The Ten Ghost Kings, Shang Xian, who ranks second, is getting married. Although the Underworld is gloomy, it's rarely lively.
Song Jue and I are now more awkward than when we came. We could only participate in the ceremony with a small distance between us.
The bride has already been brought over. It's said Shang Xian met her in the mortal world. A human-ghost romance, with love, hate, and foolishness. The girl died and was perfect with him. What a twist of fate.
I leaned aside and watched the two of them bow in marriage. My heart produced some envy.
Xiao Ci was inside the hall and actually didn't carry the umbrella. Without the umbrella's shadow covering, he looked even more pale and beautiful.
I don't know when this person leaned beside me. His voice was very light, like a sigh, like regret, like unwillingness, even more like sadness. He said, "Speaking of it, I and Your Highness still owe a grand wedding."
My heart sneered. I turned and looked at him coldly. I said, "Thousands of years of tangled accounts. I don't want to settle with you. Are you pushing for more?"
Xiao Ci smiled lightly and said something very low, scattered in the room's liveliness. I said, "I wish Your Highness settles with me."
My ears were sharp. I raised my eyebrows. I said, "Don't be impatient. Trapping me for thousands of years, I naturally remember it clearly, never dare forget."
Who knew that hearing me say this, Xiao Ci was not as light as before. His face turned paler. He pressed his lips and didn't respond.
I was too lazy to care about him. I turned my head away, collided with Song Jue's gaze. I don't know how long he looked, only know those dark eyes were full of deep color, as if wanting to absorb me.
My heart trembled. I opened my mouth, wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.
Shang Xian's wedding feast lasted seven days. When Song Jue, Xuan Yu, and I were preparing to leave, we were stopped by the First Ghost King Si Xing and his people.
I was actually not very surprised. Each Ghost King in the Underworld is stubborn. The Underworld was suppressed by Heaven, treated as Heaven's subordinate organization. They never had good relations with Heaven.
Shang Xian got married, there was no reason to so solemnly invite us from Heaven to congratulate.
It turned out they expected to detain us three unlucky ones, declare war on Heaven, and strive for complete separation.
When in someone's territory, one must lower their head. Song Jue and I were weak and could only let others control us.
Xuan Yu has no martial ability. Song Jue and I couldn't just abandon her. Moreover, what Si Xing brought was not some weak soldiers, but the Third Ghost King and Fifth Ghost King.
I looked at Song Jue. I saw this person's wrist turn, as if forming a spell. Before I could see and understand clearly, he coldly looked at Si Xing and said, "Go."
Si Xing smiled and said the prince understood the situation. He pressed us three into the tenth level of the Underworld prison. It was very spacious, dim with light, and only pressed us three.
Xuan Yu is a Civil God, and also a Civil God with a small and weak body. This time, she had already fainted.
Now only Song Jue and I looked at each other. I said, "The spell you just formed...?" Before I could finish speaking, I heard steady, familiar footsteps. Xiao Ci walked in.
Xiao Ci frowned, seemingly somewhat unhappy. His gaze stopped between Song Jue and me. He said, "Your Highness, I came to take you out."
I thought in this situation, I should accompany Song Jue to live and die together. But I never had this awareness. Moreover, only with freedom can I handle matters.
Although I privately thought Xiao Ci and I should be enemies meeting with red eyes, but considering Xiao Ci likes the surface approach, I never tore face with him.
I nodded and temporarily complied.
Xiao Ci led the way. I couldn't help but look back at Song Jue. My lips slightly moved, said "wait for me," but I don't know if he saw.
