Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 389 - 398: Have you ever seen a woman be reasonable?

If it’s a war, shouldn’t one flee from the vortex of the battlefield? Isn’t that the way to escape the chaos of war? Why is everyone rushing towards the center of the battlefield?

"Old man, you don’t have a fever, do you? Shouldn’t we be getting as far away from the battlefield as possible?"

Ye Ling couldn’t help but be stunned. This was completely abnormal, wasn’t it? The phenomenon was a bit strange.

But the old man just smiled and shook his head, "You see, you don’t understand. Let me tell you, all the other cities are engaged in fierce battles right now, so they are definitely not places to go to."

"They say that these Underworld Soldiers, once they enter a city, they go on a killing spree, having already caused numerous ghosts to be utterly destroyed. So you see, the other cities are not safe."

"And outside the cities? There’s absolutely no security at all, whereas this place is quite safe."

"Have you ever heard the saying ’It’s darkest under the lamp’?"

Ye Ling was taken aback, nodded, but what did ’darkest under the lamp’ have to do with this? It was completely unrelated.

"This place, as a city that has already been conquered, at least we don’t have to worry about the casualties caused by the war, right? And then, even if the original forces of the Netherworld come here later, they won’t indulge in senseless slaughter."

"So staying here is absolutely safe. You might as well wait here; no matter who takes control of the Netherworld, as long as they allow us to be reincarnated, that’s all that matters."

After the old man finished speaking, Ye Ling finally understood. Damn, so that was the meaning. This place was absolutely safe now, being the stronghold of the rebels; of course it would be heavily fortified.

And even if the original forces of the Netherworld came later and the rebels were defeated, they would still be safe. After all, the original forces were official personnel; they couldn’t just be so unprofessional as to indulge in indiscriminate killing.

The thieves, such crafty thieves, these people, no, these ghosts who actually rebelled and went against the grain, truly lived up to the adage that the old are wise. These fellows must have lived for a very long time; they were cunning indeed.

"So that’s how it is. Kid, I really did learn something new. It’s a shame, really. If I were alive, maybe I could have made some money with your advice, old man."

Ye Ling quickly bowed with his hands clasped, a look of genuine admiration on his face. He really was in awe; these ghosts were indeed too cunning.

But the old man just smiled and nodded, "Life is a path that you can never travel too far on, and there will always be constant ups and downs waiting for you. There’s always something to learn, and it won’t always be smooth sailing."

"Especially the young people of today. When they are young, they earn money recklessly, and when they are old, they regret it. When young, they trade their lives for money; when old, they trade their money for life."

"It has to be said, it’s a very ironic situation. Too bad, though, I won’t be able to see it anymore, and who knows if I will be the same after I am reincarnated."

The old man seemed to sigh with nostalgia, while Ye Ling couldn’t help but laugh beside him.

After all, everyone has different thoughts. Yes, people nowadays really do go all out for money, but today’s society is different from the past.

In this society, without money, you simply can’t stand your ground, and more importantly, a decent standard of living also requires a substantial amount of wealth to ensure it.

So, do you choose to live the first half of your life with no security, suffer the disdain of others, and be looked down upon by countless people, or live a life that is the envy and jealousy of others?

More importantly, a superior environment can also allow your children to live a life that many people envy.

Thus, everyone sees society through different eyes, with differing perspectives. There can never be a single, uniform society.

If there truly was one, then this world would have long been united as one, with no distinctions of race or skin color.

"All right, old man, I’m off. I think you’ll definitely be reincarnated into a good family in the future," Ye Ling gave the old man a fist and palm salute, then disappeared into the swirling mass of wandering souls.

The old man stared at Ye Ling’s departing figure, somewhat dazed. He had a feeling that this young man was extraordinary, truly extraordinary, and he trusted his intuition that had guided him throughout his life.

Inside Senluo City, Ye Ling wandered nonstop. This Netherworld city was pretty much like the ancient cities of humans, filled with various sights. In fact, it was simply a society that human beings entered after death.

Ye Ling discretely gathered information on the side, and after half a day, he finally came to a conclusion—the Ma Slave was now inside the Senluo Palace, commanding the entire Netherworld army and issuing orders.

"Tsk tsk, really thinks he’s jumped from being a horse slave to ruling a world." Ye Ling sneered coldly.

Just then, suddenly a voice came through: "Squeak squeak, Ye Ling, hurry over here, I’ve been tangled up by two women, dammit, when has this great king ever been treated like this, ah stop it!"

Ye Ling was startled. Could it be that Xiao Bai was in danger?

With that thought, he quickly made his way toward where Xiao Bai’s telepathy was coming from. In less than a minute, he arrived at the scene, only to be instantly dumbfounded.

Oh come on, stop messing around.

Two women had cornered Xiao Bai.

"What kind of treatment is this! What on earth is this treatment, a beast, dammit, envied by so many onlookers, I’m dying of jealousy!"

Ye Ling’s saliva almost dripped down as he watched one of the women surrounding Xiao Bai; she was wearing a green dress, beautiful and full of youth.

Beside the green-dressed woman stood another with long hair and a pink dress, her hair pinned up neatly, dignified and composed, just looking at her was pleasing.

"Yah yah! Sister Xiao Mei, look how cute this little thing is, I want to take it home with me, hehe." The green-dressed woman laughed with a hehe, showing two small white canine teeth.

The woman in the pink dress nodded, "Miss, this little guy is indeed cute, but we don’t know if it has an owner."

"So what if it has an owner? Who in the Yin Realm dares to compete with me? I am the great—" She was cut off before she could finish as the woman beside her quickly covered her mouth.

"Miss!" Xiao Mei looked anxious, and the green-dressed woman glanced around before prying off the hand that was covering her own and took a deep breath.

"I forgot, damn, this is a critical moment."

"But even so, what of it, I’m telling you, I’ve set my sights on this little thing!" The woman laughed hehe, clenching her fist triumphantly.

Xiao Mei shook her head with a wry smile. The young lady was nice enough, just a bit temperamental like a young mistress, but there was no helping it. The lord had gotten a child late in life, and naturally, she was doted on.

At this moment, Ye Ling approached them: "Miss, could you return my Xiao Bai to me, please?"

"Who are you, anyway? Just because you say it’s yours doesn’t make it so. I could say it’s mine too. Xiao Mei, let’s go home," the green-dressed woman lifted her head, ready to leave.

Ye Ling was taken aback, "Hey, don’t go, it really is mine, why are you being so unreasonable?"

"Heh, when have you ever seen a woman be reasonable? I’m telling you, this little creature now belongs to me," the green-dressed woman laughed with a heh, looking very smug.
