Chapter 74 No Food or Drink



Bai Ningning grabbed a random ghost and sat down at her seat, saying, "Let's keep playing. I'm pretty lucky."

After she stood up, she subconsciously patted the dust off her body, but then she remembered that she was in the state of a soul and could not be stained by dust at all.

She said loudly, "Zhang Xi is the temporary patrol team leader. Please obey orders, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Bai Ningning then said to Zhang Xi, "For the time being, maintaining public order in Districts 5-9 will be your responsibility. You can decide on your own course of action. If you really can't resolve something, you can contact me."

After Bai Ningning finished speaking, she pulled Chu Ze up from the chessboard and took him away.

Chu Ze was still reluctant to part with his flying chess piece - after struggling for so long, he couldn't get a single piece out. Wasn't his luck too bad?

Chu Ze was in low spirits and complained, "Did you cheat on that dice?"

“…Don’t make excuses for your bad luck.”

Chu Ze sighed and muttered a few words. Seeing that Bai Ningning ignored his mumbling, he asked, "Did you plan this all along? Why don't you take down the banner?"

[Yes, yes, this woman's heart is so dirty]

[Don't be fooled by her innocent appearance, she's actually quite scheming.]

Bai Ningning pretended not to hear and asked, "I'm going to go shopping in District 10. Do you want to come with me or wait for me at the door?"

Chu Ze: "Why do you ask specifically? Of course..."

He was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered the bad memories of entering District 10 with her. He was silent for a while and then stopped.

Bai Ningning walked forward on her own: "I'll be out soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."

After Chu Ze waited for Bai Ningning to disappear from his sight, he looked around, caught a ghost at random, and asked, "Have there been any ghosts causing trouble recently?"

“No, no…”

"Oh, go ahead."

Chu Ze felt somewhat relieved, but also somewhat bored.

Thinking about whether to sneak into District 10 for fun.

District 10 is not scary, but Bai Ningning is scary.

The look on her face showed that she was going in to cause trouble.

District 10 was the same as before, barren and scorched earth.

Bai Ningning realized that since she entered the door, there was not even a ghost here.

This suited her perfectly.

She walked around the 10th area for a while and didn't feel suffocated or uncomfortable like last time. Compared to the previous areas, this area was just a little darker, no other difference.

There is still resentment and evil spirit, but it is much weaker than before.

Occasionally she could hear some noises; it was the ghosts hiding from her.

She stayed there for a while, until the surroundings were completely quiet, and then she tried to summon the purple ripples representing the eighteen levels of hell as she did last time.

But unfortunately, there was no result.

Or maybe it was because things had been going so smoothly during this period that she had the illusion that learning anything was easy.

She left the barrier and found Chu Ze sitting at the door playing dice.

Bai Ningning frowned: "Are you really shocked?"

Chu Ze put away the dice and stood up: "It came out so soon?"

Bai Ningning shrugged with some regret: "There's nothing I can do. I can't find a single ghost in there. They all go around me."

The corner of Chu Ze's mouth twitched: "You really deserve a beating when you look like this."

When he looked up again, he suddenly found that the banner in the sky had disappeared. He asked, "When did you put it away?"

Bai Ningning took out the Four Seasons Chronicle of the Underworld. The cover was still the sky of the underworld, and one could vaguely perceive clouds slowly floating.

She said, "It's in charge of the heavens, and you're in charge of the earth. Isn't that a good division of labor?"

Chu Ze: "...You are quite good at assigning tasks."

When the two of them returned to the King of Hell's Palace, they changed their route, hoping to take the opportunity to visit some less frequently visited streets in the underworld.

Chu Ze asked, "Aren't you afraid that Zhang San might escape from the battlefield and be reincarnated?"

Bai Ningning: "Whatever. His name is Zhang Xi."

She didn't expect Zhang Xi to be of any use, he was just a messenger.

Among the souls that came to rescue him, most of them were small leaders of the Ghost Alliance; it didn’t matter if there were none, they would notify these leaders.

