The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 143 Xia Yu Enters the Underworld

[Underworld]

Xia Yu came to the underworld under the identity of Yan Lan, and imitated Yan Lan, walking towards the direction of Huangquan Road arrogantly.

After Xia Yu arrived in the underworld, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons, who were looking for Yan Lan in the mortal world, also came back, and brought back two ghosts.

The surroundings were filled with negative energy, and the ghosts who died unjustly were crying and making a fuss, each of them clamoring to return to the world of the living.

The Forgotten River is filled with many ghosts who are unwilling to be reincarnated. Their limbs are all locked with iron chains, their bodies are torn apart by fish, and they are groaning in unbearable pain.

Xia Yu walked to the beginning of the Yellow Springs Road. The roadside was full of red spider lilies. She was fascinated by them: Are these the flowers that were nourished by the master's blood?

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Ghosts led the two ghosts to the underworld. When they passed by Xia Yu, they saw her concentrating on looking at the flowers and couldn't help asking, "Princess, are you looking at the flowers? It's been hundreds of years, haven't you seen enough?"

"Bullhead, how do you talk to the princess?"

The Horse-Faced Guard was worried that Xia Yu (Yan Lan's face) would be angry, so he reached out and pushed the Ox-Headed Guard, smiling at Xia Yu: "Princess, don't listen to him. The underworld is your home, and the flowers in the underworld are also your flowers. Enjoy them slowly!"

At this moment, if it was Yan Lan, she would probably be able to solve the problem with just a murderous look, right?
Xia Yu imitated Yan Lan's eyes and looked at the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monster.

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon didn't react much, as they had gotten used to it over the past few hundred years. On the contrary, the two ghosts they were escorting seemed to be frightened by Xia Yu's eyes, and felt a chill on their backs, and they all pulled at the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon.

"Brother Niu, let's... go!"

"Brother Ma...let's go...let's go."

Work is important. Seeing this, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon followed them and walked forward.

Halfway through the journey, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Ghosts looked at the two ghosts walking in front of them with surprise, and they deeply suspected that they were frightened by the princess!

"What are you looking at me for? Come on, I'm in a hurry to drink the 'Meng Po Soup'! I'm already dead, so you should at least let me drink a sip of hot soup before I reincarnate, right?"

"Brother Ma, hurry up and don't miss the auspicious time for our reincarnation..."

"…Do you think this is a wedding? And what about an 'auspicious time'…"

"You're still talking about me, what kind of lame excuse is that?"

The two ghosts dragged the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Ghost onto the Yellow Springs Road, and they started arguing with each other as they talked.

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Ghosts had encountered ghosts who were so active on their way to the underworld before, but it was rare to see one as active as them.

After the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons escorted the two ghosts away, Xia Yu looked around and saw no one... Aha, there were no ghosts around, so she squatted down on the side of the road and reached out to pick two of the most colorful red spider lilies.

As soon as he got the flower, the Black and White Impermanence suddenly passed by from behind Xia Yu. They were going to the mortal world to catch evil spirits again.

The Black and White Impermanence look relatively cold and serious, and are not as easy to talk to as the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Xia Yu turned around and saw them. To be honest, in terms of appearance, they were indeed more handsome than the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monster.

The Black and White Impermanence, who should have just walked away, saw the two red spider lilies in Xia Yu's hand, felt something was suspicious and suddenly stopped.

In the underworld, red spider lily is Yan Lan’s favorite flower. It is the “love token” between her and Yue Yang.

The red spider lily is beautiful and will never wither while it is still there, but it will die soon if it is picked.

Therefore, she would never pick the red spider lily, nor would she allow any ghost to touch it.

Even her lover Yue Yang only picked the first red spider lily and gave it to her without her knowledge for the first time.

Although Yan Lan was very happy at that time, the "picking flowers" situation never happened again afterwards.

The Black and White Impermanence floated in front of Xia Yu. They first called out "Princess" politely, and then set their eyes on the red spider lily in Xia Yu's hand. "Princess, why did you pick the flowers today?" Black Impermanence asked Xia Yu expressionlessly, as if he was a little suspicious of her.

Why does this sound a bit like a "question"?
Why pick flowers?

Isn't it said that this underworld is her home, and the flowers are hers, and she can do whatever she wants?
Xia Yu used the same "fierce" look as before, looked at the Black and White Impermanence, and asked, "I picked them when I wanted to, do I have to explain to you?"

"Please do as you please, Princess." Bai Wuchang replied.

Although they were suspicious, they couldn't see anything wrong when they got closer, so they had to assume that the princess had changed her mind and didn't ask any more questions.

The Black and White Impermanence turned around and floated away without even saying goodbye.

Xia Yu held two red spider lilies in his hands and turned them in front of his chest, looking at the backs of the Black and White Impermanence as they walked away, wondering: In my opinion, the Black and White Impermanence are not bad looking. How come Yan Lan didn't like any of them when they were together day and night? Ghosts and ghosts, isn't that a good match? Why should I have to endure the pain of "taking medicine to get rid of the evil spirit"?

"Princess Princess..."

"Princess……"

"Princess……"

? ?
Xia Yu turned around when she heard the voice and found that the ones calling her were the ghosts in the Wangchuan River.

When they saw that the princess had finally picked the red spider lily, they thought that she had finally forgotten Yue Yang, and each of them wanted to replace the position of "the son-in-law of the King of Hell".

Several ghosts who thought they were good-looking called Xia Yu desperately and actively recommended themselves.

Thinking back to the beginning, they jumped into the Forgetful River without hesitation because they had lovers they did not want to forget, hoping to wait for their lovers to be reincarnated together.

As a result, what they finally waited for was either that their loved ones were reincarnated with someone else, or that their loved ones also decided to wait for someone else to be reincarnated with them.

Xia Yu walked across the Yellow Springs Road step by step, and then walked onto the Naihe Bridge. She looked down at the ghosts who called her, without responding to them.

"Princess, are you willing to start over? What do you think of me?"

“Princess, what about me? I promise, I won’t be like that fool Yue Yang and abandon you to reincarnate. I will always be by your side!”

"Princess, I have watched you in the Forgotten River for hundreds of years. As long as you agree, I am willing to go up and accompany you for the rest of my life... No, for eternity!"

A hint of sympathy unconsciously revealed in Xia Yu's eyes. In order to hide her identity, she had to walk down the Naihe Bridge in aloofness without answering them a word.

Meng Po saw Xia Yu coming from afar and asked with a smile, "Is the princess back?"

"Yeah." Xia Yu replied.

She thought that Meng Po's "back" meant Yan Lan "came back from the underworld", but she didn't know that Meng Po was asking: Have you rested well? Are you back to work?

Xia Yu walked slower, secretly memorizing Meng Po's "technique" and "portion" of serving soup, and then walked over to the stall and started cooking directly.

This was the second time Xia Yu had seen Meng Po in her memory. The last time was when she was reincarnated.

Meng Po is still the same, just like what the ancient book said, old and ugly...

If she were young and beautiful, "Meng Po Soup" would not be so scary in the minds of those ghosts.

However, there is one thing Xia Yu has never understood.

If the ghost lady had that kind of "beautifying" medicine, why didn't Meng Po buy it earlier but only now?
