I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 938 Extra Chapter: For Whom Did the Holy King Come?
Coastal pier.

The funeral boats were docked in dense array.

Lu Wuyong noticed that some of the spirit ships still had to queue, while the spirit ship they were on would arrive much faster.

“I told you to buy a ticket from Kering Shipping, okay? It’s not more expensive than other spirit ships, but the service is better. It has its own shipping routes and boarding gates.”

"That's right, tickets are just too hard to get, especially for events like the Lingxi Festival."

The passengers chatted as they lined up to disembark.

"Are you guests going to the Lingxi Festival? Do you need a beast-drawn carriage?"

As soon as Lü Wuyong and his family disembarked, a young girl approached them with a smile and asked them a question.

Another high-ranking spiritual child!
Lu Wuyong had learned to remain calm and not be easily shocked by the people and things he saw.

Lu Bufan glanced at the girl's sleeve and saw a circle of blue silk embroidered with cloud patterns tied around it. His expression became more serious, and he replied, "Do you have a cloud chariot?"

The girl said, "We no longer have five-person cloud carriages. Would you be willing to have a single-person cloud carriage, or a cloud carriage with ten or twenty or more people?"

Lu Bufan turned around and asked his family what they thought.

Lü Wuyong had no objection.

Lu Xiuyan said, "For the group of twenty, call Sister Zhang and the others. If we meet other people on the bus, Xiao Cong and Xiao Hai can also make new friends."

Xiao Hai is Lü Xiaocong's friend.

Lü Xiuyan's decision made Lü Xiaocong very happy.

The twenty-person cloud car is a larger version of the ghost story "Cloud Returns Home".

The young woman who led them worked for Kering Shipping and took them on their journey to the Cloud Car.

There were already about ten people sitting in the waiting area. Lu Wuyong looked them over one by one, and when he saw the four people on the sea beast earlier, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Hey, grandpa, what a coincidence!" Li You also saw him and waved to greet him.

Lu Wuyong's face remained stiff.

Lu Bufan thought he wasn't used to the friendliness between people nowadays, so he gave Lu Xiaocong a look, telling him to go and interact with children his own age.

Lü Xiaocong understood and led Zhang Hai to Li You's side.

The three children, all eager to participate in the Lingxi Festival, quickly exchanged names and started chatting together.

"You also want to get into the Nightlife Academy?"

"That's right. Now, among all the eligible spiritual masters in the world, is there anyone who doesn't want to enter the Night Wanderer Academy?"

"That's true, but it's too difficult to get into Night Wanderer Academy. I envy the people of the Eternal Dream Continent in the past. I heard that when Night Wanderer Academy was first established, even ordinary spiritual students could get in."

"In the past, you also had to take exams to get into the Night Tour Academy. We also had to pass rounds of monthly and annual exams at the academy before we could get in based on our real talent and learning." Unexpectedly, a young man joined the three of them in their discussion.

As soon as he spoke, everyone else in the waiting area looked over.

I was very interested in what he said.

Lü Bufan said, "Judging from what you're saying, fellow Daoist, you're from the Night Wanderer Academy?"

The young man smiled and said, "I'm still working at the university."

Everyone looked at him with envy, which pleased the young man greatly. He answered their questions about visiting the academy at night.

"Guests, the cloud vehicle is ready," a notification sounded from inside the cubicle.

The conversation stopped, and everyone boarded the bus in turn.

The twenty-person cloud car is a larger version of the ghost story "Cloud Returns Home".

A young tour guide was already seated upstairs. After everyone was seated, he asked, "Are the guests all ready?"

After receiving a definite answer, the cloud chariot finally took off and headed towards Linghuazhai.

Since there were no obstructions to the view around Yun Gui Gu Li, the people on the cloud also saw similar but different-sized cloud vehicles in front and behind.

Who would have thought that such a strange tale as "clouds returning to their hometown" would become a part of daily transportation?
Lü Wuyong sighed inwardly.

He would never have imagined such a scene if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

The passengers resumed their previous conversation, asking the young man about his nighttime visit to the university.

The young man, however, was not as open and forthcoming as he had been at the waiting area.

Lu Wuyong noticed that Zhang Hai's father secretly slipped something into the young man's sleeve.

Lu Wuyong suddenly realized, glanced at Lu Bufan, and gestured for him to be quick-witted as well.

Lu Bufan didn't see Zhang's father's actions, so he didn't understand what Lu Wuyong's look meant.

Lu Xiuyan noticed the whole situation, hesitated slightly, and glanced at Lu Xiaocong. Out of the corner of her eye, her gaze accidentally met a pair of bright, amber eyes.

Lu Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, then looked closely and saw that it was a girl who called herself Li You.

Li Youchao gave her a bright smile.

Lu Xiuyan was taken aback again. This child always seemed happy, always smiling brightly.

In fact, Li You was very happy and felt that coming out was the right decision. He found everyone's reactions along the way quite interesting.

In that brief moment of hesitation and distraction, the situation on the scene suddenly took an unexpected turn—the young man who had accepted the gift was trapped by the strange artifact.

