Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 135 Underworld Money, Nine Netherworld Domain!
Immortal Xiyue pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have ordinary paper money, so I can't let you see it directly."

"I have it here."

The Snow Moon Saintess suddenly spoke.

As she spoke, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and a stack of paper money appeared in her palm.

Li Qiye and Li Yueyao both looked at her with strange expressions.

Who would keep paper money in their personal ring unless it's for commemorating someone else?

"That's perfect."

Immortal Xiyue nodded in surprise.

However, this involved other people's privacy, so she didn't ask why the Snow Moon Saintess had paper money on her.

With a casual gesture, the stack of paper money appeared in her hand.

Immediately, the flames in the hands of the Immortal Xiyue flickered and burned the folded paper money to ashes in an instant.

She then exhaled softly, and the ashes, now completely burned, drifted away in the wind like drifting catkins.

Next, Immortal Xiyue tossed the black ashes of paper money in her other hand into the air, and a shocking scene unfolded.

The black ash residue did not drift away with the wind; instead, it quickly coalesced, as if time had reversed.

In an instant, it turned back into a piece of paper money and fell to the ground.

"This……"

Li Qiye was dumbfounded.

"Ghost money!"

Li Yueyao exclaimed in surprise.

Noticing the strange look in Li Qiye's eyes, she explained, "This ghost money is a special kind of paper money."

In her previous life, Li Yueyao was traveling through the starry sky when she encountered a race in an ancient star field. She learned about this from the stories told by those people.

That ghost money was considered a treasure by their race.

Li Yueyao had a good impression of them, so she did not take them away.

So this was the first time she had ever seen the scene of burnt ghost money restored.

The Snow Moon Saintess beside her clearly hadn't heard of it before; her eyes sparkled with delight. What she had experienced today had truly broadened her horizons.

"This little girl has remarkable insight."

Immortal Xiyue glanced at Li Yueyao a few more times, finding her more and more pleasing to the eye. She smiled and said, "This is indeed ghost money. It wasn't made by humans, but rather a gift from heaven."

"Something that fell from the sky?"

Li Qiye muttered to himself.

If even Immortal Xiyue has said so, then it means that this ghost money is a genuine gift from heaven, not something man-made, but something that fell from the sky.

"The appearance of this ghost money was extremely strange. There was no warning at all. No one knew when or where it appeared. It just appeared without any sign."

The smile on Xiyue Immortal's face faded, and she frowned slightly, saying, "I have seen more than one powerful expert at the Divine Lord Realm study this item, but they all came up empty-handed and couldn't even figure out why it reverted to its original state."

"Because it doesn't involve the laws of space and time at all, and you can't sense any mysterious fluctuations."

"Some scholars have believed that the appearance of ghost money signifies a major event in the world and is actually a way of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth."

"However, there are some divine rulers' views that I think are very likely, but they are not accepted by the public."

Li Qiye frowned slightly and hurriedly asked, "What exactly is your viewpoint?"

Immortal Xiyue said solemnly in a cold voice, "They believe that the world we live in is actually the Netherworld."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye felt a chill run down his spine.

I inexplicably felt a chill on my body and got goosebumps all over.

"The Nine Netherworld?"

Li Yueyao also frowned deeply.

“That’s right!” Immortal Xiyue nodded and said, “Don’t you think that makes sense?”

"If the world we live in is the Netherworld, then the existence of ghost money is perfectly reasonable."

Do you believe that ghost money is paper money burned for us by people who were alive?

The Snow Moon Saintess's figure was hazy, her eyes shimmering with light.

“That’s right, isn’t that how you understand it? Everything makes sense now.” Immortal Xiyue said with a smile.

Li Qiye also realized that this so-called Nine Netherworld was probably similar to the underworld on Earth.

"But that doesn't make sense either."

Li Qiye subconsciously shook his head and said, "If this world is the Nine Netherworld, then how did the fetus come into being?"

"What's so hard to explain?"

Immortal Xiyue glanced at Li Qiye and said, "How can you be so sure that those Yin spirits are infertile? Haven't you heard of the Ghost Mother?"

"This……"

Li Qiye was speechless after hearing this.

I felt there was a flaw in this argument, but I couldn't find a reason to refute it at the moment.

Suddenly, Li Qiye remembered Xue Linfeng, a fellow villager who had traveled from Earth to Qinglian Academy.

After his inexplicable death, before he died, he wrote the character "death" in the language of that world and clenched it tightly in his palm. At the time, he thought it was a blood curse.

If Li Qiye hadn't sensed something, gone back to check, and buried it, he wouldn't have discovered the word in his palm.

dead!
At the time, Li Qiye felt that he had seen something amazing when he was dying.

He was in a daze before he died and couldn't write many words, so he wrote down the closest one.

Thinking about all this, Li Qiye fell into deep thought.

"Could it be true, as my aunt said, that the world we live in is the Netherworld?"

"Or, in the language of Earth, it's the underworld, the netherworld..."

"What that fellow villager Xue Linfeng wanted to express was that we are already dead, and the world we live in is the underworld?"

Thinking about all this, Li Qiye's mind went blank.

"Does a physical body still exist in the Nine Netherworld?"

Li Yueyao countered, "Besides, it's not like we haven't seen ghosts and demons before. If we are all spirits, then what are those ghosts and demons?"

“You are all very good. At least you didn’t believe me after I finished speaking. You still made your own judgments.”

Immortal Xiyue smiled and said, "Actually, what I said is just one of many possibilities."

"If the entire world were the Netherworld, it would be an extremely strange thing, so it's not impossible to see some strange and unusual things."

"Alright, let's leave this topic here. Now, the question we should be considering is: why are there ashes of ghost money next to Li Qiye's body inside the bronze coffin?"

Li Qiye was speechless for a moment after hearing this, then rolled his eyes and said, "Auntie, I'm not even sure if that's the corpse. Don't be so sure, it's kind of scary to think about..."

At this point, Li Qiye paused for a moment before saying, "Auntie, I want to go and take another look."

"Brother Qiye?"

Li Yueyao looked at Li Qiye with a worried expression.

Li Qiye waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and then looked directly at Immortal Xiyue and said, "I want to take another look at the bronze coffin."

"it is good."

Seeing Li Qiye's confident expression, Immortal Xiyue pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "However, this time I will close the bronze coffin directly after nine breaths."

She still has many questions about Li Qiye's desire to enter the bronze coffin.

Therefore, after careful consideration, and with his consent, for his safety, he was only permitted to watch for nine breaths.

This is the method that Immortal Xiyue believes will ensure Li Qiye's safety to the greatest extent.
