“But you look at you! You’re a little demon suffused in yin-energy. Your entire body is practically giving off a cold aura. How can you call that elegant? I can feel the cold from a mile away.”

“I told you that this is an Ice-Jade Physique, didn’t I? Moreover, I was born on earth so I’ve always been weak. That’s why my body is a bit colder than yours. In truth, we both have the same bloodline of the Yang-Realm.”

The girl replied in disdain, “Tsk, who’re you trying to fool? You’re shameless. Can you please stop it with the boasting? You bring shame to the words Ice-Jade Physique.”

At this point, she had grown bolder and was no longer afraid of ghosts.

Chu Feng refuted, “What is there to be ashamed of? I’m the descendant of a true immortal with an innate dao body as pure as ice—am I really as unbearable as you say?

“If anything, you should be the one feeling ashamed, preaching humbleness while boasting instead.”

The girl retorted in contempt, “Pure as ice you say? Why not just say you’ve unchained yourself from the mortal world and on the verge of leaving with the wind?

“Never mind. You shouldn’t give me that weird look, you’re a treacherous little demon, and I can tell you’re up to something!”

“Moreover, I’m truly a kingdom-toppling beauty, but I won’t let you see because you look treacherous. I just know you’re not a good person.”

Chu Feng sighed. “How sad! My father came from the Yang-Realm but accidentally fell into the netherworld and never found a way to go back. From then on, he had no other choice but to live here. Although I have half netherworld blood in my veins, I’m still half a yang-world person.”

“Is that the truth?!” said the girl as she turned back to him with renewed interest. Her eyes were now bright and wide open, gazing at his body, assessing his Yin and Yang levels.

She suddenly became a little nosy lady as she said in excitement, “You’re not afraid of yang energy like other ghosts. Moreover, you can actually absorb some of it. It’s weird indeed, seems like you do have some yang blood in you. It’s truly astonishing. Don’t tell me this is a legendary case of ghost-human romance leaving behind a descendant?”

Chu Feng’s expression turned dark. He really wanted to kick her ass.

“Thank you for noticing it, do I get to be treated nicely now?”

“Wait right there, I need to check something.”

She left the cold room and Chu Feng locked in it. He was her prisoner.

She then rushed to the main cabin in search of something. She seemed very excited and in high spirits as she said, “Found them, the Secrets and Legends of the Underworld. So it is true, the records are real. I thought it was all just a legend!”

“Oh, descendants of ghosts and yang creatures indeed have the same characteristics as that little devil. It all fits in, so is he really half-yang-born?

“And yet, according to the records, people and ghosts—like between living creatures and cold, dead bodies—are generally unable to procreate. The chances of conceiving are one in a hundred million.”

The girl walked back into the chamber, dressed in full battle attire while holding a bunch of instruments. She then started running tests on Chu Feng, looking both serious and excited at the same time.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng had an idea. “I could just slap her in the back of her head and stun her. That’ll show her how to behave.”

However, when he saw the mysterious symbols through the spacesuit and on the girl’s body, he dismissed that thought. He was shocked and suspected that her close-fitting clothing were the work of a saint!

He then focused back on his plan; she usually would be too scared of approaching him, but she was now very confident; otherwise, she would not dare to walk into the chamber.

Chu Feng discovered that a large blood sample had been taken and being subjected to various analysis and tests. After a while, the girl cheered and said, “After some running some tests, I suspect that you have a partial yang bloodline and have come to a tentative conclusion that you are the result of a cross-over between two races, a miracle across the ages.”

Chu Feng had had enough and decided to take a shot. But an alarm went off in the cold room immediately after he had mobilized. Hundreds if not thousands of runes appeared and confined him. Afterward, he was blasted away by a burst of yang energy.

He would’ve been reduced to burnt charcoal and ashes had he not activated the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique in due haste.

Even so, there was smoke rising up from all over Chu Feng’s body, and the pain was unbearable. He managed to heave a deep sigh only after he had resisted the intense yang energy. It was simply too close.

It then dawned on him that the so-called world of the living could dominate this cosmos. That yang energy was simply too horrifying.

Without the proper breathing method from that world, there was no way to resist such energy!

Chu Feng realized that the Robbery Induction Breathing Technique originated from the Yang-Realm, and his blood might have tested positive for yang energy because he had been practicing it for a long time. It seemed as though he possessed half-living genes.

“Oh... that was terrible! Mommy, I want to go home! this little demon is a savage and wants to eat me. The underworld is a terrible place!

Chu Feng was speechless. He was holding his pain in and grimacing while the girl ran away screaming and crying.

