Chapter 147: One-Day Tour of the Underworld
In the live broadcast room, gift special effects are flying and flower rockets are constantly appearing.
Xiaohong shyly hid behind Chen Yu, with only half of her pale face showing. Occasionally, she poked her head out and waved timidly at the camera, which caused another round of carnival in the barrage.
"Thank you 'All the Way North' for the rocket! Thank you 'Little Fairy Who Loves Spicy Noodles' for the spaceship!"
While Chen Yu skillfully thanked the audience for their gifts, he did not forget to promote the ghost veil in his hand.
"Family, this ghost veil is the latest technological product in the ghost world. It has a first-rate stealth effect. It's a must-have for home, travel, and even murder and robbery!"
Lin Qingxue sat aside, watching Chen Yu talking nonsense seriously, and couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.
Liu Ruyan was so excited that she kept pestering Chen Yu, insisting on buying him a ghost veil.
"Chen Yu, Chen Yu, I want one too! I want one too! How much? I'll buy ten!"
Chen Yu turned to look at Liu Ruyan, who was still holding the uneaten fairy peach in his hand, with peach juice flowing down the corners of his mouth.
"Fairy Ruyan, this ghost veil is a rare item, you can't buy it even if you have money!
Here’s what I’ll do you a favor and I’ll give you one.”
When Liu Ruyan heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "What help?
As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Chen Yu smiled mysteriously, "It's not a big deal, it's just..." He deliberately prolonged his voice to whet Liu Ruyan's appetite.
"What is it? Tell me quickly!" Liu Ruyan stamped her feet anxiously.
Chen Yu then said slowly, "Just help me run a trip to the underworld and deliver a courier."
When Liu Ruyan heard this, she was stunned, "The underworld? Express delivery?
Are you sure? "
Chen Yu nodded. "Yes, it's the underworld. I've received a system mission to deliver a document to the underworld, but I've been too busy lately and can't leave, so I'd like to ask you to make a trip there for me."
Liu Ruyan hesitated for a moment. The underworld was a dark and scary place, and she was a little scared going there as a girl.
However, in order to get the ghost veil, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Okay, I promise. But you have to go with me!"
Chen Yu shook his head. "No, I really can't leave. But I can let Xiaohong go with you."
Liu Ruyan looked at Xiaohong, who was floating in the air with a confused look on her face, and felt even more uneasy.
"She? A little ghost girl, can she protect me?"
Chen Yu patted Xiaohong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Xiaohong is very capable.
Besides, the underworld is full of ghosts, how could she be bullied?"
Liu Ruyan thought about it and felt that what Chen Yu said made sense, so she stopped insisting.
"Okay then, let her go with me. But you have to give me the ghost veil first."
Chen Yu took out a ghost veil from his storage bag and handed it to Liu Ruyan.
"Here, this is your ghost veil, keep it."
Liu Ruyan took the ghost veil, played with it lovingly, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Chen Yu turned to look at Xiaohong again, "Xiaohong, you follow Fairy Ruyan to the underworld and protect her. Got it?"
Xiao Hong nodded, "I understand, sir."
Chen Yu pulled out a neatly folded piece of yellow paper from his storage bag and handed it to Liu Ruyan. "This is the pass to the underworld, and it also includes the courier's address. Keep it safe."
Liu Ruyan carefully took the yellow paper and put it into her storage bag.
Everything was ready. Chen Yu opened the passage to the ghost world and sent Liu Ruyan and Xiaohong into the ghost world.
"Family, Fairy Ruyan and Xiaohong have already set off for the underworld. We wish them a safe journey!"
Chen Yu said to the camera.
In the live broadcast room, the audience sent blessings such as "Have a safe trip" and "Be safe".
Chen Yu closed the live broadcast and stretched, "Finally, I can take a break."
He turned to look at Lin Qingxue, "Qingxue, shall we go for a drink?"
Lin Qingxue smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Lin Qingxue and Chen Yu came to a restaurant in the fairyland and found a seat by the window.
Chen Yu ordered some special snacks from the fairyland and asked for two pots of fairy wine.
"Qingxue, do you think I've been particularly lucky recently?"
Chen Yu said as he poured wine for Lin Qingxue.
Lin Qingxue took a sip of the immortal wine and said with a smile, "Yes, you have subdued the female ghost, obtained the ghost veil, and sold Lao Ganma to the immortal world. You are simply a lucky star."
Chen Yu chuckled, "Actually, this is all a reflection of my strength."
Lin Qingxue smiled and shook her head, "Just blow it."
The two of them ate and chatted in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Suddenly, Chen Yu's system prompt sounded: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a new task - delivering a courier to the underworld!
Please go to the underworld and hand over a document to the King of Hell. Mission Reward: One-day trip to the underworld and a random magic weapon.
Chen Yu perked up when he heard the system notification tone. "Express delivery from the underworld?
This mission is interesting!"
Lin Qingxue asked curiously, "What mission?"
Chen Yu told Lin Qingxue the content of the mission.
Lin Qingxue said with some concern: "The underworld is a dark and scary place, you'd better not go there."
Chen Yu waved his hand. "It's okay. I'm very brave. Besides, I have Xiaohong to protect me."
He turned to look out the window and found that Liu Ruyan and Xiaohong had not returned yet.
"I don't know if they have reached the underworld." Chen Yu muttered to himself.
