You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 142 Let's prepare for Master Chen's funeral!
Fengdu City, West City.

Xixin Lane.

The street is called "Xixin Alley" because it is close to the underworld and is the most prosperous area in the western city and even the entire Fengdu city!

This prosperity is not reflected in the numerous shops, bustling atmosphere, heavy traffic, and constant flow of people, but rather in the high land prices!
Simply put, anyone who can live here is either extremely wealthy or of high status!
For example, the "Chen Mansion" has a land area of ​​more than forty acres. It is said that it was originally built by a high-ranking official of the "Shangshan Division" to "keep a mistress in a golden house".

Later, the high-ranking official was found to have embezzled and accepted bribes, was dismissed from his post, and the courtyard was confiscated and turned into public property.

Later, when Chen Huaiyi came to Fengdu City, he spent a huge sum of money to buy this house.

At this very moment, Master Chen was enjoying snacks and tea under a weeping willow tree in the backyard. Behind him, on either side, were two beautiful women, one feeding him snacks and fruit, and the other holding a teapot.

The remaining two helped Mr. Chen massage his shoulders and back.

Ahead, there were more than a dozen female ghosts singing and dancing.

These female ghosts are graceful and have an extraordinary temperament. When they dance, they have a special classical beauty. They were bought by Master Chen at a high price. Some of them even have the strength of a ghost king!

of course.

This "ghost king" refers to the level of ghost kings in the human realm.

Souls of this caliber could be knocked down by throwing a brick in Fengdu City.

"Master, master!"

A female ghost strode into the backyard, her face beaming with joy. "Master, good news... wonderful news, great news!"

hetui!

Chen Huaiyi spat out a fruit seed and said calmly, "How does the master usually teach you? You can't be careless in doing things, and you have to remain calm in the face of trouble. You are the steward of our Chen family. If you are like this, how can you teach the maids and servants below you?"

The female ghost steward was naturally quite good-looking, and she quickly replied, "Master is right, this servant will definitely pay attention in the future."

Chen Huaiyi laughed and said, "Alright, now you can tell me... what is the good news?"

The female ghost steward said, "Master Chen, a coachman has come by. He says that the young master died an unexpected death, and his soul has now arrived in Fengdu City, where he will soon reunite with you!"

"Congratulations, sir, father and son are reunited!"

"Congratulations, sir... your young master has died!"

The other female ghosts all offered their congratulations.

Hey!
Chen Huaiyi jumped up abruptly, his face darkening as he cursed, "What kind of happy occasion is this? Where's the coachman?"

The female ghost housekeeper: "It's right outside the mansion!"

Chen Huaiyi had already transformed into a wisp of Yin energy and was flying out of the mansion. As he flew, he kept thinking, "How could this be... How could Chen Yang die? Could it be that he encountered some danger in the mortal realm?"

Seeing their master in such a panic, a group of female ghosts chased after him.

Whoosh!
Chen Huaiyi rushed to the door and was greeted by a coachman who bowed and scraped, saying auspicious words such as "Congratulations, Master Chen, on the death of your son" and "Congratulations, Master Chen, on the untimely death of your son."

aside.

There stood three figures.

Chen Yang, Black Impermanence, White Impermanence!

Chen Huaiyi pounced on Chen Yang, looking him up and down, and cursed, "What's wrong with you, kid? I've only been down here for a few days... and you're already dead?"

"What, the ball is dead?"

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated: "Dad, don't listen to that driver's nonsense. I had someone use the [Spirit Walking Technique] to send me down."

Chen Huaiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The coachman almost cried when he heard this. "Did I offer my congratulations... in the wrong way?"
Fearing that "Master Chen" would be angry, he immediately tried to drive away quietly in his carriage, but Chen Huaiyi stopped him and threw him a bundle of ghost money.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen! Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

The driver was overjoyed. Looking at the bundle of brand-new 1000-yuan bills in his hand, he couldn't help but think, "If Master Chen's son is so generous even though he's alive, how much money would he have to reward me if his son really had died?"

The driver left with anticipation in his heart.

Chen Huaiyi was in high spirits and invited Hei Bai Wuchang to come into the mansion with him, but they declined. "Master Chen, you and your son have been separated for so long, you must have a lot to talk about, so we brothers won't disturb you... Inspector Chen, we'll come to pick you up tomorrow to meet Lord Cui?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huaiyi became anxious: "You brat, you've come to Fengdu City, why don't you go and pay your respects to the Prefect first? What are you doing here?"

finally……

Chen Yang still failed to enter the "Chen Mansion".

Chen Huaiyi personally led him to the underworld. After finding a ghost immortal to report, the ghost immortal quickly responded: "Master Chen...please come in. The Lord of the Underworld is in a very good mood after learning that Inspector Chen has come down."

Chen Huaiyi, familiar with the route, led Chen Yang through a long corridor toward the residence of Lord Cui.

Chen Yang turned around and glanced at the ghostly figure, then asked, "Dad, was that... a ghostly figure?"

Chen Huaiyi nodded and said, "That's right, he is Lord Cui's personal guard, an ancient ghost immortal master."

Awesome!
Chen Yang silently gave a thumbs up and praised, "Dad, you're amazing... A dignified ghost immortal is being so polite to you!"

Chen Huaiyi smiled.

"Chen Yang, let me teach you another lesson today... Money isn't everything, but money... can move mountains!"

He then said earnestly, "As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, but without money, even ghosts won't open the door... When you go back this time, remember to burn some more money, every month!"

Chen Yang: "Dad, how much should we burn?"

Chen Huaiyi: "Just burn three to five hundred million every month, not too much... I'm afraid of inflation if it's too much. Also, burn more of those dolls, and make some custom-made high-quality dolls from all over the world."

Chen Yang was silent for a few seconds, then asked cautiously, "Dad, I've burned twenty or thirty dolls for you... I understand that you were a bachelor your whole life, so you might have more needs after death, but you have to be moderate in this kind of thing. Even if it's a ghost, doing it too often will damage your soul."

Chen Huaiyi glared and cursed, "I'm a gentleman, how could I do such a reckless thing? I asked you to burn the baby as a gift!"

"???"

Chen Yang: "Gifts?"

"The path between Yin and Yang has been severed for a thousand years. These kinds of things are now a rare commodity down there. I've already given away all the dolls you burned... and a lot of money as well. Otherwise, why do you think I have so much influence in Fengdu City?"

Chen Huaiyi said, "Isn't everything I've done just to pave the way for you?"

We arrived outside the residence of Lord Cui.

Before the guards could even enter and announce his arrival, Lord Cui's voice carried from afar—

"Hahahaha!"

"Little Chen...you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"

"Come, come, come! I've prepared a banquet to welcome you, Little Chen... Oh, and go invite Judge Zhong over!"

The last sentence was addressed to the ghostly guards at the door.

…………

at the same time.

world.

Outside of Five Elements Mountain.

The sun rises in the east, its rays shining brightly, but they cannot penetrate the mist over Five Elements Mountain.

Jiang He was startled awake from his meditation and saw Chen Youwei tidying up the formations he had set up on the ground. He quickly stopped him, saying, "Master Chen, Chen Yang's soul has not yet returned. What are you doing?"

"Return of the soul?"

Chen Youwei said, "Minister Jiang, when a living soul leaves the body to enter the underworld, it must leave before dawn. If the soul has not returned by daybreak, then Master Chen's soul will never be able to return in this lifetime!"

"Without a soul, the physical body won't live much longer... Minister Jiang, you can notify Master Chen's family to help him prepare for his funeral!"
