Accept a lackey from the Underworld
The winding path seemed to have no end. The little beggar in front would occasionally turn around to wait for Ye Zichen, then quickly run forward when he saw that Ye Zichen was about to catch up.
"Little guy, is Truth Listener really here?"
After walking for a full two hours, Ye Zichen pondered over how to get back.
"It's right in front. We'll be there soon."
The little beggar giggled. After walking for ten-odd minutes, Ye Zichen saw a white-robed man sitting in a pavilion in front of a cliff.
He raised the wine glass in his hand and looked ahead with a profound gaze.
"Lord Harken."
The little beggar ran over with a grin. When Truth Listener saw him, it raised its eyebrows and smiled.
"Why are you here?"
"That lord said he wants to see you." The little beggar pointed towards Ye Zichen. Diting nodded, then chuckled, "It's you … I've seen you before in the Reincarnation Hall."
Since Diting was not in his auspicious beast form, Ye Zichen thought that the little beggar was talking about a different person.
However, when the white-robed man mentioned the Reincarnation Hall, he confirmed that the man was indeed his mission target, Truth Listener.
"What business do you have with me?"
Diting looked up with a smile. Ye Zichen licked his lips, then took out all of the alcohol he bought from the Treasure Chest.
"This …"
The Harken's nose twitched, and a fiery look appeared in its eyes.
Even if the cork wasn't opened, he could smell it. Ye Zichen relaxed when he saw his expression.
The strategy guide had not lied to him. Diting was really a good drinker.
"Are you here to buy me a drink?"
Di Ting squinted his eyes and rubbed his hands together as he smiled. At this moment, he no longer looked like an auspicious beast. His eyes were glued to the wine as he softly sighed.
"What a pity!"
"What, Lord Harken doesn't like it?" Ye Zichen quickly said. He had planned for this moment for far too long. If he didn't like it, then he could return to the Modern Realm and buy some other alcohol while there was still time …
"The wine is good. It's just that the Bodhisattva wants to take me to a secret place. Drinking is bad, and the Bodhisattva doesn't allow me to drink, "Diting said. As Truth Listener spoke, it kept staring at the alcohol. "Why don't you drink it when I return?"
"I wonder how long it will take for Lord Harken to return from that secret place?"
Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows. He did not have the time to wait for Diting. The time limit for this mission was seven days. If they didn't complete it, they would be killed.
Three days had already passed, and only four days remained.
"I can't say for sure. If I'm fast, I'll be back in a day. If I'm slow, it'll take ten days to half a month!"
"Diting" Ye Zichen. Diting's Ye Zichen was "God"
Ten days to half a month. By the time he returned, it seemed like he could only drink with his ghost. "You World Harken," Ye Zichen's said. "Hark.
"You seem to be in a hurry?"
Ting., Dk. "Dding. to you. Dang. I'm also a wine lover. This wine is in my hands, and my heart is itching. But if I were to secretly drink it, I would be letting Lord Truth Listener down. "
Ye Zichen smiled coyly, causing Diting to smile in understanding.
"Understood, we are all kindred spirits! You can drink some yourself, but don't drink all of it. Leave some for me. Of course, I will return from that secret place as soon as possible and drink with you! "
"Alright!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Di Ting transformed into the form of an auspicious beast and spoke.
"Wait for me."
Whoosh.
Diting soared into the sky, then instantly disappeared from Ye Zichen's sight. Then, he put away all the alcohol on the table. At that moment, he was extremely nervous.
His life was in the hands of the Harken. It would be fine if he came back earlier, but if he came back later …
If he really couldn't do it, he could negotiate with the mysterious man and delay it for a few days. He couldn't just lose his life like this!
Ye Zichen muttered to himself, then put away all the alcohol. Just as he was about to leave, the little beggar suddenly ran in front of him and grabbed his pants.
"What's wrong? You like wine too … Then I'll give you a few bottles!"
Ye Zichen immediately took out a few bottles of alcohol from the Treasure Chest and placed them on the table. The little beggar shook his head, then raised his eyebrows, "My lord, can you let me come with you?"
"Sir, can you let me go with you?"
Ye Zichen was momentarily stunned.
The little beggar nodded, "Mhmm, you are a good person.
"Yes, you're a good person. No one in the Underworld has ever helped someone like me. I want to follow you. I definitely won't eat your food for nothing. I have a lot of special skills as well … "
Ye Zichen sighed in his heart when he saw the little beggar's pitiful look.
He could actually understand the little beggar. He had no one to rely on in the Underworld, so he wanted to follow a kind-hearted person like Ye Zichen. Actually, Ye Zichen didn't mind the little fellow following him, but he was a mortal …
He couldn't stay in the Underworld forever. If he left the Underworld, then wouldn't the little fellow still have no one to rely on?
"But I can't stay in the Underworld for long."
"Did you say that you are going to explore the secret place?" The little beggar's eyes brightened. "I can go with you. If I say that I'm second in terms of survival skills, then no one would dare to say that they're first!"
The little beggar had completely misunderstood. However, Ye Zichen didn't want to explain too much to him.
"Fine, fine. Follow me then!"
"Thank you, milord." The little beggar stood up with a smile and said, "Sir, I still don't know your name."
"Ye Zichen!"
"Ye Zichen," the little beggar muttered, then blinked. "I seem to have heard this name somewhere before."
After returning to the Ghost Domain's capital city, when the little beggar walked in the middle of the road, there were several people who wanted to scold him away. However, when they noticed Ye Zichen beside him, they all swallowed their curses and walked to the side of the street.
"My lord, I've never been able to walk in the middle of the road before." The little beggar laughed at himself and said, "However, I've always believed that I'll be able to stand in the center of the Ghost Realm one day. Although I'm not relying on my own strength, at least I'm one step closer to my dream!"
He smiled and nodded. For some reason, he could understand the little beggar's feelings.
There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two of them, but this was clearly their first meeting …
"Hehe, you've really made it hard for this Grandpa Pig to find you."
At that moment, a group of people suddenly appeared beside Ye Zichen and the little beggar, completely surrounding them.
Not long later, the pig-faced man, who was beaten up, walked in from the crowd and squinted his eyes with a smile.
