Birds in the wind, butterflies in the clouds.
This was the land of dreams that the Gods loved.
Underworld.
In the courtyard in front of the White Jade Restaurant, there were two figures, one green and one white, fighting.
The sound of a young girl shouting and the clashing of swords could be heard from time to time.
It was Ashina and Demondream.
Sitting in the corridor, You Yuzi was swinging her legs under her kimono. She was eating glutinous rice balls with her cheeks puffed up as she watched the two fight.
Her pink lips that were paler than a normal person's opened and closed gracefully as the glutinous rice balls decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Reaching out, she found that she had grabbed nothing but air. She immediately puffed up her little mouth.
"Little Xingzi!! No more! "
"Yes, Lord You Yuzi! I'm coming! "
A ghost wearing a chef's uniform flew out of the kitchen with a tray in hand.
It was Liu Maoxing.
After turning into a ghost, Liu Maoxing seemed to have lost all his interests and emotions as a human, only retaining his passion for cooking.
Adding on You Yuzi's status as Meow King, ah pui, I mean as Huaxu's undead and the owner of the White Jade Restaurant's natural suppression towards undead creatures, Liu Maoxing had practically become an undead that only had cooking in his life — — But this didn't seem right for the already dead Little Master?
Cough cough, please don't mind these small matters.
Placing the tray of glutinous rice balls piled up into a small mountain on the corridor beside You Yuzi, Liu Maoxing floated back to the kitchen.

"Why do I feel like that ghost is very pitiful …"
Wielding Aistel, who had transformed into a Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword, Ashina blocked Demondream's attack and pursed her lips into a smile.
Demondream dodged Ashina's kick as she replied, "Actually, he's probably very happy in his heart. You don't know, but when he's cooking in the kitchen, that little ghost is so excited that his entire body is glowing."
"That's really interesting — — Aiya!"
In a moment of carelessness, Ashina's wrist was struck by Demondream's sword hilt.
The numb feeling from her arm made Ashina unable to hold onto her sword, and the Demon Vanquishing Sacred Sword flew out.
Demondream immediately withdrew her sword and retreated, looking at Ashina with a smile.
The Demon Vanquishing Holy Sword that flew into the air turned into Aistel in a flash of light. The Holy Sword Maiden hurriedly ran over and looked at Ashina with concern.
"Sister, are you alright?"
"I'm fine …"
After stroking Aistel's head and causing the little fellow to reveal an adorable kitten like expression, Ashina looked towards Demondream.
"Really, Big Sister Demondream seems to have become even more powerful."
"Well, because of Little Star, I have more time to practice my sword. If I don't work harder, I will be surpassed by you, Ashina."
He sheathed Lou Guanjian, his eyes full of smiles.
"Ming Minai's talent is really good …"
"My wife's talent is naturally outstanding."
A gap opened, and Eight-cloud Ink jumped out.
"Mo!"
Seeing Eight-cloud Ink, Ashina called out in surprise and pulled Aistel to his side.
Taking out a handkerchief from his sleeve, Eight-cloud Ink gently wiped the sweat on Ashina's forehead, and carefully tidied up her messy hair due to the battle.
"I heard from Indigo that you came to White Jade Tower to look for Demondream again, so I came to see."
"You still know to come see me — —"
Although she enjoyed Eight-cloud Ink's gentleness, Ashina still rolled her eyes at him.
"— — Why don't you accompany your Kanon-chan and Natsuki-chan?"
"Natsuki-chan and Kanon went back to Itogami Island. Didn't I say before that Natsuki-chan planned to wait until Kojou established his Akatsuki Empire and handed over the management of the prison barrier to the half-baked vampire True Ancestor before moving to Fantasyland."
Pinching Ashina's nose with two fingers, Eight-cloud Ink patted Aistel's head, who was pulling his sleeve, and said: "Jealous?"
"Hmph!"
"Young Master Mo is really a sinful monster."
Demondream hugged her companion spirit, first bowed to Eight-cloud Ink, then straightened up and smiled.
Eight-cloud Ink rolled his eyes, turned around, and walked to the side of the corridor. You Yuzi kept eating glutinous rice balls, and said clearly: "Ah, little brother Mo, you came?"
