First Summoner

"Chu Ying!"

Qi Yan recognized the person.

Chu Ying is one of the Nine Netherworld Generals under the command of King Hong Ling. She is dressed in a dark red outfit, has a pretty face, a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, and looks very young.

"Qi Yan, why are you here? What's the situation outside?" Chu Ying showed up on her own initiative because she recognized Qi Yan, and she walked over quickly.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan's face turned gloomy, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Who is this?" Chu Ying paused and glanced at Shen Yan vigilantly.

"Chu Ying, this is Ming..." Qi Yan said anxiously.

Shen Yan said: "I am a friend of your Red Spirit King."

Qi Yan was slightly surprised, he didn't understand why she wanted to hide her identity. No, that's not right, Lord Hades was originally a friend of King Red Spirit.

She is now looking for the Red Spirit King as a friend.

When Qi Yan thought of this, he immediately said to Chu Ying: "Chu Ying, this is Wang's friend, he is trustworthy."

After a pause, he added: "Don't be rude."

Chu Ying looked at the masked girl in purple in front of her and became suspicious.

At this moment, Chu Ying caught a glimpse of Qi Yan winking at her from the corner of her eye. Her expression looked very strange. She couldn't help but frown tightly, and she was even more suspicious in her heart. She couldn't guess what Qi Yan wanted to express at all.

Just as the scene fell into a brief silence, Shen Yan finally broke the deadlock and said, "Can you take me to see your Red Spirit King?"

Hearing this, Chu Ying frowned even more tightly. It was obvious that she still had doubts about Shen Yan's request.

So she looked at Qi Yan again, hoping to get a clear instruction from him. Qi Yan looked serious and nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, come with me."

Chu Ying turned around and walked forward.

Shen Yan and Qi Yan followed.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the view suddenly opened up and I saw several exquisite bamboo houses standing in an orderly manner in a lush green bamboo forest.

The bamboo houses are shrouded in a light mist.

Just outside the bamboo house, there stood an old man, dressed in a white robe with fluttering sleeves, looking like a Taoist immortal. In sharp contrast to his otherworldly temperament, his face was a sickly pale color that belonged only to ghosts, without any blood at all.

When his deep eyes looked at everyone, people could not help but feel a chill running down their spine, making their hair stand on end.

"Qi Yan, who is she?!"

Yin Tai stared at Shen Yan closely, his tone full of vigilance and alertness.

Qi Yan hurriedly explained: "She is the king's friend."

Yin Tai smiled coldly, "I have never seen any friends appear around the king."

He said to Qi Yan in a stern voice: "Qi Yan, in order to protect the king's safety, you'd better tie up the woman next to you."

Yin Tai slowly gathered powerful ghost power in his hands. He said expressionlessly: "If you don't want to do it, then get out of the way and let me do it!"

Seeing this, Qi Yan's face changed instantly.

He immediately took two steps forward, raised his arm to block Shen Yan behind him, and explained: "Yin Tai, Ming...Miss Shen is really the king's friend, I guarantee it with my life!"

Yin Tai's face was grim, "Even if she is the king's friend, I would still be offended!"

Shen Yan stared at Yin Tai and said, "Are you so nervous because your king hasn't woken up yet?"

When Yin Tai heard this, his eyes instantly turned murderous. Just as he was about to gather his ghost power and attack Shen Yan -

Suddenly there was a noise coming from the bamboo house.

With a creak, the door opened.

Several people present immediately looked up and saw a slender red figure appearing outside the door. The woman had a pale face and her black hair was scattered, adding a bit of messy beauty.

"king!"

"Why are you up?!"

Yin Tai and Chu Ying were shocked, and they quickly rushed towards the direction of the Red Spirit King.

Hong Ling raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Shen Yan. The corners of her pale lips curled up slightly, "You came to the underworld specifically to find me, your sister?"

She recognized Shen Yan, but not completely.

The Red Spirit King raised her eyebrows, and there was a smile in her voice, "Why are you wearing a mask? I haven't seen you for a long time. Come here and let me hug you."

After Yin Tai and Chu Ying heard what their king said, they looked at each other in surprise. Is this purple-clothed girl really the king's friend? !

Qi Yan immediately knelt down and saluted respectfully towards King Hong Ling.

"I am late, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

King Hong Ling smiled and asked, "What is your crime?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly started coughing violently. With each cough, her already pale face became even paler, like a flower about to wither.

Shen Yan walked quickly towards Hong Ling.

Before Hong Ling could react, she was hugged by Shen Yan.

This sudden hug startled Hong Ling, because the Xiao Yan'er in her memory was not such a passionate and unrestrained person.

She was about to say something when she heard Shen Yan's voice.

"Honghong."

When Hong Ling heard this, her whole body stiffened. She looked a little dazed and said with a trembling voice, "Call me again."

"Honghong, I'm back."

These words were like a huge rock hitting the lake of her heart, causing thousands of waves, and her eyes instantly became moist.

She raised her hands and hugged Shen Yan tightly back.

"Ayan."

Her voice was a little choked, "You are finally back."

The three Hades generals present saw their king sobbing like a little girl. Except for Qi Yan who was prepared, the other two showed expressions of disbelief.

It was as if I had seen something incredible!

They had never seen their king show such a vulnerable and attached look!

Who is this purple-dressed girl? !

Hong Ling seemed to have noticed their gazes. She cried and said coldly, "Get away from me."

"Yes, King!"

Qi Yan and the other two quickly agreed and left.

Hong Ling pulled Shen Yan into the bamboo house.

Then she took off Shen Yan's mask, and Shen Yan did not stop her.

Hong Ling stroked Shen Yan's cheek with trembling hands, smiled with tearful eyes and said, "It's not the same face as before, but it's still beautiful."

Before Shen Yan could speak, she said with a hint of resentment: "Why did you leave the underworld in the first place? And why did you die?"

Shen Yan was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then explained: "Honghong, I haven't remembered all my memories yet."

Hong Ling was stunned when she heard this.

"Are you reincarnated?"

"It is."

"I thought you wouldn't come back." Hong Ling stared at her with red eyes. She remembered something and her eyes dimmed a little. "When Master knew that you had died suddenly, he left the underworld to avenge you. Master has been gone for more than 30,000 years."

Shen Yan asked: "Where did she go?"

"I don't know either. Master didn't tell me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Ling started coughing violently again.

Shen Yan quickly grabbed Hong Ling's wrist and took her pulse.

Her expression became shocked and she looked at Hong Ling in disbelief.

Seeing her like this, Hong Ling smiled weakly and said, "I was in seclusion during this period in order to break through my cultivation and prolong my life. I didn't expect that when I was advancing, the damn Second King would sneak attack me, causing me to suffer a serious backlash. I didn't have much time left in the first place, and now, is it almost the end?"

"Ayan, I used to think my life was too long, but now that I've met you, I think my life is too short..."

She leaned weakly in Shen Yan's arms, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes, blurring her vision, but she still raised the corners of her lips.

Her voice was very soft. "But I am very glad that I met you again, Ah Yan, when my life is almost coming to an end."
