"It's neither the underworld nor the world of the living."

"How to say?"

"This is the place where yin and yang meet, so it is neither the underworld nor the world of the living."

"Our citizens here are all pitiful people abandoned by the world."

"The living world cannot accommodate them, and the underworld will not accept them. With nowhere else to go, they gather here and form a country of their own."

Unlike her previous casual tone, the queen's face was filled with sadness when she said the last few words, and it didn't seem fake.

Yu Beiming asked her: "What about the female ghost who led us here?"

The queen sighed: "She is a wronged soul on the river, wandering back and forth in the river in a small boat. Occasionally, she would bring some uninvited guests to Xiliang Kingdom, such as you."

The above are all that Yu Beiming could ask.

According to the queen, except for the woman who brought them here who was a ghost, the others were normal humans.

Indeed, all the people they met along the way, from the common people to the noble queen, had no yin energy at all, but it would not be entirely correct to say that they were human.

How can a living person survive in such a place?

While Yu Beiming was still thinking, the queen had already walked down from the throne, came to him, and confessed her love deeply:

"Bei Ming, I like you very much. I liked you from the first moment I saw you. I want to take you as my son-in-law, are you willing?"

When she said this, the imperial majesty faded, leaving only the shyness of a child.

She looked at Yu Beiming shyly: "I am willing to marry you with my kingdom and my true love, are you willing?"

"I don't want to." Yu Beiming refused bluntly.

"Why?" The queen was confused.

"What men in this world covet are nothing more than wealth, power and beauty."

"Do you think I'm not beautiful enough? Or do you think this country's power is not great enough?"

She pointed at the numerous buildings outside the palace and said, "This vast territory, this great power, and I can all be yours! Isn't this enough to make you excited?"

Yu Beiming replied: "You are beautiful enough, and the power and wealth here are attractive enough. But these are not what I want. If it is not what I want, all the good things in the world are just mirages to me."

The Queen asked him, "What do you want?"

Yu Beiming changed the subject: "Your Majesty, to be honest, we are here to look for someone. They entered your country by mistake, and I hope Your Majesty can let them go."

The queen smiled and said, "I can release the person you are looking for. I will also try my best to meet any conditions you put forward. As long as you are willing to stay and be my queen, I can agree to anything."

"Then I'll take my leave."

Yu Beiming said this as he stood up and walked out.

Jiang Shu hurried to catch up.

Suddenly, countless soldiers emerged from outside the hall and surrounded them.

The queen waved her hand, and the soldiers around her put away their weapons and stood on both sides.

The queen stopped smiling and said coldly, "A forced melon is not sweet. I will not use force to force you to stay. But you just drank the wine here - this wine is brewed with water from the Zimu River."

"In our country, all families are female. If you want to reproduce, you only need to drink a cup of river water. In a short while, the baby will appear in your belly. After ten days of rest, the baby will be born naturally."

"But men are different. Men don't have a birth canal. When giving birth, the fetus bursts out of the abdomen and the father dies suddenly."

"But if you and I get married, during sex, you can transfer your fetal energy into my body."

"Bei Ming, I am willing to bear the pain of pregnancy and childbirth for you as a precious daughter. I only ask you to stay and stay with me forever."

She is the queen of a country, but her tone of voice reveals a hint of humility and pleading, which would easily make anyone fall in love with her.

But Yu Beiming's heart seemed to be made of gold and stone, cold and ruthless.

"Farewell."

He only said this and left the palace with Jiang Shu without looking back.

The queen did not send anyone to stop him, but just looked at his departing back reluctantly.

After a moment, she murmured, "As expected, he is the man I fell in love with at first sight. He is indeed different from the others."

The female official next to him asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why didn't you send someone to stop him?"

The Queen said confidently: "He will come back."

Jiang Shu was very worried about Yu Beiming.

His worries manifested themselves in his constant chatter:

"This place is really weird, it's exactly like what's described in Journey to the West. You shouldn't have drunk that wine just now."

"How are you feeling now? Any strange feeling in your stomach?"

"If you really get pregnant, do you need to find water from the abortion spring to help you conceive? But is there an abortion spring here?"

"If there is a Fountain of Abortion, will there be monsters guarding it? I don't know if the monsters here are powerful enough to block my bullets."

It was not until they left the palace that Yu Beiming said to him, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

There was indeed something wrong with the drinks at the banquet.

Yu Beiming discovered this at the beginning.

But if she didn't drink the wine the Queen offered her, she might not tell the truth.

In order to find out Zhou Peng's whereabouts, Yu Beiming naturally had to drink that glass of wine.

But after drinking it, he pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and spit it out calmly.

Hearing this, Jiang Shu heaved a sigh of relief: "So you had a back-up plan. It was a close call. But I also saw you wiping your mouth with a handkerchief. That white handkerchief was so thin that the color would show through if you spit out any wine. But you just drank two large glasses of wine, how come the handkerchief didn't look wet at all?"

Yu Beiming's handkerchief was naturally blessed with magical powers. Not to mention two sips of wine, even if two jars of wine were poured on it, it would not be visible.

"Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to rescue Zhou Peng."

"Where is the Prime Minister's Mansion? This royal city looks very big. Going door to door is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"There's a family up ahead, why not go ask them?"

"I'll go find out!"

As Jiang Shu spoke, he trotted into a family's house to inquire about the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yu Beiming was standing at the intersection waiting.

Not long after, a gunshot was heard.

When Yu Beiming went over, he saw Jiang Shu standing on the bed in dishevel, holding a gun and shouting, "If you dare to molest me again, I'll kill you!"

There were six women in the room, all of them looked as ferocious as wolves and tigers.

One of them said with a smile: "Don't get excited, young man. We sisters really want to make love with you. What is that thing you are holding in your hand? The sound is too scary."

Suddenly they heard the door open, and the girls turned around to see a more handsome man coming in.

Their eyes lit up:

"What kind of luck did I have today? I met two handsome men in succession."

"Just now we were worried that one person couldn't stand the torment of six of us sisters. Now it's good, a pair has come!"

"Big sister, lock it up quickly! If the neighbors see it, they will definitely come and snatch it away."

"Bang!" The door was closed, but it was Yu Beiming who closed the door.

"You are quite sensible." A woman came to pull Yu Beiming with a smile.
