Chapter 427: Fengdu in the New Era: The Same Life as Death

Shi Ling and Yu Chen looked at each other, as if they had a thousand words to say, but everything seemed to be unspoken.

They can see through each other's cause and effect, and understand each other so well that they don't need to speak.

After leaving the Yu family's old house, Shi Ling turned back and sent the several ghosts intercepted from Wen Yuzhu into reincarnation.

These ghosts were all Wen Yuzhu's closest relatives during his lifetime, but they were hated by him because they did not save Wen Yuzhu when he was trying to escape from the fire. When Wen Yuzhu turned into a ghost and was killed by him, their souls were imprisoned and became puppets in his hands.

That night, Yu Chen quietly returned to the underworld while Old Man Yu was asleep.

Fengdu.

Tall buildings are rising from the ground, and there are signs everywhere saying "Under construction, keep out!"

A group of ghost messengers wearing yellow safety helmets are working at the construction site.

The signs at each construction site were different, and Yu Chen even saw one that was contracted by the Civil Engineering Department of Imperial Capital University.

After he entered the underworld, his home clothes turned into the ink-colored imperial robe with silver patterns that Si Yuan used to wear. When he walked in the Fengdu construction site, the ghosts were in awe of his power and avoided him.

Yu Chen walked straight through the construction site, and then was yelled at by the workers working above the site.

"Hey, who's that guy in the cosplay costume down there? Didn't you see the sign outside? Get out of here! Or you might hurt your soul and be reincarnated as a fool."

Yu Chen seemed not to hear and continued walking forward.

He felt that Fengdu had changed a lot.

The multi-story palaces and towering palaces in my memory have now all turned into modern buildings.

Along the way, he even saw replicas of the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Little Slender Waist Tower. The completed buildings even had a large LED screen with red and yellow text displaying the message: "Dedicated to building a new era Fengdu where 'death is the same as life.'"

Yu Chen: “…”

While he was silent, he was stopped by several ghost workers.

"Did you just die, young man? How come you don't understand ghost talk? This is a construction site, be careful of falling objects, get out quickly."

The uncle was about to push Yu Chen out when he was stopped by the person next to him.

They could feel that this guy was no ordinary person.

One of them, a student from the Department of Architecture at Imperial Capital University who had died a few months earlier, stroked his chin and said, "Why do I feel like he looks a little familiar?"

Another senior ghost engineer who had been dead for decades and had ended up in the underworld also nodded: "It looks familiar to me, too. I think I've seen it somewhere."

Suddenly, the two met the gloomy silver eyes that swept over them, and they suddenly remembered something.

"Junior Yu Chen!"

"Ghost King Si Yuan!"

The young and the old spoke almost in unison.

But the reaction was completely opposite.

The college student immediately smiled and stepped forward to shake hands, feeling like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

The ghost engineer took a half step back, clenched his fists and took precautions as if facing a formidable enemy.

Both of them were stunned when they saw each other's reaction.

"ah?"

"Even though he was wearing a cosplay costume, his silver hair, silver eyes, and face that could debut without makeup made him definitely the talented junior I met at the physics competition. I was stunned when he even turned down an offer to go directly to Imperial University for a doctorate."

"Impossible! His silver hair and silver eyes, as well as his attire, clearly show him to be Si Yuan, the Ghost King of the North. Back then, I went to the north with a few ghost officials to capture evil spirits and repair buildings destroyed by them. I personally witnessed him tearing apart the evil spirits that had fled into his territory."

The two men each insisted on their own opinion and both spoke with confidence.

Yu Chen nodded to the university student and said, "Senior Li Hua."
