The male supporting character was actually myself.

The dead Murong Jiangchen will wander the wilderness like other suppressed and banished evil spirits, eventually vanishing into nothingness.

In any case, he could never return to the human world. He told his employer that the evil spirit had been cast into hell and would never be reincarnated, so there was no difference between the two.

But the problem is...

Why did the underworld messengers deliberately mispronounce names last night?

Murong Jiangchen has been dead for a long time, and even the fallen evil spirits have been suppressed and driven to the underworld by him. No matter how the yin and yang are separated, they would never capture the wrong soul!

Could it be that Murong Jiangchen, whom he had suppressed, turned the tide in the underworld?

Or perhaps he accused the murderer in the underworld and went to confront him? Otherwise, why would the underworld officials who were supposed to capture Murong Liangchen's soul have kept it away for so long without it returning?

Wang Baoyi was filled with unease; he needed to know the situation and background of the guy who had been suppressed immediately!

If we really cause a mess, we need to find a way to fix it as soon as possible...

"Is everything ready?" He was anxious inside, but outwardly remained calm and composed. After setting up the magic array in the room, he repeatedly instructed, "It's your first time going to the underworld, so it's inevitable that you're curious. Remember not to cause trouble. Ghosts are more difficult to deal with than humans. Even though you all possess pure yang energy, most ghosts would be afraid and avoid you. But you are still too inexperienced."

"I have two matters to inquire about at the Underworld Office first. Please wait outside while I finish my business, and then I'll show you around."

"Yes! Grandmaster Uncle!"

The four young Taoist masters, two men and two women, responded with great enthusiasm.

Wang Baoyi emphasized some precautions, then activated the magic array and the group disappeared from the room.

"Hiss~" Murong Liangchen stretched and climbed out of the flower bushes. Last night was just too damn fun!

The female ghost ladies were incredibly flexible and displayed a variety of amazing moves; they were truly top-notch. After the revelry, only his back needed a good rest. He felt dizzy and disoriented, and for a moment, he couldn't even remember how long he had been playing.

"Brother, your arrangements are absolutely fantastic." He lazily dragged his weak legs into the lobby. "I've come all this way, I'd like to go out and explore a bit more."

Although he was exhausted and wished he could just lie in bed and sleep forever, Murong Liangchen's remaining rationality told him that he had to go out and explore more and not just listen to Murong Jiangchen's side of the story.

“Sure, it’s rare that you’re in the mood.” Jiang Chen naturally didn’t refuse, and seeing his spineless look, he couldn’t help but laugh: “I’ll have someone drive us around, so you can also enjoy the scenery of the underworld.”

A luxurious and stylish car, more eye-catching and technologically advanced than anything in the human world; a polite and respectful driver—as Murong Liangchen slumped in the comfortable seat, he was momentarily disoriented, unsure whether it was reality or a dream.

People on horseback, in sedan chairs, and in cars weave through the antique buildings. At first glance, the scene is all-encompassing and bizarre, making it hard to reconcile with the eerie and terrifying scenes that are often associated with the human world.

Jiang Chen glanced at his watch; there was still an hour before Murong Liangchen was automatically returned to his place after being pushed out by the laws.

“There is no distinction between day and night in the underworld. Ghosts don’t need to sleep or rest as long as they have enough energy, so this is the real city that never sleeps!” He pointed to the bustling dance halls, nightclubs, and bars by the roadside and laughed, “Ghosts know how to have fun better than humans. Anyway, they’re dead, so as long as their souls aren’t completely annihilated, they can do whatever they want. It’s much more exciting here than the human world. Want to take a look?”

Having witnessed the unique decadent and extravagant atmosphere of the underworld, Murong Liangchen really wanted to go in, but his legs were sore and he had no strength, so he waved his hand weakly and said, "Let's do it another day. I barely slept last night and I can't take it anymore."

It's strange, but when I'm playing, I'm full of energy and don't feel anything, but when I rest, I feel more and more tired.

Ha, when you're having fun, you're so focused on the fleeting pleasure of yin and yang that you don't realize anything. But after it's over, you'll be haunted by evil spirits that drain your yang energy. No wonder you're exhausted.

Thinking this to himself, Jiang Chen knew he couldn't tell the truth, so he smiled and said, "After all, you're just a living soul, not a real ghost. It's normal that you're not used to it since you're new here. Since we're not going to crowded places, let's find a quiet place to eat something good to replenish our energy. I'll also treat you to some delicious food from the underworld."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Has the Truth Been Exposed?

While Murong Liangchen was still lost in thought, Jiang Chen had already used reliable channels to call him six beautiful and charming female ghost sisters, each with a completely different style and temperament from ancient times to the present.

"A gentleman as handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world. I have never seen such a handsome man before. May I ask your name, sir? And would you please allow me to play a tune for you?"

"Young man, you're quite the player! You're probably too proud of those ordinary beauties in the mortal realm, aren't you? Your soul has ventured into the underworld for a taste of something new, guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience!"

"Come on, handsome, help me unbutton my shirt..."

…………

The professional female ghost they hired at a high price lived up to expectations, quickly bewitching Murong Liangchen.

"A living soul entangled with a ghost? Ha, just wait for your yang energy to leak out and your yin energy to entangle your body." Jiang Chen sat in the hall, slowly drinking tea, listening to the sweet voices that occasionally came from the room, which had been specially decorated with various props. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Time passed second by second, but the sky in the underworld remained unchanged, and one could only rely on a clock to tell the time.

Some people are surrounded by beautiful women, some are happy, and naturally, some are sad.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Wang Baoyi, who had no desire to rest, washed up early and prepared to lead the children to the underworld.

