"Boom!" More pillars of fire fell from the sky. He no longer cared about what was behind him. He gritted his teeth, and his true energy transformed into solid flames. Before another wave of heat and fire could sweep over him, he finally plunged headfirst into the almost unrecognizable gate.

The portal to the heavens rippled a few times before disappearing completely.

The heatwave and pillars of fire missed their target.

On a patch of grass, the man and the Corpse King rolled together again, rolling a long way away. But this time it was better than last time, because there was someone to take him down with them.

Once the force finally dissipated, he immediately pried open the brat's hands, which were still tightly wrapped around him, and with a sway, disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already fully dressed, completely covered up.

As for the clothes from before, they have already turned to ashes.

He stared expressionlessly at the Corpse King Liuli, who was brushing the dirt off her body. When she saw him looking over, she immediately stood facing him, covering her back with her hands tightly, looking at him with considerable tension.

He tilted his head and looked, his eyes widening slightly, and blurted out, "You're naked from the butt too!"

Several puffs of smoke immediately rose from the head of the Corpse King Liuli, her cheeks flushed red, and she glared at him angrily: "Pah! Don't you dare say that!"

Kotegawa chuckled softly, suddenly feeling no shame.

Everyone has their own weaknesses now, which is the same as having no weaknesses and no one else has seen them, so the issue of being naked doesn't exist.

He seemed to sway again, tossed one of his coats to her, and said coldly, "Goodbye!"

The Corpse King Liuli held the coat in her hand, held it up to herself a few times, and said with some embarrassment and annoyance, "Wait! How am I supposed to wear something this big?"

"Wear it as a dress!"

"A skirt?" Corpse King Liuli was stunned for a moment. Seeing that he was about to walk away, she simply put the clothes on, took a step, and chased after him again: "Hey! You still haven't told me why you came to the Underground Kingdom!"

"It's none of your business!" Kotegawa replied casually, continuing to squint at the large sun in the sky.

This place... the underground kingdom, is more like the human world than the surface kingdom. The sun in the sky is like a real sun, with bright and dazzling light. The earth is mostly blue, and the distant mountains are undulating. White clouds dominate the sky, and the sky is clear, making him feel as if he has returned to the human world.

The Corpse King Liuli, who caught up with him and walked alongside him, raised her chin and said, "How is it? This is my mother's divine kingdom! It's better than the human world!"

Kotegawa stopped and looked down at her.

The Corpse King Liuli put her hands on her hips and said, "You just helped me out, so I'll call it even for you from before!"

"Think what you want." Kotegawa pointed to a road and said, "Go that way."

Corpse King Liuli subconsciously turned the corner, asking in confusion as she walked, "Why are you going over there? Aren't you going to the Divine Kingdom?"

Kotegawa shook his head and walked in the opposite direction from her, taking out the guiding stone that Kitami Takematsu had given him.

The guiding ice crystal left his hand and transformed into a beam of light, flying away into the distance.

His eyes flickered, and he was about to transform into clouds and mist to chase after them, but at that moment, he felt a weight on his waist again.

The Corpse King Liuli, who had just walked that way, suddenly turned back and hugged his waist again!

"Let go! You've arrived at your destination!" Kotegawa was quite annoyed, shouting at Bingjing as he transformed into a cloud to chase after her.

"Hey, I don't care!" Corpse King Liuli put on a rogue's face: "I'm going to see what good stuff Bei Yujian gave you!"

"I already said it has nothing to do with you! You scoundrel!"

"Hmph! You're such a scoundrel! You even took liberties with me! And you showed me a man's butt! If I can't get married in the future, you'll have to take responsibility!"

"You big jerk! You brat!" Kotegawa was so angry he jumped up and down. "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet!"

"Come on, come on! Let's have a fair fight! Oh, that stone is gone."

A golden cloud streaked across the sky and quickly caught up with the ice crystals ahead.

The Corpse King Liuli hanging there grinned, revealing a small, sparkling tiger tooth.

Chapter 185 Birdsong (Part 1)

In the western border of the land that resembles the human world, on a hillside covered with tiny wildflowers, Kotegawa sat cross-legged with a portable grill in front of him, the aroma of beef slices, potatoes, green peppers and garlic mingling together.

Kotegawa, suppressing his hunger, glanced at the rice cooking on his left and sprinkled a handful of salt and pepper and cumin into the baking pan.

The beef is already cooked, so it doesn't need many seasonings. Just pan-fry it in a little oil, and it will be delicious.

Suddenly, a small hand moved with lightning speed and snatched away the largest and thickest piece of beef from the baking pan, along with green peppers and a few cloves of garlic.

Kotegawa, who was inspecting the rice, suddenly turned around, but the thief was nowhere to be seen. Only the wisps of aroma stretched into the distance, disappearing in an instant.

He looked on expressionlessly.

Not long after, a sneezing sound suddenly rang out in the distance, followed by a loud shout of "It's so spicy!" before he finally grinned.

The shameless thief, who followed others around like a shadow, was fearless, but he couldn't eat spicy food—this was the conclusion he came to after having a lot of food stolen from him over the past few days.

He took out a plate, filled it with rice, poured some water into the baking pan, mixed the potatoes, beef, and green peppers together, put them on the plate, and then buried himself in the rice with chopsticks.

The sound of running footsteps came from afar; the Corpse King Liuli was coming over aggressively to cause trouble.

Kotegawa didn't even glance at it and continued eating.

The Corpse King Liuli ran up to him, glared at him for a while, then turned around, picked up the bucket, and gulped down the water.

Her stomach was like a bottomless abyss, showing no sign of movement, but most of the water in the bucket had already disappeared.

After drinking the water, she felt the spiciness on her tongue lessen considerably. She slammed the bucket down on the ground and yelled, "You did that on purpose!"

