Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

Qin Yu raised the Heavenly Principle, ready to fight Peggy, but Zero transformed and blocked Qin Yu's way.

"Wait, Master, she meant no harm..."

Having lost all sense of justice, Qin Yu was unable to effectively retaliate for the time being and could only let the figure crash into him.

Amazingly, Peggy somehow passed through Qin Yu's body.

"Ah~ So this is what living humans are like? How interesting~"

As she spoke, the black and white twin-tailed ghost princess moved back and forth in front of and behind Qin Yu, finding it quite amusing.

"..."

As for Qin Yu, he could only stand there dumbfounded. What was wrong with this guy? He looked like a child who hadn't grown up.

Peggy's penetration didn't cause any real damage to Qin Yu, but this couldn't go on forever; Qin Yu still had things to do.

"stop!"

Qin Yu activated his "Guardian Sword Like a Mountain" technique, and with a thud, Peggy crashed headfirst into Qin Yu's barrier.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Peggy clutched her head and fell to the ground, and the ghosts in her black and white umbrellas came out.

"Your Highness! Are you alright?"

These ghostly allies examined Peggy's injuries, while several glared angrily at Qin Yu, regarding him as an enemy.

"Are these ghost maids...?"

Qin Yu looked at the undead girl called Princess. He didn't know much about the Kingdom of the Dead, but based on the information explored by players in his previous life, there was a ghost princess named Peggy. There was no picture, but he figured it must be her.

The ghost maids picked up their weapons to stop Qin Yu from getting closer, and Peggy stood up with the help of the maids.

"Ouch, that hurts! Couldn't you have said something before activating the defense...?"

Peggy, carrying her black and white umbrella, walked towards Qin Yu with her black and white twin ponytails swaying back and forth. The maid beside her transformed back into a little ghost and returned to her umbrella.

"The way you were going in and out of my body just now, I don't think that talking to you will make you stop."

Qin Yu refuted Peggy's words. This Ghost Princess was very strong, but fortunately she was not hostile. Fighting her might attract the attention of the Undead Lord.

Peggy stared intently at Qin Yu, finding it quite peculiar that a creature possessing a life force could exist.

"Ahem, human, what are you doing in our land of the dead?" Peggy asked, adopting the air of a master.

"Of course, it's to become stronger."

"Get stronger?"

Peggy doesn't really understand the concept of becoming stronger, since that's how she's been since she gained consciousness.

"If you don't have anything else to do, don't bother me while I continue grinding..."

Qin Yu decided to ignore the Ghost Princess and focus on grinding monsters. He was less than 20% away from leveling up, and after two more rounds of grinding, he would be done.

"Hey! Wait!" Peggy chased after Qin Yu when she saw him about to leave. She lay flat and passed through Qin Yu's body, sticking her head out from Qin Yu's abdomen to communicate with him.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. If you need anything, this princess can help you~"

This ghost is really annoying; why does it like to pass through other people's bodies and talk to them?

"Help me? Are you sure?"

"Yes! Of course, this princess keeps her word!"

"Oh~ okay then..."

So Qin Yu asked Peggy to help him find new terrifying skeletons, and then repeated the same operation as before, finally reaping the rewards with a single sword strike, gaining about 10% more experience points.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Peggy saw Qin Yu launch a counterattack while enduring attacks from thousands of terrifying skeletons. She couldn't do that, but the terrifying skeletons couldn't harm Peggy at all unless they used magic.

"That's amazing!" Peggy exclaimed again, weaving in and out of Qin Yu's presence.

"Stop wearing it, stop wearing it..."

Although Peggy's penetration doesn't cause any real damage, it's still very unpleasant. Imagine a ghost constantly using your body as a door to pass through—I come in, I go out again. Who can stand that?

Suddenly, Peggy poked her head out from Qin Yu's chest, a smile on her face.

"Since you're so capable, could you take me out of here?"

Peggy started thinking about escaping from the land of the dead.

"Take you out? Can't you go out by yourself?" Qin Yu felt very confused. With Peggy's strength, she didn't need his help to go to the main world at all.

“Of course not! If it were possible, I wouldn’t need your help!” Peggy huffed and pressed her head against him. “The monarch won’t let me go out at all; I’m stuck here flying around aimlessly.”

Flying around...

Peggy kept repeating the words "flying around," and it seemed that she was indeed driven crazy by this boring life.

"If the Lich King doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do. I can't exactly beat him up, can I?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"That's a load of rubbish."

Qin Yu was speechless. What was this guy thinking? The Undead Monarch was a genuine tenth-order god, several levels stronger than the successors of other kingdoms whose strengths varied greatly.

"Don't you know how powerful the Undead Lord is?"

Faced with Qin Yu's questioning, Peggy simply shook her head blankly; she really had no concept of strength.

