Chapter 277: The Visitor

~7 min read 1,320 words

Meng Po Wine is made by brewing Meng Po Soup.

It is a new product recently launched by the Reincarnation Guesthouse, greatly favored by the major yin gods of the Underworld.

After all, drinking Meng Po Wine allows one to forget all worries for a period of time and enter a state of empty brightness and selflessness.

On this point, the Fengdu Great Emperor, who has been troubled by many matters recently, has the most authority to speak.

After all, the Fengdu Great Emperor's dharma form was broken by a single finger of Hou Tu Niangniang, causing the emperor's dignity to vanish completely; moreover, the forceful occupation of the Underworld by Dizang has left the Fengdu Great Emperor troubled endlessly.

After the Reincarnation Guesthouse launched Meng Po Wine, the Fengdu Great Emperor became its biggest customer.

Just the Fengdu Great Emperor alone makes San Qi count small coins until her hands go soft.

However, Meng Po Wine has a requirement: only those with cultivation at the Golden Immortal level or above may drink it.

Otherwise, without strong cultivation as support, drinking Meng Po Wine will directly wash away all past memories.

Watching Ao Yifan drink, San Qi on the side stared with big eyes, curiously looking at him.

Setting down the wine cup, Ao Yifan looked at the little girl and said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I want to know how you and my mother gave birth to my younger sister."

San Qi suddenly said, "Also, should I call you Dad in the future?"

"Cough cough"

Hearing that, Ao Yifan couldn't help but let out a light cough.

After retrieving her own wisp of soul, San Qi indeed became much smarter, no longer as muddled as before.

So now she also knows that the relationship between this Uncle Ao before her and her mother may not be simple.

"That's not necessary, after all, don't you already have your own biological father?"

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

Hearing that, San Qi pursed her lips, pointed in a direction, and said, "You mean that lump?"

Following the little girl's pointing direction, Ao Yifan suddenly saw a writhing lump—who else could it be but Ji Xian, who had just returned from the Eighteen Levels of Hell?

"How pitiful!"

Having endured the torment of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, Ji Xian's soul did not collapse, also thanks to Meng Po's secret method.

However, this was also done intentionally by Meng Po; her revenge is not yet over.

"Huh? How did you come here?"

Seeing Ao Yifan, Meng Po said somewhat unexpectedly.

"I came over, of course, to see you and Yi Yi!"

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

」Dad!

Yi Yi, who had been sleeping curled up in Ao Yifan's arms, seemed to be awakened by his voice, rubbed her eyes, and upon seeing it was Ao Yifan, immediately lunged toward him.

Catching Yi Yi, Ao Yifan pinched her little nose and said, "Yi Yi, do you miss Dad?"

"Yi Yi missed!"

Yi Yi nodded vigorously.

"Hehe, Dad also misses Yi Yi; look, this is the gift Dad brought for you!"

Ao Yifan said, taking out a mechanical dog he had brought back from Square Inch Mountain.

"Wow, a dog!"

Seeing the mechanical dog, Yi Yi's eyes instantly lit up.

On the Yellow Springs Road, there are hardly any living beings; although Yi Yi knows of dogs as creatures, she has never seen a living one.

And the mechanical dog that Ao Yifan brought just happens to fulfill Yi Yi's wish.

Meanwhile, San Qi also looked at her sister with an envious face, after all, that cute mechanical dog, she also likes it very much.

"It's a pity, he's only Yi Yi's dad, not mine!"

San Qi secretly thought, her disgust for the writhing lump of a soul in the corner grew even stronger.

After retrieving her own wisp of soul, San Qi became extraordinarily smart.

She clearly knows that it was her father who deceived her mother back then, even taking away her wisp of soul, all to carry out that ridiculous dream of eternal life.

It can be said that, toward this father, San Qi's heart holds only hatred.

By comparison, San Qi is immensely envious of her own sister Yi Yi, after all, Yi Yi's dad dotes on her excessively.

Just then, San Qi only felt her hand being pulled by someone.

Turning her head, she saw it was her own mother.

It is obvious that Meng Po also sensed San Qi's feeling of loss.

"Me, and also Mother!"

In an instant, a hint of warmth welled up in San Qi's heart.

Although there is a scumbag father, at least her mother loves her.

Moreover, now she also has a younger sister, Uncle Ao, and San Qi is no longer as lonely as before.

But soon, San Qi was dumbfounded.

Holding her younger sister Yi Yi, guarding the Reincarnation Guesthouse, she took care of the shop's business.

As for her mother and Uncle Ao, they threw the two of them aside and went to discuss cultivation matters.

"Whoosh—"

Just as San Qi was playing with Yi Yi and the mechanical dog, suddenly a gust of wind blew open the guesthouse door.

"A guest has come!"

At the Reincarnation Guesthouse, the customers are souls about to reincarnate; San Qi instinctively prepared to ladle Meng Po Soup.

However, just as San Qi was about to go ladle Meng Po's soup, her nose twitched, and she immediately looked toward the person at the door with an incredulous expression.

"You are, a living person!"

Living people, it's very hard to come to this Yellow Spring Road.

Up to now, the only living person San Qi has seen is Uncle Ao.

And what is the situation with this person before us?

San Qi, wary, held her younger sister in her arms, looked at the person at the door, and said, "Who are you?"

Wu Ming!

The person at the door said, "I have come on the orders of Dizang's martial uncle to visit the owner of the Afterlife Inn, Meng Po!"

"You are a follower of Western Teaching!"

San Qi had also heard that the Underworld recently gained a Dizang King.

However, it seems the netherworld deities of the Underworld do not like him, simply because he is a follower of Western Teaching, and followers of Western Teaching are naturally rejected by the Underworld's inhabitants.

Since you have entered the Underworld, your identity as a follower of Western Teaching must naturally be abandoned; from now on, Wu Ming will follow Dizang's martial uncle's side.

Wu Ming said, "I don't know, is Meng Po there?"

My mother……

San Qi was about to speak when suddenly a shout of "Get lost!" came from the second floor.

In the next instant, Wu Ming's face changed drastically, and he was directly flung backward out of the inn.

On the Yellow Spring Road, amidst a thousand li of yellow sand, Wu Ming looked with fear at the inn amid the vast yellow sand.

Just who was that person earlier?

Wu Ming, his face still filled with lingering fear, was certain that the person was definitely not Meng Po.

Simply because Meng Po could never be that strong.

Moreover, that overbearing power made Wu Ming even feel as if he were facing an invincible primeval ferocious beast.

Could this be the reason Dizang's martial uncle sent me here?

Wu Ming wiped the golden blood from the corner of his mouth; that shout of "Get lost!" had at least ruined several hundred years of his cultivation.

However, for Wu Ming, who has already cultivated to the Arhat realm, this is not important.

What matters is the attitude of the Afterlife Inn's owner toward Dizang.

It is quite evident that their attitude is not very friendly.

And he is merely a pawn that Dizang uses to probe their attitude.