As long as the task is delivered, everything will be fine.

As long as the current Ghost Alliance does not take the initiative to cause trouble, she will turn a blind eye - anyway, she will catch a few more leaders to take charge later.

But if they take the initiative to cause trouble, then we can just randomly grab a small leader and throw him into the frying pan to make an example of him.

Bai Ningning's wishful thinking went smoothly.

Chu Ze patted her shoulder and said, "Although I want you to look less serious, you shouldn't smile so much that it scares people."

Bai Ningning touched the corner of her mouth: "Did I smile?"

Chu Ze: “…”

The two returned to the Hades Palace again. Bai Ningning was puzzled: "Is it my illusion? Why do I feel like the residents are avoiding me too?"

Chu Ze yawned lazily and explained, "I set a rule before. Don't get close to me when you go back to the Hades Palace. It's easy to get infected with evil spirits."

Bai Ningning lowered her head and checked herself to see if there was any remaining evil spirit. After all, there were still a few ordinary ghosts in the King of Hell's Palace.

Chu Ze pushed her inside and said slowly in a long tone: "You don't have it on you, don't look. First, you didn't beat the ghost, second, you didn't get close to Wangchuan, and third, you can purify the evil spirit yourself."

Bai Ningning: "Huh? Yuan Muyang is awake?"

Cheng Xiu immediately sat up in shock: "Are you awake?"

She was responsible for keeping an eye on Yuan Muyang. She had been paying attention to his movements, so how could she not have noticed that he had woken up?

Cheng Xiu looked over and found that Yuan Muyang was still lying there, motionless.

"You're awake." Bai Ningning walked over and noticed that Yuan Muyang was sweating. "Can't you move? Is it because of the domain?"

She opened the door to the underworld and temporarily moved it to the second floor of Chu Yuyan's villa.

After returning to the human world, Yuan Muyang fell to the ground, breathing in the fresh air deeply, looking a little embarrassed.

Bai Ningning wondered: "Why can't I move?"

Chu Ze: "Don't you have any idea in your mind? Didn't you squeeze us all out before?"

Although he was complaining about Bai Ningning, his eyes were always on Yuan Muyang. He even secretly thought that this kid was so lucky that he didn't suffocate to death.

Bai Ningning: "...What are you doing here? Doesn't the frequent trips have any effect on your health?"

"Don't worry about it." Chu Ze glared at Yuan Muyang fiercely.

Chu Yuyan heard the noise and came out in a wheelchair, but found that there was no one on the first floor. The sound came from the rooftop, and he understood what was going on.

Bai Ningning: "Don't rush to speak. Wait until you can breathe more smoothly."

Chu Yuyan just looked up at the moonlight outside the window, then retreated silently.

Now is not the time for him to appear.

Bai Ningning deliberately put Yuan Muyang on the second floor, hoping that they could avoid each other and hide Chu Yuyan's identity.

Bai Ningning waved her hand in front of Chu Ze: "No need to stare at him like that, he's saved me many times before."

Chu Ze was dissatisfied: "When you use the red velvet grass, because of the karma you took on saving his life, not only can you write off the previous one, but he actually owes you. Don't you understand?"

"Not because of him."

Bai Ningning only corrected this one sentence, but didn't intend to say more anyway.

If we want to talk about cause and effect, it will be endless, and I'm afraid we have to start from Qinghuai.

After all, Qinghuai is now highly bound to her.

Bai Ningning waited until Yuan Muyang felt better before asking, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Yuan Muyang was still sweating, as if in great pain, and his breath was weak: "No, I don't know..."

The shirt he was wearing was completely soaked and stuck to his body.

Chu Ze pinched his nose in disdain: "You won't ask me to help him take a bath again? I won't accept it."

Bai Ningning knew that he had a special method of communication with Qingweishan, so she asked Chu Ze to change his clothes in advance in case there were any positioning or communication devices on them.

Bai Ningning was speechless and asked, "Call a doctor?"

