“Why did you come to the infinite hell? I don’t remember there’s an entrance here.” Qi Huan asked, her body still stuck to Mo Ye, her arms around his neck, and she pressed her weight on him.
“I came to look for someone…You have gained a lot of weight.” After saying a few words, Mo Ye lowered his head and looked at Qi Huan carefully, and then came to this conclusion.
“Huh? Are you sure?” Qi Huan glanced at her flat lower abdomen, was she really fat? But… she was a deity, could a deity gain fat? She looked up at Mo Ye suspiciously, “I’m not fat…”
“Here, here feels chubbier.” Mo Ye smiled evilly while pinching the soft part of Qi Huan’s chest.
“Go to hell!” Qi Huan’s screams resounded through the entire place.
Originally, he had managed to calm Qi Huan down. But now, she was so angry that she directly grabbed Mo Ye’s clothes, tearing it apart, and biting his arms and neck. As expected, women shouldn’t be irritated simply, otherwise they would be more terrifying than landmines. There were Qi Huan’s teeth marks on his arms and neck, and scratches on his chest could be seen through his torn clothes.
“Huh? How are you bleeding?” Qi Huan reached out to grab his arm, looking at the spot she had gnawed on, in astonishment. Do ghosts bleed too?
She became even more puzzled at this thought. Mo Ye seemed to have a heartbeat, and even his body temperature was recovered now. Could it be that he had become a human being again?
“Immortal ghosts are no different from immortals, except that I am a ghost cultivator.” Because he had changed from a devil cultivator to a ghost cultivator, it was difficult for his body to adapt for a while. But now he had almost recovered. Basically, he was no different from normal immortals. Mo Ye snapped his fingers, and his clothes that were torn thanks to Qi Huan sewed back together into a robe, wrapping around his body.
He was in a white robe, with a wide-brimmed belt embroidered with cyan patterns. Qi Huan didn’t quite understand why Mo Ye would prefer light-colored clothes. Weren’t devils usually dressed in black? He should also cover his face, arms, and necks, leaving his eyes, so that he looked mysterious.
“Why don’t you wear black clothes?” Qi Huan took the opportunity to touch Mo Ye’s strong chest. How could she be the only one taken advantage of, of course she must take revenge. She must touch him back, otherwise he would think that she was easily bullied.
“You like black?” Mo Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.
“…No, I don’t.” She was already tan enough, so she didn’t need to wear black clothes to make herself look darker. But still, he didn’t have to dress so… clean. If Mo Ye hadn’t always smiled so wickedly, at first glance, people would really think that this man was a gentle scholar. He would look like a real scholar from paintings if he held a fan as well.
Too deceptive. People who hadn’t been in contact with him certainly wouldn’t know that his true character was a cannibal tiger.
“My mother likes me to wear white, but I can change for you…” Mo Ye looked at Qi Huan with a smile, teasing.
Qi Huan tilted her head and curled her lips.
“I like red clothes with green hats. Would you like to try it?” Red and green! The two most contrasting colours!
…Mo Ye was in a cold sweat, let’s pretend he hadn’t said anything just now.
“You said you came to find someone, are there people in the infinite hell?” After being put down by Mo Ye, Qi Huan stood still, letting him arrange her clothes.
“Yes, I heard that there is, but I haven’t found it yet.” Mo Ye answered while tucking Qi Huan’s clothes properly, then he smoothed her short black hair.
“Who are you looking for?”
“Little Fox’s father.”
“… Another nine-tailed celestial fox?”
“I heard he’s not a fox.” Mo Ye’s answer made Qi Huan horrified. Miss Nine gave birth to the Little Fox with a mysterious species. Oh my god, this was so shocking.
It was hard for Qi Huan, who had time travelled from modern times, to imagine that two different creatures could give birth to a child. Wouldn’t there be any abnormalities? Qi Huan couldn’t help thinking of Little Yin and Little Fox, if, only if, they had a baby… a fox with a snake tail…
She shuddered at the thought. She had better not think too much.
“Why are you looking for his father?” Mo Ye would definitely not look for someone for nothing. What was so special with Little Fox’s father that Mo Ye had to personally come to the infinite hell to look for him? It made more sense if he came here to look for herself.
“Hmm, actually this matter is sort of related to you. Anyway, you are here, so let’s go find him together.” Mo Ye didn’t answer Qi Huan’s questions, instead he changed the subject with a smile.
“Okay.” Knowing that since he didn’t answer her meant that he was not willing to tell her. Anyway she wasn’t too curious, and Mo Ye wouldn’t do anything to harm her, so she also didn’t press further.
With Mo Ye by her side, the infinite hell that was originally cold and lonely, making her heart feel the chills, didn’t seem so terrible anymore. Even if they didn’t speak during their journey, holding hands was enough to make her feel warm.
