Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 316: After Dressing as a Man, the Bunny Spirit Ran Away Pregnant 26

The Demon World wanted to create puppets in the Human World, using living people for sacrifices, which first required a group of wealthy individuals.

Especially those foolish and rich types were targeted by the Demon World.

Under the pretense of spreading their religion, the Demon World got many wealthy officials and merchants who desired immortality to join and invest money to attract more ordinary people to volunteer for this church.

In Su Zhiruan’s view, the core purpose of this church seemed more like a pyramid scheme.

If they were to put on a show, then they needed to do it thoroughly.

That afternoon, Su Zhiruan and Changqi, to demonstrate their yearning for immortality, boarded the horse-drawn carriage to the Abandoned City mentioned in the invitation.

Before they left, the coachman hesitated, wanting to speak yet stopping himself.

"Li Bo, is there something you want to say?" Su Zhiruan noticed his odd behavior and casually asked.

Li Bo sighed deeply, "Young master, Young Madam, you two don’t know, this Abandoned City is no simple place, it’s filled with all kinds of people, and even many demons and devils, do you really want to go?"

"Do you know something?" Su Zhiruan astutely saw the anguish in his expression, realizing the situation was not so straightforward.

Li Bo seemed to have made some sort of decision and suddenly looked up at Su Zhiruan and Changqi, "Young master, Young Madam, if you don’t mind my rambling, then I shall speak."

Seeing that the two masters nodded, Li Bo began to narrate what he knew.

"A few years ago, the Abandoned City was just a small place, inhabited only by the local simple folk, and at other times, hardly anyone visited, but later on, no one ever saw anyone come out from there again, even the Lord Prefect sent people to check it out, but all who went there did not return," Li Bo drove the carriage while continuing, "Later, someone luckily made it out and reported that the city was empty during the day! It was a ghost town, but at night, everyone would appear, and demons, devils, and ghosts roamed freely. The Lord Prefect reported to the emperor, but the emperor, fearing it would affect the nation’s fortune, decided to abandon the city, and that’s how the city got its name."

"Did the sects not intervene?" Su Zhiruan questioned.

She had previously learned about the composition of the Mortal World in Changqi’s Book Collection Pavilion.

Unlike the Demon Clan, some of the Mortal World was similar to feudal ancient times, with supreme imperial power, where citizens had no abilities to cultivate, while another part was dominated by several major sects who would select talented individuals each year to cultivate in the mountains, who after reaching a certain realm, would ascend to become immortals.

"The sects naturally wouldn’t care about a deserted little city disfavoured by those above. Besides some Demon Exterminators, no ordinary people would choose to go there; that would be asking for trouble." Li Bo sighed deeply, "Young master, Young Madam, although this is the first time I’ve met you, I still hope you abandon this decision. As for that church promising immortality, they are not good people; they’re all swindlers, and if things get serious, even lives could be lost."

His words were urgent, and he looked at Su Zhiruan and Changqi with worry, even slowing the carriage significantly, hoping they would turn back.

"We are not ordinary people," Changqi said after listening.

Li Bo opened his mouth slightly in surprise, "Could it be that you are..."

Changqi said nothing further, and Li Bo closed his mouth.

By now, his heart held a guess; ordinary people, especially the wealthy, cherished their lives, otherwise, they wouldn’t risk danger to seek the elixir of immortality.

If those sitting in the carriage today were truly just an ordinary young couple, perhaps they would have given up on continuing their journey after hearing his words, but if they were not ordinary and had come prepared, then everything made sense.

"Young master, Young Madam," Li Bo finally said to them, "be very careful."

The carriage left the city, and passersby all looked at them, many already recognizing Su Zhiruan and Changqi’s identities, all abuzz with talk.

"Look, look, those are the rich folks who recently arrived. I heard from others they might be Imperial Relatives, that wealthy young master spending days out with his wife shopping and reveling, now who in the city doesn’t know them."

"If they’re heading out by this road, it leads to two places—" A woman holding a vegetable basket appeared hesitant, she squinted her eyes watching the direction the carriage went, "this road, either goes to the Abandoned City or to that neighboring small country that’s nearly vanquished, who knows..."

"It’s definitely the Abandoned City. The wealthy chase immortality, and they’re in such a hurry, it must be it."

"Sigh, probably some young master, foolish and spoiled by his family, thinking everywhere he goes things fall from the sky, little does he know sometimes he’s putting himself at risk..."

...

Many people felt pity, having seen him shopping around with his wife in the past few days, and yet now, so soon, they were sending themselves to a dead end.

It wasn’t long after Su Zhiruan and Changqi had left that almost the entire city knew these two were headed to their doom.

The matter reached the Prefect, who was initially worried about Changqi’s influences; if he was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke, he couldn’t guarantee his own safety if things went awry.

But after a few days, he hadn’t discovered any news about any young master on a honeymoon trip, and there were no signs of Su Zhiruan and Changqi either, so he decided to block the news, forbidding the citizens to discuss it, and he himself was silent on the subject, never mentioning it again.

Abandoned City.

Su Zhiruan and Changqi had Li Bo drop them off at the city gates and told him to go back first.

Li Bo was reluctant, but after Su Zhiruan’s persistent persuasion, he finally agreed to return first.

At that moment, Su Zhiruan and Changqi stood at the tightly shut gates of the city.

Ordinary people couldn’t see the abnormalities here, only feeling a chill from behind, instinctively not wanting to get close.

Su Zhiruan and Changqi, one from the Demon Clan and the other a god, naturally could see the abnormalities here.

A towering black mist mixed with streaks of red fog, the air filled with the stench of decay, and from the black soil came intermittent wails of resentment, as if the dead had not reincarnated but were forever trapped here.

"The demonic aura here is heavy," Su Zhiruan touched her belly inconspicuously, worried about the child inside, "there should be many demons and ghosts."

"You must be careful, never take off the bracelet," Changqi reminded her.

"Certainly," Su Zhiruan nodded, becoming grave as she looked towards the city gates—

The gates were rust-ridden, with weeds and vines at the corner climbing up from the ground, thriving unusually well in a place where they shouldn’t, whether in leaves or length they were overly broad and long.

It was at that moment—