"Heh, it's you, isn't it?" The driver turned around and said with a sinister smile, "These days you've been hanging around in various car dealerships, pretending to be a graduate of Night Wanderer Academy, tricking out-of-town visitors into giving gifts in exchange for so-called secret academic papers."

The people on the bus were shocked to hear this, and seeing the disheveled face of the trapped young man, they understood everything.

Zhang Hai's father, who had just given a gift, was so angry he wanted to chop off his own hand, worried that his actions would affect Zhang Hai's eligibility to run for office.

Without even trying to deny it, the young man confessed to his crime: "I did work at the Night Wanderer Academy, and what I said to them was true. They gave me gifts voluntarily, not because I forced them. The only thing I fabricated was the secret scroll, but that's a crime I shouldn't die for."

The conductor was both amused and exasperated. He sighed to the other nineteen passengers on the bus, "This guy is clearly a seasoned scoundrel. He knows the laws of the Night Palace very well, but he doesn't use them for good. He takes advantage of the large number of visitors to do this kind of petty theft."

Zhang Hai's father said nervously, "His problem is that he lied, but those who gave him gifts were also deceived, so they shouldn't be considered accomplices, right?"

The chauffeur smiled and said, "What you say makes sense. During the Spirit Rhinoceros Gathering, there are many different people around, so please keep your eyes open and don't easily trust others. Although there are laws in the Eternal Dream Continent, it doesn't mean that everyone is good."

Upon hearing that he would not be implicated in his actions, Zhang Hai's father repeatedly agreed.

Others echoed.

Lü Wuyong was somewhat dazed.

Honestly, the young man's methods weren't particularly clever, and his rhetoric, upon closer examination now, wasn't entirely without flaws. If someone had tried to trick him, they might have seen through his deception on the spot.

Why didn't I become wary of him from the beginning?

Because subconsciously, they've already come to believe in the ways of Eternal Dreamland.

How terrifying. Lü Wuyong thought to himself, less than twenty years have passed since the appearance of Eternal Dreamland. Changing the world is already an extraordinary feat, but changing people's hearts... in fact, it's even more difficult than the former!
What's even more terrifying is that, while thinking this way, he doesn't fear or reject Eternal Dreamland; instead, he adapts to it and looks forward to the continued changes to come.

I am also one of those whose 'hearts' are being changed.

Even before the cloud chariot had fully arrived at Linghuazhai, one could see from afar the magnificent sight of the Lingxi flower crown in full bloom, covering half the sky.

"Wow, amazing..." Lu Xiaocong stared blankly at that spot, then turned to Lu Wuyong and asked, "Grandpa, was it like this when the Spirit Pointing Technique was first opened in our Spirit Pointing Prefecture?" Lu Wuyong proudly replied, "Yes."

Lu Bufan interjected, "That's very different. Don't blindly trust your grandfather, or you'll make a fool of yourself later. In the past, when the Spirit Rhinoceros was in full bloom, only the flower crown was visible, and the entrance to the root system was outside. The surrounding area was barren and chaotic, occupied by various forces that came to select people. Now, the Spirit Rhinoceros and the Spirit Flower Pavilion have merged into one. The buildings alone are different from before, and the way to join is also different from the past."

As he spoke, he looked at Lü Xiaocong suspiciously, "Didn't you read the books I gave you properly? This knowledge is also recorded in those counterfeit Night Tour newspapers."

Lu Xiaocong's hair stood on end, and he quickly tried to cover it up, "I know all of that, it's just that Linghuazhai is so prosperous that I didn't remember it when I saw it."

"Judging from what Uncle Lü is saying, the family has a complete collection of counterfeit Night Tour newspapers?" Li You asked.

Lu Bufan said modestly, "It's alright. The genuine ones are too hard to get, but I've collected about 80-90% of the counterfeits."

Lü Xiaocong was grateful to Li You for diverting her father's attention.

Li You said, "Wow, that's amazing! May I borrow it? I'll pay with spirit crystals."

Lü Bufan smiled and said, "No problem, Xiao Cong has some of them. You can borrow them from him first."

Lu Xiaocong, being quite sensible, immediately took out a copy of the Night Tour Newspaper and called Li You and Zhang Hai to read it together.

The cloud train arrived at the station shortly afterward.

The driver led the young fraudster off the bus.

Your colleagues at the station said enviously, "You're so lucky to have run into this guy. The bonus this time is probably going to be quite substantial."

The driver chuckled, "Hehe, I'll treat you to dinner after my shift ends."

My colleague said, "Good brother."

The coachman asked, "Why haven't the government officials arrived yet?"

He sent a message as soon as he captured the youth, so there should have been a constable arranged to take over the case long ago.

No sooner had he finished speaking than two people approached from the front.

The scene fell silent for a moment upon the arrival of the two.

Then came some incredulous whispers.

"No way? Are they those two? Am I seeing things?"

"Or is it someone's prank?"

"Anyone who dares to play pranks on those two will be ganged up on before they even show up."

As the two approached, these words silently vanished.

"Your... Your... Your Highness, the throne?" The driver stared wide-eyed in disbelief, stammering as he spoke.

Mi Bayue smiled faintly.

The attendant then came to his senses and quickly bowed to her.

