At the end of the road, a luxurious palace was situated. White jade for the walls, gold for the tiles, two turquoise-coloured lanterns hanging on the eaves, in the night wind, clattering and swaying. The vermilion palace door was closed, and at the entrance, there were two skeletons standing in front of it! They wear armour, waist with a big sword, see us, nose a burst of sniffing, viciously rushed up, black goo eye sockets, shot out horrifying green light.

　　Little fish drank: "They are the master invited VIP, you still don't go away!" Lifting the lantern and shining it, the turquoise light flourished, and the two skeletons immediately retreated away in fear.

　　The big fish gently knocked on the palace door, the crimson door, suddenly flowed down sticky red liquid, a drop fell on the ground, like blood.

　　"Squeaky ......" two palace doors opened automatically.

　　I was creepy, look at the three beautiful women calm, said, day his grandmother, the old man's guts are still more than women? Bold, stride into the palace.

　　Face to face, is a giant mural.

　　Mural is black and white, the painting has a mountain and water, countless monsters hidden among them, some in the mountainside reveals a hairy thick tail, some probe half a hideous face, some only in the shade of the trees to extend a sharp claw. In the centre of the painting, there was a river circling around the mountain, and in the centre of the river floated a blackened coffin, the lid of which had been opened to reveal a skeleton lying inside. The skeleton was wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe, his hands were folded on his chest, motionless.

　　My eyes were immediately attracted to the mural, with the dismal light from the surrounding area shining on it, the demon in the painting seemed to be dumbfounded and about to be resurrected.

　　"Master, the guests have arrived." The big fish faced the mural and said respectfully. Little Fish lifted a thin-necked bronze ancient bottle on the table, and the mouth of the bottle was surprisingly pointed at the skeleton in the painting and poured it down.

　　The liquid in the bottle was as red as blood and carried a pungent fishy smell. No! That was clearly blood! Shockingly, the skeleton suddenly opened its mouth and drank the bottle of blood.

　　The black and white mural became colourful all of a sudden! The entire mural seemed to glow with life because the skeleton drank the blood!

　　Strong muscles grew out of the skeleton, and in a short while, the skeleton in the painting turned into a rosy-cheeked man, who slowly stood up from the coffin and smiled at us: "Life is like a dream, the red powder turns into white bones in the twinkling of an eye, and youth is just a short while. So indulge in joy, so as not to waste this life."

　　I stared wide-eyed, the guy in the frescoes actually live, will also talk! Listening to the pleasant baritone in my ears, I really doubted that I was dreaming.

　　"I can't imagine that a demon would also know secret Taoist techniques." Gan Lime Zhen calmly said.

　　The man said in a pleasant manner, "This bit of secret dao art of mine is certainly not worth mentioning in the eyes of Fairy Gan of the Bijou Fugue. I've heard that Fairy Gan is the number one beauty of the Clear Void Sky, and it's true that I've had the chance to meet her today."

　　I swooned, this evil guy, actually wooed Gan Lime Zhen as soon as he opened his mouth. Day his grandmother, old man standing beside a beautiful woman, is it a pose?

　　Hai Ji sneered, "Even a toad wants to eat swan meat?"

　　I chimed in, "He's probably never looked in the mirror."

　　Being ridiculed, the man did not get angry and said warmly, "Could it be that you all think I have a repulsive face? It's not hard." Saying this, white smoke emerged from his face, and in a short while, the white smoke dispersed, and he actually turned into a young gentleman with a rich appearance and elegant style.

　　Seeing Gan Lime Zhen's indifferent expression, he waved his hand in a dashing manner, "Still not satisfied?" Silky white smoke rose from his face once again, and this time, he turned into a bronze-complexioned, cold and masculine Xuan Yang man.

　　"Is this appearance still acceptable?" The man's voice was like a bell, and he said majestically.

　　Holy shit! This demon is really demonic! I groggily shouted, "You're so good at changing, why don't you turn into a beautiful woman with your clothes off. I'll sell you to a brothel and earn some silver."

　　Hat Dan Mei "Puffed" and laughed: "I'm afraid you'll steal from me."

　　I shook my head, "I'm only interested in real women, freaks like this, I can't stand them."

　　Hatanmei winked, "The most pleasing thing about our little pervert is that he loves to tell the truth."

　　The man's face remained unchanged, staring at me for half a day, he smiled instead, "Little brother turns out to be a man of nature as well, I have a lot of beautiful women here, if you like it, why don't you stay on the island and enjoy yourself."