Goddammit, Chu Feng really wanted to smack someone. At the same time, he was also somewhat suspicious—was this girl two-faced or was she just plain naive? He was puzzled!

In any case, he was still a prisoner, and he had suffered greatly just now!

The girl said, “Little ghost, you are okay? You’re actually not afraid of yang energy. Now, I believe that you’re the descendant of an entity from the world of the living.

Chu Feng’s expression turned dark. “Do you have any sense of sympathy at all?

“We’re both from the world of the living, yet you attacked me so violently. You’re really not sincere.”

The girl replied, “It wasn’t me who burned you just now. This spaceship was built by my grandfather. Everything looks like they’re machinery but actually, there are terrifying runes integrated into them. It’s more or less an innate secret treasure. A full-scale eruption would’ve been enough to wipe out even a saint.”

Chu Feng realized that her grandfather was someone important and that this girl’s family weren’t nobodies in the world of the living.

The girl decided to ask for help, “So, little demon, what’s your name? Do you think you can help me get back to the Yang-Realm? If you can, I’ll reward you for your help!”

“I am not a demon, my name is Wu Lunhui.”

Chu Feng wasn’t fond of being called a demon or ghost because he had always believed himself to be a living human.

“Wu Lunhui, do you believe in reincarnation?”

“My grandfather didn’t believe in it, but he keeps researching it without rest. It’s simply too contradictory and absurd.”

Chu Feng was overwhelmed by those words and became fairly distressed. How come that old man was so powerful? Which ordinary person would dare study reincarnation?

He then thought of the purgatory, the city of the dead, and the end of the path of reincarnation. He recalled those creatures with mysterious talismans heading over to be reincarnated. Was all of it related to the Yang-Realm?

“To tell you the truth, you can’t go back. There’s no exit from the Netherworld. You might as well think about how to live in this world. I think you should get used to the idea of being a spirit.”

Chu Feng scared her in a serious tone.

The girl screamed all of a sudden, “No way, I’m still young! I’ve never been in love and I haven’t married. I have not yet reached the highest level and stood to look down on the world below. I still have... many regrets. I don’t want to be a ghost in here.”

So this girl from the Yang-Realm wasn’t acting and neither was she evil. She was just naive.

Chu Feng grew doubtful and more questions came to his mind.

The girl tossed and turned for a long time, and then she shouted for her mother with tears in her eyes. After that, began talking to Chu Feng again in a dispirited manner.

“Will I really be trapped here for a lifetime? I don’t believe there isn’t a way out. Moreover, isn’t there any other person from the Yang-Realm here? All I want is to marry someone alive! I’ll be scared to death if I had to date a cold corpse!”

“Also...”

“And...”

She was reduced to a nervous mess as she muttered continuously, looking to Chu Feng as the only person who could listen to her words. Even after a long while, it didn’t seem like she was parched—her “desire to chat” was still just as strong.

After a while, Chu Feng couldn’t stand it anymore. He interrupted her by saying, “First of all, you have to find a way to survive in the underworld. Secondly, if you are looking for someone alive, am I not just it? There is yang-blood in me. You won’t find any other person that fits your criteria.”

“You... you’re a pervert among ghosts! You’re actually eyeing me? I definitely won’t agree to a human-ghost romance.”

The girl was furious, but she later said with a frown, “But thinking rationally, you’re indeed an alternative choice. But that kind of life sounds really bad.”

“Let me reassure you, as long as you don’t give me any bad ideas, I am absolutely not interested in you,” said Chu Feng.

“What?! What did you just say? Say it once more if you dare!”

The young girl, Xi, flipped out. Apparently, these words came as quite a blow to her. She was just a bit irritated before, but now, she was mad and began doubting her own charms.

Chu Feng said, “Let’s talk about this later. As we are both descendants of the Yang-Realm, I need to tell you how to survive in this netherworld.”

This once again caught the girl’s attention. “How?”

“First of all, you need to pretend to be from around here. You need to collect some merits, such as getting rid of public enemies or hunting some notorious saints. That will make people have a good impression of you and even admire you in some fields.”

Chu Feng appeared sincere as he gave her instructions.

“Please tell me the details.” The girl blinked repeatedly and seemed to be listening carefully.

Chu Feng patted his chest and said, “Rest assured, as long as I am around, I’ll treat you like a relative from my hometown and help you however I can. I will help you form a plan later on. We’ll do something meaningful and kill some scum on the way. Of course, we can’t be arrogant just because we’re strong. We must keep a low profile.”

“I’m a bit interested, when do we start?”

“We start now, let’s talk while we walk.”

“Okay, let’s go!” The girl was excited and seemed to be looking forward to trying looking like a human.

Chu Feng stretched his muscles, and his heart was full of excitement.
