Chapter 428: Chapter 298: Did We Deceive Black and White Impermanence to End Lu Shan Sect’s Hometown?
“Master Xu can cook too?”
The villa door opened.
Yue Niang still wore her plain white dress, exuding a mature feminine charm from head to toe.
Xu Yang walked in, closed the villa door behind him, and chuckled: “Of course I can cook. Although my culinary skills may be a bit lacking, it’s no problem to cook something for you.”
“How can I trouble Master Xu?”
Yue Niang’s face turned red at Xu Yang’s laughter, hurried into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started preparing a meal for Xu Yang.
Xu Yang wouldn’t let this opportunity pass.
He followed her into the kitchen, hugged Yue Niang from behind, and asked, “Yue Niang, what you just said about giving yourself to me still counts, right?”
“Ah…”
Yue Niang stammered, “I… I didn’t say that, Xiao Miao did!”
“You said you had no other way to repay me… The next line after that should be giving yourself to me, shouldn’t it?”
Xu Yang’s hands started to get frisky.
Yue Niang shuddered, but did not resist. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes.
And then, everything naturally fell into place.
Two hours later.
Yue Niang was nestled in Xu Yang’s arms, softly saying, “Master Xu, are you not going back tonight? Will my little sisters be jealous?”
Jealous?
Weren’t they the ones who pushed me into this situation?
Xu Yang laughed and said, “Although we haven’t officially held a wedding, we have already consummated our relationship. It’s only natural for me to spend the night with you. When you and I are together, Shishi and the others are too happy to be jealous. Don’t worry!”
After resting for a while, Xu Yang got up again.
Yue Niang was surprised, “Master Xu, aren’t you going to rest for a while longer?”
“Why would I need to rest?”
Xu Yang boasted, “Bring on whatever tricks you have, I’m ready for anything!”
It was not until dawn that Xu Yang got out of bed.
Just in time, Liu Shishi’s phone rang, saying, “Husband, have you and Yue Niang got up yet? I’ve prepared breakfast, come and eat together?”
Yue Niang was a little shy, not knowing how to face Liu Shishi and the others.
Xu Yang smiled and said, “From now on, we’re all family. What’s there to be shy about?”
He pulled Yue Niang with him and returned to the villa, only to see Liu Shishi and the other girls looking at them with a half-smile, making Yue Niang, who was already a little embarrassed, blush even more.
Xiao Miao, in particular, turned into a fading shadow and leaped into Yue Niang’s arms, speaking human words and chuckling, “Elder sister, didn’t you feel great last night?”
“Xiao Miao!”
Yue Niang was in a hurry, covering Xiao Miao’s mouth, and angrily said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Xiao Miao’s mouth was covered, so she couldn’t speak.
Her abdomen vibrated, producing sound, “I’m not talking nonsense, it was you who called out last night, don’t believe me, ask Mengxi, Shishi and the others.”
Yue Niang: “……”
Holy shit!
This group of little rascals were eavesdropping!
Although she had lived for more than three hundred years, this kind of thing was still her first time, and her face flushed immediately, then she turned into a shadow and vanished.
Xiao Miao stuck out her tongue and said, “Did… did I do something wrong?”
Yun Mengxi chuckled, “It’s nothing, Yue Niang will get used to it eventually. Shishi, save some breakfast for Yue Niang. Later, we’ll go over with her as sisters. It’s perfectly normal, nothing to be ashamed of. We can always let her listen to me and my husband’s coffin feet tonight.”
Xu Yang: “……”
What the hell!
Other people eavesdrop from behind walls, but you do it from coffin feet… That’s unique!
However, thinking about it, it seemed exciting enough.
After having a bowl of goji berry and lotus seed porridge, Xu Yang took out his cell phone and called Wang Hou.
After explaining the situation, Wang Hou rejoiced, “Great, I’ll be in Wu City immediately.”
Twenty minutes later, Xu Yang sensed Wang Hou’s presence, and as he went out of the villa, he saw a figure rushing through the sky, quickly approaching, and landing in front of him.
Wang Hou asked, “Xu Yang, where are Black and White Impermanence?”
“They’re in the hotel I arranged for them.”