Kotegawa raised his eyelids slightly: "Huh?"

The Corpse King Liuli suddenly noticed the beef on his plate, which was also smeared with chili sauce. She was speechless for no apparent reason, and finally stammered, "You...you deliberately ate chili! Yes! Absolutely on purpose! You didn't eat it at all the days before!"

"Because eating chili peppers can fill you up." Kotegawa cleaned up the last bite of potato and beef on his plate, then scooped out a plate of rice and poured the gravy over it.

The steaming rice, infused with the meat gravy, became irresistibly fragrant.

The Corpse King Liuli's stomach rumbled, and she subconsciously opened her mouth, a glistening line of drool hanging from the corner of her lips.

"Would you like some?" Kotegawa kindly handed the plate to her.

Corpse King Liuli instinctively reached out to take it, but halfway through, she quickly withdrew her hand, slurped back her saliva, and stared at him without saying a word.

It was full of bright red chili peppers, but she wasn't going to fall for it!

Kotegawa chuckled, took the plate back, grabbed his chopsticks, and started eating.

The Corpse King Liuli standing opposite her started drooling again, and her stomach was rumbling as if Thor was beating a drum.

Kotegawa suddenly swallowed a mouthful of air.

The plate in his hand was snatched away at a speed he could hardly comprehend.

It is often said that appetite is a powerful force, and this is certainly true.

He looked at the Corpse King Liuli, whose eyes were red and who was crying from the spiciness while eating heartily, put down his chopsticks, and said kindly, "Get out of here after you finish eating."

The Corpse King Liuli also sat cross-legged on the ground, with her back to him.

Kotegawa didn't mind, tidied up the plates and rice pot, and walked away.

The ice crystal that Bei Yujianzun gave him disappeared a few days ago. That thing could not directly lock onto Xia Mushuren, but could only lock onto the place where he last stayed. These days he has been wandering around, looking for clues and hoping to run into Xia Mushuren.

Xia Mushuren possesses a treasure of the fox clan, and if he floats in the air, it might arouse suspicion, so we can only try this clumsy method to find him first.

As the sun gradually sank behind the western mountains, a light mountain breeze picked up. Kotekawa, who had pitched his tent on the leeward side of the hillside, looked around at the inky darkness, exhaled softly, stuck his sword into the ground, and crawled into the tent.

This place is like a human world during the day, but at night it becomes a complete ghost town, with a chilling wind that is bone-chilling and soul-destroying, even he can hardly bear it.

This is, after all, the divine kingdom of the Ghost Queen; it would be strange if there were no ghosts here.

"Boom..." A muffled rumble of thunder sounded outside, and soon after, large raindrops began to pelt down. Kotekawa awoke from his meditation, pondered for a moment, stood up, lifted the tent flap, and transformed into a cloud, drifting away in one direction.

On a bend in the hillside, the Corpse King Liuli sat on the ground with her legs bent, holding a large rock in her hands, shivering in the wind.

Kotegawa revealed himself, his true energy forming a barrier to keep the rain out, and silently watched her.

That's really a hardcore way to avoid the rain.

The Corpse King Liuli noticed him, and immediately stopped trembling. She stared at him with wide eyes, as if to say, "If you dare to laugh at me, I'll smash a rock over your head."

Kotegawa looked at her still slightly swollen lips, his lips twitched slightly, and he pointed in the direction of the tent, saying coldly, "There's another place to take shelter from the rain. It's up to you whether you come or not."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The Corpse King Liuli paused for three seconds, then stood up, picked up the stone, and chased after him, asking with a hint of suspicion, "You would be so kind?"

They had known each other for a while, and Kotegawa knew what kind of person she was, so he didn't say much. When he got back to the front of the tent, he bent down and crawled inside, hanging his shoes on the net outside.

The Corpse King Liuli watched from beginning to end, then threw the large rock above her head aside, clapped her hands, and followed suit, crawling into the tent as well.

The sound of rain immediately subsided, and the inside and outside of the tent seemed like two different worlds. She wiped her wet cheeks and looked around with wide eyes. It wasn't that she hadn't seen Kotekawa crawl through tents before, but she had only seen him from afar. This was the first time she had ever been allowed to come in like this.

"It's not a big deal, the place is so small..." she muttered to herself, while Kotegawa, who had just sat down, glanced at her sideways.

She quickly looked to the side, searched back and forth, and then glanced at her dirty clothes, feeling a little conflicted.

She was still wearing the coat that Kotegawa had given her, which could be worn as a dress, but it was so dirty that you could hardly see its original color.

A blanket fell beside her.

Kotegawa calmly said, "Hang this tattered outfit outside."

The Corpse King Liuli jumped up and down, saying, "Pah! It's not tattered! No! What you're wearing is tattered!"

Kotegawa, his face dark, reached for the blanket.

But the latter grabbed him tightly, glared at him, and put on a rogue-like face again: "You, you close your eyes!"

Kotegawa looked at her with disdain in his eyes, then got up and left the tent.

The Corpse King Liuli craned her neck to look for a while, then hurriedly took off her dirty clothes, crumpled them into a ball, and placed them aside. She wrapped herself in a blanket, then sat down with peace of mind, hiding her fair feet under the blanket as well. She said softly, "Alright! You, you can come in now!"

Kotekawa, standing at the entrance, lifted the tent flap, looked at the pile of dirty clothes beside him, reached out, grabbed them with his inner energy, and threw them into the water vat outside. He then used his inner energy to activate the water in the vat, causing it to swirl rapidly.

The Corpse King Liuli opened her eyes wide.

A few minutes later, Kotegawa retrieved the clothes and placed them one by one on the small tent.

His coat, tattered hooded cloak, and shorts that exposed his buttocks...
