but he was neither humble nor arrogant in front of anyone. Moreover, Pei Ji never saw Yu Ge show any sadness or sorrow.

Yu Ge's state of mind is perhaps too open-minded.

Pei Ji felt a pang of envy, even... jealousy, at Pei Ji's open-mindedness.

Pei Ji wanted to get closer to that open-minded and beautiful heart...

He might be jealous of that vibrant and energetic heart.

Qi Ming only noticed something at this moment.

At first, he was just an emperor who was somewhat interested in the young girl in front of him dressed as a man, after all, she was indeed stunningly beautiful.

But after exchanging a glance with Yu Ge, Ghost King Qi Ming discovered something significant…

Qi Ming couldn't help but look at Yu Ge and ask, "Your eyes... are they golden?"

Yu Ge: ...Golden eyes are so beautiful, did I break a heavenly rule?

Yu Ge answered instinctively, "Yes."

Qi Ming nodded. He understood that he had met the young Lord of the Divine Eye.

The exquisitely beautiful young girl before me is the future Heavenly Dao.

Qi Ming smiled knowingly and immediately became polite, "If you encounter any trouble in the underworld in the future, you can always ask me for help."

The Ghost King was thinking about establishing a good relationship with the future Heavenly Dao, which was born to face the calamity.

but.

Yu Ge then remarked, "Wow, you hold a very high position in the underworld?"

The Ghost King paused, a smile flashing across his cold, pale face. "Not bad."

...He's just the boss of the underworld.

Yu Ge nodded and waved to Qi Ming with a smile.

Because all the missing geniuses of Tongxuan Continent have been found, and Pei Ji has returned, Yu Ge plans to destroy the teleportation map of the Xie family patriarch and return to Tongxuan.

Qi Ming narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, "By the way, you're not afraid of me?"

Indeed, Qi Ming's aura was very cold and gloomy. After Qi Ming entered this place, the other geniuses of the immortal sects were all terrified and trembling with unease.

Even Shen Liang and his Nascent Soul cultivators trembled involuntarily...

This is an innate fear of high-ranking monks.

Moreover, Qi Ming's murderous aura... was simply too strong.

but.

Yu Ge tilted her head and smiled, "Of course I'm not afraid. Didn't you say you'd protect me in the Underworld?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Qi Ming's eyes, then he nodded. "I'll be waiting for you in the Underworld."

Yu Ge: ...Something about this sentence doesn't feel right.

After all, if Yu Ge were to return to the Underworld again, except through the interdimensional gate, she would simply die.

Yu Ge: ...

Then, Qi Ming's figure disappeared.

Pei Ji also returned to Yu Ge's side.

However, as Pei Ji approached Yu Ge, Wu Jinli and the others pushed the Six Realms Emperor aside.

Pei Ji: ?

Wu Jinli said in a serious tone, "Oh, you're a patient, you even need to be fed. What if you get hurt if you're so close to us?"

Pei Ji: ...

Then, Yu Ge glanced at Lu Qingxue, Xu Qingyao, and other prodigies who had come with her, as well as the prodigies she had rescued from the underworld, and smiled slightly.

"Everyone, let's go home!"

However, just before Yu Ge was about to tear open the map and teleport away.

A figure suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The man's chilling voice echoed, "Leave the Crystal Heart behind!"