Facing the tired Wang Hou, Xu Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Minister Wang, has something happened?”
“Fengdu City has disappeared!”
Wang Hou sighed, “I’ve been investigating for two days, but I haven’t found any clues… Fengdu City is one of the strongest among Da Xia’s ghost cities, and the master of Fengdu City is inscrutable. Now that Fengdu City has suddenly disappeared from the human world, it’s very suspicious and unpredictable.”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang recalled the words of the master of Fengdu City, and said with a smile, “Minister Wang doesn’t need to worry. Maybe Fengdu City is just hidden. That Fengdu City Master is quite affable, and his ideas coincide with mine, so I’m sure he won’t do anything that would harm the human world.”
Wide-eyed, Wang Hou wondered, “You know the Fengdu City Master?”
“Sort of.”
Xu Yang said, “I’ve met him twice. He said he had important matters to attend to in the Underworld Palace and might not return for three years. He asked me to help keep an eye on Fengdu City.”
He took out the jade talisman that the master of Fengdu City had left behind, carefully sensing it, and vaguely “saw” a huge ghost city surrounded by darkness, just like the other ghost cities, located in an alternative time and space.
Obviously.
The master of Fengdu City had also moved Fengdu City into the “Hidden Heaven Secret Realm”.
Furthermore, Xu Yang could feel that underneath the ghost city, there seemed to be something like a “pipe” piercing into the void, extending towards the northwest direction.
This might be the “channel” that the master of Fengdu City had mentioned.
After explaining the situation, Wang Hou finally relaxed.
Xu Yang curiously asked, “Minister Wang, is the Fengdu City Master very strong?”
Wang Hou pondered for a few seconds, then nodded, “I have visited various major ghost markets. Among the nine ghost markets in Da Xia, such as Xi Xia Ghost Market, its city master is not in the human world, and the rest of the markets are mostly like this.”
“Only the master of the Fengdu Ghost Market has always been stationed in the human world.”
“At the beginning of the revival of the spiritual aura, he came out of Fengdu Ghost City, cooperated with the official authorities, and rebuilt Fengdu Ghost City.”
Wang Hou sighed and said, “After I became a Land Immortal, I invited Grandmaster Chengming and the current Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain to visit the master of Fengdu Ghost Market. At that time, he waved his hand and sent us out of Fengdu Ghost City, a hundred miles away!”
The means to send the three strongest people in the Da Xia today out of a hundred miles with a wave of his hand, what kind of power is this?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang’s expression couldn’t help but change.
Between his eyebrows, there was even more a hint of loss.
Noticing this, Wang Hou curiously asked. Xu Yang sighed and said with a bitter smile, “The master of the Fengdu Ghost Market once promised me that I could go to him for help when I was in trouble… If I had known he was so powerful, I would have taken him with me to fight the Lu Shan Sect, and directly uprooted them.”
“!!!”
Wang Hou stared at Xu Yang for a long time without speaking, “Didn’t you save the world in your last life? How are you connected to all these great powers?”
He complained a few words.
Wang Hou said again, “Let’s go and see Black and White Impermanence first. If we can truly cooperate, it will indeed be a win-win situation for both our Spirits Management Bureau and their underworld ghost officials.”
Xu Yang did not directly go to see Black and White Impermanence.
Instead, he reserved a private room in “Guofu Food Hall” in Wu City and then gave Ma Xiaotiao the location, so that Ma Xiaotiao could invite Black and White Impermanence to come over.
When Ma Xiaotiao arrived at the hotel room, he found that Black and White Impermanence hadn’t slept all night, and the two brothers were sitting on the sofa watching TV.
On the TV, there was an Island Nation’s variety show with some explicit content, but Black and White Impermanence were watching it with great interest.
Ma Xiaotiao explained his intention, and Black and White Impermanence quickly got up to leave the room. However, as they were about to leave, Black Impermanence suddenly said, “Wait… Old Bian, the person we’re going to meet is the current top expert in Da Xia, carrying the fate of the nation, and the founder of the Spirits Management Bureau. We need to dress more formally.”
White Impermanence, Xie Bian, nodded and said, “What you said makes sense, Old Fan.”
He transformed in an instant.
