Chu Yu took out a talisman from her pocket and handed it to him: "This is a calming talisman. Wearing it will keep you from being disturbed by nightmares and will help you sleep and recover."
Fu Yunche took the talisman.
Chu Yu thought of something and, with a hint of excitement, said to him, "My master left me a secret manual, which records that there is a spiritual pearl in the world called the Water Spirit Pearl."
It originates from the deep sea, absorbing the essence of the ocean. It can suppress evil spirits, dispel illness, and prolong life. If one can find it, and combine it with the medicinal formula I developed from the secret manual, the matter of extending one's life will be twice as effective.
Fu Yunche's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where can we find the Water Spirit Orb?"
Chu Yu shrugged: "I don't know where it is either, but I'll ask someone to look for it. You can also have someone check it out."
Fu Yunche nodded: "Okay!"
After chatting for a while, Fu Yunche calmed down. It was the middle of the night, and they couldn't keep chatting, so they went to rest.
Fu Yunche lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. He glanced at Chu Yu, who was meditating beside him, and noticed that Chu Yu's eyes were somewhat similar to the eyes of the woman in his dream.
No wonder her eyes looked somewhat familiar when I first met her.
Her eyes are so similar to those of the woman in my dream; I wonder if there is any connection between them?
...
The next day, after breakfast, Chu Yu planned to go home to pack her luggage and move to Fu Yunche's villa later.
As soon as I got home, my phone beeped: [Ding! You have a new order. Deliver food to the Ghost King's Palace. This is an urgent order; please deliver as soon as possible.]
Chu Yu took out her phone and opened the backend of the Underworld Group. The order did not specify what kind of food to send, but the notes said that she needed spicy food, and the dishes needed to be plentiful and rare, and that it was urgent.
Delivery location: Youdu City, Ghost King Palace.
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow. Was she supposed to choose the dishes?
She wanted spicy food, and also a variety of rare dishes; she quickly came up with an idea.
Youdu City, Ghost King's Palace.
"Damn it! Not a single dish you made is edible. You have the nerve to call yourselves the top chefs of Youdu City? I think you're just the best of the worst."
An angry curse came from the main hall. Rakshasa Ghost King, the city lord of Youdu City, angrily overturned the table, smashing the bowls and plates to pieces and scattering food all over the floor.
The cooks were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
Recently, the Rakshasa Demon King, who loves food, has developed anorexia. No matter what kind of food the chefs serve him, he has no appetite and can hardly swallow it. This makes him very angry, and he thinks that the chefs' cooking is bad.
This month, seven or eight cooks have already been executed. The cooks in the Imperial Kitchen live in constant fear, racking their brains every day to create dishes that will satisfy the Ghost King, but they often fail and even lose their lives, which causes them great pain.
The head chef was an honest and unassuming bull demon, whom everyone called Iron Bull. Iron Bull stepped forward tremblingly and pleaded, "Your Majesty, if you don't like this meal, then we'll make some new ones."
The Rakshasa Ghost King glanced at him with a gloomy look and sneered, "This is the third table of food prepared today, and not a single dish is palatable. The dishes are either bland or too heavily seasoned, making them inedible. I think it's you, the cook, who are just going through the motions and deliberately trying to fool me. Ghost messengers, drag him away and behead him!"
At his command, two ghost messengers rushed over aggressively, grabbed Tie Niu, and dragged him toward the entrance of the main hall.
Tie Niu was terrified and cried out in terror, "Your Majesty, spare my life! Please give me another chance!"
The Rakshasa Demon King ignored him completely, and the cooks nearby collapsed to the ground in terror.
Tie Niu was dragged out of the main hall. The ghost messenger drew a large knife and was about to chop off his head when a ghost eunuch rushed into the main hall to report: "Your Majesty, there is a delivery person from the Underworld Group at the palace gate who says that someone has placed an order to deliver food from the human world."
Upon hearing this, Tie Niu's eyes lit up. He immediately broke free from the ghost messenger's restraints, rushed to the entrance of the main hall, and cried out with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, the human delicacies I prepared for you have arrived. Please try them first. If they don't suit your taste, you can still kill me later."
It turned out that when Tie Niu was worrying about what to cook, the page of the Underworld suddenly appeared in front of him, and the Underworld prompted him that he could place an order for human delicacies.
Tie Niu placed an order on a whim, and to his surprise, the Underworld actually sent a deliveryman to bring the food over.
This came at just the right time.
The Rakshasa Demon King was starving; he hadn't tasted human delicacies in a long time. Suddenly intrigued, he said, "Alright, let that deliveryman in."
The ghost messenger quickly brought Chu Yu to the main hall.
Chu Yu looked at the Rakshasa Ghost King opposite him. It is said that Youdu City is located on the edge of the underworld and is a gathering place for demons and monsters. The ruler here is called the Rakshasa Ghost King. He is ugly, fierce and cruel, and all demons and monsters are afraid of him.
The man in the main hall wore a black robe embroidered with a five-clawed blue dragon, an imperial crown on his head, and had a handsome face and a cold expression. He exuded a murderous aura, just like an emperor in an ancient costume drama.
Chu Yu bowed to him with neither arrogance nor servility: "Greetings, Ghost King."
Seeing her so calm, the Rakshasa Demon King was somewhat surprised: "You, a human, are actually not afraid of me?"
Chu Yu smiled and calmly replied, "I'm here to deliver goods. In my eyes, all customers are equal, and there's nothing to be afraid of."
Such a bold answer made everyone hold their breath. The Rakshasa Demon King sneered, "You've got some nerve to say something like that. If the food you brought doesn't suit my taste, I'll chop you up too."
