Chapter 4: Netherworld
Cancan felt that immortals indeed carried themselves with dignity. Otherwise, why would Hua Qing’s expression become increasingly grim! However, honesty is always harsh, but fortunately, Hua Qing still had a face worth looking at. Cancan secretly observed his profile, admiring his handsome features.
She secretly wondered, can immortals get married? As Hua Qing leaned close to Cancan, feeling her breath flow, a cold voice rang out, "If you continue with unwarranted thoughts, I will make you plummet."
Cancan was ecstatic and asked enthusiastically, "Can I fly too? Even though I’m not a bird, can’t I still fly? I don’t know how to control a sword either!" Seeing Hua Qing’s slight smirk, Cancan blushed, thinking he looked incredibly handsome.
"If I let go, you will fly away." Hua Qing’s calm voice left Cancan stupefied! She repeated Hua Qing’s words, finally understanding. She glared at Hua Qing, but seeing him look back at her, she quickly put on a flattering smile, realizing she was still on his sword! She couldn’t afford to offend the master!
Nevertheless, despite this, she silently thought to herself: Immortals can be quite petty.
The two quickly arrived at the Netherworld. Upon stopping, Cancan immediately dashed to the side, feeling dizzy, and leaned against a stone. "Ribbit" – a little green frog escaped!
Hua Qing frowned slightly, Cancan watched as the little green frog hopped away, resting on a stone sadly, murmuring, "What a pity, I just ate it yesterday, how meaty it was."
"Wow!" White Impermanence immediately vomited, feeling disgusted, no one in the underworld knew it, he had OCD.
Cancan complained, "Really not hygienic." Then pitifully told Hua Qing, "I feel a bit dizzy."
Haha! Hua Qing’s mouth twitched again. But Cancan was not focused on him at this moment, she looked around sneakily. To be honest, even though Cancan has lived for so many years, as a young demon, she is still considered young. Being young, it’s inevitable to be inexperienced, she naturally hasn’t been to the so-called Netherworld.
The country bumpkin was always extra happy when entering the city.
"Are we here for sightseeing?" Cancan asked eagerly. Sometimes when luck comes, nothing can stop it. Surviving a great disaster will bring good fortune. This saying is indeed reasonable, if she didn’t fall off the cliff, how could she encounter Shu Mountain Sect Master? Although their encounter was a bit unusual, it can still be considered a beautiful encounter between a talented man and a beautiful woman. Oh dear!
Cancan looked around and felt a sense of dissatisfaction. Why is this Netherworld so beautiful? It even has flowers and plants! It’s not inferior to Shu Mountain at all. Shu Mountain is surrounded by immortal energy, which is inevitable. But here is Netherworld, really… she pointed to a bridge not far away and asked, "What is that?"
Hua Qing looked at her, "Can’t read?"
Cancan’s guilty eyes shifted around, then proudly said, "Is it necessary for a fairy to be literate? Not all fairies are so literate, and as a celestial being, you’re not even proficient in swordsmanship. Asking questions with humility is the right way!"
Hua Qing chuckled, "I thought even if someone can’t read, they could still understand pictures! Or at least have some common sense."
Cancan was angry, "Of course I know it’s a bridge, I’m asking what is written on the stones by the bridge." Suddenly, Cancan had a bright idea, she pulled at her hair which was hanging loose and it became all tangled like a bird’s nest, "Could it be the legendary Naihe Bridge?"
A creepy and sharp male voice sounded, "Exactly!"
Cancan felt that the voice was eerie, like a cat scratching wood next door that had lived for four hundred years, really spooky. Looking again, it was indeed the man in white clothes from before, but with his snowy white cloak flowing long, Cancan whispered to Hua Qing, "His attire along with that voice, really looks like a bird person!"
"Pfft!" White Impermanence snorted, "When you talk bad about others, can you not let them hear it? What’s wrong with you? What do you mean by bird person! You’re the bird person, your whole family are bird people!"
Cancan pouted at the finger, "My whole family are foxes, I’m not even insulting you, why are you getting angry."
White Impermanence clutched his chest, feeling shaken! So dumb, how could he still cultivate as a human. Indeed, over the centuries, there are always one or two exceptions.
Hua Qing didn’t say a word, he grabbed Cancan’s hand and headed straight for Naihe Bridge!
Cancan’s face turned white in an instant, "Let me go, let me go, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to go to Naihe Bridge, you go on your Naihe Bridge, I’ll take my sunny path. I don’t want to die!" Cancan wailed.
Hua Qing rubbed his temples and said slowly, "Shut up!"
"I won’t! I want to live! I just turned into a human today! I am so beautiful, I want to be a noble concubine. I heard that as a noble concubine, I can eat chickens freely, eat one, throw one." As Cancan spoke, she daydreamed.
In the time it took to speak, this person had already clasped her under his armpit, and soon they crossed the Naihe Bridge and arrived at a place with flowing lake water, lush green grass, and bright red fruits. Cancan widened her eyes and said, "Jeez, King Yama must be corrupt. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so luxurious here."
Hua Qing rubbed his temples again, then pulled her to a stone and saw three words written on it, she whispered, "Cross, cross, cross!"
Hua Qing couldn’t help but say, "If you’re ugly, you should read more books!"
Cancan got furious in an instant, "Who are you calling ugly?"
Hua Qing reached out and drew a line in front of him, then pressed his thumb on Cancan’s forehead. Cancan’s heart thumped, she shed tears, oh no, she had offended a deity and was going to be turned back into her original form!
Hua Qing moved his thumb away from Cancan’s head and onto the Three Lives Stone. A picture appeared on the stone, showing a man in white clothes carrying a basket walking down a wooden bridge, taking out fruits from the basket and placing them on the ground without looking back, then continuing on his way. This man was Hua Qing!
After Hua Qing left, a cunning little fox quickly sneaked out of a hole, swallowed a fruit in one gulp, without even chewing. A late-arriving wild wolf saw the fox choking and muttering, "You deserve it!"
The little fox gulped down hard, looking at the other fruits, only to find that they had all been taken by others. Finally swallowing it down, she flopped down and basked in the sun with her belly up.
Hua Qing showed no emotion, put away the spell. At that moment, Cancan suddenly found she could move. She jumped onto the stone, but there was nothing on it!
She exclaimed in disbelief, "What is this!"
