The male supporting character was actually myself.

She accidentally pressed the power button, and the TV quickly turned on and promptly played an advertisement.

Jin Nian's face immediately showed four parts shock, three parts panic, two parts bewilderment, and one part curiosity.

“They…” she pointed at the people on the TV, her voice trembling slightly, “Are they being suppressed here?”

Why are they so happy even though they don't need to sleep, while I've been in a daze for thirteen years?

Yuan Xuefei quickly seized on the key point, "Weren't you asleep? How do you know that thirteen years have passed?"

"Um, that?" Jin Nian answered every question, stretching out her fair arm and instantly revealing a complex black pattern. "I have a record of the growth rings. After I wake up, I can sense how long I've been asleep."

Taking advantage of the situation, Yuan Xuefei suddenly had a look of realization, "So evil spirits can also have their own timers, that's amazing!"

"No, that's not true." Jin Nian concealed the tattoos on her arm, saying proudly, "Only I can do that!"

The brother and sister exchanged a glance.

After hanging up the clothes, Yuan Xuefei instructed, "Try them on in a bit to see if they fit."

If it's not suitable or you don't like it, we can go and change it tomorrow.

If the clothes fit well and you like them, put them in the laundry basket in the bathroom, and I'll wash them for you before you wear them.

Now turn on this, it's called a television, a leisure and entertainment appliance.

The people inside aren't suppressed or sealed away; they're actors or celebrities. They're real people, and the programs are recorded and broadcast using machines. Don't you in the underworld... have these kinds of entertainment facilities?

"Entertainment? What's that?" Jin Nian shook her head, completely bewildered. "The underworld is filled with endless darkness and all sorts of evil spirits."

The daily routine of evil spirits consists of trying to devour other evil spirits and trying not to be devoured by other evil spirits.

Chaotic, cold, and full of evil.

If you think about it, you'll realize that "Mingyu" is obviously a prison in the underworld.

The underworld is much better. It is guarded by the King of the Underworld. All ordinary spirits who die without resentment or karmic ties will enter the underworld and be uniformly managed and arranged to be reincarnated.

The underworld is different; it's full of wicked, evil, and filthy depraved spirits.

As for me... I'm not human...

Chapter 10: The evil spirit girl and the maid outfit go even better together!

Jiang Chen laughed and replied, "You're an evil spirit girl, of course you're not human."

"No, no, no, all other evil spirits are transformed from humans," Jin Nianchao explained earnestly. "Don't be fooled by how seemingly respectable the people living in this world are now."

He was even praised as a good person.

But many unknown evils, desires, and so on can hide in the soul.

Once someone dies and their body is discarded, what's inside might no longer be human.

They were human-like in life; after death, all sorts of strange and grotesque demons and monsters will appear.

These fallen evil spirits are not qualified to enter the underworld to be reincarnated as humans; they can only languish in the underworld, barely surviving in chaos.

but me……

I was born from a piece of Heavenly Yin Stone, formed from the essence of the 100,000 Black Mountains, the most Yin-heavy place in the Underworld.

The Heavenly Yin Stone took thousands of years to condense and take shape, and finally cracked open on a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour, and that's when I was born.

I was born with knowledge!

The little white cat, its two furry paws flying across the tablet as it played a game, remarked gossipily, "Wow, amazing! It actually popped out of a rock?"

"How about that? Never heard of it before, have you?" The proud Jin Nian felt that she had finally won a round.

The script does not provide a detailed account of her background.

Given the various splits in the plot, and Jin Nian's frequent demonic transformations that open the gates of the underworld, she can't be considered a minor character.

“I do know one.” Jiang Chen walked to the window, opened it, and breathed in the fresh air. He said slowly, “The last one that popped out of a crack in a rock was a monkey.”

Jin Nian was immediately taken aback. "The monkey? Where is it now?"

"Probably... in the sky?"

Yuan Xuefei was bewildered.

With spirits and monkeys involved, what are they talking about?

Jin Nian looked up at the sky intently, then shook her head and sighed after a moment, "I've never been to the sky, and I probably never will."

"Because I was born from the underworld..."

"If that's the case, then the Underworld should be your home. How did you end up in the human world?" The quick-witted Yuan Xuefei continued to gather information for her brother.

Jin Nian, who claims to be born with knowledge, appears to be a cool and aloof beauty, but her persona immediately crumbles the moment she opens her mouth.

"There are too many evil spirits in the underworld, and I always want to eat them."

But my instincts told me I couldn't devour those evil spirits, so I was torn.

When I'm craving something, I secretly eat one or two, then feel regretful afterward, but I still crave them when I'm hungry again. Unable to resist the temptation any longer, I decided to simply leave the Underworld and go somewhere else.

