"Did I spent a week sleeping?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Just a day." He chuckled and kissed her again.

"And you already miss me despite sitting next to me the whole day?"

Smirking, Mo Li nodded. However, when he was about to kiss her again, a voice echoed from the outside of their cave. Mo Li's face darkened. He was planning to spend this time traveling the universe with her for their honeymoon. Who would dare ruin his plans?

"It might be someone who lives here. Maybe they knew we were not Ghosts?" Almost immediately Fang Yu's face paled. She clenched her hands. "They have a voice… meaning… they are powerful?" Seeing her reaction, Mo Li laughed and sat on the bed.

"Are you staying here?" This cave has a room just for them, a tea room, a cultivation room, a potioneering room, and a room where Mo Li could make artifacts.

"Of course, I am." Would she really talk to ghosts? Just the thought of it made her tremble in fear. "I— I will sleep."

Mo Li shook his head before letting out a peal of soft laughter before kissing her forehead and finally walking out of the room. Seeing this, Fang Yu sighed and put her hands on top of her heart. Just the thought of talking to ghosts was making her heart beat so fast, it's no longer logical anymore. How did she develop this kind of fear? Obviously, she had never seen a ghost before.

'Robot! Please explain… am I getting sick? Is there something wrong with my soul?'

[Bee has no way to tell. Host, Bee is scared of ghosts too.]

"…" So this was indeed connected to Lily. Slowly, Fang Yu's eyes widened. Was it possible that Lily was killed by some ghosts? That was too impossible. Too illogical. She shook her head and decided to close her eyes and stop thinking about Ghosts instead.

…..

Meanwhile, Mo Li was sitting in front of an old man. Next to the old man was a beautiful woman wearing a red cheongsam.

"Good Immortal. We would like to apologize for disturbing you." The man spoke, he stared at Mo Li, his wrinkled face apologetic. "But.. We needed your help."

"You managed to sense me?"

"It's not me. My granddaughter, Lara, did." The old man looked at the woman next to him. "Good immortal, I am called Klum. I am the leader of the village nearby. When my granddaughter told me that someone made a cave in this mountain, I immediately knew that it was a powerful immortal. So… I came here to ask for a favor."

"No." Mo Li immediately said. He was here for his honeymoon while Fang Yu was here to make those pills. They are pretty occupied. "I have no time for such things."

"Good Immortal. Please… I am begging you. Please hear us out. We have something that we could give you in return for helping us out. I can assure the Good immortal that these things are essential to cultivators."

Mo Li stared at the old man and to his granddaughter. Both were already considered powerful in this world."Speak." He said. Of course, he was not planning to change his mind. This trip was for his honeymoon, and no one can change that.

"Good Immortal… thank you!" The old man spoke, his voice trembled before he continued. "A few months ago, a group of beasts attacked our small village. They… They ate some women then left."

"Ate?"

"Yes. They ate their souls in front of us. At that time, ten women died." The thing about Ghosts is when they died, they would forever perish and won't reincarnate anymore.

"You said… they were beasts?"

"Yes— Yes… beastmen… head looked like lions and wolves, but their body is that of humans."

"I have never heard of those things before." Mo Li lied. "What are they?"

"Well…" The old man eyed his granddaughter before speaking, " Well… they are cursed souls. Unable to reincarnate and would stay in this world forever. They were treated as servants before they turned into something ferocious a couple of years ago. After that, they left the cities and lived on their own in the mountains. However, every three months they would hunt women… and ate them." The old man trembled. "We have no other choice but ask for the Good Immortal's help. As you know, we have no abilities and our body was not strong. We can't defeat someone with special abilities like the beastmen."

"Why not just leave? Or perhaps evacuate the village?"

"Good Immortal, we can't do that. Since the new Ghost king arrived here, every village has its own territories to take care of. We can't go to the other territory unless they would allow us to. We already tried to ask for their help, but everyone was too scared to help us."

"Hmmm." Mo Li took a sip of his tea. "And the reward that you were talking about?"

"I know the location of a certain type of lotus that could help any immortal breakthrough to the immortal stage."

As expected Mo Li's eyebrow lifted. "Seven colored lotus?"

When the old man heard Mo Li's words, he trembled and nodded. Not many people knew about the immortal stage, and the ones that knew about this tried to get the flower from the Ghost Dimension but always failed and ended up dying.

"I don't need that." Mo Li shrugged. He was far more powerful than someone from the immortal stage, and he was sure that Fang Yu could ascend anytime that she wanted to. Fang Yu was close to her breakthrough to the nascent soul stage. After the nascent soul stage is the immortal stage, which many people wanted to achieve.

However, Fang Yu was different. Because of her body, she could travel to different dimensions and cultivate, and once she accompanied him to the Demon Dimension, Mo Li would have the ability to make her as powerful as him.

*THUD*

"Grandfather what are you doing?" the woman tried to stop her grandfather from kneeling in front of Mo Li. "Stop it. Let's just find another immortal to help us."

The old man shook his head and looked at Mo Li. "Please! I beg of you! Save us!" He said before he started kowtowing.
