Leng'Er was speechless.
"Well, this story tells us that we can't sit in the same place for too long. Otherwise, it's easy to get hemorrhoids." Ling Chen said seriously.
"Hemorrhoids … What are they?" Leng'Er looked at him in confusion.
"Hemorrhoids … Um … Ah … Anyway, it's a very bad thing. Leng'Er will know when she grows up." Ling Chen scratched his head and said helplessly, "Alright, this story doesn't count. Tell Leng'Er another fable. The name of this fable is … The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains!"
"Here's the story. Once upon a time, there was a man named Foolish Old Man. There were two huge mountains in front of his house, which prevented his house from seeing the sun all year round. So, he began to smash the mountains and move the stones, preparing to move the two mountains away. An old man named Zhi Sou laughed at him and said, 'You idiot, these two mountains are so big, you won't be able to move them in your lifetime.' Foolish Old Man said, 'After I die, I still have a son, after my son dies, after my son dies, I still have a grandson, and there will be endless descendants. One day, I will be able to move the two mountains away.' This matter spread further and further, and finally reached the ears of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor was very touched, so he sent Sora Aoi, Sakurai Reya, Hatano Yui, Kamitani Hime, Ozawa Maria, Takagi Maria, Yamamoto Azusa, Seto Yui … and many other goddesses down to the mortal world to help the foolish old man reproduce … The next day, the old man named Zhi Sou also carried a hoe and joined the ranks of moving the mountains. "
Leng'Er was speechless. ~ ~ (〈﹏〈)
"This fable tells us that no matter what we do, we must persevere. Only by persevering will we win, only by persevering will we have hope, and only by persevering will we receive the favor of the goddess." Ling Chen made a profound conclusion about this fable.
Leng'Er was still confused. She asked softly, "The names of those goddesses … are so strange … Why can they help Foolish Old Man reproduce?"
"Eh … this … that …" Ling Chen groaned in his heart. These fables seem to be a bit too deep, not suitable for children to understand. Looks like that fable book can't be read anymore, I have to throw it away immediately after I get home. That's right, that fable book's name seems to be … En, I think it's called "Dark Fable", I have to throw it away immediately after I get home.
"Leng 'Er will only understand this when she grows up," Ling Chen said, feeling conflicted.
"Fables are not nice at all." Leng'Er shook her head in dissatisfaction. "I don't want to listen to fables anymore. Master, can you tell me a good story?"
Nice stories … nice stories … Ling Chen scratched his head again as he gritted his teeth. As someone who had spent his childhood in a gray world, he did not have many stories in his head. He had told Leng'Er all that he could. The only book he had read recently was "Dark Fable". He had read it with great interest, but now that he thought about it, it did not seem very appropriate for a child to listen to.
Suddenly, Ling Chen's eyes lit up as he grinned at Leng 'Er and said, "Alright, I won't tell Leng' Er a fable then. How about I tell Leng 'Er a long story?"
"A … long story?"
"It's a very, very long story that will take many days to finish. It's much better than stories that finish very quickly." Ling Chen patted his chest as he said confidently, "This story will be called 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. I promise that Leng 'Er will like this story very much."
When Ling Chen was young, he did not have any relatives by his side, nor did he go to school. All of the knowledge he had learned and stories he had heard had come from Xuanyuan Dia Wu. 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' was the first long story that Xuanyuan Dia Wu had told to Ling Chen. Although Xuanyuan Dia Wu was very young, she was incredibly intelligent and had an astonishing memory. She had told Ling Chen all of the events in the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' to him. The ups and downs, the soul-stirring, the magnificent, and the majestic stories were all deeply engraved in Ling Chen's mind. Even now, he could clearly remember every single character and every single detail.
Such a long story was enough to keep Leng 'Er occupied for a long time.
Leng 'Er lightly nodded and came closer to Ling Chen. She hugged the doll in front of her chest with her snow-white hands and pressed her face against the doll's head as she silently listened to Ling Chen's story.
"The story begins like this: a very long time ago, there was a dynasty called the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, an Emperor called Emperor Ling of Han was incompetent and caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion, causing the country to fall into chaos … "
One day passed …
Two days passed …
Three days passed …
There were 500-600 kilometres between where Ling Chen had entered the Underworld and the Underworld Royal City. With Snow Cherry's Movement Speed, as well as her ability to fly, which allowed her to ignore all sorts of terrain and Undead monsters, it was incredibly difficult for her to reach the Underworld after 2 days and nights of travelling. Of course, this was not without reason. The Underworld was extremely dark, and from the sky, the ground seemed to be covered by a grey fog. Visibility was quite low, and it was difficult to tell which direction to go. Adding on the fact that Ling Chen's' Romance of the Three Kingdoms', Leng 'Er had been completely mesmerized by it, and as soon as Ling Chen logged on, she would pester him to continue. Even if he stopped for a short while, she would feel wronged, and her favourability towards him would decrease … as such, Ling Chen could only continuously tell the story. When he came back to his senses and summoned Little Gray to find out which direction he was going, he found that the direction he was going was at least 90 degrees off, and he was even spinning in circles!
