104: Chapter 104 System Danger Warning
As expected, there was no one home tonight. Chu Nantian and Jiang Yulan both sent WeChat messages saying the company was too busy and they didn't have time to go back, so they told them to just order takeout.
After Chu Xiao replied to them, he went into the kitchen himself. With the blessing of [Divine-Grade Cooking Skills], the food he cooked was so delicious it could make one swallow their own tongue.
The two children, Chu Lingyin and Chu Jie, scrambled and fought over the food.
In the end, Chu Jie didn't manage to grab a chicken wing.
Tang Caier also had sauce all over her face, not acting like a lady at all. As a ghost who had just been resurrected, she missed the delicacies of the Mortal world too much.
"Chu Xiao, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious! I wonder who will marry you in the future; she will definitely be super, super happy."
Tang Caier said, stuttering while stuffing food into her mouth.
Chu Xiao did not respond. He himself was unclear about this question. Currently, Pei Yimo and Li Qingxue had both been intimate with him.
As for this Tang Caier in front of him... it was also a sure thing.
"You all take your time eating. I'm going out for a bit."
Chu Xiao said as he stood up, then added to Tang Caier: "I might be back late. I'll leave the two children in your care. That's no problem, right?"
Tang Caier waved her hand: "Go, go! Looking after children is my specialty!"
He walked out of the courtyard.
Chu Xiao still felt uneasy; he always felt that Tang Caier was unreliable, so he ordered A-Li to be responsible for monitoring the place.
Inside the cosmic battleship, A-Li was operating the star map and nodded: "Master, please rest assured. Your family has been locked onto, and I am monitoring them at all times. Additionally, I have also locked onto the whereabouts of your two mistresses."
"...Good, well done!" Chu Xiao chuckled, then immediately released his Divine Thought.
The next instant, his figure disappeared from where he stood.
When he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of an old well. This old well had existed for who knows how many years. A Formation was actually running on it, and one could feel waves of dense ghost Qi gushing out from within.
Suddenly, thick fog enveloped the area, making it difficult to see one's own fingers even when reaching out.
"Move faster! Dawdling like that, do you want to get whipped?" Crack! Crack! Crack!
"Officer, please don't hit me. I'm moving, I'm moving right now..."
Vaguely, a group of unremarkable little ghosts walked out of the fog. They were leading several Mortal souls as if they were walking cats or dogs, heading in the direction of the old well.
The hands and feet of those Mortal souls were bound by chains, making it very inconvenient to walk. Whip marks were visible to the naked eye on their soul bodies.
"Ouch! A living person, to think you could accidentally wander into this place!" A little ghost discovered Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao looked down at him and asked: "Does this well lead to the Underworld?"
"Holy crap, you can see me?" The little ghost let out a surprised cry, then rolled his eyes and asked with a wicked grin: "Are you trying to go to the Underworld?"
Chu Xiao nodded: "That's right, lead the way!"
The little ghost grinned and laughed strangely: "Hehehe... a living person can't go to the Underworld! If you want to go, it's not impossible. As long as you die, I can take you to the Underworld~~"
"Die? Hehehe..." Chu Xiao couldn't help but laugh. The power of an Immortal within his body erupted instantly. Terrifying pressure spread out, and all living beings within a hundred miles felt this chilling aura.
Hundreds of Cultivators looked up in this direction, some of them narrowing their eyes with playful expressions.
"Such an unfamiliar aura, to dare to openly release one's own Qi? Tsk tsk tsk, and a Late Stage Heavenly Immortal? This is interesting!"
An old man wearing a straw raincoat was holding a fishing rod, sitting cross-legged in front of a deep pool, stroking his beard and clicking his tongue incessantly.
Looking closely, beneath this deep pool, there was actually a small, Dragon-like creature swimming slowly.
"Aiya, I've been guarding you for three days, old man; you should be taking the bait by now, right?" The old man in the straw raincoat looked a bit impatient.
On the other side, feeling the terrifying aura on Chu Xiao, those little ghosts were all scared pale. How could they still care about escorting souls? They scattered and fled in all directions.
[Ding!] [Friendly reminder: Powerful beings exist in the Underworld capable of causing fatal damage to the Host. Please proceed with caution, Host.]
The System's voice flashed by.
"Powerful beings?" Chu Xiao frowned. This was the first time the System had warned him of danger. No wonder the pleasure points reward for the mission was so high; it turned out the danger level wasn't low either.
To be safe, Chu Xiao immediately decided to draw another wave from the Golden Finger item prize pool.
"System, trouble you for 5 draws from the Intermediate Golden Finger prize pool!"
