Realm of the Night God

"Haha, uncle, it's been a while, I really envy you, time hasn't left a single trace on your face, unlike me who has aged several years." Ma Ling looked at Yang Haoran and joked with a smile.

"What do you mean aged several years? You still look like you're in your twenties, compared to me, you're so youthful that you're almost dripping with it. If anything, I should be the one envying you." Yang Haoran responded with a laugh.

The reason Yang Haoran's appearance hasn't changed is that after becoming an Underworld Envoy, his looks will not age, and his body will not die naturally. Ma Ling, on the other hand, while possessing powers beyond an ordinary person, her body still ages, just at a slower pace.

At this moment, Ma Ling was very happy, one reason being that Yang Haoran had agreed to help her, and the other was that she was able to see her friend Yang Haoran again.

She looked Yang Haoran up and down, her eyes revealing a curious expression.

Although Yang Haoran's appearance hasn't changed much, the feeling he gave Ma Ling now was different from before.

Seeing the puzzled Ma Ling, Yang Haoran couldn't help but ask, "Is there something interesting about the way I look?"

"No, no, no, your appearance is still just that of an average person, but the feeling you give me now is different. As for what exactly is different, I can't quite put my finger on it at the moment." Еnjоying thе stоry? Disсоvеr mоrе оn М|V|LЕМ6РYR.

Regarding Ma Ling's words, Yang Haoran just smiled and didn't say anything more.

"I know, I know what's different about you. Compared to before, your aura has undergone a significant change, giving people a sense of profound depth."

Yang Haoran smiled, neither agreeing nor denying Ma Ling's statement, and he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he asked Ma Ling, "When do we set out?"

"We can leave immediately. By the way, what level of strength have you reached now?" Ma Ling asked with a smile.

"Me? I'm just an ordinary Burial Master, and I've only been a Burial Master for a few years. Do you think my strength could be that powerful?" Yang Haoran asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Ma Ling nodded and said, "That's true. You've only been the Burial Master of Lecheng for a few years, so your speed of improvement shouldn't be too fast. But to become a Burial Master of an Underworld Envoy, your strength must be quite formidable. I'm sure you know our Burial Master in Ancheng. I heard she was originally the Night Watch in Lecheng, and after opening her heaven soul, she was transferred to Ancheng and became the Burial Master there. Her strength is said to be very powerful. I estimate that your strength shouldn't be too far behind hers."

"Haha, of course I know our Burial Master in Ancheng. But her strength is far superior to mine," Yang Haoran responded with a smile.

In fact, this was not entirely true. If he were to compare his current strength to Xu Meijing's, barring any unexpected circumstances, his strength would have far surpassed hers by now, thanks to the thirty soul pills he had consumed in the past two months. However, he had no intention of showing off his power. Even though his strength had increased significantly, the fluctuations of power emanating from him were not very strong, as he was constantly maximizing the suppression of his power fluctuations.

As for Ma Ling, the power fluctuations she was emitting were stronger than when she was in Lecheng before. Yang Haoran couldn't be sure whether she was deliberately concealing her power or not, but he could confirm that Ma Ling had grown considerably stronger compared to the past.

"How is your strength now?" Yang Haoran asked, although he already knew that Ma Ling's strength had increased significantly.

Mentioning her own strength, Ma Ling's smile became more self-satisfied.

"Hehe, my strength has improved a lot compared to before. As for how strong I am exactly, you'll be able to see it when we deal with the zombies." Ma Ling chuckled, her smile containing a hint of pride.

Seeing that Ma Ling didn't elaborate, Yang Haoran didn't continue to inquire, as he wasn't particularly interested in this matter.

"Let's go, we'll drive to a secluded place first, and I'll tell you the details on the way." Ma Ling spoke up.

Yang Haoran didn't say anything more, just smiled and nodded at Ma Ling.

After getting in the car, Ma Ling immediately drove towards a less crowded area, and along the way, she explained the situation in detail to Yang Haoran.

"Shortly before I called you, my family suddenly received news that a corpse fiend had appeared in Huangniu Town, and many villagers there had suffered as a result. The Spirit Police rushed to the scene, but the ones sent on the mission were no match for this corpse fiend. They could barely prevent more villagers from being harmed, so the Spirit Police immediately sought help from my family."

Yang Haoran asked, "Aren't there any experts in the Spirit Police?"

Ma Ling replied, "There are, but the Spirit Police have other tasks to handle, and most of their experts have been assigned to another mission. They have no one to spare to deal with this sudden appearance of the corpse fiend. To prevent the corpse fiend from causing greater impact, the Spirit Police turned to my family for assistance. What I never expected was that my father would task me with this mission."

Ma Ling's expression was somewhat resigned as she said this. It was clear from her expression that she was not eager to take on this task.

"In our family, I'm the weakest one, but my father has entrusted this task to me. This makes me quite helpless. Based on my father's description, I know it will be difficult for me to defeat the corpse fiend in Huangniu Town with my current abilities, so I've found you as an assistant. After all, my father didn't say I couldn't seek help."

As Ma Ling spoke, her tone shifted from complaint to a hint of pride, as if she were praising her own cleverness.

"How's the situation there now?" Yang Haoran asked.

"The Spirit Police who rushed there may not be able to match the corpse fiend, but they've managed to successfully contain it. We just need to go and take care of it," Ma Ling said.

She then drove the car into a secluded side road and found an inconspicuous spot to park.

"This place is remote and deserted enough. We can tear open a spatial rift to teleport there without being noticed by ordinary people."

Yang Haoran nodded in agreement with Ma Ling's plan. After getting out of the car, Ma Ling mobilized her power to tear open a spatial rift, though the expression on her face showed that this was still quite taxing for her.
