Did I transmigrate?

My whole body felt a strange tingling and numbness. I said it was amazing because I clearly remembered that I had just been hit by the "electric current" from the willow branch. My body flew backwards and I crashed into a tree trunk. With such a strong impact, I'm actually numb right now. This is amazing.

I still remember Zi Ye glancing at me before I fainted. He passed Qiao Ji's enchantment to Tao Tou and then wanted to fly over to save me …

However, I wasn't at the place where Ziye's cold temperature was, where his piercing red eyes were, and where his deep voice was. It seemed like he wasn't in time to save me!

Then where am I now?

Why did it change after a collision?

I stared up at the sky above me — the pale gray sky that was unique to the underworld, the blood-red sun that was unique to the underworld in the middle, and the occasional bird that flew by.

That means I'm still in the Underworld!

But the Underworld is also very big, I still don't know where I am!

I sat there crying. His heart was filled with "resentment" towards Zi Ye! Why did he have to retract the jade pendant that could summon him just now?! I may not be able to use it when I'm in danger, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to use it when I'm lost! Just like now, when I got lost for no reason and asked for that jade pendant to guide the way, it was even taken away by him.

I really want to yell at the sky!

As a result, just as he lifted his head and the roar was still in his throat, he saw a terrifying scene that caused his blood to boil. A shadow passed by above my head. The shadow was as large as a thick cloud. It carried the wind and rain with it as it rapidly moved across the sky. Moreover, there was a group of armored men standing on the shadow.

He was like a heavenly soldier in a novel, standing proudly on the auspicious cloud.

However, what was flying above me was not the auspicious clouds, but the dark clouds of the underworld.

My sight followed the black cloud and arrived at the end of the black cloud. Suddenly, my vision tightened as I saw a person!

Isn't that a Taotie? It was just that he was a little younger than what I had seen him in the past, or perhaps a little more immature. The biting cold battle qi in his body had been replaced by a domineering air.

He was too far away for me to see his eyes, but just by standing there he gave the impression that he was not a battle-hardened general, that he might even be on the battlefield for the first time.

No, the Taotie I know or the Taotie I've seen is a god of war with a golden iron horse hidden in his eyes. How did he become like this just because I fainted?

I panicked.

He quickly looked around and became even more flustered. This place isn't a useless prison, I remember that when I fell from the 157th step, all I saw was a desert, filled with sand, not a ruined city like this!

It seems I'm not lost

I raised my head to look at the direction where the black cloud was heading towards. My heart was in turmoil. Could it be that I had somehow teleported through this place?

After thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's right. I just bumped into that willow tree and passed out. How could there be such a coincidence?

I forced myself to calm down and tried to remember the details of my coma.

I saw Ziye rushing towards me, I saw Ziye handing the enchantment over to Tao Tao, I also saw Qiji, he was already awake, he was still looking at me, his face expressionless, but his gaze seemed to be hiding something!

What does he want to say to me?

Willow trees, two cobblestone paths that separated after the Moon Gate came in, and the willow branches that hung to the ground. I sat down under the tree and tried to get out again, but was knocked back by the willow.

Does this mean that the willow is connected to something that doesn't want me to go out?

In fact, if one thought carefully, the willow branches hanging on the ground seemed to be like a cage.

As I thought about it, my eyes gradually closed, and in my mind's eye I saw everything I had seen since I entered the Moon Gate.

The small courtyard looked like a right angle to the corner, which meant that the courtyard should be a square structure. From the entrance to the willow tree, there was only a full wide path, and the road was split, extending outwards from both sides of the willow tree.

The quadrangular courtyard, the space of the separated bridgemen, and the cage-like growth of the willow tree …

What's the connection? What does it have to do with me being here?

As he thought about it, the darkness in front of him suddenly became clear, as if someone was holding a lamp in the depths of his mind. The light was dim, but it was enough to point him in a direction.

I walked in that direction step by step.

Walking up to it, I saw something that was beyond my expectations.

Bridey was sitting in the darkness, his body shimmering in and out of the light from the peas beside him.

He was wearing a light green battle armor with snake patterns on it. His hair was tied up high on his head and his eyes were closed. He looked like he was waiting for someone.

When I walked to his side, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me sorrowfully, scaring me.

Perhaps it was because I was used to seeing the way Qiao Ji dressed as a woman, but suddenly seeing him return to his male form and still looking at me like that, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Bridey?" I called to him tentatively.

Bridey ignored me, still sitting up straight.

I wondered, wasn't he waiting for me in my mind? Why did he still have no reaction when I appeared?

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a series of powerful footsteps behind him. The sound of their footsteps was so loud that it seemed like we were seventeen years old and ready to fight at any moment. It seems like I know who this person is!

As expected, Tao Tie's figure soon appeared in my line of sight.

So it wasn't me who was waiting for her.

One of them had an arrogant expression while the other had grief in his eyes.

And they didn't seem to see me.

