Chapter 136 - 136: Looking for the Door in the Yin World.

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Great Desolate World was a very typical ancient world.

That was not right.

To be precise, the Great Desolate World was an ancient immortal cultivation world with many legends. There were dynasties in the secular world, and there were all kinds of trascendents outside the secular world.

In the secular world, dynasties were as fickle as the king’s flag on the city wall. Throughout the history of the Great Desolate World, countless dynasties rose, fell, and were finally replaced.

And stories of the dynastied could spread far and wide.

Among these many stories, the story of the queen of the Great Sheng Dynasty seeking a child in the afterlife was one most widely circulated.

At the same time…

Xu Bail s intuition told him that this story could be of great help to Su Meng’s mystery.

Skinny Monkey did not think too much about it. After Xu Bai told him the story, he frowned and tried hard to recall the memories of his previous life.

Then, he calmed himself down and looked up at Xu Bai before telling the story.

The story was actually very short, but it was heavily mythical.

To put it simply.

In the endless history of the Great Desolate World, there had once been such a dynasty called the Great Prosperity Dynasty. At a point in time, it could almost be said to be the end of the dynasty. One of the successors died within three days after inheriting the dynasty, leaving no successor behind.

A dynasty that had lost its heir made countless ambitious people restless.

It was also at that time that the queen, who had been diagnosed as a stone maiden before being crowned queen, found a close friend from the Shang Qing Sect. With the help of that close friend, she rushed to the netherworld.

“The next day, the queen gathered all the ministers. She already has the bloodline of the dynasty, and the dynasty has a successor.”

“That’s why the ambitious people of the Great Sheng Dynasty were suppressed.” “Ten months later, the queen gave birth to a prince.”

“After that..

“When this prince grew up to become an adult, he inherited the dynasty. Then, he swept the world with the Great Prosperity that was already at the end of its era. In a few years, he annexed nine countries and changed the king to emperor.”

“But in the second year of his reign, he suddenly died.”

“It is said that the remnants of the Nine Kingdoms knew of the emperor’s background and disguised themselves as submissives who offered the Nine Kingdoms’ register. They used the opportunity of handing over the register of the Nine Kingdoms to cause trouble in the royal court and reveal the origin of his background to the emperor.”

“In an instant.”

“Heaven’s Wrath!”

“The Yin World descended, and the Yin soldiers and generals surrounded the entire Great Sheng Empire in the blink of an eye. By the time the Yin World retreated, the Emperor was already dead.”

“The emperor sitting on the throne seemed to have withered, as if time had passed in the blink of an eye.”

“It is said that…’

“The queen at that time, with the help of her best friend from the Shang Qing Sect, went to the netherworld and deceived the netherworld’s reincarnation. She stole the soul of the netherworld and became pregnant.”

“That Shang Qing Sect’s best friend had repeatedly warned against letting anyone else know about this. Once others find pit, they would definitely feel it in the netherworld and be furious.

“Originally, the queen only remembered it in her heart, but at the end of her life, she still told the emperor about it and instructed her son to keep his secret.”

“In the end, the walls had ears. The remnants of the Nine Nations eventually found out…

Skinny Monkey told the story based on memory to Xu Bai, who was sitting opposite him and listening attentively with a glass of whiskey in his hand.

After thinking for a while, he confirmed that he had not missed anything.

“That’s all.”

Xu Bai nodded without saying anything.

Infertile Stone Woman.

She got pregnant in the Yin World.

It was kept a secret.

The secret was exposed, which triggered the wrath of the Yin World.

Xu Bai did not know how the queen and her best friend from the Shang Qing Sect had managed to deceive the reincarnation of the Yin World in Skinny Monkey’s story.

But…

If this step was omitted, the rest would match Su Meng’s background.

Hiss.

Xu Bai couldn’t help but gasp. If things continued as he had imagine, would it also trigger the wrath of the Yin World?

He looked at his mission panel.

[Mission Title: Uninvited Guest-Su Meng’s Life Experience]

[Mission Difficulty: S]

[Mission Description: Do you know the truth about Su Meng’s background?]

[Mission reward: Character experience X20,ooo, Skill experience X20,ooo,

Game currency X20,ooo] [Can be submitted.]

Xu Bai looked at the obvious ‘S’ in the difficulty column of the mission panel. At first, he was wondering why it was a mystery and why the difficulty was ‘S’.

Now Xu Bai understood.

However…

At this rate, it seemed that the difficulty of this mission was not overestimated, but underestimated.

Seriously underestimated.

Shou Hou looked at Xu Bai, who was holding a wine glass and staring at him without blinking. He felt a little weak and wary.

“Boss…”

. Hmm?”

