Marrying a Former Supreme God
The Twenty-Floor Pagoda
At the inn, Yan Yujie was already human. He no longer bothered about the spirit shrimp stabbing his leg. Now all the red spots have been lost due to the healing pill given by Xiu Jimei.
Three days later, Ming Zise came to pick up Xiu Jimei and his group. They gathered in the courtyard of the twenty-story pagoda located in the center of the capital.
The always-clean-looking pagoda looks towering. The aura of each floor varies slightly. The Xiu twins could feel it. But no longer curious.
However it was different with Wang Xuyue, Kin Wenqian, Xuan Xing, Jia Lishan and also Yan Yujie. Although they had once entered several floors of the twenty-story pagoda, but were still quite curious about its contents.
"Of the twenty floors, you can only be on the fifth floor, at least" Ming Zise explained the purpose of the spiritual aptitude test this time around. "On the fifth floor, there were several medicines as well as poisons of various forms and types. You must gather some of the most potent drugs and poisons. Remember not to be too flashy."
The last sentence was said to Xiu Jimei who was clearly an alchemist expert. In other words, let others take the opportunity. After all this exam was only for training for cultivators. Winning or losing was no problem for Ming Zise.
They nodded in understanding.
On the other hand, they also saw the group of cultivators of the Ghost Sect. Especially the existence of Mei Rong, Fan Li and Mi Sai. The three ghost cultivators looked even more mysterious than the others.
The three looked towards Xiu Jimei's group. It had been staring at each other for quite some time, but the expressions of Mei Rong, Fan Li and Mi Sai seemed ordinary.
Yan Yujie was annoyed and wanted to beat them up. If not for this being a public place, he was very curious as to what reason made them want to kill him.
"Be careful when you are inside the pagoda," Ming Zise said again as she unintentionally looked at the group of Ghost Sect cultivators.
When the exam began, each group entered the twenty-story pagoda with a hint of tension. They enter according to the time specified by the assessment committee.
But not knowing what happened, some of the examinees actually ran out while screaming in fear.
"Ohh!!! A ghost! There's ghosts!"
"..." - ".The other group felt more uncomfortable.
Is there a ghost inside?
Wasn't this just a twenty-story pagoda whose every floor had a different trial stage?
How can there be ghosts?
"Teacher, are there ghosts?" asked Kin Wenqian to Ming Zise.
The man only smiled, did not shake his head or nod.
"..." - ".Xiu Jimei's group was getting curious.
When their group got a turn, Xiu Jimei was at the very front. As the team leader, he has a way of duty to make sure if his members are okay.
Upon entering the twenty-story pagoda, the two-leafed door was closed just like that. Darkness is all around.
The cold suddenly came out of nowhere, making their hair goosebumps. Suddenly the sound of giggling and the lament of sadness was heard.
"Hu hu hu hu hu ...." The voice of a crying woman was not as clear as being behind them.
"Is that a ghost? Really ghost?" Yan Yujie swallowed his saliva and tightened himself towards Xiu Jimei.
"You have Yin and Yang eyes that are able to see ghosts and frighten them? How are you afraid of them?" wang Xuyue's.
But Xiu Jikai who was beside her immediately dragged that Yan Yujie away from her sister.
"There are no ghosts!" He commented with the corner of his mouth twitching.
Xiu Jimei just scratched his head in confusion. "What should we do now? Ghost hunting on the first floor?" guess it.
Others are confused too.
"Let's split up, maybe there's something we'll find as a clue" Jia Lishan suggested.
"All right."
They also split up. The first floor is quite large. Not too dark because on the wall already installed lanterns that light up. Although the lighting was rather minimal, they could still see each other.
Xuan Xing went to the pile of boxes in the corner. There was a lot of stuff there, all kinds that he had never seen. But he was not curious at all.
When he moved one of the boxes and accidentally opened the lid, he was shocked. Xuan Xing was a little pale. He immediately condensed an ice hammer then struck something that poked out from inside the box.
After which, he closed the box and threw it to the other side.
"Xing Xing, what happened?" asked Yan Yujie who was now around the bookshelf.
"It's nothing, it's just insects that suck." Xuan Xing looked for an excuse so that the others would not panic.
What Xuan Xing had just seen was a woman's head with a somewhat hideous face, bleeding and grinning. So he immediately hit her in surprise. Whether it was real or not, he felt a bit of a cold sweat.
Why is this level one pagoda floor so strange? Female ghost head?
Inside the box, the head that Xuan Xing had just hit nearly grimaced in pain. What's more when the box is thrown, he actually added dizziness.
Finally, the monstrous figure of the woman's head disappeared from within the box and returned to the place where the test examiners had gathered.
Inside a secret room, a woman who had suddenly appeared with that hideous makeup could not help but grimace.
Her other friends were shocked when they saw the woman's face was slightly red and her nose was almost flat.
"What's wrong with you?" ask one of them in surprise.
"One of the examinees hit me with an ice hammer" the woman replied. He immediately complained, "I think I can scare him with the effect of a bloody face and monster-like sharp teeth. But who knows, the white-haired girl not only did not shout in fear but instead condensed an ice hammer and hit me in the face to such a swelling!"
One of his colleagues who was also a first-floor examination examiner of the twenty-story pagoda finally laughed. He felt this scene was very funny, looking at the face of the woman who now looked ugly.
The woman got angry and hit the head of the person who had just laughed at her.
"Humph! You will feel it later too! They are not an ordinary group!"
His colleague who had just been hit in the head was grimacing. "What group?"
"That's Xiu's group of princesses!"
"..."
Upon hearing the word 'daughter Xiu' they fell silent. Oh, isn't this an abnormal girl who has passed through the emptiness realm stage at such a young age? The daughter of the former Demon Emperor—Xiu Jichen?
In the end, his partner who had just been snapped patted the woman's shoulder gently. "Don't worry, the sky emperor is paying us to do this task. Same with the result."
"..." - ".My ass! Shouted the woman in my heart.
