What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

“At least that’s how it looks from the group we’ve seen.” An Chen didn’t know how to answer.

Since ancient times, people who believe in these things have had many different opinions about the underworld.

While there are many similarities in everyone's statements, there are also quite a few differences.

"If I have to work again after this, I hope I can maintain my current level of intelligence..." Jiuge said slowly, frowning.

To become a spirit messenger, judge, or even a higher official, one certainly needs sufficient merit and a certain level of written examination skills.

"You're already thinking that far ahead?" An Chen was taken aback, unsure how to answer for a moment.

He and Jiuge haven't graduated yet; they'll probably live for at least another fifty or sixty years.

"..." Jiuge didn't say anything.

"And there are definitely some whose intelligence hasn't declined much, like Li En." Seeing Jiu Ge's troubled expression, An Chen comforted her.

This is probably related to a person's achievements and merits during their lifetime.

“That makes sense.” Jiuge let out a breath, her expression relaxing a bit.

She felt that by the time her life ended, she would have accumulated a great deal of merit.

“I’ll be with you then. You’ll be Black Impermanence, and I’ll be White Impermanence.” Jiuge fiddled with her right fingers, starting to plan for the future.

An Chen felt charmed by her cuteness.

He chuckled and continued teasingly, "You seem to be unafraid of spirits anymore."

"No! I'm scared!"

Upon hearing this, Jiuge immediately turned her head and said with great conviction.

"But things always turn around when they reach an extreme. Because I was so afraid, I actually relaxed, which was quite amazing." She shook her head slightly, looking puzzled.

"That might be why so many spirit coins were burned." An Chen raised his head slightly, analyzing inwardly.

Burning that many spirit coins, it's hard to imagine getting into trouble.

"That's it?" Jiuge pouted in dissatisfaction.

"What?" An Chen didn't understand what Jiu Ge meant.

Just as his brain began to think rapidly, the little piece of wood in his pocket started to heat up.

The scene before my eyes began to change, and everything became bizarre and surreal.

After about two or three seconds, An Chen and Jiu Ge saw a very bustling street.

Compared to the previously foggy and dark alleyway, this street was much more prosperous.

Besides the simple convenience stores, there are two large rows of small vendors on both sides of the street.

“An Chen, the people here seem to be a bit smarter than those over there,” Jiu Ge concluded, looking at the spirits coming and going on the road.

Although the pedestrians on this street also had somewhat blank stares, they were noticeably more alert than those in front of them.

“Hmm, and the piece of wood Meng Ninghua gave me is burning hot, so her enemy might be nearby.” An Chen took out a small piece of wood from his pocket and scanned the crowd.

"Exploding candy, soda noodles, chuchu meat, mouthwash soup, caterpillar coconut juice, snake gall coffee, toad milk tea... starting from 100 spirit coins."

"Masks, masks that change your face, can transform you into an animal or a human, and they're inexpensive and affordable."

"Water to enhance charm, water to enhance intelligence, water to enhance luck, water to promote career advancement and wealth, water to bless learning..."

"Buy my things, and you'll be reborn into a realm other than the animal or hungry ghost realms!"

"Medicine, all kinds of medicine, even medicine for all kinds of insects."

"Books for sale. Books from all eras are available, and they are in good condition. Feel free to come and take a look if you're interested."

"Red spider lily seeds are selling fast! Buy today and get 30% off!"

The vendors tried their best to hawk their wares in fairly enthusiastic voices.

Although their greetings were much colder than those from the mortal world, they were certainly more enthusiastic than the people they had met before.

"Well, let's go inside first." Jiuge's eyes looked a little strange.

Hearing the strange product names, all sorts of bizarre images popped into her head.

Things like spider lilies and books are fine.

What's going on with all these insecticides and strange foods?

Moreover, there were so many men and women buying things here and there on the roadside.

Within An Chen and Jiu Ge's field of vision, several women had already drunk the strangely colored water.

"Even if you want to drink or eat these things, you have to resist. Living people can't eat the things of the dead," An Chen said in a low voice, earnestly instructing him.

"Why would you think I would want to eat those things?" Jiuge asked incredulously.

No normal living person could stomach it, except for that amazing man called Bear Grylls that's all over the internet.