Those ancient fierce beasts who were exiled in this place sensed the aura emanating from Mo Ye’s body along their journey, and they all hid far away from him, so their journey was peaceful.
“Why don’t we use teleport? Walking is very slow.” After walking for a while, Qi Huan started complaining. Since she learned how to use the Thunder Escape technique, she had basically stopped walking if she could, especially now that her control over her thunder spells had substantially increased. She basically used her Thunder Escape to go anywhere now. Sometimes at night, it would look as if a figure was flashing here and there, how terrifying!
“The space here is a bit small, it is easy to get lost with your Thunder Escape technique.” The horror of the infinite hell was not that it had no exit, but that you would return to the origin no matter how you walk, because there was some kind of space problem here.
Because of Mo Ye’s special identity, the space here did not have an impact on him, but Qi Huan was different. If they were separated, it was very likely that she would be lost.
“My feet hurt.” After walking for more than two hours, Qi Huan shamelessly refused to walk anymore. Everything looked the same, the land was the same blood-red colour, and the sky was an endless gray.
Looking at the looming black shadow in the distance, Mo Ye turned to Qi Huan, and said, “Haha, just say it if you want me to carry you.” Then, he bent down and carried her, and continued to move forward.
With one arm wrapped around his shoulders, she rested her head on his shoulder. Her other hand poked his chest, “Shh, it is an honour that I chose you to carry me!”
“Sure thing.” Mo Ye smiled helplessly.
His steps were not fast, but it felt as if he had walked a long distance. Qi Huan felt very happy to be carried, she didn’t feel that it would be a big burden for Mo Ye to travel with her weight on his shoulders. So many people wanted to carry her, okay! This was an honour! Hmph, if it was someone else, she wouldn’t let the person touch her at all. Qi Huan was comforting herself, while worrying about whether Mo Ye would be tired carrying her…
She rubbed her head against his shoulder, adjusted a comfortable posture, and then fell asleep. Seeing her sleeping face, Mo Ye smiled gently unconsciously.
Looking up at the towering black tower that they were getting closer and closer to, Mo Ye quickened his pace. But that black tower seemed to be moving, no matter how fast Mo Ye was, there seemed to always be a constant distance between them.
It was an illusion. Mo Ye frowned and stopped.
The black tower suddenly emitted a red mist, the mist gradually condensed into three large words, “WHO ARE YOU???” displaying in the air.
“I am the person looking for you.” Mo Ye replied, exuding white mist from his body. The two mists entangled each other in mid-air. The red mist originally wanted to get close to Mo Ye, but was quickly stopped by the white mist from his body, a small part of the red mist was even assimilated by the white mist.
“A deity?” Seeing Mo Ye’s ability, the red mist from the tower no longer rushed forward, instead, it behaved like an obedient child.
“Immortal Ghost” After these two words were written in the air with the white mist, the red mist rolled violently like boiling water, even the tower began to shake.
After a long time, a voice of vicissitudes finally came out from the tower, “You are an immortal ghost?” The voice was low and hoarse, it seemed to have gone through the vicissitudes of life. His voice made people feel a sense of burning flame in their hearts.
Qi Huan was awakened by the sound, surprised, she glanced around for the source of the sound. Seeing Qi Huan awake, Mo Ye put her on the ground, then took her into his arms, rested her head against his chest, and covered her ear with one hand.
Qi Huan looked up at Mo Ye, and then at the black tower that appeared in front of him. Of course, she did not miss the two different colour mists above her.
“I am.” Mo Ye’s voice was not loud, not sure if it could reach that person’s ears.
After a long while, the originally erratic black tower finally stopped, standing like a god on the blood-red ground, “Come in.” Having said that, the red mist gradually disappeared.
This time when Mo Ye embraced Qi Huan and walked towards the black tower, the black tower did not leave, it stood still on the spot. When they approached the black tower, Qi Huan realized that countless spells were carved on the tower, and each of those complicated spells was a thousand signs. She heard Lei Gong say that the more the spells a tower had, the more terrifying the power it possessed. This tower had about ten floors, and it was covered with dense curses. The tower was also wrapped with chains of unknown material. There was only a small door at the lowest floor. It didn’t have a big entrance, so from the outside, it looked pitch black.
“This tower…”
“Conferred God Tower.” The only artifact in the deity world was the Conferred God Tower, but this tower had disappeared for millions of years, only a few people in the immortal world knew its whereabouts.
“Could the person inside be Little Fox’s father?” Qi Huan asked softly while poking Mo Ye.
“Yes, why?”
“Do you think he will agree if I ask him to turn into his original form?” Qi Huan hadn’t forgotten that she wanted to see what kind of creature Little Fox’s father was.
“…”Mo Ye was speechless. Qi Huan’s head was really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. She was actually thinking about this at times like this!
