The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 50 - : 50. Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and Children’s Books

Chapter 50: 50. Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and Children’s Books

These seven Gourd Demons, known as the Seven Mysterious Yin Gods, manage all kinds and sizes of demons and spirits within Lanruo Temple. Any cultivator who intrudes into Lanruo Temple is dealt with by the Seven Mysterious Yin Gods.

The Tree Demon Elder wakes up every seven days; other than absorbing Blood Food, it hardly ever takes action. Having been in Lanruo Temple for so many years, Nie Xiaoqian has only seen the Tree Demon act twice.

Once when Yan Chixia caused a huge disturbance in Lanruo Temple, and the Seven Mysterious Yin Gods could not handle her. Ultimately, the Tree Demon personally took action and defeated Yan Chixia.

The second time is now, with that female cultivator outside who is fighting fiercely against the Tree Demon. Nie Xiaoqian doesn’t recognize this one.

While Nie Xiaoqian was recounting this, there were still intermittent vibrations and explosions coming from above, indicating that the battle between the Tree Demon and Ling Xiaoyue was far from over.

After hearing Nie Xiaoqian’s account, Fang Zhou was completely baffled.

...

Am I in the world of “A Chinese Ghost Story” or in the world of “Calabash Brothers”? You mix a supernatural anthology with children’s literature; it puts me in a very passive situation.

Fang Zhou felt a headache coming on, now fully realizing that the ghostly disturbance last night in the courtyard of Lanruo Temple was highly likely caused by the invisible Sixth Brother. At that time, instead of directly killing all the cultivators, Sixth Brother probably feared that some might escape, waiting to trap them all in this haunted place where they could play any game they wanted without issues.

And that little demon chasing him all over just now must have been the youngest, Seventh Brother, with that purple gourd as his signature equipment.

As for the genders of the Calabash Brothers, Fang Zhou was no longer fretting over it. Whatever they are, they are.

Even if you are a hermaphroditic demon, I will still stab you without hesitation.

And by stabbing, I mean with a sword; don’t misunderstand.

Although the abilities of the seven Calabash Brothers are known, Nie Xiaoqian knows nothing about the key figure, the Tree Demon Elder. Being just an ordinary ghost, he can’t get close to the Tree Demon and had to stay far away, unable to even watch, let alone interfere, in the two instances the Tree Demon took action.

If relying solely on information provided by Nie Xiaoqian, Fang Zhou wouldn’t be able to take any targeted action.

Even if he could defeat the Seven Mysterious Yin Gods, the crucial Tree Demon is still an issue, and Fang Zhou couldn’t solely rely on Ling Xiaoyue to defeat the Tree Demon. Furthermore, he wasn’t sure if defeating the Tree Demon would mean his task was completed.

Therefore, no matter what, he must get involved, even if just to assist.

I’ll just linger outside without going in; the Tree Demon shouldn’t abandon Ling Xiaoyue to target me instead, right?

Seeing Fang Zhou deeply frowning in thought, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly said, “Regarding the Tree Demon, there is someone who might know more than I do.”

Fang Zhou abruptly looked up, “Who?”

Nie Xiaoqian slowly said, “Hero Yan!”

“Yan Chixia?”

Fang Zhou exclaimed in surprise, “Isn’t she already dead?”

Ning Caichen, also surprised, looked at Nie Xiaoqian, “Xiaoqian, what’s going on? Is Hero Yan still alive?”

After they parted ways with Yan Chixia, he had wanted to go out and search for her multiple times but was dissuaded by Nie Xiaoqian, who said that Yan Chixia had likely met with misfortune and it would be too risky to search for her.

Nie Xiaoqian looked at Ning Caichen with deep regret, “I’m sorry, Caichen. I lied to you. Hero Yan didn’t die; after the Tree Demon defeated her, it didn’t kill her but imprisoned her in a dungeon, torturing her daily. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would act rashly. Just the two of us wouldn’t be able to rescue Hero Yan; please don’t blame me.”

Fang Zhou silently gave Nie Xiaoqian a thumbs up, beautifully done. With Ning Caichen’s impulsive nature, if he knew Yan Chixia was still alive, he would likely have prompted Nie Xiaoqian to go on a suicide mission.

Ning Caichen looked at Nie Xiaoqian lovingly, “Xiaoqian, I know you did it for my sake. How could I blame you?”

Nie Xiaoqian also looked at Ning Caichen lovingly, “Caichen, you are truly kind.”

This man and ghost stared deeply into each other’s eyes, full of tender affection. If Fang Zhou, the single guy, hadn’t been there, they probably would have started rolling around in the sheets by now.

This couple started feeding dog food again, but Fang Zhou couldn’t swallow any of it.

In his mind, he continuously replaced Nie Xiaoqian with Yan Chixia, and whenever he thought about Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia embracing and whispering sweet nothings under the moonlight, his heart ached.

What heinous crime had he committed to deserve such spiritual corruption?!

Seeing Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian getting closer in their deep gaze and about to embrace again, Fang Zhou quickly interrupted: “Enough, enough, wait for me to leave before you get cozy, hurry up and tell me the location of the dungeon.”

The news that Yan Chixia was still alive surprised Fang Zhou; he knew that as one of the main characters in the first two parts of “A Chinese Ghost Story,” Yan Chixia wouldn’t die so easily.

Yan Chixia had immense mana, the seven Gourd Boys couldn’t handle her. She even personally fought against the Tree Demon, so she certainly had a deep understanding of it.

Embarrassed, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian separated. Nie Xiaoqian to Fang Zhou, “Immortal Fang, let me lead you. We can avoid the demons’ patrols along the way.”

Fang Zhou had no objections; having a ghost lead the way was too good to pass up.

Nie Xiaoqian then turned back to Ning Caichen and said softly, “Caichen, stay here and wait for me to return.”

Ning Caichen, knowing he was a weak scholar who couldn’t help, could only nod, “Don’t worry, I’ll stay put and won’t run around.”

After the two said goodbye, Fang Zhou left with Nie Xiaoqian from the basement, heading through the tunnels towards the dungeon.

Nie Xiaoqian went ahead, Fang Zhou followed, and only when he got closer did he smell the ghostly aura on him.

This aura, though colorless and odorless, had a chilling effect that seeped into one’s heart and lungs.

As Fang Zhou followed Nie Xiaoqian, he wondered how Han Li was doing now.

Hoping she was safe.

…

Half an hour earlier.

After witnessing a corpse being dragged away by tree roots, Han Li’s urge to leave this place grew stronger.

But with the entire Lanruo Temple shrouded in white fog, discerning directions was difficult, and leaving was not an easy feat, especially with many ghosts lurking in the fog.

Another exorcism charm was used, leaving only four remaining. Han Li didn’t plan on using them unless absolutely necessary, as she had a small bottle on her that ensured ghosts couldn’t stealthily attack and kill her.

After groping her way through the fog for a while, Han Li noticed many thick tree roots emerging densely from the ground, like the tentacles of a monster.

Feeling the danger in her instincts, Han Li quickly turned to leave, but suddenly saw a figure ahead.

The figure noticed her too and immediately shouted, “Who is there?”

Upon closer inspection, Han Li realized it was one of the independent cultivators who came this time, surprisingly still alive.

Being cautious by nature, she didn’t approach immediately, and the look in the other’s eyes didn’t seem friendly either.

“Well, well, it turns out to be you, you stinky girl.”

True to form, the other immediately spoke rudely and shouted loudly, “Fellow Daoists, I have found the stinky girl who colluded with the monks.”
