Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 131 Black and White Impermanence

Qianmian Shang's primordial spirit seemed to sense the danger and dodged to the side. The silver whip, as if it had known its trajectory all along, turned around at the same time as it dodged and wrapped around it in an instant.

Instantly, after the primordial spirit was entangled by the whip, a flash of light revealed a human form.

Immediately afterward, a thunderous laugh rang out from outside the window, and a second later, a handsome man in a long black robe appeared before Geng Miaowan, with thick eyebrows and large eyes. When Geng Miaowan saw him, he was grinning, revealing two sharp canine teeth, making him look somewhat cute.

Therefore, it can be deduced that the laughter came from his mouth. However, this person looked somewhat familiar to her.

The man held the other end of the whip and gently pulled it back, drawing Qianmian Shang's primordial spirit in front of him. He glanced at Qianmian Shang's primordial spirit, then swept his gaze over the people in the room, and said, "Ah, it seems I've arrived just in time."

Thousand Faces was furious. She had finally gotten a chance to escape, only to have it ruined by this person. She couldn't help but yell at him, "Who are you? Why are you capturing me?"

This was also what Geng Miaowan wanted to ask, so when she saw that Qianmian Shang had already asked, she didn't bring it up herself. She simply conspired with Xu Ruwen and Xiaobai in her sea of ​​consciousness, instructing them to be ready at all times to snatch back Qianmian Shang's primordial spirit whenever they had the chance.

The man chuckled, then took out a small booklet from his pocket, flipped through a few pages, and read aloud, "Qianmian Shang, real name Yan Qiurong, born in 1902, a native of Yanhu..."

Hearing the person recite her entire life story word for word, Qianmian Shang, also known as Yan Qiurong, was stunned. She was in her appearance a hundred years ago, before she became a demon; even she herself no longer recognized her delicate features.

She stared at the newcomer, asking in fear, "Who are you?" Her body trembled slightly, as if she had a premonition of something.

The man laughed again, "If the King of Hell wants you dead at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn?"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone present who heard it understood his implied meaning.

"You...you are..."

“That’s right. I am Black Impermanence.” After saying that, he even showed his signature fangs. Looking at the dumbfounded Geng Miaowan, he greeted her familiarly, “Hi, we meet again.”

When he revealed himself to be Black Impermanence, Yan Qiurong turned deathly pale. She knew that Black and White Impermanence were the guides to the underworld; their appearance meant death was imminent.

"You... hello..."

Geng Miaowan suddenly remembered that this person was the handsome man in black she had bumped into at the elevator entrance when she first arrived in the Underworld. She never imagined that this young and handsome man would be the Black Impermanence; it was so different from what she had imagined.

Xu Ruwen noticed the different expressions on everyone's faces in the room, but he didn't know what had happened. He could only squeeze next to Xu Ruwen and ask him, "What happened? Who is Miaowan talking to? Why do you all look like you've seen a ghost?"

“It’s just a ghost,” Xu Ruwen replied, though he wasn’t sure if Black Impermanence actually counted as a ghost.

"Since you've captured Thousand Faces' soul, then you can take it back. I need to pack up so I can go back and complete my mission." It was clear from his appearance that his abilities far surpassed hers. Having him take her back to the Underworld was perfectly appropriate.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." After saying that, Geng Miaowan bowed to Hei Wuchang in the style of ancient etiquette.

Black Impermanence chuckled twice and said, "Easy, easy."

She discovered that he really loved to laugh.

Black Impermanence, hooking his arm around Yan Qiurong, said to Geng Wan, "I still have many people to take back to the Underworld, so I won't keep you company any longer."

"No need to see me out..."

Black Impermanence smiled and nodded, about to turn and leave. But then he caught sight of Qiu Pi lying on the bed, barely alive. He exclaimed "Eh?" and came to the bedside. "There's one more here."

Geng Miaowan was startled and quickly came to the bedside, pointing at Qiu Pi and asking, "Him, are you going to take him away too?"

Black Impermanence shrugged. "No, I was just saying. His name isn't on today's roster."

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Why did you yell like that? You made me nervous for nothing." But before she could calm down, Black Impermanence added, "Judging from his appearance, he might be here tomorrow."

"So, will it happen or not?" Geng Miaowan asked anxiously. His inconsistent statements made her feel uneasy.

Black Impermanence smiled calmly, "What's there to be afraid of? Everyone has to go through this day eventually."

Geng Miaowan's face darkened. She always felt that Qiu Pi's current state was all because of her. Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, Hei Wuchang patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, who knows what tomorrow will bring."

Hearing him say that, Yan Qiurong sneered, "I have almost completely assimilated the blood in his body, so there is no way he can survive."

"What did you say?" Geng Miaowan rushed in front of her, reaching out to grab her collar, but she grasped nothing. Yan Qiurong was currently in a primordial spirit state, without a physical body, so she couldn't be grabbed at all.

She stared at her, trying to read something from her face. But Yan Qiurong smiled calmly, her face full of certainty.

Black Impermanence tugged at the whip binding her and looked at her, saying, "That's hard to say. Wasn't it said that there was no way to expel someone possessed by Thousand Faces of Sorrow? You've been expelled now, haven't you?"

After saying that, he glanced at Geng Miaowan with a half-smile. His words seemed directed at Yan Qiurong, but Geng Miaowan sensed something amiss.

Is he helping her?

Just then, another voice rang out from outside the window, "You're doing altar work, have you caught us yet?"

Upon hearing the voice, Black Impermanence quickly straightened his expression and said, "We caught him long ago."

"If you don't leave now that you've caught me, and keep delaying, you'll lose your performance bonus this month." As soon as the words were spoken, a white figure appeared in front of Geng Miaowan.

Another guy who ignored the window.

She looked in the direction the voice came from, and what a handsome and elegant man he was... Ever since she entered the underworld, she had discovered that it didn't have many other things, but it was known for producing handsome men and beautiful women.

The man before her wasn't the most handsome she'd ever seen, but he was in no way inferior. Just standing there motionless, he exuded an astonishing aura, an aura that would inexplicably terrify even ghosts and monsters. That imposing presence was not something acquired overnight. (To be continued.)