He decided to go to the ghost world first to see the situation.
Chen Yu and Lin Qingxue left the restaurant and came to the entrance to the ghost world.
Chen Yu took out his Yin-Yang eye sunglasses and put them on. The world in front of him suddenly became gray, and all kinds of strange ghosts floated in the air.
He took Lin Qingxue's hand and walked into the passage to the ghost world.
Passing through a dark and narrow passage, Chen Yu and Lin Qingxue arrived at the ghost market.
The ghost market is still bustling with various hawking sounds.
Chen Yu looked around, looking for Liu Ruyan and Xiaohong.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure walking out of a shop.
He was a tall man wearing a black robe and a black mask on his face, so his features could not be seen clearly.
"It's him!" Chen Yu recognized the man at a glance. It was Wang Qiang, the disciple of the Ghost King Sect whom he met in the Ghost Market before.
Wang Qiang seemed to have noticed Chen Yu as well. He stopped and stared at Chen Yu coldly.
Chen Yu was shocked and quickly pulled Lin Qingxue to hide behind a stall nearby.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qingxue asked puzzledly.
Chen Yu whispered, "That disciple from the Ghost King Sect has appeared again. I'm afraid he'll cause me trouble."
Lin Qingxue followed Chen Yu's gaze and saw Wang Qiang.
"He seems to be looking for something." Lin Qingxue said.
Chen Yu nodded, "I also think he seems to be looking for something."
Wang Qiang wandered around the ghost market, but didn't seem to find what he wanted, so he turned and left.
Chen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from behind the stall.
"Let's go." Chen Yu said to Lin Qingxue.
The two continued to search for Liu Ruyan and Xiaohong in the ghost market.
After searching around, I still couldn't find any trace of them.
Chen Yu was a little anxious, "Is nothing going to happen to them?"
At this moment, the system prompt sounded again: "Ding!
The host has arrived at the entrance to the underworld. Please enter the underworld to complete the mission."
Chen Yu was stunned. "The entrance to the underworld? Where is it?"
He looked around and found a black stone door in a corner of the ghost market with the words "Underworld" written on it.
"It seems this is the entrance to the underworld." Chen Yu said.
He pulled Lin Qingxue to the stone gate, took a deep breath, and pushed the stone gate open.
The stone door slowly opened, and a cold breath blew in.
Chen Yu and Lin Qingxue walked into the stone gate, and the world before them suddenly changed.
They came to a gray space filled with floating ghosts, gusts of cold wind, and the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
"Is this the underworld?" Lin Qingxue grabbed Chen Yu's hand with some fear.
Chen Yu nodded, "Probably."
He took out his cell phone and opened the live broadcast room.
"My family, my family, I've arrived in the underworld! It's eerie and spooky here, the atmosphere is eerie, the faint of heart beware!"
Chen Yu said to the camera.
In the live broadcast room, the audience posted comments such as "666", "The anchor is awesome", and "The anchor should be careful".
While Chen Yu was broadcasting live, he took Lin Qingxue to wander around the underworld.
They walked across the Naihe Bridge and saw the Wangchuan River flowing under the bridge. The water was as black as ink and emitted a foul odor.
On the bridge, an old woman in white is serving soup to the passing ghosts.
The old woman had gray hair and a wrinkled face. She held a large spoon in her hand and kept scooping soup from a large pot and handing it to the passing ghosts.
"Is this the legendary Meng Po?" Chen Yu looked at the old woman and said in a low voice.
"Is this the legendary Meng Po?" Chen Yu looked at the busy figures on the bridge and lowered his voice, fearing that he would disturb this "old employee" of the underworld.
People were coming and going on the Naihe Bridge, or to be more precise, ghosts were coming and going. A cold wind blew, blowing up clouds of paper money ashes. The air was filled with a faint smell of sulfur, mixed with the aroma of unknown incense, which made Chen Yu frown in some discomfort.
Lin Qingxue also held Chen Yu's arm tightly, as if this was the only way for her to find a sense of security in this gloomy environment.
The old woman on the bridge, Meng Po, was scooping soup one spoonful at a time and handing it to the waiting ghosts.
Her movements were mechanical and her eyes were empty, like a programmed robot that had been repeating the same movements day after day for thousands of years.
Chen Yu noticed that after each ghost took the soup, they would drink it up without hesitation, then walk down the Naihe Bridge with a dull expression and disappear into the gray mist.
"Is this Mengpo soup really that magical?" Chen Yu looked at the ghosts with dull expressions after drinking the soup, his heart full of curiosity.
He took out his phone and reopened the livestream. "Family, family, do you see this? This is the legendary Meng Po!
There is also Meng Po soup. It is said that if you drink it, you can forget everything in your past and present lives and be reborn as a human being!
Today, the host will take you to experience this magical Mengpo soup! "
The live broadcast room was instantly flooded with comments. "The host is crazy! He even dared to drink Meng Po soup!"
"Host, what if you forget about us?" "Host, you drank Meng Po soup, what will happen to Fairy Qingxue and Fairy Ruyan?"
"Come on, host, if you lose your memory, who will lead us to show off and fly?"
Chen Yu looked at the screen full of comments and smiled smugly. "Don't worry, my family. I'm a very lucky anchor. A mere bowl of Meng Po soup can't do anything to me!"
After saying that, he pushed through the queue of ghosts and walked straight to Meng Po.