　　My heart was chilled, my so harsh words didn't piss him off, it can be seen that this guy is a sinister character. Let me stay on the island? This is not a weasel paying homage to a chicken.

　　Hai Ji impatiently said, "Who the hell are you? What do you want to do by leading us to the island?"

　　The man said softly, "We are destined to meet each other, and we just want to have a good time together. Everyone, why don't you come in and have a chat?" Sprinkles beckoned to us.

　　"Your guests, please come in." Big Fish and Little Fish said in unison.

　　Let's walk inside the mural? Looking at the man in the painting, I felt that everything was so absurd and scary.

　　Gan Lime Zhen pondered slightly and took the first step. Following the three beauties, I walked to the mural, tentatively extended my foot, and with a single stride, my foot went straight through the wall and landed on the soft mud floor inside the mural.

　　I entered the mural, the sound of rushing water ringing beside my ears, the great river rushing down from afar, I looked at my own reflection on the surface of the river, as if in a dream. The world in the mural was so real.

　　"Snap." The man clapped his palms lightly, my eyes darkened, my surroundings suddenly became pitch black, just me and the three beauties, the man miraculously disappeared. A demonic cold wind whistled, the branches of the trees danced as if they were ghosts, I couldn't help but shiver.

　　Hai Ji said disdainfully, "Only playing some unseemly tricks."

　　Rustling strange noises suddenly came from the bushes, the trunks of a sky-high ancient tree slowly swelled, like a pregnant pot-bellied woman with a bulging belly, and it seemed that something inside was about to drill out.

　　"Snapping ......" The tree trunk cracked and drilled out a pale face, these faces are like ghosts, the bones are concave and convex, and blood keeps flowing from the black hole eyes. In an instant, the wind whistled, and the dense branches of the trees turned into countless long hairs, flying fiercely.

　　A face slowly closed in on us, with thick long hair trailing behind it, they laughed maniacally one moment, howled the next, making people feel eerie. The three beauties, however, did not care, Hat Dan Mei ate and laughed, "How dare you come out with such an ugly appearance." A scorpion tail flipped out of her short skirt and swished across, sending a few faces that were close by flying out.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

　　These faces screamed in unison, and their long, ghostly black hair wrapped around them like countless poisonous snakes, wanting to choose someone to devour.

　　"Brush brush brush ......" red light flashed as Hat Dan Mei's scorpion tail lashed in a dazzling burst, smashing these strange faces to pieces. The fragments fell to the ground, moved quickly, and reassembled themselves into a pale face that floated ghostly, receded, and shrank back into a large tree, its long hair changing back into branches.

　　Hat Danmei smiled charmingly, "Don't be afraid little pervert, with us here, he can't play any tricks."

　　There are beautiful women to protect me, I don't have anything to worry about, I winked: "Your skirt is too short, the scorpion tail casts up the spring light underneath the skirt is exposed ah."

　　Hat Dan Mei threw a wink at me, "Anyway, I'm happy to show you. There's no problem wherever you want to look."

　　I was in a soothing mood, my gaze turned, Hai Ji's teeth were clenched itchily and she glared straight at me.

　　"Rumble ......" a huge sound came from the distance, opposite a mountain peak, a huge round black shadow is rolling down from the top of the mountain rapidly, rushing towards us.

　　The black shadow rolled to us in the twinkling of an eye, Hai Ji's palm raised, just about to chop down, the black shadow suddenly stopped, it turned out that it was a huge and incomparable black stone ball, under the stone ball, actually pressed a green-faced fangs little ghost, lying on his back horizontally, his body is so thin that only a piece of skin is left, close to the stone ball. It grinned at us and leapt up, its dry, skinny arms pushing up the stone ball towards the peak of the mountain. The stone ball rumbled and rolled up to the top of the mountain, then a few moments later rumbled and rolled back down the mountain to us, and then was rolled up again by the brat, repeating back and forth and back and forth.

　　I shouted, "Day his grandmother, this little ghost is obviously playing with us."

　　Hai Ji snorted coldly and waited until the stone ball rolled in front of her again, her palm lifted up a dazzling golden light, splitting the little ghost pushing the ball into pieces. The little ghost's limbs were scattered and spilled on the ground, immediately turning into dozens of white bones without a bit of flesh and blood. At this time, another red-faced and fanged little ghost scurried down from the mountain, not even looking at us, pushing up the stone ball and running towards the top of the mountain.