Out of sight, out of mind.

So... I ran around along the spatial rift, and finally heard the summons and came to the human world.

I never expected that there would be even more temptations here!

Those who have committed numerous evils and whose souls have long since fallen are fresher and more vibrant than evil spirits. I couldn't resist eating a few more, and as a result, I was discovered by the Celestial Masters.

"You know better than I do what happened after that. After so many years of suppression, I really don't know what the human world is like."

Jin Nian gritted her teeth in anger whenever she mentioned being suppressed. "You be the judge, what did I do wrong?"

Take the man I ate when I was arrested, for example. He killed four people for a box of money!

Quietly, so that no one else knows.

After strangling them alive, they were thrown into a strange, large pool, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Shouldn't this kind of person die?

Yuan Xuefei listened and considered it carefully. "If that person really killed someone, then he deserves to die. You did nothing wrong."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but facepalm. "Of course you're wrong!"

"Where did I go wrong by eliminating evil and punishing wickedness for your human realm?"

Seeing her defiant and sullen expression, Jiang Chen patiently explained, "Like I said, little sister, you've crossed a line."

The intention to eliminate evil and punish wickedness is good, but you must know—you do not have law enforcement power!

He is still a human being before his lifespan has ended, so naturally the laws of the human world will be there to punish him.

Even if he is lucky enough to escape detection and punishment, what if the spirits he killed return with karmic connections to seek revenge?

If you eat people, what will happen to the spirits that want revenge?

If they can't find their enemies and their obsession remains, how can they reincarnate in the underworld?

You have to follow the procedure!

Human laws can't punish him; no spirit will seek revenge; once he dies and falls into the underworld, he'll be at your mercy.

And most importantly: you cannot eat either evil spirits or human souls.

They will make you lose your senses, become increasingly addicted and irrational the more you eat, and eventually turn you into a mindless, devouring zombie.

"Huh?!" This was the first time Jin Nian had heard of it.

She only knew that her instincts told her not to devour evil spirits, but she didn't know why she couldn't eat them.

"how do you know?"

Faced with Jin Nian's bewildered expression, Xiao Bai, who was playing games on Jiang Chen's shoulder with her claws flying, grumbled, "It's all written in the script, I saw it all."

“My brother’s parents are both very powerful Taoist masters. They have access to all the secret documents of the Taoist sect. It’s normal for my brother to know these things.”

Before Jiang Chen could answer, Yuan Xuefei confidently interjected, "You can't go wrong by listening to my brother. He's the kindest person in the world and he never lies."

Jiang Chen: ...

"Yeah, yeah, he's not lying." Xiaobai paused the game and burst into laughter, "Hahaha... he's just conning!"

Upon meeting its host's calm gaze, it immediately changed its tune, saying timidly, "Oh no, I mean, I mean, I'm being reasonable... My host is the most reasonable person."

"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me..." The little white fluff ball mumbled softly, pretending not to exist, and continued playing the game while hugging its big tail.

Jiang Chen gave a cooperative smile, "I just want everyone to be well. If there are any problems, we can sit down and calmly discuss solutions. It's always better than fighting to the death."

You guys chat first, I'll go cook.

Jin Nian hasn't eaten for so many years, she must be very hungry.

“Uh…” Jin Nian was quite touched. She was about to say that she couldn’t eat human food, but she opened her mouth and then didn’t say it, afraid of disappointing the other party’s kindness. She could only nod and say, “Thank you.”

Yuan Xuefei affectionately took her hand, "You can watch TV anytime, why don't you try on the clothes first!"

Jiang Chen thoughtfully closed the door and went to the kitchen.

Jin Nian looked at the closet full of beautiful clothes, tugged at Yuan Xuefei's hand, and whispered, "That matter...did you tell your brother? I think...you should tell him, after all..."

"Let's wait until dinner time," Yuan Xuefei said, sounding a little uncertain.

So much happened today, she's still a bit overwhelmed.

The older brother suddenly understood many things, but the deal between himself and Jin Nian...

Pretending to cook, Jiang Chen put the ingredients into the food maker, selected the recipe, and waited for the food to be ready. Then, she changed the plates and bowls and put the food in the steamer to keep it warm.

"Have you finished testing? Dinner's ready!" Seeing that it was almost time, he set the sumptuous meal on the table and called out.

A moment later, Yuan Xuefei pulled a shy-looking Jin Nian out of the room. "Brother, is it pretty?"

A beautiful young woman with delicate features, fair skin, and a good figure, wearing a black and white modified maid outfit.

The neckline features delicate white lace tied with a black bow;

Her shoulders were partially undone, revealing glimpses of her bare shoulders;

The white ruffled lace at the chest outlines a full and perfect shape;