“Weren’t you strictly controlled since you were little? I subconsciously felt that you might think these weird things are edible.” An Chen’s hands gripped the wood tightly, his eyes darting around.

"I'm not mentally challenged!" Jiuge stomped her foot, her face full of dissatisfaction.

Although her family is indeed very strict and she has never tried many things, it doesn't mean she lacks even the most basic common sense.

Besides, things made from insects like caterpillars...

Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous.

"Beautiful lady and gentleman, would you like to buy masks?" the mask shop owner, wearing a strangely shaped mask, asked quietly.

“Stomping your feet means you have something you like and need.” He spoke slowly, and his pronunciation wasn’t very clear.

“We…we…” Upon hearing this, Jiuge was stunned for a moment.

She looked nervously at the masked shop owner, stammering slightly.

“We’ll buy it.” An Chen squeezed Jiu Ge’s hand and smiled slightly at the mask shop owner.

"Huh?" Jiuge was shocked.

"The time is ripe. The Phantom's side is doomed. We must believe in the power of the Spirit Coins." An Chen whispered to Jiu Ge in a mysterious tone.

"Which kind do you want?" The mask shop owner scanned An Chen and Jiu Ge, the color of the masks changing again and again.

“We have very beautiful masks, some are animal-shaped, and some are strangely shaped,” he said, pointing to the masks on his stall and introducing them slowly.

"What's the best face mask you have in your shop?" An Chen scanned the rough face masks, his face expressionless.

"The best... is very expensive..." The mask shop owner spoke slower and slower, his voice becoming longer and longer.

“We have plenty of money,” An Chen smiled again.

Jiuge's eyes widened.

There are still more?

"..." The mask shop owner fell silent.

He stretched out his hand and wrote a string of numbers on the yellow paper.

An Chen glanced at it, took out several large spirit coins from his pocket, and handed them to the mask shop owner.

"..."

The mask shop owner fell completely silent.

He let out a loud, beast-like roar, bent down, and pulled out two dough-like objects from the empty space in the middle of the stall.

"Please, both of you. Just stick these two skins on your faces, and you'll be virtually unrecognizable."

Chapter 314 My name is Black Impermanence, her name is White Impermanence (Seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)

As luck would have it, just as An Chen and Jiu Ge put the masks on their faces, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

"What are you doing?" The fat, big-eared owner of the Lucky Water stall roared with a smile.

"The money is yours, these things are mine, don't you understand?" A tall man dressed in a black robe, whose face was obscured, said, enunciating each word clearly.

"No." The boss was still smiling, but his tone was vicious.

"Even the dead wouldn't dare refuse to give me what I have. I possess a very powerful magic weapon that could obliterate you completely." The tall man chuckled dryly, his tone not very friendly.

Seemingly losing patience, he reached into his pocket, trying to pull something out.

Most passersby walked on numbly, but some with brighter eyes stopped in front of the Lucky Medicine Shop.

Jiuge and Anchen looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two saw that the other looked the same as before.

But in other people's eyes, they have changed completely.

"The wood is slowly pointing at him." An Chen picked up the wood again, and it began to spin slowly like a compass.

“What he said seems quite interesting,” Jiuge nodded.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this person.

Judging from the conversation, Meng Ninghua's enemy is probably connected to the guy An Chen has been looking for, to some extent.

"They are them, and I am me. I sell lucky water, and I'm not afraid of threats." In front of the tall man, the boss drank a large bottle of fly-infested lucky water.

"Our boss needs this, and I need it urgently." The tall man said anxiously, pounding his fist on the stall.

"I heard your boss is very rich, isn't he?" The boss smiled, spread his hands, and gestured for the tall man to pay.

"So what? We need to spend our money on important things right now." The tall man pulled a black dagger from his pocket, threatening to kill.

"You can't take my things," the boss said with a smile, his attitude firm.

"Then we'll have to take action." The tall man's eyes widened suddenly, and he threw a dagger over.

Perhaps the lucky water really worked; the boss tilted his head and successfully avoided the first attack.

He shouted and grabbed a stool, ready to smash it on someone.

Apart from An Chen and Jiu Ge, the onlookers quickly stepped back.

“I bought this for him.” Holding Jiu Ge’s hand, An Chen, who had put away the wood, took out several large spirit coins from his pocket.
