Underworld entries, starting with ghost stories.

The dark clouds are gathering, and it looks like a heavy rain is coming tonight.

Such a dense cloud could not suppress the fiery enthusiasm within the mountain stronghold.

Wherever he goes, Wu Qing is surrounded by people like a celebrity.

He found himself enjoying this thrill; was this what it meant to rise above others?

Although he had only just taken his first step, the deep satisfaction he felt made him want to climb to higher levels.

He waved his feather fan, enjoying the enthusiasm of the crowd as they watched him with jubilation and excitement, and at the same time, he began to crave even more attention.

A "ding" sound came from beside my ear.

[Strangeness Level 4, Ferocity Level 19, Evil Charm Level 149, Mystery Level 5, Infectivity Level 23.]

—Upgradeable!

Wu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I can upgrade again.

After leading everyone to victory, he wandered around waving his fan, a wicked smile on his face, and sure enough, he gained a lot of charm points.

Why did the infectivity rate also rise to 23?

The infectivity is increasing little by little, but he still doesn't understand where the increase begins.

At that time, driving Kong Fengjiao insane only yielded 3 points of infectivity; the rest were all bizarre values.

Why did I suddenly get 23 points?

Wu Qingdian is upgrading.

All the numerical values ​​transformed into an invisible radiance and flew into his body.

But I didn't feel refreshed.

—Upgrading! (First attribute: Charm Value; Second attribute: Infectivity!)

—Upgrade complete!

— "Current level is Ghost Story Lv3! Obtained the Underworld entry 'Green Snake, White Snake (Note: Unexpected, right? You are actually Xu Xian!)'"

Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? Actually, I'm Xu Xian... What the heck?

I'd like to study the description of this new term.

On the other side, a fast horse came galloping by, with a female soldier riding on it.

The female soldier rushed to his side and leaped off her horse: "Qing-ge'er, the young lady said..."

Wu Qing, holding a feather fan, raised his head and gave her his usual wicked smile.

The female soldier blushed instantly. The usually carefree person suddenly became coy, rubbing the sash around her waist: "The young lady said, said that the King's Palace is holding a victory celebration banquet, please, please come over, young master."

Wu Qing said, "Okay! I'll be right there."

The female soldier lowered her head, but secretly looked up at him; the dark clouds in the sky couldn't hide the blush that reached her neck.

She whispered, "Mmm," and shyly ran away.

"Hey, your horse!" Wu Qing grabbed the horse she had dropped.

"Ah! Okay, okay." The female soldier quickly ran over again, took the reins, and said, "Thank you, young master."

Wu Qing thought to himself, "She called me 'Brother Qing' when she came over a while ago, how come she's calling me 'Young Master' now?"

The female soldier glanced at him again, wanting to mount her horse, but she was too embarrassed to do such an indecent thing in front of him, so she led the horse away.

Wu Qing walked towards the direction of the Great King's Palace.

Because Hebei was teeming with rebel armies, the local county governments, after suffering a major defeat, found it difficult to organize another encirclement and suppression campaign in a short period of time.

The lower-class martial artists and common people who sought refuge here will also come to seek refuge because of the strength that Wuji Village has shown this time.

Upon entering the Great King's Hall, Dou Xianniang, Shan Ailian, Cen Fuzi, Dou Bin, Dou Kui, and others who were already seated there all looked at him.

The area outside Mingming Hall was dim due to the gathering of dark clouds, but inside the hall, there were lanterns and a fire in the stove.

But at that moment, they seemed to see the light.

Dou Xianniang exclaimed in surprise, "Qing-ge'er, why do you seem even more handsome?" She was straightforward and said what she thought.

Wu Qing smiled and sat down, fanning himself as he said, "Really? It's still the same!"

"Is it because you led everyone to this great victory, Qing-ge'er, that you now possess an indescribable charm?"

Dou Xianniang smiled and said, "It's just that I feel that even though nothing has changed, my overall energy and spirit have improved a lot, and even my smile is more infectious."

Dan Ailian sat down beside him and looked at him.

When Wu Qing looked back, her face flushed slightly.

She felt the same way.

I don't know if it was the aura brought by this miraculous victory, but I felt that he had an indescribable charm compared to before, and even his smile could infect people.

The others in the hall couldn't help but nod in agreement.

At the victory celebration banquet, a lot of roasted meat was served.

They even took out the spices that they usually treasured and were reluctant to use.

Wu Qing doesn't drink alcohol, so he's holding tea.

These days, tea is seasoned with all sorts of condiments, making it taste like soup, though the flavor is alright.

"Let's toast to Qing-ge'er first!" Dou Xianniang laughed heartily. "Although I thought we would win this battle, I never imagined we would win so beautifully."

Wu Qing held his feather fan in front of his chest and bowed slightly: "I dare not! It's mainly because Miss is a good leader and trusts her people."

"If it weren't for the fact that the young lady knew the enemy outnumbered us, yet still dared to take the initiative and personally lead the team to attack the enemy, even with all our schemes, we would have been unable to carry them out."

Dou Xianniang said, "The world is in chaos, and there are countless people who have the courage to fight the government to the death. I am just one of them."

"If it weren't for Qing-ge'er's skillful command, what would have been the use of risking our lives? The fact that everyone in the stronghold was safe is all thanks to the advisor."

Wu Qing was about to speak again.

Someone nearby, showing some understanding, raised their glass and said, "Then let's all toast Miss and Brother Qing."

The others followed suit and raised their glasses. Dou Xianniang and Wu Qing then stopped arguing and, amidst the congratulations, raised their glasses together and drank heartily.

Next, everyone ate large chunks of meat and drank large bowls of wine, enjoying themselves immensely.

Outside the palace, a torrential downpour finally began.

Raindrops fell heavily on the palace, and although the world was noisy, it was also shrouded in gloom, making the sky outside much brighter.

"Qing-ge'er is good in every way. He's handsome, cultured, and capable. There's just one thing he's not good at."

Dou Kui, who had drunk too much, patted Wu Qing on the shoulder, "Don't drink! Alcohol is a good thing, you'll know after a few more drinks, how about a bowl first?"

Wu Qing laughed and said, "No need, no need!"

He would go and investigate that night why he was Xu Xian.

I am Xu Xian, so where is my Lady White Snake?

Dan Ailian had also drunk some wine; her face was flushed, just like her pink and white high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and she seemed a little tipsy.

"Why don't you have some, Qing-ge'er?" She actually took out a wine pot and poured some for Wu Qing.

Wu Qing realized that the female soldier in front of him had changed her address from "Qing Ge'er" to "Young Master," while he himself had changed his address from "Young Master" to "Qing Ge'er."

When Shan Ailian was about to pour him a drink, the others immediately started making a fuss, and the whole room was filled with noise.

Although Wu Qing was determined, he ultimately couldn't resist the young woman's playful urging to drink and the encouragement of the crowd, and ended up drinking a large bowl of wine.
