This Taoist Master is too Frivolous-Chapter 441 - 309: Underworld’s Powerful Weapon, Can It Be Used Easily?
Chapter 441: Chapter 309: Underworld’s Powerful Weapon, Can It Be Used Easily?
“Is he really not the son you had in the human world?”
“Nonsense!”
Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu furrowed his brow, a hint of confusion flashing across his majestic face as he said in surprise, “So why is there someone in Fengdu City claiming to be my child?”
With a wave of his hand, a vortex appeared in the space before his eyes, and within it, an image formed.
In that image, there was an immense city.
As the image zoomed in closer,
everything inside the city was revealed.
Xu Yang’s face was captured in the image for a few seconds.
Both Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu and his embodiment “Qingyi, the Master of the Ghost Market of Fengdu” were taken aback, then burst out laughing: “So, it’s him… since he wants to be my son, let him be one for a while!”
……
Meanwhile,
Fengdu City.
Lord Cui was very efficient in handling affairs.
Before the curfew was imposed upon Fengdu City at night, he had sent an officer from the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws to personally deliver the key to the “mansion” for Xu Yang.
This was a mansion covering more than ten acres, complete with artificial mountains, pavilions, a garden, and even a small man-made lake inhabited by some unidentified fish.
Inside the mansion, many “human head lanterns” floated about.
However, unlike those in the human world, these human head lanterns held not red candles in their mouths, but night pearls, illuminating the entire mansion brightly.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Xu Yang and Liu Shishi inspected the mansion and were very satisfied, saying: “Brother Cui has really outdone himself… Brother, what is your surname?”
He looked at the Underworld officer who had brought him here, inquiring about his name and eight characters of birth.
He then took out a stack of netherworld currency and a Chinese cigarette and passed them to the Underworld officer, laughing, “Thank you for showing the way… have some money and this cigarette.”
The Underworld officer gazed at the thick stack of currency in his hand, each bill worth more than his annual salary, and became frightened. He dared not accept it and said, “Young Master Xu, I am only following orders…”
“Take it. I, Xu Yang, do not have the habit of taking back the things I reward.”
The officer finally accepted it.
He respectfully left the mansion and returned to the Underworld’s Bureau of Laws to report, also presenting all the rewards Xu Yang had bestowed upon him.
Unexpectedly, the usually strict Lord Cui said nothing, but merely smiled, “Since young master Xu has rewarded you, just keep it.”
The officer was overjoyed and quickly exited.
…
Inside the mansion,
Xu Yang sat in a pavilion in the courtyard, bringing out beverages, snacks, melon seeds, and fruits from the human world to share with Liu Shishi. They ate while looking up at the moon in the sky.
Unlike the human world,
the moon in the Underworld Palace was blood-red.
In addition, the sky in the Underworld was constantly dark and gloomy, with a layer of fog lingering in the air, making the moon appear hazy.
“Ah!”
Xu Yang sighed, “This trip to the underworld was originally meant to accompany my wife on her breakthrough journey…but who would have thought, so many things have happened.”
“What my husband is referring to is…”
Liu Shishi did not know about Xu Yang’s discovery of his own “identity.”
Xu Yang pondered for a few seconds, then whispered, “Madam, I…I might have found my father.”
“What?”
A look of panic flashed through Liu Shishi’s beautiful eyes, and she quickly stood up, “Has my father-in-law passed away? Is… is he in the Underworld? Have you met him?”
As a daughter-in-law,
meeting her father-in-law would always make her nervous.
“Don’t be nervous. Just sit down. My dad hasn’t died…he’s still alive, and he’s quite prominent…”
Xu Yang lowered his voice even more and mysterious said, “I suspect that my father…is Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu!”
“What?”
As soon as she sat down, Liu Shishi swiftly stood up again, her eyes filled with disbelief. Her already fair face turned even paler, and she stammered, “Husband… are… are you telling the truth?”
“True or false, it has yet to be confirmed.”
Xu Yang answered, “However, judging by the information I currently have… it’s most likely true.”
He changed his tone and chuckled, “Alright, Madam, let’s not talk about this anymore… Now that we have our own home in Fengdu City, we can come to the underworld anytime. To celebrate our move to a new place, tonight… hehehe!”
Liu Shishi’s cheeks flushed a little, and she whispered, “Shouldn’t my husband be cultivating tonight?” freewёbnoνel.com
“No need… Cultivation is also about striking a balance between work and rest.”
The human and ghost went from the pavilion to their room, continuing their activities until “daylight” before ceasing.
Above them, the hazy blood moon set and was replaced by a bloody sun.
Although it was daylight, the Underworld remained dark.
Liu Shishi took out pots and pans from the storage ring and cooked breakfast in their new home. After they finished eating, Xu Yang proposed to take a stroll around Fengdu City.
Together, the human and the ghost walked the streets of Fengdu City and arrived at a market.
Within the market, ghosts came and went, shops and stalls lined both sides of the street, and loud hawking filled the air. It was bustling and lively.
There was a wide variety of items on display.
High-quality Yin Treasure fragments,
immortal artifact shards,
shattered treasure maps…
Some ghosts even peddled “blood of immortals.”
Whether they were genuine or fake was unclear.
Of course, Xu Yang didn’t care about their authenticity, because this wasn’t a novel. Surely he didn’t expect the same thing to happen to him as a novel protagonist, to casually visit a market and find some ancient artifact, a map to a treasure, or some divine weapon?