In this state, on the third day, Ling Chen finally arrived at the central region of the Underworld, and he was getting closer and closer to the Underworld Royal City.
As he flew from the northeastern part of the Underworld to the central region, what Ling Chen felt the most was that the further southwest he went, the hotter the air became. In the northeastern part of the Underworld, the air was cold and gloomy, but here, the air was slightly hot. What Ling Chen didn't understand was that the 'hot and dry' environment wasn't something that Undead creatures liked. Ling Chen looked up at the sky in the west, and was surprised to see that the horizon was covered with a dark crimson red colour. Although it was largely obscured by the deathly grey air of the Underworld, he could still see it clearly with his eyesight.
Doubts rose in his heart, but he did not interrupt Ling Chen's story to Leng'Er. "… Zhao Zilong killed his way through the Battle of Changban, and finally broke out of the encirclement with Fatty Liu. When they reached the Bridge of Changban, they met Zhang Yide. Zhang Yide shouted, 'Zilong, leave quickly, leave the rest to me!' … After Zhao Zilong left safely, Zhang Yide stood majestically in front of the bridge, single-handedly welcoming Cao Cao's million-strong army. When Cao Cao's million-strong army arrived at the bridge, Zhang Yide wielded his Snake Spear and rode on the bridge, shouting, 'Yan's Zhang Fei is here, who dares to fight me to the death!' His voice was like a thunderclap, causing the wooden bridge to collapse and the river to flow in reverse. Cao Cao was so frightened that he turned his horse around and fled. Xia Houjie died on the spot, and the million-strong army abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in terror … "
Ling Chen's story came to an abrupt end. Through the thick grey fog, he saw a huge shadow shrouded in darkness, releasing an oppressive aura.
Hades Royal City!
Ling Chen immediately became spirited. After two and a half days of travelling, they had finally reached the center of the Hades Royal City. This meant that they were close to their destination, the Underworld Blood Lake!
"And then … and then …" Leng'Er, who was listening to the story, was dissatisfied with Ling Chen's sudden stop. She shook his arm and urged him to continue.
Now that they were close to the Hades Royal City, Ling Chen was no longer in the mood to continue telling Leng'Er stories. He immediately said, "Then … then Zhang Yide was suspected of deliberately destroying public transport facilities and was detained by the local police. Hmm, the story of the Three Kingdoms is over. It's good, right? Ahhh … Leng'Er, look over there, there's a city! "
Leng'Er's eyes immediately turned red.
Ling Chen immediately panicked and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Leng'Er, don't be angry, don't be angry. I was just joking. There's still a long story, and the ending definitely won't be like what I just said. I'll tell Leng'Er tomorrow, okay? Today, we should do something very important together. "
Leng'Er was quite obedient, and she did not pester Ling Chen to continue telling her stories. Instead, she turned and looked at the Hades Royal City. Within the silence, her dark eyes once again became hazy.
She felt that something in her half-illusory body was beating quietly.
Hades Royal City, the center of the Underworld. It was equivalent to the Forgotten Continent's Forgotten City. However, even though it was the center of the Underworld, the Hades Royal City was incredibly run-down, and it did not have the grandeur and grandeur that a royal city should have. Instead, it gave off a gloomy, oppressive feeling. Standing far away from the city gates, Ling Chen saw the Undead Warriors guarding the city gates. The Underworld was a hidden world in the Mystic Moon world, and it was a world that players should not be able to enter. However, he had easily entered because of Leng'Er. Since he had come here, how could he not enter this mysterious Royal City? Perhaps he would be able to receive some hidden quests and obtain things that he could not obtain in the outside world. However, the Hades Royal City was a place where the Underworld's most powerful Undead gathered. They all had powerful Undead power and intelligence that was not inferior to that of humans. After all, Ling Chen was a living person. In low-level places in the Underworld, his aura could not be discovered, but in this Royal City, which was filled with high-level Undead, there was no way that he would not be discovered.
If he was discovered by an Undead, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After thinking for a long time, Ling Chen finally gave up on the idea of entering the Underworld Royal City. He flew back into the air and flew towards the Underworld Blood Lake … his goal in coming to the Underworld was to enter the Underworld Blood Lake and find the orb, so it was best not to take any unnecessary risks.
The Underworld Blood Lake was to the north of the Underworld Royal City, and it was less than 10 kilometres away from the Underworld Royal City's northern gates. However, Ling Chen had no idea what the Underworld Blood Lake looked like. As such, Ling Chen could only slow down and look down, trying to find the Underworld Blood Lake.
The further he got from the Underworld Royal City, the fewer Undead there were. About 15 minutes later, a high-level Undead Warrior leisurely walked past Ling Chen. Ling Chen frowned and quickly descended, landing in front of this Undead Warrior, giving it a big fright and causing it to instinctively retreat. At that moment, Ling Chen's eyes flashed and he instantly released the [Deity Curse].
"Ding … the Libra Orb's effects have been activated, [Deity Curse]'s cooldown time has been reset."
