NOVPUBChapter 1351: Senior 638_1 Chapter 1351: Senior 638_1 Rain unceasing in Qingming season, the journey fills one’s heart with sorrow.
No travelers in sight through the thick woodland, only the faint drizzle endures.
Aubree Groove, clad in her fitted nightwear, her slender tall figure almost blending with the dark rain curtain.
She dashes through the mountains, her calm eyes seemingly piercing through the night, barely bothered by the darkness.
“We’ve arrived.”
Aubree Groove looks up at the sky, dark clouds circling overhead, seemingly brewing a greater storm.
The wind grows wilder, accompanied by a ghastly, haunting moan, like the desperate wailing of an evil spirit.
Unfazed by the storm, she sits cross-legged on the ground.
...
Her right hand flickers a bit – in the thick black night, golden prayer beads resonate a solemn hum.
With a spirited momentum, it cleaves through the boundless darkness, its reverberation travels through the entirety of the valley as if it’s the divine hymn cleansing the soul, causing all lesser evil spirits to retreat.
The rain grows heavier, there’s something tearing, howling in the wind…
A loud rumble of thunder rolled over from the sky, shaking the mountains to their core. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Suddenly, countless startled birds fled into the distance amidst the dark night.
The Gates of Hell quietly open in the darkness.
Her soul plunges into the infinite abyss, as if there’s no end, no wind, no rain, blurred senses, a distorted sense of time.
As if by an indomitable curse, her fall into this infinite abyss seems eternal.
Despite years of practice, she couldn’t resist the fear seeping into her pores.
When her eyes flutter open again, she finds herself staring at a terrified Mandy Hill.
“How did you get in?”
Any living soul who enters this place can never escape, even with her mastery and magical defenses she can’t be completely safe.
Ignoring the lingering evil spirits around her, Aubree Groove calmly says, “Let’s go.”
She’s like a magnet for all malevolent beings as soon as she appeared.
Countless evil spirits flocked towards her, baring their teeth and claws, desiring to consume her.
However, an invisible barrier surrounds her.
Those evil spirits approaching her were instantly scorched and retreated in fear, terror apparent in their hollow eyes.
Mandy Hill thought to herself, these evil spirits know no fear, do they think they stand a chance against the Buddhist Woman?
“Follow me,” Mandy Hill turned and led Aubree Groove towards the bridge.
Skeletal hands rose from the river, but before they could reach Aubree’s trouser leg, they were scorched and returned to the water with a screech.
In the tumultuous river, countless souls were struggling.
In the never-ending agony, they couldn’t see any semblance of hope.
Aubree Groove stopped in her tracks, she quietly looked at the sight.
She stood on the bridge, high above everything, yet her eyes were filled with profound compassion.
Watching this, Mandy Hill heaved a sigh, “There’s nothing to do.
The number of floating souls is increasing daily.
Some of them were evil in their past lives, others are trapped by obsessions.
They’ve long forgotten the way to reincarnation and are trapped here forever.”
Even if the Bodhisattva were here, they couldn’t save these floating souls.
Aubree Groove, still concerned about the task at hand, turned and descended the bridge.
She hadn’t traveled far when she spotted a patrolling ox-headed and horse-faced creature, wearing a distinct white flower on his chest.
Mandy Hill was terrified, quickly pulling Aubree Groove aside, “We’re toast if they notice us.
If they find out you’re from the Earthly World, they definitely won’t let you go.”
Throughout history, every mortal who made it to Avīci was extremely powerful.
If the Lord Hades knew of Aubree Groove’s ability, he likely wouldn’t let her go easily.
Aubree Groove furrowed her brows, “Is there a wedding here?”
“I forgot to tell you.
Tonight happens to be the grand wedding of Little King.
If the bride is your Senior, we must be quick.
After the wedding ceremony, once your Senior’s name is carved onto the Three Life Stone, it will be too late.”
The Three Life Stone was AvÄ«ci’s equivalent of a marriage certificate.
Once the identity is stamped, one could never return to the Earthly World.
Aubree Groove waited for the patrolling ghost officer to leave, then swiftly headed towards Titi Groove – Hades’ Palace.
Mandy Hill hurriedly stopped her, “You can’t blend in with that outfit.”
——
The Avīci palace brimmed with opulence and extravagance.
Servants bustled about, the guests exchanging courteous greetings and chatted.
Everyone was speculating about the heavenly creature who tamed the notorious Little Prince, she was nothing short of a warrior.
But the Underworld is still the Underworld.
The wedding pavilion was set up like a memorial hall, everyone adorned with large white flowers.
Under the somber light, unwitting guests might mistake it for a funeral.
“All the guests tonight are of importance.
Be cautious when serving them…”
A group of serving girls obediently listened to the instructions.
“Auntie, it’s terrible!
The bride refuses to change her outfit and even destroyed the headpiece, what should we do!?”
A young serving girl in a panic.
The woman called “Auntie” frowns, “What’s the fuss about?
Didn’t we prepare a backup outfit?
The least bit of trouble throws you into chaos, where did you put all my teachings?”
The woman scolded harshly, leaving the serving girl to cower with her head down.
“Forget it.” The woman pointed at two girls in the crowd, “You two, follow me.
The rest of you, focus on your tasks.”
The appointed serving girls started moving, they suddenly felt a tingle on their backs, they were rooted to their spot.
A tall serving girl with her eyes cast low walked out of the crowd and followed behind the woman.
The woman who had just turned and left didn’t notice it.
She had more critical issues at hand.
The Little Prince mysteriously found a woman whom he cherished like his heart, but this woman had a temper harder than a rock in a cesspool, foul and hard.
Despite the Little Prince’s affection, she didn’t express any gratitude, instead, she was rebelliously defiant.
No matter what, the Little Prince’s wedding cannot be ruined.
If this woman doesn’t comply, she will have to.
She pushed open the room’s door, a flower vase flew at her.
If she hadn’t dodged in time, it would have hit her head.
“Go away, all of you!
I’d sooner die than marry a tyrant.”
The woman roared with such rage that it almost shook the roof.
The trailing girl staggered slightly as she heard the sound.
The sight angered the woman to the core, she gestured to her subordinates, “We are tying her down and taking her to the ceremony.”
The young girl gritted her teeth, her defiant voice echoed around the room, “If you push me any further, I’ll die in front of you.”
She held the sharp porcelain fragment near her neck, in her crimson eyes flashed a reckless madness.
There were steps drawing nearer, very lightly.
She closed her eyes in despair, positioned the sharp fragment towards her fragile neck…
“Senior…”