Xu Bai returned to his senses and looked at Skinny Monkey. He laughed.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is there a problem with the story?” Skinny Monkey asked carefully.

Xu Bai shook his head and said no. Then, he stood up with a smile. “This story is very enlightening. I liked it very much. Alright, you may head back first.

Skinny Monkey, I’m tired.”

Skinny Monkey was a little suspicious, but he did not say anything and just stood up.

Xu Bai walked Skinny Monkey to the door and watched him go down the stairs before returning to his own home. He glanced at the empty wine glass on the coffee table and walked towards the wine cabinet.

After a while.

Xu Bai poured himself a new glass and sat down on the high stool beside the wine cabinet. After taking a sip from the glass, he looked at it thoughtfully.

Although he still did not have any evidence, through the story that Skinny Monkey had just told, he had basically discovered the thread of the mystery and figured out the general context of the entire matter.

Moreover, in the mission column Su Meng’s birthday had achieved Schrodinger’s completed status. He only needed to choose to submit this task to complete it.

But Xu Bai suddenly didn’t want to submit it.

The lessons from the past are the lessons for the future.

Who knew what kind of reaction he would trigger once he submitted the mission? For example, what if Su Meng was like the emperor in Skinny Monkey’s story? One who would be furious after his identity was exposed, enough to appear in the Yin World to take Su Meng away?

He finally understood why Zuo Lei had willingly chosen to die after Su Ruyu had spoken.

He had a headache.

Xu Bai couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

At this moment.

With a thump.

Xu Bai returned to his senses and looked in the direction of the voice, frowning.

In the next second.

Xu Bai put down the wine glass that he had held in his hand and walked to the wooden cabinet where his parents’ memorial tablets were placed. He picked up a sandalwood stick that had fallen from the incense burner.

Hmm?

Xu Bail s finger touched the sandalwood as he frowned slightly. He could feel the strange coldness of the sandalwood and frowned subconsciously.

“What…

“Crash!”

An evil wind rose and swept behind him. Suddenly, a black fog rose. From the black fog, an evil spirit with a ferocious face appeared. The evil spirit’s nails were long and thin. They stretched out from the black fog and strangled Xu Bai.

Xu Bai instantly disappeared from where he stood.

The evil spirit was stunned.

“Where is he?”

“Hey.”

The evil spirit turned around and saw a sandbag-sized fist rapidly enlarging in his vision.

Bang!

The black mist exploded, and the evil wind howled again. With the howl, the fog instantly dissipated in all directions.

Xu Bai, who had punched the air, withdrew his fist and stood where he was, looking around.

In the next second.

The black fog silently formed behind Xu Bai once again. The evil spirit hiding in the black fog had a ferocious expression on its face, but it carefully stretched out its sharp claws and looked around vigilantly. It did not notice that Xu Bail s neck was behind it.

Just as the evil spirit’s claws were about to touch Xu Bai’s neck, the latter was already prepared. With a sneer, he instantly turned around and raised his right hand. “I caught you.”

The evil spirit’s malevolent expression turned dull once again. Then, it tried to dissipate like before.

But…

“Star Picking! ”

“Buzz!”

A powerful suction force emerged from Xu Bail s right palm and instantly enveloped the black fog that had exploded in all directions. The black fog had nowhere to escape. In the blink of an eye, it seemed to have been trapped in Xu Bai’s palm.

“Let… ”

The evil spirit felt that it had nowhere to run. Its ferocious face was faintly discernible in the black fog, and its voice was like fingernails on a chalkbboard. “Yin World Enforcer, you dare to stop me?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

They were both in the same industry.

“What a coincidence.”

Xu Bail s right hand turned into a claw, and with a bang, he forcefully pulled the evil spirit out of the black fog. He grabbed the evil spirit’s neck and felt the bone-piercing cold. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Feng City Police Department, how dare you assault a police officer?”

The evil spirit’s expression was dull.

The next second.

The evil spirit opened its mouth. Just as it was about to say something, the evil spirit suddenly seemed to have sensed something that frightened it. Its body began to tremble violently.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and retrieved his badge from his pocket.

The badge seemed to be a little warm.

The moment Xu Bai retrieved the badge, the evil spirit that was being held by

Xu Bai once again struggled to escape his grasp.

Xu Bail s hand was like a vice, preventing him from breaking free.

Streams of warm white mist began to appear on the evil spirit’s body.

Three breaths later.

The evil spirit seemed to have sensed something. It opened its mouth and tried to make a sound, but othing came out because it was being strangled.

The next second.

Bang!

The evil spirit in Xu Bail s palm turned into a cloud of white mist and exploded with a bang.
