"Yan Nuo, get out of my way. Don't intentionally change the topic. I can't see through your little trick!"

I helplessly looked at Shen Ta. Nothing could be hidden from the eyes of the police. However, this thing just told me that he knew that I was Zishan Ming's wife and wouldn't harm me. He hoped that I could save him. I felt that this guy had some ability after all, and might be able to help at any time.

"Shen Tuo, just let me keep it. Who knows, we might need his help in the future!"

Shen Tuo seems to have a deep grudge towards this thing in front of him, unwilling to give up on killing him no matter what. In the end, he simply grabbed my shoulder with one hand and walked behind me.

Seeing that the renting process couldn't stop Shen Tuo anymore, in the end, there was nothing he could do. He could only try his best: "Shen Tuo, I beg of you, don't kill him. He's so small, he won't do anything to us!"

Shen Tuo acted as if he was deaf and ignored my words. He grabbed the little kid that was on my finger and held him in his hand.

This time, Shen Ta did not take out any symbols. Could it be that Shen Ta did not plan to kill him?

Seeing me standing there in a daze, Shen Tuo seemed to have guessed my thoughts. He coldly snorted and slowly started to explain, "There is no need to waste my precious rune to kill a brat of this level!"

I was shocked. What?! Shen Tuo still wants to kill him!?

"Shen Tuo, how are you going to keep him!"

Shen Tuo gripped the little ghost in his hand tightly and helplessly replied, "If something like this remains by your side, he will absorb the aura of others to promote his growth. If you aren't afraid of death, you can keep him!"

After saying that, Shen Tuo actually threw the little child back at me. Feeling flattered, I quickly used my hands to catch him. This little baby-like child's hands and feet were wrapped around my fingers. His eyes were filled with tears as he smiled at me.

I was afraid that Shen Tuo would change the topic at hand, so I didn't say anything more and just placed the doll beside my ear, pretending to listen to him. Finally, I raised my head towards Shen Tuo and smiled: "This guy said, he is very grateful to you. He will repay you!"

After that, I followed Shen Ta like a lackey.

On the way, the voice of the child continued to echo in my head. I gradually came to understand that this fellow didn't have a name and his ability to control these walls was the only thing I could do. I was momentarily disappointed that the fellow who had made us suffer so much was actually such a weak little thing.

Without the mischievous tease of this child, the Pagoda tree seemed to be right in front of his eyes.

In a moment of excitement, I shouted at Shen Tuo: "Look, Shen Tuo, that Pagoda tree, the Pagoda tree is over there!"

"So you are going to the Pagoda tree. In that case, do you know the secret of the Pagoda tree?"

This is the first time the little guy has spoken, speaking in front of me and Shen Tuo. When Shen Tuo heard this, he surprisingly raised his eyebrows and grabbed him from my hands: "Could it be that you are the thing from the legends?"

Hearing this, I was confused. "What thing? "What thing?"

Helpless, Shen Ta could only explain to me.

However, it was said that he was like a prophet, that he could be asked anything he wanted. It was just that he himself was not aggressive, because everyone wanted it, and he did not have the ability to defend himself, so he ended up running everywhere.

Therefore, hiding within the walls was a way to protect himself.

We walked on for a long time. When I looked forward, I was a bit lost. The locust tree in the distance didn't seem to show any signs of shortening in distance. It was exactly the same as when we saw the little guy.

At this moment, the little fellow spoke, "It's fine, just keep going forward. This path is the right path. When we arrive at the right place, I will inform you."

Listening to the little guy, I suddenly realized that I might have picked up a treasure! I looked at Shen Ta complacently and rejoiced that Shen Ta still hadn't killed him.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shen Tuo suddenly stopped and frowned as if thinking of something. After a while, Shen Tuo opened his mouth and asked, "Yan Nuo, do you feel that something is strange? "It's already dawn. In other words, it's already the day in the underworld. Why is there not a single person on the street?"

Hearing God's Delay say so, I subconsciously looked around. Previously, I was so focused on travelling that I didn't pay much attention to it. At this moment, I realised that there wasn't anyone around me.

[What is going on?]

At this moment, the little fellow actually raised its head from the center of my palm and smiled mysteriously at me. "You'll know when you find the great locust tree!"

I lightly pinched the little fellow's face, afraid that I would break it. However, this fellow's ability to deliberately mystify things was truly amazing!