The people around him were also startled by his movements. When they were about to bow, they, like the driver, were lifted up by an invisible force and were unable to perform the gesture of bowing.

Everyone immediately understood who had done this.

Mi Bayue said, "I heard that you caught a fraudster on your cloud chariot. We just happened to be here, so we picked up this clerk."

The attendant said, "Yes, yes, that's the person."

He grabbed the young fraudster and brought him in front of him, his eyes filled with suspicion and inquiry.

The Holy King himself has intervened; could this fraudster be some terrifyingly powerful being in disguise? Or perhaps a special individual?

The young man was completely bewildered, his eyes vacant and unfocused, experiencing the same self-doubt as the driver: Could it be that I possess some extraordinary talent that I haven't discovered, and that the Holy King and His Highness have taken notice of me?!

As a result, Mi Bayue didn't look at the young man much, and Mi Feixue didn't even glance at him once from beginning to end.

"Take him away." As soon as Mi Feixue finished speaking, a strange creature wearing a square hat appeared out of thin air, grabbed the young man, and then disappeared into thin air.

Mi Bayue looked at everyone and asked gently, "Are you all going to the Lingxi Society?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Mi Bayue smiled and said, "How about we go together since we're going the same way?"

Who would dare refuse? Who would actually refuse?
Everyone present echoed in agreement.

“Please,” Mi Bayue said.

Everyone was flattered. They had thought that Mi Bayue's offer to go along the way was just a polite remark, or that she would just casually use her power to pack them up and send them to the entrance of the Lingxi Society. They never expected that she would actually travel with them all the way!
Mi Bayue's throne aura and power were extremely well concealed, and no spiritual energy could be sensed from her body. She seemed like an ordinary person without any trace of cultivation, and her temperament was pure and gentle. She could bewitch people without them even realizing that she was actually a king.

Therefore, as Mi Bayue chatted with them along the way, talking about the construction of Linghuazhai or asking them about their views on the Eternal Dreamland continent, the group actually talked back and forth quite a bit, especially the children like Lü Xiaocong and Zhang Hai, who talked non-stop without any restraint.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Lingxi Society, Mi Bayue bid farewell to everyone, saying, "Good luck to you all."

This congratulation not only made the teenagers blush with excitement, but the adults were also unable to contain their excitement: this was a blessing from the Holy King, their child must be destined for greatness!
After saying this, Mi Bayue left with Mi Feixue. Only after they had completely disappeared did everyone belatedly realize that apart from their own group, no one else at the scene had noticed the arrival of Mi Bayue and Mi Feixue, otherwise things wouldn't have been so calm.

"So it seems that the Holy King and His Highness came here specifically for us?"

The group looked at each other, increasingly wondering if their ancestral script had somehow become extraordinary.

“Youyou, let’s go back now.” Unlike the others’ smugness, Mi Bayue’s special treatment made Qianzhi’s hair stand on end, as if the other party had discovered their identities as ‘people’.

Throughout this journey, they have been guarding Li You in a triangular formation, their muscles taut, ready to attack or escape at any moment, and they haven't relaxed even now.

Li You shook his head.

Chiori: "Yuyu, you have no idea how wicked those two people surnamed Mi are. I'm afraid she has already figured out our identities..."

“Hmm. They saw through it.” Li You’s words were startling.

Chiori grabbed her arm and prepared to leave.

Li You stopped her instead, "It's alright, Sister Qianzhi. That throne didn't look at me fiercely at all. Mi Feixue didn't seem to like me much, but she didn't seem to have any murderous intent either. Besides, look over there."

Qianzhi and the other two demons looked in the direction Li You pointed and saw several young men and children with obvious signs of demonization.

"Their taste...it seems a little familiar."

Li You's studies were much better than theirs. "I'm a 'demon cultivator.' A demon cultivator from Eternal Dreamland. Wherever the Night Wanderer Temple is located, there are laws that allow all races to coexist. The Spirit Rhinoceros Festival is also open to all races in the world, so it doesn't matter if my identity is exposed! After unexpectedly meeting the Holy King and Mi Feixue this time, I'm even more looking forward to entering the Night Wanderer Academy!"

Chihiro was still worried, but she didn't insist on taking Li You away. "But they came all this way on purpose, and I just don't believe them. I don't know what their purpose is."

Li You said, "Maybe Sister Qianzhi is overthinking it, or maybe they didn't come for us?"

Chiori: "Besides us, who else here is worth their trip?"

A demon's arrogance cannot be hidden no matter what. Even though Chiori fears Mi Bayue and Mi Feixue, she is still confident that they came for her sake.

His gaze swept over the surrounding crowd: the Lü Wuyong family, the Zhang Hai family, and the rest of them, whose highest cultivation level was... well?

Chiori was surprised to see a female cultivator in the crowd.

He was actually a high-level Yang Spirit Master from the human race.

Before it made a point of observation, it had no idea that there was such a high-level cultivator in this cloud carriage.

The female cultivator was beautiful, but her expression was cold. She was accompanied by three or four young men, one of whom was a girl who called out to her, "Elder Zhu."

August (smiling): Master, Master, look how filial your disciple is to you!
