Chapter 648: Chapter 646: Trust Xiaomei, Gain Eternal Life!
Aunt Hua entered the Northwest Royal Mansion and handed the Skull Lock and key to a teenage girl.
She placed the key in a box and threw it into a well in the backyard, leaving without looking back.
The box sank to the bottom of the well, and with the stagnant undercurrent, it drifted… A thousand years later, it arrived here, and was eventually fished out by Sally.
“Where is that Northwest Royal Mansion?” Sally, holding the key, pondered what the key locked.
Seeing the girl’s determined look when she discarded the key, it must be that she didn’t want the Skull Lock to be opened after being used.
Xiaomei was also curious, “Host, do you want to go look for that Skull Lock?”
Sally said, “It’s been over a thousand years, the Northwest Royal Mansion might not even exist anymore.”
Xiaomei: “We can go and have a look anyway, since we don’t have any clues to find Rong Ruo. Why not follow the route of this Skull Key?”
“Alright.” Sally turned into a small mouse and swam upstream along the river shown in the video.
Along the way, she encountered some members of the Ghost Clan. Sally chose the ones who seemed more amiable and asked about the Northwest Royal Mansion, surprisingly, none of them knew.
A month later.
Sally stopped.
In front of her was the eerie and ominous Ghost Vine Forest Sea. She said to Xiaomei, “This feels rather ominous.”
“Following the timeline, once we get through this Ghost Vine Forest Sea and over two more hills, we’ll reach the Northwest Royal Mansion.” Xiaomei showed Sally a very clear map route.
“Hmm.” Sally took out a Sound Transmission Talisman of Rong Ruo from her Space Ring to see if she could locate him.
Although she was following the route out of curiosity for Xiaomei, she hadn’t forgotten her purpose for coming here, always trying to use the Sound Transmission Talisman to find Rong Ruo.
The Sound Transmission Talisman that had always been silent flew quickly into the Ghost Vine Forest Sea this time.
Sally was surprised, “Is Rong Ruo here?”
“Host, follow it.” replied Xiaomei.
“Wait a moment.” Sally took out a Defense Talisman from the System Space and stuck it on herself, just in case.
This talisman was made by Qing Linghuan for her; attacks weaker than his strength couldn’t harm her.
This was specially made by Qing Linghuan for her before she descended to the Lower Realm. The other children also learned from him and gave her a bunch of Defense Talismans… It had to be said that these children, regardless of whether they had Talent or not, were all able to make good talismans after diligent study and practice.
They were more than enough for her and Little Fengning to use. Especially for Little Fengning, who had a huge Money Bag which could hold anything, these children also gave him various talismans with different Talents like they were scraps of paper.
Following Rong Ruo’s Sound Transmission Talisman, Sally came to a hunting trap.
The entire trap was enveloped by a Slaughter Array. The Sound Transmission Talisman stopped in front of the array, unable to enter any further.
Sally retrieved the Sound Transmission Talisman and took out a World Crossing Talisman recently developed by Little Miqi, effortlessly entering the Slaughter Array.
“Host, you see, having many children does bring advantages. Each child’s Talent will eventually repay you.” Xiaomei said to Sally.
Sally nodded, affirming seriously, “Trust Xiaomei, gain immortality!”
“…Hee hee~” Xiaomei giggled playfully, like a lively little girl receiving praise.
Sally suddenly thought of Little Lulu and felt that if Xiaomei transformed into a human, her personality would definitely be like Little Lulu’s.
Without triggering the Slaughter Array, Sally was very pleased with Little Miqi’s World Crossing Talisman, “I absolutely love this Little Angel, and I’ll have to give Frans another child in the future.”
“Frans would be very happy to hear that.” Xiaomei supported Sally having more children and was just afraid she wouldn’t want to.
“Rong Ruo—Rong Ruo—are you here?” Sally called out softly into the trap, then took out a Sound Transmission Talisman.
The Sound Transmission Talisman drilled into the trap.
Sally followed down after it.
She opened the System Map, but its range was only four meters around her, and she couldn’t see anything yet.
The descending trap, like a bottomless pit, kept her falling for a good while before she stopped.
It was not because she had reached the bottom, but there was a stone platform where Sally paused to adjust.
[Xiaomei, can you scan for Rong Ruo yet?]
[Unable to scan. You need to continue downwards. However, Xiaomei has marked the routes where the Host has passed, so if you encounter danger, you can Teleport away immediately.]
[Okay.] Sally continued her descent.
The Sound Transmission Talisman had vanished without a trace, so Sally took out another one, this time leaving a bit of her Divine Sense on the talisman, and quickly followed its trail.
At the bottom of the trap was a pool of black dead water.
The Sound Transmission Talisman continued through the dead water and went further downward.
Sally remembered the seafloor of the Canglan Sea, the darkness beyond the Deep Blue Abyss… Could it be that it was connected not only to the Immortal Realm but also to the Ghost Realm?
[Xiaomei, does the Main System have any data on the Deep Blue Abyss?]
[There is no data on the sea area. You will need to explore on your own, and Xiaomei will record everything.]
[Alright, I am indeed a special Host, truly unique. Not only can I bear children, carry out notification missions, but I’m also moonlighting as an explorer and observer. In the future, you should let the Main System award me more points.]
[Of course, Host, no problem.]
Sally took out a Deep Sea Water Avoidance Talisman that Xiaoqi had made and entered the dead water.
At first, it was pitch dark, but with the System Map, she wasn’t completely blind.
Gradually… passing through the darkness, she arrived at a place that, though still tinged with death, had its potency greatly diminished and contained Spiritual Energy of water.
A tall and straight figure rapidly approached her.
Seeing the familiar, lively silhouette, a smile slowly appeared on Sally’s face. She opened her mouth to scold, “Rong Ruo! What are you doing here?”
Rong Ruo hugged her tightly, overjoyed, “Yanyan, it really is you!”
“Of course, it is me.” Sally patted his back, “Gently, gently… You’re almost choking me to death.”
Rong Ruo’s grip did not relax; instead, it tightened even more.
Sally, resigned, transformed into a little white mouse, finally able to take a breath, “If I died, your Little Xiaoqi would certainly claim justice!”
“Hehe.” Rong Ruo cradled her, his ice-blue eyes filled with deep affection, “This place is the boundary between the Deep Blue Abyss and the Ghost Realm.”
“Hmm, there’s quite a bit of Spiritual Energy here, and there’s a faint hint of the sea as well. I thought it might be related to the bottom of the Canglan Sea.” Sally transformed back into human form and scrutinized him. Only after confirming he was indeed unharmed did she finally take a deep breath of relief.
“How did you get hurt before? Who hurt you?” Sally’s tone was serious, as if she already meant to annihilate whoever was responsible.
Rong Ruo looked at Sally in surprise and slowly broke into a smile, his eyes twinkling like bright stars, “No one. I just fed some of my Essence Blood to Rong Wu’s soul.”
Sally was startled, “What happened to him?”
