Remus was speechless.He realized that this response wasn't part of his plan, otherwise he wouldn't have uttered such awkward words… However, as a powerful person on the cusp of reaching the Monarch of Mortals Stage, and the embodiment of the faith of Darsia's 140 million citizens, he absolutely could not admit to any misunderstanding.He looked at the woman again, stubbornly asking, "If you two are just living together as partners, then why did you nod when I first asked if you were being forced?"The woman was terrified and started to cry profusely. She then replied, "I'm scared. You suddenly burst in and attacked my man, and your skills are beyond comprehension. I don't know what you intend to do. I had to say whatever I thought would be most advantageous for myself."Remus was speechless.He was completely at a loss for words this time and didn't know what to say.Seeing the two pairs of wide-open eyes ahead, he quietly turned his head away. Not knowing what to say, he decide

For a while, the cave was filled with the sound of her sobbing.Remus remained silent. It was often said that there was no remedy for regret in this world, whether in everyday life or even in the Underworld.Upon reflection, the Underworld was even more absolute than the mortal world. While the mortal world may offer opportunities for redemption or change, once someone left the Underworld court, everything about them became fixed and could not be altered.It was like she could never receive money, never wear clothes, and could never change."Alright."The man spoke with irritation, but his tone lacked the sarcasm and indifference it previously held. There was even a hint of concern as he said, "Why didn't you think of this before? Does crying help now? It's better to hope for a quick reincarnation. If you want to talk about tragedy, there are plenty of souls in this mass grave who have it worse than you."The woman who was next to us endured insults during her life and couldn't t

Outside was just as usual.Those lightning-like flashes of light only lasted for a few seconds, and then it was just prolonged darkness.Remus first turned his head to look at the scattered "dwellings" in the graveyard. He felt sadness, but then a strange sense of peace emerged, almost like a numbness that comes after emotions have peaked."This is the bizarre and fascinating real world."He reflected quietly to himself.He then looked ahead at the road that stretched out like a line. There was no sign of guards anywhere, and judging by the time, they should have already reached the town ahead.If they had a way to contact the city guards, they should have already met up.At present, there were no fluctuations."The first option is to set up an ambush on the road. Secondly, they didn't inform the town guards and instead pursued me personally."Remus paused for a moment and realized that the second possibility seemed more likely. The reason was straightforward–when they previou

At the same time, at the city entrance.The city gates were wide open, and ghostly guards stood on either side. Their presence was more symbolic than practical, as this was part of the southern city territory and didn't require the same level of scrutiny as entering the Underworld City.The reason for standing here was because there was still a "class" distinction between the people living in "Endless City" and those in the inner city. It served to prevent people from Endless City from causing disturbances in the inner city and also to stop anyone in the inner city from causing trouble and escaping.Of course, this kind of thing had almost never happened.At this moment, in addition to the nether sentinels, there were now three more guards.One of them was the leading guard who had just appeared in Ballor City."Captain Lencal, is it possible that they weren't telling the truth?"One of the guards walked over to the head guard and spoke to him quietly.He was looking in the dir

The other side.Remus was hiding in an abandoned cave, perhaps influenced by the innocence of the young girl, or maybe feeling a sense of fulfillment after helping her.He felt happy from the inside out.As for why it was able to attract the fish, it was quite simple– he used subtle aura to draw them in. To put it bluntly, it was like throwing a faint scent of blood into a cage full of predators.People from the Underworld were capable of doing it as well. However, the subtle "bloodiness" they'd just invested might already surpass all that they used to maintain their soul and body."It seems the guards aren't foolish. The fact that they are stationed by the river means they are certain I haven't entered the city yet. After what just happened, the guards will likely be even more vigilant, making it even harder to get in."Thinking about this, Remus was feeling a bit downhearted.The Underworld Court was just ahead, and going there held the hope of finding Candace. However, there
