Chapter 78: Huang Xiaoxian Seeks Enfeoffment

Driving a flying car is quite simple; it relies mainly on artificial intelligence, so Zhang Cheng got his license in half a day.

Sitting in the car, enjoying the air conditioning, he savored a long-lost moment of relaxation.

At this moment,

Jiao Hong's phone rang.

Answering it,

it was Qin Meng calling.

"Captain Qin, what's up?"

"Where are you right now?"

"At the training ground next to the Divine Ghost Summoner Alliance, taking Zhang Cheng for a driving lesson. Is something the matter?" Jiao Hong asked.

Qin Meng said in a very serious tone:

"I heard that residents in Minqiang Residential District have reported that for the past few nights, especially in the early hours, a weasel has been blocking their path."

"They also say that the weasel can speak human language."

"As soon as it sees someone, it bows and asks with a smile..."

Zhang Cheng interjected: "Fellow villager, do you see me as a human or an immortal?"

Huh?

Qin Meng was stunned, "You know about this too?"

"Yeah."

Zhang Cheng nodded, "The story of the Great Immortal Huang seeking enfeoffment is quite famous."

Qin Meng continued: "This started five days ago. I suspect it might be the work of a newly emerged summoner."

"If you have time, go check out Minqiang Residential District. If you're busy, I'll arrange for others to go."

Jiao Hong agreed: "I'll go. My family has recovered, so it's time for me to get back to work."

Zhang Cheng's eyes rolled. A weasel seeking enfeoffment... he'd heard of it many times but had never actually seen one.

"Fine, I'll go with Captain Jiao."

Qin Meng said: "Good, I'll send you the location. Remember to go around midnight."

……

Night fell.

Minqiang Residential District.

Far from the city center, Minqiang Residential District was exceptionally quiet due to the few residents.

Even with the bright streetlights, it couldn't hide the lack of human presence.

"It should be around here."

Jiao Hong and Zhang Cheng arrived at a tree-lined path.

With bushes on both sides and lush green plants all around, the light was blocked, making the residential garden appear particularly gloomy.

Looking closely, it was even covered in a thin layer of mist.

Touching the skin, it felt somewhat cold, like frost.

"Do you feel it? It's darker and colder around here," Jiao Hong said.

Zhang Cheng nodded, "It's definitely dark, but I'm wearing plenty of clothes, so I'm not cold."

Huh?

Jiao Hong looked back and saw that Zhang Cheng was actually wearing winter cotton-padded clothes.

"... Holy crap."

The two continued to explore the garden.

Suddenly!

A black shadow darted past them!

Almost simultaneously, the two looked to the side, but there was nothing there.

Only the bushes were swaying gently.

"Looks like we won't find it tonight."

Jiao Hong sighed, "Let's go back for now and come again tomorrow."

Zhang Cheng nodded.

The two turned around in tacit agreement.

But the next second!

A strange figure appeared right before their eyes.

Covered in soft yellow fur, with a pointed snout and fangs, it looked like an elongated rat. In the dark night, it slowly stood up.

Its two front paws were clasped together in a bowing gesture.

A creepy smile appeared in its pitch-black mouth,

"Hehe..."

"Fellow villager, do you see me as a human or an immortal?"

They really found it!

Zhang Cheng and Jiao Hong exchanged a smile.

Immediately after, the two summoned their respective summoned creatures.

Jiao Hong summoned his SS-Rank "Tiger-Driven Ghost," that blood-stained two-headed tiger,

which was incredibly fierce, its green eyes gleaming with murderous intent, and its low growl deep and powerful.

Around it, dozens of Changgui ghosts held sharp blades, wearing funeral clothes, looking terrifying.

Holy cow!

A tiger that has become a spirit!

And it's two-headed!

The little weasel was startled.

At this moment, an even more terrifying aura came from behind Zhang Cheng.

As it turned out,

Black and White Impermanence slowly walked out, surrounded by Yin-Yang Qi, their sunken eye sockets revealing an indescribable terror.

Upon their appearance, the little weasel's eyes widened.

This, this, this...?

The little weasel was so shocked it couldn't speak.

Could these two be the legendary...

Underworld Ghost Messengers, Black and White Impermanence?!!!

The little weasel was terrified and bolted, running away without hesitation.

Its cultivation was shallow; encountering such powerful summoned creatures, it could only flee.

"Stop!"

Zhang Cheng shouted.

The little weasel fell to the ground with a thud, as if its feet had been bound.

It turned around, looking at Zhang Cheng in fear, its two small eyes seeming to say, please, spare my life,

I'll never seek enfeoffment from you again...

Zhang Cheng grabbed the little yellow weasel by the back of its neck with one hand, and after observing its aura, he discovered,

this little weasel's cultivation was almost zero.

