Another World Arrives: The Emperor's Identity is Exposed by His Daughter

Chapter 284 Is the Meng Po Soup a Shocking Scam?

Many strange things have appeared beside a bridge that seems to have no end.

The Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain certainly noticed it.

Just as the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain was about to say something, she noticed that Su Qianqian had already run towards the bridge.

The Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain immediately followed Su Qianqian's steps.

Several tens of seconds later.

Surprisingly, there was also a stall near the bridge.

However, it seemed like they were cooking something at the stall.

These strange things surrounded the small stall.

When the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain saw the words on the stall, she realized that it was a limited-time big discount on Meng Po soup!
"A bowl of Meng Po soup costs 79,999 yuan in ghost money, and comes with a serving of yin-nourishing instant noodles."

The Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, somewhat at a loss.

However, the viewers in Tiandao's live stream were all astonished.

"What? The Meng Po soup is on sale for a limited time?"

"What the hell is this?"

"Let's not talk about the Meng Po soup anymore, this promotional tactic sounds so familiar."

“Our supermarkets often have these kinds of promotions, such as giving away laundry detergent when you buy appliances.”

"Even the eerie world has this kind of routine, but it's much better than Pinduoduo. Everyone gets a cut, and after tens of thousands of cuts, no one loses any blood."

The viewers in Tiandao's live stream stopped discussing and instead watched Su Qianqian's live stream.

They wanted to figure out what was going on.

At this moment, Su Qianqian pointed at the big pot and asked, "Strange sister, what is this strange old lady doing?"

Su Qianqian only saw the strange old woman in front of the big pot, stirring with a spoon.

Moreover, some strange ingredients were added during the mixing process.

"I'm making soup," the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain said succinctly.

Su Qianqian asked again, still curious, "Do you want to make soup?"

The Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain nodded and said, "Yes, it's for making soup."

"Is it good?" Su Qianqian also wanted a bowl.

After a moment of contemplation, the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain said, "Young master, Xiaoqian has never drunk this Meng Po soup either. It is said that only by drinking Meng Po soup can one cross the Naihe Bridge."

The Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain did not explain in detail to Su Qianqian.

He felt that he had explained things in too much detail, and Su Qianqian couldn't understand it.

The Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain is a mysterious figure in the bizarre world, and naturally knows something about Meng Po's soup in the underworld.

Although she had never drunk the Meng Po soup, she knew that only after drinking it would she not be lost or wandering on the Naihe Bridge.

But a bowl of Meng Po soup is too expensive, costing a whopping 79,999 pieces of ghost money.

That's close to four million Heavenly Dao Coins.

Isn't this bridge toll ridiculously expensive?

The strange creatures surrounding the stall also noticed Su Qianqian, the human girl.

However, they did not seem to intend to harm Su Qianqian.

"What would a human little girl be doing in the underworld?"

Why bother with all that?

"That's right, you can tell at a glance that she comes from a poor family."

"Meng Po, hurry up, my wife is about to give birth."

"Meng Po, isn't the soup ready yet?"

These strange occurrences are starting to urge things on, as if they can't wait any longer.

Although this is a strange world, there are still humans among them; it's just that in this strange world, the strange dominates.

Just as Earth is dominated by humankind.

In the eyes of the eerie beings, humans are merely weak and insignificant beings.

Just like the humans on Earth, who believe that all things in the universe are meant to nourish them.

At this moment, the Meng Po soup is finally ready.

These strange creatures rushed to buy the Meng Po soup.

Is there a free bowl of Meng Po soup (soup of oblivion)?

A strange creature with withered branches growing on its head asked in a trembling voice.

"There's no such thing as free Meng Po soup in this world, nor is there any such thing as a free lunch," Meng Po replied in a weathered voice.

"Get lost, you poor bastard, don't waste everyone's time."

"What a damn poor bastard! Why are you even queuing if you have no money!"

Get out of my way!

The other strange creatures in line behind them all hurled insults at the creature.

The strange creature with withered branches on its head went berserk and began to snatch the Meng Po soup.

He actually managed to snatch a bowl of Meng Po soup.

So simple?
Why are these strange and unexplained robberies happening?
This eerie creature, its head covered in withered branches, gulped down a bowl of Meng Po soup and then quickly fled to the Naihe Bridge.

But on the Bridge of Helplessness, this eerie creature swayed and staggered, as if it were bewitched. No matter which way it went, it looked just like a pitiful creature wandering in loneliness, solitude, fear, and confusion.

"The Meng Po soup must contain one drop of tears of birth, two coins' worth of tears of old age, three parts of bitter tears, four cups of tears of regret, five inches of tears of longing, six cups of tears of illness, seven feet of tears of parting, and my eight tears. Only the soup that can be served by me, Meng Po, is called the Meng Po soup."

Meng Po had just finished speaking.

Su Qianqian actually walked away.

She suddenly lost interest in the Meng Po soup.

Even the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain couldn't understand why Su Qianqian didn't want to drink anymore.

"Young master, what's wrong?" asked the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain.

Su Qianqian said, "Dad said tears are bitter, so I won't drink them."

The Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain finally realized that Su Qianqian had mistaken Meng Po soup for tears.

The Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain knew that the Meng Po soup was made from tears, but she knew it wasn't bitter.

Because of the myriad aspects of life, each strange creature's taste of the Meng Po soup is different.

It could be sour, bitter, or spicy.

"little Master!"

Just as the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain was about to explain, she saw Su Qianqian walking towards the Bridge of Helplessness.

"Weird sister, let's go somewhere else."

Su Qianqian stood on the Bridge of Helplessness and called out to the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain.

This scene shocked the eerie people queuing up to buy Meng Po soup.

Even Meng Po found it hard to believe.

Su Qianqian stood on the Bridge of Helplessness, but surprisingly, she did not wander on the bridge like a lost soul.

Meanwhile, the viewers in Tiandao's live stream started discussing it.

"We just saw that eerie creature on the Bridge of Helplessness, like a lost soul, drifting back and forth. Why is Su Qianqian alright?"

"Do you think it's possible that Su Qianqian is still young and her mind is free of distractions, so she doesn't have any extraneous thoughts?"

Is it possible that the Meng Po soup is actually a fake medicine?

"What do you mean? Does it mean that if you believe, it exists, and if you don't believe, it doesn't? Do you believe it or not, it's up to you?"

Most of the viewers felt there was something strange about this Meng Po soup, but they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

But the eerie was something he firmly believed, and he had witnessed it with his own eyes.

If you don't drink the Meng Po soup, it's impossible to cross the Naihe Bridge.

Upon hearing Su Qianqian's cries, the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain resolutely stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness.

But the moment the Ghost Queen of Lonely Mountain stepped onto the Bridge of Helplessness, she froze in place, completely still.

They seemed to have lost their souls.

It looks exactly like that eerie creature with its head covered in withered branches.

"The eerie sister!"
