way to safely break through the Inner City to approach Ghost Groom and suddenly such a perfect opportunity appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Fang Geyu’s personality, how could he just sit idly by?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, this Ghost Marriage Seal did not fall on you, but you used this red thread to transfer it onto yourself?” Baili An said, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan also sensed something amiss and said worriedly, “Why act so recklessly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is the Fierce Ghost Groom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu lifted an eyebrow noncommittally, not bothering to explain further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leaned lazily back in her chair and said with her legs crossed, “Whether you think I’m a naive calf unafraid of tigers or biting off more than I can chew, since this Ghost Groom is the topic of this exam, I, for one, will not shy away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she looked at Baili An, “Just like how you must obtain the Immortal Tears.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that further discussion was pointless, he said, “Do you have any more of this red thread?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu had an ‘as expected’ expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out a new red thread, whose other end was connected to an unknown place, and said, “Hand it over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it’s mortals marrying or ghostly nuptials, it involves two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It never happens that only one party is involved in the marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ghost bride, naturally, there is also a Ghost Groom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Marriage Seal always appears simultaneously on a man and a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tonight, while the Ghost Marriage Seal appeared on Tao Ziyang, the eldest son of the Yun Family five streets away, Yun Shulang, also had a Ghost Seal planted on him at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yun Shulang saw the mark on his body, he was so frightened that he nearly passed away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family was force-feeding him ginseng and pinching his philtrum desperately trying to pull him back from the ghost gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scholar cried, made a fuss, and even attempted to hang himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his desperation, he even took out a kitchen knife wanting to chop off his own arm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu curled her lips in disdain, “His plight was indeed pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve never seen any man cry like a little lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fussing makes him a liability if he were to enter the Inner City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wound the red thread around Baili An’s wrist, paused slightly, then her tone became awkward, “I only think you are more useful than him, which is why I allowed you to enter the city with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least you won’t cry and fuss, and I didn’t investigate which family’s boy received the Ghost Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just happened along this path—do you understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across five streets, yet still ‘happened along’…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she finished winding the thread, a scorching sensation enveloped Baili An’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sinister, chilling Spiritual Flow burned through the other end of the thread, and soon, three blood-red Ghost Marriage Seals appeared on the skin of his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu explained, “This is the Ghost-Decoy Thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can deceive the eyes of Ghost Groom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three days, Ghost Groom’s army of ghost soldiers will come to fetch you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You need to go to the Yun Family ahead of time and prepare, and be sure not to reveal any flaws.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled down the sleeve of Baili An, hiding the red thread, and with a deft touch of her fingertip, she tapped on the red thread lightly, causing it to vanish from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so mysterious that you couldn’t even feel its presence when touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was no wonder she was considered a wealthy heiress in Shifang City, with many treasures at her disposal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An rubbed his wrist where the scalding afterglow of the Ghost Seal lingered, nodded, and said, “Understood, I will enter with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing all this, Fang Geyu tidied her sleeves and glanced at her bed, saying, “The mud monkey took my bed, so I will sleep in your room tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Fang Geyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An was also taken aback, then dutifully nodded, “Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Lin Yuan’s sharp gaze lingered too long, leading Fang Geyu to finally catch the hint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up from the chair subconsciously, her lips twitched, and she flicked Lin Yuan’s forehead, her cheeks slightly hot, “What are you thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse demon doesn’t need to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can stay here and watch over the mud monkey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will rest in her room with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yuan held his head with both hands, showing a somewhat aggrieved expression, “I didn’t say anything…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Geyu crossed her arms and laughed coldly, “Your little looks already told me everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You were thinking of something naughty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An smiled helplessly, noting the weariness in Fang Geyu’s eyes tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the planning and arrangements of the past few days and the chess pieces she had in place within Wangdao Immortal Alliance, it had consumed a lot of her energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three days, a fierce battle would await them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, it’s getting late tonight; Miss Fang Geyu and Sister Lin Yuan should rest early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, in the border city, a mountain wind carrying snow swept through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the snowstorm wafted the ancient scent from behind Ancient Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The candle flame flickered in the wind, and the room felt slightly chilly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An stood to close the window firmly, the little rabbit perched on his head flopped over, apparently succumbing to sleepiness, and rolled off his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, he caught the rabbit, watching its soft body lazily tumble about in his palm, appearing ready to fall asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An found his rabbit to be very strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Wen said that Afu Tu had a massive appetite, consuming humans, ghosts, dragons, and more terrifying than some ancient beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since he had kept this rabbit, it seemed not at all bloody, and if it hadn’t nibbled symbolically on a carrot in front of him, he would have doubted whether it needed to eat at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed a carrot and brought it close to the rabbit’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rabbit in his palm flipped over, sluggishly grabbing onto the carrot with its paws, hugging it like a large column, its pair of dimly red eyes staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at such a pair of eyes, Baili An suddenly remembered a saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things possess spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this rabbit of his, Afu Tu, seemed extraordinarily perceptive, like it understood human speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Baili An felt somewhat uneasy; he suddenly remembered an incident at Lihe Sect and belatedly asked, “Little rabbit, are you a male or female rabbit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to his experience raising a lively and naive little deer, Baili An hadn’t considered gender distinctions in small animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this rabbit was really too different from ordinary small animals; sometimes its gaze seemed almost human, unnervingly so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to when Miss Jiujiu and he—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like even this rabbit saw it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suddenly raised question startled Afu Tu, causing its ears to stand straight up, a look of shock on its face, and the drowsiness in its eyes instantly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It thought to itself—it was just a rabbit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should it answer this fatal question?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it possibly lift its hind legs, part the little rabbit fur, and show him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rabbit’s gaze grew resentful; it hugged the giant carrot tightly, baring two large, white incisors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crunch, crunch, crunch…” It gnawed angrily on the carrot, kicking its legs to indicate its refusal to answer the question.\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.481Z",1,"novelbin.me","e00a1341c277e61702964e6370c21dbe7de9ab8559115d096cca96b487cd2d6f","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-250","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-248",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
