"Stop!" Yang Xiying and Komeiji Ren were immediately stopped by two people, one dressed entirely in blue and the other entirely in red with a single horn.

—This is what is called a ghost.

"Humans? How did they get underground?"

As Komeiji Ren said, no one can see her, so the two ghosts' attention was focused on Yang Xiying, and they looked puzzled.

"Greetings, my name is Yang Xiying. I have come to visit the demon territory at the invitation of the Demon King, Ibuki Suika. I hope you will allow me to pass."

Yang Xiying directly explained her purpose.

"Demon Queen Ibuki Suika...?" The two demons were a little confused when they heard this, but they quickly realized something. "It seems like there is such a thing..."

……

"I have a human friend coming to visit today, but you can even have a strength contest with him without any problem."

……

"However, to be chosen and invited by the Ghost King, you must have some ability. This place does not recognize the weak."

The two ghosts suddenly revealed sinister smiles. They had to obey the Ghost King's orders, and it was somewhat strange that they were so short and had been chosen by the Ghost King.

"So we're going to have a fight, is that it?" Yang Xiying understood what the other side meant, and the two ghosts spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"That's right, you can pass if you defeat one of us."

“Okay, when do we start?” Yang Xiying nodded and then asked, while the green ghost on the other side pointed to the open space around them.

"We can go now."

Finally, the two arrived at an open space. The Green Demon stood in front of Yang Xiying and beckoned to her, "You can make the first move... Pfft!"

Before Qing Gui could finish speaking, Yang Xiying suddenly appeared in front of him and struck him with a palm, sending him flying backward!

boom--! ! !

Finally, the green ghost got stuck in the rock wall while the red ghost was dumbfounded, but Yang Xiying pulled it out.

"How is it? Can we go now? Or should I let you hit me too?" Yang Xiying asked, which made Qing Gui wave his hand, "Go ahead, go ahead."

"...Since you have this power, we understand why the Ghost King chose you."

“Okay,” Yang Xiying said as she entered the city, followed by Komeiji Ren. Once inside, she was greeted by bustling streets.

People came and went, and there was no sense of coming from the ground to the underworld. Even Yang Xiying, who had heard of it, was somewhat surprised.

"Humanity?"

"Aieeee, why are humans?!"

Like Yang Xiying, some other people also showed surprised expressions. They were all residents living in this area, and they were astonished to see Yang Xiying.

—Because there can be no humans in the underground world.

"Shut up, all of you. This human is my friend. You are not allowed to beat him up in the street."

While many were surprised, a sound suddenly came from the air, which calmed down those who were agitated by the presence of humans.

After all, the voice belonged to the Demon King, and it was the Demon King Ibuki Suika that Yang Xiying was familiar with, which gave him a clear target.

—After all, he could sense the source of the sound!

Yang Xiying used Moonwalk to fly past like a shooting star, catching everyone around her, including Komeiji Komeiji, off guard.

"So fast! Wait for Renren!" From the very beginning, Komeiji Ren had planned to keep up, and she had no intention of being left behind!

—She flew over too.

"Wow, you're really something, flying right over here."

"Ha, Suika, your friend really doesn't follow the rules."

Finally, Yang Xiying arrived at the rooftop balcony of a restaurant, where there was a table with food on it, and two people were sitting around it.

One was Ibuki Suika, whom Yang Xiying knew, and the other was an older sister with long, golden hair.

Hmm, big sister, wearing an off-shoulder kimono that revealed her cleavage, almost made Yang Xiying unable to look away.

A red horn protruded from the center of her forehead, and her beautiful face displayed an expression of great interest as she looked at Yang Xiying.

"Sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people," Yang Xiying said, not wanting to be watched all the time.

"—And to be honest, it was you, Watermelon, who invited me here."

As she spoke, Yang Xiying changed the subject and looked at Ibuki Suika. This girl was also wearing a kimono today, which gave her a sense of novelty.

"Then you should be the one leading the way. If you were really busy, I wouldn't say anything, but now you're even drinking."

"Aren't you afraid I'll get into a conflict with the people here?"

“Haha, if there were only ghosts on the streets right now, I wouldn’t mind if you went and mingled with them,” Suika Ibuki chuckled.

This city is made up of demons and other monsters, so as a leader, you can't just think about demons, even if you are a demon yourself.

"Wow, you're really planning to ambush me with 800 axemen?" Yang Xiying exclaimed in surprise, while Ibuki Suika responded directly.

"After all, this is the only way I can think of to get you accepted by the underground people quickly. Here, you can't get anywhere just by relying on my connections."

"—And aren't you also eager to demonstrate your power?"

PS: Second update.

How did NO.189+190 turn into a martial arts contest to find a husband?

"After all, you've been rampaging from the ground up to the outskirts of town."

Ibuki Suika thought that Yang Xiying would not resist fighting, after all, she had said that she was willing to force her way in, and the other side had done so.

"..." Yang Xiying's expression was subtle, as if she was also secretly observing. At this moment, the blonde unicorn sister took over the conversation.

"As the leader here, she has some senses. Suika noticed the familiar aura rushing around in the distance."

"...Hey, you've made quite a stir, after all, even that girl was attracted to you."

As she spoke, she gave a soft hum and turned her gaze to the side, which made Yang Xiying look in the same direction.

"Are you talking about Renren? Whoosh!"

Komeiji Komeiji flew over here, landing on the ground like a leaf, and then looked at Yang Xiying.

"Mr. Human, do you want to play hide-and-seek with Lianlian? You're not hiding well enough."

"..." He did want to hide so Komeiji Ren wouldn't find him, after all, that girl had said some terrible things before.

