Chapter 798

Lilly felt that she needed to read more books.

She leaned over to the Weakling Spirit and earnestly read along with him.

“What is a Spirit Cat? Does it belong to the mortal realm or the underworld?”

The Weakling Spirit pointed to the page and replied, “They don’t belong to either the mortal realm or the underworld. They are messengers that wander between the two.”

“It is rumored that during the opening of the Gate of Hell on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, some ghost spirits refuse to return to the underworld, and many escape… And when the world is in turmoil, with wars raging, many wandering souls evade capture by the soul reapers…”

“During such times, the soul reapers are clearly insufficient. In order to maintain stability in the mortal realm, the Ruler of Hell has appointed a group of black cats to assist the soul reapers in capturing the wandering spirits in the human world.”

So, the black cats were originally cats of the mortal realm, but after receiving the Ruler of Hell’s guidance, they became a part of soul reapers and were known as Hell Messenger.

Cats have always had a legendary aura since ancient times, especially black cats. There are many legends about black cats walking over corpses and deceiving the dead.

“In the long process of reproduction, the Spirit Cat clan has grown and diversified. They are not just black cats; there are various breeds… However, black cats are still the kings among the abyss cats and they rule over the entire Gray Earth.”

As the Weakling Spirit spoke, he pointed to another line of text.

“The Gray Earth is the place we just passed through. It lies between the underworld and the mortal realm, a gray zone beyond the rules.”

“Spirit cats that have achieved meritorious deeds and successful cultivation can even transform into human form, transcending the realm of animals.”

Therefore, the Spirit Cats are not willing to be mediocre; they will strive to maintain stability in the human world.

The Ruler of Hell has stationed Spirit Cats in this gray zone as guardians, also to plug any loopholes in the rules. Thus, Spirit Cats are also the guardians of the Gray Earth.

Very few ghost spirits or living beings can pass through this region to reach the mortal realm or the underworld.

Lilly exclaimed, “Wow, I’m amazing!”

She could think of all this.

And she even keeps a group of cats!

Ivan thought that she meant she could leave from under the watchful eyes of the guardians in the Gray Earth, thinking she felt proud of herself.

He pondered for a moment and said, “When we go back, let’s find another way out.”

After all, Spirit Cats are the guardians of the rules. How could they allow humans to freely pass through their territory?

But Lilly was very happy. “No, let’s go back by passing through their territory.”

And she wanted to do it regularly.

This path would be hers from now on!

Ivan: “?”

The Weakling Spirit stood up and said, “Let’s go! It seems we haven’t alerted the King of Cities. We need to return quickly.”

Lilly shook her head. “If we didn’t alarm the big baddie, why should we hurry back?”

She was too weak.

Every time she was chased by the King of Cities.

She wanted to become stronger and challenge the King of Cities next time!

“I want to train!” Lilly clenched her little fist, determination shining on her face. “I want to become the strongest!”

Lilly looked fierce, but with her chubby baby face, she seemed to glow, her eyes shining brightly.

The Harem Spirit was smitten, nodding repeatedly. “Yes, yes, we want to be the most powerful!”

Lilly exclaimed, “Let’s go!”

Wait, how should they train?

Lilly’s mothers’ novel shelf was filled with many cultivation novels.

After going back, she would have to study hard again!

“Ivan, how did you come here?” Lilly asked curiously. “Do you know where this place is?”

Ivan paused for a moment. He knew, and answered, “This is the underworld.”

Lilly stopped in her tracks, puzzled. “Then how did you come here?”

She didn’t know what she had thought of, but suddenly, she looked nervous. She quickly reached out and pinched Ivan’s face, tugged on his ear.

“Ivan… You, you didn’t die, did you?!”

Lilly was alarmed and anxious. Pinching Ivan’s face wasn’t enough; she grabbed his hand, patted here and there.

Then she pressed Ivan’s hand against her own face, luckily it was still warm, not cold!

Ivan pursed his lips, standing still, letting Lilly squeeze his face like a bun and knock on his body.

Then he heard her let out a sigh of relief, “Thank goodness! Still warm! Ivan, you should go back quickly!”

The Weakling Spirit sneered and said, ” Lilly, he’s not a ghost, he’s a living person.”

Lilly nodded, “I know, but the underworld doesn’t allow living people to come down here. It’s better to go back soon!”

“What if you stay longer and your body get colder!”

Ivan: “…”

He wouldn’t get cold!

“I came here on my own.” Ivan said quietly, “I also want to become stronger.”

This puzzled Lilly, even the clever Weakling Spirit and Harem Spirit couldn’t understand.

The Unlucky Ghost looked up and down at Ivan, utterly bewildered. “If you want to become stronger, why don’t you train in your father’s military camp? Why did you come here?”

The Ghost Bride also coaxed, “That’s right, little friend, this isn’t a place for training! Let me take you back?”

Ivan was just too handsome, and the Ghost Bride couldn’t help but feel protective.

Ivan shook his head, “I wanted to come here.”

After a pause, he continued, “I’m just like Lilly.”

This statement shocked everyone, and they all stared wide-eyed.
