Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 577 Together. (First Update!)

Upon hearing that Qingli and Niannu shared the same goal, Xue Shuangzi immediately felt relieved and smiled slightly, saying, "Since we all have the same goal, let's go together."

Together?
Qingli's eye twitched, but she still stubbornly replied, "No problem!"

"However, I'll have to take off your clothes!"

Her mind was completely occupied with the jade slip containing the image, and she didn't care what requests the [Umbrella Woman] and [Rouge Demon] made. Once she found the item, she would leave immediately.

Then, she summoned Shu Yunying, Luo Fuyu, and Mu Xiangu, and caught the two female ghosts red-handed!
At this moment, seeing that Qingli and Niannu were also coming over to share the spoils, Kulan lightly twirled her silk umbrella, leaned it against her shoulder, revealing half of her pale and delicate face, on which a clear look of displeasure immediately appeared.

Although the future immortal's destiny is undoubtedly abundant and magnificent, her purpose in collecting divination from the other party is also to achieve immortality. It was acceptable to drag Xue Shuangzi along due to circumstances. But now that two more have come, there are too many ghosts. Even if the destiny is collected and divided among everyone, wouldn't it be diluted?

What if this leads to insufficient life force and delays her plan to become an immortal?
However, upon further reflection, this evil human cultivator has now made great progress in his cultivation. Having more female ghosts might increase the probability of success. With these thoughts racing through his mind, Ku Lan nodded.

Once the agreement was reached, Ku Lan immediately said, "In that case, Shu Yunying is not here."

"When this evil cultivator wakes up, we'll say we're Shu Yunying."

"All four of us say that."

"Shu Yunying only has one mouth, she definitely can't deny it!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Shuangzi shook her head and quickly reminded her, "We have four, but Shu Yunying only has one."

“Even if Zheng Que is stupid, he couldn’t possibly be unable to count.”

"How about this, if he wakes up later, since he can't see anything because his eyes are covered, the four of us will pretend to be Shu Yunying, the Ghost Bride, Linghu Yuniang, and that Yin Huier respectively."

"This quantity is just right, it matches perfectly."

Upon hearing this, Ku Lan immediately shook her head and said, "No."

"I had a very good relationship with Luo Fuyu. She even let me wait in line when we were queuing. She replaced Luo Fuyu with that 'Painted Skin'..."

At this moment, Xue Shuangzi became displeased and retorted seriously, "With such a high status and position as Lord Mu Xiangu, how could he possibly do such a thing?"

"When the time comes, Zheng Que will definitely see through our lie immediately!"

"Since the Ghost Bride won't work, let's replace her with that [Shadow Play]."

"The four of us will play the roles of Shu Yunying, [Evil Shadow Play], Linghu Yuniang, and Yin Huier respectively."

Upon hearing this, Niannu, who was standing beside Qingli, suddenly spoke up: "Linghu Yuniang is now my subordinate. Replace Linghu Yuniang as well!"

Xue Shuangzi glanced at Niannu and quickly compromised, saying, "Then let's change it to that Old Ancestor Shiqi."

"So it is: Shu Yunying, [Evil Shadow Play], Ancestor Shiqi and Yin Huier."

Upon hearing this, Qingli realized what was happening and immediately said with a cold smile, "That Yin Hui'er won't do either."

"That's a living person!"

"Although this human child is incredibly dull, he can still distinguish between a living person and a ghost."

Xue Shuangzi nodded slightly, feeling that Qingli's words made a lot of sense, and then said, "Then let's replace Yin Huier with Jing Zhengjie."

"Shu Yunying, [Evil Shadow Play], Ancestor Shiqi, and Jing Zhengjie."

"These four ill-intentioned, treacherous, insubordinate, and audacious ghost servants secretly conducted divination on Zheng Que. Is that alright now?" At this point, Xue Shuangzi felt a little smug.

While wandering around the market, she went to Linghu Yuniang's place to inquire about the names of all the people and ghosts in the market. Originally, she just wanted to get to know the other subordinates of that person quickly, but she didn't expect to use it so soon.

Indeed, opportunity favors the prepared mind!

At this moment, the other female ghosts exchanged glances and remained silent, clearly having no further objections.

Shu Yunying and the others were all unwilling to submit to each other.

As for [Evil Shadow Play], Ancestor Shiqi, Jing Zhengjie... apart from Xue Shuangzi, the other female ghosts had no idea who was who among them!

So, Kulan nodded and said, "Alright, enough talk!"

"Let's get started!"

As she spoke, she excitedly walked over to Zheng Que's side.

Qingli was afraid that Kulan would find the jade slip that recorded Zheng Que's image, so she followed closely behind Zheng Que and, without saying a word, took the lead and began to take off Zheng Que's clothes.

Niannu quickly stepped forward to help.

Xue Shuangzi stood there and looked around. She saw that the two female hangers-on were already groping Zheng Que. They quickly pulled open his clothes and started to undress him. Since she didn't need to do anything, she casually tore open her belt and started to untie her skirt.

Just then, Qingli's figure suddenly disappeared.

※※※

In the dilapidated palace, Zheng Que softly called out Qing Li's name. The next moment, mist swirled around the palace, revealing a woman in white with black hair.

Upon realizing that she had suddenly arrived in the underworld, Qingli was far from being as composed and eager to complain as before. Instead, she was stunned for a moment, and then her expression clearly showed panic.

She knelt down with a thud and kowtowed. Before she could straighten up, she said in a trembling voice, "My lord, what happened just now has nothing to do with me!"

"That's all...that's all..."

"It's all a conspiracy by that 'Umbrella Woman,' 'Rouge Demon,' 'Living Dead,' 'Ghost Bride,' 'Painted Skin,' 'Evil Shadow Play,' Old Ancestor Shiqi, and Jing Zhengjie!"

"I am innocent!"

"This subordinate knows nothing..."

???

Hearing Qingli's unsolicited confession, Zheng Que was immediately confused. What had just happened?
Are they referring to the incident where Mei Siniang, a rogue cultivator at the Core Formation stage, was tied up?

Not quite!
But apart from that, nothing seems to have happened related to Qingli recently...

After a moment's thought, Zheng Que didn't hesitate. He immediately opened his palm, which bore the character "令" (command), and aimed it at Qing Li, first boosting her cultivation level.

The next moment, a gust of wind rose in the hall, and yin energy gathered from all directions, forming a pillar of energy around Qingli and continuously pouring into her body.

Noticing the increase in her aura, Qingli was slightly taken aback.

She thought that she had been caught red-handed because she suddenly entered the underworld, but it seems that's not the case.
Thinking of this, Qingli disregarded everything else and immediately changed the subject, kowtowing frantically while reciting fluently, "Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you, Your Excellency! Your Excellency is discerning, of noble character, impartial and upright, incorruptible, pure of heart, and just..."
