Chapter 381: Lord Netherworld

At the same time, in the Lu Mansion.

“Ah Sheng, are you unwell?”

Looking at the pale ‘Lu Sheng,’ Lu Ran asked worriedly.

“Yes!” He Lai frowned. “Weren’t you fine yesterday? Why are you so pale today?”

She looked like a dead person.

“I’m fine.”

‘Lu Sheng’ said lightly and continued walking.

According to Lu Sheng’s past memories, she was going to the Lu Family’s restaurant as usual today.

“Xiao Sheng, if you’re not feeling well, stay in the mansion and rest. It’s alright since we’ll be in the restaurant.”

He Qin was also a little worried.

He Zhang, who had been silent, spoke up at the right time. “Your uncle is right. If you’re uncomfortable, stay behind. Don’t force yourself.”

“I’m fine.”

‘Lu Sheng’ shook her head and forced a smile at them with a stiff expression.

The few of them stared at her back and could not help but look at each other.

They kept feeling that there was something wrong with Lu Sheng today.

She was like... a different person.

However, her face was still the same. There should be no mistake.

Could something have happened last night?

“Lu Sheng, did you not sleep well last night?”

He Lai asked again worriedly.

“Maybe.”

‘Lu Sheng’ nodded. “I’ll be fine tomorrow.”

It was her first time being a human today, and she was still not used to it.

Gradually, she would become more similar to Lu Sheng.

Hearing her words, everyone felt more at ease.

—————

In the Demon Realm.

After Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan followed Official Lu into the void, they reached the border of the Demon Realm.

A long stone pillar stood at the side. The vermillion words ‘Demon Realm’ were carved on it.

There was a stone path in the middle, and there were bottomless cliffs on both sides.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Who barged into the Demon Realm?”

A loud reprimand was heard and the three of them stopped in their tracks.

A monster with a human head and a snake body appeared in front of them with a group of demons.

“Lord Xie Ran, there’s a human!”

When the demons saw Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan, their eyes lit up and they started to salivate.

Official Lu blocked in front of Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan and roared, “Get lost!”

The snake demon called Xie Ran retreated a few steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The demons behind him with lower cultivation levels were sent flying and landed on the ground. They immediately wailed.

Chu Sihan had already covered Lu Sheng’s ears before Official Lu roared.

After the angry roar dissipated, he released his grip slightly.

“Who... Who are you?”

Xie Ran held his chest and looked at Official Lu fearfully.

Official Lu ignored him. Instead, he gestured for Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan to follow him and walk past him.

Xie Ran frowned slightly. His body swayed and he appeared in front of the three of them again.

“This is the Demon Realm. Everyone who wants to enter has to obtain the Demon King’s permission!”

He did not know who these three people were, but they could ignore the boundary of the Immortal World and enter. They must not be ordinary people.

Official Lu restrained his temper and said coldly, “I am an official of the Netherworld. You can inform him.”

If it weren’t for the expressions of those smaller demons that looked like they wanted to eat someone, he wouldn’t have gotten angry.

“So it’s Official Lu!”

After being shocked, Xie Ran hurriedly bowed and said, “I’ll report this to the Demon King now!”

As he spoke, he took out something similar to the Eight Trigrams and brushed his hand lightly. Suddenly, a stern and cold voice came from the other side. “What’s the matter?”

Xie Ran hurriedly replied respectfully, “Lord Netherworld, Official Lu from the Netherworld wants to see you.”

The person was silent for a moment before speaking again. “Bring him in.”

“Yes!”

Xie Ran kept the item and bowed to the three of them. “Please follow me!”

Official Lu nodded slightly, hinting for him to walk first.

Xie Ran understood and smiled faintly before leading the way.

Chu Sihan held Lu Sheng’s hand and followed Official Lu calmly.

Lu Sheng glanced at the side of the stone path and immediately felt dizzy.

If she accidentally fell down, she might not even have a corpse left.

“Don’t look down.”

Chu Sihan reminded her softly.

Lu Sheng nodded and looked ahead.

Xie Ran brought the three of them into a mansion. It was too quiet inside.

After a while, two women, who were half-human and half-snake like Xie Ran, swam out. They each carried an empty tray.

“Lord Xie Ran!”

When they saw Xie Ran, they lowered their eyes and bowed.

“Where’s Lord Netherworld?”

The two female snake demons said in unison, “Lord Netherworld is already waiting inside.”

Xie Ran nodded slightly and gestured for them to leave before continuing to lead the three of them in.

“Ling Xiang, those two seem to be humans!”

Lu Sheng and the rest had just entered the corridor when one of the female snake demons spoke with a surprised expression.

“I can smell humans too!”

Ling Xiang nodded slightly. “However, the person walking beside Lord Xie Ran doesn’t seem to be human.”

The female snake demon said infatuatedly, “However, that human man is really handsome!”

Ling Xiang glanced at Chu Sihan’s back and nodded in agreement.

On this side, Xie Ran led the three of them into a courtyard. They saw a man standing in a small pavilion in the courtyard.

“Lord Netherworld, I’ve brought him here!” Xie Ran lowered his head and bowed.

The man turned around slowly and a stern and handsome face appeared in front of everyone.

He first bowed slightly to Official Lu. When he raised his eyes and saw Chu Sihan behind Official Lu, his pupils immediately constricted.

“Why is His Highness here too?”

“His Highness?”

Xie Ran turned back suspiciously, his gaze lingering on Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan. He was not sure which one it was.

Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “Tianxi, long time no see.”

A smile actually appeared on Netherworld’s cold and handsome face. “Why did Your Highness become a human?”

“It’s a long story.”

After Chu Sihan held Lu Sheng’s hand and sat down, he smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t expect the Lord Netherworld of the Demon Realm to be you!”

After Official Lu recovered from his shock, he asked in surprise, “Your Highness knows Lord Netherworld?”

Netherworld said, “Five hundred years ago, I was assassinated. His Highness happened to save me when he passed by.”

He had even recuperated in the Netherworld for a period of time.

Official Lu nodded. “I see!”

Lu Sheng could not interrupt and could only sit at the side and listen to them catch up.

Xie Ran poured tea for the four of them before retreating to stand behind Netherworld.

Netherworld looked at Lu Sheng and smiled faintly. “If I’m not wrong, this lady should be Peak Master Lu’s daughter, right?”

Lu Sheng was surprised. “You’ve heard of me?”

She automatically ignored the word ‘daughter.’

Because before this, many people had indeed said that she was Lu Zhou’s biological daughter.

Netherworld said, “I happened to hear His Highness mention it.”

Speaking of Lu Zhou, Official Lu hurriedly asked about the Demon Realm. “Where are the Demon King and Ah Zhou now?”