I don't know how long I walked for, but I was so tired that I felt like I had lost all my strength. I looked at the little thing that was being comfortably held in my hand and couldn't help but feel a little resentful. It's all my fault for letting us walk on such a wrong path.

Just as I was about to continue walking forward, the little fellow in my hand opened its mouth. "This is the place."

What? Right here? But that great locust tree was still so far away from us, as if we couldn't get there no matter how hard we tried.

"There is a Spirit Formation here. Go ahead and don't turn your head or else the Spirit Formation will move."

Hearing the little guy's words, Shen Tuo and I closed our eyes and walked forward. After we walked a few steps, we suddenly heard the little guy's voice in our ears, "I say, big sister. I told you not to turn around. I didn't ask you to close your eyes. You should open them quickly!"

Hearing the little guy's words, I realized that I had actually closed my eyes because of my nervousness. Embarrassed, I opened my eyes. Just as I was about to smile at the little fellow, I astonishingly discovered that the great locust tree, which was always so far away in the horizon, was right in front of us!

Shen Ta and I were pleasantly surprised as we walked forward until we reached the bottom of the Pagoda tree. Shen Ta probed us by stroking the trunk of the Pagoda tree, trying to find an entrance to another world.

The little guy shifted his position in my hand and leaned forward with both hands on his head. He was clearly much more relaxed than before. "This tree is the holy tree on this dark street. Only the most prominent family is qualified to live in it."

It turned out that the leaves of this great locust tree had never fallen off, and the key to another world was precisely these dark green leaves.

Following the little guy's instructions, Shen Tuo and I each plucked a leaf from the locust tree and placed it in our palms. Then, we placed our palms on the trunk of the locust tree.

The moment my palm touched the tree trunk, the entire Pagoda tree suddenly started to shake violently, causing the ground beneath my feet to tremble. I even grabbed onto Shen Tuo tightly, barely managing to keep from falling to the ground.

At this moment, I felt a bright green light shoot down from above my head. Following the direction of the light, I saw that something was emitting a dark green light from the top of the locust tree. It was so dazzling that I couldn't help but close my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, we were in another world.

In front of him was a huge mansion, different from the pawnshop he had entered before. The mansion looked magnificent on the outside, with many people passing by. Most of them were people who brought gifts and invitations to enter the mansion.

Naturally, these ghosts disguised as humans were all well-dressed and smiling. They looked like rich old masters and wives.

Standing in front of the door was an old man with a very amiable smile, as if he was the butler of a wealthy family.

Following their example, we also walked up to the front of the gate. We smiled at the old man, and just as we were about to enter, we were stopped. "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, do you have an invitation?"

Shen Ta and I looked at each other and helplessly shook our heads.

At this moment, the butler started to look at us with disdain, as if we were here to beg for food.

However, the butler still patiently bowed to us and continued to ask with a smile, "Do the two of you have any gift money with you?"

Hearing this, I was at a loss at first, but Shen Ta directly opened his mouth to ask: "What is going on inside?"

It was then that we learned that the young master of this family had taken another wife, and that a great feast was being held in the household.

I thought to myself, This guy is really a bold guy. He wanted to snatch me back right in front of the bride-to-be, but after just a short while, he actually married me again!

Shen Ta and I dejectedly walked to the side, discussing what to do. However, the little fellow in my hand spoke again, "Don't you have money?"

I ruthlessly rolled my eyes at him. Isn't this obvious? Why are you asking me!? I shamelessly didn't say anything, but Shen Tuo looked at him seriously, as if hoping that he would help us come up with a good idea.

"I really didn't expect that he would have the nerve to come to their house to eat and drink without money!"

The little guy continued to speak boldly, as if it was taking revenge on Shen Tuo for nearly killing it.

[But we don't have any money after all!]

"This is the Underworld, of course we can't use your money. The money we have here is called paper money, right?"

I suddenly thought of the day when we first met Zhao Xue's bridal escort party on the street. When Zhao Xue's husband sat on her horse and the surrounding staff members scattered the paper money all over the place, I realized that this person was actually this generous. If this was the real world, wouldn't that mean that she would spend a hundred yuan worth of money on the big road?!

Just as I was at a loss of what to do, Shen Tuo suddenly turns around and walks back without saying a word. I hastily followed and called out to him, but he didn't stop. He didn't even look back as he said, "Let's go and get the money."

Shen Tuo's words were filled with calmness, while I was even more curious about his whereabouts. This fellow, where exactly is he going to get the money from?