　　Hai Ji's gaze chilled, her palm slashed out, a golden light chased straight after it, swept across dozens of feet and cut the red-faced brat in half.

　　"Holy shit! Here we go again!" I was both angry and amused as another yellow-faced brat ran down the mountain, propelling the stone ball and rolling it bone-crunchingly towards the top of the mountain. Hai Ji didn't hesitate to continue swinging out her chakra palm blade, and just as the yellow-faced brat was cleaved to death, another white-faced brat scurried out.

　　Gan Lime Zhen said indifferently, "Wait and see what happens, don't pay attention to them."

　　"Rumble ......" the stone ball once again rolled in front of us, the white-faced little ghost burrowed out from under the ball and pushed up the stone ball with both arms, just when we thought it was going to push the ball up the mountain again, the little ghost suddenly twisted its head around, smiled eerily at us, and violently struck the stone ball with its claws.

　　"With a loud bang, the stone ball exploded, and countless giant hornets flew out from it, cocking up the sharp poisonous needles on their butts and viciously stabbing at us. I screamed bad, Gan lemon real shout, jade pointing to me point to, a snow lotus abruptly in front of the eyes enlarged, fragrant, snow-white petals layer bloom, will be wrapped into the heart of the flower. Only heard the petals outside the "snorting" sound constantly, do not know how many hornets stung on the snow lotus. After a while, the sound disappeared, and the snow lotus bloomed again, spitting me out again.

　　The ground was full of wasp corpses, the three beauties stood intact, and the snow lotus abruptly became smaller and flew back to Gan Lime Zhen's fingertips. I said with palpitations, "These brats are really vicious, earlier they deliberately pushed the ball back and forth to confuse us, and waited until we were unguarded against them, then they suddenly struck."

　　"A trivial skill for the amusement of the VIPs, where is the mention of poisonous hands?" A man's pleasant voice suddenly sounded in mid-air, I looked up and saw that the blackness above me was so intense that I could only hear the voice, but could not see the person.

　　I yelled: "Bunny son of a bitch, have the balls to come out to call the shots, sneaky hiding what good man?"

　　Hai Ji "Puff" a laugh: "Since it is a rabbit, how can it be a son of a turtle? The little scoundrel is full of rubbish."

　　I shook my head, "Haven't you heard of the word bastard?"

　　The man's voice lazily returned, "The hare is agile, the tortoise is calm, and it is a beautiful thing to be a bastard when you can learn from the strengths of both."

　　I was dumbfounded, it was the first time I had ever heard of someone enjoying being a bastard.

　　"Don't get out yet!" Hai Ji said in a chilling voice, her palm blade slashed into mid-air, dazzling golden light ripped through the black curtain and flashed away. The man's voice disappeared, and after a while, the man's pleasant laughter resumed in the air, "In the end, it's the Chief Female Martial God of the Pulse Meridian Sea Palace, with a hard mouth and a hard hand."

　　Hai Ji's bright gaze swept around and said quietly, "He's not up there." Gan Lime Zhen nodded and lowered her eyebrows, her ears fluttering gently.

　　The man continued, "There is no need for you all to be in a hurry, first enjoy the scenery in this mural of mine, then it's not too late to catch up with me."

　　Words have not finished, red light from the Hat Dan Mei fingertips flashed out, shot to the shadowy bushes, the trees have exploded, after a dense light sound, the man's voice echoed in mid-air, full of flirtation: "Hat Scorpion Demon, your scorpion tail needle is still the same as in the past as the sharp poisonous well. But to find me out, I'm afraid it's not that easy."

　　Hat Dan Mei's gaze flickered, "My Scorpion Tail is even sharper, do you want to taste it?" Lowering his voice, he added, "He's constantly changing his orientation."

　　The man laughed, "I've heard that your nine scorpion tails are lewd and poisonous and can make a man want to die, I really want to try it." Along with the words, from the deep mid-air probed down two fence-sized heads, full of snow-white beast hairs, their tongues abruptly spat out like two rolls of bright red long blankets, licking left and right towards Hat Dan Mei.

　　"Still not coming out?" Gan Lime Zhen gave a low shout, pressing his hand on his sword sheath, a white misty water vapour shot straight up into mid-air, first cutting off the long tongues, then the water vapour made a steep turn and struck straight down, shooting into the river around him.

　　Waves of water splashing, the depths of the river seemed to hear the man muffled grunt, and then said: "A beautiful person invited, how dare I not obey?"