His white tracksuit disappeared, replaced by a white hat with the words “Seeing you brings wealth” on it. He wore an almost-floor-length white robe and held a white mourning staff while wearing a white Soul-binding Chain around his waist, his tongue sticking out more than a foot long.
These mourning staffs and Soul-binding Chains were not “imitations” used by minor demons, but genuine artifacts. Their level was probably even above that of top-tier Daoist artifacts, already reaching the level of “immortal artifacts”!
As for why he had his tongue sticking out?
That’s because White Impermanence, Xie Bian, had died by hanging.
As a hanged ghost, wasn’t sticking his tongue out very appropriate?
Black Impermanence, Fan Wujiu, also transformed instantly, though he turned entirely black. He wore a black hat with the words “World Peace” written on it, and his originally fierce face became even fiercer, with a hint of blue fangs.
“Little master, lead the way!”
White Impermanence spoke, startling Ma Xiaotiao back to his senses.
Ma Xiaotiao, who had regained his senses, took a deep breath and made a “please” gesture, saying, “Lord Hei, Master Wang, please.”
Upon leaving the hotel,
Ma Xiaotiao hailed a taxi and invited Black and White Impermanence to sit in the back seat as he took the front seat himself.
The taxi driver was curious about Black and White Impermanence’s attire.
Even while driving, he couldn’t help but take a few more glances through the rearview mirror, smiling and asking, “Are you two cosplaying as Black and White Impermanence? Where did you buy these props? They look quite realistic… I won’t lie to you, my son also loves cosplay.”
“Cos? What’s cos?”
Black and White Impermanence didn’t know such a popular term.
Ma Xiaotiao explained, “Lord Hei, Master Wang, it’s not ‘cos’, it’s cosplay… It roughly means acting out a role.”
“Acting, huh.”
Black Impermanence said, “We’re not acting, I am Black Impermanence.”
The driver, of course, didn’t believe it and laughed, “My son always says he’s Ultraman, too.”
Ma Xiaotiao: “…”
He whispered, “Sir, that’s called Ultraman.”
Upon arriving at the entrance of the restaurant,
Ma Xiaotiao got out of the car and escorted Black and White Impermanence to the private room, saying, “Master, Minister Wang, I’ll go back first.”
“Wait.”
Xu Yang stopped Ma Xiaotiao and said, “I’ve ordered five kilograms of the hand-grabbed from the kitchen. It should be ready by now. You can pick it up at the cashier.”
Ma Xiaotiao respectfully left.
Xu Yang stood up and introduced them to Wang Hou.
“Minister Wang, these two are Lord Hei and Master Wang.”
“Lord Hei, Master Wang, this is Minister Wang of our Da Xia!”
Wang Hou bowed his fists and said, “Lord Hei, Master Wang, I’ve long heard of you, it’s an honor to finally meet!”
Black and White Impermanence also bowed their fists, saying “An honor” too.
After exchanging pleasantries and taking their seats, Xu Yang snapped his fingers to call the waiter to serve the food and wine. At the dining table, they first made small talk for a while before getting straight to the point.
The cooperation between the Spirits Management Bureau and the underworld ghost officials was mutually beneficial.
Neither side needed to give up anything, but both could get what they wanted… The underworld ghost officials could capture more spirits and gain more merit, while the Spirits Management Bureau sought nothing more than world peace and the protection of the people from malicious ghosts.
Soon after.
Both parties reached an agreement.
Wang Hou asked, “You two came from the underworld and don’t have a place to stay in the human world yet, do you?”
“In that case, I’ll ask the Wu City branch to prepare a house for the two of you later. Firstly, it’ll provide you with a place to stay, and secondly, you’ll need a place to meet with the ghost officials you’re commanding in the human world…”
“As for our Spirits Management Bureau, we also have a branch in Wu City. I will arrange for some comrades from the local branch to liaise with you so that if there are any ghosts causing trouble, they can notify you immediately.”
Black and White Impermanence gladly accepted after some polite words.
As a middleman, Xu Yang…
Actually benefited quite a lot.
With the unfathomable strength of Black and White Impermanence guarding Wu City, he was even safer.
He even considered whether he should try to persuade Black and White Impermanence to take down the base of the Lu Shan Sect?
