Chapter 44

"No. I'm not doing that." Chun Ha says quickly, sheathing his dao onto his hip. "Your practically going against Heaven, do you not understand?" Chang Bo asked with concern in his brown. Hsien Lian sighed, pinching his nose slightly before looking back ujp at them. "It's not going against Heaven when we're fighting a demon. It also doesn't go against Heaven when the god of such told me to be here." Hsien Lian stated for the millionth time.

Chun He still seemed slightly hesitant, scanning the ground as if an answer would appear there. When it obviously didn't, he looked back at, kindness on his face. "Will go with you," He then looked at Chang Bo. "Right, Sunny?" Chang Bo, placed ihn a corner, sighed, looking over at Hsien Lian. "Yes, yes. We will go with you." He sighed. Hsien Lian smiled, then turned to XingYing who looked.. Weirded out. "Gods.. that know me… want to help-"

"We're not helping you." Chun He stated with a huff, defensively crossing his arms. "We're just…. Helping our friend." Hsien Lian grinned at the statement. They were friends. "It's okay, let's all play nice. Hm?" Hsien Lian said, mostly to the two gods. "Fine, fine. We'll play nice. What exactly do you want us to do?" Chun He asked, standing on the tip toes of his white and pink hanfu shoes.

XingYing handed them the small note. "You hust have seen the village over by the hillside, did you not?" XingYing asked, placing both hands behind his back. Chun He scanned the note before looking up at XingYing. "A village by the hillside?" Chun He then turned to where the direction of the village was. "No. There is no village for hundreds of kilometers. It is way too harsh." Chang Bo stated. Hsien Lian looked around the small area they were in. Mountain tops close by, the four beings somewhat on a cliff already. "We're in Anhui, what would you expect?" Chun He stated afterwards.

Hsien Lian's eyes widened, the god leaning forwards slightly. "Anhui… how did we get to Anhui?" Hsein Lian asked, turning to XingYing, who shrugged. "I thought we were in Jiangxi." XingYing mumbled. Chang Bo lightly shook his head. "No, your in Anhui. Er… where are you t wo normally stationed?" Chang Bo asked. "Hubei." Hsien Lian answered, crossing his arms. "So you can from the south." Chang Bo mumbled.

"I'm sorry, I'm confused. What does it mean 'Hod did they all die?'" Chun He asks, handing it to Chang Bo, who reads it. "We believe a demon is playing some game. I don't think they are actually killing people, but instead showing us villages that are already dead. Showing their bones in very lifelike positions, and making us guess how the village died. I don't know if they will do it again, or if-"

"She likes riddles." Chang Bo states, looking up at Hsien Lian, who looked back. "She?" Hsien Lian asked. XingYing steps up slightly. "You know her?" XingYing asks, tilting his head to the side lightly. Chang Bo nods his head brightly. "Yes. She used to play riddles with humans. Beautiful girl, very provocative, I must say. She would play games with men, if they won they could have a way with her body. But if they lost, she could have her way with theirs." Chang Bo stated.

"My Noble God took care of her quite a long time ago, pushed her off Realm's Edge. I am shocked to see she has returned." Chang Bo hands the note back to XingYing, who takes it. "Do you have a name? I might know her." XingYing states, though Chang Bo lightly shook his head. "I don't think you would. You're the King Of The Ghost Realm, but by the time you were sent there, she was already in the Human Realm."

:"She's old?" Chun asked.

Chang Bo shortly nodded. "Very, and I believe she might be skillful now as well. Must be more tactical." Chang Bo states rather intuitively, placing his arms behind his back. Hsien Lian taps his finger nail. "Did she do stuff like this? Create entire villages to show a certain fatal experience, and makes people guess?" XingYing asks. Chang Bo steps up to the god, tapping the papyrus paper lightly. "That's how she gives her riddles. I guess she must have found it boring to play with humans. Now she plays with gods." Chang Bo lightly steps back, XingYing looking down at the paper. "Will you help us find her?" Hsien Lian asked hopefully. Chun He smiles. Chang Bo, however, seemed a bit hesitant. "She likes attention, I don't think it's a good idea to give it to her." Chang Bo mumbles, but Chen He tugged on the god's yellow sleeve. "But we must help. This is a godly affair, I think we are morally obligated to help."

Chang Bo clicked his tongue slightly, unsheathing his dao and placing the blade in his right hand, the handle in his left. He bows to his waist, his head tipping to the ground. "I shall complement you on your journey to find the demoness." Chang Bo said, waiting a moment before liting his head. He then sheathes his dao, looking at Hsien Lian, before his eyes flicker to XingYIng. "I hope I'll be help." He sounded much like a Noble God, even though the three gods wer all on the same ranking. Hsien Lian smiled. "Just you being there will be help." Hsien Lian stated with a bright smile. XingYing sighs, grabbing his hand. "We still need to know where to go." XingYing pointed out.

As he held Hsien Lian's hand, a purple and white petal fell from the air. There was no flowers near them, but XingYing and Hsien Lian both instantly knew what it was. He also knew where to go.
