Crown Dead

"It's hard to explain, is it, yes, is it that kind of relationship!"

Ai Lei seemed to have misunderstood something, and looked at Xian Yu in shock.

"No, no, no... it's just a guest, a guest!"

"Oh—eh? Long time no see customer!"

Ai Lei looked down at herself, then looked around, and immediately trotted out of sight of the two.

not long after

"Ahem! Those who don't respect life, the underworld is not the destination you desire—!"

A huge dead skeleton floated over, but this time it didn't hold anything in its hand.

"...If this is the underworld, then I'd better live as much as possible."

Jeanne Alter looked at the skeleton in front of her with black lines on her face.

Chapter 12. Touched

"Lost soul, I can still feel the confusion that exists deep in your heart. Did you come here to find the meaning of existence? Or just want to get a little rest?"

The huge and pale corpse floated in mid-air, with flames burning faintly around the outline.

Because she would be complained about every time she took anything out on the stage, so Ailei simply didn't bring anything, and put on a posture with bare hands and belatedly.

Xingke (Ai Lei) spoke slowly in a low voice, but Hei Zhen, who was facing her as the person involved, did not waver at all. Instead, she had a disgusted expression of "what is this guy doing?"

"There's a deer on top of your head, Lord Death."

"Eh!? Really, really..."

After hearing Hei Zhen's words, Zombie stretched out his hands to touch his head in a panic, but he didn't touch anything.

"Ah, I misread it, it turned out to be your hair."

"That's just a flame lit for the atmosphere! How can it be regarded as hair? If you take a step back, the hair will not be regarded as a deer!"

Ai Lei gave up her disguise and changed back to her original appearance with blond hair and red eyes.

"So this is the original appearance of the gods of the underworld? Ha, it's not an exaggeration to use large skeletons to disguise them. If you want to command the dead in this way, you can only use disguises—hmm!"

Hei Zhen taunted Ai Lei, but the head guard was knocked by the string beside her.

"Our boss' ability to command the underworld is much greater than you imagined."

"No...it's true that I'm not as busy as I used to be recently."

Ai Lei waved her hand with a smile, indicating that Hei Zhen's sarcasm was not unreasonable.I really have less control over the underworld.

"Your appearance as a guardian is really boring."

Hei Zhen glanced at her mouth, then walked away from the two of them on her own, and walked to a corner of the palace where flowers were planted.

"Your friend thinks it's cool."

Ai Lei looked at Hei Zhen's back and said,

"You can't call them friends right now. Compared to those, what happened just now? Why are everyone, including you, the boss, catching animals?"

"Hmm... that's because... there are many reasons."

Ai Lei showed a embarrassed and shy expression and turned around in circles. After struggling for a while, she finally decided to tell Xian Yu.

"Actually, the underworld has basically lost most of its original functions. Many souls sacrificed themselves in the final battle... and the age of myths has ended, and humans have gradually begun to regard death as a way to understand And accept the end. Few new souls will fall here, and I just bring some souls back to the ground in other forms every day."

Hearing Ai Lei's narration, Xian Yu realized at this time that the number of undead in the underworld was indeed much less this time.In the past, no matter where you were, you could see the brigade of skeleton soldiers wandering around, but this time it was almost invisible.Only a few scattered ones are chasing the deer.

"Then... what are these little deer running around?"

Xian Yu dodged his body, a deer swiftly passed by Xian Yu's side, and a skeleton was chasing after it.

"Well, that's because...it feels more deserted recently than before, and I want to raise some small animals to be active."

Ai Lei lowered her head and explained in a low voice with a blushing face.

--So cute.

Xian Yu was taken aback by his boss's actions, and immediately shook his head to get his attention back.

"So now we are actually raising these fawns?"

"Actually... I wanted to help these little deer to cast some warlocks that would not be affected by the underworld, but you also saw it...they were all afraid of me,"

Ai Lei squatted on the ground and circled gloomyly, completely oblivious to the fact that there was a fawn around her all the time rubbing her head against her.

"Boss, don't think so. In fact, there are reasons for animals to escape. Some animals are born with small orders. It's not that they don't understand your kindness. It's just that they are too scared to accept the status quo immediately."

While talking, Xian Yu looked at Hei Zhen, who was squatting by the garden in the distance, thinking about something.

As if sensing Xian Yu's sight, Joan of Arc changed his head and gave Xian Yu a glance, then walked behind a stone pillar, letting it block Xian Yu's vision.

"I always feel like you're talking about someone... But, is that really the case? Are they really just so scared because they haven't adapted to the environment yet!"

Ai Lei raised her head, staring at Xian Yu with flickering eyes.

"Don't worry, don't worry, actually, I think... no matter what kind of creature it is, except me of course. No matter what kind of creature it is, if it wakes up and finds that it's suddenly going to hell, it will be frightened and confused, right?"
