Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 133 On Mount Pufeng, Deceit and Intrigue

Chen Xu had long anticipated that Cai Laozhuang's strength was certainly not weak.

But for the other party to give 500 likes in one go is a bit too much.

Feng Yuanbo is nothing special!

But what can you do when Old Man Cai has such a sweet tooth?
Now that you have eaten Chen Xu's "Meat and Mushroom Soup", you will be at Chen Xu's beck and call for two hours, obeying his orders without question.

No matter how strong he is, he is still a ghost in my trap.

The way of spiritual food is indeed extremely interesting.

The most amazing thing is that although the other party was being driven by Chen Xu, he himself seemed unaware of it.

Chen Xu told him not to touch the second bamboo tube soup, and he obediently listened, but his eyes kept drifting towards the bundle.

Chen Xu sighed under the locust tree and said, "I came to this place in a daze, and now I am leaving this world. I don't know what to do next."

This is a guiding question.

Although only Chen Xu and Cai Laozhuang were present, Chen Xu still acted with extreme caution.

He wanted to know specific information about Pufeng Mountain, and even if he had to deal with a ghost that he had already controlled, he would make a detour and never easily reveal his true purpose.

Cai Laozhuang's eyes were still glued to the second bamboo tube, and drool was dripping from his mouth.

He chuckled and said, "Pufeng Mountain, our Pufeng Mountain is great! Let me tell you, once you're in our Pufeng Mountain, your life as a devil will be much easier."

Whenever an illiterate passerby comes by, you can take the opportunity to go down the mountain and kidnap one or two, and you won't have to worry for a whole year.

If you offer a fresh human heart to our Ghost King, he can give you some pointers, and then you can learn magic.

Hey, that's even better. With magic, you don't have to be confined to this ten-mile radius. There are plenty of living people further and further away.

Fly away at night, return at dawn, carrying a few human hearts—truly better than a god!

What a divine being!

Chen Xu remained calm and said, "Ghost King? Do we have a Ghost King here? As a newcomer, shouldn't I pay my respects?"

Cai Laozhuang was still sighing: "It's because of the repeated sieges by the Zhenyu Division that every time a new envoy comes, they want to wipe out Pufeng Mountain. Hey, is our Pufeng Mountain so easy to wipe out?"
Dream on! How wonderful!

These guys kept causing trouble, and fewer and fewer people were around. There were almost no people left within a ten-mile radius.

Our king has already said that we cannot drain the pond to catch all the fish.

Are we going to eat everyone in the neighborhood? We're not...

"But those incompetent officials have driven away village after village, making our ghost market less lively than before."

At this point, he smacked his lips, moved closer to Chen Xu, and deliberately lowered his voice:

“Our Ghost King cultivates day and night, reaching the heavens and understanding the mysteries. How could he not know whether new people or new ghosts have come to Pufeng Mountain?”

It's just a matter of being too lazy to pay attention.

"Here, new ghosts come seeking refuge every few days. If he had to see them all, it would be too much trouble for him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat.

He controlled his emotions, his face showing disappointment, and said, "So I'm just going to ignore everything and stay here? I won't even pay my respects to the host, that's just too...too inappropriate..."

As he spoke, his tone became somewhat bewildered.

Cai Laozhuang wiped the drool from his mouth and chuckled, "You want to see our king to learn magic, right? I understand, I understand."

Our king loves fresh people's hearts. I, Lao Cai, find your Ghost Ganoderma soup excellent, but if I were to use it to seek an audience with the king, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough!
"You...don't you have anything else you're particularly good at?"

Cai Laozhuang secretly glanced at Chen Xu from bottom to top.

A chill ran through Chen Xu's heart, and he could only stammer, "I... I have something else..."

"What is it?" Cai Laozhuang was anxious, almost wanting to pounce on Chen Xu and search his package. But a strange sense of self-awareness made him stop himself from doing so.

Cai Laozhuang didn't notice anything amiss, taking it all as a sign that he was being polite and sensible today, a good ghost indeed.

He squeezed in, and Chen Xu deliberately lowered his voice, covered his lips with his hand, and whispered in his ear, "Take me to see the Ghost King and offer him the Ghost Lingzhi Soup."

I still have the Yellow Springs... which I offer to you.

Cai Laozhuang didn't actually hear Chen Xu's words clearly at all, but he vaguely understood something.

He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Wow, this is really great! Hey, you little rascal, why didn't you tell me you had this good stuff earlier?"
Come, come, follow me.

Let me tell you, it has been two or three days since I last saw Your Majesty.

It's true, a day apart feels like three autumns! I miss Your Majesty terribly too.

"Since you have a treasure to offer today, I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to pay my respects to the King again."

As Chen Xu listened to Cai Laozhuang's rambling words, his thoughts secretly wandered, existing in harmony with the present moment and the world around him.

The small ghost market in the locust grove had been completely left behind by them, and the faint wails of the evil spirits had also completely disappeared.

Only the cold sun in the sky remained, its dim light and ethereal mist making the entire dense forest seem distorted.

The air grew heavier, and a chill crept in from all directions.

Cai Laozhuang shivered slightly and asked Chen Xu, "Young man, are you cold?"

Chen Xu is not actually cold.

He was wearing a puppet mask, which, though seemingly weightless, felt strangely like a thick garment.

The chill seeped in from the outside, and after being reduced by the painted skin, it reached Chen Xu, leaving only 30% of its original intensity.

With Chen Xu's current physique, this 30% chill is nothing at all.

But he still pretended to be a little cold, and shivered as well, asking Cai Laozhuang, "Senior, aren't we already ghosts? How can we still be afraid of the cold?"

Cai Laozhuang laughed and said, "These ghosts are not all the same, and neither are the coldnesses."

Our king is a true hero of his region.

We absolutely mustn't linger in the places he finds comfortable. We've arrived…

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xu heard a roaring sound of water.

The sound of the water was so loud, it was like thunder roaring through the heavens.

A towering waterfall came into view, cascading down with a thunderous roar. The sharp spray of water splashed up, slapping against the surrounding earth and rocks with a crackling sound.

Logically speaking, with such a waterfall in front of him, Chen Xu should have heard the sound of water long ago.

But the truth is, he only heard the sound of water when he got close.

The sudden grandeur and magnificence had a tremendous impact, almost shaking Chen Xu's mind.

Fortunately, having made previous breakthroughs, he is now poised to reach new heights.

His will was stronger than ever before, and his mind was extremely calm.

He controlled his emotions, only showing surprise on his face.

His keen senses allowed him to perceive the lingering coldness, chaos, anger, frenzy, and unfathomable power emanating from the waterfall before him…

And, hidden beneath that magnificent appearance, is the occasional, fleeting sluggishness and dullness.

This led Chen Xu to a guess.
