Chapter 1136: The Castle of the Underworld

"That's it!"

Looking at the black mountains in front of her, Lily shouted with some surprise. After flying for an unknown amount of time, she finally found this place. Lily also confirmed again that the atmosphere of the place in front of her was exactly the same as the feeling Im gave her. It was both so dead and so decayed.

"Wait? What is that?"

Lily was wandering in the black mountains, but she found something wrong after only a few steps. In the black mountains, there was a very inconspicuous black castle. The color of the castle blended perfectly with the black mountains. If it weren't for Lily's good eyesight, she would not have been able to find this place.

Looking at the black castle, Lily hesitated. This inconspicuous building, which was different from the surrounding ones, might hide important secrets. However, the situation in the Black Mountains was too complicated. Lily did not dare to guarantee her safety here. Although she had many advantages in the underworld with her physical body, it was still unknown how much of her advantages could be brought into play in the face of such a strange situation.

But in the end, Lily decided to go for it. She swooped down to the top of the black castle. Then, a scene that surprised Lily even more appeared. She thought it was a lonely castle, but when she got closer, she found that it was unusually lively. Many men and women wearing all kinds of clothes that Lily had never seen before but should be quite expensive were entering and leaving the castle. They had standard smiles on their faces, as if they were going to a masquerade. But this was the underworld, a ghostly underworld with a creepy atmosphere all around. Why would there be a group of people laughing in such a place? And the smiles of these people looked so strange.

These people's smiles all look very happy, not those professional fake smiles, but it makes people feel weird because of this. The smiles of this group of people are as if someone nailed nails into their faces. Although they look very happy, a group of smiling faces that don't move, it will feel weird no matter how you look at it, right?But at this moment Lily didn't care about so much, she fell directly from the sky and landed in the middle of these weird people. Lily was ready for these people to pounce on her at any time, but what Lily didn't expect was that these weird souls seemed to have not noticed her at all, and continued to talk and walk with that weird smile, and even some souls that were about to bump into Lily would actively move to the side and nod to Lily, but the weird smile remained unchanged. It was this state that might seem nothing in the real world, but it made Lily feel a little scared, because this was the underworld, where the souls of the dead were, and it seemed that this was the embodiment of Im's soul.

"Hello, ma'am. Her Royal Highness has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me."

Suddenly, a man wearing a uniform similar to that of a butler, but more complicated, came over and spoke to Lily with the standard etiquette of a butler inviting someone.

"Are you talking to me?"

Lily frowned at the housekeeper and said, this situation is indeed a bit weird, who is Ms. Wang? Does she know me? Why did she say she was waiting for me? Could it be...

"Madam, please stop joking. Didn't you say you would come a long time ago? The princess has been waiting for you for a long time. She is looking forward to your arrival."

The butler smiled politely, and Lily realized that his smile could change. This was different from the previous ones. It was as if everyone was a robot, and this butler was smarter. However, at this point, Lily also wanted to see what the other party was up to.

"Let's go then."

Lily made a gesture to lead the way and pointed to the castle gate, while the butler made a relieved expression. Although he was still smiling, everyone could feel what the butler meant. After the butler finished speaking, he made a please gesture and walked in front to lead Lily. The two passed many smiling souls along the way. Although these people had similar facial expressions, Lily found that no one here was the same. Everyone had a different body shape. Obviously, these people were not copied fantasies, but real souls.

Lily followed the butler into the castle. There seemed to be a dance party being held in the castle hall. Handsome men and beautiful women in strange costumes were twisting their bodies to the sound of weird music with strange expressions. They looked like they were enjoying themselves and were obviously immersed in the music.

"Is today a holiday?"

Lily asked the housekeeper.

"Oh, of course. Today is the best festival in the entire kingdom. Today is Her Royal Highness the Princess' birthday. This is the most exciting day in the entire kingdom. Everyone is waiting for this day."

The butler exaggeratedly swung his body and made various exaggerated movements. If he were a living person, Lily suspected that he would be so excited that he would tap dance. Of course, Lily was not sure whether the souls here abided by the rules of the underworld. "Really? It seems that the princess has a very high status in your hearts."

Lily asked for the princess's information in a roundabout way. Although if Lily's guess was correct, the princess was most likely that Im, but her current appearance was completely different from the feeling Im had given before.

"Of course! Is there any need to say that? You know, ever since that bastard took the princess away and the princess came back alone, Her Highness has never held a birthday party again. But this time is different. After so many years, Her Highness finally held a birthday party again. How can this not make people excited?"

The butler seemed so excited that he was a little incoherent, and the rhythm of his speech became a little strange, which made Lily feel that the souls here would not suppress their desires in the state of life according to the usual practice of the underworld. Of course, it is also possible that the butler really respected the princess so much, and just like Jin and Dai's parents at that time, he broke through the normal limits after learning the good news, or his excitement value was too high, even if it was greatly discounted, it was still ridiculously high, resulting in breaking through the normal limits. After all, the dancing souls around did not seem so lively.

"That person? Who is that person?"

Lily asked curiously.

"That man? You know that man, too, Ms. Lily. Have you forgotten? He is——"

"Okay, Ceres, let Lily come over here, she's joking with you."

Suddenly, a clear female voice interrupted the butler Celis. Lily looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a white dress, a white wide-brimmed hat, and her face covered with a white veil walking out.

"Ah! Princess, I'm so sorry. I was too slow and made you wait. Ms. Lily seemed to want to visit the palace more, so we walked two more laps. Please forgive me."

Butler Ceres said with a pompous gesture of apology.

"It's okay, Ceres. Lily is my friend. Please go down first and let us talk alone."

The princess waved her hand, and Lily realized that the princess also had no skin exposed, but unlike Im's all-black outfit, the princess was dressed all in white.

"Hello, Princess, may I ask, have we met somewhere before?"

Lily looked at the princess standing on the high ground and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I do have a friend named Lily, but she's not you. I know you, Rose Lily. Although we've never met before, you've seen half of me, right? That person who calls himself Yimu, really, he actually abandoned his complete name. He's really crazy about becoming a god. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. This is really rude. Then let me introduce myself. I'm the eldest princess of the Narona Kingdom and the future queen - Narona Yimu!"

As the princess spoke, she lifted her veil, revealing an unusually delicate face.