It was as if it didn't exist at all.

It must have just cultivated into a spirit not long ago.

"You don't even have any cultivation, yet you dare to seek enfeoffment from humans?"

Zhang Cheng lifted the little weasel in his hand.

Legend has it,

after a weasel cultivates for five hundred years, it will go out to find a fated person to seek enfeoffment, asking if it looks like a human or an immortal.

If answered "immortal," it can immediately attain the Dao and become an immortal, becoming what people call a "Huang Immortal."

But if answered "human," its cultivation is ruined; it can no longer cultivate and can only walk like a human from then on.

Likewise, the person who answers will also be resented by it, and their family will suffer endless disasters.

Now,

this little weasel hasn't even cultivated for a year, yet it's out learning to seek enfeoffment?

Is the summoned creature world this competitive now?

"Speak, what's your name?" Zhang Cheng asked.

He could understand the little weasel's speech.

It was an ability granted by the System.

The little weasel spoke: "Huang Xiaoxian."

"Ho, quite ambitious, calling yourself 'Immortal' before you've even become one."

Zhang Cheng continued to ask, "Tell me, who is your summoner?"

Huang Xiaoxian's eyes rolled, and it blurted out,

"Zhang Cheng!"

Zhang Cheng: "???".

Your summoner is named Zhang Cheng.

Then what am I?

Zhang Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

He truly never expected

that there would come a day when someone would use his name to put on airs.

The funniest part is,

using my name to bluff people is one thing.

The key is, you don't even know what the real person looks like, right?

Just purely borrowing someone's fame to mess around, not caring about anything else?

Zhang Cheng stared at the Huang Xiaoxian in his hand, muttering to himself,

This silly Huang Xiaoxian must have heard my name somewhere and decided to show off with it.

Facts proved his guess was correct.

"Your summoner is Zhang Cheng."

"Then what about me?" Zhang Cheng pointed at himself.

Huang Xiaoxian scratched its head, looking innocent, "I don't know."

Zhang Cheng: "..."

There was no other way.

He had to take out his phone.

He opened a random video app.

And played a video of his own battles in front of Huang Xiaoxian.

At first, Huang Xiaoxian was confused, wondering what this young man, who didn't look well-intentioned, wanted it to see.

Could it be a horror movie about torturing weasels?

But after it saw the content of the video clearly,

it fell silent.

Huang Xiaoxian smiled at Zhang Cheng: "If I say my master's real name is Zhang Cheng, would you believe me? (A cheeky smile)"

Zhang Cheng: "..."

Do I look like someone so easily fooled?

Can this be tolerated?

Of course not.

If such a dishonest little weasel isn't taught a lesson, what if it runs into someone else's yard to steal chickens and dogs when it grows up?

In an instant, wails and howls echoed at the scene.

Three minutes later.

Zhang Cheng grabbed Huang Xiaoxian by the back of its neck, unable to resist rubbing the steaming big bump on its head,

"Do you still dare to pretend to be a big shot in the future?"

Huang Xiaoxian cried, "I won't dare, I really won't dare. In the future, I will definitely confirm the real master before pretending."

"Wuwu... ┭┮﹏┭┮"

Zhang Cheng sighed; it seemed the lesson wasn't enough.

Forget it.

Let it be.

……

Soon.

Under Huang Xiaoxian's guidance,

Zhang Cheng and Jiao Hong arrived at a pet shop.

Even though it was the early hours, people inside were still busy.

Pushing the door open, what came into view was a spotlessly clean shop.

The pet cages placed around were neat and tidy.

It not only provided a comfortable environment for the pets but also protected customers, preventing them from being harmed by the pets.

"Good evening, sorry, we are not open for business right now."

"If you need pets, please come back after eight o'clock tomorrow morning, thank you."

A gentle female voice came from the back room.

Not long after, a lady with a ponytail, wearing a white shirt and denim shorts, walked up to Zhang Cheng and the others.

She had fair skin, a sweet appearance, and was always smiling, giving people a very kind and natural feeling.

"I am very sorry to disturb you so late."

"But we are not here to buy pets; there are some things we want to ask you."

Zhang Cheng said, shaking the Huang Xiaoxian in his hand.

Huh?

Di Xiaoyan frowned slightly, turned to look at the cage behind her that had fifteen locks added, only to find that all those locks had been destroyed.

"Ahhhhh!"

"You damn Huang Xiaoxian, how many times have I told you?"

"I told you not to run out and scare people by yourself, why don't you listen!"

This youthful and beautiful woman rolled up her sleeves and grabbed Huang Xiaoxian by the ear.

Zhang Cheng quickly let go, and thus, not long after, he saw

another big bump on Huang Xiaoxian's head.

The two bumps were quite symmetrical.

Huang Xiaoxian: "Wuwuwu..."
