The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

The ghost bride remained silent.

She simply shook the round fan in her hand lightly.

Just like that.

But Gu Xu noticed that there was an extremely subtle but definitely not an illusion of killing intent in the air.

That murderous intent wasn't directed at him.

I came here because of someone in that hot spring.

Fortunately, this awkward situation did not last long.

Because the woman in the hot spring ahead seemed to have also noticed the visitors.

The singing stopped.

The surface of the hot spring water rippled slightly.

Then the woman laughed: "Oh...we have a guest."

The sound was very soft.

It's so faint that you absolutely wouldn't hear it from that far away under normal circumstances.

But the sound seemed to bypass the air and reach everyone's ears directly.

No, it's not just everyone.

It is every "existence".

Gu Xu heard it.

The five servants of calamity heard it.

Even the thousands of monsters who had been incorporated into the wedding procession heard it.

All the monsters stopped in their tracks the moment they heard the sound.

It wasn't ordered to stop; it was scared to stop.

Gu Xu noticed that the Yellow Spring Warriors and Masked Ghosts in the wedding procession were undergoing a very subtle change—they were shrinking back.

Thousands of bloodthirsty and ferocious monsters began to shrink back involuntarily after hearing the woman's voice in the hot spring.

"interesting?"

Gu Xu's expression changed slightly.

Then the woman turned her head away.

To be honest, Gu Xu had already mentally prepared himself before she turned around.

What kind of mental preparation should I have?

It's just—a face that turns around so ugly it's suffocating.

This is exactly the kind of movie trope.

A beautiful woman appears on the back, but when you turn around, you see a grotesque, grimacing face.

Gu Xu had seen this kind of plot at least eight hundred times while scrolling through short videos before entering the secret realm.

The first layer above, Ebisu, follows the same pattern.

When the auspicious mask was lifted, underneath was a rotten meat pie made of maggots.

Therefore, Gu Xu was fully prepared mentally.

Turn around and you're an ugly monster?

No problem, Big Eyes will be sent away in one shot.

Turning around reveals a rotten face?

No problem, Tucci can add another layer of poison to make it rot even more thoroughly.

He had even mentally prepared a response plan.

Then, she turned around.

Gu Xu saw that face.

His mind went blank for about 0.3 seconds at that moment.

It's not a blank space created by fear.

It is a blank space that is so beautiful.

She's not ugly.

It's not a bad face.

It's a face that's unbelievably beautiful.

She has an oval face and exquisite features that look as if someone had drawn them stroke by stroke with the finest brush.

Her skin was so fair it was almost transparent, and in the rising steam it had a luster that was almost like jade.

Her slender, almond-shaped eyes were slightly upturned, with a faint hint of red at the corners.

It looks like she was born with eye makeup.

No, it doesn't look like she's wearing eye makeup.

It's more like those eyes themselves are a vessel for some kind of seductive art.

Just being looked at by those eyes.

An ordinary person would probably have their legs go weak on the spot.

Gu Xu believed he had seen many good-looking faces.

Su Qiong exudes an overbearing aura, Jiang Shu is adorable and cute, and Zhang Xinxin is gentle and intellectual...

And his own wife!

Although her full face couldn't be seen through the red veil, the occasional glimpses of her features were already of unparalleled beauty.

Even the ghost mother Bai Ling, whom we saw in the Red and White Encounter Secret Realm of Beichuan, was someone who could make all the streetlights on the street feel ashamed.

But the woman before me—

It's a completely different type of beauty from others.

Like a snow lotus blooming on a cliff.

This woman's beauty was gentle and charming, like a pool of hot spring water bathed in moonlight.

But this wasn't what Gu Xu cared about most.

Because he simply didn't have much time to appreciate beauty.

There are two reasons.

First, his wife was sitting next to him.

Second, and more importantly—

The panel popped up.

The moment the woman turned around and revealed her true face, an enormous attribute panel popped up above her head.

The panel contains a vast amount of information.

Gu Xu's eyes scanned the rows from top to bottom.

Gu Xu raised an eyebrow with each line he read.

By the end, Gu Xu's brows were practically furrowed with worry!

[Secret Realm Boss: Izumo Mysterious Embryo - Land of the Dead - Great God of the Underworld]

[Level: 100 (Pseudo-God)]

[HP: 35,000,000,000/35,000,000,000]

[Status: Complete/Eternal]

[Introduction: The sole deity of the Land of the Dead, the final guardian at the boundary between life and death. Legend has it that she was once the most beautiful goddess on earth, possessing the power to create all things. But after being abandoned to the Land of the Dead by her beloved, her love transformed into the deepest resentment. She devoured all the dead spirits of the Land of the Dead, using billions of souls as nourishment to forge herself into the embodiment of the Land of the Dead.]

[Entry 1: Immortality in the Underworld (Conceptual Level): The embodiment of the Underworld; as long as the Kingdom of the Underworld exists, she is immortal. Within the territory of the Kingdom of the Underworld, all damage will be completely repaired within 0.5 seconds. (Note: You can kill me a thousand times, ten thousand times. But you cannot kill the Underworld.)]

[Entry 2: All Deaths Return to One (Conceptual Level): In the Land of the Dead, all deceased beings are part of her power. She can freely devour the power, memories, skills, and talents of the dead. Each soul provides her with a permanent attribute bonus. Killing creatures within her domain does not weaken her—instead, it returns the souls to the Land of the Dead, further enhancing her power. (Note: In my land, death is not the end. Death is offering.)]

[Entry 3: Rain of the Underworld (Concept-level, Active): Summons the rain of the Underworld. The raindrops carry an extremely high concentration of the foul power of the Underworld; any target touched by this rain will have all positive buffs instantly converted into negative effects of equal intensity. This effect cannot be resisted by any means. (Note: It's raining. But you don't know, it's not water.)]

[Entry 4: Embrace of the Underworld (Concept-level, Active): Spreads arms, unleashing the ultimate authority of the Underworld. All living beings within a 1,000-meter radius centered on the caster will be forcibly pulled into the "Corridor of the Underworld." Within the corridor, time stands still, space is sealed, and all means of escape are rendered ineffective. (Note: Don't go. Stay with me. Stay with me forever.)]

[Entry 5: Thousand-Layer Rock (Concept-Level, Passive): The dividing stone between the Underworld and the mortal realm. Her defense and resistance are not calculated numerically, but rather in terms of "concept." Any attack below the concept level, regardless of its numerical damage, will deal zero effective damage to her. Only attacks of the concept level or higher can inflict true damage on her. (Note: The rock blocking the path between the Underworld and the mortal realm is immovable by mortals.)]