"No matter what, I believe you can defeat the monarch, and then he will let me out!"

So, she encouraged me to defeat the Undead Lord just so she could get out? That's way too naive.

"Even if you want me to help you defeat the Undead Lord, let me reach the eighth rank first. Keep helping me find the terrifying skeletons..."

Qin Yu planned to stall for time as long as possible, first allowing his strength to reach the eighth rank, before he would have the power to fight the Undead Lord.

"No problem! Once you reach the eighth rank, we'll go find the monarch!"

Peggy was still thinking about getting Qin Yu to find the Lord of the Dead, and she diligently led Qin Yu to the location of the terrifying skeleton.

After completing the final hunt, Qin Yu's rank finally rose to the eighth level. As the saying goes, "One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand," and now Qin Yu was surrounded by the fragments of those terrifying skeletons.

"Great! It's finally finished. Now come with me to find the monarch!"

After saying that, Peggy pulled Qin Yu to go find the Lord of the Dead. However, Qin Yu was unwilling. What was the point of going to find him? He had no reason to antagonize the Lord of the Dead.

However, Peggy used her umbrella to release her ghostly maid squad, and then carried Qin Yu into the depths of the Netherworld.

Deep within the realm of the dead lies the domain of the Undead Monarch, the throne of bones, a palace of bones. Seated upon this throne is the ruler of the realm of the dead, the Undead Monarch.

No one knows his origins. All that is known is that he has existed in this world of the dead since its birth. Although his body is just bones, the aura he exudes is enough to terrify any living being.

In the distance, Peggy and her ghostly maids were carrying Qin Yu toward the Bone Throne. The Lich King naturally noticed them, but his empty eyes and skeletal frame couldn't reveal his true feelings at that moment...

Chapter 245 The Undead Lord

"Okay! Put it down!"

At Peggy's command, the ghost maids put Qin Yu down from their arms. Although they were ghosts, Qin Yu could still feel the softness of their bodies, but they seemed to still be quite wary of him.

After all, in the eyes of these ghost maids, Qin Yu was the one who killed their undead kind. Only the simple-minded Peggy would not take it seriously and should instead lead the way for Qin Yu.

The ghost maid returned to Peggy's black and white umbrella. This palace of bones, from the ground to the walls and roof, was made of bones, and most people would only find it creepy.

On the bone throne in the palace, the Lich King stared at the two of them expressionlessly, or rather, he was incapable of making any expression at all.

"Peggy, what are you doing bringing this living person here?"

The Undead Lord didn't open his mouth, but spoke to Peggy and Qin Yu using magic, his voice sounding like that of an elderly man.

"My lord, I want to go out. Will you allow it?"

Peggy once again presented her ideas to the Lich King, but his response was exactly the same as before.

"No, as an undead, if you appear in the world of the living, you'll only cause them panic, and you might even be killed by them..."

The Undead Lord tried to persuade Peggy like a father, but Peggy was now a rebellious teenager and couldn't possibly listen.

"If you don't agree, I'll have no choice but to let him take me out!"

Peggy's intentions were also quite clear: she wanted to use Qin Yu as a shield to force the Undead Lord to agree to let her out.

The Undead Monarch shook his head. "Stubborn human, you shouldn't have come here..." As the Undead Monarch slowly stood up, jet-black armor began to appear on his body.

"We shouldn't have killed the souls of the dead here either..."

The Undead Lord was well aware of what had happened in the Land of the Dead, but he was simply too lazy to investigate. However, Qin Yu was about to take Peggy away, and the Undead Lord could not stand idly by.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I'm only doing this to become stronger. I really didn't want to get involved in Peggy's affairs..."

Qin Yu was almost numb. How did he end up in such a mess? Peggy was really pushing him to his death.

"You have violated the peace of the realm of the dead, human. Now, accept the punishment of the dead!"

boom!

Red eyeballs appeared in the empty eyes of the undead lord, and a tattered black cloak covered his armor. He raised his skeletal arm and slowly placed it on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The entire area around the Bone Throne had become a realm of the undead, with countless undead, strengthened by the monarch, bursting forth from the ground and heading towards the palace.

"This is troublesome..."

Qin Yu never expected things to turn out this way, but there was nothing he could do; the fight had to go on, so he reluctantly drew his True Essence.

"come on!"

Peggy cheered Qin Yu on from the sidelines.

Wei, incidentally, also released a group of ghost maids to serve him tea, water, and massages.

"..."

Qin Yu was furious when he saw Peggy watching the show. If it weren't for her, would she have had to fight the Undead Lord? Now look what she's done, watching the show from the sidelines while she's fighting the Undead Lord herself.

The Undead Lord slowly drew the sword from his waist. The black longsword was engraved with inscriptions that glowed with a faint red light. The blade was damaged to varying degrees, and to outsiders it looked like a broken sword.
