Chapter 53 - 50: The Underworld People’s Own Temple Fair
Me?
Straight male chauvinist?
Captain Qin looked baffled.
He looked at Wu Hen and Mingyi huddled close together, suddenly realizing that he might have made a terribly wrong decision.
Mingyi was already sharp-tongued enough, frequently throwing around the term "trash."
And Wu Hen, this kid, was obviously a quick-witted type with a sharper tongue than a knife. Pairing him with Mingyi, how would the rest of the team survive!
Captain Qin didn’t dare speak further and obediently became a tool to hold the umbrella for the young master and miss.
"What else are you good at apart from your mouth?" One-eyed Sister Fei Ying couldn’t stand Wu Hen and said unceremoniously.
"You can’t say that. If Wu Hen hadn’t pointed out the presence of ghosts, we probably wouldn’t have had time to react." Mingyi held a different view.
...
Upon entering Yinzhou, eight people died.
Captain Qin and Captain Cai stood there with bitter expressions.
Especially Captain Cai, the eight people who died were all his team members.
However, the rest of the team wasn’t as pessimistic as Captain Cai because they had all witnessed Mingyi’s power!
Thunder Bright level!
With such formidable combat power, their survival rate significantly increased!
In no time, everyone unconsciously got closer to Mingyi, knowing she was the only one in the team who had made it out of the Yin Ants alive!
Wu Hen was very protective.
Everyone who approached Mingyi inexplicably would be scared off by Wu Hen’s fierce demeanor!
"Our...our crowns...are fewer now." Little Stutter whispered.
Whether it was eleven or thirteen people, they’d still need to light two Spirit Crowns.
Their remaining lifespan was directly cut in half.
Reluctantly, they gritted their teeth and moved forward.
Ahead lay the even more prosperous ancient sights of Yinzhou. It felt almost like being in ancient White City if not for the pervasive oddness. Bustling crowds, flowing traffic, vendors selling calligraphy, attracting customers, street performers, festive gong beaters...
"There’s a big gathering ahead, and many Spirit Awakeners too." White Peacock Man said.
"There are also many ghosts, it seems like an event is taking place." Captain Qin said.
"It’s probably the Yinzhou Temple Festival." Cai Jinlin added.
"They hold temple fairs here too?" Everyone was puzzled.
Wandering around aimlessly was a waste of time. Since so many ghosts and Spirit Awakeners gathered in the central ancient city, there must be a reason.
Unlike the places they had passed, the central temple fair area was not "temporarily set up;" it stood out abruptly in a large empty space...
Initially, they were worried about not having enough time to participate in the so-called underworld activities. Unexpectedly, joining these events granted them a Death Exemption Token!
Finally, a sigh of relief!
With the promise of Yuan You, tempting rewards, and extended lifespans, how could they not cheerfully mingle with the underworld people?
The temple boy had already left.
Wu Hen’s gaze never left him.
"Damn, he didn’t reveal anything."
"Who’s your Yin Lord, watching us? Show yourself and face my Holy Father! Enough with this nonsense!"
A truly powerful existence of the Desert Dust hid in the shadows.
Wu Hen knew there must be a Venerable Desert Dust level entity in Yinzhou, stronger than Zai Wu and at the Heavenly Light level!
In other words, Wu Hen had two plans to solve the Yinzhou Otherworldly Dust:
First, follow the path set by the puzzle-maker and solve the puzzles logically.
Second, find the puzzle-maker and beat them to death!
"Bam~~~~~~!" A drum sounded, quickly drawing most people’s attention to a Bone Pavilion.
In the Bone Pavilion, a woman in a crimson wedding dress sat at the window. Her curvaceous back made many ghosts weep with beauty. Even sitting in a Bone Pavilion, her delicate and smooth jade-like back was filled with enchanting beauty!
"Throwing the embroidery ball~~~"
"Throwing the embroidery ball; whoever catches it will be the groom~~~"
The gong beater, dressed festively, loudly called out, gathering everyone beneath the bride’s Bone Pavilion.
"Look at what the bride is holding!" Suddenly, White Peacock Man pointed excitedly at the embroidery ball!
The bride held the ball, but it was simply adorned with some embroidery flowers. The core of the ball was a crystal-clear Yuan You!
"It’s a high-quality Yuan You!" Mingyi also looked surprised.
This embroidery ball was indeed luxurious!
As expected, after seeing the true face of the ball, a large group of Spirit Awakeners who had unknowingly entered this place gathered under the bride’s Bone Pavilion. They eagerly reached out their hands, hoping to catch the ball.
"That bride might be an Evil Spirit. Perhaps when she turns around, she’ll be a skeleton face!"
"She isn’t an Evil Spirit; she’s an omen!"
"True, as long as she can get me out, she’s a Living Bodhisattva!"
The gong-beater ghost showed an honest smile, gesturing to all who wanted the ball to stand on the flower platform.
Soon, the flower platform built from bones was filled with people. They craned their necks, staring at the bride’s slender back, waiting for her to throw the ball.
"Wu Hen, you’re good at pleasing girls and sturdy. Why don’t you go and get a wooden stick?" Mingyi nudged Wu Hen and joked.
"That won’t do. I’m all about pure love. Besides, what if you get jealous?" Wu Hen declined.
"Why would I get jealous of a ghost?" Mingyi snapped, glancing at the others. Seeing that none of the men were willing to join in such a thrilling activity, she decided, "They never said girls couldn’t participate. I’ll go!"
Mingyi’s beautiful eyes filled with determination. As she glanced at the other team members again, it felt like she stamped the word "trash" heavily on the entire team!
