Right Here Waiting

Chapter 28

The ancient seal was activated, and vengeful spirits roamed the banks of the River of Forgetfulness. Dark clouds rolled in the dark sky, and a strong wind blew. When we took a few steps away from the military tent, we bumped into a ball of dark green soul energy. A bone-chilling cold rushed into our faces and into our hearts. The spiritual energy in our bodies froze, and we couldn't move at all!

"Be careful, Supreme Deity!"

The demon soldier who was caught for questioning quickly stabbed his sword and sent the vengeful spirit flying. But before I could thank him, a stream of hot magma suddenly spewed out from the ground, melting him and the sword in his hand into a pile of twisted black slag!

I could even see the disbelief in his eyes, which reflected the dancing will-o '-the-wisps in the darkness.

The screams of countless creatures being annihilated mixed with the friction of the ground and burned my eardrums. The water of the River of Forgetfulness floated into the sky as if it wasn't affected by gravity. The wide riverbed, which was more than ten thousand miles long, was completely exposed. It was actually a bottomless abyss that lay between the Celestial and Demon Realms!

I looked up at the sky and saw the river water spread out for miles. Ghosts swam crazily in it, and the surface of the water, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, became uneven. Occasionally, a few ghosts broke through the seal and came out of the water. Their murderous aura was strong enough to easily kill a Supreme Deity!

All kinds of swords, spears, swords, and halberds fell from the sky to the ground. Some of them were still holding half of a broken arm. Fresh blood flowed, and ghost energy filled the air. The demon soldiers who dared to challenge the Celestial realm were slaughtered by the vengeful spirits that came out of the abyss. They were like fish on a chopping board, unable to fight back.

I stood at the edge of the abyss, and the darkness under my feet seemed to be dipped in poison. I would fall if I took a breath.

"Old thief … He's willing to go all out!"

These troublesome ghosts couldn't be gathered in a short period of time. In order to resist the ancient seal, the Underworld didn't hesitate to use a wicked method of sacrificing eight hundred of their own to kill a thousand of their enemies.

I gathered spiritual energy in my palm and grabbed a thick stream of water from the top of my head. After a few transformations, it condensed into a water dragon. This dragon that was formed from the water of the River of Forgetfulness was incomparably malevolent and ugly. When I stepped on it, my legs felt weak. However, this was the only method that could help me cross the abyss to find the Little White Dragon.

The noise in my ears gradually faded away, and a deathly silence surrounded me from all directions, wrapping me up like an airtight cocoon. I didn't dare to shout loudly for fear of attracting monsters. I could only grope around in the darkness bit by bit. Just when I had no clue and was burning with anxiety, the translucent Mermaid Tear on my wrist suddenly shone brightly. The blue light was like a blade cutting through the darkness, pointing to a hazy path.

The betrothal gift from the Little White Dragon was truly unparalleled!

The Water Dragon Swings Its Tail turned into a streak of light and scuttled into the small path. It was only after traveling for more than a thousand miles that the clouds parted and the sun could be seen. Hundreds of thousands of Celestial realm soldiers worked together to prop up a Spirit-restraining Formation to suppress the River of Forgetfulness. The Little White Dragon and Xufeng, along with dozens of war generals, each stepped on the eye of the formation. The two Qi of Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Demon were actually inseparable from each other and integrated into one. It was quite a grand momentum of the combination of Yin and Yang.

"Chiling!

Why are you here! "

The position where I stuck my head out just happened to be next to Fufeng. He was holding up the formation map with Wenqu Xinjun to compare. Suddenly, he saw the black fog surging beside him. He thought it was a vengeful spirit that didn't have eyes. Fortunately, he didn't slap it to death!

"The formation isn't …"

Time was of the essence, and I wanted to make it short. However, my body tightened, and the Water Dragon under my feet instantly dissipated. Just as I was about to fall into the abyss, I was suddenly wrapped up by a huge force. After the world spun around me, I fell into a warm embrace!

The thick scent of ambergris wafted around the tip of my nose, and I immediately lost all thoughts of resisting. The Little White Dragon's cold voice swept past my ears.

"Your husband hasn't seen you for half a day, and you ran off to the Demon Realm?"

My bones melted when he said "your husband," but hugging a piece of meat under the eyes of the Gods was a loss of prestige. Wenqu Xinjun's brows were almost knotted together. He lifted his robe and was about to fly over to persuade me, but Fufeng slapped him back.

"You … cough!

Let go of me first! "

I used my hand to push against his chest to stand up straight. "I saw this ancient map in the Demon Lord's military tent. Do you know about the Netherworld Sacrificial Soul Formation?

Qing Cang, that old thief, used millions of years to set it up. He wants to use the Dragon Spirit and Phoenix Spirit to break the formation! "

"Oh …" His starry eyes darkened. He carefully observed my eyebrows, collar, cuffs, and skirt for a few times. Suddenly, he said, "You actually entered his military tent?"

After saying that, he tilted his head and stared at Xufeng. He slowly raised his sharp eyebrows. "Is this how the Demon Lord treats his guests?"

Xufeng was stunned. Didn't the Nine Heavens send someone to distribute the medicine?

Of course, he had to enter the military tent to distribute medicine to the soldiers. Otherwise, if others saw him, they would think that he favored one and discriminated against the other and didn't care about the lives of others.

Seeing that I was about to be exposed, I hurriedly turned the Little White Dragon's head back. He wasn't someone who didn't understand the gravity of the situation. I had already said so much, yet he still didn't care. It seemed that he already had a plan. "You already knew?

What a waste of my trepidation to cross the River of Forgetfulness to help!

How did you understand ancient Sanskrit?! "

"When I was reading unofficial history, I accidentally flipped through a few books about ancient gods. I studied them when I was bored."

He smirked as though he enjoyed the shock on my face. After admiring it for a while, he suddenly held my wrist that was wearing the Mermaid's Tear. "If I hadn't used the Mermaid's Tear to lead the way for you, I'm afraid that you wouldn't have been able to find your way here even if the gate to the Underworld closed again. Madam, it's better to plan properly when you come to help in the future. Don't make me worry."

"You!"

The generals nearby turned around awkwardly. Xufeng coughed a few times and stayed far away. I couldn't retaliate at all. Just as I was thinking about how to turn things around, his expression suddenly changed. His fingertips that were holding my wrist suddenly tightened!

Not good!

I had shrunk back a bit, and was clearly seen through!

This time, it was his turn to be dumbfounded!

"You are …"

The calmness on his face disappeared inch by inch. Even his tightly clenched hand loosened a little. His gaze wandered around my lower abdomen and chest. He was careful and at a loss as though there was a porcelain person standing in front of him that would break with a slight movement. He wanted to touch me, but he didn't know how to pinch me. This look was so novel and interesting!

How could I turn things around with words?!
