Chapter 721: As they say, if I don't go to hell, who will?

Although Qin Feng’s Spatial Ring contained many fine wines and delicacies, in his opinion, desserts were the most suitable offerings to give to the other party.

After all, women are always unable to resist sweets, and the younger the woman, the more so.

Of course, Bai Wushuang did not belong to this category, as she was the type who would say “the bunny is so cute, should it be braised or steamed?”.....

The little loli picked up the exquisite pastry and examined it up and down with a curious expression in her eyes.

This pastry was made by the chef of the Star Seizing Tower, boasting perfect color, fragrance, and taste. Its surface was also enveloped in a faint greenish glow.

This was the protective force of Bai Su’s life energy attached to the worldly object. Without this shielding light, the worldly object would be corrupted by the dense demonic qi and death aura the moment it entered the Ghost Realm.

Driven by curiosity, the Ghost Lord finally placed the pastry in her mouth.

At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly thought of something. Although the other party appeared as a little girl, strictly speaking, she was an old woman who had lived for an unknowable amount of time. Would she really be interested in desserts?

As he was filled with trepidation, he saw the little girl’s eyes light up and heard a “mmm~” sound coming from her mouth.

Although the little girl was the ruler of the Ghost Realm, capable of commanding the winds and rains within it, the Ghost Realm was ultimately too barren. Apart from ghosts and undead, there was hardly any decent food to speak of.

The things she ate most often were the corpses of those ghosts, which could hardly be compared to the delicacies of the mortal world.

Furthermore, these sweets were enveloped in Bai Su’s life force, which held unparalleled allure for the denizens of the Ghost Realm. As a result, the little girl found herself utterly unable to resist these treats.

In no time at all, the entire pile of desserts had been completely devoured by her.

“Is there more?!” she asked in a crisp voice.

Qin Feng rubbed his hands obsequiously, “Yes, yes, yes. But Ghost Lord, could you please release my father first?”

The Ghost Lord glanced over, and since Father Qin had previously broken through the first layer of the restriction, she had specially reinforced the second layer. At the moment, Father Qin was unable to move his body, let alone speak or communicate telepathically.

Without much hesitation, after the little loli waved her sleeves gently, Father Qin regained control of himself and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Qin Feng then took out more sweets from the Spatial Ring, piling them up before her.

These two, one old and one young, were clearly big shots in the Ghost Realm. Qin Feng was buttering them up not for his own benefit, but to ensure his father’s safety and comfort in the Ghost Realm.

Qin Feng sighed quietly, wondering when his father would finally understand the sincerity behind his actions.

Seeing that the little girl and Meng Shuang were thoroughly enjoying the treats, Qin Feng finally spoke up. “I have to admit, the reason I came to the Netherworld Realm is to pluck the Farshore Flower from the other side of the Yellow Springs in order to deal with an immortal and indestructible monster that has invaded the mortal realm. If you two would be so kind, I hope you could help me.”

At these words, Father Qin was startled, not expecting Feng’er to still be thinking about this matter. The Ghost Lord and Meng Shuang also turned to look at him.

Meng Shuang spoke in a serious tone, “Do you know the dangers of the Yellow Springs region? Even I have to be extremely careful going there. If you were to go and the slightest mishap occurred, you would be doomed beyond all redemption.”

“Furthermore, the Farshore Flower, though growing in the Netherworld Realm’s Yellow Springs, has a unique nature – only the living can pluck it. Since you have already died, how could you possibly...”

Her words trailed off.

Meng Shuang’s beautiful eyes widened as her powerful senses detected Qin Feng’s unusual state. “Your soul has been brought here by someone while you were still alive?!”

Qin Feng did not choose to hide it and simply nodded in acknowledgment.

“My lord, he...” Meng Shuang started to say something, but was cut off by the little girl raising her hand.

“If the divine laws of the Netherworld Realm were not in such a state of disrepair, your soul would have dispersed the moment you arrived. Is risking such danger for the safety of others truly worth it?”

‘To be honest, I didn’t come down here willingly in the first place, but was forced to...’ Qin Feng thought inwardly, once again mentally greeting all the women in the families of senior brothers Shen Li and Sun Qi. But outwardly, he said with a great righteousness, “Since time immemorial, who among us has not faced death? If this task must be undertaken, why not by me?”

He took a deep breath, tilting his head 45 degrees to gaze up at the sky, with an air of lament for the world. “As they say, if I don’t go to hell, who will?”

Upon hearing these words, the Ghost Lord and Meng Shuang were moved. Could there truly be such a selfless and heroic person in this world?

“Feng’er...” Father Qin opened his mouth, but the words of dissuasion never left his lips. Instead, he expressed a look of contentment.

Meanwhile, in the dimly lit cave, a figure sat cross-legged on a lotus-shaped stone, gently stroking the head of a strange beast and murmuring, “How admirable!”