If I can't pull off anything, the other side will capture me and turn me into a pet... Wait, what?! The Komeiji family's pet?!

Shisheren coughs...

"No, the fact that you were able to find me is because you're really good, so I lost. Now you can hide and I'll come find you."

"No way! No matter where Lianlian hides, she can't escape the notice of the Ghost King who can find her just by her voice."

Lianlian refused without hesitation.

"And Mr. Human, you're trying to use this to get rid of Lianlian, right? Impossible! Lianlian still wants to see Mr. Human transform into a giant dragon."

“…Tsk,” Yang Xiying curled his lip in displeasure. That’s why he disliked girls with such keen intuition.

"A dragon? Suika's friend, can you really do something like that?"

Upon hearing Komeiji Komeiji's words, Hoshiguma Yuugi couldn't help but speak up—as a demon king, he was still aware of the girl's existence.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't introduce myself for a moment. My name is Yang Xiying, and turning into a dragon is just one of my skills."

Yang Xiying then realized she hadn't greeted the blonde unicorn over there. After introducing herself, she answered the questions.

"It's alright, it's alright. Ghosts aren't the kind of guys who care about such trivial details. As long as you can show your skills, shall we drink?"

The older sister waved her hand and responded cheerfully, then revealed a meaningful expression as she poured Yang Xiying a bowl of wine.

"...Good wine!"

Yang Xiying downed the bowl of wine in one gulp, making a satisfying sound, which brought a smile to the older sister's face.

"Hahaha, that's great! My name is Hoshiguma Yuugi, and like Suika, I am the Oni King who leads the Oni clan."

"Hmm, Sister Gui," Yang Xiying nodded, unconsciously uttering a subtle remark, but the other party didn't seem to care much.

"Anyway, you heard what Suika said just now, right? If you want to be recognized here quickly, you need to show your strength."

Yuugi Hoshiguma continued speaking.

"We're having a tournament here, why don't you give it a try? There's a reward for winning!" To motivate people to participate, there are rewards, of course.

"A reward?" Yang Xiying, who had been influenced by the abstract culture of the internet, subconsciously glanced at the opposite Northern Hemisphere upon hearing the word "reward".

“To be honest, I also smelled the scent of what I was looking for here,” he said, but he quickly became righteous and indignant.

"What you need to find yourself...?" Hoshiguma Yuugi was taken aback when she heard Yang Xiying's words, and she seemed to realize something as well.

"Does it refer to the Heavenly Book?" She had heard Ibuki Suika mention Yang Xiying before; this person was looking for the Heavenly Book.

“Yes,” Yang Xiying nodded.

"I happen to have a few copies of that book here. If you win the arena, you can take not only the reward you deserve, but also this heavenly book."

"Thank you very much. May I ask how I can participate in the arena battle?" Yang Xiying nodded. Now he had no choice but to participate in the fight.

"Just find the demon next to the arena below to register," Ibuki Suika said at this moment, and Yang Xiying nodded.

"Okay, then I'm going down," Yang Xiying jumped off the balcony. Before that, he had received encouragement from Komeiji Komeiji.

"Go, Mr. Human!"

This time, the monster with its eyes closed didn't go along, because even if you want to catch a pet, you need to understand the strength of the opponent first.

"...You want to sign up for the arena tournament?"

The monstrous-looking demon, resembling Yujiro, stared at Yang Xiying with a strange expression. "This guy must have jumped down from the big sisters' stands," Yang Xiying thought.

"That's right. Yuugo and Suika said there are rewards for participating in the tournament and winning, so I came to try my luck."

Yang Xiying nodded.

"How dare you call the big sisters by their names?!" Ghost was furious when he heard Yang Xiying mention Yongyi Cuixiang's name!

"And you're human, aren't you?! A human dares to challenge us to a contest of strength?!"

"That's right! We're not responsible for injuries," in the eyes of the demons today, humans are all weak beings.

"Seriously, how could humans exist in the Old Hell?!"

"Wait a minute, didn't the boss just mention human friends...?"

“That’s right, this human is my friend,” a group of people murmured, but quickly quieted down after a voice came from the sky.

This drew many people's attention upwards, where they discovered Hoshiguma Yuugi and Ibuki Suika leaning against the balcony, the latter speaking slowly.

"So if he wants to participate in the competition, let him participate. Maybe something interesting will happen."

"Well, since Sister Suika has said so..."

Although Ibuki Suika is cute, she still holds considerable authority among the oni, and the group of people have put aside their doubts.

"Okay, I'll let you sign up. The rule is to defend your title. The more consecutive wins you have, the more rewards you'll receive. The details are all written on the form."

“Like Lord Yuugi’s special sake, Ibaraki… the oni king’s finest medicinal wine that he wishes to remain anonymous, Suika’s endless supply of sake, and the treasures that our oni clan has hoarded.”

"In addition, ten victories will allow you to fight the Ghost King, and the rewards will be even more generous, but we don't know the specifics."

"Because winning ten consecutive matches is exhausting, and being able to withstand even a few moves against the Demon King is already considered impressive, and you, a human, are so thin and frail..."

“…Come on.”

The ghost in charge of registering the contestants directly registered Yang Xiying's identity information and then explained a long list of competition rules to her.

—At the same time, there's also a feeling that I don't have a high opinion of Yang Xiying.

“I understand, then I’ll go up and defend the arena,” Yang Xiying nodded, and then walked onto the spacious arena amidst the stunned expressions of the crowd.

—This arena is about the size of a football field…

"Huh? He's the first one to go on stage? This human is surprisingly brave!"