I was glad they couldn't see it, so I might know more.

The first one to speak was Tao Tie, his voice was the same as his body, still very young. He said to Qiao Ji who was sitting on the ground: "We are going to war."

Qiao Qiao stared at him without blinking. After a long while, she only replied with a "En".

Tao Tie seemed to be very unhappy about Qiao Ji's cold attitude. His voice faintly carried some anger: "You don't have anything you want to say to me?"

The corner of Qiao Qiao's mouth curved up. The candle flame beside her flickered. His smile appeared somewhat lonely in the darkness. Qiao Ji said, "I am not your person. What do you want me to say?"

Tao Tie was obviously choked by these words. His cheeks tensed up and he said: "Yes, you are not my person. What else can I ask you to say!"

"I heard that if you perform outstandingly in this war, you're going to marry a woman of the Royal Family?"

He did not give in because of Qiao Ji's words. Instead, he faced the blade and said, "That's right, as long as I do well, I will marry a woman of the Royal Family, but that is not certain. The queen does not know whether it is a man or a woman, even if it is a man, I can still marry him!"

As an outsider, when I heard these words, I knew that the Taotie was intentionally trying to anger Qiao Qiao. However, when I was unaware of the situation, she actually believed me.

He fought with the Taotie first, but in the end, because of the lack of martial power, no one had ever defeated the Taotie and ended up suffering a crushing defeat.

Qiao Ji was pressed down by the Taotie. Her entire body was covered in blood and her light green battle robe was scattered all over the ground. Under the light of the tenacious struggle within the lantern light, it seemed as though all the hope on the ground had been shattered.

Tao Tie stared at Qiao Ji with his crimson eyes and said: "Qiao Ji, do you really wish for me to leave?"

Qiao Ji paused for a moment and did not immediately reply. Instead, he stared at the Taotie with a dazed look in his eyes.

Look at me.

I really want to rush up and say "I don't want you to go!"

But anyway, I'm not a Bridge Lady. After a long silence, she finally said the exact opposite.

"It is the right path for a man to build his career, not to mention that the Underworld has always respected the strong. Tao Tie, I wish you the best in your battle and become famous, to embrace the rivers and mountains, and to enjoy the beauty."

I can already feel how furious Tao Tie is at this moment just by looking at it.

This is still not the end. "Qiao Ji continued:" Didn't you always say that you want to find a woman to continue the Taotie bloodline? It just so happens that I have to take advantage of this opportunity. A woman of the Royal Family will definitely let me …

"Shut up!" The Taotie roared at Qiao Ji! Her chestnut eyes were wide and bloodshot.

"Why shut up? I am a man. The noble Lord Taotie must have been troubled over this matter for a long time, right? Now you can finally get away from it …

The Taotie was furious at last, and with a thump, he knocked the bridgehead across the ground. The whole body of the bridgehead landed heavily on the ground and bounced up, and by the time he landed I was too scared to look at him.

The lights flickered fiercely, and half of Qiao Ji's body, which had been split open by the fall, disappeared into the darkness. The faint sound of bones cracking came from the darkness, appearing eerie in the empty space with only the light of a bean.

When the Gobblers left, Qiao Ji was lying alone in the darkness. I wanted to help him, but I didn't know how.

It was clearly a misunderstanding, but because of the two 'not wanting to say it', it was twisted.

I finally know why they had that look when I first saw the Gobblers and the Bridges.

Qiao Ji thought that Tao Ge was going out to build a career because he was a man, and then he would marry other people. Tao Tie, however, became angry because Qiao Ji didn't say anything soft when he left and urged him to stay. (TL: Chinese idiom: Taotie = Taotie = Taotie = Taotie = Taotie = Taotie = Taotie = Taotie = Taotie)

The arguments seemed ridiculous, but they had lasted nine hundred years, and even the bridgemen had deformed.

I walked up to Bridey, who was lying on her back on the floor, and tried to say, "It's all a misunderstanding," but I couldn't open my mouth.

Looking at the dark surroundings around me, I suddenly had a feeling that I might just be mistaken.

This was not really my mind, but the mind of Bridey, and all this came from his unforgettable memories. And I'm just an outsider who suddenly broke in.

Suddenly, she coughed out another mouthful of blood and opened her eyes.

I was startled and wanted to help him up, but when I met his eyes, I didn't dare to reach out my hand.

I saw that his eyes had turned black, not just his pupils, but his entire eyeball.

He muttered to himself, "You've always liked women, haven't you? Always? Then why did you come and provoke me back then! "

The sound gradually became hysterical. After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of chewing teeth and meat coming from the darkness. I felt my blood run cold as I instinctively moved closer to the flickering flame. After looking around, I found that the sound came from under the foot of Qiao Ji.

Before I could listen carefully, the thing that made a sound suddenly appeared in the dim yellow light. I took advantage of the dim light to scan my surroundings and instantly felt a layer of cold sweat on my back!
