Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 135 Return to the Underworld

Geng Miaowan thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Probably not."

"I understand." His emotionless voice betrayed his displeasure and helplessness.

After saying goodbye to Peng Yuxian, Geng Miaowan walked out of the villa without any further obstacles. She didn't look back, so she didn't see the expression on Peng Yuxian's face after she left, nor did she see the figure standing blankly at the window on the second floor of the villa, watching her leave.

Back in the Underworld, she spent an hour completing the mission report and handed it to Jiao Lingfeng. Jiao Lingfeng seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness that had happened between them last time, and his attitude towards her remained the same as always.

Geng Miaowan wasn't a petty or calculative person, so she had almost completely forgotten about what happened last time. Since he didn't mention it, she naturally wouldn't either.

Finally, she asked him, "Lord Chujiang, I'd like to ask if there's a quiet place around here where I can transition my cultivation?"

"You're getting promoted again?" He looked at her suspiciously, a strange expression appearing on his face after she nodded. If he remembered correctly, she had only been promoted not long ago. "If it's a promotion, it's usually fine to do it in your own room."

"Won't it collapse? What about the spiritual energy surge generated by the increase in cultivation level?"

“The place we live in has a barrier, and the spiritual energy impact caused by a breakthrough usually doesn’t affect it, unless…” Jiao Lingfeng suddenly drew out his words, and his face became serious.

"Unless what?" Seeing his reaction, Geng Miaowan couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Unless... it's a tribulation." Jiao Lingfeng looked at her, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

Geng Miaowan was speechless. This Jiao Lingfeng seemed upright, but sometimes his words and actions had a carefree, irresponsible air about him. However, she was still concerned about another issue. "Can the residents in the same building feel it?"

She asked cautiously, afraid that the question would arouse his suspicions. However, since she had asked, it was bound to arouse curiosity in others, just like Jiao Lingfeng. He gave her a strange look and asked, "Why are you asking so clearly?"

"I was just worried about causing you trouble..."

"Your little tricks are nothing special?" The implication was that her cultivation level was insufficient and could not possibly cause any trouble for the residents of the building.

Geng Miaowan thought about it and realized it made sense. Those buildings were inhabited by Yama Kings from various palaces, each with a cultivation level of at least a thousand or eight hundred years. What trouble could someone like her, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, possibly cause them?

However, besides her own cultivation, she also has Luan Hao, who is an old demon who has lived for tens of thousands of years. She cannot guarantee that he will not cause them any trouble.

This is the underworld, and her residence is home to all ten Kings of Hell. If even a trace of abnormal demonic energy leaks out, she'll be captured without a doubt. So naturally, she needs to ask as many questions as possible.

She glanced at him sideways, revealing her dissatisfaction, and said in a tone that seemed both serious and insincere, "Do you think I'll just keep making small fuss all the time?"

It must be said that she controlled her expression quite well; even Jiao Lingfeng didn't notice anything unusual, assuming she was just expressing dissatisfaction because she felt underestimated. He chuckled dryly twice, finally regaining his normal tone, "Don't worry, each suite has been individually secured. Even if you set off a bomb in there, it won't affect anyone else."

His words reassured Geng Miaowan, and she thought that she would level up as soon as she got back.

She left the office and returned to her seat, wanting to check her points. Upon entering the main system, a message appeared on the screen: "Your identity level is [Level 1]."

Level? It turns out she had already reached that level in points.

Then, a directory appeared on the screen, containing basic information about the underworld and the structure of the six realms. There was also a forum. She remembered that the last time she logged in, there was nothing there. It seemed that the system granted access to content based on the user's permissions; currently, she could only access the basics.

However, she wasn't particularly curious, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

She glanced at the basic introduction to the Underworld and the structure of the Six Realms, and most of the content was similar to what she already knew. It was something like the Underworld existing between the Six Realms yet also separate from them. However, one thing caught her attention: the interface space of this world.

As mentioned above, countless spaces exist in the universe, distributed either parallelly or intersecting. To distinguish them, the underworld uses different numbers to represent them. This might sound a bit confusing, but Geng Miaowan still understood it.

She summarized it as follows: if an infinitely large axis is placed in the universe, then those spaces are based on two specific spaces as axes and the point where they intersect is the origin, and other spaces are infinitely parallel to the axes and the point where they intersect.

In the space parallel to the axis and to its left and right, time is either before or after that point, which is commonly referred to as the past and the future.

The various vertical and horizontal spaces appear to be independent of each other and do not intersect. However, there are hidden intersections between the horizontal and vertical spaces. This is the main reason why when entering a spacetime rift, one may accidentally enter another space, or even enter the void between several parallel spaces.

If that were the case, she might still be able to find the space she lived in before her reincarnation, and if given the chance, she could go back and see the parents who had raised her for over twenty years. However, when she tried to examine the specific contents of the space, nothing was displayed; it seemed to be beyond her current access level.

Now that we know, we'll have another chance to find out in the future.

After getting a general understanding of these things, she clicked into the forum to take a look. There was basically nothing useful there. She randomly clicked on a few forums and found that they were nothing more than gossip and rumors.

As if they were the most loving couple in the underworld, she glanced at the list and saw that at the top were actually the Five Senses King Feng Xuanyi and the Urban King Zhan Xisheng. Below were some photos of the two of them together, obviously taken secretly. But their eyes and expressions were spot on, and they definitely looked like they were full of bromance.

It's obvious at a glance that the photographer is very skilled.

The photo was captioned: "Beautiful and arrogant uke (bottom) and domineering and loyal seme (top)."

Geng Miaowan wondered, don't those guys even go on the forum? Is it really okay for their boss to be so blatant about this...?

Geng Miaowan couldn't help but think about the times she'd seen those two. It seemed they always appeared together. Okay, she admitted, she hadn't thought much of it at first, but after this post, it really did seem like there was some truth to it. (To be continued.)
