What is it like to receive a gift from the Netherworld King?
For Shen Li, the experience boiled down to two words.
Despair.
He closed his eyes, accepting fate, but unexpectedly, after Bai Lu dragged him into the alley, she didn't pull out a whip like before.
Instead, she took out a Spiritual Sealing Item, and after activating it, formed a barrier that enveloped the alley.
Shen Li was bewildered, why was Bai Lu acting differently this time?
Something felt off.
Very off.
After ensuring no one was watching.
The alley's light dimmed, and the atmosphere turned strange.
"Boom!"
The Bai Family Witch pressed her palm against the wall, trapping Shen Li in her embrace. She glared fiercely at Little Iron Man and demanded, "Shen Li! Explain yourself! What did you mean by the words you uttered at the banquet?"
"I…"
Shen Li's expression was complex.
He waged a fierce internal struggle; he felt like spilling the truth about the banquet.