He could sense that Murong Liangchen's captured soul had not yet returned, and coupled with the eerie and sarcastic words of the underworld messengers, he had a bad feeling.

Could it be that something really serious has happened and the truth has come out?

When "Murong Jiangchen" approached him promising a large sum of money to get rid of the evil spirit, he became suspicious when he saw the evil spirit's appearance.

The evil spirit looks exactly like "Murong Jiangchen"!

Moreover, since they're only targeting him and trying to take his life, based on past experience, it's likely that the one who's alive killed the other and turned into a demon. As for who among them is Murong Jiangchen, he doesn't care at all. It's only natural for a celestial master to suppress a demon; it's just that they've skipped some of the tedious and unnecessary procedures.

What trouble can a little brat cause?

If you really follow all those rules and regulations set by the Yin and Yang realms, and go through all those long and complicated procedures, you'd have to make several trips back and forth to the Yin realm every time you catch a ghost to find out the truth. How many jobs could you get in a year?

When embarking on the path of spiritual practice, everyone knows the four most important words: wealth, companions, Dharma, and environment.

The fact that wealth is listed first shows its importance. Clothing, food, housing, transportation, expanding one's network, magical artifacts, and elixirs all cost money.

To improve one's cultivation level, one needs more money!

Therefore, without a second thought, he followed his usual practice and, having been paid, directly suppressed and banished the evil spirit. He had heard the employer repeatedly demand that he be cast into the eighteen levels of hell forever, something he'd heard far too often and knew how to phrase it beautifully and convincingly.

After all, it was just a little kid. He was burdened with the highest level of suppression talisman of Listening Wind Valley, and he had no money, no connections, and no one to burn incense and worship him. How could he possibly escape?

The dead Murong Jiangchen will wander the wilderness like other suppressed and banished evil spirits, eventually vanishing into nothingness.

In any case, he could never return to the human world. He told his employer that the evil spirit had been cast into hell and would never be reincarnated, so there was no difference between the two.

I'll also treat you to some delicious food from the underworld."

Chapter Twenty-Seven: This Place Is Not Suitable for Lingering

"Let's go eat? Sure, sure!" Although Murong Liangchen was very tired, he didn't feel hungry. But since he was already here, he naturally had to try everything.

The luxury car drove smoothly to a stop in front of a luxurious hotel that was even more magnificent than a palace.

"Brother, this is one of the most famous restaurants in our Jiangyin Realm. Doesn't the architectural style look familiar? The owner specially invited the top designers from the Kyoto Yin Realm to design it for him!"

"What did you say? That ghost from so long ago hasn't been reincarnated yet?!"

"It's not that long ago. Our Jiangyin Realm has a slightly weaker historical foundation. If you have the chance to go to a first-tier city, you'll know that it's just like the human world. There are plenty of ancient people from hundreds of years ago."

Some haven't been reincarnated yet for various reasons; some are doing well in the underworld and don't want to give up their careers here; and some top talents are so talented that even the local underworld officials are unwilling to let them go, so they hold nominal positions in the underworld as a living signboard for their own territory.

I heard this is called... something like that plan again?

The driver chimed in at just the right moment, "Sir, that's called the Underworld Talent Introduction Program. Underworld offices across the country are practically fighting tooth and nail to recruit talent. There's also an investment attraction program, all to encourage people like you who are capable of running large businesses to develop and drive the economy."

Murong Liangchen's eyes widened in disbelief; this was absolutely shocking!

Listen to these words, it's simply... Then he thought about it again. So many high-tech talents have come down early, and ideological and technological reforms are imperative. What's more, a ghost can stay here for hundreds or even thousands of years, without aging, death, fatigue, or exhaustion. Wouldn't its work efficiency be extremely high?

Taking everything into account, it's perfectly reasonable that the underworld is more advanced and modern than the mortal realm!

Inside the exquisitely decorated private room, a variety of delicious dishes were served. Murong Liangchen picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. First, the flavor of the ingredients spread in his mouth, followed by an indescribable feeling of comfort that reached the depths of his soul. This feeling was so blissful that it was almost unbearable, leaving him with an unforgettable aftertaste...

Seeing him squint his eyes and enjoy the food after just a couple of bites, as if he were addicted to drugs, Jiang Chen's smile deepened.

Ghost food is an extremely yin substance, specially designed to replenish the energy of ghosts. Once a living soul with a balanced yin and yang aura ingests too much of it, it will be difficult to regain balance once the yin energy enters the body!

"Brother, how does it taste?"

"Delicious!" Murong Liangchen squinted, still savoring the comfort deep in his soul, and mumbled, "Compared to the food here, what I usually eat is simply garbage!"

"Delicious food is good, but don't overindulge." Jiang Chen gently pressed down on his hand, which was about to pick up his chopsticks, and advised him, "After all, it's food from the underworld. Just try it once. Eating too much will easily cause indigestion. If you get sick and uncomfortable when you go back, it won't be worth it."

Enveloped in a wonderful feeling, Murong Liangchen, still savoring the experience, pushed away his hand and laughed, "I know you're worried, but I'm a grown man, I'm not sure how much I can eat. Don't worry, I'm young and strong, even if I get sick for a couple of days, it's nothing. Being able to taste the feeling of being in heaven is worth it!"

Immersed in the intense feeling of addiction, Murong Liangchen quickly cleaned up all the plates on the table.

“It’s almost time. We shouldn’t stay here any longer. I’ll take you back now.” Jiang Chen glanced at his watch, stood up and smiled, “You must remember my words. When you get back, ask around and find other celestial masters to take a look. Don’t be fooled by Wang Baoyi.”