Chu Ze took Yuan Muyang's wrist with disdain and took his pulse. After feeling his pulse for a while, he concluded: "All indicators are normal. He will be fine after a good night's sleep."

This is like saying that when there is a problem with the machine, just restart it and it will be fine.

Yuan Muyang took a deep breath, and after breathing a little more smoothly, he said, "That day I suddenly had a convulsion and lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was here."

Bai Ningning: "What did you eat or drink?"

Yuan Muyang: "No food or drink."

Bai Ningning looked at Chu Ze, asking for his opinion: "Could it be that he's hungry?"

Chu Ze: “…”

He stared at Bai Ningning speechlessly for a while, suspecting that she was pretending to be stupid - perhaps she didn't want to tell Yuan Muyang what was going on.

Bai Ningning clapped her hands and smiled like a profiteer: "Anyway, you have been saved by the underworld. Come work with me in the underworld to pay off your debts."

Yuan Muyang: "Working?"

Chu Ze: "Repay the debt?"

Bai Ningning introduced them to each other: "This is the King of Hell, Mr. Chu. You should thank him for providing you with the red velvet grass and saving your life."

"This is Yuan Muyang. He can catch ghosts and draw talismans. If you're worried, you can take him in as a walking ghost."

Zou Wuchang refers to hiring living people to do work for the underworld.

Chu Ze: “…”

Bai Ningning also made up an identity for herself: "I am also working for the underworld now. I often leave my soul, but I am still learning skills. The underworld has now opened a training class, and I can join the beginner class."

Her words were a mixture of truth and falsehood, and her tone was so sincere that it was hard to tell whether she was right or wrong.

Chu Ze yelled in dissatisfaction: "Hey, hey - is that a debt that can be paid off by working?!"

Bai Ningning knew he was just playing along and said, "But we've already saved them. If we give up halfway, isn't that just a sunk cost?"

She gestured to Chu Ze, asking him to raise the issue of the formation.

Chu Ze said in a rough voice, pretending to be fierce: "Hey, brat. Can you design a formation?"

Yuan Muyang hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he nodded subconsciously: "Yes."

Chu Ze said succinctly: "I need a formation to separate ghost energy and resentment. Hurry up, the underworld does not need trash."

After he said that, he turned around and left, and before leaving, he asked Bai Ningning to "keep an eye on him."

Bai Ningning looked at Yuan Muyang and realized that his brain was still buffering. She helped him onto the sofa and said, "Can you wait a little longer?"

She just needs to make sure that Yuan Muyang cannot have any connection with Qingwei Mountain.

Yuan Muyang lowered his head and stared at the corner of the coffee table, asking, "Why am I here?"

Bai Ningning: "Is it that Qingwei Mountain asked the Underworld for help during the regular metaphysical meeting? But you also know that your father cheated the Underworld, so the Underworld asked to take you away, otherwise they would not treat you."

Yuan Muyang: "Did you use red velvet grass?"

Bai Ningning played dumb: "It seems so, I don't know, but there is indeed red velvet grass on the help list."

"Oh." Yuan Muyang responded, and there was no sound, as if his brain was still buffering.

Bai Ningning asked: "Do you still want to go back to Qingwei Mountain?"

Yuan Muyang looked conflicted and didn't speak for a long time.

Bai Ningning waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, she simply put a piece of paper and a pen in front of him: "Draw a picture for Lord Yama's test."

Bai Ningning lied with her eyes open: "You better plan it carefully, don't let it involve me. Lord Yama gets angry easily, and he might even lose his temper with me."

[This is so funny! How dare your old father lose his temper with you?]

[Mu Yang is so pitiful. He was in a coma for so long, and was forced to work as soon as he woke up. He didn't even have a bite to eat.]

[Forget food, even water wasn’t prepared.]

[Exploitation! Tricking Mu Yang into working for the underworld! ]

Bai Ningning: “…”

It seems that I really forgot.

After dealing with ghosts for so long, I have forgotten that people need to eat and drink water.
