There were too many mysteries and unknowns in the boundless space and time of the universe.
A mysterious inn had suddenly appeared in the mysterious river of time and space. It had no specific location, and no one knew how it had appeared. Everything was a mystery.
The environment of the mysterious inn seemed to change at any time. Sometimes, it was like an ordinary inn, with a main hall, a dining hall, and a garden. Sometimes, it would transform into a palace hall, with civil and military officials standing in two rows. It was dazzling and majestic …
The only thing that didn't change was the young innkeeper who was lying on the long table in the east of the inn. He seemed to be dozing off.
"Sir, our interdimensional inn has been open for more than half a month, but there hasn't been a single guest. Is there a bug in your interdimensional inn's system?"
The innkeeper raised his head and yawned. He glanced at the beautiful girl who was standing beside him, wiping the table lazily, and waved his hand casually.
"Wan 'er, if you're bored, then go back to the Haotian tower to cultivate."
The girl froze when she heard this. She seemed to have thought of something bad, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.
"Wan 'er was wrong. Sir, please let me go. Sister Lin Xi's training methods are too terrifying. Wan' er doesn't want to go back in and suffer anymore!"
The young girl was delicate and pitiful as tears streamed down her face. If she wasn't a ghost cultivator and emitted a gloomy aura from head to toe, ordinary men would probably be impatient to hold her in their arms and pamper her when they saw such a beautiful woman.
However, the innkeeper seemed to be used to the girl's personality. There was a trace of laziness in his calm voice as he casually replied.
"Lin Xi is doing this for your own good. After all, your ghost body has a big flaw. Although you've stepped into the fourth stage with the advancement of my inner world, you can't unleash your full combat strength if you meet a cultivator who can restrain you!"
"Don't worry, Sir. Wan 'er will definitely work hard in cultivating. I won't embarrass you!" The girl quickly nodded and giggled.
Creak!
Just as the master and servant were chatting in boredom, the door that had always been tightly shut and no guests had ever entered was suddenly opened.
"Young Master, our first guest is here!"
Seeing the door of the inn open a crack, the girl named Wan 'er was very happy. She took a step forward and arrived at the entrance. She stood there quietly, waiting for the first guest of the planar inn since it opened for business.
The innkeeper also stood up from his chair. There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He seemed to find this rather interesting.
"I wonder who the first guest will be?"
.....
"When I die, I will have no face to see my ancestors. I will remove my crown, cover my face with my hair, and let the thieves tear me apart. Do not harm a single person."
In an inconspicuous universe, on a tiny planet, a fallen emperor hanged himself on a crooked tree in a coal mountain. Before he died, he left his last will on his clothes.
None of the civil and military officials, not even the common people, followed him. Only the eunuch who had accompanied him since he was young hung himself and followed the Emperor.
Creak …
In the void, a door of light appeared out of thin air. The door slowly opened, and an invisible beam of light wrapped around the souls of the two, sucking them in.
"Chengen, where is this place?"
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a blood-red imperial robe opened his eyes in a daze. He stood at the door and looked at the empty hall around him. He couldn't help but nudge the eunuch beside him.
"Your Majesty, we are already dead. This is most likely the legendary King of Hell's Palace!" The man beside him, who was dressed as the head eunuch and was a little plump, quickly bowed and replied.
"King of Hell's Palace?" The man in the imperial robe sighed, and his eyes were dim. "I don't know if I will see my ancestors here? I really don't know how I will meet them! "
"Your Majesty, the Great Ming Dynasty's fate has come to an end. It is not your fault. Even if the Great Ancestor were alive, he might not be able to turn the tide. You don't have to blame yourself too much!"
The man in the imperial robe sighed and shook his head. He looked disheartened, as if he no longer cared about this awe-inspiring King of Hell's Palace in front of him.
For the ruler of a fallen country, there was no greater sorrow than a dead heart. What else could he not accept?
"Sigh … the two of you, what are you standing at the door for? Hurry up and enter the palace. My young master is still waiting for you! "
At this moment, a displeased young girl's voice suddenly came from the door of the palace. The young girl's voice was very pleasant to the ears. It was crisp and gentle, but for some reason, it gave off a sinister feeling that made people feel terrified from the depths of their souls.
The man in the imperial robe, who had already turned into a ghost, and the eunuch beside him, Cheng En, felt this feeling of terror even more clearly.
"You must be the judge. This is the first time that we, master and servant, have died. We don't have much experience. Please forgive us if we have offended you!"
The man in the imperial robe did not move. Instead, the eunuch beside him cupped his fists and bowed tactfully to the palace. Although he was not sure whether this was King of Hell's Palace, he could not go wrong with being respectful.
"Sigh, I thought that the first guests would be interesting people. After all this time, it turns out to be two dead ghosts. Master will probably be disappointed this time!"
Gongsun Waner's figure, dressed in a long white palace dress, appeared out of thin air at the door. She sized up the two guests and did not seem very satisfied.
"Wan 'er, bring them in!" A calm male voice came from the depths of the empty palace.
"Yes, young master!"
Gongsun Waner replied honestly. With a wave of her hand, she pulled the man in the imperial robe and the eunuch Cheng En into the palace. Since the young master wanted to see them, then so be it.
After all, she had nothing to do. If someone was willing to chat with her, then she could listen to more stories, right?
Buzz!
Just as the royal-robed man and Eunuch Cheng En stepped into the palace, the surrounding environment suddenly changed again. The originally majestic Golden Luan Palace, whose end couldn't be seen, suddenly disappeared. The entire palace turned into the appearance of an inn. Meanwhile, to the east of the inn, a young man who seemed to be the innkeeper stood up and nodded towards them.
"Wan 'er, bring the wine!"
After casually instructing the young girl, the bored Cheng Hao walked out from behind the counter and called out to the two guests, indicating for them to sit down.
The man in the imperial robe and the eunuch beside him bowed somewhat cautiously and sat down at the table beside them. For a moment, they felt uneasy and did not know what to say.
They were now ghosts and their senses were much stronger than when they were mortals. Although they did not know who the owner of the inn before them was, they could not help but have a thought when they first saw him.
