, your husband will take us there in a while.”Dream"So you're saying Sun Bin's Five Kills was just a dream" I asked."How is that possible! I've actually defeated someone using Sun Bin's Five Kills bef...The sky was as dark as ink, and the night was like a veil of silk.

The light sound of the moon floated gently, and the night wind carried a faint fragrance.

The scent of incense.

Everyone I met along the way was cautious and respectful, standing stiffly on either side. This atmosphere made me feel nervous.

The first time I was in the Witch King's City, I discovered a problem.

The structure here is incredibly ingenious, even mind-boggling.

Many buildings were constructed within the mountainside and cliffs, balancing beauty with grandeur while incorporating many ingenious mechanisms.

Not only were ventilation and light shafts dug, but also unknown copper mirrors were embedded along the sides of the road.

The road here is wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side without feeling crowded. The residents of the palace didn't dare come to watch us, they just bowed respectfully at their own doorsteps and sent us off all the way.

But those copper mirrors...

This is not the first time I have seen shadowy, illusory images from within.

If most people were motionless, what would those flickering phantoms be

I couldn't help but clench Mu Wanchen's hand.

His hands were large, his fingers clean and long, able to enclose my whole hand.

"Mu..." I couldn't help but whisper, my voice barely audible. I had already seen several faces in the vast copper mirrors, and more and more shadowy figures were appearing within them.

Shadows danced.

"Shh..." Mu Wanchen lowered his eyes and whispered, "Don't be afraid, just hold on to me tight."

But I couldn't suppress this fear and curiosity. What were those bronze mirrors for And what were the ghostly figures inside

Could it be that the chills I'm feeling are coming from the reflection in the mirror

This eerie atmosphere persisted until I stood at the threshold of the altar. This altar, a place I had visited once before, was a massive "heaven's pit."

The moonlight was like a wash, and the lights were as bright as day.

The mountains, forests, trees, trails and streams here are as picturesque as a scroll painting. Under the moonlight, glazed palace lanterns hang on both sides of the marble road, with warm orange light extending all the way to the altar.

On both sides of the altar, more people gathered, mostly standing in formation. I saw people from the Si clan.

The petite Si Huang stood at the front, and there was also Si Duan, who had kidnapped me. Their positions were clearly higher than others.

Several white-haired elders stood on the altar, they were probably the shamans' elders. One of them had a beard that almost dragged to the ground, he looked very intimidating.

As I approached Si Zu, I cast a glance at her. Si Huang was wearing a gilded mask that covered half her face, and her beautiful eyes sparkled in the warm orange light.

She saw me looking at her and confidently met my gaze, a smirk playing on her lips. "Hello there, Little Princess," she said.

I didn't dare to speak out of turn, so I just nodded symbolically.

As she walked past me, I seemed to hear a faint chuckle.

Turning back, I saw Si Huang calmly watching me. There was no curve to her lips; she wasn't smiling.

Who is that

"Yin Luo" Mu Wanchen quietly squeezed my hand. The people of the Wuwang City on both sides of the road respectfully knelt down to pay their respects, they didn't notice that I was lost in thought.

"What's wrong Why are you palpitating" Mu Wanchen asked softly.

Since I've been with Mu Wanchen, I seem to have auditory hallucinations often... This place was already very mysterious, and it always makes me hear strange noises...

Am I being paranoid, or is there really something fishy going on At this rate, I'm going to go crazy.

I looked at Mu Wanchen in confusion. He couldn't have not heard, could he I heard it, he should have heard it too...

"Mu Wanchen, aren't you hiding something from me" I asked, frowning.

"No, let me explain to you clearly. First, focus on completing the ceremony properly." Mu Wanchen gave me a slight frown and a knowing glance.

He cast a sideways glance at the white-bearded old man on the altar, as if reminding me to pay attention to him.

"Who was that"

The person who gave you the blood gu, will later put a gu in your heavenly spirit.

What I jumped in fright and instinctively covered my head.

"You want to poison me again!" I immediately shook my head.

Mu Wanchen's eyelashes trembled, and she whispered, "... He can't come down. Rest assured, it's just a formality. The magic of the female Gu is much more powerful than his."

"Well, I believe you," I nodded at him.

I walked to the edge of the altar, the old man beckoned me over, Mu Wanchen nodded, and I took a step forward, standing there waiting.

"...Little princess, this is just a formality. I won't give you any blood poison." A familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.

Little Brother Liang had somehow gotten into the paper man again, hiding in the folds of my clothes.

“Why use a blood gu You guys sound so scary!” I muttered through gritted teeth, “Aren't blood gu’s harmful”

"Cough, this is to make you one of our people. But don't worry, the Shaman King has said that we can't give you any other kind of gu worms. The reason is that those chosen by the female gu shouldn't have any ordinary gu worms added to them, lest the female gu become angry." Liang Xiao explained.

"So, it's just for show then" I asked.

"Mhm, don't be afraid."

Well, I carried my cumbersome skirt up several flights of stairs.

The surrounding bi-zhong guqin played a light and ethereal symphony, and on the altar in the center, male and female shamans wearing masks chanted incantations I couldn't understand.

I just feel that it's getting colder and colder around me.

But the entire altar was brilliantly lit, the atmosphere solemn. Many people respectfully knelt before me in greeting, there was nothing unusual about it.

The old man with white beard raised his hand and gently pressed it on the top of my head, muttering, "Little princess, I've finally waited for you..."

"Huh" I couldn't help but look up.

" …Smoothly No, no, it won't be that smooth... The hardships we face have just begun..." The old man muttered nervously.

"Little Princess, you are young, but you bear a heavy responsibility. Our hopes rest on you. We hope that you can face the difficulties and obstacles ahead with strength..."

I immediately shook my head and said, "No, I have a very low tolerance for pressure. Please don't put such a heavy burden on me."

The old man was taken aback, probably not expecting me to say that.

Brother Liang anxiously reminded me from behind, “My ancestors! Little Princess, this is just a facade, a facade, do you understand!”

Of course I understand, but I don't want to take responsibility for this.

"Ahem, the young princess seems to be rather young, ahem... never mind, just assist the God King well in the future..."

What can I do for you

Before I could ask any further, a gigantic pillar of fire erupted from beneath the massive stone column at the altar behind me.

I thought it was a sacrificial procedure, but Mu Wanchen pulled me down from the altar and shielded me with his body.

"What's wrong, what's wrong Quick, come and have a look!" A commotion arose all around.

Within the flames, there was a strange color flickering, like a wavering black hole, gradually expanding its reach.

"...Don't wander off, it seems someone is causing trouble during the wedding." Mu Wanchen turned to me and said, "Stay here, I'll go check the situation out."

I was at a loss, the surrounding soldiers and tribesmen nervously and anxiously looking toward the altar. Suddenly someone grabbed me -

"...Little girl, we meet again..."erpillar, limp and floppy.I couldn't help but twitch at the corner of my mouth, struggling to speak: "That...puff...cough...you, you could go to a men's hospital...""Get out!" he suddenly roared at me...
