Chapter 939: This Is Nourishing
"Is that so?" Chen Yu sneered. He stared at the Patrol Division Commander and said, "But my intuition tells me that as long as I let you go back, you will turn around and come after me."
"No, no, I won't, I can swear to it," the Patrol Division Commander pleaded for mercy.
"Compared to swearing, I believe more that a dead man won't talk nonsense." Chen Yu smiled. Suddenly, he reached out with his right hand into the void, grabbing through the air toward the Patrol Division Commander's chest.
A streak of ghostly light appeared, and the Patrol Division Commander's body floated up involuntarily. He looked down and saw a hollow hole appearing in his chest, and this hole was slowly expanding.
A bead emitting a ghostly light emerged from his chest; this was the Yin Pellet, the most important thing for a Yin Official. Once the Yin Pellet is snatched away, he is not even as good as a lonely ghost or a wandering spirit.
"Chen Yu, I am a Patrol Division Commander registered in the Underworld, holding Rank Six. If you dare to touch me, the Underworld will definitely not let you off!" the Patrol Division Commander shrieked hysterically.
"Is that so? Then aren't you overestimating yourself? The Underworld has plenty of Rank Six patrol officials like you. What if you were swallowed by a Demon of the Nine Netherworlds while patrolling the Nine Netherworlds? How many people like you go missing every year? Does the Underworld even investigate?"
Chen Yu sneered. He retracted his right hand, and the Yin Pellet appeared in his palm. A ghostly blue bead could be seen floating slowly above his palm.
And the Patrol Division Commander, having lost his Yin Pellet, curled his body into a ball.
"A Fu, take advantage of the fact that the Yin Spirit energy on him hasn't dissipated yet, and hurry up and nourish yourself," Chen Yu commanded.
A flash of green light appeared, and A Fu emerged. He looked at the Patrol Division Commander on the ground and, without the slightest hesitation, opened his mouth wide and swallowed the guy in one gulp.
After swallowing him, A Fu's body expanded rapidly. This Patrol Division Commander did not know how many years he had lived; he was the best nourishment for A Fu. After consuming him, A Fu's realm would improve, and in the future, he would be able to walk under the sunlight openly and honestly. Apart from being unable to reproduce, he would be no different from a normal person.
After swallowing him, A Fu's body gradually solidified. He looked at his own hands and laughed out loud, "How many years has it been? I finally have my own body again."
"Keep a low profile. Since you want to be a human, then change out of this outfit first. Your Republic of China young master attire is not very suitable," Chen Yu said.
"No problem, I'll change, I'll change right away." A Fu nodded repeatedly. With a turn of his figure, he changed into a set of modern attire—sunglasses and a suit—looking very stylish.
"How do I look?" A Fu asked triumphantly.
"Not bad, very stylish," Chen Yu nodded and said, "You look a lot like a bodyguard."
"Tch..." A Fu rolled his eyes.
"Yinxian, you take this Yin Pellet; you will be able to advance to Ghost General immediately." The Yin Pellet in Chen Yu's hand floated slowly and drifted to Yinxian's side.
Yinxian's body moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to swallow the Yin Pellet. After swallowing this Yin Pellet, his body expanded rapidly, and then the heavy armor on his body slowly turned into light armor. Furthermore, his gloomy, black-energy-laden appearance also changed.
The dull, lusterless image on his body vanished, and he became a person with color. Moreover, a giant sword appeared at his waist, making him look imposing and majestic.
"I've advanced, I've finally advanced?" Yinxian's expression was agitated. How many years had it been? He had finally advanced.
In fact, for minor officials like them, wanting to advance to Ghost General was almost impossible; it was a one-in-ten-thousand probability. If he hadn't met Chen Yu, he would probably just be an obscure Soul Detaining Envoy, repeating his work day after day, year after year.
Therefore, meeting Chen Yu was a tremendous stroke of fortune for him. He cupped his hands together and knelt on one knee before Chen Yu: "Many thanks to the Immortal for the enlightenment. From now on, I swear to follow the Immortal to the death."
"Alright, you've just advanced, so pay more attention. You may return now," Chen Yu waved his hand.
Yinxian nodded. He cupped his hands to Chen Yu and then slowly retreated.
With the matter resolved, Chen Yu also intended to return, but A Fu, this guy, was extremely excited just having obtained a human form.
"In the future, when acting, bring a bit of a modern vibe. Don't let people see that you are an old ghost," Chen Yu saw that he was excited and couldn't help but remind him.
"Sure, sure, I know. Don't worry, I definitely will," A Fu laughed heartily, feeling extremely excited.
"Tomorrow, come with me to Lu Family Manor to resolve the Lu Family's problems," Chen Yu said indifferently.
"No problem." A Fu snapped his fingers and agreed immediately.
Lu Family Manor.
Not everyone in Lu Family Manor was surnamed Lu. The reason it was called this name was because the largest household in this village was surnamed Lu, and they were a prominent and influential family in the local area; this was the foundation of the Lu Family.
In the Lu Family's ancestral hall, an old man was burning incense and offering sacrifices, while Lu Ye knelt to the side, trembling.
This old man was the current Head of Family of the Lu Family, Lu Yuanzhong, and also the representative figure of the Lu Family, because only he could connect with the earth's pulse energy and communicate with the grandmother they worshipped.
And throughout the generations of the Lu Family, only this one person possessed such an ability.
After the incense was burned, a slaughtered pig was carried up and placed in the center of the ancestral hall. Offerings were placed on the pig's head, and then a bucket of pig blood was brought in.
Lu Yuanzhong picked up the bucket of pig blood and sprinkled it on the ground. Then he knelt on the ground, raised his hands high, rolled his eyes back, and shouted loudly, "Old Ancestor, this is but a meager offering, not much of a gesture, please enjoy it, Elder."
He bowed deeply to the ground with a very pious attitude. As his voice fell, a gust of demonic wind suddenly blew over.
This gust of wind vaguely contained a trace of black energy. This trace of black energy circled the pig once and then disappeared.
Immediately afterward, with a 'Crack!', that massive pig head was gnawed away by more than half. Then, followed by continuous 'crack, crack' sounds, the body of this pig was also gnawed by some invisible creature. A moment later, the entire pig vanished without a trace.
And that demonic wind appeared again, circling the room once. The pig blood on the ground also gradually disappeared. After finishing all this, the demonic wind seemed satisfied; it spun around once and then vanished.
Although it wasn't the first night watching his father offer sacrifices, Lu Ye was still broken out in a cold sweat.
Only then did Lu Yuanzhong stand up. He looked back at Lu Ye and said, "What you said, is it all true?"
"It is true, Father. Now Xiao Jin is gone, and the Lu Family has been beaten into a scattered mess. That kid named Chen Yu even put out the word that he is coming to our Lu Family to see our Old Ancestor," Lu Ye cried out in grief and indignation.
"Hmph, what kind of background does that Chen Yu have? He dares to go against our Lu Family?" Lu Yuanzhong stood up. Because he had been in contact with these demonic and evil things for many years, his body carried a trace of cold, gloomy energy.
