Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 401 No need to make a fuss. (Second update!)

Inside the dilapidated palace, Zheng Que opened his eyes, glanced at the familiar surroundings, and then his gaze fell on the Book of Life and Death and the gavel in front of him, causing him to frown slightly.

He cultivated with Fairy Yanluo for a whole night last night without ever entering the Underworld.

How come I've already entered the underworld after only half an hour of cultivation with Gao Yinxia?
While pondering, he looked at the records in the Book of Life and Death. His name had disappeared from the first page, but the other names showed no sign of moving up. The place where his name was originally recorded was now abruptly empty.

Zheng Que felt a little strange, so he turned to the second page of the Book of Life and Death.

On this second page, the first name was originally that of Meng Yao, the "Two-Faced Nightmare Princess" who was killed by him with a gavel.

But at this moment, the name "Mengyao" along with all related records has been moved down to the second place, while the first name is Zheng Que.

Zheng Que was slightly surprised to see this.

The Book of Life and Death records the names of other people and ghosts, all in a specific order.

The names also move from the first page to the second page in a specific order.

Names that appear on the second page first are definitely ranked higher, while names that appear later on the second page are ranked lower.

Normally, his cultivation level would have just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his name should appear at the bottom of the second page.

But at this moment, his name has become the first name on the second page...

However, apart from his name being listed ahead of the other [Scissors Prison] ghosts, he did not notice any other changes in himself.

Zheng Que continued looking at the Book of Life and Death. On the second page, besides his name, there were two more names.

One of them is: "Classification of things: evil spirits".

"Species: Rouge Demon".

Real name: Xue Shuangzi.

Place of origin: Wild land of Tuzhou in the Dali Dynasty.

"His lifespan in the underworld: 205 years, 9 months, and 10 days".

"Underworld official: Underworld official".

"Term of office: half a decade."

Another one is: "Class of things: Humans".

Real name: Yu Rulan.

Place of origin: Danzhou, the capital of the Dali Dynasty.

"Lifespan: 29 years, 11 months and 8 days, died at the beginning of the 7-9 PM, his soul scattered and his spirit dispersed."

Upon seeing the name "Yu Rulan," Zheng Que frowned. The Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell was the one that Yu Rulan had won the bid for.

Given the current situation, was the other party killed by the ghost bride?
This is a bit troublesome!

Everyone at the Heming Tower auction knew that Yu Rulan had won the Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell!
Once he gets the Demon-Suppressing Bronze Bell back from the Ghost Bride, it's fine if he doesn't use it anymore. But if he does, wouldn't the blame for Yu Rulan's murder fall on his head?

After we leave the underworld, we need to find the ghost bride and ask her what happened...

In a flash, Zheng Que looked at Xue Shuangzi's notes again and pondered for a moment.

This new female ghost's Yin-Yang position must have been given to her by Mu Xian Gu. It's a good time to summon her in and take a look...

So he immediately spoke to the Book of Life and Death: "Xue Shuangzi!"

※※※ Flower-lined Cave, Quiet Room.

The commotion gradually subsided.

The thick gauze lampshade filtered the candlelight into a faint halo, only vaguely illuminating the interior.

Zheng Que lay supine on the cloud bed, his clothes disheveled, revealing his muscular chest with several claw marks across it. His chest rose and fell slightly, his eyes were closed, and he remained motionless, seemingly asleep.

Xue Shuangzi collapsed against Zheng Que's chest, panting heavily. Her soul was extremely weak due to the recent divination, and she even had difficulty getting up.

Mu Xiangu's figure suddenly appeared on the open ground not far away.

Seeing this, Xue Shuangzi quickly suppressed the abnormal flush on her face, and while getting up from the cloud bed, she said with great shame and indignation, "That damned human!"

"They actually used my divination to predict my fate!"

"Once we accomplish this great feat, we will definitely skin these damned humans alive, tear them apart, and drink their blood and eat their flesh!"

Mu Xiangu remained calm and said casually, "Human cultivators are all like this."

"Alright, there's no need to make such a fuss. The amount of cultivation lost by Cai Bu is nothing."

"As long as we get a single audience with that lord, we can make up for it double on the spot."

"However, Zheng Que is a pawn of that lord, and he cannot be allowed to get into trouble yet."

You must not harm him in the slightest!

“He won’t wake up anytime soon, so you can take off your human skin and wait outside the city.”

Upon hearing Mu Xiangu mention that person again, Xue Shuangzi immediately perked up.

Before this human cultivator arrived, Mu Xiangu had told her about that person's situation.

That lord is a terrifying being in the underworld, capable of easily raising the cultivation of a [Scissors Prison] ghost to [Iron Tree Prison] in an instant!
Of course, this is on the premise that they have made enough contributions.

Therefore, she is now eager to find an opportunity to make a contribution!

Thinking this, Xue Shuangzi immediately peeled off the human skin, revealing her original beautiful and charming appearance, but also full of ferocity.

Mu Xiangu watched from the side and nodded slightly. He was about to take Xue Shuangzi out of the city when, before he could do anything, Xue Shuangzi's figure suddenly disappeared without warning.

Mu Xiangu immediately stopped in her tracks, realizing that Xue Shuangzi had been summoned by that powerful figure in the underworld!
She immediately went through all her experiences over the past few days in her mind, and only after confirming that there were no problems did she feel relieved.

Although her mistake caused the female cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect to escape, Zheng Que has now successfully established his foundation.

Whether the female cultivator from the Weapon Sect ran away or not that day had absolutely no impact!

As long as Zheng Que himself is unaware and doesn't go to the underworld to complain, she will be fine!
Now that Xue Shuangzi is impersonating a female cultivator from the Heavenly Artifact Sect, how could Zheng Que, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, possibly see through the problem?
The problem is that she hasn't recruited any subordinates yet; otherwise, she could hire several female ghosts to take turns impersonating Gao Yinxia, ​​and she would definitely be able to completely outmaneuver Zheng Que...

※※※

In the dilapidated palace, Zheng Que sat at the head of the table, watching the mist rise below. As it parted, a figure appeared, wearing a lake-blue short blouse and a crimson gauze skirt. Her eyebrows reached her temples, her eyes were like water apricots, and her skin was as flawless and translucent as jade. Her expression was full of ferocity. This tyrannical aura even overshadowed her original beautiful appearance. It was Xue Shuangzi!

At this moment, Xue Shuangzi stood below the hall, her expression blank, completely unaware that she would suddenly appear in this unfamiliar place. Then she turned her gaze and subconsciously observed her surroundings.

But soon his bewildered expression turned into one of utter terror. When his gaze sluggishly shifted to Zheng Que, all the emotions on his face transformed into endless despair and fear!

thump!
Without the slightest hesitation, Xue Shuangzi knelt down, her forehead pressed against the ground, and tremblingly began, "Greetings, Your Excellency..."