"It must be hard for Sister Youzi to talk while eating."
As if he was in his own courtyard, Eight-cloud Ink sat down beside You Yuzi and took a glutinous rice ball to try.
"Little master's skills have improved, a glutinous rice ball can taste like a small broken bone."
At the side, Demondream hugged her companion spirit, her heart trembling with lingering fear.
Seeing this scene, Ashina covered her mouth and chuckled, causing Aistel to tilt her cute head curiously.
"Aiya, aiya, today is really lively …"
You You Zi suddenly said without rhyme or reason.
"Hmm?"
Before Eight-cloud Ink understood the meaning of this sentence, a magic formation suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
Accompanied by light, a beautiful girl with short green hair appeared in front of the White Jade Building.
The girl was wearing a blue, very solemn robe and a gorgeous crown on her head.
The words "Yes" and "No" were embroidered on the shoulder of the robe.
The girl held a token in her hand, and an octagonal glass mirror hung on her waist. She had a serious expression.
"Hmm? Lord Four Seasons, why do you have time to come here? "
Eight-cloud Ink asked curiously after seeing who it was.
It was Four Seasons Echo Concubine.
The chief judge of the park walked in front of Eight-cloud Ink with the Staff of Penance and knocked it on Eight-cloud Ink's forehead without hesitation.
"Dong!"
Eight-cloud Ink didn't dare to dodge Four Seasons Echo Concubine's strike.
"Although I have something to talk to you about, it's against the rules for a living monster like you to casually enter the Underworld. Even if you haven't committed any sins, you'll still be recorded in the Book of Life and Death if you ignore the boundary between life and death and enter the Underworld. I'll kindly remind you for the sake of the Sage Monster … "
"Hey, stop stop stop! Lord Four Seasons, please don't lecture me. "
Eight-cloud Ink hurriedly raised her hand and interrupted Four Seasons Echo Concubine with a smile. Otherwise, Lord Yan Luo would probably talk for a few days.
"Um, Lord Four Seasons said you have something to talk to me about? What is it? "
"Hmph!"
Four Seasons Echo Concubine seemed to be very dissatisfied with Eight-cloud Ink interrupting her lecture as she frowned and snorted.
"I originally wanted to go to the world of the living to look for you, but after sensing your presence in the White Jade Building, I decided to come here directly."
"Ever since you came back from the other world and adjusted the barrier with your sister, I discovered a problem."
"A problem?"
Eight-cloud Ink was shocked. Although Four Seasons Echo Concubine looked like a cute little loli, it was undeniable that she was actually a very powerful Yama.
She was a Yama that could judge the merits of the dead and see right through good and evil.
"I'm in charge of the Hall of Truth and Wrongs in the Eastern Land, including the Fantasy Village."
Four Seasons Echo Concubine stared at Eight-cloud Ink and said.
"That's why I can clearly sense the connection between the two worlds of the living and the dead. However, after you and your sister adjusted the barrier, there's a problem with the passage of the dead between the Fantasy Village and the Underworld that I'm in charge of!"
"I'll be very troubled if that happens! If the dead can't enter the Underworld smoothly and stay in the mortal world for too long, they'll become vengeful spirits! If that's the case, as the culprit, you and the Demon Sage will both be given a huge demerit! Do you want to go to hell after you die! Even if you're a demon, you can't act so recklessly … "
"Wait!"
Eight-cloud Ink immediately thought of something after hearing Four Seasons Echo Concubine's words.
"Lord Four Seasons, you're saying that the dead in the Fantasy Village can't enter the Underworld from the world of the living?"
"It's not a big problem for the time being —"
Four Seasons Echo Concubine was interrupted by Eight-cloud Ink again and hit him with the Stick of Regret again.
"I don't know what the final result will be, but apart from the problem with the connection between the Fantasy Village and the Underworld that I'm in charge of, there's another problem. That is, there's a connection between the world of the dead and the Underworld here. "
"What does that mean?"
Four Seasons Echo Concubine rolled her eyes at Eight-cloud Ink and snorted.
"Some time ago, I discovered that among the dead awaiting trial, there were actually the dead from the Elemental Fairy World, the dead from that Magic Forbidden World, and two other normal dead from the human world!"
