Chapter 280: Chapter 202: Have I Become the Illegitimate Child of Fengdu Ghost Emperor?

Ghost Market.

Inside the brothel right opposite Xu Yang’s grocery store, Lord Cui frowned, “Little brother Xu Yang, are you calling this a tavern?”

“You can listen to music and drink, so why not call it a tavern?”

Xu Yang replied with a smile as he took out a few bottles of Maotai and two glasses, pouring a cup for Lord Cui himself.

He had dozens of leftover bottles from his wedding feast, which he had thrown into his storage space.

The brothels in the Ghost Market also served drinks and dishes, but Xu Yang couldn’t stomach their offerings. However, it was worth mentioning that the classical dance performed by the female ghosts in the Ghost Market was quite enjoyable to watch.

It’s just that the dancing female ghosts wore very little, their thin gauzes fluttering as they danced gracefully, revealing some areas, and getting blurred momentarily. If this dance was performed in the human world, it would certainly be censored.

At this moment, Lord Cui was already dressed in a green long gown.

His judge’s uniform was too conspicuous. Even those who hadn’t seen him before would have heard about it. If people recognized him and spread the word, how would he survive in the Underworld Palace later?

Drinking.

Listening to music.

Appreciating the enchanting dance, while seeming quite composed, Lord Cui was feeling a little anxious inside. Glancing at Xu Yang with the corner of his eye, he couldn’t help but grumble internally, “This kid is acting so haughty with me!”

“Is he aware of my intentions for coming to find him on my own initiative?”

As for Xu Yang,

He seemed at ease but was in fact, also complaining internally.

What’s wrong with Lord Cui!

You’re already in the human world, can’t you just speak up on your own?

I still have to open a haunted house… If it gets delayed further, the Ghost Market’s big gathering will be over.

But Xu Yang wasn’t worried, as Lord Cui was the one needing his help… worst case, he could just drink for a while, find an excuse to leave, and return to the haunted house matter, which could not be delayed. He had already asked Yue Qiluo to help arrange it. Once they cleared out the space and set it up a little, they could start trial operations.

About half an hour went by, and Lord Cui finally couldn’t sit still.

He took a sip of the drink and laughed, “Little brother Xu Yang, I’ve tried those weapons you burned for me last time. They are very powerful… This is a huge improvement for the underworld soldiers on the lower level of Fengdu City. I’ve already ordered Wang Ergou to form a squad specifically to train the underworld soldiers and cultivate their use of modern technology weapons.”

“Ah?”

Xu Yang pretended to ask, “Are they useful? If so, then I can rest assured… I’ve been worried that these modern technology weapons wouldn’t do much to improve the performance of the underworld soldiers in the Underworld Palace.”

“An ordinary squad of underworld soldiers can at least increase their combat capability by several times after equipping these weapons!”

Lord Cui naturally understood Xu Yang’s thoughts and replied, “There are just too few of those weapons; they can’t be popularized. Our Fengdu City still needs your generous support, Brother Xu Yang!”

“Of course.”

“I won’t let you help us for free. I’ve sent someone to Wrongful Death City, and it shouldn’t be long before they find news about your grandfather.”

Lord Cui only mentioned helping Xu Yang find his grandfather and didn’t bring up his conditions, but he patted his chest and promised Xu Yang one thing, “If you need anything in the future, little brother Xu, just ask! I won’t refuse as long as it’s within my abilities!”

That was enough.

Xu Yang raised his cup and said, “We’re family. Why bother with formalities? I’ve prepared a cartload of supplies for you, Brother Cui. I’ll help you burn them down when we get back… Cheers!”

Lord Cui clinked glasses with Xu Yang, raising it to his lips with a mental “MMP!”

After finishing his drink, he stood up and said, “Little brother, I can’t stay in the human world for long because of my busy work in Fengdu City… Next time you come to Fengdu City, I’ll definitely treat you to a good meal.”

That said, he transformed seamlessly.

Bang!

His figure vanished, and a token appeared on the table.

Xu Yang collected the token, slapped his buttocks, and prepared to leave…

“Ah!”

The dancing female ghost trembled and said coyly, “You’re so naughty, Sir, why did you spank me?”

Her delicate voice could make one’s bones quiver.

Xu Yang slapped her again and laughed, “Great dancing, great singing, and great playing… I’ll reward you all for it.”

He took out a handful of underworld notes, lit them on fire directly, and scattered them among the group of female ghosts.

This act caused the expressions of many ghosts in the brothel to flicker!

“A living person!”

In the lobby on the first floor, a fierce ghost licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed as he stared at Xu Yang, “He looks so handsome and alive, I bet he’s delicious…”

“Are you crazy?”

“Do you know who he is?”

His companion, terrified, hastily grabbed his clothes and tore them abruptly, saying, “If you want to die, do it alone. Don’t drag me into it. From now on, you and I are no longer brothers, cutting off all ties, never to contact again!”

Having said that, he turned and walked out of the brothel without looking back.

“???”

The remaining fierce ghost was left baffled.

Another ghost beside the fierce ghost mockingly said, “Do you know who that person is? He’s the Iron Hammer Daoist of Xi Xia’s famed underworld realm, Northwest Hammer King Master Xu!”

“What?”

The fierce ghost’s face turned pale, shaking violently, stuttering, “He is Master Xu?”

“Hiss!”

Gasps of cold air echoed simultaneously, and the temperature in the brothel seemed to rise a little. A ghost exclaimed, “Is that the Iron Hammer Daoist?” “What Iron Hammer Daoist? Do you have a death wish?”
